Chapter 326 Marketplace (2)
As soon as Ji Rong left, Tu Wei climbed down and asked Jiu Feng, "Senior brother, you agreed so readily, do you even know what a 'shop master' is?"
Jiu Feng shook his head, his eyes gleaming, and said, "We don't need to care about any workshops."
As long as the wealth we earn ends up in our pockets, and that old man Master stops interfering in everything we do, that's fine.
Tsuchio nodded in deep agreement, saying, "That's right. We're all so grown up, and Master is still always controlling us. It's really frustrating."
"Who knows, if I absorb more fresh spiritual energy here, I might be able to break through to become an Emperor."
The two disciples were talking at length about how bad things were about Qingdongzi, and the scene was quite lively.
Suddenly, Tsuchio stuck out his tongue and exclaimed, "Senior brother, Uncle-Master Kiyohime told us to reinforce all the gaps in Starfall Plain. Where are we going to get so much treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Feng immediately jumped to the side and said, "What did you say? Du Xiu?"
Tsuchio nodded sadly.
Jiu Feng's eyes darted around, his yellow tail swaying as he dragged it on the ground. He took out the storage ring that Ji Rong had given him, which he hadn't even warmed up yet, and said urgently, "Then I have to hurry and catch up with my uncles. This little bit of treasure isn't enough."
Qing Guanzi and Ji Rong hadn't been gone long, and the clouds in the sky hadn't yet dissipated.
Jiu Feng followed the cloud cave all the way to Iron Fragment Mountain.
Just as Ji Rong was discussing with Ji Zhi about taking the mortal path, becoming an apprentice, and establishing a weapon workshop in Xingluo Plain, Jiu Feng was led up by the badger-like cultivator who was squatting at the foot of the mountain.
Jiu Feng looked at the huge white jade stone with large blue-gold characters carved on it, which read "Refining Sect".
He was filled with envy, and an idea came to him. He thought that when he returned, he would also carve the name, and their sect would be called "Great Wind Sect" from then on.
As he walked, lost in thought, he soon arrived in front of Ji Rong.
After exchanging greetings, Jiu Feng grabbed Ji Rong's leg with one claw, which then struck the three blades, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
While clutching his paw and wincing in pain, Jiu Feng howled, "Uncle-Master Qing Ji Zi, Xing Luo Yuan is so vast, one storage ring isn't enough to hold all the treasures!" In this situation, Jiu Feng's appearance seemed quite sincere and earnest.
Ji Rong laughed and said, "Even if you wanted the entire Starfall Plain, I couldn't give it to you."
Aside from the territory you originally requested, the rest of the land still belongs to Juejun. When you set up the formations, not only will you not have to pay, but Juejun will also pay you extra wages.
Jiu Feng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and Ji Rong added, "You can also forgo wages and use your labor to pay for the gold. Once the market is built, you can share the profits."
As she spoke, Ji Rong blinked at Ji Zhi and said, "Even if Junior Sister Ji Zhi chooses to use craftsmanship to make money, she will still open a crafts shop in Xingluo Plain."
Ji Zhi didn't understand why this bird-like uncle would suddenly start spouting nonsense and say that she had agreed.
But since her master Qingyangzi had told her to listen to Ji Rong, which she remembered clearly, she immediately echoed, "What Uncle-Master Qing Jizi said is true."
Seeing Ji Zhi's reaction, Jiu Feng nodded and said, "Then we'll listen to our Uncle."
Ji Rong said, "Xingluo Plain is so big. In the future, Juejun and I will definitely invite other cultivators to open markets here. But at that time, we can no longer use labor to pay for the goods; we will have to pay for them."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Feng felt he had struck gold. He happily bowed to Ji Rong and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qing Ji, for leading us to wealth."
Seeing Jiu Feng's bewildered expression, Ji Rong felt sorry for him. She took out a storage ring from under her wing and handed it to Jiu Feng, saying, "There are some treasures in here. Take them and use them to strengthen your territory."
I know that once you go out and carve a large array, you may not have any business for several years or even decades. But to avoid your skills from becoming rusty, you can't stop carving or drawing, which is quite costly.
You guys, from now on, think more about those talismans I mentioned, okay? They're a quick way to make money.
Upon receiving the two storage rings, Jiu Feng was overjoyed, feeling as if he had finally found his soulmate. He bowed repeatedly to Ji Rong and the others before running off happily.
Ji Rong then took out a storage ring and gave it to Ji Zhi, saying, "Junior Nephew Ji Zhi, I would like you to take your disciples and teach them some blacksmithing skills. Are you willing?"
Ji Zhi nodded and said, "Ji Zhi is willing. My master once told me that Uncle Qing Ji Zi understands the ways of the mortal world best."
However, Ji Zhi is skilled in sword making but not familiar with other tools. He hopes his martial uncle can enlighten him.
Ji Rong nodded to Ji Zhi, then pulled out two large storage rings from under her overflowing wings. After examining them, she put one away and hung the other around her neck.
Ji Rong rummaged through the storage ring around her neck and soon found some scrolls. She took them out and handed them to Ji Zhi, saying, "These are low-level magic artifacts that my senior brother Guan Shan and I have collected recently. They can improve the attack power and productivity of ordinary cultivators."
As for whether there are any other cheap and easy-to-use magic tools, you, Ji Zhi and your fellow disciples, are all tool cultivators, so you should know more than me and Brother Guan Shan. Think about it yourselves.
Nephew Jizhi, we will be returning to the Jade Void Mountain Range soon. Please keep an eye on Jiufeng for me.
"If you lack anything while you are repairing Starfall Plain, you can make a list and tell the divine servants, and they will purchase the items you need."
After instructing Ji Zhi, Ji Rong asked Qing Guanzi to deliver a message to Longtan and to have Qing Tiao come to Shoudao Palace.
The Yuanjun's Nightlight Banquet is about to begin, but Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuangzhao have work to do and will not be attending.
Ji Rong took out a storage ring from under her wings and divided it into three parts. She hung one part around Gu Qingqing's neck and another part around her brother Ji Zhuang's neck.
Ji Rong said to them, "Don't worry, I'll ask Lord Yuanjun to smile at me and get me a pot of Xia Guang wine."
"As soon as I got the goods, I rushed here so you could have some fresh drinks."
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing happily propped herself up on her tail and stroked Ji Rong's head with her paw, saying, "It's okay if you don't bring it. We're too busy right now, so you should hurry back and help out."
Ji Rong nodded emphatically.
She returned to the Guardian Palace and had Jiao Jue draw the terrain of Xingluo Plain, then used red sand to circle sections of it.
Ji Rong made detailed annotations on it and said, "Brother, let my brother redraw it based on what I drew. He should repair the array where Xingluo should have done so, and build houses where he should have built them."
I gave half of the treasure to Sister Qingqing and my brother, which should last us for a while.
Let's cut down all the trees in the mountains that aren't good for growing and move them to Xingluo Plain. We'll build a big market there.
"If cultivators from the Central Plains come here to trade, we'll truly become rich!"
After speaking, Ji Rong took out the remaining storage ring from under his wing, piled it in front of Jiao Jue, and grinned, "Big brother, keep these, take them and spend them, no need to pay them back, haha!"
She said, "Brother, you posted a notice in the Danxue Mountains, recruiting apprentices for weapon crafting and talisman array cultivation at the Fusion Realm or above."
The tuition fee is 10,000 spirit crystals. Before graduation, only meals are provided, and no wages are paid.
Note: If you lack funds, you can use yourself or the Dragon and Phoenix Palace as collateral, and gradually repay the debt as you progress in your studies.
Jiao Jue smiled and said, "If it's written like that, everyone will think I'm going to hold a banquet, and no good cultivator will dare to come."
Ji Rong also smiled with narrowed eyes and said, "The first batch of recruits will be those cultivators who can't survive."
Even if such a cultivator is not talented, the fact that they can break free already shows that they have put some thought into it and made a firm decision.
In this way, they can only contribute their strength by forging iron, grinding stones, and panning for gold in the future.
Jiao Jue gathered the pile of storage rings Ji Rong had given him in his paws, nodded and smiled, "Since you, the wealthy one, are providing the funds, I'll lend them a hand."
The dragon and the bird looked at each other and laughed incessantly.
They then set out some wine and fruit, and while drinking, they talked about the plans and future of the Danxue Mountains.
