In the Immortal Sect, making money is not a difficult task for a foundation-building cultivator.
After all, every foundation-building true cultivator can basically obtain a second-level professional certificate of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts as long as they are willing to spend time.
It's a bit embarrassing to say that Chen Mobai, the number one talisman genius of the 5012th class, although he has successfully established the foundation, is still only a first-level talisman maker.
Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, two people in the same class, studied hard as early as the fourth grade and used their extracurricular time to pass the second-level Talisman Maker examination.
If Chen Mobai hadn't improved his level quickly enough, he would have been expelled from his position as the "No. 1 Talisman".
If a foundation-building monk works harder, he can basically earn more than a million in good deeds in a year.
Chen Mobai calculated the amount of good deeds he would need to purchase the elixirs from the Life Extension Academy if he wanted to replenish his life span of 180 years.
A longevity pill costs 8,800. If you take 30 pills, that’s 264,000 points of good deeds.
A longevity pill costs 128,000 pills. If you take 9 pills, that’s 1,152,000 points of good deeds.
Since you can't buy Guishou Dan, you may have to endure the drug resistance and continue to take longevity pills after taking 9 pills.
Yu Rulin said that the Life Extension Academy conducted an experiment and found that if the same person takes the 10th longevity pill, the effect is only to add 9 years of longevity.
After that, each pill will be reduced by one year. By the time you take the 20th pill, the effect of longevity pill will be the same as that of longevity pill.
However, this is still effective. If you continue to take it, each longevity pill will still have the effect of replenishing one year of longevity. After taking 30 pills, it will have no effect at all.
Taking 30 pills of both longevity pills and longevity pills can make up for 177 years of life, which can almost offset the side effects of the longevity tree fruit.
I calculated the price in my mind and soon had the exact quantity.
4,104,000 points of good deeds.
four million……
Chen Mobai's mouth twitched slightly.
It's a bit expensive, so the quickest way is to resell the three foundation-building treasures of the Taoist Academy with credits. The demand for these things exceeds the supply in the entire Immortal Sect. As long as they are in stock, there is no shortage of people to buy them, and they all buy them at a premium.
But this method can only be used to deal with emergencies. Chen Mobai will always graduate one day, and it is impossible to keep the Taoist school's wool all the time.
You still need to find a way to get a stable income. After all, although the resources in Xianmen are expensive and scarce, there are also a lot of good things. If you save some good deeds in advance, they will always come in handy.
After thinking about it again and again, Chen Mobai also looked through the legal provisions of the Immortal Sect and found that the ways to make money in the Immortal Sect were basically occupied by others.
The most profitable ones are naturally pills.
However, the six major pharmaceutical companies in Xianmen occupy most of the market, and the rest are those like Yanshou Academy, which specialize in a certain aspect and have a near-monopoly.
As for the field of elixirs that the six major pharmaceutical companies and the major universities in Xianmen looked down upon, the competition was even more intense than you can imagine. Chen Mobai only asked Wang Xingyu for a brief understanding, but did not consider making money from elixirs.
He originally thought of smuggling Shenmu Sect's medicinal materials from the Tianhe Realm and selling them here, but Wang Xingyu said that in the immortal medicine industry, every medicinal herb entering the market requires the seal of the Xianmen Drug Supervision Bureau.
If you make some refining materials for yourself in private, you don't have to abide by this rule, but if you want to sell them in large quantities, you will definitely not be able to bypass this hurdle.
The origin of medicinal materials must be clear, and the process from planting to cultivating to harvesting and storage must be clear and clear. If one link is missing, the seal cannot be stamped.
Without Xianmen's seal endorsement, no pharmacy would purchase it.
After elixirs, there are the two traditional industries of talismans and magical instruments.
Talismans have penetrated into all aspects of Immortal Sect life, large and small. They are considered consumables. The competition here is relatively stable. As long as they can be refined and have a professional and certified talisman maker stamped with their seal of practice, someone will pay for them.
However, this aspect relied on word of mouth. Even if Chen Mobai immediately passed the exam as a second-level Talisman Maker, he would probably not be as good as those big factories run by third-level or even fourth-level Talisman Makers.
In the magic weapon industry, the most profitable items are naturally various household utensils, but Chen Mobai has no way out.
There is no need to consider the formation infrastructure, as I know nothing about it.
After much deliberation, in the end I could only turn back to the elixirs and talismans.
He is familiar with talismans, and as for elixirs, he has connections in Tianhe Realm.
But now Chen Mobai is only in the thinking stage and has not made a decision immediately.
He decided to consult a professional.
Turning on his phone, when he was still in Danxia City, the profile picture of the shopkeeper of the Mu Ling Talisman shop he had been patronizing was still on, and Chen Mobai sent a private message pop-up.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper still remembered him as a big customer and spoke in a friendly tone.
However, when Chen Mobai asked about how to open a talisman shop, the latter gave a speechless expression.
How can I ask my colleagues?
But the shopkeeper doesn’t have any big ambitions, and his shop is just a personal handicraft workshop. He just talked about his experience and experience in opening a shop over the years.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt deeply that it was not easy.
Since there are no professional equipment and machines, the shopkeeper needs to work hard to prepare the ink by himself. Fortunately, there are some small tools that can help crush cinnabar, fuse spiritual objects, and timer thermometers to control the heat.
If in the Tianhe Realm, everything could only rely on experience and labor, Chen Mobai would probably give up directly.
The advantage of a small workshop is that there are no maintenance costs for large equipment, nor the cost of hiring monks. Talisman paper can be purchased, and if the Talisman pens are well made, they can be used for several years.
But the disadvantage is that it can't be done very well.
The profits from making talismans are already slim. Since any talisman maker can draw them, the competition is huge.
Due to the industrialized system of the entire Xianmen, labor costs are saved, and the profit of the talisman industry is only about 5%.
Even so, at least hundreds of newly registered talisman shops close down and file for bankruptcy every year.
The Muling Talisman Store has been able to operate on Xianmen.com for ten years and even makes a slight profit every year. It is already a very good example of operating conditions in the industry.
[Usually, we Qi-training monks, even if we pass the second-level Talisman Making Master exam, can only barely make a living. But those who are foundation-building true cultivators are different. As long as they are willing to settle in the local area, our Danxia City is willing to allocate a piece of land for free to them to start industries, and even has various tax preferential policies. 】
[So in the Immortal Sect, only realm is everything. It's a pity that I failed to build the foundation and still owe a large loan to the bank. Although I have reached the ninth level of Qi training again, I probably won't be able to get to the next level in this life. 】
[Now I can only hope that my younger brothers and sisters who are studying in college can successfully build a foundation, so that our family can have a chance to get rid of debt and turn around. 】
At the end of the conversation, the shopkeeper of Mu Ling Talisman Shop seemed to be touched in his heart, and sent a series of long texts, lamenting the hardships he had endured over the years.
Chen Mobai comforted him, added his real-life contact information, and then called his mother.
"What, you want to open a talisman factory?"
After Tang Pancui heard about Chen Mobai's plan, she immediately screamed.
"Yes, I heard that Danxia City has a policy of giving land to foundation-building cultivators to settle down. I'm building a foundation. I can't waste it."
When Chen Mobai was in college, his household registration was moved to Chicheng Dongtian.
Now that I have discovered that there are still such benefits after moving back, I will naturally not let it go.
"Son, I'm very happy that you have such a career-minded mother, but starting a business is not a simple matter. After acquiring the land, you need to build a factory. Where will your start-up capital come from? Even if you build it, the subsequent operation will The management team is another big problem. Even if all these are completed, if you want to sell the talismans you made, there will still be channel problems..."
Tang Pancui is indeed an old employee who has worked in the Talisman Factory for more than 20 years, and he knows the ropes very well.
"How about opening a small shop first and temporarily accumulating experience?"
Chen Mobai was scolded and felt that he was a little ill-considered, but his entrepreneurial spirit still persisted.
As a trader in both worlds, he felt that he still needed to open a serious factory here in Xianmen as a cover for large-scale reselling in the future.
"This is the best, and if you really want to go back to your hometown to start a business after graduation, I have a way here."
Tang Pancui suddenly said something that surprised Chen Mobai.
"Mom, you are a part-time worker, how can you still start a business?"
"Our boss is said to be about to break through to the sixth level of foundation building. If he wants to go further in the future, he will definitely not be able to take him in a small place like Danxia City. He will have to go to those big caves. In this way, his factories will not be able to It’s time to get rid of it, I’ll go talk to you, if you’re really interested, he might even be happy to sell it to you.”
When Chen Mobai heard this, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child playing in the talisman factory where his mother worked.
He also met the boss several times and he was a very gentle man.
His name is Wu Shangru, a graduate of Danzhu Academy. He successfully built a foundation while in school and was introduced as a talent by Danxia City. After many years of hard work making talismans and doing business, he built the current industry.
However, there are gains and losses. The resources and aura of Danxia City are not as good as those of the Great Cave Heaven. While he has earned tens of millions of good deeds, his progress in cultivation has undoubtedly been much slower.
If Chen Mobai remembers correctly, this Wu Shangru should be eighty years old. If he cannot cultivate to the ninth level of foundation building within the next forty years and misses the peak of body essence, there is basically no hope of forming an elixir. .
If he still had further ambitions, Wu Shangru should indeed go to Dadongtian.
Obviously, the chief graduate of Danzhu Academy still has a good heart.
In the evening, he personally called Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai politely called him uncle. After all, he was considered an elder who watched him grow up. The latter also took advantage of this title.
Wu Shangru had actually planned to leave Danxia City for a long time, but he had relied on the help of the Danxia City government to start his business. The current city owner took this as a favor and was not very willing to let such a talented person like him leave.
Although it is said that the foundation-building cultivation of the Seventy-two Blessed Lands of the Immortal Sect is basically flowing out to the Thirty-six Cave Heavens, they can delay it as long as they can. The Lord of Danxia City just does not agree with Wu Shangru's move.
Moreover, his Feitian Talisman Factory can be regarded as one of the local pillar industries. Although Wu Shangru promised to hand over the factory under his name to local entrepreneurs when he left, there would be no large-scale unemployment problem.
But if the famous Ji-Building True Cultivator hadn't taken over, this talisman factory with an annual output worth millions would definitely have deteriorated and eventually ended up in bankruptcy and liquidation.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Shangru, who should have left Danxia City five or six years ago, was held back here.
He had already found a way. As long as he moved his household registration to Huayang Dongtian and had sixty years of experience and dedication in working at the largest talisman factory in Xianmen, he would be qualified to purchase a Shui Yuan Jie Golden Pill. .
Wu Shangru actually joined the job 20 years ago, and now he only needs a registered permanent residence.
Now that Chen Mobai came to his door, it was just right for Wu Shangru.
With this Immortal Sect's most popular dance instrument Taoist leader taking over for him during this period, Danxia City will probably send him away with gongs and drums, so that Chen Mobai's household registration can be transferred back as soon as possible.
"My dear nephew, you can be considered as my helper. Let's do this. I will hire you as the spokesperson for my Feitian Talisman Factory, and I will not pay for the endorsement fee. When you graduate in four years, I will be here in Danxia City. How about I give you my share of the property?"
Wu Shangru put forward very sincere conditions from the beginning. Chen Mobai thought about it and agreed directly.
"Okay, then I will start tomorrow and arrange for your mother to take over the talisman factory. If you are free, you can come back and sign the contract. If not, I will come to Chicheng Cave to find you in person."
Chen Mobai thought for a while and felt that it would be better to go alone.
After all, he had made a huge profit. In the 1940s, he acquired a talisman factory with a reputation of 50 years.
Although the land belongs to Danxia City, the factory buildings and equipment are worth at least nearly ten million in total.
He just got himself involved, but he originally planned to find a quieter, less eye-catching place to quietly practice and improve after graduation.
Danxia City is my hometown.
Before going back, Chen Mobai first called Qingnv. Unfortunately, the latter was busy improving herself, and Danxia City would remind her of Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, so she didn't plan to call back.
"By the way, since you can appear in Xiaochitian, are you also in Chicheng Cavetian?"
Chen Mobai suddenly remembered this question, but Qingnv replied that he was not there.
"The spiritual vein of Chicheng Mountain is actually one of the ancient dragon veins. In theory, it can flow through most places in the Immortal Sect, so we chose to place Xiao Chitian Kaikai here."
"The Four Great Courtyards and the Ten University Palaces have internal projection lines assigned by the Immortal Sect that can enter Little Chitian, but they are not as stable as in Chicheng Cave Heaven, and the number of people who can enter is limited."
"However, after this period of internal testing, Xiao Chitian has stabilized. After the core fifth-level spiritual treasures are invested, the Chicheng Mountain Dragon Vein will be completely activated and cover the entire Immortal Sect. By then, those of our Four Avenues will Foundation-building practitioners who have graduated a long time ago will be able to enter one by one, and your unbeatable winning streak may have to be lost."
Chen Mobai chuckled after hearing Qingnu's words.
"I've been waiting for someone to come along who can beat me."
