But this is also necessary, as trading is the most dangerous, the three have already experienced it.

Immortal——

As a First Rank Level Nine Talisman Master, she earns at least 1000 Spirit Stones for the town every month and can take half the earnings.

The town provides her with ten knives of talisman paper, ten bottles of talismanic ink every month.

Equipped with a top tier First Rank talisman pen.

If she plans to learn Second Rank talismans, the town will invest in purchasing talisman paper, talismanic ink, talisman pen, and talismanic book required for Second Rank talismans. If no Second Rank talismans are drawn for half a year, half the investment must be returned—the decision on cultivation quotas also requires confirmation by the three.

"What about fishing?" Immortal asked.

Jiang Xiaoyue had long thought about it and said:

"The fish are a resource of the town, and no one is allowed to fish privately. Each time we fish, we purchase a Thunder Sound Talisman from Xian'er at market price. In the future, other methods are also acceptable, but we also need to pay Spirit Stones.

"Each of us must fish once a month, and only once. The Spirit Stones from the sale are divided into one-tenth each for the three of us, and the remaining seventy percent goes to the town."

As for the town's Spirit Stones, they are used to purchase arrays, spiritual contracts, cultivate craftsmen, and so on.

The three of them get one bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill each month, also funded by the town—for those promoted to the late stage of Qi Refinement, it's the Qi Condensing Pill.

In addition, standard magic robes and magic artifacts are another expense.

The town, when it becomes wealthier, will gradually open stores and purchase flying boats.

As for meals, cultivation techniques, etc., they're to be purchased with one's own money.

In the end, there was only one remaining question—

"What about Senior Shui Zhongyue?" Xu Ni asked softly.

It's tricky to arrange.

They are in the Qi Refinement Realm and cannot assign tasks to someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Since she doesn't do tasks, giving her Spirit Stones seems quite a loss.

"Xian'er, could you ask?" Jiang Xiaoyue whispered.

Despite looking confident in front of Immortal and Xu Ni, it was because they were her friends. Essentially, she was still just a "clay seller" and dared not knock on the door of someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Immortal was also just a girl and similarly dared not, but she had a branch at her waist, giving her unmatched confidence.

Shui Zhongyue also couldn't underestimate her.

Immortal nodded: "I'll go ask."

She wasn't very afraid either, as she knocked on the Mistress' door daily.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, she came to Shuiyue Cave, holding the branch in her left hand, nervously touching the array with her right hand.

The dense blue light curtain opened up like a door.

"Come in."

Immortal looked back at the two of them, who were cheering her on, and gritted her teeth, diving into the cave.

Not long after, she came out.

"What did she say?" The two asked anxiously.

"Senior Shui said she doesn't want Spirit Stones unless she opens a profitable channel or delegates selling supplies to us, in which case the split would be as we set."

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Xiaoyue let out a sigh of relief.

"Didn't she mention any obligations? After all, she's using the stele of Senior God." Xu Ni was somewhat unwilling.

"I, I didn't dare to bring it up." Immortal stammered in response.

"That's fine," Jiang Xiaoyue nodded contentedly, "We'll talk about obligations when we reach the Foundation Establishment Stage ourselves. This also encourages us to hurry up with our cultivation."

"Then let's start cultivating!" Xu Ni declared.

Just having divided the Qi Nourishing Pills, plus the abundant Spiritual Energy in the cave, naturally a good effort was in order.

However, Jiang Xiaoyue hesitated and said shyly: "I need to find a way to bring Xiaomei here. Leaving it at the Lake Sound Square Inn wastes Spirit Crystals, and besides, I'm not at ease."

"I'll go with you," Immortal said, "Xiaomei saved me once."

"Then I'll go too!" Xu Ni hurriedly said, "If you both leave, what if a fierce ghost comes looking for us!"

Immortal asked puzzledly: "Isn't Senior Shui Zhongyue here?"

Xu Ni whispered like a mouse: "What if, what if the Senior is in seclusion and doesn't handle affairs?"

The three discussed and simply went fishing again, filling up three Storage Bags.

Yesterday's scale armor crucian carp, stunned by the Thunder Sound Talisman, had all woken up, so they used another Thunder Sound Talisman.

Afterwards, the Spirit Stones would be given to Immortal according to market price.

Additionally, they discovered that some fish had turned into mushy flesh, with eerie Ghostly Energy lingering around them.

"It's a fierce ghost!" Immortal immediately recognized the aura.

"Looks like she hasn't left, still nearby." Jiang Xiaoyue remarked in a deep voice.

"Hope she goes to the cave and gets smacked to death by Senior Shui with one palm!" Xu Ni expressed both hatred and a bit of fear.

The three traveled cautiously on a Water King Lotus for half a day, arriving at Lake Sound Square.

As soon as they entered the embrace of the bay, a law enforcement disciple approached with an Imaging Stone, questioning the three of them.

"Never seen it." The three shook their heads.

The law enforcement disciple repeated once more, as long as there was information, there would be full support from the seven sects for cultivation, guaranteed to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

After the law enforcement disciple left, Xu Ni excitedly asked in a low voice: "How about it, is he good-looking?"

"Hmm..." Immortal said nothing.

"Nizi, weren't you planning to become a nun?" Jiang Xiaoyue teased.

"I'm just asking you guys! If he proposed to you, would you accept him?!" Xu Ni asked loudly.

"..." The two remained silent.

"Hm, acting all shy, today after selling the fish, I'll buy an Imaging Stone and secretly watch at night."

"Lower your voice," Jiang Xiaoyue continued the tease.

Immortal, not initially reacting, suddenly remembered last night's story, realizing what Xu Ni planned to do.

This...

[This!] Li Changzhou himself was speechless, deciding to carefully watch Xu Ni tonight and not let her act recklessly.

Immortal snickered, even the great God couldn't handle Nizi.

Entering the town, the three sold the scale armor crucian carp, gaining 1200 Spirit Stones.

"One-tenth each per person, 120 Spirit Stones, Xian'er, here are 100 Spirit Stones for the Thunder Sound Talisman." Xu Ni began distributing the money.

Current total town assets: 740

Immortal's assets: 220

With money in hand, it's natural to go shopping.
