Chapter 232: Establishing an Industry, a New Life for Changchunmen
"Dedicate your life to the sect..."
Lin Chen muttered silently, then shook his head and said seriously:
"I didn't have this idea..."
"If the Changchun Sect is destroyed, the most I can do is save the people I care about. It would be the best to continue the sect's incense..."
"Changchun Sect is not my sect alone. What senior brother can do is to preserve some hope for the revitalization of Changchun Sect in the future."
After hearing this, Jiang Liqian breathed a sigh of relief.
If it is just to preserve the continuation of the Changchun Sect's bloodline, it will not be difficult, let alone not getting deeply involved.
What Jiang Liqian was afraid of was that Lin Chen would fight for the sect against the underworld.
Even though Jiang Liqian knew that Lin Chen had outstanding strength and amazing talent.
But fighting against the Kingdom of Hades at this point in time is still like mantis trying to beat a chariot.
Jiang Liqian thought for a while and said:
"Senior Brother, according to what Junior Sister sees, the main strategy of the Demon Sect is still to advance westward. Within a few years, the Changchun Sect should not be in danger of being destroyed."
"But in a few years, if the Demon Sect frees its hands, the Changchun Sect will be in danger."
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this. The Demon Sect's recent strategic plan is indeed to push westward.
A few days ago, news of the occupation of Huguang Town came.
The Hu family and the Guang family fled early, and other small families in the town also moved westward.
The Demon Sect captured the entire Hu Guang Town without much effort.
After taking Hu Guang Town, the westernmost point of Hades Kingdom is only more than 60,000 miles away from Humanity City.
Perhaps they will continue to push part of the territory westward, and eventually return to attack Yan Lai's territory.
At this time, Jiang Liqian said again:
"If senior brother wants to buy a house for Changchun Gate in the city, junior sister has some ideas."
Lin Chen blinked after hearing this and asked, "Oh? What do you think, Junior Sister Jiang?"
Jiang Liqian thought for a while and said:
"Junior sister has some connections in Tiandao City. A few years ago, an uncle told me that he had a spiritual mountain near Tiandao City."
"The mountain is only three thousand miles away from Daocheng. It is two to three hundred feet high and has a radius of ten miles."
"The mountain is full of spiritual energy. It was originally used as a medicine garden. All kinds of facilities are also available...The most important thing is that the mountain has a medicine garden certificate."
Medicine Garden Certificate!
Lin Chen's heart moved after hearing this.
There is no unclaimed land within ten thousand miles of Wendao City.
Every river and every mountain is the property of Daocheng.
Even if it is a barren mountain, if it is used by other forces without proof, it is asking for trouble.
Only by purchasing the authority certificate can it be used by other forces.
This proof is also very particular.
A sect license is required to open a sect, and a mine license is required to open a mine.
Since the mountain has a medicine garden certificate, it can only open a medicine garden but not a sect.
"Junior sister, how much spirit stones are you willing to sell for that mountain you mentioned?" Lin Chen asked with some excitement.
Just opening a shop in the city is not enough without land.
Opening a utensil shop requires a mine, opening an elixir shop also requires sources of medicinal materials, and you must plant your own medicine garden.
Otherwise, the cost is too high.
After hearing this, Jiang Liqian said:
"The specific price is not known yet, but the market price is generally around 1.5 million spirit stones. It is only lower than the market price..."
Lin Chen looked happy when he heard this and said:
"Okay, if that's the case, then let's trouble Junior Sister!"
Jiang Liqian shook her head and said:
"It's not troublesome. I'm half a disciple of the Changchun Sect, so I should contribute."
"Senior brother, if you have time later, just come to me and play chess."
…
Early the next morning, Lin Chen took a few people to Yaxing in the north of the city to purchase real estate.
I bought two houses with two entrances and two small shops in the market.
The three million spirit stones were spent, but it was considered as leaving some property for Changchun Sect in Dao Dao City.
If the sect disciples come to the city in the future, they will have a place to stay.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
During these days, Han Jihai summoned back the disciples and elders from his sect who came to Dao Dao City one by one.
Fortunately, these disciples and elders have only been away from the sect for a few years, and their kindness is still there.
Seeing that Changchunmen had purchased some properties in the city, he was also ready to come back and serve.
It's better than opening the door to protect the courtyard for other forces in the city.
Lin Chen bought two shops in the name of Changchun Gate.
An alchemy shop was opened, selling elixirs.
With Master Han Jihai as the boss, several fellow apprentices also have a place to live and can refine elixirs in the city for their spiritual needs.
The other room is the formation shop. Brothers Li Zhenqian and Li Fengping, as well as other elders and disciples in the sect, also work in the shop.
The way of the alchemy formation is extremely profound.
Although Lin Chen opened two stores, the business was not good.
Changchunmen is good at formations, but they are only among the best in small places like Yan Laijing.
But when we arrived in Dao Dao City, there were too many formation masters who were good at setting up formations, and there were even formation shops opened by Dao Dao Sect.
Therefore, the formations sold by the elders of the Changchun Sect, excluding the cost and materials, are only profitable enough to support the daily practice of more than a dozen disciples and elders.
As for Danpu, it is even worse.
Master Han Jihai is considered a third-level alchemist, and he is not bad in Tao Dao City.
However, the eldest sister and third senior brother's alchemy skills are only ordinary, and the younger junior brother is still new to the art and is not good at alchemy either.
Moreover, the cost of medicinal materials required for elixir refining is extremely high. Profitability from purchasing medicinal materials and refining elixirs cannot even guarantee the practice of several golden elixir monks.
One month after opening the store, the proceeds are liquidated.
Zhenpu can still guarantee basic profits, but Danpu still suffers a slight loss.
…
Until this day, Jiang Liqian found Lin Chen.
"Senior Brother Lin, the uncle and I have already explained the opening of the medicine garden as mentioned before."
"This is the certificate from the medicine garden... can you take a look?"
Jiang Liqian handed over a wooden box.
Lin Chen opened the wooden box and took a look. In addition to a jade slip certificate and the medicine mountain sale contract, there was also a token to activate the medicine mountain formation.
"Okay! Junior sister...how many spiritual stones are there in this medicine garden?" Lin Chen looked happy. With this medicine garden, the alchemy shop in the city will be much better.
Jiang Liqian said: "The medicine garden has been abandoned for many years, and my uncle is eager to sell it... One million spiritual stones will suffice."
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows after hearing this. One million spirit stones was really a bargain.
It was at least 30% to 40% lower than he expected.
Therefore, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and quickly signed the contract.
After getting the address of the medicine garden and the token certificate, Lin Chen took his master and several Jindan elders there that day.
After flying three thousand miles, Lin Chen saw a green and lush medicinal mountain dozens of miles away.
The entire medicine mountain is shrouded in a huge formation, indicating that the mountain is owned.
After entering the medicine mountain, Lin Chen and others inspected it carefully.
Indeed, as Jiang Liqian said, this medicine mountain has been abandoned for a long time, but the spiritual energy is still sufficient and can be used again.
When it comes to farming and cultivating spirits, Han Jihai is the best at it.
As soon as he entered the medicine garden, Han Jihai became busy.
First, we found and counted the field records of Yaoshan.
Then Han Jihai traveled throughout the medicinal mountain and measured every inch of land.
Been busy all afternoon.
In the evening, when the master and disciples were having dinner, Han Jihai couldn't help but said:
"Chen'er, this mountain of medicine... did you buy it for one million spiritual stones?"
Lin Chen nodded, took a piece of spiritual food and said:
"That's right, it was sold by one of Junior Sister Jiang's elders. He seems to be in a hurry to sell..."
"What's wrong with this medicine mountain?"
Han Jihai clapped his hands and said:
"The problem is too big! This medicine mountain...one million spiritual stones, what is the difference between this and robbing?"
"I spent the whole afternoon exploring this medicine mountain today."
"The entire mountain has a total of more than 300 acres of spiritual fields. Among them, nearly 100 acres of upper-grade spiritual fields, 120 acres of medium-grade spiritual fields, and more than 80 acres of lower-grade spiritual fields..."
"In addition, there are hundreds of acres of wasteland that can be opened up, and a spiritual spring..."
Han Jihai said a lot in one breath, which made Lin Chen feel a little dizzy.
So he asked:
"Master, just tell me... is this mountain of medicine good or bad?"
Han Jihai sighed and said:
"Great! Okay, I almost thought there was something wrong with this!"
"These days, I have carefully studied the medicine mountains sold by Daocheng. This kind of medicine mountain, which is close to a hundred acres of high-grade spiritual fields, is a high-grade medicine mountain."
"This medicine mountain, if the market is good, is worth at least three million spiritual stones. Even if you are eager to sell it, you can sell it for two million spiritual stones..."
"You really made a big mistake with your one million spiritual stones!"
Lin Chen nodded silently after hearing this, with a vague guess in his mind.
"Master, don't worry so much. This medicine mountain will be our Changchun Gate's property from now on."
"As long as there is no problem with our spiritual contract... just run this medicine garden!"
Han Jihai nodded after hearing this, and sighed after a while:
"Oh, in more than two hundred years... I have never fought such a rich war!"
"As expected of a Taoist sect, even a low-grade spiritual field... is more than twice as good as the best spiritual field in Changchun Sect!"
In addition to the skills of the spiritual cultivation monks, the most important thing in cultivating elixirs is naturally the spiritual fields.
Needless to say, Han Jihai's methods of raising spirits need not be described.
In this Taoist City, his alchemy skills were only average.
But when it comes to spiritual cultivation skills, I'm afraid there aren't many in the entire Taoist City who can match it.
Lin Chen entered the medicine mountain and discovered that it was located in the core of Qingzhou, only three thousand miles away from Daodao City.
Plenty of spiritual energy, sufficient earth veins...
There is a spirit gathering array on the medicine mountain, and it is also where the earth veins and spiritual springs gather.
For countless years, the spiritual field has been nourished by spiritual energy and earth veins, and the quality of the medicinal field is extremely high.
If the medicinal fields are good, the elixirs grown will be of high quality and mature for a long time.
For example, Han Jihai needed to ripen for three months in Changchun Mountain before he could obtain a hundred-year-old elixir.
But in this mountain of medicine, the hundred-year-old elixir only needs one month to be matured.
By then, the quality of the refined elixir will naturally be much better!
"This spiritual field in Daocheng is a precious resource!"
"In comparison, the quality of the spiritual fields in Gaowu World is too poor... Only the dozens of tons of dragon blood spiritual soil brought back before can be used."
"Not to mention compared to this Yaoshan Mountain, it is much different from Changchun Mountain."
There is nothing we can do about it.
It has only been more than 20 years since Daxia introduced spiritual energy.
The land has been nourished by spiritual energy, although it is much more fertile than before.
But how can it compare to the soil that is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years old in the world of immortality?
Thinking of this, an idea inevitably came into Lin Chen's mind.
"How about... moving the soil from the world of cultivation back to the world of Gaowu?"
