Chapter 150

The Wilderness, the Five Elements Sect's base

Yue Qing and Jiang Shu were visiting Lin Jiang's residence for the first time. Looking at the spacious courtyard, they were quite envious. The rent inside the base was outrageous, and they couldn't afford such a spacious yard.

This was still under the discounted rate for being disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Of course, they could also stay at the sect's guesthouse, but the environment there was very poor.

"Senior Brother Xiao"

"Senior Brother Xiao"

The two of them greeted Lin Jiang, who was now their senior fellow student.

"Senior Brother Yue,Senior Brother Jiang"

Lin Jiang just exchanged pleasantries, a simple greeting without too much formality.

"What did Big Brother Xiao call us here for?"

"I have a business proposition that I want to collaborate with you on."

"Wow, thank you Big Brother Xiao for your guidance."

When Yue Qing heard this, he became extremely happy. It was not in vain that he had been trying so hard to ingratiate himself. Finally, he had gained a powerful ally.

"Brother Xiao is willing to invest in my Chunfeng Tower. I am willing to give him a 30% stake."

"Brother Yue, I'm really not interested in your Chunfeng Tower. Let's not talk about this."

"So what other business can Brother Xiao do? Is it buying resources for cultivation? It's not impossible, but it requires a lot of capital to make it work."

Yue Qing doesn't mind, as long as there are other opportunities for cooperation and making money.

"In the stronghold, what sells the best?"

"Well, everything sells well in the stronghold. Cultivation pills, healing potions, offensive and defensive spiritual talismans, shields, armor, swords. Even battle formations for warning, trapping, and killing enemies. Anything sells well."

"But we can't compete with the sect. They already dominate most of the market. We can at most make a small profit."

"Apart from all that, there's cloth, women, and alcohol. These three things sell the best. The magical robes are sturdy but not everyone can afford them. Many people still wear regular clothes and it's normal for them to get ruined after a trip. Beautiful women and good wine, on the other hand, are popular everywhere. Don't underestimate the women in my Chunfeng Tower, they bring in a lot of business. Those independent cultivators work hard outside and need to unwіnd when they come back."

"The profit margin for cloth is very low, and we have no channels for magical robes. So let's focus on selling good wine."

Lin Jiang replied that he was not interested in Chunfeng Tower and didn't know what Yue Qing kept mentioning it for.

"We can do the business of spiritual wine, but we need a large quantity. Can Senior Brother find someone who can provide spiritual wine?"

"Yes, we can brew it ourselves."

"Don't make a fuss, how old is Sister Hua?"

"He's only a few years younger than Senior Brother Yue, not even sixty yet, in the Qi Refining Period."

"Let's have a duel, Jiang Shu."

Yue Qing went crazy. They exposed his secrets in front of everyone. Is that interesting?

Lin Jiang was stunned. A Qi Refining Period practitioner at the age of fifty or sixty. Then it shouldn't be called Sister Hua anymore, but Grandma Hua. I couldn't tell. Yue Qing actually likes this.

·······

Two kilometers outside the Five Elements Sect headquarters, this is the patrol limit of the headquarters guard team. But Lin Jiang has already greeted the guard team. They will take care of this place during their daily patrols, and they will also try their best to eliminate the nearby monsters. As a thank you, Lin Jiang promised them to speak highly of them in front of Zhang Shuhua and have them transferred back to the headquarters.

"Eight Gate Golden Armor Formation"

"Five Elements Shock Killing Formation, they are all the work of masters. Senior Brother Xiao is really willing to spend money."

Yue Qing watched as Lin Jiang set up the formations and said to Jiang Shu. These two formations are both at the third level, and they are not ordinary formations. They must be expensive.

"The cost of these two formations exceeds 100,000 spirit stones. It seems that Senior Brother Xiao really wants to stay in this stronghold. Wasn't Martial Uncle Zhang looked down upon by the higher-ups?"

"Even if Martial Uncle is not favored, his cultivation is here. We just need to stick close to him and seek his protection."

"What Senior Brother said is right. As disciples with no backing, it's already good enough if we can find someone to rely on."

Jiang Shu said. What do we have to do with the internal politics of the sect? As long as we have someone to protect us and make money, we're fine.

"I have invested a lot this time, Jiang Shu. From now on, this place will be in your hands. You must guard it well."

"Senior Brother, rest assured. With these two formations, we have no worries below the golden core level. And above the golden core, we still have Senior Brother Xiao."

(Translated by Gravity Tales ????)

"That's right, that's right."

Yue Qing said, while others may be in danger here, they won't be. With the protection of the formations and reinforcements to call upon, everything is worry-free.

"I have set up the formation. Here is the control token for the formation. I have already sent a message back to the sect. Next month, we will receive medicine and spiritual paddy. We will also get brewing tools. You will be in charge of brewing, but don't mess it up."

"Don't worry, senior brother. We can't find a master brewer, but we can definitely handle it at an average level. Senior brother, just wait to collect the money."

"Alright, from now on, I won't be able to go out easily. If you need anything, come to my house."

Lin Jiang nodded. He also had to lead by example and couldn't just run around freely. He had a lot of things to take care of every day.

After Lin Jiang gave them instructions, he left immediately. He had already taken care of the most important things and left the rest to Yue Qing and the others. If they couldn't handle these small matters, they didn't deserve to work with him.
