Chapter 59: Self-reliance
"Three thousand swords?"
Another friend who was traveling with me grasped this key point.
Fang Ye nodded calmly: "In your career of chivalry, you must have encountered a few great demons who could not be quenched even by a thousand cuts, right?"
This statement does make some sense. Fang Ye has been a hero for many years and has seen countless monsters. It is normal for him to encounter a monster that is extremely evil.
Maybe it’s really because they killed too few demons?
But this doesn't explain why his master would send him that kind of picture, right?
It makes a big difference whether you are targeting a single vicious demon or treating every demon in the same way.
These days everyone is madly testing the edge of demonic possession, and it's really scary that their righteous and world-famous swordsman is doing this.
Fang Ye supported his chin and thought about it seriously.
He really couldn't think of how to defend Teacher Lin.
In the new month, Lin Luo received new photos from Fang Ye.
Fang Ye went to a new place and met new friends.
From the intelligence agency at the foot of the mountain, which is said to be the largest of the righteous, came new news about his chivalrous deeds and punishing evildoers in this new place.
There seemed to be some not-so-good news in the new information. When Lin Luo went to buy the intelligence, the cultivator from the Tianji Pavilion took out a piece of information separately and said that he would have to pay a higher price to sell it to him.
After seeing off the monks from the Hehuan Sect, Lin Luo was out of spirit stones. He took on a mission to exorcise demons and earned some spirit stones. When he came back to ask, the Tianji Pavilion said they would not increase the price.
It was a wasted trip for him. The new information he bought didn't contain much content. It just said that Fang Ye's former friends discovered how much his master hated evil.
When Lin Luo saw the word "Master", he felt a little uncomfortable in his eyes, so he didn't think much about it.
He began to think about the problem of insufficient spirit stones.
Lingxiao Sect's spirit stone mines are sufficient and can support a very large number of cultivators. However, compared with Lingxiao Sect's daily income, the spirit stones distributed by Lingxiao Sect to some people are a bit too much.
If Jiaoxi had sold the magic weapons she refined instead of leaving them in the sect for the Lingxiao Sect monks to choose from, Qifeng would have become very rich. Of course, Qifeng is also quite rich now.
Fu Feng's expenses are not high. The spirit stones earned from a talisman are relatively few compared to a magic weapon, but Fu Feng makes a lot of talismans. Jiao Xi always spends a long time to slowly ponder the magic weapon before finally refining it. Xie Ding ponders while drawing, and sells the useless ones and keeps the good ones. Fu Feng earns a lot of spirit stones by selling waste runes. The way of talismans can be said to be the most profitable way in Lingxiao Sect.
As for Food Peak, it was originally supposed to be called Zhongding Peak, but everyone started calling it Food Peak. Lin Luo now calls it Food Peak and can't change it back. Anyway, Chef Rong of Food Peak will ascend to heaven in a hundred years or so. By then, she will supply a large amount of spiritual energy to Lingxiao Sect. Then Food Peak can be said to be completely self-sufficient. Moreover, Food Peak also produces a lot of delicious food on a normal day, which is a huge contribution to the entire Lingxiao Sect.
Their sword peaks are very different.
Jianfeng has no source of income. Although the practice of swordsmanship does not require any cost, they have to move the magic weapons from Qifeng, steal the talismans from Fufeng, and snatch the vegetables from Shifeng every day, so the expenses are quite high. They also receive monthly money from Lingxiao Sect.
If I stay in Lingxiao Sect, this monthly salary is enough. If I want to go on a long journey, or buy some intelligence from far away, or take on more missions to exorcise demons, it is also enough.
Most of the bounties for exorcising demons and monsters are paid with spirit stones from Lingxiao Sect's spirit stone mine, and the same goes for monthly wages. In short, Jianfeng has been enjoying the resources provided by the other three spirit peaks, and has been draining Lingxiao Sect's capital.
Lin Luo felt that this was not going to work.
He had to think of a way to make Jianfeng self-reliant.
But this method is really hard to think of.
The way to make money in the other three spiritual peaks is actually to make money while practicing. In the end, the cultivation level will increase and the results will be achieved, but the results of sword cultivation cannot be shown.
The results that a sword cultivator can obtain through practice are mainly in the sword cultivator's muscles, and the rest are probably in some dead demons.
If the sword cultivators cut off their own muscles and sell them for money, it would affect their strength, which would be putting the cart before the horse. After all, the purpose of running a sect is to cultivate talented cultivators, and spirit stones should be spent on cultivating the strength of cultivators. This approach will not work.
As for those dead demons, more and more people have been possessed by demons recently. In the current world of cultivation, demons are everywhere, perhaps mainly in the East China Sea. Demon pills and demon cores are worthless. It is impossible to make a fortune with them. It is impossible to use them to make some pocket money. Rong You doesn't even use demon meat when cooking.
After ruling out the only two options, Lin Luo realized that he still hadn't come up with a feasible money-making plan that would allow Jianfeng to be self-sufficient this year.
Maybe he should change his mindset.
Lin Luo no longer pondered whether Jianfeng cultivators could make money through their identity as sword cultivators. Instead, he pondered the feasibility of making money through his identity as the world's number one swordsman.
Previously, the young master of Juntian Sect said that he would give him five sacred peaks, but he had not asked for them yet, as well as many caves, blessed places, and spirit gathering arrays. The young master also wrote him a letter a few days ago, which contained a poem. Lin Luo read it over and over again ten times to make sure that it was really just a poem of praise written to him. The young master was still praising him, so if he asked for the sacred peaks now, the young master would probably not be angry.
Thinking of this, Lin Luo drove the flying boat towards Juntian Sect.
With the blessing of spiritual energy, and without the need to slow down like before when he was carrying children to avoid throwing them out, Lin Luo arrived in Yunjing in just two hours.
He descended from the clouds to Yunjing.
The spiritual peak, the spirit gathering array, the blessed land, and a large number of spirit stones are about to be put into his sleeves!
Lin Luo's heart was filled with pride.
After stopping the flying boat, he suddenly realized that he could directly open the teleportation array without having to drive the flying boat here.
Suddenly flying into Yunjing City on a flying boat at this unusual time would make him look very strange, very special, and very eye-catching.
Because usually people who take large transportation such as flying boats to and from Yunjing will land and register at the city gate.
He forgot to register the last time he came, and he forgot to register again this time. The key is that he can't find where to register.
Lin Luo wanted to find someone to ask where he should go to register. He got off the flying boat and found that the people outside were looking at him with horror.
Lin Luo was so frightened that he suppressed the heroic spirit in his heart.
Oh no, is it such a serious matter to enter the city without registration in Yunjing?
In this situation, he had entered without registering, and looking at the attitudes of the people on the street, he couldn't force anyone to ask where the registration office was.
Wherever Lin Luo looked, there was a large empty area. He hadn't walked a few steps since he got off the flying boat when there was no one to be seen on the street.
Although the current situation is very bad, Lin Luo feels that he should still be able to find out where he needs to register.
He found the place where he landed last time and saw the Qianqiu Pavilion Pharmacy.
Lin Luo stood at the door of the pharmacy, watching the people coming and going, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
After all, it is better to find a way to make everyone self-sufficient and self-fulfilling than to rely on the fancy title of the world's best sword to make money.
No matter how much money the former makes, it is only temporary, and it is not a good thing to let one person bear too much for everyone. The latter, on the other hand, allows everyone to become prosperous together and perhaps even make progress together, which seems very beautiful.
Lin Luo couldn't think of a way to make everyone self-sufficient and self-fulfilling, so he asked others to help him think of it.
This big businessman who was able to move Qianqiu Pavilion from Donghai to Yunjing is very suitable to help him think about it.
The leader of Qianqiu Pavilion must be extraordinary, as he was able to carve out a niche for himself in Yunjing with the limited manpower and resources of Donghai. This person's brain should be much more useful than his.
However, Lin Luo did not know the owner of Qianqiu Pavilion, so he could only seek help in a roundabout way.
He had eaten with a disciple from Qianqiu Pavilion before. He remembered that the disciple seemed to be called An Yiru.
The disciples who will be sent to participate in the Mingzhu Conference should be relatively familiar with the Pavilion Master of Qianqiu Pavilion. Lin Luo thinks that he can go to An Yiru to ask, and perhaps he can get the answer from the Pavilion Master of Qianqiu Pavilion from her.
Lin Luo quickly found An Yiru in Qianqiu Pavilion.
An Yiru looked at him in horror and hugged the pillar beside her tightly.
When Lin Luo walked in front of the pillar, she hid behind it.
Lin Luo was a little confused: "Why are you hugging the pillar?"
Upon hearing this, An Yiru immediately loosened her grip on the pillar. She rubbed her hands, walked out from behind the pillar, and hurriedly bowed to him: "Hello, Senior Lin!"
Lin Luo hummed.
Then he didn't know what to say.
When he was planning it in his mind, he thought this was an easy thing to do. He just needed to ask the children, and he could even give them some candy or something.
Only after he actually walked up to An Yiru did he realize that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
Although they had a very happy meal together before, the child seemed to have put him behind her head after the meal, and now she looked at him with an expression that was completely a stranger.
She had the same expression as those people on the street.
This was very embarrassing, and Lin Luo didn't know how he should deal with this situation.
Or should he let An Yiru continue to hold the pillar? Her legs were shaking like a sieve when she stood like this, and it looked like it would affect her health.
Lin Luo thought for a moment and brought a chair over to An Yiru: "Please sit down first."
An Yiru sat down obediently, with her back straight and her eyes wide open.
She looks very serious. Maybe as a Danxiu, she is also this serious in anatomy class.
Lin Luo felt that he should start asking An Yiru questions.
But he suddenly couldn't figure out how to ask.
He originally wanted to ask An Yiru if he could help them dig out what was worth selling on Jianfeng.
I would also like to ask how to sell it at a good price.
But An Yiru is not a swordsman, so she may not be able to answer the first question. As for the second question, even if An Yiru can give an answer, Lin Luo himself may not understand it.
