“A cultivator?”

“That’s right!”

Chen Daoxuan immediately revealed an expression of being a promising student. Then, he said in a deep voice,”Now that the Cangzhou Business Alliance has been established, the major families in Cangzhou seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, everyone wants to fight for the leadership of the Cangzhou Business Alliance.

The Zhou Clan is like this, the Zhang Clan of Jin ‘an Prefecture is like this, our Chen Clan naturally won’t fall behind.

In order to control the Cangzhou Business Alliance, the most important thing was not the so-called voting power of the Cangzhou Business Alliance. It was just a false name and had no practical effect.

“To my Chen family, the most important thing is to build the Sea-viewing Immortal City to be as prosperous as the Azure Continent Immortal City back then. We can even form a master-servant relationship with the other immortal cities in the Azure Continent.

“To do this, the scale of our Seaview Immortal City has to be expanded by at least ten times!

How many freelance martial artists do you need to do this?”

“Hiss!”

After a brief calculation, Chen Daolan felt his scalp go numb.

Currently, Guanhai Immortal City had nearly 500,000 permanent cultivators. Although it was not as large as Guang ‘an Prefecture Immortal City’s nearly one million cultivators, it was even comparable to Ling Zhou Immortal City.

However, Seaview Immortal City was the newest immortal city in Guang ‘an Prefecture.

Moreover, the Chen family was the weakest among the major families in Guang ‘an Prefecture.

It was a miracle that Guanhai Immortal City could develop to this extent in such a short period of time.

“But what do we need so many cultivators for? In the end, rogue cultivators were still too poor. Although they had a large number of people, their spending power was far inferior to the cultivators of their families.”

“On the surface, it seems so.”

Chen Daoxuan nodded.” But think about it. What if we let them enter the magical equipment factory in the future?”

“A magic tool factory?”

Hearing this.

Chen Dailian was completely stunned.

Even after the establishment of the pharmaceutical factory, the profits of the magical equipment factory had lagged far behind that of the pharmaceutical factory. However, the magical equipment factory of the Chen family was, after all, a sharp weapon for the Chen family to rise.

Letting the secret practitioners enter the factory just like that…

“But Young Clan Leader, wouldn’t this expose the clan’s secret?”

“It’s true that we’ll be exposed, but as long as we’re strong enough, we can take this risk.”

Chen Daoxuan paused,” The biggest secret of the magic tool factory is the Melting Spirit Stove. As long as you protect the refining method of the Melting Spirit Stove, you won’t be afraid of being exposed. In the Infinite Star Sea, which powerful family doesn’t have secrets?

Only the weak would try their best to keep secrets. The strong did not need to.

Besides, we’re not letting the secret practitioners enter the factory now, so what’s the rush?”

Chen Daoxuan shook his head and smiled.” Dao Lian, you have to remember that as the head of the family, everything we do, other than the immediate benefits, is more about planning for the future.

It was the same for issuing paper money and for Guanhai Immortal City to absorb itinerant cultivators.”

As he spoke.

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand.

A map of Cangzhou appeared in front of them.

Chen Daoxuan pointed and said,”Look, this is all the immortal cities in Cangzhou.””

On the map, red dots surrounded the Sea-viewing Immortal City and were densely distributed throughout the entire Cangzhou.

Among them, the red dot in Guanhai Immortal City was the biggest and brightest.

These red dots were connected by dotted lines. These dotted lines were the routes of the large transport ships of the Cangzhou Business Alliance.

“When the time is right, these immortal cities and their families will become the raw material supply and commodity output of my Chen family.

At that time, you will know that in this world, the truly terrifying plundering often doesn’t involve bloodshed..”
