Chapter 782 Restoring Reputation
In Yunhuan City, cultivators come and go, and the scene is prosperous.
The previous scammer incident seems to have passed.
One thousand spiritual stones are really nothing for a Yuanying stage cultivator.
Lin Mu knows very well that the reason why so many deceived cultivators were so angry before was because they all had great expectations for Piaomiao Fairyland. As a result, they bought the jade slips of reception in excitement, but found out that they were fake.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Hate comes from love, that's why.
However, this also shows from the side that his previous efforts were not in vain. The cultivators in Yunhuan City only heard about him and had such high expectations for him.
If things continue to develop smoothly like this, the news of Piaomiao Fairyland will soon spread continuously, and it will be more convenient to sell it in the future.
Moreover, even now, he has already made preparations for the future. Each city only sells about 100,000 jade slips of reception, and there are still most cultivators who have not purchased the jade slips of reception. If he does not expand other new cities in the future, the current cities alone are enough to ensure that the jade slips of reception will definitely sell well in the future and prosper for a long time.
It is obvious that even making jade slips of reception in the future will be an extremely huge project.
Lin Mu is very fortunate that he tried his best to win over the two sisters Xingqing and Xingyu this time, and they will definitely help him share a lot of worries in the future.
Lin Mu has never had any doubts about the prospects of Piaomiao Fairyland.
But this time, it did encounter a crisis.
If the jade slips of reception are sold in Yunhuan City now, who will buy them for 10,000 spirit stones each?
As expected.
It was exactly as Lin Mu expected. In the most prosperous street of Yunhuan City, there was a constant stream of cultivators. No matter how Xu Jiao, Hua Jin, Xing Qing, and Xing Yu, the four beauties, hawked their wares, no one was interested. Many cultivators stood in the distance to watch. Some cultivators passed by and cast a contemptuous look at him, and then left.
Lin Mu's reputation was known to even the cultivators in Yunhuan City.
For the genius who had comprehended the sword domain, no one dared to do anything to him. Even the big forces and the cultivators in the fusion stage were unwilling to establish such a potential enemy unless they had no choice.
No one dared to do anything to Lin Mu, but no one came to buy the jade slips.
Lin Mu knew the importance of reputation, and the current situation made him realize it more deeply.
If he wanted to restore his reputation, he really had to spend a lot of money.
"Before, tens of thousands of cultivators were deceived in Yunhuan City, all because of the jade slips of reception." Lin Mu glanced at the crowd watching from a distance and said loudly, "Now the swindlers have been eliminated by me, please feel free to come and buy, this time the jade slips of reception are all real!"
After the voice fell, the crowd watching from a distance did not move a step.
Lin Mu's face was embarrassed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said again: "After all, this matter was caused by me. To show my sincerity, the cultivators who were deceived before only need to bring the fake jade slips of reception, and they can exchange them for a real jade slip of reception!"
As soon as these words came out, several cultivators in the crowd were immediately moved.
There is such a good thing?
"You bought the fake jade slips of reception before, but it only cost a thousand spirit stones." Lin Mu said with a smile, "In fact, the real jade slips of reception are worth ten thousand spirit stones, which means that you only need to spend a thousand spirit stones to buy the real jade slips of reception."
Several cultivators who were deceived before couldn't help showing a touch of joy on their faces.
Could it be a blessing in disguise?
After being cheated before, everyone was extremely disappointed.
What Lin Mu said now was indeed very tempting.
A cultivator in green clothes was the first to walk out of the crowd and said, "Since I have been cheated once, I will try to change it. If it is real, I will make a lot of money! Even if it is fake, I will not suffer any loss."
Seeing the cultivator in green clothes coming, Lin Mu couldn't help but smile.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once this first step is taken, the following things will become much easier.
"Can it really be exchanged?" The green-clothed cultivator handed over the Qinglan Jade and asked tentatively, "Will you ask me to pay for the spirit stone again later?"
"No." Lin Mu said with a smile, "Lin is a man of his words. He would rather exchange the real for the fake to restore his reputation. In fact, I have suffered more than you, but there is no way now. I can only continue to suffer. I just hope you can see my sincerity."
The green-clothed cultivator was moved, but still said: "Let me take a look at the jade slips of guidance first."
He has always heard of the name of Piaomiao Fairyland, but has never really entered it.
Lin Mu smiled and handed over a jade slip of guidance: "You can practice here and see if you can enter Piaomiao Fairyland and whether you can obtain the cultivation method."
"Practice here directly?" The green-clothed cultivator said in embarrassment, "Didn't they say that the jade slips of guidance need eight hours to be successfully practiced? It's too troublesome to practice here, right?"
"Who said that?" Lin Mu felt a headache.
"The previous liar said that." The green-clothed cultivator said.
Lin Mu suddenly realized something and secretly glanced at Xing Qing, and found that her face was turning red.
With such an excuse, she could cheat calmly without worrying about being exposed. By the time everyone found out, she had already left.
"That's all fake." Lin Mu said immediately, "Just trust me once and practice directly here. With your cultivation level, you can almost succeed in a moment."
The green-clothed cultivator nodded half-doubtfully and began to practice.
In order to avoid being disturbed, Lin Mu waved his hand to help lay down a green shield.
Seeing that the green-clothed cultivator was the first to come over to test the authenticity, many of the cultivators who had been watching from afar were curious about whether it was true or not, and they couldn't help but gradually approach here.
After a moment, the green-clothed cultivator put down the jade slip, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Lin Mu put away the shield and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
"This time it's real!" The green-clothed cultivator looked at the crowd and said excitedly, "I entered the Piaomiao Fairyland. It feels magical and unprecedented. Moreover, I really got a set of skills. Although it is only the seventh grade, not the most rare eighth grade, it is still very good for me."
Yu Yue fanned the flames and said, "It's more than good, it's a big profit! You only spent a thousand spirit stones in total. Whether it is the reception jade slip or the seventh-grade skills, the value is far more than a thousand spirit stones."
Lin Mu was very satisfied after hearing this.
Yu Yue obtained the eighth-grade skills. In the future, he will be at least much stronger than ordinary cultivators. He won him over and he really made the right choice.
The green-clothed cultivator nodded hurriedly, "That's true."
"Can mine be exchanged?" Immediately, a cultivator next to him handed over a fake reception jade slip and looked at Lin Mu and said.
"Of course." Lin Mu took the jade slip with a smile and handed over a real jade slip for guidance.
"These fake jade slips for guidance will be kept by you for the time being." Lin Mu handed both fake jade slips for guidance to Xing Qing.
The second cultivator took the real jade slip for guidance and couldn't wait to start practicing it on the spot. He also gained a small amount of money and obtained a sixth-grade technique. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Two consecutive cultivators obtained the real jade slip for guidance and the technique. The onlookers were all very excited.
The cultivators who bought the fake jade slips for guidance heard the news and began to rush here.
"I don't have a fake jade slip for guidance. I wonder if I can buy the real jade slip directly?" A blue-clothed Yuanying stage cultivator came forward and asked.
"Of course you can. You are most welcome." Lin Mu said with a smile: "One jade slip for guidance costs 10,000 spiritual stones."
The blue-clothed cultivator enviously said: "They bought it for 1,000 spiritual stones, why do we need 10,000 spiritual stones?"
"They were deceived before because of me. Now I am compensating them at a loss." Lin Mu explained, "But for other cultivators, it is still 10,000 spiritual stones per piece."
The blue-clothed cultivator looked around and found that several cultivators who came here were all exchanging fakes for real ones. No one paid for the spiritual stones themselves. He couldn't help but say: "I'll wait and see. . "
"Okay." Lin Mu smiled, "But I want to remind you that I only plan to sell 100,000 jade slips in Yunhuan City. The cultivators who buy fake jade slips alone will exchange for 40,000 to 50,000. The remaining hundreds of thousands of cultivators can only buy about 50,000 jade slips. Now there are still many jade slips, so it is easy to buy. When the scene gets hot, I am afraid that with your cultivation level, you can't squeeze to the front, and it will be difficult to buy at that time. "
The blue-clothed cultivator heard it, pondered for a moment, and took out 10,000 spirit stones and bought one immediately.
He was lucky and got a seventh-grade practice, which is a very good practice for a Yuanying stage cultivator.
Excited, he hurried to tell his friends and asked them to buy it quickly.
According to the information revealed by Lin Mu, it would be too late to buy it.
Soon, one after another, there were cultivators exchanging fakes for real ones, and there were cultivators who bought real jade slips themselves. The crowd gradually gathered and became lively.
Xu Jiao, Hua Jin, and Yu Yue were responsible for selling the real jade slips, while the sisters Xing Qing and Xing Yu were responsible for exchanging the fake for the real.
Seeing Xu Jiao, Hua Jin, and Yu Yue collecting spirit stones, Xing Qing was extremely envious, but she could only keep collecting the fake jade slips and handing over the real jade slips, but she got nothing.
It was not until now that she came to sell the jade slips in person that Xing Qing realized how much loss she had caused to Lin Mu.
Not to mention the priceless reputation, the loss of spirit stones alone was an extremely terrifying number.
Forty to fifty thousand jade slips, Lin Mu could have earned four to five hundred million spirit stones, but now all of them were given away for nothing!
What he got in return were forty to fifty thousand fake jade slips.
Xing Qing felt guilty and secretly decided to compensate Lin Mu in the future.
The scene became more and more lively, and the sale of jade slips gradually became popular, and Lin Mu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Although the loss was not small, the reputation was finally restored.
This kind of loss, now it seems, is just a loss of spirit stones, Lin Mu does not care too much.
He even had a plan. He only needed to leave his spiritual mark on these 40,000 or 50,000 fake jade slips, and they would become real jade slips, and he could still sell them!
In this way, he didn't even lose the spiritual stones.
But the benefits he gained were extremely rich and immeasurable!
