"Who are the most numerous? The poor, of course!"

"Forehead!"

Yi Xuan originally wanted to ask Fatty Lin what the most common professions were in the world, but Fatty Lin's answer left Yi Xuan speechless.

Moreover, Yi Xuan had no way to refute it, because this world indeed had the most poor people, or rather, Fatty Lin had already seen the true nature of most of the world. Because, whether looking at his past life or this life, it seems that the world has the most poor people.

Of course, there is a fundamental difference between what Yi Xuan considers poverty and what Fatty Lin considers poverty. Fatty Lin's definition of poverty is exactly what it sounds like, and he is not wrong.

Despite the fact that this world is Immortal Script, cultivators are still a tiny minority. The most basic components of this world are ordinary people, and the poor are indeed the majority of this world.

Yi Xuan's view of poverty is closer to the essence than Fatty Lin's. In Yi Xuan's view, poverty is simply the uneven distribution of resources.

In other words, a small number of people in a world hold a large amount of productive wealth, while the majority of the rest can only control a small amount of the remaining productive wealth. This naturally creates a gap between the rich and the poor, and this is how poverty comes about.

"Hmm..." Yi Xuan pondered for a while and then nodded, saying, "Fatty Lin, what you said is indeed correct, but that's not what I wanted to say!"

Fatty Lin didn't say anything, but sat there looking at Yi Xuan with some anxiety.

His mind was completely occupied with how to make money, and he had no desire to listen to Yi Xuan's long-winded explanation. But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. After all, the best way to make money was in Yi Xuan's hands. No matter how anxious Fatty Lin was, he could only sit there obediently and wait for Yi Xuan to speak.

Yi Xuan knew what Fatty Lin was thinking. Based on his understanding of Fatty Lin, as long as the topic of making money came up, Fatty Lin's attention would be completely captured, and nothing else could sway him.

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore! Actually, have you noticed that we've been falling into some misunderstandings before?"

"Um?"

Fatty Lin was a little confused. Before the air conditioner was copied, its sales were quite good. So where did Yi Xuan get the idea that the business had gone astray?

Yi Xuan looked at the silent Fatty Lin and said with a smile, "Think about the fans from before, and then think about the air conditioners now!"

Upon hearing Yi Xuan's words, a flash of inspiration struck Fatty Lin, and everything seemed to be laid bare before him as if the fog had been cleared.

Sometimes people are like that; it's not that they lack knowledge or ability, but sometimes they just lack guidance.

Fatty Lin, enlightened by Yi Xuan, looked at Yi Xuan with excitement and said, "You mean we shouldn't blindly pursue high profits on individual items and abandon ordinary people with insufficient purchasing power?"

Yi Xuan nodded. "I remember there were counterfeit fans back then, right? But why was the impact of counterfeits on us negligible at that time?"

Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "Because our fans are inexpensive, and our quality is indeed much better than those knock-offs, even if there are knock-off fans, it won't have much of an impact on us!"

Seeing the smile in Yi Xuan's eyes, Fatty Lin shook his arm anxiously and said with a fawning expression, "Brother Yi, my Immortal Master Yi, please stop answering my questions and just tell me how to make money!"

Yi Xuan raised his hand and swiped the bracelet on his right hand, and a holographic projection appeared between the two of them.

Seeing a holographic projection for the first time, Fatty Lin was curious but not alarmed. Instead, he waved his hand a few times on the projection. Then, with a touch of admiration, he said, "Your immortal Law Technique is so convenient! This one trick alone is enough for me, Fatty Lin, to envy for a lifetime!"

As one of the wealthiest men in the city at the foot of the Azure Cloud Sect Mountain, Fatty Lin had naturally seen the Imaging Technique of cultivators before, and at this moment he mistook Yi Xuan's holographic projection for Imaging Technique.

Yi Xuan didn't bother to correct him, but instead manipulated the bracelet a few times, and a strange device appeared between the two of them.

Looking at the strangely shaped square box with two unusually long handles on the back, Fatty Lin asked with a puzzled expression, "What is this thing?"

"This thing is called 'Donkey-Killer'!"

"What the hell? A donkey? You don't even look like a donkey, you have neither a tail nor ears!"

"This isn't a donkey! It's Donkey-Killer' thing, meaning there's something that even made a donkey angry to death!"

That's right, what Yi Xuan showed Fatty Lin was the small agricultural machine that farmers used to jokingly call "the kind that Donkey-Killer" in his previous life.

Yi Xuan patiently explained to Fatty Lin, "Remember the question I asked you at the beginning? What kind of people are there most in this world? Now I'll tell you, there are farmers most in this world!"

After thinking about it, Fatty Lin realized that Yi Xuan wasn't wrong.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this world is Immortal Script; how many ordinary people can actually cultivate immortality? If one child out of ten thousand ordinary people has the Immortal Spirit Root for cultivation, that's considered incredibly lucky.

What about the remaining 9,999 people? Even if there are members of the royal family, wealthy families, and children of officials among them, what happens after removing these people? There are probably still 9,990 people left. Unless they have some special opportunities, farming will be their way of life for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, Yi Xuan wanted to use the Donkey-Killer in his hand to capture the remaining 9,990 people. These people may have limited wealth, but their numbers were enormous.

Even if each person could earn Yi Xuan and his companion one tael of silver, the combined profit from the hundreds of millions of people in the Cultivation Realm would become an astronomical figure.

Yi Xuan's decision to sell the Donkey-Killer was based on its functionality.

Yi Xuan projected the image of the Donkey-Killer in front of Fatty Lin and began to explain, "See this thing? Don't underestimate its size; it's a farming marvel! It excels at everything from tilling the soil and creating ridges to sowing seeds!"

After that, the projector showed various working scenarios of the Donkey-Killer a type of donkey).

At first, Fatty Lin didn't pay much attention to what Yi Xuan had taken out. But as he looked at it, he realized its benefits. This wasn't just something that Donkey-Killer; it could kill livestock! With this, farmers would never need the help of large animals again!

However, Fatty Lin hesitated and said, "Brother Yi, this thing isn't very expensive, is it? I have quite a few tenant farmers on my estate outside, and if it's too expensive, they simply can't afford it!"

Yi Xuan certainly understood this principle, but this level of machinery was not technically demanding and had very low requirements for materials. In addition, with Yi Xuan's automated production line, Yi Xuan had no worries about costs.

Yi Xuan smiled and said, "Who said this thing is for sale? It's a gift!"
