I cultivate immortality on the Sky Island

Chapter 26 Talisman Shop Profits

We chatted for a long time.

The group exchanged message talismans, and Ji Yun escorted them to the outside of the cave.

The places of residence are all not far apart.

They are neighbors on the same island.

Chu Qinghe's cave dwelling is right next to Ji Yun's.

The two sides are separated by only one wall, and you can see each other's backyard from the second floor of the attic.

"This matter has a unique nighttime flavor."

"Go to desolate places to collect garbage, then sell it to the Zhao family in exchange for resources."

Ji Yun returned to his cave dwelling, and the worry in his heart completely disappeared.

We still need to communicate.

This matter was not part of the regular mission, and he would have no way of knowing about it if he hadn't asked.

This system is actually quite reasonable.

Much of the trash from the Night Sea is useless to cultivators, and they dare not use it.

It would be better to give it to the Zhao family.

If the Zhao family can't handle it either, then it can be passed up to the main family, or even further up to the Qingxuan Sect.

Take his sapling, for example.

The late stage of Qi Refining is something that belongs to the top level of the Night Sea. If a cultivator at the lower level tries to cultivate it, they will die, which will inevitably lead to a fierce competition among the upper levels.

Just like the Ji family back then.

They had the opportunity, but lacked the strength to seize it, and were ultimately wiped out by a rainstorm.

But Qingxuanzong might dare to plant it.

If you secretly cultivate it for decades, it might just become a guardian tree for your clan.

"This is simple."

"This is my specialty."

Ji Yun nodded to himself; he had foreseen this day when he chose his cultivation method.

Whether you're looking for bargains in the market or scavenging for scraps, your spiritual sense is absolutely crucial.

He possesses divine consciousness.

This task is not difficult at all.

I'll go to the Demon Cultivator Market first, retrieve some rare treasures, exchange them with the Zhao family for a sum of money, and then focus on cultivating for a while.

Wait until the contribution points are used up.

Let's go for a stroll around Wanshihai.

……

next morning.

Another person came to visit.

This time, it was the Zhao family's immortal seedlings who came.

There were six people in total, five of whom were at the second level of Qi Refining, all around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a difference of two or three years between them.

They had all participated in the Celestial Trials.

But no one passed.

The last person is at the first level of Qi Refining, with exceptional talent. He is sixteen years old this year and has a certain probability of passing the Immortal Trial.

All six were male cultivators.

But it's different from offerings to people from other families.

Each of the Zhao family's celestial offspring prepared gifts and visited the new ancestral shrine on behalf of their respective branches to establish ties with the new ancestral shrine.

The person he befriended was not Ji Yun as a person, but rather his status as a retainer.

As Zhao Mingde said before.

Young people can make friends and support each other on their path to immortality.

This is for the future.

These promising young talents of the Zhao family will be the backbone of the Zhao family in the future.

Perhaps decades from now, they will replace the current generation of the Zhao family and lead the family to continue developing on the third level of the Night Sea.

At that time, Ji Yun was a senior retainer of the Zhao family, or the Zhao family's son-in-law.

At this point, the two sides established an alliance ahead of time.

This is a long-term strategy that benefits both sides without any drawbacks.

Ji Yun received them properly.

He also chatted with a few people.

Although he had no chance of staying at the Zhao family's house for long, he had to give face to the family.

Half an hour later.

The group bowed and took their leave.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."

"No one else should be coming."

Ji Yun watched them leave, sighed softly, and felt a sense of annoyance.

He is indeed skilled in social interaction.

But that doesn't mean he enjoys it.

Such meaningless conversations are nothing more than a waste of time.

……

Half a month later.

Ji Yun told the maid that he would be going into seclusion for a few days, and then used his newly learned stealth technique to quietly leave Zhao Family Island.

He did not use any magical implements.

He fell into the lower layers of the night sea in his physical body.

But its speed increased, and its movements became more agile, as if it were flying over the night sea.

This is a new spell he created based on the flying techniques he learned in his previous life.

In the past, only Foundation Establishment cultivators could travel through the clouds without relying on external forces.

However, gravity is weak at night.

The situation is completely different from that of my previous life.

So he improved upon the flying techniques he had learned in his previous life and created this flying spell.

This can help avoid being seen by the Zhao family.

By combining this method with the art of concealment, he became like a night hawk, able to roam the night sea without revealing the slightest trace of his spiritual energy.

"This feels quite refreshing."

"The speed is not slow either, with a touch of the Foundation Establishment cultivator's ability to travel on clouds."

Ji Yun rode the wind forward.

Only after leaving the Zhao family's territory did he take out Song Laomo's flying boat from his storage bag and head towards the Demon Cultivator Market.

……

after a while.

The Demon Cultivation Market, its own floating island.

Ji Yun landed on the sky island, put away the flying boat, and strode into the central courtyard's reception room.

"Fellow Daoist Song, why haven't you replied to the message?"

"I've been so anxious these past few days that I haven't been able to eat or drink, and I've been waiting day and night for your reply."

Zhou Meiren had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When she saw Ji Yun enter, she gracefully stood up, her red lips parted, and she asked in a rather resentful tone.

She was as graceful and beautiful as ever, a feast for the eyes.

"Are the talismans sold out?"

"Have you encountered any trouble?"

Ji Yun remained calm and went straight to the point.

"Yes, not a single one was kept."

"I did encounter some trouble, but I've dealt with it all."

"Since I can't rely on anyone else anyway, what can I do if I don't put in my best effort?"

Zhou Meiren bit her lower lip lightly, raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and gave Ji Yun a light glare, like a wife complaining about her husband who hadn't been home for a long time.

"This is for next month."

Ji Yun took out a stack of talismans.

In his previous life, he was born into a demonic sect and had experienced all sorts of enchanting women.

They had a very thorough understanding of these female cultivators, knowing them inside and out.

If Zhou Meiren had encountered a problem that was difficult to solve, she would have already used a communication talisman to ask him for help. Since she didn't ask him, then it must be nothing serious.

"Is Fellow Daoist Song really so heartless?"

"I've diligently managed your talisman shop, offending many people in the process, yet you won't even utter a single word of sympathy?"

Zhou Meiren's tone changed slightly as she bit her lip and looked at Ji Yun, asking softly.

"I will teach these maids the first-grade low-level talisman drawing techniques for these three types of talismans, and you will also receive a share of the talisman shop's profits in the future."

Ji Yun spoke calmly.

Zhou Meiren's reaction today is nothing more than a matter of profit distribution.

It seems that the profits from talisman shops are astonishing, but the risks and returns are mismatched.

This made her feel somewhat resentful.

Selling unique talismans can indeed easily attract trouble, even the covetousness of the Hundred Netherworld Sect, and dealing with it properly is not an easy task.

Zhou Meiren never asked him for help, which shows that this woman is indeed quite capable.

In that case, we might as well formally discuss cooperation with her.

She wasn't given a single cent.

It is certainly not a long-term solution.

If you want to continue being a hands-off manager in the future, you'll eventually have to give her a share.

"Splitting?"

"What percentage?"

Zhou Meiren raised her eyebrows slightly, and her voice suddenly became calm and steady, completely different from before.

We'll talk about it later.

"Let's talk about the benefits first."

Ji Yun sat in the main seat.

"The talisman you gave me last time sold for five thousand catties of spirit sand."

"But this matter has had a significant impact, attracting the attention of many people in secret, which was indeed beyond my expectations."

Zhou Meiren sat down next to Ji Yun and sighed softly, but her tone was no longer resentful.

"Can you handle this?" Ji Yun asked her.

"Yes." Zhou Meiren nodded calmly.

"What percentage do you want?" Ji Yun asked again.

"I can do without it."

Zhou Meiren chuckled softly, her gaze meeting Ji Yun's eyes directly.

"Thirty percent."

Ji Yun made a direct decision, interrupting Zhou Meiren's subsequent remarks.

He roughly estimated that if the last batch of talismans could sell for 5,000 catties of spirit sand, then the total monthly income would be stable at over 20,000 catties.

The second floor of the Night Sea Hotel is considered a huge investment.

Old Demon Song's life savings were barely worth this much.

Such substantial profits would be enough to attract the siege of demonic cultivators. If Zhou Meiren can withstand them, then she deserves these profits.
