I have hundreds of millions of servants in the cultivation world.

Chapter 26 Finding New Jobs, Encountering Zhang Fu Again

Several days later.

Outside the main gate of Ruoshui Market.

"We've finally arrived."

Looking at the Ruoshui Market before him, the travel-worn Ye Xuan'an felt a sense of peace.

Ruoshui Market was established jointly by various forces in Ruoshui County, with many cultivators stationed there and a large array set up. In terms of defense capabilities alone, it was in no way inferior to the clan territories of Foundation Establishment forces such as the Zhao Clan.

Even if the Lava Demon is incredibly bold, he probably wouldn't dare to attack alone.

Therefore, this place can be considered a relatively safe place for Ye Xuan'an.

In addition, although he had escaped the pursuit of the demonic cultivators several days ago.

However, to avoid any accidents, he deliberately took a long detour before daring to show himself in the market.

Because of his caution, he remained safe and sound throughout the journey.

"By the way, I wonder what the situation is like at the mine now. Is the Zhao family able to reclaim it?"

Did Fellow Daoist Pei Su escape unscathed, just as I did?

Ye Xuan'an was extremely curious about and attached great importance to this.

After all, he and Pei Su had a fairly good relationship, and if something happened to her, he would lose a good friend, which would be a real pity.

As for that vein, it can still be mined for some time.

If the Zhao family can reclaim that mine and stabilize the chaotic situation, he intends to return to that place and mine for ore for a while longer.

After all, this matter could bring numerous benefits.

Therefore, he went to a shop called Tingfengtang to inquire about information.

That shop specializes in selling all sorts of information, and the prices are especially reasonable.

In addition, because Pei Su was not famous, he did not find out any news about him, but he did find out that Pei Su had escorted Zhao Xingchuan and successfully led a group of elite cultivators from the Blood Fiend Gang to escape.

But after that, they disappeared without a trace, seemingly having gone to the outside world. Even Tingfeng Hall could not find their whereabouts.

"Zhao Xingchuan's move was indeed clever."

"And judging from this, it's highly likely that Fellow Daoist Pei Su is still alive."

Ye Xuan'an made a guess in his heart and showed a hint of joy.

In addition, according to Tingfengtang, the Zhao family's various sacred sites were breached by the Huangsha Wang family last night.

Moreover, over 90% of the Zhao clan cultivators were killed.

However, it is rumored that quite a few cultivators from the Zhao family have also fled.

There was even a member of the Zhao clan who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, although the Zhao clan was defeated, it still retained its power and may rise again in the future.

As for the mine, it was occupied by the Lava Demon.

Moreover, he was suspected of having some dealings with the Wang family of Huangsha, so the Zhao family of Huangsha did not take action against him afterwards.

Instead, he tacitly allowed the Lava Demon to occupy the mine and force the captured miners to mine.

That mine was like a living hell.

"I truly never imagined that the situation at the mine would turn out like that, and that such a powerful Foundation Establishment force as the Zhao family would be breached..."

Upon hearing the news, Ye Xuan'an was shocked and deeply felt the cruelty of the cultivation world.

At the same time, he became even more determined on his path.

After all, only those with high cultivation levels can have strong self-protection abilities.

"While Ruoshui County boasts numerous powerful individuals, including many Foundation Establishment cultivators, high-level Foundation Establishment cultivators are relatively few."

"Even reaching the mid-Foundation Establishment stage would likely make one a regional overlord. Take, for example, that old mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Black Rock Zhao Clan. If it weren't for his dwindling lifespan and greatly diminished strength, the Yellow Sand Wang Clan probably wouldn't have dared to make a move, fearing his desperate attempt."

"Therefore, let's set a small goal first: reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!"

Ye Xuan'an secretly made up his mind.

In addition, the loss of the mine was also bad news for him.

In addition, mineral veins are rare, and it is even rarer to find mines that can recruit workers from outside the area, not even in Ruoshui County or the surrounding counties.

He only had a few thousand kilograms of ore left, and it was difficult for him to buy such things on his own.

In this way, once he runs out of the ores he has, it will not only affect his chances of improving his crafting of first-grade low-level Fiery Flying Swords and Fiery Formations, but also his ability to profit from those two methods.

"That Lava Demon has truly misled me."

Ye Xuan'an pondered silently.

Subsequently, having no other choice, he decided to settle for second best and try to join some shops or forces in the market by using his skills in weapon crafting and formations.

After all, most of those shops and forces have special channels for spiritual items, such as planting spiritual plants in some rare spiritual lands, or cooperating with some demon-hunting teams for a long time.

Therefore, it is easier for them to obtain spiritual materials.

Moreover, it is relatively easy for some well-known shops and organizations to sell magical artifacts, and they can easily sell dozens of magical artifacts a month.

"If I could join them, it would be much more convenient for me to sell magical artifacts and collect spiritual materials."

Ye Xuan'an secretly made his plans.

In addition, as his skills in crafting weapons and arrays improved, he produced more and more spiritual items, and it was difficult to sell them all quickly by simply setting up a stall.

Therefore, he often had headaches because of this.

However, joining those shops and factions usually comes at a price, so he has never done so before.

In addition, he also intended to find an opportunity to insert Kui Yi and others into some reliable demon-hunting teams, and let Kui Yi and others hunt demons with those teams to earn profits and obtain spiritual materials.

Hunting demons is indeed dangerous.

Even if Kui Yi and his group are quite strong, they are still prone to getting into trouble.

However, if they could join some demon-hunting teams and team up with some cultivators to hunt demons, that would be a different story.

As for demon-hunting teams, they are usually composed of multiple cultivators who specialize in hunting demons and other such tasks. Most of them are skilled fighters, adept at teamwork, and highly capable.

"By the way, I remember Brother Zhang mentioned before that he works at the Dongyang Refining Shop in the east of the market, and that Qiu Yang, the old drunkard, is one of his bosses..."

Ye Xuan'an was extremely interested in that weapon-refining shop.

After all, he was familiar with Qiu Yang and knew that Qiu Yang's cultivation level was not high. Working under such a weapon refiner would be safer.

He then used Tingfenglou to inquire about the other owner of the shop.

According to Tingfenglou, the other boss was named Li Dong, and his cultivation level was also average.

However, because both he and Qiu Yang were skilled in crafting artifacts, their success rate in crafting various first-grade low-level spiritual items reached 40% to 50%.

In addition, they have been running the shop for nearly two or three years, so they have accumulated a lot of experience and their business is doing quite well.

They even have stable partnerships with many reliable demon-hunting teams to acquire spiritual materials, allowing them to obtain a large quantity of such materials.

"Upon careful consideration, the Dongyang Weapon Refining Shop might be a good place for both me and Kui Yi and the others."

Ye Xuan'an pondered for a long time before secretly making up his mind.

He then found a corner, summoned Kui Yi and the others from the servant tower, and with a bit of anticipation, went to the shop address that Zhang Fu had given him.

Soon, he arrived at the Dongyang Refining Shop.

Although the shop's location was not ideal, it was in a good area, and there was a small courtyard at the back where people could live.
