Jade Pot Market

After chatting with Yue Zutao for a while, Chen Mobai told him about the Yellow Gourd.

"If you need it, junior brother, just take it."

Yue Zutao had long ago refined the Profound Yin Fiend. If Chen Mobai hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten about the gourd, which he had kept at the bottom of his storage bag.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yue."

Chen Mobai put down the two jars of wine, picked up the Yellow Gourd, and took his leave.

"The Celestial Leader Wang Family is the bloodline of one of my deceased senior uncles. Junior Brother Chen has been appointed as the Jian Guo Town Guardian. Please take good care of him."

Before leaving, Yue Zutao said something.

"Nature."

After a moment's thought, Chen Mobai remembered the Wang Family's origins.

The former garrison commander Liu Ruzhong, had confided in him that the Wang Family were descendants of Old Ancestor Zhou's disciples, and Chu Zuoshu was also a disciple of Old Ancestor Zhou, which matched what Yue Zutao had said.

After leaving Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai went to the Reward Hall to collect the sect's permission to travel.

If Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect wants to leave the sect, they must report to their respective Three Halls Twelve Departments when they are not on a mission, and then the department will report to the Divine Wood Hall.

After the Divine Wood Hall's regulations are approved, they will be sent to the Reward Hall again.

"The Luo Family of Illusion Wave Market is my clan, and the current clan leader is my younger brother. I hope Junior Brother Chen will take care of me for the next ten years."

Chen Mobai chatted briefly with Luo Xueer, the acting Hall Master of the Reward Hall, and the latter smiled and said something.

After leaving the Reward Hall, Chen Mobai deeply understood the meaning of Liu Ruzhong's words.

Most of the Seven Great Families that Jian Country have intricate connections with the Divine Wood Sect. Although I represent the Divine Wood Sect, I still need to be extremely cautious and careful in my dealings with them.

However, Chen Mobai had no intention of exploiting or extorting the Cultivating Family who had helped him Jian Country, so as long as he followed the rules, the Divine Wood Sect would always be his support.

Since Chu Zuoshu led a group of people to Golden Light Cliff, Chen Mobai did not stay in Divine Wood City for long and returned directly to Little South Mountain.

The Divine Wood Hall has two directly managed departments.

They are the Transmission Department and the Witchcraft Department.

Among these, the Transmission Department is responsible for all paperwork within the sect. For example, the Scripture Pavilion stores cultivation manuals and Hundred Arts of Cultivation is under its jurisdiction.

Chen Mobai applied for a document authorizing the sect to inspect the five major markets of Jian Country. After the seals of the Reward Hall and the Divine Wood Hall were affixed, a copy was sent to the Transmission Department.

One of the cultivators, named Du Feng, with an ordinary appearance, nodded after reading it and handed it to the Qi Cultivation Cultivator below. The latter then placed it on the shelf according to the date.

After finishing his work for the day, Du Feng left the department and returned to his rented house. He carefully activated a protective Array Formation, then took out a special Talisman Paper and wrote down all the details about Chen Mobai's trip on it.

After writing it down, Du Feng burned the Talisman Paper.

In a Cave Mansion on a Spirit Vein outside Giant Wood Ridge, a cultivator who was meditating and Qi Refining while holding Spirit Stone suddenly opened his eyes. He picked up a talisman Talisman Paper on the stone table, which was blank in the middle and had strange patterns around it.

He infused his spiritual power, and as if by magic, the contents written on Talisman Paper Talisman Paper that Du Feng had burned appeared in the middle of the blank talisman paper.

"Finally, it's here."

The cultivator, who had been waiting here for almost a year, finished reading and spoke with excitement.

He then burned the Talisman Paper in the same way, transmitting its contents to the person in charge of the Yellow Springs in the nearby Jade Pot Market.

Before long, news of Chen Mobai's departure had spread to all the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who were going to participate in the ambush.

Yuan Hongyuan gave his five black array flags a final check, felt the surging spiritual power within his body, and confidently walked down Black Cloud Mountain.

"Master, the quality of these Talisman Paper is almost on par with that of Second Grade."

At Little South Mountain, the three apprentices brought up bundles of Talisman Paper. Zhuo Ming Talisman Master, watched Chen Mobai pick up the Talisman Paper for inspection with reluctance and said something.

"You three can each take 10 dozen for yourselves."

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhuo Ming immediately became blunt.

Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbai were taken aback. They were from a family that focused on cultivation and improving their cultivation level, and had not been distracted by learning the way of Talisman. These Talisman Paper were useless to them.

"Senior Sister Zhuo, you can have this."

Luo Yixuan was quick-witted; with a quick glance, she immediately took 10 coins and gave them to Zhuo Ming.

"This..."

"Junior sister, please accept it. Neither of us knows how to Talisman Making."

Liu Wenbai also spoke up. Zhuo Ming secretly glanced at Chen Mobai, and seeing that he didn't object, she happily took it and put it into her storage bag.

"Ming'er, take an extra 100 dozen and sell them at Little South Mountain Shop in the future."

After his three apprentices finished taking the items, Chen Mobai suddenly spoke again, saying something that filled Zhuo Ming with happiness.

Although the Talisman Paper wasn't hers, having it in her storage bag Talisman Master, feel exceptionally fulfilled.

"Master, how much should these Talisman Paper cost?"

Zhuo Ming touched the Talisman Paper paper, which was tough, delicate, and white, and had an exceptionally smooth transmission of spiritual energy. He asked with great affection.

"The same price as in the market, one Spirit Stone per dozen."

Hearing Chen Mobai's words, Zhuo Ming raised her head in shock.

"Master, such fine Talisman Paper must have many complicated steps to make. Should we raise the price?"

As Talisman Master, Zhuo Ming worked with his father in a small faction's Talisman Paper workshop when he was a child. The Talisman Paper they produced was the lowest grade that circulated among Rogue Cultivator. It was yellowish in color and you could even see unprocessed Bark in the Talisman Paper. The quality was extremely poor.

Slightly more advanced Talisman Master, who are capable of crafting mid-to-high-grade first-tier Talisman, usually purchase naturally formed spiritual objects that can be used in place of Talisman Paper.

For example, bamboo strips, Spirit Leaf, and animal hides.

Although it also requires soaking and refining in special medicinal solutions, it can ensure the smooth conduction of spiritual energy and the solidification and stability of spells.

Zhuo Ming had also worked with her father on animal skin Talisman Paper, and even after ten or fifteen days of hard work, she might not be able to successfully produce a single one.

Now, she felt that the quality of each of the large stack of Talisman Paper in her hand surpassed even the best animal hide Talisman Paper she had ever made. She thought she should sell them for at least 2 Spirit Stone a dozen.

"We shouldn't go too far within the sect. Let's give other Talisman Paper shops some room to survive and set prices according to the market."

Chen Mobai said something that left Zhuo Ming completely baffled, but Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan vaguely understood it.

The three apprentices wouldn't ask where the Talisman Paper came from.

"Wen Bai, get ready. Tomorrow you will come with me to inspect the five major markets of the Jian Country."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Wenbai had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Master, I don't have anything to do anyway, so why don't I go with you and my senior brother?"

At this moment, Luo Yixuan suddenly spoke up, and Chen Mobai thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the main purpose of this trip is to establish a sales channel for his Talisman Paper Talisman Ink. In the future, Liu Wenbai may not be able to manage it all by himself, so it's good to bring along his clever little apprentice.

Zhuo Ming, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat tempted. Since joining the Divine Wood Sect from South Stream Market with Chen Mobai, she had never left Giant Wood Ridge.

The first four years of these past eight years were tough, but after joining Little South Mountain, I have lived a very happy life, a blessing I never dared to dream of.

"Ming'er should stay home."

"Yes, Master."

Zhuo Ming nodded seriously, but she still felt a little ashamed. She thought it was because she was not good at Spell Duel and was awkward in interpersonal communication. She must correct these shortcomings in the future and do more to share the burdens of her master, just like her senior brother and junior sister.

the next day.

When Chen Mobai came down the mountain, Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Zhuo Ming was also there, but she was wearing a coarse linen shirt and had a bamboo basket tied around her waist. The basket contained various farming tools. She planned to go to the Spirit Field to check on the rice seedlings that had just been planted this spring after seeing them off.

"I'm leaving the family to you. If there's anything you can't handle, go to Divine Wood City and find Senior Brother Yue."

After giving Zhuo Ming a few instructions, Chen Mobai rode the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk and flew out of Giant Wood Ridge with his two disciples.

The three's first stop was Jade Pot Market, which was closest to the Divine Wood Sect.

"Before I Foundation Establishment, I left the sect and headed west. My original intention was to return to Yun Country to see my hometown. Unexpectedly, while observing the mountains and rivers and the blooming and withering of flowers, I felt a sense of opportunity to advance further. So I rented a Cave Mansion in this Jade Pot Market, took the Foundation Establishment, and successfully Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop."

Above the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, Chen Mobai pointed to the Jade Pot Market below and began to repeat the words he had once proclaimed to E Yun and Yuan Chiye.

"Our master is a genius beyond compare."

Liu Wenbai sighed sincerely, while Luo Yixuan looked at him with adoring eyes.

Chen Mobai chuckled awkwardly, feeling a little guilty, and descended on his Crimson Cloud Mist Silk.

There were many Rogue Cultivator at the entrance of the market, as well as some Qi Cultivation Cultivator who mingled in the market as guides. However, after seeing Chen Mobai descending from the sky, they all looked at him with awe, and no one dared to come up.

As everyone knows, those who can fly are all Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Such figures are simply beyond the reach of Qi Cultivation Cultivator like them.

Moreover, Chen Mobai and his two disciples were all exceptionally handsome and had outstanding temperaments. Luo Yixuan, in particular, possessed a fairy-like beauty, clearly indicating that they came from the Great Sect or powerful force.

The survival strategy Rogue Cultivator among independent cultivators is that when encountering such benefactors, it is best to keep a respectful distance to avoid getting involved in unnecessary trouble.

"Let's go. If I remember correctly, the sect's steward is in a shop in the center of the market."

Recalling his previous experience in Jade Pot Market, Chen Mobai led his two apprentices toward the tallest three-story building in the market.

"I have met the garrison commander."

In the market, the deacon of the Divine Wood Sect is named Pang Guangmin, a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, who is now Chen Mobai's subordinate.

Within the next ten years, all disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in the five major markets of the newly Jian Country will be under Chen Mobai's command.

"How many disciples of our sect are there in the market?"

"Twenty-seven people."

How is the industry?

"Of the thirty-six shops in Jade Pot Market, our sect controls twelve. We use four for our own purposes and rent out eight, each for one hundred and fifty Spirit Stone. In addition to the shops, the forty-eight First Tier Cave Mansion and twenty-four Second Tier Cave Mansion above the market's Spirit Vein also belong to the sect, bringing in approximately eight hundred Spirit Stone annually. Furthermore, our sect maintains the market's protective Grand Array, and the shops in the market contribute three hundred and sixty Spirit Stone annually as compensation for the hard work of the senior brothers in the Array Department."

Pang Guangmin was also a man of action, and he knew the Divine Wood Sect's businesses in the entire Jade Pot Market like the back of his hand.

"In that case, the sect can earn more than two thousand Spirit Stone from this market every year."

Chen Mobai mentally calculated the approximate amount of income.

"Reporting to the garrison commander, when Garrison Commander Liu returned to the sect at the end of last year to report, the total income in my report was 4,587 Spirit Stone."

Pang Guangmin spoke these words cautiously, because he didn't know whether Liu Ruzhong would ultimately hand over this income to the sect.

"Wen Bai."

Chen Mobai called out to his Senior Disciple. Some time ago, he was busy with the Puppet Factory and had Liu Wenbai in charge of checking the various sect information that Jian Guo Town Guardian could access in the Transmission Department.

"Reporting to Master, the quantity is basically correct."

With outsiders present, Liu Wenbai spoke rather tactfully, but Chen Mobai understood his meaning, nodded, and said nothing more.

But Pang Guangmin broke out in a cold sweat.

"Master, the income from the businesses that Deacon Pang mentioned in the market is fixed, so there are basically no problems with the accounts. However, it is easier to do accounting for the shops run by the sect itself."

As Luo Yixuan spoke, she glanced at Pang Guangmin, who was constantly wiping his sweat, with a half-smile. Before she joined the Divine Wood Sect, she had spent a few years in the markets of Yun Country and knew a thing or two about the ins and outs of it.

"Governor, I have records of my accounts for the past sixteen years since I came here. If you want to see them, I can bring them to you."

Without any hesitation, Pang Guangmin immediately began to prove his innocence.

"That won't be necessary. After all, it happened during Senior Brother Liu's tenure. If I investigate further, wouldn't the previous garrison commanders also become restless?"

Liu Ruzhong wasn't the only one guarding the Jian Country. Moreover, since it was the location of the Divine Wood Sect, every guard had a powerful background and could probably connect to the two patriarchs. Why would Chen Mobai make enemies of these people?

"Come with me to take a look at the sect's shops. By the way, if I, as the garrison commander, hadn't come this year, wouldn't those eight shops still be unrented?"

As Chen Mobai walked, he asked a question, and Pang Guangmin immediately followed behind him, answering quickly.

"Reporting to the garrison commander, the sect has a rule that if a cultivator who rented a shop last year is willing and their business does not affect the sect's reputation, they can be allowed to renew their lease."

"If I want to rent a shop this year, is there any way you can arrange it, Deacon Pang?"

Chen Mobai's words made Pang Guangmin sweat even more. Those who could rent shops from the Divine Wood Sect were naturally not insignificant figures; they were either Cultivating Family or merchant guilds from the Eastern Wasteland.

"If the garrison commander wants one, I will arrange one immediately."

Ultimately, his superior's authority was stronger, and Pang Guangmin only hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and agreeing.
