Chapter 122
Medicine City
Inside a house, Lin Jiang walked in and there were already five disciples from the Five Elements Sect waiting. When they saw Lin Jiang, they smiled.
"Brothers, our lucky charm has arrived."
"Brother Zhao, you're teasing us. I'm not a lucky charm, you guys are."
Lin Jiang chuckled and said. This is Brother Zhao, who previously worked with me to earn Merit Points. He's a disciple from the Five Elements Sect's Talisman Hall named Zhao Jiang.
"Brother Zhao, let's not waste time on small talk. Let's divide the spirit stones. I still have to go back to my duty."
"Same here, dividing the spirit stones is important."
The rest of the group were a little nervous, tonight they were going to divide the spirit stones.
"Okay, let's divide the spirit stones. Today we have a total of twenty stalls, and we sold..."
Zhao Jiang took out the books and read them to everyone.
Lin Jiang didn't just cooperate with Yue Qing, but with several others too. Zhao Jiang and his group of Talisman Makers were included. Almost five months ago, Lin Jiang convinced them to join him, and their goal was to create spiritual talismans.
They received discounts when purchasing materials for drawing symbols within the Five Elements Sect. The prices were much lower than the market outside. Even in the Talisman Hall, they had extra materials. Because of the success rate, they required thirteen materials to draw ten symbols.
Lin Jiang convinced them to buy a large amount of materials and then sell the symbols at a low price. The Five Elements Sect had a constant influx of newcomers, and Lin Jiang convinced them to teach talisman techniques. The condition was that they had to sell all their spiritual talismans, except those needed for sect tasks, at cost price to Lin Jiang within six months.
Lin Jiang personally guided them in teaching talisman techniques. With his level of expertise, it was more than enough to instruct these first-level Talisman Makers. Eventually, they didn't even need to find people; others came to them.
As a result, ordinary disciples learned more talisman techniques, while Lin Jiang and his group accumulated a large number of spiritual talismans. So many, in fact, that they couldn't fit them all in several storage bags.
At the current Medicine Conference, they hired disciples in the Qi Refining Period to help them sell spiritual talismans. They had a total of twenty people, and they obtained the best locations in the market of Medicine City.
The result, just as Lin Jiang expected, was very good. The spiritual talisman sold very well, and within one day, they sold seven to eight thousand of them.
"Wow, no wonder Senior Brother Xiao is called the God of Wealth. In just one day, we've almost earned back our investment. Tomorrow we'll definitely make a profit, and the day after, it'll be pure profit. This is more than what we earn in a whole year at Talisman Hall."
(Translated by Gravity Tales ????)
"Are you dreaming? Talisman Hall can only earn a few spirit stones. But Senior Brother Xiao is really a God of Wealth. Senior Brother Xiao, after the Medicine Conference is over, I'll treat you to a drink. You can't refuse."
"Me too! I've lived for thirty-five years and never earned this many spirit stones. Senior Brother Xiao, from now on, you're like a big brother to me."
"They are with me."
"That's good. These customers and landlords have different backgrounds. We treat them differently. If they are weaker than us, we can use our power to pressure them and make them reconsider. If they are stronger than us, then we can take legal action. Whether it's the administrative office of Medicine City or the Law Enforcement Hall of the sect, we have a solid case. We're not afraid of making a big fuss. If they insist on taking it back, then we'll compensate them according to the contract."
Lin Jiang said, they are in the right in this matter. Lin Jiang is not afraid of causing a scene. They need to uphold the appearance of fairness in both the sect and the city.
"Senior Brother Xiao, this might offend many people."
"Senior Brother Zheng, if we are afraid of offending people, then we won't make this money. We live our whole lives, can you guarantee not offending anyone?"
"No, we can't."
"Then it's settled. Let's all work together. Those with connections should use them, and even if you don't have connections, you should act confidently. We are poor people, and this is our chance to turn the tables. Whoever dares to stop us, we'll fight them to the end."
Lin Jiang encouraged loudly. In fact, they had carefully chosen the patrons and landlords. They wouldn't dare to accept anyone with a strong background. The powerful people here were only slightly stronger than them, not to the extent that they wouldn't dare to resist.
Lin Jiang's words made many people's eyes turn red. Those in the room were mostly part of Zheng Yi's professional team, which consisted of poor people in the sect. They had been poor for decades, and now they had a chance to turn their lives around. If anyone tried to stop them, they were ready to fight to the death.
"Senior Brother Xiao is right. I've been farming for decades, but I haven't made as much in the past half month. Anyone who dares to stand in my way, I'll fight them."
"I feel the same. I haven't started a family anyway. I'm just a bachelor, hoping to live a carefree life with these spirit stones. If I have to suffer for decades, I might as well die."
"My son is close to completing the Building Foundation stage, and I hope to use this money to buy the Building Foundation Pill. Anyone who dares to stand in the way of my son's future, I will fight with all my might."
Several people expressed their opinions, saying that they had endured years of poverty and now the opportunity to become wealthy was right in front of them. They would not miss this chance again.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We'll deal with them tomorrow. For now, let's divide the spirit stones."
"Senior Brother Xiao, the spirit stones have all been divided. Here is the account book, and here are the spirit stones. Your share, please check it."
"No need, I trust Senior Brother Zheng. There will be more people tomorrow, and there will also be a rise in bandits outside the city. The property prices will increase. You all have to resist the temptation and not raise the prices prematurely, especially for those who have booked for many days. Don't increase the prices at the last minute and provoke the anger of the people."
"Understood, Senior Brother Xiao."
"If you want to make more money, you can think of other ways, such as those residential houses with yards. You can build a few more rooms in the yard and leave a pathway. After all, it's only for a few days, so the prices can be a bit lower. Don't worry, there will be tenants."
Lin Jiang continued to teach them various tricks. Whatever kind of trick there was for subletting, he would teach them. Safety and comfort weren't considered, as it was only for a short period, around ten days.
This time, he was not only a profiteer, but also a dishonest merchant, a merchant without morals.
