Chapter 861: Starting a Business

Huatian Palace could accumulate so much wealth and make those sects from the Inner worlds – who had saved up their wealth with much difficulty – give their wealth to the palace because only Huatian Palace had treasures from the various immortal cultivation worlds. Of all the immortal cultivation treasures of the Source world, 70 percent were from Huatian Palace.

Warrior sects could not make pills, treasures, Stratagem Destroying Flags, or talismans... All the treasures that they needed could only be bought through the Huatian Palace. Even if they were to pay a price that was several times more than what the item was worth, or even more than ten times the worth of the item, they were still willing to do so. This was because having materials for immortal cultivation such as spiritual medicine and mineral stones was as good as having trash to them. No matter how much they had, they could not make use of them. What was the point?

Mo Wen was not an immortal cultivator. However, he could make spiritual pills. He had received his alchemy skills from the Medicine Sage and perhaps not even immortal cultivators in the Primordial Soul Realm could match his skills. After all, they were not immortal cultivators who had studied alchemy in detail. Even if they were in the Primordial Soul Realm, they might not be skilled at alchemy.

Based on his alchemy skills right now, it would not be a problem for him to make sixth-grade spiritual pills. If he tried his best, he could make seventh-grade spiritual pills. If he were lucky, he might even be able to make eighth-grade spiritual pills.

According to the prices of goods in Dragon City, a sixth-grade spiritual pill was worth at least 2000 spiritual stones. Mo Wen could already see a large number of spiritual stones heading towards him.

The best thing about the warrior sects of the Inner world was that they had a lot of stupid people who had a lot of money...

“What! You are a member of Huatian Palace’s Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall!” Tang Zhizhi looked at Mo Wen with her eyes wide in shock. After Mo Wen told them that he was a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, Tang Zhizhi’s mouth hung open so wide that an entire egg could fit in.

“Is that very weird?” Mo Wen asked.

Was that very weird? Weirdness alone could not express what Tang Zhizhi was feeling. Tang Zhizhi had always felt proud that she was a three-star executor of the Huatian Palace. She thought that was why Mo Wen had hired her at such a high rate. However, she had not expected Mo Wen to be someone from Huatian Palace as well. And he was from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall!

Those from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall were at least eight-star executors. Some of them were almost nine-star executors. There were even some legendary ten-star executors who exist there!

Didn’t that mean that Mo Wen was at least an eight-star executor?!

“Mo Wen! Are you the Mo Wen who joined the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall not long ago?”

Tang Zhizhi suddenly thought of something. Not long ago, there were rumors that a very young man had joined the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall. The person seemed to be called Mo Wen. She had not thought too much about it in the past and had not thought about it until now despite the name. After all, there were many people in Hua Xia who had the same name.

“Tang Zhizhi, since the people from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall have special rights in Dragon City, then I need a shop. Help me contact the person who is in charge of this,” Mo Wen said.

“Are you going to start a business in Dragon City? Even though members of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall can rent a shop here, the rental fees are very expensive. If you are a private business owner, your shop in Dragon City has to make money.”

Tang Zhizhi was Mo Wen’s guide. As such, she naturally knew Dragon City very well. Indeed, there were people like Mo Wen from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall who suddenly had the idea of opening a shop in Dragon City. However, most of them did not last very long. The reason was simple: they were making a loss.

The rental cost of the shops in Dragon City was exorbitant and unimaginably expensive. Furthermore, business might not be good. Even though there were many wealthy people in Dragon City, there were also many businesses. As such, there was plenty of competition. If the shops were not specialty shops, it was very easy to make a loss.

“Of course I have a plan,” Mo Wen said lightly.

He looked at Su Wan’er and Wang Qian and asked, “Wan’er, lass, are you two interested in making money?”

“Making money? Can we do that?” Su Wan’er blinked. Warriors like them had a hard time making money in Dragon City. They were bullied by bad people even when they were helping elders from their sects to sell things.

Wang Qian looked at Mo Wen curiously as well. She did not know what he meant when he asked them if they wanted to make money.

“If the two of you help to mind my shop, I will pay you each 10 spiritual stones a day. How about that?” Mo Wen said.

Since he was going to open a shop, he would need someone to look after it for him. He still had to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention in Dragon City and could not stay in the shop all day.

“10 Spiritual Stones a day!”

Su Wan’er stared at him with her eyes wide and an expression of incredulity on her face. She had never imagined that she would be able to make money in Dragon City, let alone so much money! A spiritual stone was equivalent to 100 Dragon Coins. Even when her sect leader and sect uncle risked their lives hunting in the Dragon Desolate world, they might not even make 100 dragon coins a day.

She was only helping to mind a shop and could earn 10 spiritual stones a day. That was completely beyond her wildest dreams.

Wang Qian was shocked as well. She thought she had heard wrongly. 10 spiritual stones a day! Was she dreaming?

Even Tang Zhizhi was shocked as well. As a guide, she only received a spiritual stone a day, and that was a fixed price by Huatian Palace. She was also a three-star executor of the Huatian Palace, which was why the price was so high.

Receiving 10 spiritual stones a day for minding a shop had never been seen before. It had never even been heard of before.

“Elder Brother Mo, we are of course willing to help you if you need our help. I would be super happy even if you just give me a few dragon coins. You don’t have to give me that many spiritual stones.”

Su Wan’er had never imagined that she would be able to make so much money, much less think of asking Mo Wen to give her so much money.

“This is the standard rate for our shop. The lowest pay a worker will earn a day is 10 spiritual stones. Tang Zhizhi, are you interested in this? If you come as well, I will give you 20 spiritual stones a day as payment,” Mo Wen said, looking at Tang Zhizhi.

He had intentionally quoted them such a high salary. His goal was to attract Tang Zhizhi. While Su Wan’er and Wang Qian could both be trusted, their abilities were limited. It might be a little difficult for them to manage a shop.

Tang Zhizhi was an executor from Huatian Palace and understood Dragon City well enough. With her around, he would not have to worry about the matters of the shop.

“20 spiritual stones!”

Tang Zhizhi was shocked by this figure. She only received one spiritual stone a day as a guide. Furthermore, she had to hand over a large part of this amount to the Huatian Palace. She did not receive many spiritual stones from this in the end.

“Alright, I will work in your shop.”

Tang Zhizhi barely hesitated at all before she nodded. 20 spiritual stones a day! It was worth it even if she only worked for one day. It was way more than what she would earn as a guide. Since Mo Wen was a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, his word could naturally be trusted.

Next, Mo Wen found the Huatian Palace manager who managed the shops. Using his status as an eight-star executor, he was granted the right to rent a shop. Mo Wen was from the Huatian Palace, and the manager wanted to show him respect. He not only agreed to rent Mo Wen a shop, but he even allocated him a shop with a pretty decent location.

However, the rental fee for the shop was quite high. It was 100 spiritual stones a day. No wonder some people would suffer losses when they opened a shop in Dragon City.

Even though one could earn a lot of money in Dragon City, the money made by Huatian Palace was even more. Huatian Palace was like a vampire.

100 spiritual stones were no big deal to Mo Wen. The shop was quickly ready and began to do business.

Mo Wen had quite a number of spiritual pills on him to begin with. He took out almost all of his supplies to get the shop started. In the past, when he made spiritual pills, most of them were first, second, and third-grade spiritual pills. The grade of these pills was not high, and they could not be sold in the Trading Palace Hall. However, they sold like hot cakes in the shop.

After all, those who came to the Business District to buy things all had limited purchasing power. Even if you were to bring out seven or eight-grade spiritual pills, no one can afford them. Those who could afford it would not come to the Business District and would just go straight to the Trading Palace Hall.

Mo Wen took out a large pile of pills. They were all for different purposes. For example, there were pills for cultivation, for healing, for one to have a breakthrough in cultivation, pills to improve one’s constitution... Mo Wen had a large variety of pills. He had almost every single type of spiritual pill.

Tang Zhizhi, Su Wan’er, and Wang Qian were all shell-shocked when they saw Mo Wen taking out so many spiritual pills in one go. There were so many! How did Mo Wen have so many spiritual pills on him? It was unimaginable.

Cultivation Pills, Green Soul Pills, Heart Nourishing Pills...

Mo Wen had Heart Nourishing Pills of all grades from one to five. He also had various spiritual pills of all five grades. Only an experienced and highly skilled alchemist would have such a comprehensive collection of spiritual pills.

Tang Zhizhi, Su Wan’er, and Wang Qian started to get busy with the shop. They arranged the goods on the shelves, allocated prices to the spiritual pills, and made promotional posters...They all enjoyed their work. They finally knew why Mo Wen wanted to open a shop. He had so many spiritual pills that it was practically an unimaginable sum of wealth. And this was the first time they were managing such a big business. They were selling spiritual pills with expertise. In the past, only Huatian Palace had this ability.

The prices that Mo Wen allocated to the spiritual pills were on par with the market rate. After all, there were too many shops in Dragon City. As such, there was naturally quite a bit of competition selling spiritual pills. If he lowered the prices, it might lead to disputes, and he would be seen as intentionally breaking the market rules. After all, if all the shops lowered their prices and started a price war, it would lead to everyone suffering a loss and would not benefit anyone at all.

However, even though the prices that Mo Wen set for the spiritual pills were according to market rate, he also introduced several sales tactics. For example, buy two get one free, and the more you buy, the more you get free. He also had vouchers and discount coupons, so on and so forth... With all these sales tactics, the price of the goods in Mo Wen’s shop was significantly lower than in other shops.

While selling spiritual pills, Mo Wen also bought spiritual medicines as well. The price he offered was slightly higher than the market rate. He also rolled out a promotional activity in which one could exchange spiritual medicine for spiritual pills. Through this, he bought a large amount of spiritual medicine.

After all, the stock he had was limited and he could only sell the spiritual pills for a few days. Moreover, his stock of spiritual medicine was limited as well. Even if he were to make all of that into spiritual pills, it was inadequate. As such, he had to buy a large amount of spiritual medicine. This way, it would ensure that he had sufficient raw materials to make spiritual pills and could continue to produce spiritual pills without stopping.

Of course, all that was handled by Tang Zhizhi and the others. Mo Wen, on the other hand, returned to the hotel. He found a quiet room and took out the Flame Divine Furnace and immediately started to make spiritual pills without stopping. The spiritual pills were not very useful to him. However, if he sold them, he would be able to bring in piles and piles of spiritual stones.

Mo Wen’s business was very popular, and in the blink of an eye, the Heaven, Earth, and Man List competition arrived. The inner city of Dragon City slowly opened its doors on this day. A large number of warriors entered the inner city and the entire Dragon City bustled as it had never before.

The competition was before the sect ranking competition. Any warrior who fulfilled the criteria could register for it. It was not limited to warriors from the main space. As such, the young and talented warriors from various inner worlds gathered in Dragon City and prepared for the competition to vie for a spot on the list.
