Chapter 257 Baibao Pavilion (12)
Xiao Qianyu Sword Sect!
Gu Chen's excited words caused a sudden silence in the venue.
After a brief silence, the more than forty disciples reacted immediately and cheered in unison, feeling inexplicably happy.
The current strength of Lake Center Island is comparable to that of Qianyu Sword Sect!
With such a high reputation, the more than 40 disciples were extremely excited and excited.
Lin Mu smiled, but shook his head slightly, noncommittal.
What Gu Chen said is still a bit exaggerated.
Although Lake Center Island is now quite powerful, it is still far from being able to compare with Qianyu Sword Sect.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the golden elixir giants, there are five in Qianyu Sword Sect and none in Lake Center Island.
Such a huge gap is like a chasm, difficult to cross.
The strength of the sect is still more than a hundred times better than that of Huxin Island!
But what Gu Chen said was not unreasonable, and Lin Mu did not correct it.
Although the Qianyu Sword Sect is powerful, it only has five or six hundred foundation-building disciples so far.
There are now fifty foundation building disciples on the island in the middle of the lake!
The number of Spiritual Silence Stage cultivators in the sect is also far greater than that of the island in the middle of the lake. There must be at least a hundred people!
On the island in the middle of the lake, there were only five people, Lin Mu, his parents, Shitou, and Yunmeng, whose strength was comparable to those in the spiritual silence stage.
The gap is equally huge!
In such a comparison, Huxin Island and Qianyu Sword Gate are completely incomparable. They are too far apart.
But Lin Mu was smiling and did not belittle himself.
The current strength of Qianyu Sword Sect is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation.
The fifty foundation-building disciples on the island in the center of the lake were trained in only three or four years.
In addition, Qianyu Sword Sect is located in the fifth-grade Cave Heaven Paradise, but the island in the middle of the lake is only the third-grade Cave Heaven Paradise, which is also a big gap.
Such a huge contrast highlights the strength of Huxin Island.
It only took Lin Mu three years to make the island in the center of the lake reach one-tenth of the strength of the Thousand Feather Sword Sect!
If he is given another fifty years and he, his parents, Shitou, and Yunmeng all form a golden elixir, the strength of Huxin Island will not be much inferior to that of the Thousand Feather Sword Sect, and there will be two to three hundred foundation-building disciples trained by then. , there are at least dozens of disciples in the Lingji period.
What Gu Chen said now is not wrong.
Now that all fifty people have built the foundation, Lin Mu feels much relieved.
He had completed the task that Shi Weihan had promised before, ahead of schedule.
In the next five or six years, he will have free control to practice as he pleases or do other things.
Working hard to improve his cultivation and earn spiritual stones is what he will do next.
If you use elixirs to improve your cultivation, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Mu planned to wait for the next batch of third-grade elixir to mature, refine the elixir, and then work hard to improve his cultivation.
Now that he has some free time this year, he is ready to work hard to earn spiritual stones.
It has been several years since he owed Guyun 600,000 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. He should pay it back, and Lin Mu didn't want to delay it any longer.
Upgrading the Five Elements Ring also requires the purchase of five low-level spiritual materials, which is also a large expense.
In the future, to attack the golden elixir, you will also need to purchase a large amount of resources, and the required spiritual stones will be even more expensive.
Now it is imperative to work hard to earn spiritual stones.
Prepare for a rainy day so that you won't be in a hurry when things come to a close.
Lin Mu has long been concerned about earning spiritual stones.
He now owns three thousand "Fire Bullet Talisman" and fifteen thousand "Explosive Flame Talisman", which can be considered a small fortune.
Lin Mu did not plan to auction these talismans.
He is going to open a store.
This decision was not made on a whim, but after careful consideration.
If you put these talismans and seals up for auction, you can earn spiritual stones quickly, but it won't last long and you will have to pay a certain fee from the auction house.
If you use it to open a store, although the money will come slowly, the money will flow slowly. As long as the management is reasonable, there will definitely be a continuous flow of spiritual stones in the future.
Moreover, Lin Mu is also confident about opening a store.
Just talking about the items for sale, there are many types, and the talisman and seal script are just one of them.
In addition to talismans, Lin Mu can also refine elixirs, which is also a big business opportunity!
Pills are a necessity for cultivators, and their prospects are extremely bright!
In addition, Lin Mu can also refine magical weapons.
Although at his current level, he can refine a medium-grade magic weapon, but it is enough for ordinary practitioners in the foundation building stage.
The magic weapon is too expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Lin Mu decided to start small, accumulate slowly, and not sell high-grade magic weapons for the time being.
Talisman seals, elixirs, and magic weapons are the three items that cultivators need most, and Lin Mu is good at them all. He has an inherent advantage, and at least he doesn't need to worry about insufficient supply. Lin Mu also has some confidence in running this kind of store.
As for other items, Lin Mu also decided to dabble in some.
Such as jade slips.
Selling jade slips is also one of the ways to quickly earn spiritual stones.
Mental techniques, sword techniques, techniques, and miscellaneous jade slips are also valuable.
Although the sect stipulates that the secret knowledge of the sect is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders, Lin Mu is not worried about this.
Mental skills and sword techniques are extremely important to the sect, so Lin Mu will naturally not spread them to outsiders.
However, the techniques are different. Qianyu Sword Sect does not pay too much attention to the techniques. In addition, many techniques are universal and are not unique to the Qianyu Sword Sect. Even the jade slips of magic techniques collected in Qianyu Sword Sect were obtained from other sects.
Lin Mu would naturally not be polite about this, he would sell it first!
Even if the sect pressed him, he would still be able to find a reason to go around.
Also, Lin Mu has collected quite a lot of jade slips over the years.
He had killed many cultivators in the Lingji period before, and there were many jade slips in the storage bag. Their mental skills, sword techniques, and grades were all of high quality.
Lin Mu will not be polite to these jade slips from other sects and will sell them before selling them!
These items are more than enough to open a treasure house.
Lin Mu decided to go to Linwufang to choose a shop and a favorable location in two days.
There is no shortage of supplies, all you need is a qualified operator.
Gu Chen is naturally the best choice.
This is why Lin Mu decided to open a store.
Lin Mu was not very good at doing business, and he didn't put his mind on it.
Gu Chen is different, he has a talent for business.
After decades of hard work, it was really not easy for Gu Chen to earn 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones in the Qianyu Jianmen Baiwu Pavilion.
Two hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones may not be too much for Lin Mu.
But the owner is a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, not a son of a rich family, the grandson of the head of the family, etc. This is enough to cause a sensation.
Lin Mu believed that by leaving the Baibao Pavilion to Gu Chen, he would never have to worry about spiritual stones in the future.
For the needs of a store, Lin Mu now has the most important sources of goods and the best shopkeeper Gu Chen, and the conditions are sufficient.
Although there will be many issues such as store location selection and how to attract customers in the future, Lin Mu is not overly worried.
You have the goods, but are you still worried about not being able to sell them?
Especially these goods are in great demand.
Lin Mu is confident that all these problems can be solved properly.
From now on, he can gradually implement his plan.
The more than forty disciples have not yet calmed down, they are excited and inexplicably excited.
Lin Mu said with a smile: "Xiao Qianyu Sword Sect, the island in the center of the lake is not worthy of such praise now. But if any of you can cultivate to the spiritual silence stage, then you will not be far from Xiao Qianyu Sword Sect. As it is now It’s too early to say.”
All the disciples smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lin Mu chatted with his disciples for a while, and then sent everyone back to their houses to practice quietly.
"Gu Chen, you stay." When the disciples left, Lin Mu said to Gu Chen with a smile.
Gu Chen stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Lin Mu said with a smile on his face: "I know you like running a business. Now there is an opportunity for you to be the shopkeeper. Do you want it?"
"Be the shopkeeper?" Gu Chen asked doubtfully, "Does the master want to open a shop?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "Exactly. I plan to open a Baobao Pavilion in Linwufang, and you will be the shopkeeper, how about it?"
"Why not!" A smile suddenly appeared on Gu Chen's face: "Master, please let me know clearly!"
Lin Mu smiled and said: "I am short of spiritual stones now and want to open a store in Linwufang. With my business level, I am afraid that I will not be able to earn spiritual stones and will lose money. So I am going to let you run it and leave everything to me. You take care of it, I supply all the goods, and you are only responsible for selling to others.”
Gu Chen's face was filled with joy, and he smiled quickly and asked, "Seriously?"
He couldn't believe it was such a good thing.
Gu Chen loves business from the bottom of his heart. Although it is equally boring at times, it is much more interesting than hard work.
He had always dreamed of opening a shop one day.
He worked hard to save spiritual stones, knowing that there was almost no hope of building a foundation, so he only saved 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Not to mention opening a shop, he was not even qualified to leave the sect. If Lin Mu hadn't gone to the sect to recruit a disciple, he would have been doing nothing in his life until he died.
Now that such an opportunity was before him, how could he miss it?
Lin Mu smiled and replied: "It's absolutely true."
Gu Chen was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much, master. This disciple admires you so much. I am in total admiration for you."
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things. Tell me, how should we start?"
Gu Chen put away his smile and said seriously: "To open a store, the most important thing is to have a store. The address of a store can determine whether the business is good or bad. I have never been to Linwufang, and the location selection needs to be considered in the long term. In addition, you Are you planning to rent a shop or buy one?”
Lin Mu said with a smile: "What do you think?"
"If you ask me, it's better to buy a store." Gu Chen said seriously: "If you want to have a long-term business, it is more cost-effective to buy a store, and it can also save a lot of trouble. If you rent a store, the business will be booming in the future, and others will take over. There is nothing we can do about going to the store. All our efforts in running it have been in vain, so we might as well buy one ourselves.”
Gu Chen wanted to run the business for a long time, so he naturally hoped that Lin Mu could buy one.
Lin Mu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll do as you say."
Although buying a store can save you a lot of trouble, it also costs a lot of money.
In Linwufang, every inch of land must be fought for. If you buy a shop in a prosperous area, you will need a lot of spiritual stones.
He now only has 110,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which is probably not enough.
Gu Chen seemed to notice Lin Mu's hesitation and said with a smile: "I have 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which can be given to the master in case of emergency."
Lin Mu looked at Gu Chen with a smile on his face: "There is a shortage of spiritual stones now, so I won't be polite to you. Don't worry, the store will be on the right track in the future, and it will be your benefit. Two hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, I will definitely pay you back in full, and you won’t be short of a piece of it.”
Gu Chen said with a smile: "There is no need for this. Although I am the shopkeeper, it is still the same as in Baiwu Pavilion. I will take one of the spiritual stones I earn, and the rest will belong to you."
Lin Mu would naturally not refuse such a proposal.
If you give, you will be rewarded.
Lin Mu agreed with what Gu Chen said, he would not squeeze the labor of his disciples, enslave his disciples, and earn spiritual stones for him for free like Shi Weihan did. Now he doesn't contribute much to opening the store. Gu Chen takes care of everything. He works hard and only gets 10% of the profit. Gu Chen's request is too low.
"Okay!" Lin Mu smiled and said, "If business is good in the future, I will increase the price for you."
Gu Chen smiled and nodded. Lin Mu had no selfish intentions towards him, which was much better than him being called around at the door.
Moreover, he believed that what he earned in Linwufang would definitely be better than that in Baiwu Pavilion.
After the two of them discussed it, Lin Mu went back to the house and said goodbye to his parents.
Lin's father and Lin's mother naturally fully supported Lin Mu's decision, and both of them agreed.
Afterwards, Lin Mu took Gu Chen and flew to Linwufang.
