As for buying a share of the Nine-star Marketplace, Fang Qingyuan and Lechuan only had a preliminary agreement. This sort of matter was best left to their respective disciples to negotiate first. Typically, once the leaders expressed their intent, their capable subordinates would engage in heated verbal sparring, dragging out the negotiations for a long time. Then, if Fang Qingyuan was satisfied, all he had to do was sign the contract.
In Fang Qingyuan's view, they could certainly acquire the Nine-star Marketplace, but the Qingyuan Sect wouldn't take it all for themselves. It would be best to bring in the Spirit Wood Alliance and the Li Huo Alliance to run it together. Due to the marketplace's geographical location, it was impossible to avoid dealing with these two powers in many respects. Since they couldn't be bypassed, it was better to involve them from the start and avoid any future disputes.
