Chapter 63 Done! Fu Li suppressed her laughter and pulled...
Fu Li suppressed her laughter and pulled Ling Zhuzi forward, one helping to tidy up his hair and the other helping to tidy up his Taoist robe, helping Taiyi Zhenren restore his immortal image as quickly as possible.
Before Taiyi Zhenren could speak, Lingzhuzi said, "Teacher, this peacock's cultivation is quite high. I'm afraid it's not an unknown bird either. Have you ever heard of it?"
His own disciple's initiative to ask for advice immediately made Taiyi Zhenren forget his anger. He twirled his beard and pondered for a moment, then looked at Yuding Zhenren uncertainly: "Senior Brother Yuding, what do you think?"
Jade Ding Zhenren stepped forward to inspect it, focusing on the peacock's tail feathers with their vibrant, five-colored patterns. He nodded and said, "That's the one Junior Brother was thinking of."
Looking across the entire prehistoric world, there is probably only one colorful peacock that looks so standard and has such high cultivation.
Taiyi Zhenren said, "This is the peacock, one of the two sons of Yuanfeng. It is said that Yuanfeng became pregnant, laid two phoenix eggs, and then fell between heaven and earth.
Many years later, two phoenix eggs hatched in the Immortal Volcano in the westernmost part of the world. The first to hatch was a colorful peacock, and the second to hatch was a golden-winged Roc. Neither of them was a phoenix.
As a result, the Feather Tribe refused to serve them as their leader and drove the two young brothers out of the Undying Volcano, where they disappeared for many years.
Fu Li asked, "So, his cultivation level was likely achieved through self-cultivation through inherited memories?"
He was able to become a Daluo Jinxian all by himself. He is also a genius!
Yuanshi Tianzun, standing on the high platform, sneered and said calmly, "You think too highly of me. Tongtian teaches everyone, never caring about the background of the listener. This peacock has changed its form more than once."
Duobao Zhenren nodded in agreement, "That's right. The teacher had noticed him a long time ago, but took pity on his loneliness and admired his ambition, so he pretended to be unaware."
Fu Li glanced at the still unconscious Peacock and said, "Anyone with such a kind heart is no ordinary person."
Certainly not an ordinary person.
This is Kong Xuan, the first person after the second saint after Donghuang Taiyi.
Yuanshi Tianzun ordered Duobao Zhenren: "Take him away and find a quiet room to put him."
They still have important things to do here, and this peacock is not suitable to stay here.
"only."
Duobao Zhenren responded respectfully, waved his wide sleeves to shrink the peacock, and took it away in his palm.
Yuanshi Tianzun motioned Fu Li to come forward and asked her if there was anything else that needed improvement in the network connector.
Fu Li was not polite at all and said bluntly, "There is nothing that needs to be improved on this magic weapon, but there is still one problem that I need to ask the two masters for help."
She stood under the lotus platform, tilted her head back and smiled sweetly. Who could bear to refuse her?
Taoist Taiqing said helplessly, "It was Tongtian who asked us to come here, but now he has gone out to play and left this mess to the two of us."
Fu Li complimented him with a smile: "Those who are capable should work harder. Those who are capable should work harder."
Yuanshi Tianzun didn't like nonsense and asked directly: "Tell me, what else is there?"
If it weren't for his relaxed expression, this no-nonsense attitude would really seem like impatience.
The second-generation disciples who had served under him were a little scared. Zhao Gongming even stepped forward, wanting to ask his own disciple to apologize, but Fu Li pulled him back and signaled with his eyes: "Teacher, what are you doing? Stop making trouble!"
Zhao Gongming suddenly came back to his senses: Oh, Second Uncle is no longer the Second Uncle of the past.
He looked up carefully and saw that Yuanshi Tianzun was frowning slightly, with a half-smile mixed with a bit of amusement that had never been there before. He smiled dryly, shrank his neck and pushed it away.
——I’m used to it, I’m used to it.
Fu Li pretended not to notice her teacher's embarrassment and poured out all her troubles.
"The two Grandmasters know that my disciple's original intention in setting up the internet was to make it easier for our master to do business. Using the internet as a medium and the instruments as a fulcrum, the master can upload pictures and videos of the goods he wants to sell and display them online.
Anyone holding a connector can see these items through the connector and select what they need. After paying, the teleportation array attached to the connector can directly transmit the selected goods."
Although she made such a big fuss just to make it easier to sell things, it was a bit surprising. However, it was not for herself, but for her teacher, which was exactly what Yuanshi Tianzun wanted.
He asked gently, "Do you need something like mortal currency?"
"Master is wise." Fu Li looked at him with admiration, "It's just that we lack a common equivalent as a medium of exchange. Bartering is possible when shopping in person, because the exchanged items can be inspected in person.
However, fraud is much easier over the internet. To avoid future disputes, it would be better to set up a dedicated department from the outset to assess the items they can exchange, convert them into a general equivalent, and then use it to purchase goods."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and asked, "Then what do you think would be a better general equivalent?"
"Of course it's spiritual power."
Fu Li had already pondered this question carefully, so she blurted out, "No matter how good the treasure or elixir is, there's no guarantee that everyone will need it. Only spiritual power, even if you don't particularly like someone, won't be rejected."
Magical weapons and elixirs are good, but they can often lead to trouble.
As the saying goes: A man is innocent until he possesses a treasure. Obtaining an elixir or magical weapon that cannot be kept will only become a death warrant. If one obtains it, they can immediately exchange it for spiritual power suitable for the general public through the platform, indirectly preventing many massacres.
Yuanshi Tianzun understood, nodded slightly, and said, "You need a magic weapon that can store and release spiritual energy at will, and more than one, right?"
When he saw Fu Li nod, he understood.
After a moment's silence, Tianzun said, "The aptitudes of living beings in this world vary. The spiritual power they cultivate each year is also different, and the quality also varies. Since they are generally equivalent, it is natural to find a balance in the stored magic treasures. Am I correct?"
"Master is wise." Fu Li nodded happily.
She really likes talking to smart people, who can not only understand things immediately but also apply them to other situations.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, turned to ask Taiqing Saint: "Brother, what do you think?"
Everyone knows that the three religions of Ren, Chan and Jie are good at elixirs, weapons and formations respectively, but few people know that the Sage Taiqing is proficient in all three.
The Great Clear Saint said, "If we were to produce a large number of magical weapons, it would be too cumbersome. It would be better to create a small formation that can compress spiritual energy and spread this formation throughout the prehistoric world. Whoever needs it will make it himself."
This tedious mechanical movement, relying entirely on one or several people, would tire them out, if not tire them to death. It would be better to distribute the trouble and risk. If there were free formations to learn, those who learned would simply be grateful and not overthink it.
Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes lit up and he praised, "Excellent!" He then asked Fu Li, "What do you think?"
Fu Li of course thought it was great as it could save her a lot of trouble.
Seeing that she had no objection, Taoist Taiqing quickly created a small formation to compress spiritual power.
This formation didn't even require any materials; all that was needed was to draw the formation diagram in the air. The disciples present quickly mastered it, and soon everyone had one or more crystal-clear regular hexahedrons in their hands.
According to the Sage Taiqing, the reason for this shape is that it looks good and is easy to stack.
Fu Li: ...That's fine, I have no objection.
The next step was to mass-produce connectors. This time, Fu Li suggested changing the round cake that was difficult to hold into a flat rectangular shape, and adding a display screen so that it could be operated manually when the spiritual consciousness was exhausted.
In fact, she just missed the mobile phone that she never let go of in her previous life.
This wasn't difficult, Yuanshi Tianzun agreed immediately and modified the one in her hand on the spot. The disciples beside her immediately followed suit and also modified it to look like a real one.
Fu Li was about to express his gratitude when the two saints seemed to sense something and looked up into the void together.
After a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "The Daoist Patriarch has summoned me. My elder brother and I need to go to Zixiao Palace. You can do as you please."
All the disciples respectfully saw the two saints off. Saint Taiqing rode a green ox, and Saint Yuqing also abandoned the Nine Dragon Chariot and rode a five-colored Qilin, flying away surrounded by fairy music.
With the departure of Yuanshi Tianzun, who had suppressed the bloodline of the second-generation disciples, both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Because there were so many people, a wave of noise formed, which surprised Fu Li.
She asked her teacher with amusement: "Teacher, are you really that serious? Master is quite kind."
Zhao Gongming said with lingering fear, "That's now. Twenty thousand years ago, how could Second Uncle-Master be so easy to talk to? You, the third-generation disciples, have arrived at a good time."
Not only did Second Uncle become much calmer, but even Senior Brother Duobao was more doting when he met his younger generation disciples.
Fu Li suppressed her laughter and servilely helped Zhao Gongming sit down. She earnestly massaged his shoulders and back, flattering him, "Teacher, you've worked so hard. You've endured all the hardships your disciple would have endured tens of thousands of years in advance. You truly are the best teacher in the world!"
Zhao Gongming's legs and waist no longer hurt in an instant. He raised his chin and looked around at his fellow disciples with an attitude of looking down on the world.
——See, my disciple is so filial!
Those who don’t have disciples are fine, but Duobao Zhenren and Taiyi Zhenren who have disciples can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Taoist Duobao was used to being steady and composed, and he could still appear calm, but Taoist Taiyi couldn't do that. He coughed pretentiously and glanced at his disciple with a sidelong glance.
Lingzhuzi blinked, showing a slightly exaggerated look of realization, and quickly stepped forward to hold his teacher's hand, helping him sit down on the cushion, and also imitated Fuli to rub his shoulders and beat his back.
"Teacher, is this strength okay?"
"Well, cough, good, good, great!" Taiyi Zhenren stroked his beard reservedly, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Gongming who was sitting opposite him. Even the sneer at the corner of his lips conveyed the same meaning: Humph, what's so great about it, as if everyone doesn't have a disciple?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming ignored him and only talked down to his own disciple: "My dear disciple, there is no need to hit me. Your master would never let you suffer so much. Let's ignore that scholar."
Glancing at Taiyi Zhenren who was gnashing his teeth, Fu Li said helplessly, "Teacher, let's talk about business first." You are so childish that it is difficult for me to deal with you!
Fortunately, Zhao Gongming was willing to listen to her words, so he gave up competing with Taiyi Zhenren and gathered everyone present.
The main business that Fu Li mentioned was naturally to invite everyone to mass-produce network connectors.
"We source the materials from Mount Emei. Once we've made it, we'd like to ask you fellow disciples to help promote it within your respective social circles.
Based on the selling price, for every item you help refine, you'll receive a 30% reward. If you help sell one, you'll get an additional 20%.
"I know that my uncles and uncles will certainly look down on my little spiritual power. But you will have to accept disciples in the future. Even if you don't need it yourself, you should save some money for my future junior brothers and sisters, right?"
For them, refining this pre-designed small magical tool was just a matter of convenience, and they had never considered asking for compensation. When Fu Li offered to pay them, they were quite unhappy, feeling that they were being treated as outsiders.
But Fu Li's last words convinced them.
——Yes, even if you don’t need it, it would be good to give it to your disciples in the future.
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit glanced at her teacher and spoke first, "Since Junior Sister is so kind, I will shamelessly agree. Uncle Senior Sisters, if you don't agree, I will be embarrassed to take it."
Everyone was respectable, so someone had to speak first. As the head of the third generation of disciples, it was perfectly fitting for the Fire Spirit Mother to break the deadlock.
Seeing that everyone agreed one after another, Fu Li and Zhao Gongming looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fuli understands one truth best: free is the most expensive.
Even if they are not paid, they will still help with the refining.
But if you do that, you'll be owing a favor.
Since ancient times, debts of favor are the hardest to repay. How can it be as easy as handing over money and goods?
Besides, the connector is just a medium. Their main purpose in Emeishan is not to develop connectors, but to sell products through connectors.
Those involved in refining receive a 30% commission, and those involved in marketing receive another 20%, for a total of 50%. Adding in the cost of raw materials and the time lost in collecting them, Emeishan makes virtually no profit on the connectors.
However, neither Zhao Gongming nor Fu Li thought that this initial investment was a big deal.
Only by paying high enough rewards can we accumulate small amounts into large ones and motivate everyone.
The real highlights of Mount Emei are all after this.
