Although it was managed by the Palace of Pure Heart, a large portion of the city’s profits had to be given to their main sect, the Four Seas Immortal Palace, and the Palace of Pure Heart’s actual annual income was around five to six hundred high-grade Spirit Stones.

Don’t think this is small, for a Golden Pill level power, this was considered good and could barely sustain the Palace of Pure Heart’s operation.

The main thing was that this was a fixed income, consistent regardless of good or bad crops, ensuring a steady supply of resources.

When Nangong Suyi first built this city, she spent a lot, but its existence allowed the Palace of Pure Heart to stand for hundreds of years.

However, a single city alone was not enough to sustain the entire Palace of Pure Heart. If the disciples of the palace wanted more resources, they had to work hard on their own.

The Cultivation Realm on the islands was different from the mainland, they couldn’t plant cultivation resources on a large scale due to limited land area.

But this did not mean they were helpless. While they couldn’t grow resources on the island, they could in the sea, moreover, marine aquaculture was also possible.

As far as Xu Mu knew, the Palace of Pure Heart had at least three large-scale marine aquaculture farms. The spiritual fish produced there could not only be eaten directly but also used for Alchemy, and the fish scales, bones, and eyes could be used to produce Magic Artifacts and Talismans.

These fish farms also functioned as a significant source of income for the Palace of Pure Heart as they could provide numerous Spirit Stones each year.

Among the tasks assigned to the Disciples of Su Xin Palace, guarding the fish farms was included.

Apart from this, the disciples of the Palace of Pure Heart themselves had developed secondary occupations. They dabbled in and inherited various immortal arts such as making talismans, practicing alchemy, refining tools, and formations.

The medical skills Xu Tiantian learned were among these.

However, what the Palace of Pure Heart was best at was making talismans. It was just a pity that the Palace Master Mo Wuxin, as well as Xu Mu, the strongest individual in the Palace of Pure Heart, didn’t dabble much in talismans, while Nangong Suyi was quite proficient in talisman making. After all, when Xu Mu first became her apprentice, she had given him several high-tier talismans.

Even the name of the Palace of Pure heart was directly related to talisman making, it’s not just a random name made up by Nangong Suyi in a rush.

In the sea area near the Palace of Pure Heart, a large amount of a low-tier spiritual herb called Suxin Grass grew. This herb had no medicinal value and couldn’t be used directly, but it was a prime material for making talisman paper.

Not only did the Palace of Pure Heart utilize it, but every year many external cultivators would also come here to collect Suxin Grass.

Perhaps it was due to the existence of Suxin Grass that Nangong Suyi decided to establish the Palace of Pure Heart here.

Because of their proficiency in talisman making and the convenience of having Suxin Grass, the reputation of Suxin City in the talisman making field was not small.

Each year’s trades comprised mostly of talismans, taking up at least 40% of the transactions.

The number of talisman makers in Suxin City was also unparalleled.

Entering the city, Xu Mu thought of how this city had been personally built by Nangong Suyi and couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

Because it was currently the Suxin Grass harvesting season, there were a lot of people in the city. It was bustling, and one could distinctly smell a salty, damp, sea-grass scent — the scent of Suxin Grass.

Xu Mu was in no hurry to find Xu Tiantian, so he entered a wine shop and sat there eating and listening to the idle chatter of the nearby people.

After cultivating all day, it was just appropriate to find a chance to relax.

“In recent years, the Palace of Pure Heart seems less and less interested in purchasing Suxin Grass, do you think something happened to them?”

A man with shaggy hair and dark skin complained with some dissatisfaction.

“What are you talking about here? If you let the city’s law enforcement team hear you, do you want to die?”

An old man with many wrinkles on his face spoke up.

“I’m just speaking casually, it’s not that serious. Besides, everyone in the city is saying it, even if they wanted to control it they couldn’t,” replied the dark-skinned man nonchalantly.

The regions managed by the Four Seas Immortal Palace were generally known for their looseness, especially regarding speech. Unless you were to curse loudly like a shrew in the street, few people would notice.

“Brother Wei, you believe in those passively heard rumors too!”

A robust woman, who although had wrinkles at her eyes, spoke with a chuckle.

“Then you tell me what’s going on? If nothing was wrong, why would they pass this opportunity to earn easy money?” The dark-skinned man retorted scornfully.

“Why not? Of course, because they look down upon it.” The woman laughed.

“Look down on it? Why?” The dark-skinned man asked puzzled.

“Of course, it’s because the profit is too small. It’s a grand deal in our eyes, but probably just a leftover in their eyes. You might not know, but there is another person in the Palace of Pure Heart who advanced to Golden Pill!” The woman spoke mysteriously.

“Another one!” The dark-skinned man widened his eyes, calculating in his heart, exclaimed in disbelief, “This should be the third one, right? Three Golden Pill realm cultivators in one hundred years, it seems like the Palace of Pure Heart is indeed rising! Those rumors are really not reliable after all!”

The dark-skinned man shook his head helplessly.

The reason why he spoke ill of the Palace of Pure Heart was not because he thought it was declining, but purely out of complaint.

Because the Palace of Pure Heart stopped buying Suxin Grass, resulting in a significant price drop, and naturally, the income of these low-level cultivators also dropped. Unhappy with the situation, he started to gossip.

When Nangong Suyi established the Palace of Pure Heart, she was focused on cultivation and did not put too much thought into its management. As a result, the Palace of Pure Heart was barely hanging on, completely relying on her efforts.

Later, after a lot of struggle, they finally cultivated Mo Wuxin, but due to her bodily conditions, she could not advance further for a long time.

That was when negative rumors about the Palace of Pure Heart began. The outside world never saw the Palace of Pure Heart in a positive light, and all sorts of undermining rumors never stopped.

If it were not for the sudden appearance of Xu Mu, the Palace of Pure Heart might have already become obsolete.

There was even a time when someone tried to switch places secretly, trying to take Nangong Suyi’s position and snatch the foundation of the Palace of Pure Heart.

Later, although Mo Wuxin finally advanced to the Golden Pill realm at the last moment, the outside world still held a pessimistic view, thinking that she had forcefully advanced and that the Palace of Pure Heart was barely hanging on.

Originally, after Mo Wuxin advanced to the Golden Pill realm, as long as they restructured readily for some time, their reputation would have gradually improved.

However, on one hand, some people in the outside world did not want to see them get better because if the Palace of Pure Heart improved, then they would have had no chance to seize its foundation. They found opportunities only when the Palace of Pure Heart was on the verge of collapsing. So they consistently spread bad news about the Palace of Pure Heart and even discreetly sabotaged it.

Besides, there was another essential reason.

That was because, at that time, Xu Mu had just opened up the trade channel between the Palace of Pure Heart and the Outer Sea, giving the Palace of Pure Heart a better way to make money.

But this channel was a bit illegal, and to avoid attracting too much attention, Mo Wuxin too concealed her abilities and played dumb.

As a result, the outside world thought even more that the Palace of Pure Heart was declining.

This situation only slightly improved thirty years ago when the Palace of Pure Heart produced another Golden Pill cultivator.

This new Golden Pill cultivator was Mo Wuxin’s martial sister named Li Ping’er, whose personality was even colder than Mo Wuxin’s, she was genuinely an exterminating master.

Xu Mu also knew her, but they were not close, and could only be considered acquaintances.

The one currently residing in Suxin City was Li Ping’er, known as the Grand Elder of the Palace of Pure Heart.

Furthermore, the third Golden Pill cultivator they were talking about was most likely Feng Luan who had just advanced.
