Shortly after Tie Zhu and Cai Si became attendants, Yang Zhen asked them to practice the "Forging Body Technique" for mortals.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the two people guessed a thing or two from Caiyun's experience, and they accepted this technique with great joy.
Living in the mountains, they actually didn't have much to do. Sometimes the two of them would go to Wufang Pavilion to set up a stall and help Yang Zhen sell Xuanyang wood.
A round trip requires twenty to thirty miles of mountain road, which is also a good exercise for the two who are exercising.
This day was the first day of every tenth day. The master and servant had breakfast and walked down the mountain together.
They first passed by the mountains of water. Here, I met Dai Miaoying, who had been waiting here for a long time.
The little girl took out seven or eight jade bottles, which contained various elixirs that she had recently refined.
Like Yang Zhen, what she can currently refine are low-level elixirs such as Qi Restoration Pill, Bigu Pill, and Blood Replenishing Pill.
This type of elixir is almost unknown in Wufang Pavilion, because one of every three students takes alchemy as an auxiliary occupation in their cultivation.
Everyone is at about the same level, and the elixirs they practice are also similar.
However, in Yunya Zhenfang City, these elixirs are still quite popular.
Just sitting back and forth in the teleportation array requires two spiritual stones. Not every student can afford this expense.
Therefore, some people will collect these elixirs among students and sell them in the town to earn the price difference.
There are also people who entrust friends to sell them on their behalf.
Yang Zhen did the second type. For him, this was done casually, and he would not care about the difference between the few spiritual stones.
He took the jade vase and at the same time arranged the two colorful silk and iron pillars in the market on the waterside.
Then he and Zhao Yue'er continued to move forward. After arriving at Wufang Pavilion, they met two other friends waiting: Wang Shaoyu and Dou Manxiong.
These two young men, one refining alchemy and the other making talismans, also had some works of their own, which were also delivered to Yang Zhen.
Later, Zhao Yue'er went to Tianshui Peak, while Yang Zhen took the teleportation array to Yunya Town.
…
He went directly to the market in the town and saw a pretty girl sitting there behind an inconspicuous stall.
The reason why Yang Zhen is willing to sell for these friends is because he already has this fixed stall in Fangshi, Yunya Town, and someone is helping to take care of it.
Otherwise, he can't afford this time.
This person is none other than Caiyun.
After the little girl returned to Yunya Town, she has been living in the Zhao family's house, and she also borrowed the Zhao family's spirit gathering array for practice.
In the first few days, she worked in Zhao's shop and sold xuanyang wood.
As the largest cultivating family in the area of origin, the Zhao family is uniquely endowed, and Xuanyang wood has always been an important material for the Zhao family's trade. Among them, the sales in Yunya Town alone exceed 1.5 million sticks every year, accounting for nearly 50% of the local market.
The other half is shared by the Yunzhou Jindan Dai family, wealthy families like the Wang family, and some foundation-building families in Shuyang County.
After Caiyun worked in the shop for a few days, she followed Yang Zhen's instructions and rented a stall by herself in Fangshi in the name of Yuezhen Pavilion.
The explanation given to the outside world is that she wants to earn some pocket money for cultivation for the two young masters, and at the same time earn cultivation resources for herself.
The Zhao family expressed their approval for her behavior and agreed to grant her an annual quota of 10,000 Xuanyang wood at the cost price.
What is the price?
Normally, if Xuanyang wood is transported from the origin to Yunya Town, if it is transported by flying boat, the accumulated expenses will be around 13 spirit drops, which is also the cost price publicly announced by various companies.
But in actual operation, the Zhao family will also try every means to reduce these costs. The most common one is to secretly bring goods. For example, the ancestor of Zhexi used a flying boat to travel back and forth between the two places during the Chinese New Year, and loaded a lot of Xuanyang wood on the return trip, so the cost was much lower.
However, this kind of thing can only be done occasionally, after all, the distribution of benefits for each trade route is clear. You occasionally play a side role in the name of returning to your hometown to visit relatives. Once or twice a year, no one cares about you. But if you keep doing this, it’s shameless, and people won’t give you this face again.
So on average, the cost of Xuanyang wood in the Zhao family is about 11 spirit drops, and the wholesale price in Yunya Town is 15 spirit drops. The gross profit from this item alone is worth 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones every year.
Caiyun still took a certain amount of xuanyang wood from the Zhao family's warehouse every day at the price of 13 spirit drops, on a delivery-first-payment basis, put it in storage bags, and sold it in the market.
She has several such storage bags, all of which were gifts from Yang Zhen. Each space of almost two cubic meters can store two hundred Xuanyang wood.
That's right, except for a small amount of Xuanyang wood from the Zhao family, what she really sold was the ones Yang Zhen kept privately in the storage bag.
Yang Zhen would see her every five or six days to restock her supplies.
As for the source of these Xuanyang trees, he did not explain it clearly. He just asked the little girl to keep it a secret for him. He also promised that when the time was right, he would explain it to Zhao Yue'er himself.
Caiyun happily accepted his explanation, treating it as a secret that she and Yang Zhen shared, and secretly tasted the sweetness in it.
In this maid's heart, Yang Zhen is already her closest person. Especially after she reached the first level of Qi training and Yang Zhen took her to practice dual cultivation and opened four wood meridians in her body, she didn't even think about it.
The retail price of Xuanyang wood in Fangshi is 17 to 18 Lingdi. Caiyun can sell about 3,000 pieces every month, 70% of which comes from Yang Zhen's supply.
This alone brings Yang Zhen monthly income of about 350 spirit stones.
As for the talismans and elixirs, including those refined by Yang Zhen and Zhao Yue'er, they were sold incidentally, and it didn't matter whether they made money or not.
…
With the layout of Caiyun, Yang Zhen's annual Xuanyang wood sales have reached nearly 400,000 pieces.
To this end, he specially transformed the last back room of the newly purchased yard in Zhuyang into a large warehouse 40 meters long, 20 meters wide and 4 meters high, which can accommodate at least 300,000 xuanyang wood. .
This brought him an income of more than thirteen thousand spiritual stones throughout the year.
Among them, Xingdetang can contribute a thousand spiritual stones in profit every year, and 800 of them belong to him.
At Prince Ju's Mansion in Zhoucheng, he could earn at least eight thousand spiritual stones.
Then there is Caiyun, who earns nearly four thousand spiritual stones every year.
In the end, he will leave 10,000 to 20,000 pieces of Xuanyang wood in his space. In addition to being used by himself and Zhao Yue'er to make alchemy, there are also some colored silk and iron pillars that are sold in Wufang Pavilion. About a thousand pieces are sold every year. Above, nearly 200 spirit stones were harvested.
Another important source of his income: the sale of spiritual grass. With the more reasonable use of bluestone space, the income from this area, after deducting various expenses, is approximately 16,000 to 16,000 spiritual stones.
So by the end of the year, Yang Zhen was surprised to find that there were sixty or seventy middle-grade spiritual stones stored in his space.
This is all saved!
ps: The transitional chapter feels difficult to write. There are probably a few more chapters left, and we will enter the big chapter of Langshan Secret Realm.
