Cooperation and the Establishment of a Chamber of Commerce
Li Yunjing was aware of the rapid development of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
However, Li Yunjing didn't pay much attention to this matter.
All I know is that Luozhen Treasure Pavilion rose to fame because of the Luozhen Sect, and that the goods it sells are indeed quite good.
Therefore, it has a good reputation among cultivators.
Li Yunjing never expected that Luozhen Treasure Pavilion would squeeze the living space of other treasure pavilions in Xunxian Town to such a narrow extent.
This has actually driven these treasure pavilions to the brink of life and death.
But even at this point, it's naturally impossible for Li Yunjing to back down.
The cultivation Immortal Realm is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, especially under these circumstances.
How could Li Yunjing possibly spit out the meat that was already in his mouth?
However, after careful consideration, Li Yunjing realized that although neither side was willing to compromise, it didn't have to come to the point of a fight to the death.
Wouldn't a win-win situation be better?
"Shen Chun, do you think these treasure pavilions could choose to cooperate with the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion?" Li Yunjing asked.
Shen Chun was taken aback, not understanding Li Yunjing's words.
But I still followed Li Yunjing's words and kept thinking.
After thinking it over carefully, Shen Chun frowned and shook his head:
"Sect Leader, I'm afraid that will be very difficult to do."
I can't fathom what reason those treasure pavilions would have to cooperate with the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "It's simple. Just like you did before, use Luozhen Treasure Pavilion as a platform to lend to other treasure pavilions."
We can renovate Luozhen Treasure Pavilion, acquire several other pavilions in the surrounding Luozhen Treasure Pavilion, and expand the scale of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
After that, let the other treasure pavilions in Xunxian Town join Luozhen Treasure Pavilion, and give them the reputation of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
They could even lend some of their resources to these treasure pavilions.
"With the growing reputation of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion, these treasure pavilions will likely benefit considerably."
After listening, Shen Chun thought about it carefully.
"Sect Leader, doing this Luozhen Treasure Pavilion at a disadvantage!"
The reputation and resources that Luozhen Treasure Pavilion built up on its own were directly lent to them.
Even if Luozhen Treasure Pavilion were to reap some profits from this, it would still be a loss for them.
"Sect Leader, I don't recommend doing this," Shen Chun said, shaking his head.
Li Yunjing smiled and explained:
Whether it's a loss or not depends on different perspectives.
From your perspective, it is indeed a loss.
However, from a long-term perspective, it may not necessarily be a loss.
"Sect Leader, what do you mean by that?" Shen Chun raised an eyebrow.
Li Yunjing said, "It's simple. Luozhen Treasure Pavilion and these other treasure pavilions will form a chamber of commerce, named after Luozhen."
By joining the Chamber of Commerce, these treasure pavilions can gain support from the reputation and resources of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
There's one prerequisite: regardless of which treasure pavilion it is, the name must be changed. While retaining the original name, the name of the Luozhen Chamber of Commerce must be added.
Upon hearing this, Shen Chun's eyes immediately lit up.
"What the sect leader wants is a good reputation!" Shen Chun said.
Li Yunjing nodded. "Indeed."
Actually, sharing resources and fame isn't a big problem.
The Luozhen Treasure Pavilion currently possesses a considerable amount of resources, so even if some of them were to be distributed, it wouldn't be a major problem.
Luozhen Treasure Pavilion is currently unable to utilize all its resources.
Allocating a portion of it can be considered a reasonable use of these resources.
As long as the other treasure pavilions in Xunxian Town agree to this...
Li Yunjing had achieved the first step of his goal.
Li Yunjing had long wanted to establish a chamber of commerce.
The benefits that a chamber of commerce can bring are far greater than those of a Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
Moreover, as the Luozhen Sect grows stronger, the influence of the Chamber of Commerce will also expand.
With such a chamber of commerce in his hands, Li Yunjing now possessed a powerful weapon.
You should learn about economic sanctions.
If any fool in the Tianyuan Five Provinces dares to provoke the Luozhen Sect...
With the help of the influential chamber of commerce, Li Yunjing could achieve the sanctions without having to put in too much effort.
Small, insignificant sects have virtually no countermeasures against this situation.
Only major sects can rely on their foundation and connections to survive.
But in the long run, it definitely won't last.
A good reputation is essential for a chamber of commerce to achieve this level of influence.
Without a prestigious reputation, who would even notice you?
Therefore, if those treasure pavilions in Xunxian Town were willing to join the Luozhen Sect Chamber of Commerce...
Therefore, we must abide by the rules specified by Li Yunjing.
In this way, the reputation of the Luozhen Sect Chamber of Commerce will gradually expand.
This was Li Yunjing's true purpose.
Shen Chun was somewhat excited at this moment.
He also understood Li Yunjing's true intentions in doing so.
The Tianyuan Five Provinces are not without chambers of commerce.
Take, for example, the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
That would be a behemoth even within the Tianyuan Five Provinces.
The chamber of commerce includes many major sects.
The Luozhen Chamber of Commerce is still in its infancy.
However, Shen Chun didn't know why he compared Luozhen Chamber of Commerce and Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce.
For no other reason than Shen Chun felt that Li Yunjing was capable of doing this.
"Sect Leader, I will do as you say," Shen Chun said.
Li Yunjing nodded and discussed some details with Shen Chun.
It mainly concerns the Chamber of Commerce.
After discussing the Chamber of Commerce matters, Shen Chun planned to leave.
But then he suddenly stopped.
"Sect Leader, there's one more thing. They asked me to pass on their congratulations to you from Black Mountain."
Furthermore, Black Mountain sent fifteen sets of Buddhist robes as a congratulatory gift.
These fifteen robes were made overnight in Black Mountain, and are of good quality.
As Shen Chun spoke, he took out a Storage Bag from his pocket.
Li Yunjing took the Storage Bag and asked:
How's the situation over there?
Shen Chun said, "Everything is on track. As far as I know, we can probably make about thirty robes every month from now on."
It's only a first-grade robe, but the quality is quite good, reaching the Profound Grade.
Li Yunjing nodded slightly.
"Hmm, not bad."
Tell Guan Xingzhou that he should just let him know what he needs. Once the technology and production over there are up and running, they'll be very busy.
Shen Chun said, "It's the sect leader."
After bowing, Shen Chun left, and Li Yunjing took the Storage Bag and probed it with his Divine Sense.
All fifteen robes are of the first grade, with a quality of Profound Grade, which is quite good.
Li Yunjing doesn't need it, but he can give it to the disciples of the Luozhen Sect.
After putting away the Storage Bag, Li Yunjing went to the private room.
The Golden Core Elixir Ceremony was drawing to a close.
After Li Yunjing finished his sermon, the entire Golden Core Elixir Ceremony came to an end.
One by one, the guests who had come to the banquet departed, Li Yunjing saw off some of his close associates as they left Luozhen Sect.
Before long, the once bustling Luozhen Sect returned to its desolate state.
The disciples of the Luozhen Sect were tidying up, while Li Yunjing and Nangong Chengyu strolled Luozhen Sect.
"Yunjing, I never imagined that the Luozhen Sect would be in such a prosperous state!" Nangong Chengyu's face was flushed with excitement.
Today's experience left Nangong Chengyu unable to calm down for a long time.
He hadn't seen the Luozhen Sect in such a grand state for a long time.
He had witnessed it once when he was eight years old and had joined the Luozhen Sect.
At that time, his senior uncle successfully Foundation Establishment, Luozhen Sect specially held Foundation Establishment banquet.
Little did anyone know that the Luozhen Sect would never again experience such a grand occasion after that.
Now, at the age of 108, a full century has passed, and he has witnessed such a grand occasion once again.
And it was even grander than what he had seen when he was eight years old.
"Master, the Luozhen Sect will only get better and better in the future," Li Yunjing said with a smile.
Nangong Chengyu nodded; he trusted his disciple.
"Yunjing, come with me. I have something to give you."
