"Senior Brother Guan and Senior Sister He, I have the best relationship with you in the sect. What do you think of my proposal?
After the event is completed, each of you will receive 10% of the dividend. If you can’t run away, no matter how small these mosquito legs are, they are still meat.”
In the Changchun sect's cave, Chen Dengming picked up the teapot with a smile, poured a cup of spiritual tea for He Yingyu and Guan Le with his own hands, and roughly told him how to make money, waiting for a response.
This way of making money by relying on Gu insects is, after all, a trivial approach. The number of Gu insects that one person can refine is limited after all. It is like making talismans, recording exercises, and personal production. How can it compare with mass production?
Only by expanding the scale, creating a Gu refining field, and establishing a large market can we snowball and make money in an assembly line style.
By then, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they will still be meat if they are too many.
But creating a Gu refining field in the Changchun sect's territory is no simple matter.
There was no precedent before, so Chen Dengming decided to recruit two senior brothers and sisters to join the group. Only by having two more people to help with the conversation would he be more hopeful and gain a firm footing.
If he works alone, even if he succeeds, if the Gu refining field really makes money in the future, other senior fellow students may not have nothing to gossip about.
But then he brought in Senior Sister He, who had just been promoted to the late stage of foundation building, and Guan Le, a veteran who had a good relationship with everyone in the sect.
Even if others want to say gossip in the future, they have to be careful.
The way to make money actually mainly lies in the maintenance and measurement of interpersonal relationships. If you ignore this, you will be in trouble sooner or later if you make money again.
Guan Le took a sip of tea, blew on the tea leaves and said with a smile, "Actually, we all know the way of Gu. After all, it is a small way. For us foundation-building monks, it has little meaning and limited value.
But Junior Brother, your idea is a good one. This way is nothing to us, but for many disciples in the Qi training period, it is indeed an auxiliary in terms of combat power and Dharma protection, and there is a huge market.
Junior brother, you were at the gathering place and relied on this to make a fortune. You are much better than ordinary casual cultivators. However, the Gu refining technique you picked up from the corpse of a monk in the past may also be a certain Gu refining technique. A monk from the sect.
As for the origin, we have to wait for the internal screening to confirm."
"Junior Brother Chen finally thought of a way to make money. He has done it before and has mature experience. If it can be done, I think I can still support it."
He Yingyu smiled and said, "This Gu Dao is just a small path, and what Junior Brother Chen took out were only some Gu insects that are suitable for the Qi training period.
I think, even if it is really a technique of a certain Gu refining sect, this type of technique should not be considered a secret method among the same Gu refining sect.
After all, in the current world of immortal cultivation, there are too few small Taoist sects like this, which makes them seem strange. But precisely because they are few, we just use them. Who would come to me from the Changchun sect because of this little magic resource during the Qi training period? trouble? It should be fine”
"Master He, my Master He, you are already turning your elbows towards your Junior Brother Chen."
After hearing this, Guan Le felt depressed and helpless.
But when she met He Yingyu's bright and discerning eyes, she could only vaguely pick up the teacup and salute, "Senior Sister He is saying, since Senior Sister He agrees, if this matter can really come true, I will be counted as one of my friends. I will definitely support it then.”
"Okay! Thank you two senior brothers and sisters!"
Chen Dengming first gave He Yingyu a look of gratitude, then raised his teacup and drank the tea instead of wine. His mind was temporarily settled.
With the support of He Yingyu, a late-stage foundation-building monk, even the deputy sect leader Liang Yunsheng would take it seriously.
This is another reason why Chen Dengming wanted to ask He Yingyu and Guan Le for their opinions first, hoping to get them to join the gang.
Although the Changchun Sect encourages its disciples to hand over upright Taoist and magical methods, practice multiple methods, and protect the Dharma forever.
But Gu refining is not too orthodox after all. There are many Gu refining sects in the Western Region, but there are only two in the Eastern Region.
Relying on Chen Dengming alone, even if he successfully turned in some contribution points, it would still be difficult to make money by popularizing it.
With the support of He Yingyu and Guan Le, Chen Dengming immediately found Liang Yunsheng and expressed his thoughts.
When the identity review was restarted, Chen Dengming explained almost everything about the gathering place in detail, except that he did not say that he came from Nanxun.
Among them, it naturally also includes the way to make money by refining Gu.
Otherwise, as a casual cultivator, without a reasonable way to make money, it would be difficult for him to eat, drink, and live, let alone have a lot of resources to practice.
Therefore, Liang Yunsheng was not surprised to hear that Chen Dengming wanted to resume his old business and set up a small place near the sect, but he was a little hesitant.
After all, this Gu worm group is actually a side sect. As an orthodox Changchun sect monk and the deputy sect leader, Liang Yunsheng actually looks down on these side sects.
From the perspective of the deputy sect leader, Chen Dengming cultivated these side paths and encouraged his disciples to learn them. As a way to protect the Dharma, it would be okay if it was on a small scale.
The scope has expanded, and the disciples of the Changchun sect have only a few Gu insects. Could it be that they have become a Gu refining sect? Where is the magnanimity of the disciples of the big sect? His appearance is no different from that of the casual cultivators who once gathered in the southern region.
Yes, Changchun sect disciples who practice concurrently are miscellaneous, but miscellaneous does not mean that they learn everything. If the sect is full of chaos, the sect will still have restrictions.
However, considering the support of He Yingyu and Guan Le, and considering that Chen Dengming, a junior fellow student, is really poor, Liang Yunsheng, as a senior fellow apprentice, has a kind heart and cannot bear to be too strict in this regard.
In his opinion, Junior Brother Chen is good at everything, he has good qualifications, strong strength, a kind-hearted and loyal person, and he really does what he needs to do.
It’s just that my background is too poor and too poor, so I may feel a little low self-esteem.
Otherwise, Master He always showed some affection so obviously, why didn't Junior Brother Chen take the bait?
It's not obvious that he is too poor and has low self-esteem.
Maybe if he gets rich in the future and is well-matched, his Changchun sect will be able to create a good story.
From the perspective of the deputy sect leader, Liang Yunsheng comprehensively considered various aspects such as the sect's atmosphere, disciple's demeanor, the embarrassment of the extremely poor junior disciples, and the courtship needs of the foundation-building female cultivators in the sect, etc., and decided to open up the Internet and provide a channel for poverty alleviation. .
…
"You can open a Gu refining field in an open space outside the sect. After making a profit, you will be given 20% of the profit to cover the rent of the open space.
Moreover, after the Gu Refining Technique is handed over, the disciples can choose to learn it voluntarily, and no commercial means can be used to induce or trick the disciples into learning it."
After Chen Dengming received Liang Yunsheng's response and request, although he could not say that he was completely satisfied, he was relatively satisfied.
Senior Brother Liang did not refuse, and was willing to provide the vacant land as a Gu refining ground. The rental fee was calculated as 20% of the profit from the Gu insects. This was already a great assistance, and he did not expect to gain much profit from it.
It should be noted that the open spaces near the sect are close to the first-level spiritual veins of the sect.
It is impossible for ordinary casual cultivators to live close to it, as they will be expelled by the patrolling disciples.
This kind of place is very effective for cultivating Gu insects, which is much better than the shabby place in the gathering place.
The problem of not being able to actively sell the bewitching insects to the disciples within the sect can also be easily solved.
He can sell it to the casual cultivators in Changlefang, which is also a considerable customer base.
After busy arranging all these relationships and choosing an open space outside the sect, a few days have passed.
Chen Dengming had to lament that practicing cultivation is not easy.
When I was a casual cultivator, I had to think about how to earn spiritual stones every day.
Now that he has become a sect foundation-building monk, if he wants to continue practicing quickly, he still needs resources.
If you need resources, you have to earn spiritual stones, and you have to think of ways to make money.
Of course, he can also do it. He doesn't need to spend his spirit stones on the spirit-capturing array, buy the sect's cave and meals for free every day, and he doesn't need to buy magic weapons after improving his realm. He doesn't go anywhere, and trades time for space. The sect has been fighting for hundreds of years.
But this way of living is too depressing.
Moreover, in the world of cultivators, strength is the most important thing. If the demon cultivator attacks him again before he has survived for hundreds of years, but he is unable to resist because of his lack of strength and poor magic weapon, he will just stare blankly.
People still have to pursue a little bit, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and prepare for rainy days. You can't just lie down and cultivate immortality.
Fortunately, now that all the relationships have been sorted out, the next thing will fall into place, and we are just waiting to make money slowly.
Once the Gu refining field matures, relying on low-level Gu insects to open up the casual cultivator market in Changlefang will bring in money very quickly.
After all, Gu worms breed quickly, make small profits but quick turnover, and make large quantities to satisfy their needs.
As for the sales and market-seeking manpower, he can directly hire a few smart people from casual cultivators.
As a foundation-building monk of the Changchun Sect, he sent a disciple to recruit people, and there were many casual cultivators who were willing to help.
"I have to choose a disciple to help me recruit some familiar casual cultivators in Changle Square to look after the Gu refining field and sell the goods."
"Who should I choose? Why not choose the musician nephew? He has a good heart and is trustworthy. I wonder if this little girl is willing to do it."
Chen Dengming was thinking about it in his mind, and at the same time, he had already identified some casual cultivators in Changlefang.
Back then, he himself was Gao Hu, a casual cultivator who had lived in Changlefang for a long time, and he was still very familiar with the character of some of his neighbors.
If these people haven't moved out yet, they are still trustworthy if they come to work for him.
But these people would never have imagined that they were working for their former neighbor Gao Hu.
With everything arranged and planned, Chen Dengming summoned Le Yue, his nephew, to ask for his opinion.
Summer passes and winter comes again, and life is eighty years old.
In a blink of an eye, the April scene passed by.
It's the middle of winter, and the world is covered in silver.
Chen Dengming spent his 85th birthday in the world of immortality two months ago.
He didn't celebrate this birthday alone.
Instead, he held a banquet generously and invited He Yingyu and many other disciples to celebrate together.
All his fellow disciples congratulated him on his forty-one hurdle. If he passed forty, he would be considered as having passed this hurdle. Chen Dengming smiled and said nothing.
His Chen's Gu Refining Field has been operating smoothly in the past four months.
In the first one or two months, it was just a stage of cultivating Gu worms and hoarding Gu refining materials. The finished Gu worms were sold less and the profit was not much.
By the third month, the Gu insect market began to gradually open up in Changlefang's market. Daily sales were extremely good and profits began to increase day by day.
In the fourth month, he finally used the master-level Gu refining technique to refine a batch of golden silkworm Gu and blood centipede Gu that did not require blood refining. They were even sold to Chang'anfang thousands of miles away, and were quite popular among Qi training monks.
In particular, golden silkworm Gu is very popular among young people of some families, and is regarded as a hot-selling product. It is extremely valuable due to its scarcity.
Chen Dengming also made a lot of money from this. In just two months, after deducting the profit share, he made more than three high-grade spiritual stones.
Among them, the three golden silkworm Gu that were sold contributed the most. One golden silkworm Gu was directly auctioned for a high price of forty-five pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones in the Chang'anfang Auction House.
This kind of money-making speed is much faster than him working hard to burn spells alone.
At present, the most valuable technique he can inscribe is the first- and sixth-level "Wandering Qi Transformation into Metal Technique".
However, since the spiritual writing technique has not yet been practiced to the master level, the success rate of burning such a technique is only 30%.
On average, it is possible to burn one copy every three days, and it is quite draining of energy and affects the progress of practicing other exercises on weekdays.
Therefore, in order not to affect normal daily practice, recording "The Art of Traveling Qi into Metal" can only be done once every five days.
If you burn six copies in a month and sell them all, you will earn at least seventy or eighty yuan of middle-grade spiritual stones.
But magic is different from combat consumables like Gu insects.
You may sell six copies in the first month, but not many people may buy it in the second month.
Because the market can easily become saturated, not every monk who is above the sixth level of Qi training needs this technique, and there are not many such casual practitioners either.
After solving the problem with the spirit stone, Chen Dengming was no longer embarrassed.
Now that he has a way to make money and the Gu refining field is on the right track, he only has to be busy for a day or two in a month or two.
Other tasks such as harvesting, selling and transporting Gu insects are done by hired casual cultivators, and the musician nephew is responsible for checking them.
His main focus was on training and preparing for an all-out sprint to the middle stage of foundation building.
However, the hinterland of the Eastern Territory seems to be stable, but the periphery is still turbulent, which is unsettling.
At this time of winter, a large-scale war broke out again at the same time on the anxious battlefields with demon cultivators all over the Eastern Region.
This is also a large-scale offensive of demon cultivators that has been anticipated for a long time.
In the middle of winter, the environment in the Western Regions became even worse, resources were scarce, and internal disputes and contradictions were extremely acute.
Only by shifting the conflicts outward, launching an attack on the Eastern Territory front, and rushing into the Eastern Territory to plunder resources, can the internal conflicts be alleviated and the benefits maximized.
This is something that is not difficult to guess, so the Eastern Region has already taken precautions.
A monk war intensified in the four war zones and became fierce.
Many mortal kingdoms and small cultivating families are mixed in, and it can be said that the environment is in dire straits, demons cannibalism, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood are all too common in war zones.
Chen Dengming was in the Changchun Sect in the Eastern Territory without any danger, but sometimes he could feel the cruelty and urgency just by hearing the battle situation from the front line.
Under such circumstances, the reward he posted to find the Luo family monks, even though the reward was increased by 50%, still fell into the sea with no one to pick it up.
Chen Dengming knew in his heart that if he didn't want this matter to become a regret, he would have to wait until his own strength became stronger and the environment in the war zone was a little better to investigate it himself.
Cultivation, seeking the Tao, and refining the mind.
It is also about cultivating the mind, questioning the mind, and asking questions.
If the mind is not smooth and the thoughts are not clear, and it has been cultivated for thousands of years, and the knots in the heart are difficult to resolve, it is just trying to catch fish from a tree, and there is no hope of the road.
But at present, his strength is still not enough to rashly step into the war zone.
"There are still nearly two months before I can completely break through to the middle stage of foundation building. I don't know how long it will take after the middle stage to reach the late stage."
In the Changchun Sect, in the Heart Lian Cave, Chen Dengming was being harassed by the power of formations from all directions, but he still had the energy to observe the progress of his practice and gradually calm down his mind.
""Changchun Gong" (3rd floor 5819/9000)"
Four months ago, after his Changchun Gong broke through the second level, his skill proficiency reached 9,000.
At his current speed, he can practice 52 points of skill proficiency in one day.
It only takes two months to officially break through to the middle stage of foundation building.
But to break through to the late stage of foundation building, he initially estimated that it might take two or three years.
If he imitated Senior Sister He and spent a lot of spirit stones to open the Four Elephant Spirit Gathering Formation, it might be a lot faster, but he couldn't afford that kind of krypton gold cultivation method, even if he now established a Gu refining field.
"Whoosh——"
At this time, because he deliberately betrayed a mental flaw, a huge blood claw suddenly appeared from the front out of thin air. The fingers of the blood claw were as strong as a volcano erupting, exuding blood evil energy, and struck hard to kill.
Chen Dengming had expected it and was not panicked at all. His consciousness was concentrated, and his eyes seemed to have hidden lightning suddenly appearing.
The mind is like a knife. The sword intention is combined with Baigui Yinlu's divine refining method. Chen Dengming's spiritual power suddenly condenses into a small knife that shoots out electric arcs, and it shoots out instantly.
It was like a dazzling and astonishing flash of light broke through the darkness, instantly hitting the bloody claws coming from the front and tearing them apart.
A ferocious scream suddenly came from the darkness, and then a red flash appeared in the darkness, as if a black cloud had lifted up, revealing a large piece of blood-like light.
A ferocious huge bloody ghost face was crushing him like a huge stone roller.
A terrifying power erupted.
This kind of spiritual attack is even more powerful than the spiritual offensive played by the vampire Taoist he fought against in the past.
"Made in the middle stage of foundation building?"
Chen Dengming was cautious, but not afraid at all.
With a thought in his mind, the lightning flying knife condensed by his spiritual consciousness instantly turned into a strong but short-lived blue light, like a torrent of sapphire blue light pouring down from the sky, and the electricity shot towards the bloody ghost's face.
Gala!
A roar erupted deep in the spiritual consciousness.
The bloody ghost face howled and retreated a few inches, then rushed towards him with another roar.
"The demonic cultivators who appeared in this Lianxin Cave formation simulation are quite tyrannical."
Chen Dengming felt dizzy and immediately felt a strong threat.
He gathered his mind and snorted coldly, and suddenly pointed out, a thunderbolt appeared in the sky with the light of fire, and the divine sword was transformed by his divine consciousness.
In an instant, it condensed into an eight-foot-long gleaming giant sword. Electric arcs were flying around the blade, and it suddenly slashed out, fiercely clashing with the bloody ghost face.
Bang, Dang, Dang! ——
There was a series of roars, like a large empty oil drum bouncing down the steps. The bloody ghost face was torn apart violently, and a bright white light emitted from the cracks, suddenly exploding.
In the next moment, all the darkness and illusion around him faded away.
Chen Dengming's consciousness was certain. He opened his eyes from the Heart Refining Cave and felt that his consciousness was exhausted and consumed a lot.
He glanced at the calm formation flags around him, then looked at the ten broken mid-grade spiritual stones in the grooves near the formation plate on the ground, and shook his head slightly.
too expensive.
Trying to challenge the more difficult Heart Refining Cave once, he consumed ten mid-grade spiritual stones, which was enough for him to sell a copy of "The Art of Wandering Qi Transforming into Metal".
However, what just appeared was a demonic cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. This actual battle was indeed not a loss.
If you encounter this kind of demonic cultivator on a normal day, your life would be in danger if you lose.
"Unexpectedly, my current spiritual consciousness can actually compete with the demonic cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building. After the spirit body absorbed the thunder power of Tiangang, my consciousness also gained a little more power of thunder. It's a good thing. The sweetness given by Senior Sister He is really good. I will continue to protect her next time."
Chen Dengming stood up with satisfaction, rubbing his slightly dizzy eyebrows, and today's actual battle came to an end.
The Changchun Sect's Lianxin Cave is one of only three special training places within the sect. You can enter and practice by consuming a certain amount of sect contribution.
Although the Changchun Sect does not pay attention to bravery and fighting, it is impossible not to train the disciples in the sect in actual combat and cultivate a group of lambs to be harvested. Therefore, there are still such places for training disciples.
In the past few months, Chen Dengming had been searching for monsters in the wild to no avail, so he occasionally spent time in several sects' actual combat sites to practice his spiritual awareness, spells, and combat skills.
Now he is confident that if he encounters the vampire Taoist again, he will definitely be able to cut his hand off with a knife.
"Junior brother Chen, you are really diligent in training and actual combat. In fact, as you are so energetic and have such strong combat effectiveness, why don't you take the initiative to apply to perform meritorious service in the war zone? Maybe you can even make a fortune."
When walking out of the Lianxin Cave, a voice came with a smile.
Chen Dengming turned around and bowed politely, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Wang. Senior Brother Wang boasted about it. With my humble skills, Junior Brother, I just practice actual combat on weekdays. If I really go to the war zone, it's not just delivering food. I have to go on a lot more." Practice for a while.”
Wang Feixuan smiled but said, "Hmph. Junior brother, are you afraid of death? I heard that you have been searching for the whereabouts of the Luo family on the border of the Eastern Region?"
Chen Dengming frowned slightly. Senior Brother Wang seemed to have some objections to him, but he still nodded.
"Yes, the Luo family has some connection with me. Does senior brother have any news about the Luo family?"
"Oh no, if I were you, I would go and look for him myself. What does it mean to just stay in the sect and argue with the air from time to time? It's just a waste of resources."
Wang Feixuan finished speaking and walked away.
Chen Dengming was baffled.
He had also visited Senior Brother Wang before, and he asked himself that his relationship was pretty good. Even if the relationship was not good, it was not bad. Why did he take the wrong medicine today?
After leaving Lianxin Cave, Chen Dengming was puzzled and immediately went to visit Guan Le to ask about the situation.
Guan Le sighed, "Hey, Junior Brother Chen, you don't know that during this time, the war in the four war zones is very fierce. The longevity sect issued an order yesterday, and each sect must send two foundation builders to the corresponding war zone to participate in the battle. .
This is forced service. Such things rarely happened in the past, and foundation-building monks generally would not force them to do so. "
When Chen Dengming saw Guan Le's frowning face, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Senior Brother Guan, you don't know how to do it, so you were selected too, right?"
Guan Le raised his eyes, glanced at Chen Dengming, and sighed, "Selected! There is no way.
It's human nature for Senior Brother Wang not to want to go. He thinks that Junior Brother you should go the most.
Because you just joined the sect, you enjoy a lot of benefits, but not many obligations. However, he has made a lot of contributions to the sect. He should not go, and you should go the most, so he is targeting you.
But Senior Brother Liang said that you had only joined the sect not long ago and had not been able to break through and build the foundation for a long time, so I didn’t choose you.
It is said that this is Master He’s kind words for you.
Junior Brother Chen, don’t take it too seriously, forget it.”
Chen Dengming frowned, feeling suddenly enlightened.
Don’t worry about fewness, but worry about inequality.
Thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Wang Feixuan's thinking.
Guan Le may not even think so in his heart, but he has a good relationship with him, so he won't say it to his face.
After he first joined the sect, he became a foundation builder in less than two months. He was rewarded with two thousand sect contributions and could directly learn Changchun Kung Fu and many Taoist techniques.
He also used the sect's cave and second-level spiritual veins for free, and could directly receive the benefits of a foundation-building monk every month.
Even if he had good welfare, few senior brothers would be too envious of him as a poor guy.
As a result, four months ago, he secured an open space to build a Gu refining field, made a lot of money, and could continue to make money in the future.
This poor ghost character is not poor because of the support of the sect.
After all, it seemed that he had only taken one risk for the sect.
The number of meritorious services he performed was indeed much less than that of Wang Feixuan, but he enjoyed a lot of the benefits of the sect.
Now when it came time for the sect to select people to send to the war zone, it seemed that because of He Yingyu's dissuasion, he no longer had to go.
Privately, I am afraid that some of his fellow disciples say that he is a pretty boy who only got the strong support of Senior Brother Liang by relying on He Yingyu's soft rice.
Under such circumstances, it is strange that no one is jealous. There may be many senior brothers who are dissatisfied.
Chen Dengming felt a sense of urgency again.
He doesn't have to go to select people this time.
But what about next time?
Senior Brother Liang said that once the Eastern Territory reacts, the demon cultivators will be able to be driven back to their home base soon. How long this will take is still unknown.
Some people within the sect are already complaining. As the deputy sect leader, Senior Brother Liang cannot fail to understand this.
Maybe, next time he will be selected to serve on the battlefield.
You have to cultivate and break through as soon as possible.
Chen Dengming encouraged Guan Le a few words, and then took out some high-level talismans that he had acquired in the past from his storage bag, as well as a few bottles of unused healing medicine, and gave them to Guan Le.
He has never been negligent when it comes to being a human being.
Relationships need to be maintained.
Guan Le has no complaints about him now, but if he doesn't maintain it, it will be uncertain in the future. There is no need to turn such a friend into an enemy.
Real friends don't care about these things. If they care about them, they are not real friends. You don't need to care about such childish words, just listen to them.
After he sent some farewell gifts, although Guan Le declined, the sadness on his face became much less, and he was obviously in a much better mood.
Chen Dengming said goodbye immediately and left. When passing by He Yingyu's cave, he wanted to stop by to express his gratitude. However, he noticed the looks of some disciples in the distance as they passed by, so he gave up the idea of visiting He Yingyu's cave.
Rumors are the most hurtful. Everything must be done with strength.
