Chapter 223: Jiao Xiuyuan's Advice
"How many?" Li Fan's clone's eyes flashed.
"Haha, could it be that fellow Daoist has cleaned out the entire ruins of the Medicine King Sect?"
Jiao Xiuyuan said cheerfully, "No, I was just lucky and happened to dig up the remains of a workshop. Although most of them were discarded and unusable defective products, I also found 28 intact small tripods."
"Twenty-eight?" Li Fan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there would be so many Small Medicine King Cauldrons?
This number was far beyond his expectations.
Recalling the scene in his twelfth life when he was being hunted down because of the two small medicine king tripods in his storage ring, Li Fan fell into deep thought.
The Nascent Soul cultivator locked onto his position directly. Apparently, he was able to sense the presence of the Small Medicine King Cauldron through some method.
It could be some secret method, or it could be because he also possesses the Small Medicine King Cauldron.
The reason for fighting for the Small Medicine King Cauldron is obviously because the real Medicine King Cauldron has returned.
"The opportunity in the Medicine King Cauldron must be closely related to these small cauldrons that also belong to the Medicine King Sect."
"I was being hunted down at the time, and I'm afraid it was just a scene in the tragic drama of the struggle."
"However, for me in this world, the more of these small Medicine King Cauldrons I have, the better!"
His thoughts raced, and Li Fan made a plan in an instant.
Then he continued what Jiao Xiuyuan said and replied: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Jiao is really lucky."
"But I don't need so many small tripods. Two are enough for regular planting. Buying two more as backup will be more than enough!"
Jiao Xiuyuan said quickly: "Fellow Daoist, what you said is wrong. I have appraised this small Medicine King Cauldron. It is indeed a magical instrument of an ancient sect, and it is very effective. The effect of cultivating spiritual plants is far beyond the comparison of these crudely made magical instruments nowadays. Not to mention that they have a long history and have..."
Li Fan interrupted Jiao Xiuyuan with a smile: "Haha, Daoyou and I have been through thick and thin together. Let's be frank. Daoyou is worried that the price of herbs is too low now and these small medicine king cauldrons will be difficult to sell, so you are trying your best to persuade me to buy more."
Jiao Xiuyuan didn't expect Li Fan to be so direct, so he laughed it off to hide his embarrassment.
Just as he was about to explain, he heard Li Fan say, "Don't worry, Daoist friend. Since I asked you to find this Little Medicine King Cauldron, I will naturally not let you lose money."
"In my opinion, it is not difficult to sell these small tripods for a hundred times or even a thousand times the price!"
The tone was arrogant, yet very confident.
Jiao Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this: "I'd like to hear your opinion."
Li Fan smiled slightly: "Daoyou, you must know that the price of a commodity actually has little to do with its own value."
"How much a commodity can ultimately be sold for depends solely on how much the buyer is willing to pay."
"Take these small Medicine King Cauldrons for example. If they were simply used as magical instruments to cultivate spiritual plants, then no matter how much Daoist friends boasted about their benefits, the price of more than a thousand contribution points would have already reached its limit."
"Do you agree with me, fellow Taoist?"
Jiao Xiuyuan nodded slowly: "That's right. More than a thousand contribution points is still an overestimation by fellow Daoist. In the case of the collective collapse of the herbal medicine market, it is considered lucky to be able to sell one with 500 or 600 contribution points."
"So, if you want to sell the Small Medicine King Cauldron at a high price, you have to tap into other values in them..." Li Fan said slowly in a gloomy tone.
"Other values?" Jiao Xiuyuan was stunned. "These small tripods have no other uses, right?"
"Haha, if they have no value, then create value for them." Li Fan said in a firm voice.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know about the past when Liu Ruchen from the Medicine King Sect used the tripod as a boat and led all the members of the Medicine King Sect to fly away into the air?" Li Fan asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan nodded: "Of course I know about this..."
Then he reacted, his tone was very surprised: "Daoyou means..."
Li Fan laughed: "If the Medicine King Cauldron has been wandering in the outside world for thousands of years, it will soon return to the Xuanhuang Realm. Only those who possess the Small Medicine King Cauldron can enter it..."
"Fellow Daoist, what do you think the price of this small Medicine King Cauldron is?"
Jiao Xiuyuan thought about it, and his tone suddenly became a little excited: "If this is true, it involves the secrets of the ancient sect before the catastrophe came."
"The price of the Small Medicine King Cauldron is really hard to estimate. If the price is 100,000 contribution points per piece, there must be a lot of cultivators willing to buy it."
Li Fan immediately said: "That's it!"
Jiao Xiuyuan thought about it and felt something was wrong: "Isn't this a lie? This is not in line with my business ethics?!"
"Besides, these monks are all very shrewd and ruthless. It's impossible that they would believe whatever I say."
Li Fan chuckled and said slowly: "It depends on how you operate. As the saying goes, if you repeat a lie thousands of times, someone will take it as the truth."
"Then use a large sum of money to bribe a few experts in deduction and release the news."
"It's impossible for others not to believe it."
"As for lying, haha..." Li Fan suddenly sneered.
"The so-called transaction is that you buy and I sell, and we both agree. Besides, the return of the Medicine King True Cauldron is not necessarily false news!"
"There is indeed a slight chance that the Medicine King True Cauldron that flew away in the past will return to the Xuanhuang Realm. Even if this probability is infinitely close to zero, as long as it is not zero, then on an infinite time scale, this event will definitely happen."
“As for that, it will happen after many kalpas. Will the Xuanhuang Realm still exist by then…”
"That's another matter."
Li Fan's words shocked Jiao Xiuyuan.
The ideas and values in his words are very different from the "business philosophy" he has always adhered to.
Tianzun is my witness, although Jiao Xiuyuan may occasionally take advantage of small gains in his business, he has never carried out false propaganda so blatantly and openly.
Qianlitang has always been based on integrity.
But Jiao Xiuyuan felt in his heart that what Li Fan said made a lot of sense.
Over the years, Qianlitang's business scale has long been limited and reached a bottleneck. As a result, his [Wanqian Puppets Dao] has been unable to break through.
"By analogy, this method can not only be used on the Small Medicine King Cauldron. All commodities in the world can be operated in this way. At that time..." Jiao Xiuyuan imagined it for a while, and he was so excited that it seemed as if his soul was trembling.
He heard Li Fan talking nonstop again: "In order to maintain the popularity of the Small Medicine King Cauldron, fellow Taoist can hold an auction every once in a while. Use the auction method to sell a few of the small cauldrons."
"Not only can we maximize profits, but we can also promote Qianlitang's business. It's a win-win situation."
