After Chen Ping returned from Nanzi Lingtian, he did not go back to Xiaozhu Peak directly, but went to Sanxiu City first.
Today is the day for Fu Lu to teach.
When passing by a shop, I accidentally met Peak Master Sima who had just come out of that shop.
Chen Ping thought it was just right.
He originally wanted to go find Master Sima, and after greeting him, he asked:
"I heard last time that Master Sima Peak was going out a few days ago. When do you plan to go out?"
Peak Master Sima pointed to the shop behind him:
"No, this is the last inspection of the property before going out. Prepare to go out in the next few days. What? Is Master Chen busy?"
Chen Ping said bluntly:
"After entering the Golden Core, I haven't started practicing the third-level formations yet. Lord Sima is out this time. Is it convenient for me to bid for a set of third-level formation books and formations on my behalf?"
For his current speed, a trip to Tianyan City would only take a few days.
The problem is that you may not be able to catch the auction if you go there, and you may not necessarily have the third-order formation if you catch the auction.
You have to pay attention to opportunities.
This process is very time consuming.
There is no time to ask Master Sima to bid on his behalf.
"Of course." Peak Master Sima said immediately. Thinking of the time when we were looking for the formation eye of the Mist Formation together, Chen Ping was still a first-order formation mage, and couldn't help but ask:
"Fellow Daoist Chen is going to practice the third-level formation. Could it be that he has already understood the second-level formation very deeply?"
"I can't talk about it in depth, but I have to learn the third-order formation sooner or later." Chen Ping said carelessly.
Peak Master Sima smiled:
"So, it seems that he has learned well. If Feng Yu hears these words from Daoyou Chen, he will tremble with envy."
He couldn't help but tease Feng Yu, paused, and continued without waiting for Chen Ping's answer:
"What kind of formation are you looking for, Fellow Daoist Chen?"
Although there are certain risks in taking photos of property for others, such as the risk of being robbed.
A small handling fee can be charged at the same time.
To Master Sima, fly meat is also meat. He was shocked when he heard that Chen Ping was in need.
"A three-level all-in-one mountain-protecting formation would be good. The more formations that can be combined, the better." Chen Ping said.
The mountain-protecting formation is a representative formation among the third-level formations.
This type of formation can contain a variety of functions, but it is not necessarily necessary to practice all functions when practicing. For this reason, it didn't matter that Chen Ping asked Master Sima to do the filming for him. He was not worried about leaks. Anyway, the final choice of which functions to practice rested with him, and even Master Sima couldn't guess.
"Well, if I can find a suitable formation, I will definitely take the photo for Fellow Daoist Chen. Do you have any other needs?" Peak Master Sima promised.
"No more, no more spirit stones. For this formation, we can only pay for it after Master Sima comes back." Chen Ping said with a smile.
Peak Master Sima also smiled:
"That's no problem. Master Chen doesn't need to worry about it. After the pill is formed, the cost will indeed be much higher, and the spirit stone is really useless."
"By the way, I heard that Master Chen is planning to form a team of talisman masters. Are you planning to make great efforts to develop the talisman profession to make money?"
These days, the Yun family not only selects disciples in the Yun family, but also selects some disciples in the sect.
Therefore many monks know it.
"Yes. Although the profit from drawing talismans is less, it is more stable and the water flows steadily." Chen Ping said.
"It's good to have a long and steady stream of water. Fellow Daoist Chen has a good foundation. Hey, I was a little anxious to form the elixir back then. Now I can only take frequent risks to gain opportunities." Peak Master Sima thought of his fake elixir again and couldn't help but sigh. .
If it weren't for the countless resources needed to repair the golden elixir, he wouldn't want to go out and take risks often.
Which adventure doesn't involve risking one's life in exchange for the future?
In fact, it is very difficult to convert a fake elixir into a real elixir, and there are very few successful cases.
Even if you try hard, you may not get results.
However, Chen Ping's persistence towards Master Sima is understandable.
One road is a road with an end that can be seen at a glance, and the other is a road that promises eternal life. Even if the chance of the second path is slim and there is only a glimmer of light, it is still an opportunity.
At least it's more exciting than waiting to die.
After Chen Ping said goodbye to Master Sima, he first walked around the four casual cultivation cities accompanied by Yun Lingshan.
The four scattered cultivating cities are managed by the four original cultivating families, and there are no obvious boundaries between the cities. Rogue cultivators can travel freely between the four rogue cultivator cities.
This actually further increases the competition among the scattered repair cities.
The advantages will be further amplified, and the disadvantages will gradually be transformed into 'elimination'.
For example, the four Cultivation Cities originally had robe shops. However, because the Liang family, who was born in Xianhe City, has a heritage of high-quality and systematic robe forging, over the past few decades, the large-scale official robe shops opened by the other three families have been closed one after another. The robe shop is the only one in the family.
Of course, this refers to 'official'.
There are still quite a few unique capsule-type robe shops run by individual cultivators.
Chen Ping is concerned about the Talisman Store.
Because the entry barrier for talismans is low, there are more casual practitioners who can draw talismans. Besides, except for a few official ones, which are of better quality, everyone's skills are pretty much the same.
Therefore, the four major families all have talisman shops.
In an evenly matched stance.
If Chen Ping wants to develop the talisman business, the first step he needs to do is to swallow up all the high-end talisman suppliers of Lingxiao Sect.
This is a necessary step.
The Lingxiao Sect encourages competition and has no problem with this practice. Otherwise, the Liang family would not be able to dominate the robe business in Sanxiu City.
Only then can we further expand external channels.
"There are a large number of casual cultivators in the city. Many casual cultivators do not have specific skills. They need to continue to go out to search for medicinal materials, hunting animals, minerals and other resources. This process consumes the most relatively cheap life-saving property such as talismans. If we can If we take over the entire Sanxiufang City, the income will never be lower than the income from the Liang family's robe business." Yun Lingshan walked beside Chen Ping, full of longing for the future.
Chen Ping smiled and said:
"It's impossible to capture the entire market. Talismans are no better than robes. There are many casual Talisman practitioners in the Qi refining period, and their talismans will also crowd into the market. If we really take this approach, it will only turn into a price war in the end."
"I only want the high-end market..."
Don't compete for jobs with low-end casual cultivators.
In other words, we don’t make low-end products.
No price war.
Only output talismans with higher quality than the market.
It would be good to drown out the official talisman shops of the other three families, or let them only sell low-end goods.
Leaving a way for casual cultivators to survive is also a measure to ensure the vitality of the rogue cultivator city. It is unlikely that the casual cultivating talisman masters will have any faults or all run away.
This is just c to c.
It's just used to build the Yun family's brand effect.
The entire Lingxiao Sect's casual cultivator market is still too small, and you can't make much money from this. In the end, you still have to focus on opening up stable b-to-b channels.
This is the kingly way.
Moreover, this channel is also an important guarantee for the future external sales of high-end medicinal materials.
You can accomplish multiple things with one stone.
"...We'll talk about this later. Now we need to ensure that these Talisman Masters can grow up." Chen Ping has his own ideas about business operations.
At any rate, I have seen cases of dazzling promotions and channel establishment in later generations.
Yun Lingshan's eyes couldn't help but brighten after listening to Chen Ping's description of the sales channels for talismans.
In her impression, Chen Ping spent most of his time practicing.
She had never seen Chen Ping doing business.
I never thought that Chen Ping would have a good understanding of the operation of a talisman shop.
She followed Chen Ping's footsteps:
"Yes. There are already 20 people in the first batch of Talisman Master team. They are all carefully selected. They have passed certain assessments in the early stage, have a certain foundation, and their talents are pretty good."
From Yun Lingshan's introduction, Chen Ping knew that 10 of these 20 people were from the Yun family themselves.
The other 10 people are recruited sect disciples or casual cultivators.
These non-Yun family sect disciples or casual cultivators all came here for Chen Ping's reputation. After all, Chen Ping was the second-level Jindan master of the Lingxiao Sect.
It is a great opportunity to have such a real person impart knowledge in person.
There were a lot of people who signed up initially.
These 10 people are already the best of the best.
These 20 people all swore an oath to serve the Yun family until they achieve a great breakthrough, and the knowledge they have learned will not be mentioned to any outsiders.
As for the big realm breakthroughs, such as Qi training turning into foundation building, or foundation building turning into golden elixir, this can be discussed separately.
But the Yun family's business secrets and talisman knowledge cannot be leaked to the outside world either.
"Among these 20 people, 4 are foundation-building monks and 16 are Qi-refining monks. Lingshan also wants to learn, so Lingshan is also among the 20 people." Yun Lingshan said.
He looked at Chen Ping gently again.
In fact, since Chen Ping and Yun Haitang got together, she has been trying to deliberately maintain a certain distance from Chen Ping.
Even Xiaozhu Peak is rarely visited.
But this time, forming a team of talisman masters was no small matter, and Yun Haitang couldn't focus on it, and specifically asked her to take the lead, so she took on this responsibility in a state of "expectation and hesitation".
At this moment, walking with Chen Ping, I felt the same conflicting emotions of "joy and restraint".
Chen Ping didn't think so much.
His thoughts are all on the talisman:
"Yeah. Your talent is pretty good, and it's quite suitable for you to take the lead. But you have to be careful not to lower your cultivation level. The ultimate goal of all our operations is to improve your cultivation level."
"Go back and start teaching officially."
"Thank you, Senior Chen, for the tip." Yun Lingshan calmed down.
Yun Mansion.
Teach a class.
The moment Chen Ping walked onto the stage, looking at the 20 monks sitting neatly under the stage, he felt like he was back in his student days.
The difference is that I was a student at that time.
And now he is a teacher.
He glanced at the audience. Four foundation-building monks were sitting at the front. In the middle was the bright-eyed Yun Lingshan. Behind them were 16 Qi-refining monks.
Chen Ping had seen some of these monks before, but most of them were monks whom Chen Ping had no impression of.
But everyone obviously knows Chen Ping.
At this moment, everyone is in high spirits and cherish this hard-won opportunity.
Chen Ping cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone who comes here should be the group of monks with the best talisman talents in the territory under the jurisdiction of Lingxiao Sect. I won't go into details. I believe Yun Lingshan has mentioned it to everyone."
"I'll just add one thing."
"The contract you signed with the Yun Family is one that cannot be voluntarily withdrawn from until the great realm is broken through. But this does not mean that the Yun Family cannot take the initiative to terminate the contract. If there are monks who cannot keep up with the progress, the Yun Family will also terminate the service contract."
After saying this, Chen Ping felt that punishment measures alone were not enough. A combination of punishment and rewards was needed, so he added:
"Secondly, as long as you can realize your talents, the rewards you can get here will never be lower than if you work alone or move into other families. In the future, the resources of the Yun family will also be tilted towards you, especially the outstanding ones."
Since punishments and rewards are combined, in order for everyone to work at full capacity and dare to ask if they don’t understand, Chen Ping felt it was necessary to emphasize this, so he continued:
"Thirdly, although I am not a genius, I have been studying Fulu for decades and have spent a lot of energy. If you have any questions, don't restrain yourself and be bold, but there is no harm in asking."
Naturally, classroom discipline should also be emphasized:
"Fourth,"
"."
"Fifth,"
hiss.
This is impossible to stop.
No wonder those teachers like to drag the class a little bit.
I didn't expect that it would be my turn to stand on the podium, and I had a deep understanding of it.
Does this count as the boy who slays the dragon and eventually becomes the evil dragon?
Next comes teaching.
Chen Ping became serious, and all the students in the audience cheered up.
Chen Ping was not prepared to cover everything.
During the Qi refining period, monks can focus on conquering the most commonly used talismans, such as the evil-destroying talisman and the evil-suppressing talisman.
As for the foundation building period, the same is true, giving priority to the evil-killing talisman and the golden armor talisman.
Of course, different monks will be good at understanding different things. For example, some monks may have a strong understanding of the laws of heaven that restrain dark things, so they are suitable for drawing talismans such as evil-breaking talismans.
Some monks are naturally suitable for practicing defensive spells, and they may be more suitable for practicing spells such as the Golden Armor Talisman.
Some monks are light in stature and have far better understanding of escape techniques than ordinary people, so they may be suitable for drawing light body charms.
This needs to be discovered in the process of their practice.
Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and give full play to their respective values.
Chen Ping first taught from the Qi Refining Period Talisman.
His understanding of various talismans has already reached a level that ordinary people cannot reach, and he has learned a lot.
Full of useful information.
Even though they were all talking about Qi Refining Stage Talismans, the five foundation builders did not dare to neglect them at all.
Any words from Chen Ping may benefit them for life.
After explaining the first type of talisman - the Evil-Breaking Talisman for half an hour, Chen Ping did not continue to talk about the second type of talisman, but asked everyone to practice on the spot.
Everyone was a talisman master with certain experience. They immediately started practicing according to Chen Ping's instructions, for fear of forgetting what they had just learned.
"Is there anything unclear?" While everyone was practicing, Chen Ping walked up to Yun Lingshan and turned on a small stove for her.
He only needs to be responsible for the early teaching of the training of Talisman Masters. After the first batch of teachers are released, if everything goes well, there may be a second and third batch.
Chen Ping couldn't keep an eye on the training.
He doesn't have that much time.
In this case, as long as Yun Lingshan can be cultivated, she can play a big role.
Substitute teaching is not a problem at all.
"Yes. Just now, Senior Chen said that when drawing the evil-breaking talisman, the stroke should not be too sharp. What does this mean?" Yun Lingshan asked puzzledly. The strokes of the runes on many books are extremely sharp.
Chen Ping stood beside her, leaning over with his hands behind his hands to look at the talisman she drew, and explained:
"It really shouldn't be too sharp. This is an evil-destroying talisman, not an attacking talisman. What's important is not murderous aura, but to make the runes filled with the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth. This awe-inspiring righteousness is not a violent aura, but what's important is that it is natural."
"These small details are not the details that determine the success or failure of a talisman. You can draw a talisman even if you don't pay attention to these details. But if countless such small details come together, they will determine whether a talisman is an inferior talisman or a superior talisman. It is very powerful. Different, the prices can vary widely.”
"Try to be calm and realize that this stroke is not a talisman, but the awe-inspiring righteousness flowing naturally with the heaven and earth as talisman."
"."
"Thank you, Senior Chen. Lingshan will give it a try."
"."
The supplementary chapter will be late and has not been finished yet. It may be tomorrow morning at the latest, so there’s no need to wait.
