White Iron Island Marketplace.
In a pavilion.
Several jade scrolls were laid out before Qi Zisheng.
His Divine Sense surged as his thoughts accelerated, absorbing the information within the scrolls and tallying the marketplace's recent profits.
"Heh... Not bad at all!"
As he finished his calculations, a look of delight spread across Qi Zisheng's face.
"Compared to last month, the profits from the White Iron Island Marketplace have grown by another thirty percent..."
"At this rate, even after deducting the costs for the Array's maintenance and hiring outside Foundation Establishment cultivators..."
"...it will only take a little over a year to gather the twenty thousand Spirit Stones needed to buy back the island's sovereignty!"
"By then, we'll have recouped our costs and can start enjoying pure profit!"
Qi Zisheng's face was flushed with excitement as he spoke.
'When that time comes, maybe I can afford a breakthrough pill for the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm?'
