Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Qingyun City, a Spirit Boat slowly descended.

It was Lin Shiming and his companions coming from afar. After stowing away the Spirit Boat, they walked towards the city gate.

The city gate was busier than ever, especially with the cultivators setting up their stalls on the ground, which were particularly numerous. It is known that more than ten years ago, Lin Shiming had also visited Qingyun City for the Qingyun Grand Meeting. This time, the event was far more grand and livelier than the last.

And among the cultivators who came, there were quite a few from other states, as evidenced by the significant number carrying Storage Bracelets, indicating that many from the Spirit Beast Sect's territory were also present.

The previous Qingyun Grand Meeting was hosted by just one sect, whereas this time, it was organized by three sects together.

Just the reputation of the Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect alone was enough to excite every cultivator from the four states under Qingxuan Sect's jurisdiction.

Lin Shiyi's expression at that moment was a testament to this excitement. It was his first time attending the Qingxuan Grand Meeting in Qingxuan City, unlike Lin Yuzheng, who was seasoned and well-traveled, his gaze was eager to enter the makeshift market for treasure hunting.

He hoped that he, too, could secure a Third Rank Demonic Beast larva just like Lin Shiming once did.

"Second brother, all these stalls outside, they're set up by cultivators who are reluctant to enter the city!" said Lin Shiming with a somewhat amused and helpless expression. Lin Shiyi then gave a simple smile, scratched the back of his head, and said nothing, but his gaze became noticeably more focused.

As usual, the group entered the city gate, yet as soon as they did, they felt an immense authority emanating from the gate itself.

Immediately, their hearts trembled. Lin Shiming looked up in surprise but found that the three characters "Qingyun City" were extraordinary.

At one glance, his eyes stung in pain, as a fierce Sword Qi descended from the nine heavens.

He quickly looked away and warned the others:

"Don't look at the Qingyun City signboard!"

However, his warning was clearly too late as everyone was already sweating profusely, as if they had gone through a major battle. The wariness in their eyes lingered.

"This must be to deter petty thieves!" Lin Shiming thought, aware that the three characters were newly painted. He couldn't help but think of the Li Family.

Clearly, the Qingxuan Sect was dissatisfied with certain families and was warning everyone.

The group didn't look at the signboard again and queued up to enter, paying ten Spirit Stones per person, a total of fifty Spirit Stones.

"Let's go to Laiyue Tower!" Lin Shiming spoke up.

That place was most familiar to him, and the idea for the Spiritual Meals had originated there during his last visit.

Laiyue Tower was still extravagantly decorated, with a constant stream of cultivators coming and going.

Laiyue Tower had three floors, both the number of people and the cultivation levels of the cultivators attracted the attention of everyone. This was especially true for Lin Houwei, Lin Shiyi, and Lin Houxuan.

They had thought the Lin Family's restaurant in Xing County was already luxurious and that the number of cultivator patrons was something to be proud of, but upon seeing Laiyue Tower, they understood that the Lin Family still had a long way to go.

"Senior, do you have a reservation?" the apprentice of Qi Cultivation addressed them with his head bowed as usual.

"No, we need a private room on the second floor, and five additional rooms!"

"Alright, senior, this way please!"

Lin Shiming, familiar with the place, led the group to the second floor and chose a private room. They ordered a meal of Spiritual Meals, and sure enough, as expected, Laiyue Tower now had Spirit Fish cuisine.

To his surprise, the Red Spirit Fish meal was the lowest grade at Laiyue Tower; the highest-grade Spirit Fish meal had already reached Third Rank Inferior Grade Spirit Fish Meal.

"Uncle Five, how has our Lin Family Restaurant in Xing County been doing recently?" Lin Shiming asked while eating, turning to Lin Yuzheng beside him.

Unlike Lin Shiyi and Lin Houwei, he was now the Family Head of the Lin Family, and naturally, he had much more to consider.

Lin Yuzheng understood Lin Shiming's question and responded with a slight smile:

"Family Head, currently the main sales of Lin Family Restaurant are Green Spiritual Wine and Monkey Wine. As for the Spiritual Meals, we serve Spirit Fish cuisine and ordinary Spirit Meat meals, netting between 200 to 300 Spirit Stones monthly!"

"Uncle Five, I have a suggestion regarding Spiritual Meals. Our Lin Family can no longer be limited to just Spirit Fish and Spirit Meat meals; we must develop new Spiritual Meals. In terms of meat quality, Spirit Snake, Spirit Shrimp, and Spirit Turtle Meals all need to be researched! As long as they are aquatic Spirit Beasts with no strong aggressiveness, we can farm them.

Qinglian Lake is currently not lacking in Spiritual Energy."

Lin Shiming spoke with conviction, knowing that the family still had the Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein to reveal within the Spirit Seeking Compass, meaning the Lin Family could robustly develop the Spiritual Meals industry.

"In addition, our family's Lin Family Restaurant will also need to provide rooms with Formations in the future for Cultivators to rest and adjust."

"Very well, Family Head!" Lin Yuzheng was a business genius, grasping the point immediately. The reason he hadn't thought of this earlier was because he was previously focused on managing trading caravans and paying more attention to the Family Head's Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

But in this instant, seeing the popularity of Laiyue Tower, he immediately recognized the great profit potential of this venture and also saw an opportunity to arrange some practical Formation work for the newly established Formation Hall of the family.

One should know that the auction hosted by the Lin Family, with its policy of reducing Spirit Stone fees, had also become quite famous among the Loose Cultivators in Yunzhou.

"Furthermore, the restaurant should implement a patron policy. As long as a Cultivator stays for three consecutive days, they will be given a patron card that gives a two-tier discount on all Spiritual Meals at the restaurant," Lin Shiming spoke again.

This was also a crucial point for him, which he had previously implemented at auctions, but he was worried that Lin Yuzheng might not understand it. Therefore, he only brought up this idea after being stimulated by Laiyue Tower's revenue.

As expected, Lin Yuzheng was stunned at this suggestion, knowing that the profit of the Lin Family Restaurant wasn't excessive. Farming, capturing, and preparing Spirit Fish all required the time of family Cultivators, and the profit was only about thirty to forty percent. Giving away twenty percent would almost cut the profit in half.

However, he then thought of the auction house. Initially, it was also Lin Shiming who had come up with the idea of repeat consumption. Upon reflecting on the popularity of Laiyue Tower, he suddenly saw the light.

"This is a good idea!"

Cultivators who stay longer in the square market spend more, and most importantly, a bustling market attracts people!

A bustling market will surely draw in new Loose Cultivators, and now the Lin Family already has five Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Currently, Lin Shijie and Lin Houyuan take turns overseeing Xing County, so there's no need to worry about any trouble arising.

Moreover, the Lin Family's patron policy has already gained a small reputation in Yunzhou through the auction house.

In particular, after Qingyun City suffered a Spirit Beast tide, many Cultivators still feel apprehensive and dare not venture deep into Qingyun Mountain ranges. By comparison, the surroundings, like Xing County Square Market, are thriving under the leadership of the Lin Family.

"Family Head, once we return, we'll implement this right away!" Lin Yuzheng nodded, his eyes showing how feasible this plan was, distracted from his meal by the exciting potential.

Having only had a sip of wine, he continued to work on the strategy.

Lin Shiming provided the ideas and direction. As for the specific discount rates and benefits, that was naturally for Lin Yuzheng and others to decide.

After finishing the Spiritual Meal, everyone returned to their rooms, and Lin Shiming also announced that everyone could have seven days of free time and after seven days, they would all attend the Qingxuan auction together.
