The Marketing Model
However, neither the Yang Clan nor the Ling Clan families are fools. Since the Sky Talisman Commerce Association is still small, these two powerful Foundation Establishment Family can provide the spiritual items sold by the guild without needing the help of other Foundation Establishment Family.
Joining another faction means taking a larger share of the benefits.
However, neither the Ling Clan nor the Yang Clan family treated them harshly; both declined in a tactful manner.
On the other side.
Ling Pengyun, Yang Siling, and Pei Xue, who had left Yang Clan Mountain, returned to Serpent Dragon Island on the Wind Shadow Peng.
Ling Pengyun still needed to attend the auction at Serpent Dragon Marketplace five days later to purchase Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, so he did not return directly to Falling Dusk Mountain to guard it.
After entering Serpent Dragon Lake Island, Yang Siling took Ling Pengyun to a second-tier Spirit Cuisine feast in the Spirit Talisman Residence to thank Ling Pengyun for proposing the Chamber of Commerce.
Ling Pengyun did not take credit for this.
With the capture of Serpent Dragon Lake by the Hundred Spirits Sect, the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect has nearly doubled, and the number of Spirit Vein has naturally increased as well.
However, the Hundred Spirits Sect lacks a strong foundation and has few disciples. It cannot manage its Spirit Vein effectively, and many Spirit Vein are used by its members to create Lineage or rented out to Rogue Cultivator.
Such good fortune has led to Rogue Cultivator from other parts of the Yan Kingdom into the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect in recent years.
As a result, business in various markets and fairs improved, and shops everywhere became more and more successful.
As long as the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor isn't stupid, he'll definitely get involved and establish a chamber of commerce within a few years.
The Chamber of Commerce being established ahead of schedule is simply because Ling Pengyun thought of things before the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor.
Of course, having forward-thinking ideas is also a way to get rich.
After chatting with his cousin for a while, Ling Pengyun bid farewell to her and left Spirit Talisman Residence, continuing his journey along a small path on Serpent Dragon Island.
A short while later, Ling Pengyun stopped outside a small courtyard with the words "Cangdao" written on it.
This courtyard is rather simple, unlike the magnificent and grand Spirit Talisman Residence.
The cultivators who reside in this courtyard are not simple individuals.
After all, this place is Serpent Dragon Island, the core of Serpent Dragon Lake.
The cultivators who can live in this place rich in Spiritual Qi are all extraordinary people.
Ling Pengyun reached out and knocked on the tightly closed courtyard gate, and two knocks rang out.
In just a few breaths, the courtyard gate was opened.
A beautiful female cultivator appeared before Ling Pengyun.
"Fairy Yan," Ling Pengyun said with a smile upon seeing the woman.
This female cultivator was none other than my old friend, Yan Siyi.
"Ling Daoyou, what brings you here?" Yan Siyi was somewhat surprised to see Ling Pengyun appear.
She knew that Ling Pengyun was required to guard Falling Dusk Mountain Falling Dusk Mountain for the Ling Clan and would not leave unless there was something important to do.
"I came here to discuss some important matters with my cousin, and I also wanted to visit Senior Yan Cang and... Fairy you," Ling Pengyun replied.
Upon hearing this, Yan Siyi felt a mix of emotions, a sense of loss and happiness.
Disappointed, Ling Pengyun was only here incidentally.
I'm glad Ling Pengyun remembered to come here.
After a moment of stunned silence, Yan Siyi smiled and greeted them.
"Please come in, Ling Daoyou."
Ling Pengyun nodded and followed Yan Siyi into the Cangdao Small Courtyard.
Yan Siyi's Grandfather Yan Cang, is currently sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea and reading leisurely books.
When he saw that it was Ling Pengyun who had arrived, a smile appeared on his face.
"Young friend Ling, it's been quite a few years since you last visited me and had a chat. Now that you're here, I hope we can have a long talk."
"Okay." Ling Pengyun replied with a smile, then patted the Storage Bag at his waist and took out some rare spiritual items that he had prepared beforehand, such as half a catty of second-grade Fruit Flower Honey, delicious Azure Moon Spirit Fish, and Songhua Spirit Egg, and handed them to Yan Cang.
"Senior Yan, these are some local specialties of my Ling Clan. They all taste very good. Please try them."
Then, he took out a bag containing one pound of second-grade Fruit Flower Honey from his Storage Bag and handed it to Yan Siyi.
"Fairy Yan, this was prepared especially for you."
Upon seeing this, Yan Siyi blushed, but she happily accepted the gift.
"Si Yi, young friend Ling has brought a lot of delicious food this time. Why don't you use these spiritual items as ingredients to cook a few Spirit Cuisine? The three of us can eat together later."
Yan Cang spoke to Yan Siyi.
Yan Siyi nodded slightly and obediently carried the gifts brought by Ling Pengyun to the kitchen inside the courtyard cottage.
Ling Pengyun and Yan Cang, who were still in the courtyard, sat at the stone table, drinking tea and chatting.
During their casual conversation, the two discussed a wide range of topics, including the cultivation of Spirit Plant, the current state of the Hundred Spirits Sect, and the situation of the Blazing Fire Iron Ore Vein in the White Cloud Mountain Range.
Ling Pengyun also noticed that although Yan Cang's lifespan was limited, he was still concerned about improving the Spirit Rice.
Ling Pengyun could understand this.
After all, Yan Cang was a genius in improving Spirit Rice. It was only natural that he wanted to improve it into a superior Spirit Rice as his final work when he was about to die.
When it was time to eat, Yan Siyi had prepared a large table of Spirit Cuisine, and the two of them stopped chatting and started chatting at the table.
During the meal, Yan Cang noticed that his position between Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi made the two young people, who had a good relationship, feel somewhat restrained, so he took the initiative to return to the hut to cultivate in seclusion.
After he left, Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, who were still sitting at the stone table, did indeed become more animated.
The two had a very pleasant conversation.
It wasn't until nightfall that Ling Pengyun bid farewell to Yan Siyi and Yan Cang, and left the "Cangdao Small Courtyard".
They went to the Lingxiao Treasure Gathering Pavilion in the Serpent Dragon Marketplace Serpent Dragon Lake and found the parents who ran the shop.
After searching around, I found my uncle and aunt, who also ran a shop in the same market, and spent four days with these relatives.
The triennial auction at Serpent Dragon Marketplace has officially begun.
There were many good items at this auction, including six Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object: three Meridian Protecting Pill, three bottles of Hundred Spirits Water, and one Foundation Establishment Pill.
With the 30,000 Spirit Stone given to him by his Lineage, Ling Pengyun bought two bottles of Hundred Spirits Water for 8,500 and 8,700 Spirit Stone respectively, and two Meridian Protecting Pill for 5,440 and 5,960 Spirit Stone respectively.
After the auction ended, since he had been away from Falling Dusk Mountain for some time, he bid farewell to his parents and left the Serpent Dragon Marketplace.
On their way out, many Foundation Establishment Cultivator harbored wicked thoughts towards Ling Pengyun, who had spent lavishly at the auction.
However, out of fear of Ling Pengyun's powerful cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, he has not yet made a move.
Ling Pengyun didn't want to cause trouble, so he pretended not to see it and returned directly to the Ling Clan Mountain, handing over all the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object he had won at the auction to the Clan Head, Ling Yunhong.
Subsequently, he and Ling Yunhong embarked on a massive project.
Together, they transplanted all the more than twenty first-tier spirit fruit trees, dozens of Spirit Mulberry Tree, and more than twenty spirit fruit trees planted on other Low-Order Spirit Vein Lineage the Clan Mountain to the first-tier Spirit Plant Garden in Falling Dusk Mountain.
As for the Spirit Plant that were originally planted in the Spirit Plant Garden, the two of them transplanted them to the original place where the spiritual fruit trees were planted, so that those Spirit Plant were not wasted.
The reason why the two of them are only now taking the step of transplanting the spirit fruit tree is because...
This is also because the spirit medicine grown in the Spirit Plant Garden of Falling Dusk Mountain that can be used to refine elixirs are of higher value.
Planting spirit fruit trees can yield many spirit fruits with remarkable effects, but their value is slightly lower than that of planting spirit medicine.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong are doing this in the hopes of getting more spiritual fruits by taking advantage of the five arrays in the Spirit Plant Garden.
This way, once the Sky Talisman Commerce Association is established, the sheer quantity of spiritual fruits will also enhance the Sky Talisman Commerce Association's reputation.
For a period of time afterward.
Through the efforts of the Ling Clan, the Yang Clan, and Yang Siling, it was gradually spread that the soon-to-be-established Sky Talisman Commerce Association would sell various rare spiritual fruits, spiritual fish, second-tier high-level Spirit Talisman Cave, and even Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.
Some Rogue Cultivator and Lineage cultivators with aspirations for the Dao were quite excited upon hearing this news.
After all, one of the shareholders of the Sky Talisman Commerce Association is Yang Siling, the daughter-in-law of the old Old Ancestor Fu.
Furthermore, anyone with a modicum of common sense can guess from the name Sky Talisman Commerce Association Sky Talisman Commerce Association it is backed by the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor of the Hundred Spirits Sect.
With such a Golden Core Old Ancestor presiding over it, the appearance of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object by the Sky Talisman Commerce Association is certainly genuine.
Cultivators in the Hundred Spirits Sect territory will also have a greater chance of Foundation Establishment thanks to the Sky Talisman Commerce Association.
Even if they can't buy Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, spiritual fruits, Spirit Honey, and other spiritual treasures of heaven and earth can still greatly accelerate their cultivation.
In the past, these spiritual items were quite rare. They were not only bought as soon as they appeared, but were also highly sought after and in short supply.
The news of the upcoming opening of the Sky Talisman Commerce Association has been generating buzz for nearly a month, and cultivators in the Hundred Spirits Sect Sky Talisman Commerce Association are even more eager for it.
Many wealthy independent Rogue Cultivator and Lineage cultivators even spend their days in various markets, waiting in front of shops under the Sky Talisman Commerce Association that have not yet opened, hoping to be the first to enter the shops and buy spiritual fruits and other spiritual items.
When the Ling Clan, the Yang Clan, Yang Siling felt that the time was ripe for pre-heating, they no longer delayed.
The "Sky Talisman Thousand Treasure Pavilion" stores, located in the fifteen markets of Ning Province, Jing Province, and Jiao Province— three of the four states within the Hundred Spirits Sect territory with a large population and many Foundation Establishment Family —have all opened their doors to customers.
Since this was the first time the Sky Talisman Commerce Association had appeared, Sky Talisman Thousand Treasure Pavilion in various places also began to promote bundled sales.
For example, purchasing a bottle of First-Tier Superior-Grade pills will give you a First Rank Low Grade Azure Moon Spirit Fish, or half a catty of Fruit Flower Honey, etc.
Because low-level spiritual items such as Azure Moon Spirit Fish and Fruit Flower Honey have excellent taste and effects, this sales method has made the business of the Sky Talisman Thousand Treasure Pavilion better and better, and the thresholds are almost worn down.
This massive influx of people also boosted sales of some of the more common spiritual items within the Qianbaoge store.
Many of the First Rank Low Grade Azure Spirit Sword, as well as Law Artifact such as the Mystic Water Sword and Mystic Water Shield, which had been stockpiled in the Ling Clan Repository for years and were difficult to sell, were sold at this time.
The sale of a large number of spiritual items brought substantial cash flow to the Ling Clan, the Yang Clan, and Yang Siling.
However, none of the three parties chose to distribute this first wave of cash flow as dividends.
Instead, relying on this huge cash flow, they dispatched the Chamber of Commerce's caravans to various Foundation Establishment Family and Qi Refining Lineage to purchase raw materials for refining spiritual items at prices higher than the market rate.
With prices higher than the market average, Foundation Establishment Family and Qi Refining Lineage were naturally willing to sell some unused spiritual materials to the Sky Talisman Commerce Association's caravan.
Of course, the price of raw materials purchased was higher than the market price, so although there was some loss, the Chamber of Commerce was operating on a principle of small profits but quick turnover.
After all, with Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object as a selling point, it's not impossible to achieve high sales volume with low profit margins.
After the massive amount of raw materials acquired flooded into the Chamber of Commerce, the Yang Clan and Ling Clan families, the artisans behind the Chamber, transformed them into finished spiritual objects and sold them at several times, even three or four times, the price.
The newly established shops under the Sky Talisman Commerce Association have gradually gained a foothold in various markets.
During this period, the shops under the Hundred Spirits Chamber of Commerce did not cause any trouble, but instead took the initiative to lower the prices of the spiritual items in their stores, thus engaging in a price war with the Sky Talisman Commerce Association.
Clearly, the reason why the Hundred Spirits Chamber of Commerce is like this is also due to the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor.
