Chapter 268 It's a matter of course
Wanbao Building is a three-story building with simple but elegant interior furnishings, giving it an antique charm.
The shopkeeper, Jin Dabao, is a late-stage foundation-building monk. He looks very much in line with what ordinary people think of a businessman. He has a friendly smile on his round face, a sassy mustache, and a round figure.
When you put it in that direction, it has the smell of harmonious energy and wealth.
Wanbaolou does business in the same way as Yunshuilou, which is to engage in the high-end market.
The worst ones here are also the second-level ones, focusing on third-level spiritual objects, elixirs, magic weapons, and magic talismans, and there are also good fourth-level items.
Gao Xian was very interested in Wanbao Tower. He asked many questions, but Jin Dabao could explain them clearly and seemed very frank and generous.
Lu Jingxu occasionally interjected a few words, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Jin Dabao has heard about this rising star of the Qingyun Sect for a long time. When he saw him today, Jin Dabao felt that there was no real person under the fame, and the sage's conversational style was indeed extraordinary.
The Qingyun Sect's generation is led by siblings Yun Qingxuan and Yun Qiushui, but both of them are too arrogant and offend others without knowing it.
Gao Xian is also suave, but he doesn't have that kind of arrogance. He makes people feel very comfortable when he comes into contact with him. He is a person who can talk and do things.
Lu Jingxu saw that the two of them were chatting very enthusiastically, so she made an excuse and left first.
When Lu Jingxu left, Gao Xian also turned to the topic, "Shopkeeper Jin, have you watched "The Legend of White Snake"?"
Jin Dabao chuckled and said, "I have read this masterpiece, it is wonderful, really wonderful."
As he spoke, he raised his fleshy thumb, with a look of admiration on his fat face.
"What do you think about selling "The Legend of White Snake" to outsiders?" Gao Xian asked.
Jin Dabao's smile faded, and he said that it was okay to say a few nice words, but when it came to business, he couldn't talk nonsense.
He pondered for a moment and said: "The books written by Taoist friends are all wonderful, but these books are very easy to copy and the price is very low. We don't have a library in Wanbao Tower..."
Jin Dabao looked embarrassed. He didn't say anything, but he believed Gao Xian could understand what he meant.
Gao Xian smiled. He had already guessed that Jin Dabao would refuse before he came, and was well prepared for this.
"Shopkeeper Jin has read "The Legend of White Snake". Do you want to read the story behind it?"
“Well, it's very attractive.” Jin Dabao was pragmatic. He couldn't stop reading The Legend of White Snake and was looking forward to the story behind it.
Gao Xian said: "A continuous and interesting story will form a stickiness and attract a large number of loyal readers. When we have the power to distribute continuous stories, we can charge reasonable fees for various terminal channels..."
As a salesperson, Gao Xian's performance is not good, but he has learned a lot of various messy sales theories.
How to use content as the core to open up channels, build brands, cultivate user stickiness, and output various opinions at once.
Jin Dabao, as the manager of Wanbao Tower, has seen the world. Still the same problem, this is a world with closed information, and the business model is simple and crude.
Jin Dabao is a well-informed person. He has his own understanding of the market and users, but he is not so clear about it.
It is precisely because Jin Dabao has his understanding that he can understand Gao Xian's deception.
There were some vague understandings that were not very clear, and Gao Xian suddenly understood them as soon as he spoke. It was like an enlightenment.
Jin Dabao was fascinated by what he heard, and he admired Gao Xian very much for his innate wisdom and true knowledge...
Gao Xian is not entirely deceptive. He wrote "The Legend of White Snake" as a long serial novel in order to enhance reader stickiness.
Transportation in various places is inconvenient. It is easy to copy a novel. But if you want to copy a long serial novel, the cost is much higher.
As long as Jin Dabao masters the content of the serialized novels, he can establish a stable distribution channel and sell them externally.
A small number of novels naturally cannot be sold at a high price, but for the thirty-six roads in Wanfeng County, each of them sells 100,000 copies, which adds up to a lot of money.
As Jin Dabao said, the cost of copying novels is very low. They can completely control one or two bookstores and sell in large quantities through first-mover advantage.
Gao Xian also racked his brains to sell books and designed this sales plan based on what he knew.
The most important thing is that the cost of trial and error is very low, but the subsequent benefits are not small.
Jin Dabao was moved, but he still hesitated, "Wanbaolou sells novels, it would be too unpleasant to tell..."
Gao Xian smiled: "Brother Jin, it is indeed inconvenient for Wanbao Tower to do such a small business, but Brother Jin can do it alone."
Jin Dabao suddenly fell silent. He could only do this by relying on Wanbaolou's branches all over the place. Gao Xian's words made him suddenly enlightened.
Indeed, relying on Wanbao Tower to do this does not necessarily have to be in the name of Wanbao Tower.
He also has some friends. Selling a few books privately is nothing.
As the person in charge of Wanbao Tower in Qingyun Road, he knows all the people in charge of Wanfeng County.
Just selling books in various roads in Wanfeng County, you can get thousands of spiritual stones in your hands every month, which is also very fragrant.
Gao Xian took out two books and put them in front of Jin Dabao. He smiled and said: "Brother Jin, I don't want to make much money, I just want a false reputation. These are the next two volumes of the Legend of White Snake. Please give me a try." ”
Jin Dabao was even more moved. Look at Gao Xian. It was obviously a matter of cooperation to make a fortune, but his attitude was so low, as if he was begging him to do something.
“Okay, I'll try.”
Jin Dabao said: "It just needs to be agreed in advance. It's hard to say how much you can earn. Brother Gao, don't blame me then."
“It's all thanks to Brother Jin's help.”
Gao Xian just wants to be able to sell it, and he doesn't care too much about how much it can sell for.
So the main reason for raising money is to fear that the other party will suspect that his purpose is not pure. Only when he asks for money will the other party believe him.
After discussing the cooperation, both parties are very happy and feel a little closer.
Jin Dabao enthusiastically brought the album and asked Gao Xian to take a look.
Gao Xian is also very curious about Wanbaolou's stuff. What exactly does this high-end business house have?
The atlas is divided into categories according to magical objects, talismans, swords, elixirs, spiritual objects and secret techniques, and is very regular and orderly.
I casually flipped through the sword and weapon atlas, and found that the lowest level ones were all of the third level, and there were hundreds of flying swords and sword weapons.
However, the price is very high. An ordinary third-level flying sword costs three to four hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
The price of the Forbidden Perfect Magical Flying Sword suddenly soared five to six times. The price of a spiritual weapon-level flying sword would increase seven to eight times.
Gao Xian felt that he was quite rich, and he couldn't help but be speechless when he saw the third-order spiritual weapon flying sword above.
In comparison, the third-level spirit sword is more expensive.
Looking at the various magic weapons, they are divided into defense, attack, etc. There are thousands of pieces in the thick atlas.
Charms and elixirs are relatively the cheapest. After all, they are one-time consumables. If they are too expensive, no one will buy them.
Gao Xian saw third-level treasure talismans and spiritual talismans for the first time, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
In this way, treasure talismans and spiritual talismans are easier to activate than magic weapons, and are powerful, making them very suitable for low-level cultivators.
For example, Jindan Zhenren can use fourth-level treasure talismans and spiritual talismans. However, the prices of fourth-level treasure talismans and spiritual talismans are very exaggerated, and I am afraid that not many Jindan practitioners can afford them.
Gao Xian casually browsed for a while and suddenly saw a relic of the Dragon Elephant Palace master, priced at 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
According to Buddhist custom, only those with strong Nascent Soul levels are qualified to be called guru.
In other words, this is a relic left by the True Lord Yuanying.
Gao Xian was greatly moved, but the price was also terrifyingly high.
Ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones would be 100 million if replaced by low-grade spiritual stones.
Don't say he can't afford it, I'm afraid not many people in the huge Qingyun Sect can afford it.
Having 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones and buying relics with 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones are two different things.
"Brother Jin, what is the use of this relic? Why is it sold so expensive?" Gao Xian asked casually.
Jin Dabao didn't think much about it. The relic was such a rare thing and so expensive, so everyone would be curious about it.
He said: "This thing has a history. Hundreds of years ago, True Lord Qingye traveled around the nine continents. He happened to encounter Master Ziyuan of the Dragon Elephant Palace in Haizhou who was bullying others. When True Lord Qingye saw injustice on the road, he killed Master Ziyuan with his sword. Ziyuan The relic left by Master Yuan is hung in Wanbao Tower for consignment.
“The price of relics is high and ordinary cultivators cannot afford it. Those cultivators who can afford it don't dare to offend Longxiang Palace…”
Gao Xian could not help but be fascinated. He traveled around the nine continents with his sword and cut off all injustices. Only when a cultivator reaches this state can he be considered free and at ease.
I don't know when he will be able to cultivate like this.
He immediately thought of business and asked again: "So what is the use of this thing?"
Jin Dabao chuckled: "That's hard to say. It is said that the relics will retain some of the spiritual consciousness of the eminent monk during his lifetime, and may also retain some of his magical powers. If you are lucky, you can even get a complete secret inheritance from the relics. The specific situation depends on the person. different.
"The Master's relic cannot be bought anywhere else. Just because of its rarity, it is valuable."
Jin Dabao said kindly: "Whether it's cheap or expensive, it's not something we should worry about. It's just a fun thing to watch, so don't worry about it."
Gao Xian nodded. Even if he had 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones, he would not be willing to buy this thing.
After coming out of Wanbao Tower, Gao Xian did not return to his sect, but returned home again.
Gao Xian called Zhou Ye over and asked the old man to inquire about Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum and see if he could buy it back with money.
Zhou Ye has been hanging out in Qingyun City for three or four years after all. He is very good at dealing with people and must have made a lot of friends.
The Southern District is in so much chaos, it's impossible to hide the news. Let Zhou Ye go explore the wind and see what is going on.
Going around Wanbao Tower today, Gao Xian was eye-opening. Especially the exaggerated price of the relics left by Master Ziyuan deeply impressed him.
He also had the determination to obtain the Vajra relics that Wei Cheng mentioned. Vajra cultivation reaches the level of master perfection and can no longer be improved.
According to what he heard, the Vajra is a secret skill of Dragon Elephant Palace, and it is not surprising to practice it to the level of Nascent Soul. It is impossible to improve at the foundation level.
This vajra relic may allow him to break through the bottleneck of the vajra. Even if there was only this possibility, he had to give it a try before he would accept it.
Gao Xian doesn't have to rob it by force, he can spend money to buy it, and that's no problem.
With the moral character of this group of cultivators in Nan District, it is impossible for them to do business with peace of mind. As soon as they take action, he will be able to punish evil and promote good, and act chivalrously and righteously!
Money was saved, things were obtained, and bad guys were killed. It was perfect.
Gao Xian took advantage of the time and returned to the quiet room to take out the Qingfeng Sword. When you are ready to take action, it is also good to sharpen your sword temporarily.
Zhenjun Qingfeng has been dead for a thousand or two thousand years, but this sword is so well preserved that it is impossible to tell that it has been passed down for thousands of years.
As he drew the sword out of its scabbard, Gao Xian could feel the scent of Li Ye all over the sword.
Having been in Li Ye's hands for two hundred years, refined day and night with his spiritual consciousness, it is strange that there is no flavor of Li Ye on the Qingfeng Sword.
Gao Xian didn't care about this. No matter how strong the sword intention left by Li Ye was, it couldn't be compared with Qingfeng Zhenjun.
He held the sword and shook it slightly. The blade made a long vibration, and the sword energy transformed by mana also radiated and vibrated outward.
Gao Xian had a clear understanding in his heart that the Qingfeng Sword was only of the third level, and it should have been the sword worn by Zhenjun Qingfeng in his early years.
Only by using his sword intention to control the Qingfeng Sword and gaining a deeper resonance can he inspire the Qingfeng Zhenjun's sword intention.
The breeze is blowing in the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light... Gao Xian used the various moves of the Qingfeng Sword Sutra one by one.
After receiving the "Qingfeng Sword Sutra" taught by Li Feihuang, he reached master perfection in the Qingfeng Sword Technique. The combination of the two allowed him to fully master the essence of the Qingfeng Sword Sutra.
As far as his attainments in the Qingfeng Sword Classic are concerned, Gao Xian is no worse than Li Ye, and in some places is even better.
At this moment, Gao Xian used every move of Qingfeng Sword Technique to display his sword intent. When he performed the Spring Breeze and Rain technique, all the sword light in the room was restrained.
The Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Sword Intention that Gao Xian comprehended even surpassed the original sword intention of the Qingfeng Sword Sutra.
With this sword intention displayed, Li Ye's sword intention wrapped around the Qingfeng Sword was dissolved layer by layer, and the purest sword intention emerged from deep within the blade.
In an instant, Gao Xian's sword intention and this pure sword intention came into contact, like two invisible sword blades clashing, stirring up little bits of electric light.
In an extremely mysterious state, Gao Xian felt as if some invisible barrier had been opened. He suddenly had a new understanding of the various sword intentions of the Qingfeng Sword Sutra. Various subtle changes in the Sword Sutra naturally unfolded in his sea of consciousness...
The Qingfeng Sword in Gao Xian's hand shone with divine light, but was as gentle as water. The light of the sword circulated like this for a long time before slowly dissipating.
Gao Xian opened his eyes, and the sharp and agile sword light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Through the resonance with the Qingfeng Sword, he completely understood the true meaning of the Qingfeng Sword Sutra and broke through the bottleneck of swordsmanship.
He took out Fengyue Baojian, and sure enough, Fengyun Sword Sutra had reached the master level.
At this point, he has fully understood the six sword intentions of Fengyun Sword Classic and the sword intention of Zhongmen.
Fengyun Sword Sutra uses wind to promote changes in the other five gates. Among them, Yunmen Sword Intent is the foundation, and Fengmen Sword Intent is the marrow of the Sword Sutra.
Mastering Fengmen Sword Intention allowed Gao Xian to break through the bottleneck and promote Fengyun Sword Scripture to the master level.
This makes his swordsmanship more refined and he can truly display the power of his swordsmanship.
His mana, consciousness, and physical aspects have not improved, but his combat power has truly been greatly improved.
Not talking about others, but compared to himself, Gao Xian was confident that he could kill yesterday's self within ten moves. Well, not counting clones or anything like that, just speaking of swordsmanship.
This is the sublimity of the Sword Classic and the power of the sword.
Gao Xian put away the Qingfeng Sword and pulled out the Qinglian Sword. The Qinglian Sword was activated by his sword intention and turned silently into a sharp cyan rainbow light.
The Qinglian Feihong Sword, Gao Xian used to have some difficulty controlling it, but now he can handle it with ease.
The Green Lotus Feihong Sword is still a little bit behind after all. If it were stronger, it could instantly break through all the protection of Jin Dan Zhenren. Gao Xian would be confident to kill Jin Dan like Li Ye.
This is not arrogance, but the confidence that comes naturally after great improvement in swordsmanship.
Gao Xian glanced at the Liuhe armband. He had been in seclusion in the quiet room for twenty-four hours, two full days.
Zhou Ye saw Gao Xian appear, and the old man hurriedly came to greet him. He had been asking about Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum for the past two days and got some scattered information.
As for who owns the Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, it is not clear.
Gao Xian was not surprised by this. The water in the Southern District was already very deep. It would be good for Zhou Ye, an outsider, to get some information.
He said to the old man: "Go and invite Mr. and Mrs. Wei Cheng next door."
Zhou Ye didn't know what Gao Xian meant, and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurried away.
After a while, Zhou Ye came back with Wei Cheng and his wife.
Gao Xian sent Zhou Ye away. He smiled at Wei Cheng and his wife, "Two fellow Taoists, I am somewhat interested in the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum and the Vajra relic. I would like to ask these two fellow Taoists to help me get in touch..."
Wei Shuangshuang was slightly startled. Gao Xian wanted to buy something? This is different from what they thought.
Wei Cheng reacted immediately. He bowed his hands and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to serve my fellow Taoist."
Gao Xian nodded. Wei Shuangshuang looked smart, but Wei Cheng was really smart.
“Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist.”
Wei Cheng said seriously: "It's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. Let's get in touch right now."
Out of the gate of Gao's house, Wei Shuangshuang looked at Wei Cheng with some confusion, "What does he mean?"
Wei Cheng shook his head and said: "We only need to help contact you, and don't worry about anything else. Fellow Taoist Gao has his own opinions."
They have been doing business in the South District all year round and have connections in all aspects. Although he was ambushed once by the Five Poison Gang, these connections were not something that the other party could clear out in a short time.
Wei Cheng was very efficient at his work. By dusk, he had already contacted Gao Xian and met at the Xinglong Liquor Shop in Yonghefang, South District.
Of course, he couldn't give Gao Xian's name, he just used a commonly used false identity.
Gao Xian was very satisfied with Wei Cheng's efficiency. He changed into a Qingyuan Ruyi robe, transformed into a middle-aged man in gray robe, and came to Yonghefang according to the map drawn by Wei Cheng.
Yonghe Square in the Southern District is located against the southern city wall. It is the largest and most chaotic square in the Southern District.
After entering the South District, the streets were obviously much more chaotic. Pedestrians coming and going all looked cautious, and their clothes were obviously much shabby.
Gao Xian seemed to have returned to Pegasus Ji, except that it was more lively than Pegasus Ji and the level of cultivators was obviously higher. Along the way, Gao Xian had seen several foundation-building monks.
Yonghefang is even more chaotic. Traces of spells can be seen everywhere, and there are large areas of black blood on the mottled bluestone ground. There were a few drunkards lying on the street, fast asleep, their faces and bodies covered with dust and filth, and they no longer looked human.
Groups of cultivators gathered together, looking at the passers-by on the street with fierce eyes. It looked like a hunting pack of wolves choosing a target.
Gao Xian had never encountered this kind of situation in Pegasus Ji. It seemed like it had become a wild jungle without order.
The straight-line distance between Yonghefang and Anshanfang is only more than ten miles, but the gap is so huge, which is really beyond Gao Xian's expectation.
It shouldn't be difficult for you fellow Qingyun Sect masters to govern this place. Yonghefang's moral character should be deliberately indulgent.
In order to reduce trouble, Gao Xian had to release the aura of the Foundation Establishment monks. Although those cultivators were fierce, they were not fools. No one dared to provoke the Foundation Establishment monks.
After walking for a while, Gao Xiancai found Xinglong Liquor Store deep in an alley. It was already completely dark.
The wine shop is not big, with a red lantern hanging in front of the door. There are five or six tables in the wine shop, two of which are full of drinkers.
The smell of alcohol in the wine shop was strong and pungent, and the rough wooden tables were covered with wine and oil stains. Most of the drinkers were dressed in rough cloth and had swords on their bodies. They were sitting there with big golden swords, behaving rudely and swearing.
Seeing Gao Xian come in, a group of people's eyes fell on Gao Xian.
Gao Xian faced everyone's gaze and said calmly: "I'm looking for Han Wu, who is it?"
A man in a black robe snorted: "That's me. What do you do?"
“I'm here to buy something, I've agreed beforehand.” Gao Xian's eyes fell on the man in black robe.
This man has messy buns and a thick beard, but his eyes are gloomy and there are three natal spiritual lights flashing quietly in his body. He is actually a late-stage foundation-building monk.
Gao Xian looked around with the flower appreciating mirror. There were two Foundation Establishment monks hiding in the kitchen behind the lobby, and there was also a Foundation Establishment monk hiding next door.
There are actually four foundation-building monks in this small place. I don't know what magic weapons these people used to cover them, and the magic aura on their bodies was well hidden.
It's a pity that no matter how well the other party hides it, he can't hide it from the Flower Appraisal Mirror.
Gao Xian can use his spiritual consciousness to observe, but the spiritual consciousness is mutual. The other party's spiritual consciousness is far inferior to his, but he has a magic weapon to cover him.
Forcibly using your spiritual consciousness to scan and sense, it is easy for the other party to sense something wrong.
Gao Xian was very satisfied with the situation. If the four foundation-building monks stayed together, there must be something good about each other.
Of course, if the other party trades obediently, he will also abide by the rules.
“Have you brought all the spiritual stones?” the man in black robe asked.
Gao Xian asked: "Where are your goods?"
The man in black robe looked at Gao Xian coldly. He felt that Gao Xian was in the middle stage of foundation building. There was no sign of anyone watching outside. This guy really came alone.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer. If he came to take advantage of it at this time, he was either stupid or bad. It didn't matter which side he was from, he had to eat first!
Gao Xian noticed the fierce light flashing in the eyes of the man in black robe, but he smiled instead, you have to take action first, it is just and natural for us to fight back, no one can find fault with us...
