Chapter 341 Discovering New Business Opportunities
With the help of two new elixirs, Wanbaoge successfully established itself in various parts of Cangzhou and continued to open branches.
Previously, it was only available in some slightly larger cities, but now it can't be ignored in some medium-sized cities either.
Pills are consumables after all. Once a cultivator buys and consumes them, they will continue to purchase more. Therefore, the demand for these two types of pills and Wanbaoge is constantly increasing and will not decrease.
Xu Hao successfully broke through to the Profound Core Realm by relying on the two components of these two pills. His Ancient Sacred Body only requires a lot of resources for cultivation and breakthrough. Once the resources are truly unlimited, breakthrough is not difficult.
This further solidified his belief, leading him to decide to continue buying back various valuable items from the Immortal Realm, aiming for a win-win situation for both himself and the Xu family.
Meanwhile, the Xu family spent a lot of spirit stones and resources in Cangzhou and even several nearby continents, and finally found the sacred medicine to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill.
There are also many seedlings and seeds of sacred medicine. The growth time of sacred medicine is too long. Ordinary forces may become extinct before the seedlings and seeds mature.
Therefore, most forces would choose to make a move, and the Xu family would buy it back so that it could be planted in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm to shorten the growth cycle of the sacred medicine.
With all the sacred medicines prepared, Xu Chu, who had already mastered the secrets of alchemy, began to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill.
Xu Qingzhou planned to leave the Heavenly Spirit Pill unused after it was finished being refined, and then hold a large-scale auction in the name of Wanbaoge after he had accumulated some more treasures.
We'll use the Heavenly Spirit Pill as a gimmick to invite major powers from Cangzhou and even the surrounding continents.
None of these powerful forces would refuse the Heavenly Spirit Pill, after all, it is a rare pill that can improve even Saint Realm experts.
This auction marked the beginning of the Xu family and Wanbaoge's rise to fame and fortune.
When the time comes, there will be a constant stream of forces wanting to cooperate with Wanbaoge and befriend the Xu family.
With many friends, the Xu family only needs to give an order, and they can purchase the necessary supplies, such as spiritual items of the five elements and sacred medicines, for the Xu family in their respective continents.
This is a virtuous cycle.
.....
Having tasted success, Xu Hao then arrived at the Immortal Realm's Qilan City.
After a year of experimentation, he discovered a characteristic of double-door systems: the door would reappear in the same place it opened to leave.
It can even be used to escape when necessary, but after escaping, it will take a long time to return, since it could be dangerous if the other party is lying in wait.
For this reason, Xu Hao rented a secluded courtyard in Qilan City for a long time. No one usually came here, and he also set up various formations around and inside the courtyard.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, Xu Hao instantly appeared in a corner. Only after confirming that no one was around did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Hao tidied himself up, left the courtyard, and headed towards the urban area of Qilan City.
Although Qilan City is a small border town of the Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty in the Qingyun Dao Domain, its area is comparable to that of Duanshan City, only with fewer people.
Upon arriving in the city, Xu Hao headed straight for the street vendor area. Although these stalls only displayed some inexpensive items, they often provided Xu Hao with a lot of inspiration.
The alchemy techniques I bought before, which are commonplace in the immortal realm, were purchased from a stall.
The stall owner thought he had found a fool and made a quick buck.
Xu Hao also made a fortune as a result; it was a win-win situation for both of them.
When he came here again, the stall owner waved and shouted when he saw him.
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu."
Xu Hao walked over.
The stall owner's name was Jin Tianlu. He was thin, had a goatee, and his smile gave him the look of a cunning businessman.
"Brother Xu, you've finally emerged from seclusion. It's been a while since we last met, and I've missed you dearly."
Before Xu Hao left, he told him that he was going into seclusion for a while.
Jin Tianlu didn't miss Xu Hao; he just missed his spirit stones.
Xu Hao didn't reply, his eyes fixed on the items displayed on his stall.
Jin Tianlu quickly introduced them to him one by one.
"Look at this weapon. Although it's only damaged, it was still a low-grade weapon before it was damaged. If you can find a weapon refiner to repair it, it will definitely be a rare and excellent weapon."
"Given our relationship, I'll give you the lowest price, and I can even throw in a few communication jade slips."
He still treated Xu Hao like a fool. An undamaged Earth-rank weapon was worth a lot of spirit stones, but a damaged one was only one-tenth of its original power, and was even inferior to some special Profound-rank weapons. How dare he put it up for sale?
However, Xu Hao made a new discovery and asked, "A communication jade slip? Is it easy to use?"
Jin Tianlu was slightly taken aback. Why was he asking about the gifts instead of looking at the weapons? This guy really didn't know what he was talking about. However, as a professional shrewd merchant, he still subconsciously replied.
"Of course it's useful. It can easily transmit sound within a hundred miles, and the farthest distance is a thousand miles. However, this cannot be given away as a free gift."
Xu Hao couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
It should be known that communication jade slips are a rare commodity in Cangzhou. Back when the Xu family was still in the Great Qian Dynasty, Xu Luo obtained a few communication jade slips and gave them to his brothers as if they were treasures. They also helped him a lot afterward.
The difficulty in crafting a sound transmission jade slip isn't primarily due to the raw materials it uses, which differ from ordinary jade slips.
Jade slips are mostly made of iron jade bamboo. Ordinary jade slips use iron jade bamboo that is a hundred years old, while the iron jade bamboo used for sound transmission jade slips must be at least ten thousand years old.
As Jin Tianlu just mentioned, the kind of jade slip that can transmit sound within a thousand miles uses iron jade bamboo that must be at least 100,000 years old.
The history of Cangzhou is only a few hundred thousand years, and the hegemonic forces in Tianyuan Realm that have existed since the ancient times have only a few hundred thousand years of history.
It's easy to imagine how rare aged iron jade bamboo is.
The Immortal Realm is different. Its history is not measured in tens of thousands, millions, or even millions of years, but in hundreds of millions.
Therefore, while aged Iron Jade Bamboo isn't exactly commonplace in the Immortal Realm, it's certainly not scarce either.
That's why Jin Tianlu was so 'generous' in giving away several communication jade slips as gifts.
Xu Hao naturally understood that since Jin Tianlu had said that, it meant that the Jade Slips for transmitting sound were not only not scarce in the Immortal Realm, but also very cheap.
Since that's the case, I can buy a lot of stuff here and then take it back to Wanbaoge to sell.
Scarcity drives up value. Communication jade slips are relatively rare in Cangzhou, but demand is quite high, resulting in a significant premium. Wanbaoge can definitely make a fortune from these batches of communication jade slips.
"Brother Jin, I have something to do. Let's talk again when I'm done."
Before Jin Tianlu could speak, Xu Hao dashed off.
For bulk purchases of communication jade slips, one would naturally go to a merchant guild, not to this small stall on Jintian Road.
