Chapter 137: Casual Cultivators Are Our Potential Members
"City Lord, you are finally here. Why don't you see Old Lin? Isn't he trying to give you a surprise in secret?"
Led by Han Zhao, the two came to the shop that buys ancient books - the second floor of the teahouse opposite.
Xu Qiyun and his party were drinking tea here, while observing the business opposite.
Seeing Fang Chen coming, Xu Qiyun was the first to greet him. After greeting him, he looked around and looked for Lin Qingshan.
"Deputy City Lord Lin wanted to solve the problem of the mother-child jade slips, so he went to study on his own."
Han Zhao, who was following behind, answered the question for Fang Chen.
"City Lord."
At this time, the other people in the room also stood up and saluted Fang Chen, and he returned the salute one by one.
"Okay, sit down."
Fang Chen smiled and waved his hand, asking everyone to return to their seats, and then walked to the window, just in time to see the shop that buys ancient books.
Book Collection Pavilion.
It's a straightforward name.
"There are quite a lot of people here, but where did they find so many ancient books?"
Looking at the long line below, everyone brought more than one book, and there were bamboo slips, cow and sheep skins, brocade and so on.
Paper books were rarely seen.
"How can there be so many ancient books? Most of them are forged. It is also considerate to consider that printing technology has only matured in the last few decades, so paper books are rarely taken."
Xu Qiyun took a sip of tea and replied with a smile.
"Then the work of distinguishing the authenticity must be very troublesome, right?"
Fang Chen felt a little sympathetic to the clerk below.
But after a closer look, he was quite familiar with this clerk. It was He Shan, He Hai and He Lai.
But it seems that they are not responsible for the work, but they are responsible for personally receiving guests when they come to the door.
Most of these wealthy families came at the invitation of the He family, and it is also appropriate for the three of them to come forward.
"Why do we need to distinguish? As long as the content is not fabricated, the library will not refuse anyone."
Xu Qiyun took another sip of tea, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"What are you planning?"
Hearing him say this, Fang Chen knew that he had other plans, so he did not argue with him, but directly asked the reason.
"Anyway, we will only exchange these ancient books with the unimproved Five Elements Formula, and there is only the general outline, not including the cultivation method of the Qi training period, why not?"
Xu Qiyun talked about what he used to exchange these ancient books, which was the version of the Five Elements Formula that Fang Chen practiced at the beginning.
It is a common existence in the cultivation world.
"Although there is no loss, we don't have much benefit, right? Well, these books can add some background to Yuehua Xiancheng."
In fact, it is not only that there is no benefit, but putting all the books into the library without discrimination will also increase the reading difficulty of residents.
Even if there are real ancient books, and they really involve content related to the practice, they will be drowned by the vast amount of false information and become difficult to find.
The only benefit may be that the residents of the fairy city have more books to read.
"Of course there are benefits. After obtaining the skills, you have to try to practice. The city lord said that if you don't rely on cheating methods, even the poorest talents can sense the spiritual energy within five months and enter the threshold of refining the spirit, unless they have no spiritual roots."
When Xu Qiyun said this, Fang Chen already understood what he meant.
"Are you creating potential customers for the Moon Goddess Market?"
If you have the skills, you will definitely try to practice, otherwise why bother to exchange with ancient books?
Once they start practicing, they become customers of the Moon Goddess Market.
This is inevitable.
The people who exchanged are from nearby. After practicing, as long as they have a need for various materials, they can only come to the Moon Goddess Market to buy them.
So they become customers of the market.
At the same time, their existence will also become a natural publicity for the market.
If the outsiders are not used to the contribution and think it is a scam, they will gradually believe it when they see that these people can buy everything in the market with their contributions.
"The city lord is smart, and he has seen through my thoughts."
Xu Qiyun put down the teacup and flattered Fang Chen.
"Hahaha, you are still awesome."
Fang Chen laughed up to the sky for a while, then shook his head and praised Xu Qiyun's wisdom.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind Wang Shijie, Han Zhao, Deng Mingtong, Li Ran and Zhao Gan in the room, saying: "This is the skill of your Master Xu. Learn well. When you have his realm, each of you can manage a fairy city on your own."
"Thank you for your teachings, Lord Emperor."
Several people looked at each other and knew that Fang Chen was not talking about this matter as the Lord of Yuehua Fairy City, but as the Lord Emperor.
As residents of the fairy city, they have never forgotten their identity as descendants of the fairy dynasty, and they also know that Lord Emperor will rebuild the fairy dynasty one day.
The fairy dynasty definitely has more than one fairy city.
Lord Emperor promised them the position of the future lord of the fairy city.
So they also stood up quickly and saluted Fang Chen in front of the window solemnly.
"No need to be polite."
Seeing that the five people understood what he meant, Fang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
After meeting Long Jia, a living fossil from the Immortal Dynasty, Fang Chen was no longer afraid that his fabricated identity as the emperor's son would be exposed.
Occasionally, he would use this identity to hint at something.
Like now.
Before crossing over, he didn't like to make big promises.
Now he understands that he just doesn't like people making big promises.
It feels good to draw cakes for others.
"The Lord of the City has promoted me. I just lived a little longer and have experience in some things."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Qiyun couldn't stop the smile on his face. He first said a few words of humility, and then said to his students: "The city of Yueshenfang is of great importance. The city lord has entrusted this place to you, and you also Don’t live up to the city lord’s expectations.”
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me."
The five people saluted respectfully to Xu Qiyun who was sitting there.
"Then let me test you again. Your husband has been attracted by you to get the first batch of customers, but they have not contributed. What kind of work are you going to arrange so that they can earn contributions?"
This is a very critical issue. The biggest shortcoming of Luna City is that there is no place nearby to earn spiritual stones.
For example, in Lianyunfang City, there is no need to worry about this problem. Casual cultivators venture into the Lianyun Mountains and will gain a lot as long as they come out alive.
Then exchange these harvests for spiritual stones to buy everything you need.
That's why Lunafang City uses contributions to replace spirit stones.
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, the scene instantly became quiet.
It's not that a few people don't have ideas. Since they plan to manage Yueshenfang City, of course they all have a certain understanding. They are just wondering who will say it.
After a moment of silence, Li Ran took a step forward and said, "I am the eldest here, so let me explain."
Seeing both Fang Chen and Xu Qiyun nodding, he continued: "The residents of Yueshenfang City have all moved to Xianju. The one thousand acres of land outside has only been used for three hundred acres so far. We are planning to use the rest of the land. Cultivate it into a spiritual field and let the casual cultivators take care of it."
"Do you all think so too?"
Fang Chen did not comment on this answer.
That's not to say it's impossible, but it's too routine and the positions available are limited.
A monk at the first level of Qi training can take care of five acres of spiritual land. Seven hundred acres of spiritual land can only provide jobs for 140 casual cultivators.
And when their cultivation level improves, the competition will obviously become more intense.
When asking the question, Fang Chen also glanced at the five people, but no one dared to look at him.
Except, Zhao Qian.
"City Lord, I have a different idea."
After looking at Fang Chen, Zhao Qian expressed his thoughts as if he had made up his mind.
"Tell me and listen."
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, wanting to know what unique insights he had.
"Several seniors regard casual cultivators as outsiders and can only arrange work in Yueshenfang City. This is indeed difficult. The seniors' plan is the optimal solution."
Zhao Qian paused and continued: "But I feel that casual cultivators are our potential members."
