"Third Uncle-Master, how many alchemical pills have you refined?"

Zhang Yang hurriedly arrived at Aoki Peak and found Danchenzi.

Danchenzi sat on the ground, looking exhausted and worried. "Zhang Yang, refining pills requires energy, otherwise, they can't be made! I haven't slept for ten days. You have to let me rest, right?"

In the past, he worried about not having enough spiritual herbs for pill refining. Now, he was overwhelmed with work.

"Uncle-Master, hang in there a bit longer. Once this period is over, things will get better," Zhang Yang encouraged Danchenzi. "This is our opportunity. If we miss it, who knows when we'll have another chance."

"Uncle-Master, just endure a little more. I promise you, once this period is over, you won't have to refine pills anymore. You can rest well. By then, I'll give you endless spirit stones and spiritual herbs. This involves the reform of the Azurecloud Sect; we can't slack off."

Danchenzi forced a bitter smile. Here we go again!

The pills he had refined during this period, from low to high grade, probably numbered in the thousands, right?

And it still wasn't enough?

However, seeing Zhang Yang's bloodshot eyes, he knew Zhang Yang hadn't rested either.

So, he could only say, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"Uncle-Master, thank you for your help. I'm off!" Zhang Yang said his goodbyes and headed to the Artifact Refining Peak.

On the Artifact Refining Peak, Huolingzi was using his hands to ignite flames, smelting materials.

Seeing Zhang Yang arrive, Huolingzi said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, I'm busy!"

During this time, Huolingzi had been crafting some strange items according to Zhang Yang's requests.

He still didn't know what those things were for, so he simply followed Zhang Yang's instructions.

He was curious to see what Zhang Yang would eventually come up with.

"Sixth Uncle-Master, you're overthinking. I'm just here to check in and will leave soon!" Zhang Yang cheerfully greeted and turned to leave.

If he didn't supervise these elders, they'd always slack off.

Some tasks could only be accomplished by these two, so he had to oversee them.

Arriving at Brushstroke Peak, Hualingzi was engrossed in inscribing rune patterns with a spiritual brush, not even acknowledging Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang glanced over but didn't interfere and moved on to Biyun Peak.

That was where Bilingzi resided, and now the female cultivators of the Azurecloud Sect were gathered at Biyun Peak. Additionally, the craftsmen borrowed from the Situ family were also stationed there.

These craftsmen were fully engaged in weaving various novel garments according to Zhang Yang's designs, also serving as models.

At this time, Biyun Peak was enveloped by Bilingzi's formation, prohibiting any men from approaching.

Zhang Yang waited outside the formation for a while until Situ Mingyue came out, smiling, "Senior Brother, you can't go in now. They're trying on the clothes you designed."

Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, "How is it? What do you think?"

He was grateful that Situ Mingyue was born into a commercial family, possessing keen business acumen.

Even though she hadn't seen many of the designs before, she could grasp Zhang Yang's intentions. Otherwise, Zhang Yang would have had trouble dealing with a group of women in this aspect.

Situ Mingyue was also excited, "No problem, we've made several sets of each style. Someone will definitely want them."

Zhang Yang nodded vigorously and finally asked, "Are you sure those powerful cultivators have partners, and some even have more than one, right?"

The Azurecloud Sect was full of solitary individuals, making him uncertain.

Others like the King of the South didn't share this commonality.

"Rest assured, even the Saint Master of Langya Sacred Ground has partners and children, so your concern is unnecessary," Situ Mingyue confirmed.

"Then I'm relieved," Zhang Yang nodded. "Junior Sister, urge them to speed up, don't delay."

The entire Azurecloud Sect was bustling with activity.

This hectic state continued for three months.

At this point, there was still a month left until Zhang Yang announced the opening of the Azurecloud Sect's secret realm.

The construction team in Azurecloud Town finally didn't have to work overtime anymore.

Each exhausted team member, upon receiving two hundred spirit stones, was weary but smiling.

These two hundred spirit stones could be exchanged for gold and silver, enough for a happy life.

They could also use the spirit stones to seek a celestial fate for their children, which was very worthwhile.

The construction team withdrew from Azurecloud Town.

At the Azurecloud Sect, Danchenzi, Huolingzi, and Hualingzi were invited to Zhang Yang's villa. The three Divine Soul Stage cultivators, who had been working tirelessly for months, lay on lounge chairs by the pool, leisurely enjoying the breeze and eating fruit, feeling that life was wonderful.

"Wow, I must say, Zhang Yang's place is really comfortable!" Huolingzi marveled.

Hualingzi also sighed, "These rune patterns were drawn by me, and I usually don't notice, but after being exhausted, lying here is truly comfortable."

Danchenzi felt the same and curiously asked, "How many spirit stones will Zhang Yang earn this time?"

This question was also on Hualingzi and Huolingzi's minds.

"This kid has mobilized so much manpower and resources; surely, he'll earn more spirit stones than before, right?" Hualingzi laughed.

"Does that mean millions of spirit stones in revenue?" Huolingzi was astonished.

Although they had earned millions of spirit stones before, most of it was ransom from the Flying Dragon Guard, a rare occurrence.

As for the million spirit stones donated by Situ Mingyue, it was certainly not appropriate to ask her to donate again.

"Once the secret realm opening is over, we'll know the result," Hualingzi concluded.

At this moment, Zhang Yang, accompanied by Lingyunzi, arrived at Azurecloud Town and said to Lingyunzi, "Uncle-Master, we'll need you to oversee Azurecloud Town."

They could only host others in Azurecloud Town unless they were special guests, who would be invited to the Azurecloud Sect.

Lingyunzi, with a serious expression, said, "Have Jiang Zhiqiu come to me if there's anything."

He hadn't been able to help before, but now it was time for his martial prowess to come into play.

Since reaching the Divine Soul Stage, he hadn't had the chance to fight!

Zhang Yang looked at Jiang Zhiqiu beside him, "Junior Brother, your people are already waiting in Azurecloud Town, right? Our Azurecloud Sect must ensure this reception goes well!"

"Senior Brother, rest assured, everything is ready," Jiang Zhiqiu assured.

Just then, a massive flying vessel slowly approached from afar.

Upon reaching Azurecloud Town, the vessel automatically landed outside the town, and the passengers entered Azurecloud Town on foot.

The arrivals were none other than Situ Haonan from the Yunteng Trading Union.

As Situ Haonan approached Azurecloud Town, he saw huge banners outside the town, which read:

"The Bluemoon Trading Guild warmly welcomes all guests to Azurecloud Town!"

"The Azurecloud Guesthouse welcomes everyone to stay!"

"Bailing Pills, you deserve them!"

"Heavenly Talismans, effective with one use!"

"As a woman, who doesn't love lace?"

......

Situ Haonan was dumbfounded. What was the Azurecloud Sect up to? Had they gone to such lengths for promotion?

In all his years in business, he had never seen anyone so shamelessly self-promoting, even putting up such enormous banners!
