You should know that in the Southern Sea Cultivation World, spiritual objects and materials from Spirit Beasts are far more abundant than in the Eastern Domain, which has led to a greater presence of cultivating powers and Loose Cultivators here.
Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, not often seen in the Eastern Domain, are plentiful here, and even Golden Core Loose Cultivators exist within the Southern Sea Cultivation World!
Most importantly, Heavenly Phenomenon Island is located in the Outer Sea region, attracting a large number of Cultivators from other sea areas each year to hunt Demonic Beasts or seek treasures.
The flow of people is extremely large.
"Ninth brother, Shiming, this time all three shops will adopt a membership system and a rebate system. Additionally, customized Artifact Refining and Alchemy will also be initiated..."
Lin Houyuan outlined the family’s plans one by one.
Lin Houyuan and Lin Shiming both nodded in agreement, with the latter’s plans clearly having been considered for a long time. Ten years ago, the Lin Family began to engage with Heavenly Phenomenon Island, and for this day, Lin Houyuan thought more than anyone else.
He even had plans for what to serve for the first time in the restaurant, how many people would be in the first batch of memberships, and which powers would be given those memberships – all had been listed!
For Lin Houxuan and Lin Shizhong, the anticipation had been long-standing.
Since the Alchemy Pavilion and Artifact Refining Pavilion of the Lin Family did not open to the public, the consequence was an accumulation of Second Rank and Third Rank Magic Artifacts and Elixirs.
And with the shortage of materials for Artifact Refining and Alchemy, the family’s Alchemists and Artifact Refiners had fewer opportunities to practice their craft.
Now, with the reopening of customization opportunities, those Alchemists and Artifact Refiners of the family who had been recognized and graded could undertake customized Artifact Refining and Alchemy, earning experience and an extra batch of Spirit Stones for their cultivation.
"Houyuan, this time there are a total of four core shops. The remaining one should also be opened to gather intelligence and spiritual materials, as well as to issue some commissioned tasks!"
"In addition, the ten less important shops should be leased out, but half of them should be re-leased under the name of Loose Cultivators. Our foundation in the Coral Sea Domain is still shallow; we need to prepare both overtly and covertly!" Lin Houyuan added some supplements, thoroughly perfecting the plan, and Lin Houyuan nodded in agreement.
"Father, for the opening of the restaurant this time, it’s still a bit ordinary. How about taking out some Spiritual Pearls to create some cultivation rooms, for rent only, not for sale!" Lin Shiming spoke up again.
The group of Spirit Shells raised by the Lin Family, under the heavy feeding of Beast Nurturing Pills, had a better breeding effect than Spiritual Turtles and Spiritual Crocodiles.
The restaurant was naturally not just for lodging; with the addition of Nurturing Spirit Formations and Spiritual Pearls, there might even be Cultivators who come to the Lin Family shops to enter closed-door cultivation and breakthroughs.
Along with Spiritual Meals, Spiritual Wine, and Spiritual Tea, these could all be sold together!
The benefits from this would increase yet again!
A huge market of Loose Cultivators, coupled with the Lin Family’s unique Spiritual Meals, Spiritual Tea, and cultivation rooms, would definitely improve the Lin Family’s financial income rapidly.
When Shiming spoke thus, Lin Houyuan’s face lit up with surprise, almost ready to give Shiming a high-five!
He had always wanted to do this, but since the Spirit Shells involved a rather significant matter and the family’s Cultivators also frequently lacked Spiritual Pearls, if he were to propose it, the Lin Family might not be willing.
But if Shiming proposed it, it was as good as done!
Lin Houyuan thought about it and likewise had no objections.
Not only because the plan was indeed good, but also because the group of Spirit Shells was brought back by Shiming, who had the absolute right to make decisions on the matter.
With the family development discussions concluded, everyone turned their attention to Lin Shiyi, who listened on in a fog.
Lin Shiyi was truly not very interested in family commerce and development, with little advice to offer. Most of the time, the family would assign tasks to him to complete.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was the groom of the upcoming wedding, he wouldn’t be partaking in these discussions.
Shiming even teased him, asking about his and Ye Yujiao’s acquaintance process.
In the end, it appeared to be another story of a hero saving a beauty.
Shiming chuckled lightly; strength prevails in the Cultivation World, and female Cultivators were no exception to this rule of the strong.
This caused Lin Shiyi’s face to turn red as he stood there stiffly, scratching his head.
That morning, the Lin Family’s Cultivators set off toward Heavenly Phenomenon Island in a grand procession, aboard a Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Boat, draped with red silks.
It was a scene of immense festivity!
```
Whether it’s the opening of a tavern or a wedding, both are joyful occasions.
The cultivators of the Lin Family were also beaming with joy. This trip to Heavenly Phenomenon Island naturally included many young members from the Ze generation of the Lin Family, most of whom were alchemists and artifact refiners. A few were geniuses from the Lin Family who followed to broaden their horizons.
Lin Zeli and Lin Zewen were among them. Both had undergone tremendous changes these days, especially Lin Zeli, who had frequented the Sword Pavilion, and his Sword Intent had even begun to take shape.
His cultivation had reached the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, and with a Spirit Root similar to that of Lin Xianzhi, he was not inferior to Lin Shiyuan, who possessed an unusual Spirit Root, among Qi Cultivators in terms of his standing within the Lin Family.
Lin Zewen, who was already on the path of commerce, naturally followed Lin Houyuan to learn with an open mind.
The distance to Heavenly Phenomenon Island was not short; along the way, the Lin Family encountered many demonic beasts.
Their Third Rank Supreme Grade Spirit Boat sailed for three full days.
Lin Shiming estimated that even if he were driving a Fourth Rank treasure boat with all his power, it would take a day to reach Heavenly Phenomenon Island from Shuangmu Island.
Upon arrival at Heavenly Phenomenon Island, everyone was somewhat surprised to see the island in front of them resembling an aerial dock. Discover hidden content at freewebnovel
Countless Spirit Boats were seen flying from Heavenly Phenomenon Island towards the endless sea.
There were also many flying demonic beasts and those from the depths of the sea.
Accompanying them were numerous cultivators returning from the sea, some with injuries and some with joy.
The scale of Heavenly Phenomenon Island was undoubtedly huge, about three times the size of Shuangmu Island, with four or five smaller islands around it serving as protective subsidiary islands.
These subsidiary islands were strategically placed, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they were part of some special formations.
Lin Shiming was extremely interested in this, but he simply shook his head after a while due to their complexity.
"Lin Family Head!" As the Lin Family’s Spirit Boat approached, Ye Changxing appeared in the distance again, taking the initiative to guide and introduce the Lin Family.
To set foot on Heavenly Phenomenon Island, a toll of ten Inferior Grade Spirit Stones per person was required, somewhat similar to Qingxuan Sect’s Qingxuan City.
The Spirit Stones were only needed for entering the island. As for when one left, they didn’t care—as long as you had the Spirit Stones to deal with all aspects of the marketplace, they would even welcome you to never leave the island.
After the Lin Family paid a large sum of Spirit Stones, they finally entered Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
All along, Ye Changxing introduced Heavenly Phenomenon Island. Currently, it was under the control of Purple Jade Sect, which had two Purple Mansion cultivators: the sect leader of Purple Jade Sect, Zi Yu Loose, and his wife, Luo Yun Loose.
Zi Yu Loose was rumored to have been at the Middle Stage of the Purple Mansion a hundred years ago, while Luo Yun Loose was in the Early Stage and had broken through only about sixty years ago!
As for their actual cultivation levels, Ye Changxing wasn’t clear, as no one dared to offend the face of Purple Jade Sect near Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
Under Purple Jade Sect were three major Foundation Establishment families specializing in different areas: the Duan Family in artifact refining, the Ye Family in alchemy, and the Cheng Family in talisman crafting.
Among these families, the Ye Family had the longest history, tracing back to the original owner of Heavenly Phenomenon Island a thousand years ago. But after the fall of a Purple Mansion cultivator, no one else had broken through to the Purple Mansion, and the title of island owner naturally slipped away.
When Ye Changxing talked about the three major families, he showed helplessness, as their former Family Head, Ye Changhong with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, had unfortunately perished.
As a result, the Cheng and Duan Families seemed eager to kick the Ye Family out of their position.
Of course, Lin Shiming wouldn’t fully believe this; although the Ye Family lacked a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they had at least two at the Middle Stage and quite a few at the Early Stage.
The urgency of the Duan and Cheng Families led Lin Shiming to believe there were other reasons behind their actions.
However, in the eyes of the Lin Family, the three major families’ squabbles were akin to child’s play!
His aim had always been the Purple Jade Sect.
A cultivator who had broken through to the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion a hundred years ago was not someone Lin Shiming was confident he could surely defeat.
Moreover, Lin Shiming also needed to find a Golden Core family from the Coral Alliance for protection!

Only with the support of the Coral Alliance could the Lin Family secure their position on Heavenly Phenomenon Island and then gradually make their move.
"The central market is just ahead!" In no time, the group had reached the center of the market, where even more cultivators were coming and going.
