Chapter 257 Treasure Pavilion (1/2)
Little Qianyu Sword Sect!
Gu Chen's excited words made the place quiet immediately.
After a short silence, more than 40 disciples reacted and cheered in unison, feeling inexplicably happy.
The current strength of Huxin Island can be compared with that of Qianyu Sword Sect!
With such a great reputation, more than 40 disciples were extremely excited.
Lin Mu smiled, but shook his head slightly, not making any comment.
What Gu Chen said was still a little exaggerated.
Although Huxin Island is now powerful, it is still far from being comparable to Qianyu Sword Sect.
Let alone other things, just talking about the Jindan giants, Qianyu Sword Sect has five, while Huxin Island has none.
Such a huge gap is like a chasm, which is 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 without reason, and Lin Mu did not correct it.
Although the Qianyu Sword Sect is strong, it has only five or six hundred foundation-building disciples so far.
There are now fifty foundation-building disciples on the Lake Heart Island!
The number of spiritual solitude cultivators in the sect is also far greater than that of the Lake Heart Island, at least a hundred people!
On the Lake Heart Island, only Lin Mu, his parents, Shitou, and Yunmeng are comparable to spiritual solitude cultivators.
The gap is also huge!
In this comparison, the Lake Heart Island and the Qianyu Sword Sect are completely incomparable, the difference is too great.
But Lin Mu smiled and did not belittle himself.
The current strength of the Qianyu Sword Sect is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation.
The fifty foundation-building disciples on the Lake Heart Island were cultivated in just three or four years.
In addition, the Qianyu Sword Sect is located in the fifth-grade cave heaven blessed land, while the Lake Heart Island is only the third-grade cave heaven blessed land, which is also a big gap.
Such a huge contrast shows the strength of the Lake Heart Island.
Lin Mu only took three years to make the strength of Lake Heart Island reach one-tenth of Qianyu Sword Sect!
If he is given another fifty years, he, his parents, Shitou, Yunmeng and the other five people will all form golden elixirs, and the strength of Lake Heart Island will not be much inferior to Qianyu Sword Sect. By then, there will be two or three hundred disciples in the foundation-building stage, and at least dozens of disciples in the spiritual silence stage.
What Gu Chen said now is not wrong.
Now that all fifty people have built their foundations, Lin Mu feels relieved.
He has completed the task promised to Shi Weihan in advance.
In the next five or six years, he can freely use it to practice as he pleases, or do other things.
Working hard to improve his cultivation and earn spiritual stones are what he will do next.
If the cultivation is improved with elixirs, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Mu plans to refine elixirs after the next batch of third-grade spiritual medicines mature, and then work hard to improve his cultivation.
Now that he has more free time this year, he is ready to work hard to earn spiritual stones.
It has been several years since Lin Mu owed Gu Yun 600,000 low-grade spirit stones, and it is time to pay it back. He does not want to delay any longer.
To upgrade the Five Elements Ring, he needs to purchase five kinds of low-grade spirit materials, which is also a huge expense.
In the future, he will need to purchase a large amount of resources to achieve the Golden Core, and the spirit stones required will be even more expensive.
It is imperative to work hard to earn spirit stones now.
Prepare for a rainy day, so that you will not be in a rush when the time comes.
Lin Mu has already planned to earn spirit stones.
He now owns 3,000 "Fire Bomb Talismans" and 15,000 "Explosive Flame Talismans", which is considered a small fortune.
Lin Mu does not plan to auction these talismans.
He plans to open a store.
This decision was not made on a whim, but after careful consideration.
Although these talismans can earn spirit stones quickly by auctioning, they are not long-lasting, and the auction house will charge a certain fee.
If you use it to open a shop, although the money will come slowly, it will be a long-term flow. As long as the management is reasonable, the spiritual stones will definitely continue to flow in the future.
Moreover, Lin Mu is full of confidence in opening a shop.
There are many types of items sold, and talismans are just one of them.
In addition to talismans, Lin Mu can also refine pills, which is also a great business opportunity!
Pills are a necessity for cultivators, and the prospects are extremely broad!
In addition, Lin Mu can also refine magic tools.
Although his current level can only refine medium-grade magic tools, it is enough for ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
Too expensive magic tools are not affordable for ordinary people.
Lin Mu decided to start from a small scale and accumulate slowly, and not sell high-grade magic tools for the time being.
Talismans, pills, and magic tools are the three items that cultivators need the most, and Lin Mu is also good at them. He has an innate advantage and at least does not need to worry about the problem of insufficient supply. Lin Mu is also certain about running this kind of shop.
As for other items, Lin Mu also decided to dabble in some.
For example, jade slips.
Selling jade slips is also one of the ways to quickly earn spirit stones.
Mental skills, sword skills, magic skills, and miscellaneous jade slips are also valuable.
Although the sect stipulates that the sect’s unique skills cannot be passed on to outsiders, Lin Mu is not worried about this.
Mental skills and sword skills are extremely important to the sect, so Lin Mu will naturally not pass them on to outsiders.
But the magic is different. Qianyu Sword Sect does not attach too much importance to magic. In addition, many magics are universal and not unique to Qianyu Sword Sect. Even the magic jade slips collected by Qianyu Sword Sect are all obtained from other sects.
In this regard, Lin Mu will naturally not be polite and sell them first!
Even if the sect asks him, he can find a reason to deal with it.
In addition, Lin Mu has collected a lot of jade slips himself over the years.
He killed many spiritual solitude cultivators before, and there are many jade slips in his storage bag, with mental methods, sword tactics, and grades.
These jade slips from other sects, Lin Mu will not be polite, sell them first!
These items are more than enough to open a treasure pavilion.
Lin Mu decided to go to Linwufang in two days to choose a store and choose a favorable location.
There is no shortage of supply, what is needed is a qualified operator.
Gu Chen is naturally the best choice.
This is also the reason why Lin Mu decided to open a store.
Lin Mu was not very good at business, and he did not put his mind on it.
Gu Chen was different, he had a talent for business.
After decades of hard work, he could earn 200,000 low-grade spirit stones in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion of Qianyu Sword Sect. Gu Chen was really not simple.
200,000 low-grade spirit stones may not be a lot for Lin Mu.
But the owner is a Qi Refining cultivator, not a rich kid or the grandson of the head of the sect, which is enough to cause a sensation.
Lin Mu believed that if he handed the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to Gu Chen, he would definitely not have to worry about spirit stones in the future.
For the needs of a store, Lin Mu now has the most important source of goods and the best shopkeeper Gu Chen, and the conditions are sufficient.
Although there will be many problems such as store location selection and how to attract customers, Lin Mu is not overly worried.
If there are goods, why worry about not being able to sell them?
Especially these goods, there is a huge demand.
Lin Mu is confident that he can solve all these problems properly.
From now on, he can gradually implement his plan.
More than 40 disciples were still excited and excited.
Lin Mu said with a smile: "Xiao Qianyu Sword Sect, such praise is not worthy of Huxin Island now. But if anyone among you can cultivate to the Lingji period, then you are not far from Xiao Qianyu Sword Sect. It is too early to say so now."
All the disciples smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lin Mu chatted with the disciples for a while, and then sent everyone back to their rooms to practice in peace.
"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 smiled and said: "I know you like 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 store?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "That's right. I plan to open a treasure pavilion in Linwufang, how about you being the shopkeeper?"
"Why not!" Gu Chen smiled immediately: "Please let me know, Master!"
Lin Mu smiled and said: "I am short of spiritual stones now, and I want to open a store in Linwufang. With my management level, I am afraid that I can't make spiritual stones and will lose money. So I plan to let you run it, and you will take care of all matters. I will supply all the goods, and you will only be responsible for selling them."
Gu Chen was extremely happy, and asked with a smile: "Really?"
Such a good thing, he really couldn't believe it.
Gu Chen loved business from the bottom of his heart. Although it was also boring sometimes, it was much more interesting than hard practice.
Before, he had always dreamed that one day he could open a store.
He tried his best to save up spirit stones, knowing that he had almost no hope of building a foundation, and only saved up 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. Not to mention opening a store, he didn't even have the qualifications to leave the sect. If it weren't for Lin Mu going to the sect to accept disciples, he would have lived a mediocre life until he died.
Now that such an opportunity is in front of him, how can he miss it?
Lin Mu smiled and replied, "Absolutely true."
Gu Chen was delighted and said, "Thank you, Master. I admire you very much and I bow down to you."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking about these useless things. Tell me, how should we start?"
Gu Chen put away his smile and said seriously, "The most important thing for opening a store is to have a store. The address of a store can determine whether the business is good or bad. I have not been to Linwufang, and the location selection needs to be considered carefully. In addition, do you plan to rent a store or buy one?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"If you ask me, it's best to buy one." Gu Chen said seriously, "If you want to have a long-term business, it's more cost-effective to buy a store, and it can save a lot of trouble. If you rent a store, the business will be booming in the future, and others will take over the store. We can't do anything about it. All our previous efforts will be in vain. It's better to buy one ourselves."
Gu Chen wants to run a long-term business, so he naturally hopes that Lin Mu can buy one.
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's do as you say."
Buying a shop can save a lot of trouble, but it is also expensive.
In Linwufang, every inch of land is fought for. If you buy a shop in a prosperous area, you will need a lot of spirit stones.
He only has 110,000 low-grade spirit stones now, which is far from enough.
Gu Chen seemed to see Lin Mu's hesitation and said with a smile: "I have 200,000 low-grade spirit stones on me, which can also be given to Master in case of emergency."
Lin Mu looked at Gu Chen and smiled: "Now there is a shortage of spirit stones, so I won't be polite to you. Don't worry, the store will be on the right track in the future, and you will benefit a lot. The 200,000 low-grade spirit stones will be returned in full, and you will not lose a single one."
Gu Chen smiled and said: "No need to do so. Although I am the shopkeeper, it is still the same as in Baiwu Pavilion. I will take one tenth of the spirit stones earned, and the rest will all belong to you."
Lin Mu would naturally not refuse such a proposal.
There is a reward for every effort.
Lin Mu agreed with what Gu Chen said. He would not exploit the labor of his disciples and enslave his disciples to earn spirit stones for him for free like Wei Han did at the same time. Now that he opened the shop, he didn't do anything. Everything was left to Gu Chen. He worked hard and only took 10% of the profit. Gu Chen's request was too low.
"Okay!" Lin Mu smiled and said, "If the business is good in the future, I will increase the price for you."
Gu Chen smiled and nodded. Lin Mu had no selfish feelings for him, which was much better than him being ordered around in 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 mother naturally fully supported Lin Mu's decision, and they both agreed.
Then, Lin Mu took Gu Chen and flew to Linwufang.
