Chapter 311 Amassing Wealth (1)
As expected, Qingpingzi's "Talisman Techniques" became a bestseller as soon as it was published.
Because he didn't set any barriers to his teachings, wealthy cultivators from the rich Canglan Mountains and waterways competed to buy and collect his works, even though none of them were talisman cultivators or array cultivators.
Upon learning the news, the remaining reclusive clans and the cultivators of blessed lands throughout the Nine Provinces also vied to purchase it.
For a time, in the Artifact Pavilion and the Array Valley, the great cultivators at the Emperor Realm were inscribing wooden books day and night.
This terrifying speed at which money was amassed caused the treasure troves of Zhen Gu, Qi Lou, and Qing Pingzi to expand rapidly.
Every day, Jiao Jue would ride the clouds above the Shoudao Palace, watching the cultivators on celestial horses carrying steady loads of treasure toward these three places, and he would feel extremely envious.
Turning his head, he said to Ji Rong, who had just finished selling the tree trunks and returned to the Guardian Palace, "Good bird, my Danxue Mountain Range is rich in mineral deposits. Do you want to take some and make some treasure for us?"
Ji Rong looked at Jiao Jue, whose belly had shrunk after dismantling its source flow, and said, "That's a good idea, but is Big Brother really willing to give it up?"
Jiaojue stretched out a claw and said, "A broken mountain, what's there to be reluctant about? You get three and I'll get five. One-tenth goes to the fox and your brother, and one-tenth goes to the Danxue Mountain Range to help you with your work."
Ji Rong nodded to indicate that she understood. She said, "Big brother is really anxious about the Danxue Mountains. Now he's only thinking about the benefits of working hard without doing any work. He's becoming more and more stingy."
We'll each take three, one-third for my brother and Qingqing, and the remaining three-thirds for those who do the work, how about that?
Jiao Jue shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but if I were the only one using it, the annual offerings from the Canglan Mountains and their water veins would be enough to fill half a hall."
But the ideas you gave us before led to us raising far too many birds.
We're out now, but they might be starving.
For the long term, we need to find them some way to make a living. After thinking it over, I decided that letting them work in the mines would be the fastest way to earn money.
"Haha!" Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately spread his wings and raised his head to praise, "Big brother, you are becoming more and more benevolent! Mining is not a long-term solution. If we want to get rich, we still need to teach them some skills."
When the Dao of Immortality first opened, I suggested to my senior brothers and sisters that they leave the Jade Void Palace and establish their own Daoist temples.
However, the senior brothers and sisters were used to living in the Jade Void Palace and did not want to go out to make a living. Senior Brother Qingdongzi was like this. He made excuses, saying that they, as cultivators of the talisman array path, were not good at fighting.
Since you're willing to do this, I can devise a plan to lure my fellow disciples to open their own dojos in the Danxue Mountains.
"At that time, as long as you, elder brother, exert some effort to suppress the various tribes of the Danxue Mountains and establish that training ground, why worry about the cultivators of the Danxue Mountains having no means of livelihood, or about not accumulating wealth?"
Jiao Jue's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he squinted with pleasure, saying, "Good bird, your brain really works!"
Ji Rong looked at Jiao Jue, who had been carrying worries since moving into the Shoudao Palace. With a quick glance, she took out a wooden book with the words "Talisman Techniques" written on it and handed it to Jiao Jue. She said seriously, "Brother, read this book carefully. After you finish reading it, I will take you to the Array Valley to exchange ideas on talisman arrays with Senior Brother Qing Dongzi."
Senior Brother Qingpingzi has already passed on the "Hundred Treasures of Array Formations" and will teach this "Talisman Techniques" next year. From then on, there will surely be exceptionally talented array cultivators who emerge.
Senior Brother Qingdongzi is cautious by nature, but he has not yet attained immortality, so he must be anxious.
I'll then speak to him privately about the benefits of the Danxue Mountains, and make him interested.
Jiao Jue nodded slightly and took the "talisman" to read.
Upon closer inspection, He discovered that Jiao Jue possessed some unique insights. Seeing that Jiao Jue was quite knowledgeable in this field, Ji Rong, after reading through his work, sent Jiao Jue to Zhen Valley under the guise of exchanging ideas.
Before leaving Zhen Valley, Ji Rong looked at Qing Dongzi, who was covered in treasures, and warmly pulled him to a corner, saying, "Senior brother, Jue Jun's Danxue Mountain Range is rich in mineral resources. Have any of your disciples thought about going out to establish their own dojos?"
If so, I will go with Juejun to ask Him to give you two excellent mountains.”
"A gift?" Qing Dongzi rubbed his hands together shyly, his small eyes gleaming, and laughed, "Junior sister, how could I possibly accept this?"
Ji Rong opened her beak and said, "What's the big deal? The Danxue Mountains all belong to Lord Jue now."
Before Juejun attained enlightenment, he was already very talented in array formations. He must be able to get along well with you, Senior Brother. Wouldn't you become friends after a few conversations?
What's wrong with giving a mountain as a gift between friends? Besides, this mountain is still located under the Danxue Mountains, so Juejun hasn't suffered any apparent loss.
When the time comes, if there are any talented youngsters in the Danxue Mountains, Senior Brother, you can have your junior disciples take them in. If they lack the ability, they can be sent to mine or farm.
Senior brother, what do you think?
The annual sermon conference provided a large amount of manpower to the previously understaffed Equipment Pavilion and Medicine Pavilion, and Zhen Valley also gained some disciples as a result.
Normally, Qing Dongzi would never have considered Ji Rong's suggestion.
But things are different now, Qing Dongzi thought to himself, that "talisman technique" was clearly a gift from Senior Brother Qing Pingzi to Zhen Gu.
However, because there were few cultivators in Zhen Valley, most of the treasure from these published books ended up in the pockets of the Qilou.
Seeing that only a small portion of those dazzling piles of treasure belonged to Zhen Gu each time, Qing Dongzi felt a pang of heartache.
Qing Dongzi thought to himself, if he had extra labor, he could also publish ten or eight books with his insights on "talismanic arts," so that his disciples could earn more wealth and strengthen his path of array formation.
In addition, no cultivator in the path of array formations has yet attained immortality.
Qing Dongzi was very anxious as his senior brother was about to teach him the "talisman technique".
If some hidden corner suddenly produces an immortal of array formations, where will Qingdongzi put its face? And the disciples of its Array Tower will definitely be forced to lower their prices when setting up arrays.
"Even if this isn't me, as long as the First Array Immortal comes from my Array Valley, that's fine." Qing Dongzi thought to himself, "Fine, the older ones have been clamoring to go out, this time, let them go to the Danxue Mountain Range to explore."
Thus, the naturally suspicious and cautious Qing Dongzi immediately accepted the bait offered by Ji Rong. He said, "Thank you for thinking of me so much, Junior Sister Qing Jizi. I will ask my disciples for their opinions tomorrow. Once we have decided on the cultivators who will leave the mountain, I will then discuss it with Lord Jue."
Seeing that Qing Dongzi was already tempted, Ji Rong smiled and said, "That's right, Senior Brother. Jue Jun is a true dragon who has proven his divine power. If you go to Danxue Mountain Range to open a temple, I will have Jue Jun protect you."
I imagine Senior Brother Qingpingzi would also approve of Senior Brother Qingdongzi's heroic act and would help Array Valley acquire some belongings.
Qingdongzi nodded in agreement.
