Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

130: Lingshan directionIn Qingyun City, a spirit boat slowly descended.

It was Lin Shiming and others who had traveled a long distance. After putting away the spirit boat, they walked towards the city gate.

The city gate was even livelier than usual, especially with a particularly large number of Cultivators setting up stalls. It’s worth noting that more than ten years ago, Lin Shiming had also visited Qingyun City for the Qingyun Conference, but this current Qingyun Conference was far grander and livelier than the previous one.

Moreover, many Cultivators from other states had also come. Just by seeing the number of people wearing storage bracelets, it was clear that many from within the Spirit Beast Sect’s territory had also arrived.

The previous Qingyun Conference was hosted by a single sect, while this one was jointly hosted by the Three Sects.

Just the prestige of the Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect was enough to make all the Cultivators from the four states under the Qingxuan Sect unable to suppress their excitement.

Lin Shiyi’s expression at this moment was exactly that. It was his first time participating in the Qingxuan Assembly in Qingxuan City. Unlike Lin Yuzheng, who was well-versed in the Jianghu, his eyes almost wanted to rush into the Loose Cultivator area to hunt for treasures.

He hoped that he could also find a third-order Yao Beast larva, just like Lin Shiming.

”Second Brother, these outside stalls are for Cultivators who are reluctant to enter the city!” Lin Shiming said with a somewhat wry smile. Lin Shiyi then gave an honest smile, rubbed the back of his head, and said nothing, but his gaze immediately became much more restrained.

The group entered the city gate as usual. However, upon entering, they felt a majestic aura of prestige emanating from the city gate.

Their hearts immediately trembled. Lin Shiming looked up with some surprise, only to find that the three characters for Qingyun City were extraordinary.

He took a glance and felt a sharp pain in his eyes, as a piercing Sword Qi descended from the Nine Heavens.

He quickly averted his gaze and reminded the others:

”Don’t look at the Qingyun City plaque!”

However, his reminder was clearly too late. Everyone else was drenched in sweat, as if they had just experienced a great battle. The lingering apprehension in their eyes refused to dissipate.

”This should be to deter petty criminals!” Lin Shiming thought to himself. These three characters were clearly recently added, and he couldn’t help but think of the Li Family.

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

The group no longer looked at the plaque, queued up, and entered. It was still ten Spirit Stones per person, for a total of fifty Spirit Stones.

”Let’s go to Laiyue Restaurant!” Lin Shiming said.

That was the place he was most familiar with; his idea for Spirit Cuisine had originated there.

Laiyue Restaurant was still luxuriously decorated, and Cultivators came and went in an endless stream.

Laiyue Restaurant had three floors. The sheer volume of people and the cultivation levels of the Cultivators made everyone take notice, especially Lin Houwei, Lin Shiyi, and Lin Houxuan. They had previously thought that their restaurant in Xing County was quite extravagant and that the number of Cultivators was something to be proud of, but after seeing Laiyue Restaurant, they realized that the Lin Family still had a long way to go.

”Senior, do you have a reservation?” The Middle Stage Qi Refining attendant, as always, greeted them with a bow.

”No, open a private room on the second floor, and prepare five additional rooms!”

”Alright, Senior, please come this way!”

Lin Shiming, familiar with the place, led everyone to the second floor and chose a private room. They ordered a meal of Spirit Cuisine. As expected, Laiyue Restaurant now offered Spirit Fish Spirit Cuisine.

What surprised him was that Red Spirit Fish Spirit Cuisine was the lowest grade at Laiyue Restaurant; the highest grade Spirit Fish Spirit Cuisine was already a Low Grade third-order Spirit Fish dish.

”Fifth Grandfather, how has our Lin Family Restaurant in Xing County been recently?” Lin Shiming asked Lin Yuzheng, who was beside him, while eating.

Unlike Lin Shiyi and Lin Houwei, he was now the Lin Family Head, so he naturally had many more things to consider.

Lin Yuzheng immediately understood Lin Shiming’s question and smiled slightly:

”Family Head, currently Lin Family Restaurant mainly sells qing ling wine and monkey wine. For Spirit Cuisine, we offer Spirit Fish Spirit Cuisine and ordinary Spirit Meat dishes. The monthly net income in Spirit Stones is between 200 and 300 Spirit Stones!”

”Fifth Grandfather, I have a suggestion. In terms of Spirit Cuisine, our Lin Family can no longer be limited to Spirit Fish dishes and Spirit Meat dishes. We must introduce new Spirit Cuisine. For meat, Spirit Snake dishes, Spirit Shrimp dishes, and Spirit Turtle dishes all need to be researched! As long as they are aquatic Spirit Beasts that are not aggressive, they can be raised in captivity. Green Lotus Lake currently does not lack Spiritual Qi.”

Lin Shiming spoke with certainty. The Family still had a Fourth-Order Spirit Vein within the Spirit Seeking Compass that hadn’t been released, so the Lin Family could fully develop the Spirit Cuisine industry.

”Additionally, the Family’s Lin Family Restaurant will also need to be able to provide rooms with Formations in the future, for Cultivators to rest and recuperate.”

”Yes, Family Head!” Lin Yuzheng was also a business Genius, understanding immediately. The reason he hadn’t thought of it before was simply because he had primarily managed the caravan and focused more on the Family Head’s Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

But at this moment, seeing how popular Laiyue Restaurant was, he immediately understood the huge profits in this area, and it could also provide some Formation practice for the Family’s newly established Formation Hall.

It’s worth noting that the Auction held by the Lin Family now, due to its policy of reducing Spirit Stones, was quite well-known among the Loose Cultivators in Yunzhou.

”Also, the restaurant must implement a VIP system. As long as a Cultivator stays for three days at once, they will be given a VIP card in the future, which grants a 20% discount on all Spirit Cuisine in the restaurant!” Lin Shiming spoke again.

At the same time, this was his most crucial point. He had implemented this at the Auction, but he was afraid Lin Yuzheng wouldn’t understand, so he only proposed this idea after being stimulated by Laiyue Restaurant’s revenue.

Sure enough, Lin Yuzheng was stunned for a moment. It’s worth noting that the profits of the Family’s Lin Family Restaurant were not ridiculously high. The breeding, capture, slaughter, and pairing of Spirit Fish all required the time of the Family’s Cultivators, and the profit was only 30-40%. Taking away 20% was almost taking away half.

However, he then thought of the Auction. It was Lin Shiming who had initially proposed the concept of repeat consumption. Connecting this with Laiyue Restaurant’s popularity, his eyes suddenly lit up.

”This is a great idea!”

As long as Cultivators stay in the Market for a long time, their consumption will be high. Most importantly, the Market will have high popularity!

High popularity in the Market will inevitably attract new Loose Cultivators. And now the Lin Family already has five Foundation Establishment Cultivators. With Lin Shijie and Lin Houyuan taking turns guarding Xing County, there’s no need to worry about chaos.

Moreover, the Lin Family’s VIP system was already somewhat famous in Yunzhou because of the Auction.

Especially after Qingyun City suffered a Spirit Beast tide, many Cultivators still felt lingering fear and dared not venture deep into the Qingyun Mountain Range. Relatively speaking, the Xing County Market, which was a bit further out, was thriving under the leadership of the Lin Family.

”Family Head, we will implement this as soon as we return!” Lin Yuzheng nodded, his eyes full of approval, a bit distracted even from eating the Spirit Cuisine.

He took only one sip of wine and then continued to implement the plan there.

Lin Shiming proposed the concept and direction. As for the specific discount percentage and how to offer it, that would naturally be decided by Lin Yuzheng and others.

After finishing the Spirit Cuisine meal, everyone returned to their rooms. At the same time, Lin Shiming also announced that they would have seven days of free activity, and then they would all participate in the Qingxuan Auction together.
