Chapter 167 Changes in Wugufang City
Too lazy to continue talking nonsense with his third aunt, Zhou Daocheng left directly after a perfunctory two words.
Only Zhou Shoulan and the Xu family were left with a confused look.
The green-clothed woman asked with some doubt: "Why do I feel that the senior is in a bad mood?"
"I don't know, did we say something wrong?"
"Maybe he has a bad temper!"
The middle-aged man interrupted everyone and said seriously: "Don't gossip behind people's backs, or go to the fog valley as soon as possible. It is really a blessing for my Xu family to meet this senior this time. Remember not to forget it in the future. If there is a chance, you must repay it tenfold!"
...
When Zhou Daocheng returned to the fog valley, it was still shrouded in thick fog, mysterious and shocking.
When he came to the first valley, the scene in front of him shocked Zhou Daocheng greatly.
In the valley of dozens of acres, a large number of buildings have been built. From a distance, they are lined up one after another, which is no worse than Baihefang City.
In particular, the buildings in the core area are extremely magnificent, with more than ten stories high, and exquisite patterns all over the building, which are extremely luxurious and exquisite.
The ordinary shops entering and leaving have also planned their own areas, neatly arranged on both sides of the road, filling the entire valley.
Looking down at the ground, the original soil has been paved with a thick layer of bluestone floor, which is very flat and stable to step on.
In just half a year, this place has been transformed from a barren ordinary valley to the exquisite and atmospheric Wugu Market.
Originally, Zhou Daocheng planned to build only a miniature market, but now it seems that the area is no smaller than Baihe Market.
Even if the second valley is added, the overall area has exceeded Baihe Market, fully reaching the standard of a small market.
Moreover, whether it is safety, the richness of spiritual energy, or the richness of surrounding resources, it is much better than Baihe Market.
After taking a general look around, Zhou Daocheng nodded with satisfaction, feeling very emotional.
Building buildings in the market is not an easy task. It requires understanding the layout of the market and making precise plans and distribution according to the environment of the fog valley.
For ordinary casual cultivators, these are very difficult tasks, but fortunately Wei Hanshan is not an ordinary casual cultivator, but an extremely experienced cultivator.
So these tasks were given to him and all got almost perfect results.
After Zhou Daocheng walked around, he went directly to the second valley.
Normally, the first valley is only used to rent shops and conduct transactions.
The second valley is the core of the high-level people in the fog valley.
Because only powerful cultivators with strong strength and a certain status can afford to buy spiritual fields and caves in the second valley.
In addition, the founders of the market like Wei Hanshan will also get spiritual fields and caves for free in the second valley.
All those who can stay here are either rich or noble.
When Zhou Daocheng arrived, there were already many people in the second valley. Because it was close to the opening of the market, Yuan Zhong, Xie Zhouhe and others had already returned.
At the same time, there are five other Qi Refining Level 9 casual cultivators recruited later, so there are a total of more than a dozen people here.
Zhou Daocheng walked in slowly, and the combination of purple robes and bronze masks immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Several unfamiliar faces all showed vigilant expressions, until Wei Hanshan came forward and saluted respectfully, the others reacted.
The five unfamiliar casual cultivators all looked at Zhou Daocheng curiously, and were quite shocked.
If they guessed correctly, the person in front of them was the real founder of Wugu, an extremely powerful formation master.
Such a person, whether in status, strength, or identity, is far above these Qi Refining Level 9 casual cultivators.
Therefore, the group still saluted respectfully and called him senior.
Zhou Daocheng just nodded slightly, looked at Wei Hanshan, and asked: "Old Wei, how is the situation in the market?"
Wei Hanshan said respectfully: "Reporting to the senior, everything that should be prepared has been prepared. As long as the matters of the auction are prepared, the market can be opened directly."
Zhou Daocheng nodded. Wei Hanshan was only responsible for the construction of the market building, and he was fully responsible for the auction.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Daocheng said: "Old Wei, notify them. The market will officially open in seven days, and the auction will also be held on that day."
Old Wei was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Daocheng to act so quickly and plan to open the market directly.
Somewhat worriedly asked: "Senior, do we need to do more preparations? For example, continue to recruit a group of independent cultivators. If we can have a foundation-building independent cultivator join us, our safety in the future will be greatly guaranteed."
Zhou Daocheng shook his head and said indifferently: "Everyone who should come has come. It's not that we can recruit foundation-building strongmen by continuing to recruit."
Hearing this, Old Wei also nodded slightly.
He actually understood that although Wugu seemed to be thriving, it could collapse at any time, so the strong foundation builders would never join easily.
The various forces in Baihefang City were watching here, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time to completely eliminate this competitor.
If Wugu could not withstand the pressure of Baihefang City, it would inevitably collapse and be eaten up by the wolves.
It was even very likely that on the day when Wugufang City opened, it would be directly invaded by Baihefang City, and the foundation building war would break out, causing Wugufang City to change its owner.
These are all potential dangers. Before everything is settled, most of the strong are in a wait-and-see state and will not choose to settle in the Fog Valley Market immediately.
And the auction is the most important opportunity.
Many people will not let the auction go smoothly, nor will they let the Fog Valley Market open smoothly.
But even so, Zhou Daocheng is unwilling to wait any longer.
What is coming will come eventually, and you can't escape it even if you want to. It is better to face all challenges head-on.
"Old Wei, go and make arrangements directly. Leave the things outside the Fog Valley to me, and you will be responsible for the things inside the Fog Valley."
Wei Hanshan nodded carefully, "Okay, since the senior has made a decision, then Wei will naturally go all out."
After speaking, Zhou Daocheng nodded, turned around and left calmly, and walked slowly towards the third valley.
Until the figure completely disappeared in the mist, the depressing atmosphere was relieved.
Several newly joined Qi Refining Level 9 casual cultivators stepped forward with lingering fear and asked, "Old Wei, is this the senior formation master?"
"Yes, if you are sincere in joining the Wugu Market, the senior formation master will definitely not treat you unfairly." Wei Hanshan said indifferently.
"Of course, Old Wei, are you still worried about our character? But I have a question, aren't there only two valleys here? Where did the senior formation master go just now?"
