Three hours before setting up the stall.
"What? Is this the spiritual weapon that you and Shuangshuang made?" Wang Taiping and the others all looked incredulous.
On the table was the dagger that he had made during his previous vacation, with two first-grade spiritual formations attached to it.
Chen Zhong scratched his head and laughed, "It's all because of Shuangshuang's skill. I was just an assistant the whole time, but luckily, I managed to pull it off."
Zhou Chaoyin played with it, inputting spiritual power, and with a casual wave of his hand, the penetration array and the scorching array were activated. The sharp and scorching invisible energy instantly penetrated the blade, cutting the chair in front of him, and the cut surface was burned black.
He put it down, his eyes gleaming, "So powerful! Do you have the ability to continue refining?"
Chen Zhong was silent for a long time, then replied in a noncommittal tone, "We should be able to make one or two pieces a week. If we can find more spiritual formation masters and spiritual weapon masters in the future, I can pass on my experience to them, and we can achieve mass production."
"That's great. You are now the economic pillar of Shangshanmen!" A smile appeared on Tang Sui's cheek.
"Then what's a suitable price? I see that Baizhan Hall's first-grade spiritual weapon with an array is only worth two hundred spirit stones?" Lin Yuan asked silently.
This really stumped everyone. If it was lower than Baizhan Hall, they would definitely continue to make losses. If it was higher than theirs, they would still be dragged down if the production capacity could not be increased.
Chen Zhong smiled and said, "Our first-grade spiritual weapon with a formation attached... is priced at four hundred!"
"Ah ha?" Wang Taiping said in surprise.
"Is this suitable?" Tang Sui was very worried. "Will it cause unsaleable products?"
"I still think it's too low," Chen Zhong picked up the dagger and stroked it. "I've seen the Hundred Battles Hall's array-attached spiritual weapon, and its quality is only one-tenth of ours. Since they've opened the market to mid- and low-level students, we should set our sights higher and target the students on the Monster Ranking!"
"As the saying goes, it's better to have nothing than to have something inferior. When shoddy products are rampant in the market, our high-quality products are suddenly released. It's a perfect opportunity to make a name for ourselves! If we successfully break open the door to high-end products, we can also launch private customization, specifically for juniors and seniors, to refine second-grade or even third-grade spiritual artifacts with arrays. In the long run, Bai Zhan Tang's so-called cheap advantage will be reduced. When our production capacity is sufficient, those middle and low-level students will also be able to purchase them through savings or discounts, thus completely destroying Bai Zhan Tang's spiritual artifact industry with arrays."
"However, all of this must be done cautiously. When it's time to strike with lightning speed, we must do it all at once, leaving no room for maneuver, leaving them no chance of survival, and eradicating them completely!"
Including Zhou Chaoyin, more than a dozen members of Shangshanmen were stunned. They rubbed their stiff faces for a long time and were amazed.
Only Jia Shuangshuang was used to it and yawned cutely.
Zhou Chaoyin patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Great! Listening to your words is worth more than reading for ten years."
Chen Zhong? ? ?
You are the young city lord after all, can you please not speak so casually?
Wang Taiping was filled with emotion. "I never thought there was such a shrewd and experienced business veteran hiding by my side. I really admire you!"
Lin Yuan muttered to himself, "As expected of Chen Zhong, he's so thoughtful and analytical... It seems he really was trying to enlighten me. His mindset is truly as kind as water, and his virtue carries all things!"
Tang Sui covered her mouth with her hands, unable to hide the strange look in her eyes, "Then how do we get on the list of evildoers? How do we attract their attention?"
Chen Zhong took a sip of water. "Of course it has the approval of official organizations. Rather than wasting time on propaganda, a single word from someone would be more convincing."
"What does that mean?" someone asked.
Chen Zhong continued, "After observing the Free Exchange these past few days, I've noticed many members of the Spiritual Array Study Group coming and going. They're primarily interested in talismans, spirit array scrolls, or materials. The talismans I've refined should be able to attract their attention. Using the talismans as a starting point, I can then introduce spirit artifacts with array attachments. After their observation and approval, I think the rest of the group won't find much to complain about."
"Spiritual formation study session?!" Several people were surprised.
The Spiritual Array Study Club is a force that was born when the academy was founded. Its founders are several fifth-grade spiritual array masters. It is directly under the official and is the most orthodox and powerful spiritual array master force in the academy. Huoshan's spiritual array club is just a kid in front of it.
If they say they are second in the college, no one dares to claim to be first, at most they are tied.
"Then how should we set up the stall? Where should we put it?" For a moment, everyone was at a loss and relied entirely on Chen Zhong.
Unconsciously, the center of gravity of Shangshanmen gradually shifted.
"In the lobby on the second floor, not far from the stairs, there's an area dedicated to selling spiritual formation materials. Anyone who's attending the spiritual formation study session will definitely pass by us."
"If one day doesn't work, then two days will. Don't be impatient. Don't try to show off. That would be too ostentatious and cheap. The members of the Spiritual Formation Study Group are all proud and self-respecting. Only by being low-key yet retaining substance can you catch their eye. Remember to place the talisman in the most conspicuous position. Also, don't say unnecessary nonsense. Just rely on the help of the people around you."
Chen Zhongyi finished speaking a bunch of words in one breath, took a slight breath, and then he realized that more than a dozen people had become dull puppets, looking at him as if he were a monster.
"What I said...isn't detailed enough? Is there a mistake somewhere?" Chen Zhong recalled his logic. It didn't seem to be a big problem. It all depended on how to implement it and how to adapt to the situation.
"No, no, no! Very appropriate!" Wang Taiping swallowed his saliva, vaguely feeling that it was a wise thing for him to pay attention to Chen Zhong in the beginning.
Chen Zhong smiled bitterly, "I've been thinking about this for several days. I'm an average person, not good at cultivation, and my spiritual array is only half a basket of jingle bells. This time I also want to contribute a little to everyone, so I've been thinking hard for several nights, but I don't know if it will work."
"That's awesome!" Wang Taiping praised.
Tang Sui even excitedly gave Chen Zhong a friendly hug, "You are really amazing!"
Someone behind was so jealous that she was pouting with her lips and her short hair was shaking.
You are a girl, how can you just tell a boy you are awesome! And the guy is Chen Zhong!
Humph! (Old driver Jia Shuangshuang's inner monologue)
…
Time goes back.
Free exchange.
"A spiritual weapon with an array?!" The spiritual array master exclaimed in shock. With those extraordinary spiritual talismans in front of him, he had to take this spiritual weapon with an array of unknown origin seriously.
The crowd of onlookers was directly ignited.
The words and actions of this member of the Spiritual Array Study Group are still vivid in my mind. I don't even need to explain it to know that the Shangshan Sect is quite famous.
Could it be that... they can really produce a magic weapon with an array?
Of course, Chen Zhong would not do the highly anticipated unboxing event himself, so he would try to minimize the attention as much as possible.
Tang Sui, one of the most beautiful girls, took the box, smiled refreshingly, and slowly opened it.
A spiritual weapon, a military knife, was quietly placed in it. It was smooth and shiny all over, and every curve was perfect for holding in the hand. The key was the spiritual array patterns on it that flowed as smoothly as water, as if it were natural.
"This... is a top-grade, first-grade spiritual weapon with an array!"
Under the incredulous and bewildered gazes of the crowd, the members of the seminar trembled and took the sabers as if they were receiving an imperial decree.
