The new Marketplace couldn't be built at the foot of Yuanling Mountain. Marketplaces drew huge, complex crowds, so for safety, it needed to be separated from Yuanling Mountain by a distance of seven to eight li.
In the Cultivation Realm, Marketplaces were almost always built on their own empty plots of land. This made them easier to plan and was also for the sake of security.
As for a Marketplace built within one's own sect gates, enemies would be able to enter the heart of your territory. If they harbored malicious intent, the Mountain Protection Array would become meaningless.
In recent days, Fang Qingyuan had found a plot of land near Yuanling Mountain and planned to start by building two short, intersecting streets.
There was no need to build everything at once for the Marketplace's initial phase. He would start with two streets and expand later in a second phase according to its development.
