Chapter 841: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
In less than two months, Lin Mu produced more than 5 million jade slips!
Such a speed is really shocking and terrifying.
Only Lin Mu himself can understand the hard work and boredom.
After entering the Piaomiao Fairyland to take a look, Lin Mu clearly found that the number of cultivators in the fairyland increased dramatically, but there was still a gap from the spectacular scene he expected.
Lin Mu immediately went to the Feixian Palace in Qianjin City to find Xu Hong, wanting to ask for clarification.
When he saw Lin Mu, Xu Hong's face was immediately filled with smiles, and he couldn't close his mouth.
"Crazy, too crazy!" Xu Hong was all smiles, very excited, "The Jade Slips of Reception are selling like hot cakes in ten cities! Many cultivators from other cities also came to buy them, and it was hard to get one."
"Piaomiao Fairyland is well-known, and I expected the Jade Slips of Reception to sell like hot cakes." Lin Mu said with a smile, "But I wonder why the number of cultivators in Piaomiao Fairyland has not increased as much as I expected?"
In total, he has made nearly 10 million Jade Slips of Reception. The number of cultivators in Piaomiao Fairyland is increasing day by day, but there is still a certain gap from what he imagined.
"Of course, things have to be done step by step. How can you reach the sky in one step?" Xu Hong said with a smile, "The Jade Slips of Reception are so popular that I strictly limit the speed of selling the Jade Slips of Reception. Each Feixian Palace only sells 5,000 Jade Slips of Reception every day."
Selling 5,000 pieces a day, the ten Feixian Palaces together only sell 50,000 Jade Slips of Reception.
It will take more than 100 days to sell out more than 5 million jade slips, and by then the three-month appointment will have long passed.
Lin Mu couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Why limit it? Now the ten major forces are eyeing us covetously. We must quickly develop our power and sell as many jade slips as possible. Why are you still limiting the sales speed?"
"We are businessmen, so we naturally value profit." Xu Hong explained, "Limiting the sales quantity can make these cultivators more eager for the jade slips. Seeing them go through so much trouble to buy a jade slip is like getting a rare treasure. I am extremely excited and comfortable. What else can I ask for if I can do this in business?"
"No matter how strong their desire is, they will be able to buy it sooner or later, but we can't afford to delay." Lin Mu said anxiously.
"No hurry." Xu Hong said calmly, "I feel that their desire is almost enough, and then I can raise the price!"
"Raise the price?" Lin Mu was surprised.
Xu Hong smiled and nodded: "We spent tens of billions of spirit stones to build these ten Feixian Palaces. Almost all the capital was invested in them. Now it's our turn to recover the cost. Next, I decided to sell each reception jade slip for 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
"Double it again?" Lin Mu asked, "Is it okay?"
He didn't have a strong desire for spirit stones. He just wanted to sell all the reception jade slips as soon as possible, but he couldn't do anything without spirit stones.
He couldn't make up his mind about Xu Hong's decision, but it was also difficult for him to refuse.
"If you can quickly sell these jade slips, I have no objection to you selling them for 30,000 spirit stones each." Lin Mu pondered and said, "If not, then we should sell them as soon as possible and don't raise the price."
Xu Hong shook his head repeatedly and said with good intentions: "You don't understand this. In fact, no matter how many jade slips we sell, the major forces will still take action to destroy our Feixian Palace if they really want to deal with us. No matter how many we sell, it won't change anything."
Lin Mu was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't tell Xu Hong the true details of Piaomiao Fairyland. His original intention was to condense his spiritual consciousness as soon as possible and nurture the peerless sword.
"The reason why I limit the speed of sales is actually to keep a low profile." Xu Hong explained, "The major forces are jealous of us because we make a lot of money. I only sell 5,000 jade slips for each Feixian Palace a day. Although I can earn 50 million spirit stones, it is not too much. Besides, we are not to be bullied, so they will not easily take action for a while."
"Ginger is really shrewd." Lin Mu joked, "Compared to being cunning, I can only look up to you deeply."
Xu Hong remained calm and continued, "Before you were in seclusion, I limited the speed of sales. On the one hand, it was to keep a low profile, and on the other hand, it was to accumulate the desires in the hearts of cultivators. Now that you are out of seclusion, I can raise the price. 20,000 spirit stones are actually not enough for a Yuanying. For cultivators above the stage, it is still easy to take it out, and there will be no limit on the number of sales. If other forces are jealous and dare to take action, you can use thundering means to destroy one of them and kill the chicken to scare the monkey. "
"Your layout is foresighted and you have thought of everything." Lin Mu could only admire and smiled bitterly, "But these forces are deeply rooted, how can I destroy them easily?"
"With a strong foundation, you naturally cannot make too many enemies, otherwise, once you can't destroy them, there will be endless troubles." Xu Hong suggested, "But some forces have begun to decline. The old generation of fusion cultivators have already fallen. Some have been missing for a long time and have not returned for nearly a thousand years. I think they have also fallen. You can find such forces to start with!"
"With your current strength, you should be able to kill a cultivator in the early stage of fusion. How difficult is it to kill a group of cultivators in the Return to Void stage?" Xu Hong asked with a smile.
Lin Mu was speechless.
With Xu Hong, he didn't have to worry too much. Xu Hong had thought of a way out for him.
"Then when will you start selling in large quantities?" Lin Mu asked.
Although the March appointment was only for more than a month, he still wanted to make a breakthrough. Without the peerless sword, he always felt uneasy.
"How about tomorrow?" Xu Hong looked at Lin Mu's anxious eyes and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded repeatedly.
"I saw you in Piaomiao Fairyland, setting up an illusion of secret cave exploration." Xu Hong asked with a smile, "Nowadays, many cultivators are obsessed with this and forget about everything. I guess it takes a lot of effort to set up this illusion. What is the reason for you to do this?"
Lin Mu looked normal and smiled, "Of course, I want thousands of cultivators to become dependent on Piaomiao Fairyland. When they feel that they cannot leave Piaomiao Fairyland, then any force that wants to destroy us will be their enemy!"
"High, this move is really too high!" Xu Hong praised, "Compared with you, my little cleverness is really ashamed. The highest realm of killing is that the enemy falls without you doing it yourself. Your move of killing by borrowing a knife is really wonderful!"
Lin Mu smiled and did not elaborate.
He did this not only to kill by borrowing a knife, but more importantly to strengthen himself.
It is better to ask for help from yourself than to ask for help from others.
It is most practical to control everything in your own hands!
