Chapter 325 Marketplace (1)
While modifying the formation, Kaze and Tsuchio also warmly invited Chishi to be their guest.
The three of them got together and spent three days breaking open all the storage rings that had leaked out of the cave, and then sorting out the items inside. They felt incredibly wealthy.
The wealthy Jiufeng and Tuwei were very generous. They dismantled all the traps that Qingdongzi had asked them to carve and built practical and sturdy formations everywhere. In just half a month, they had stabilized the foundation of their place.
Then, filled with high hopes, they set up a storeroom for jade in this new sect.
They also asked Zhan Shi to lead more than two hundred laborers and cultivators to build a road leading to that mudflat.
On his way to call the handyman, Zhan Shi reported the situation at Xingluoyuan to Ji Rong. Ji Rong stroked his hand and said, "These two junior disciples from Zhengu are quite interesting. Let me, their senior uncle, send them some gifts."
The next day, Ji Rong had Qing Guanzi carry a large white jade stone and go with her to Xingluo Plain.
Qing Guanzi placed the large jade stone in front of the unnamed archway, then spat out a storage ring and handed it to Ji Rong. He then found a crack, climbed inside, and went to relax.
Ji Rong addressed the weasel cultivator Jiu Feng and the earth lizard cultivator Tu Wei, who came out to greet her upon hearing the noise, saying, "My two junior disciples, this is a gift from your senior uncle. Who will lead the sect from now on?"
Tuwei said, "Uncle-Master Kiyohime, since Toufeng's cultivation is high, he should do it."
Jiu Feng nodded excitedly from the side, then bowed to Ji Rong with his paws clasped and said, "This humble one, Jiu Feng, greets Martial Uncle Qing Ji Zi."
Ji Rong toured their palace, but found that the roof had been sealed and there were enough rooms to accommodate three to five hundred cultivators.
Then she took out the storage ring that Qing Guanzi had given her and said, "This was given to you by your Uncle Qing Guanzi."
"What's the name of your new sect? I'll write an inscription for you."
Jiu Feng immediately rushed to Ji Rong's side, took the storage ring with one claw, and said, "Uncle-Master Qing Ji Zi, we haven't decided on a name yet. It's just a few words. We'll come up with one ourselves when we've decided."
Upon seeing this, Ji Rong burst into laughter, thinking to herself, "No wonder Senior Brother Qing Dongzi was so worried about these two acting alone and insisted on accompanying them."
But now that they're here, they have no choice.
Ji Rong thought to herself, it doesn't matter if I can't speak well, it doesn't matter if I don't like to speak, I can just talk more.
These twenty array cultivators, who are proficient in writing, are a gift from Senior Brother Qingdongzi to the Danxue Mountains!
Thinking of this, Ji Rong's smile deepened.
She said, "My two junior disciples, now that the sect's buildings have been erected, and the jade on the mudflats is considered your property, you have some financial resources. Have you thought about how the sect should operate?"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Feng immediately stood up, scratching his head vigorously with his two paws, looking completely bewildered.
At this moment, Tsuchio had already taken out her magical artifacts and continued to modify the archway. She held a talisman pen in one claw and a thin knife in the other, and said without raising her head, "Uncle Kiyohime, we usually only draw arrays, we don't know what you're talking about."
"Master Qingyangzi told us to listen to you; we'll do whatever you say."
Ji Rong listened and observed, and then smiled and said, "Tuwei, now that the sect leader has been chosen, the rest of you can all become teaching elders. Are you willing to pass on the basics of the Way of Talismans and Arrays, make a name for yourselves throughout the Nine Provinces, and earn some treasures?"
Tsuchio raised his head and asked, "Uncle-Master, how do we do it? Is it complicated?"
Ji Rong took out a book titled "One Hundred Paths of Array Formation" and "Talisman Techniques" that Qing Pingzi had originally compiled and said, "These apprentices will be recruited by the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, and the capital for their training will be allocated to you by the Dragon and Phoenix Palace."
When the time comes, you can first teach them to read and identify the materials needed for the array symbols, and then teach them to draw some simple talismans.
If there is a good one among them, you may take him as your disciple.”
Upon hearing this, Jiu Feng's sharp mouth gaped open, and he said, "Uncle-Master, doing this will result in a loss!"
Ji Rong glanced at him and said, "How could you lose money?!"
Do you go and collect those gold and jade stones on the mudflats every day? Why not teach them to identify the materials and let them collect them for you?
Once they are familiar with the materials, you can teach them some basic array techniques, and then let them go back and grind the materials needed for making talismans and make purchases.
In this way, even if they are not suited for cultivation, they will have acquired a skill to make a living, and they will be grateful for your kindness and regard you as their teachers for the rest of their lives.
And you, in turn, have many laborers to provide you with raw materials. Isn't that good?
"As for making treasure, your master has already gone back, do you think your uncle would abandon you?"
Have you heard of the center forward of the Dan Demon Emperor Mountain?
When I arrived, he was the laughingstock of Danlou and a disgrace to my nephew, Gu Lin.
Now he's the owner of the Blood Pill Workshop, and the pills he refines are highly sought after by blood cultivators, often falling short of demand.
Ji Rong stretched out a winged claw and pointed to the sky, saying, "Even if you collect the materials they make at a lower price and then add a little more to transport them back to Yuxu Palace, it will definitely be cheaper than what you used to buy in Da Dan City."
Because here, the raw materials are not marked up, and the labor costs are very low.
The path of creating talismans is arduous, but requires a great deal.
I've sized up all twenty of you. You all know some basic talisman techniques like the Illusionary Swiftness and Displacement Talisman. You can craft some common talismans in the Danxue Mountains, such as "Swiftness Talisman," "Earth Escape Talisman," "Explosion Talisman," "Fire Talisman," "Gentle Breeze Talisman," and so on...
You can figure out what other talismans and incantations you need to use yourselves.
Even if these talismans only last a few breaths, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that they are cheap and easy to learn. Trust me, Uncle-Master, if you can make the talismans I've described, they will definitely sell very well.
Ji Rong looked at Jiu Feng, whose eyes were shining but filled with confusion, and asked, "Did you understand?"
Touka shook his head, while Tsuchio seemed completely absorbed in his own world, engrossed in his own drawing.
Ji Rong thought to herself, "Fine, I'll have to teach him from scratch. The clever one didn't come, did he?"
She said, "If you do as I say, you can earn countless treasures and have a chance to cultivate into immortals. Are you in or not?"
"Dry!"
Jiufeng raised his claws and shouted back.
Ji Rong thought to herself, "It's good that you're obedient."
She rolled her eyes and said happily, "Don't call me and Senior Brother Guanshan 'Uncle-Master' anymore, lest others always think we're in cahoots."
From now on, just like the cultivators of the Danxue Mountains, call me Lord Ji, and call Senior Brother Guanshan Lord Guanshan, understand?
"Yes!" Jiu Feng shouted loudly, "Lord Ji!"
Hearing the loud sound, Ji Rong felt completely refreshed.
Ji Rong felt refreshed, and her mind started working even faster. She said, "Jiu Feng, I find you to be quite clever."
Since you have such talent, you should first build your sect's houses, and then repair all the holes in Xingluo Plain, making sure they are smooth and flat.
Then, build a large array around this Starfall Plain that can control entry and exit.
"After it's repaired, I'll teach you how to build a talisman-themed market here. Besides being the sect leader, you can also be a market owner and amass a fortune."
Upon hearing that there were several large piles of treasure to be made, Jiu Feng beamed with joy and clasped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Uncle-Master!"
Ji Rong immediately frowned and said solemnly, "What did you call me? How could you forget again?"
"Yes, Lord Ji!" Jiu Feng smiled broadly and said, "Thank you, Lord Ji."
Ji Rong nodded in satisfaction, then called Qing Guanzi and headed towards Iron Flakes Mountain.
Ji Rong thought to herself, "Xingluo Plain is so big. If we're going to build a market for talismans, how can we not build a market for artifacts?"
Since a workshop for crafting tools has been built, why not let Qing Guanzi leave behind some legacy of power here and open a training hall?
Even if Senior Brother Guanshan is impatient with these things, I'm sure Qingshao would be willing to expand the business.
She sat on Qing Guanzi's lap, looking down at the withering spirit trees below, while thinking about establishing a market cluster in Xingluo Plain.
