The Penglai Chamber of Commerce now has shops that are completely spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
The number of spirit stones that come in and go every day is astronomical.
In the cultivation world, there are thousands of level eight sects, tens of thousands of level seven sects, and nearly one hundred thousand level six sects.
In addition to those ten thousand-plus levels,
All of these materials are controlled by the Penglai Sect. It can be said that the Penglai Sect has seized control over the pricing power of all kinds of spiritual materials in the entire cultivation world.
If it weren't for the fact that large sects don't sell small, scattered items at their branches, other merchant guilds would probably have no way to survive.
However, the mobilization of funds from all sides is now becoming increasingly difficult.
No matter how fast the delivery is, opening a store always requires stocking up on inventory.
Moreover, once the reputation of the Penglai shops spread, people flocked to them to buy their goods.
If they chose to drastically lower the purchase price, this difficulty would naturally be resolved. However, Penglai Sect is currently building its reputation and developing rapidly. Doing so would undoubtedly be tying its own hands.
"Smart Brain! Calculate the optimal solution!"
At Ma Qiling's command, the AI began calculating rapidly while simultaneously coordinating and scheduling operations.
Less than three breaths later, the brain arrived at the optimal solution.
"Sell all the non-monster goods we previously stockpiled at low profit!"
There are many more that aren't demonic beasts.
Magical artifacts, elixirs, spiritual herbs...
Now, with large numbers of sea beasts driven away by evil beasts, thanks to the operations of the Penglai Merchant Guild, goods related to these beasts can be purchased at low prices throughout the continent.
However, everything in the universe is interconnected, and the prices of other goods actually increased somewhat.
If we choose to further reduce this portion of the profit, we can definitely recover a large amount of funds quickly.
"Okay! Let's arrange it this way!"
Just as Ma Qiling gave the order, the voice of the supercomputer rang out again.
"Level 1 instruction received: Readjust!"
"Adjust our strategy, reduce the profit margin for all goods to one percent, and strive for rapid operation!"
Ma Qiling was shocked and immediately stopped him.
"Pause order issued!"
With a profit margin of only one percent, how do you calculate the expenses in between? Wouldn't that mean you've worked for nothing?
If other chambers of commerce were to deliberately hoard goods, Penglai would likely go bankrupt immediately.
"Spirit Brain 1.0, I hereby command you with Level 2 privileges to perform a self-check and recalculate, making sure to take into account the teleportation fee of one hundred high-grade spirit stones, the maintenance fees for the major sects, and the contribution rewards for hiring core disciples and shopkeepers!"
The AI quickly responded to Ma Qiling's command.
"This order is not to be executed! All orders must be executed according to the first-level command!"
Level 1... command?
Just as Ma Qiling was thinking of Ye Feng, he walked in with Qianqian, who was dressed in white.
"No need for self-checking, I issued the order!"
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
Upon seeing Ye Feng enter, everyone stood up and bowed.
Ye Feng nodded to everyone and continued giving instructions.
"Execute the instructions I just gave!"
This time, Ma Qiling didn't stop him, but she still walked up to Ye Feng.
"My lord, if we disregard those factors, although it can accelerate the flow of goods and recover funds, the sect's spirit stones probably won't last for many rounds of buying and selling..."
Ye Feng smiled slightly.
"Don't worry about spirit stones, your ancestor... has found a rich mine! Haha..."
Everyone laughed as they watched Ye Feng, but what came to mind was...
Rich woman?
No, it's a rich mine...
Although Ye Feng described it as a rich mine, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Qianqian standing next to him.
Ye Feng's laughter faltered, and he turned to look at Qianqian, who had a smug expression on her face.
Strictly speaking, this way of thinking isn't wrong...
"Where did Xuan'er and the others go? I urgently need help."
"With the Spirit Brain in charge, the ladies and the sect leader have all gone to the Five Elements Sect to cultivate."
Ye Feng nodded. No wonder he hadn't found anyone here.
He urgently needed manpower to activate numerous teleportation points within the Xuan Ying Temple, so he didn't linger any longer.
He offered a few words of encouragement to everyone, then left behind spirit stones worth tens of thousands of immortal stones before departing.
Within the Five Elements Sect, nearly a million disciples with the five elemental spiritual roots have almost all completed their "rehabilitation training" and have begun practicing swordsmanship to strengthen their bodies.
It possesses extraordinary cultivation techniques, coupled with countless spiritual waters and fruits.
In addition, the Five Elements Technique contributed by Ye Feng,
These disciples will surely reach the Foundation Establishment stage very soon.
The Five Elements Technique not only possesses the magical effects of the Elemental Array Technique, but also gathers all spiritual root points, resulting in a cultivation speed far exceeding that of ordinary single or dual spiritual roots.
When Ye Feng arrived, all eleven of his brothers and sisters were there.
The transmission of cultivation techniques naturally couldn't be done with unskilled disciples present. Each of the several fellow disciples had to look after nearly 100,000 people, which was quite painstaking. Their divine senses were constantly activated, and they dared not relax for a moment.
It's truly unbearable...
Ye Feng had originally planned to just say hello and go inside to find someone.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yongcheng stopped him.
"Immortal Venerable Ye, these past few days, the sect tokens... have been fine, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on things!"
Actually, he only checks on it every three days... Of course, apart from someone as extraordinary as Wugensheng, probably no one else can handle the offense and defense he resets.
"If you're alright, Senior Brother, I'll go find my wife now!"
On the other side, Qin Rou looked at him repeatedly, and Ye Feng also felt immense pressure.
After keeping him hooked for so long, all he got was neither companionship nor pampering, and he barely even exchanged a few words with him...
He simply has too many things to do and doesn't have the energy to think about that much.
"Hey, hey... don't rush off, what's up?"
"Senior brother, please speak!"
Ye Feng patiently waited for Zhou Yongcheng to speak.
Now that everyone in the Penglai Sect is under his protection, Ye Feng has no worries about the future.
Besides, he was a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, and the sect's token had been handed over to him, so he still had to make time for it.
“Look...didn’t you say before that your Penglai Chamber of Commerce needed people?...Now these disciples have almost all entered the basics of cultivation, do you think we should find someone to hand over the reins?”
Haha... So it turns out it couldn't take it anymore!
Ye Feng chuckled inwardly.
These eleven people are responsible for over a million people; it's truly exhausting for them...
After Ye Feng laughed, his gaze turned serious.
Isn't the purpose of our return to see people?
Isn't this just a human being?
The Xuan Ying Divine Palace doesn't require cultivation level; Qi Refining disciples are perfect for it!
"Alright! Senior brother, let's proceed with the handover... However, let's change the order of choosing people; I need to choose first!"
"However, you can give me a list of a hundred people, but I won't choose the most talented ones!"
