82. The cunning rabbit itself.
On its opening day, Qianlu Fuye's sales were dismal, and the following days did not see much improvement.
However, as the daring and aggressive first-level agents gradually spread to other immortal workshops, especially large immortal workshops like Yuanji Mountain, cultivators who smelled the business opportunity flocked to Qianlu Immortal Workshop from all directions like flies smelling rotten stench.
Not only are Qianlu Fuye's sales booming, but the accommodation and catering services in the area are also thriving.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the cultivators gradually returned to rationality, no longer as impulsive as before, but instead becoming more measured and steady.
In addition, some monks who couldn't afford printing presses made a living by trading pre-printed talismans, and their income was surprisingly good.
To cope with the ever-increasing purchase volume, Manager Pan had to increase the supply of talisman paper, and even cultivators who specialized in transporting talisman paper appeared.
Taking advantage of his proximity to the source, Deng Yuzhou planned to build a factory with more printing presses and even intended to buy all the remaining equipment at once.
After being stopped by Manager Pan, he then tried to persuade Xu Yan to increase the supply from the source.
Manager Pan secretly revealed that Qianlu Island seems to be behind the factory construction project.
Xu Yan seized the opportunity and offered to provide Deng Yuzhou with a large-scale printing equipment at the price of the Five Directions Spirit Technique... cough, this thing is worthless in the modern world. You can just find a small factory to disassemble and modify it, and then send it over.
Deng Yuzhou's face turned black.
Five Directions Spiritual Technique? Are they desperate for money?!
Young Master Deng turned and left.
So Xu Yan returned to the mortal world, brought back a printing press driven by thunder talismans, and gave a private demonstration.
Small size, low energy consumption, and freely selectable templates...
Everyone, including Deng Yuzhou, went crazy. They spent a full half hour raising the price repeatedly until they couldn't raise it any further, at which point the furious Deng Yuzhou bought it for the exorbitant price of seven and a half square meters.
The 50% premium almost made him regret it terribly.
But there was nothing he could do; he chose this path himself.
If this printing press were to fall into the hands of someone else, Deng Yuzhou would be the first to be unable to forgive himself, not to mention the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators of Qianlu Island.
Xu Yan laughed so hard he couldn't even cover his gums.
One piece of jade magic is worth 3.2 million, so seven and a half pieces would be... more than 200 billion!
Goodness, what was last year's GDP again?
Forget it, the point of traveling between the two worlds is to make huge profits from the price difference. It's meaningless to measure the value of otherworldly resources with modern currency.
The same applies to the opposite.
In short, they made a fortune from this.
With this batch of jade manuals, the Special Security Bureau's experiments can immediately get on the fast track... no, on the high-speed rail!
But he was too happy too soon. It wasn't until the money was settled that he learned Deng Yuzhou didn't actually have that many jade techniques.
Fortunately, this guy was decent enough. After paying for the Four Directions Jade Technique, he handed over a ring with a considerable capacity to Xu Yan.
The ring itself is worth at most one and a half squares, but it also contains many uncut spirit stones, unrefined spirit ores, and a full bottle of pills. All of these things together can offset the remaining two squares of spirit techniques.
To make the whole thing right, Xu Yan brought in Manager Pan. After the latter's professional and meticulous verification, confirming that the price of the goods was roughly the same, the great writer Xu reluctantly agreed.
Yes, that's a huge profit!
Having too much money on him and feeling restless, Xu Yan decided to find a secluded place to return to the real world, hide for a few days, and then come back.
To avoid impacting the market, he also gave Deng Yuzhou a basic introduction to market principles, focusing on what scarcity marketing is.
Deng Yuzhou didn't understand at all, and almost ground his back teeth to powder. When he returned to the sect, he heard that this thing cost seven and a half squares, and everyone was indignant and planned to form a group to cause trouble for Xu Yan.
But once the machine was running, Deng Yuzhou's back pain and leg soreness disappeared instantly, and he even stood up straighter than before.
The others stopped clamoring to find Xu Yan.
Nothing else, it was just too fast.
In less than half an hour, more than 10,000 talismans were printed.
20,000 sheets per hour, that's 240,000 per day. Calculated at a net profit of 7.4 beads per sheet, the net profit per day is definitely more than one and a half square meters!
Seven and a half units, you can earn it back in five or six days at most!
Of course, it won't actually be that fast, and there won't be that many talismans for him to print, but the prospects are definitely calculable.
It's just seven and a half coins, what's the big deal?
There's a reason why things are expensive!
Deng Yuzhou finally understood why Xu Yan had said so many nonsensical things.
The following day, a large number of high-quality and inexpensive talismans were put on the market, causing a frenzy of buying among many cultivators. This continued for several days until the market was completely saturated.
Thus, Qianlu Xianfang's pre-talisman industry began to take shape and started to develop into a pre-talisman distribution center.
In an instant, the entire Immortal Market flourished.
The person who started all this disappeared, only to reappear several days later, asking Manager Pan: "Uncle Pan, have you found the courtyard I wanted?"
Manager Pan immediately took out an array plate and handed it over: "It's ready, it's been ready for a while now."
Xu Yan put away the array plate: "Thank you, Uncle Pan."
"No need to be so formal!" Manager Pan said politely. "Should I send one of my waiters to take you there?"
"That would be best!" Xu Yan nodded in agreement.
Manager Pan immediately called over a quick-witted waiter to take Xu Yan to a small courtyard located on the edge of the Fairy Market.
The courtyard wasn't large, but it was equipped with a protective array. The house was simply furnished, but it was kept fairly clean.
Xu Yan couldn't help but have a thought: From today onwards, this will be his base at Qianlu Immortal Workshop...
He suddenly couldn't help but laugh. He was renting a house in the real world, and he was still renting a house in another world. Was he born to rent a house?
No, no, next time I go back, I have to make sure the Special Security Bureau finds him a good place!
The courtyard wasn't secluded, and Xu Yan didn't really intend to settle down there.
After activating the array plate and isolating the inside from the outside, he immediately moved the cabinet in the corner, took out an entrenching tool, and dug hard. In just one stroke, the shovel head was deeply embedded in the soil.
Using spells is easy to expose, but this thing has no spiritual fluctuations, so it's safer!
Xu Yan dug out the soil, but instead of piling it to one side, he put it directly into his Qiankun bag.
They dug and collected, then dug and collected again, and soon the downward-sloping tunnel was dug. When they felt the depth was about right, they switched to horizontal digging. In less than half a day, a tunnel leading straight out of the village was dug.
The exit was inside the hollowed-out belly of an old tree.
That wasn't all. He went back to the courtyard and dug another tunnel leading to the second exit.
Between the two tunnels, a horizontal passage was dug, so that even if one of the tunnels was blocked by the enemy, one could escape through the other tunnel at any time.
Finally, after disguising the tunnel entrance, installing surveillance cameras, and setting up several traps, he entered the tunnel with satisfaction. He then secretly hid under a tree hole, first taking a few pills, and then meditating to cultivate and refine the medicinal power.
His cultivation level is far too poor, seriously hindering the progress of the plan. We must make up for his shortcomings as soon as possible!
However, once you enter the later stages of Qi Refining, the growth of True Essence slows down significantly, and it takes at least ten days to half a month to accumulate enough True Essence.
Xu Yan is currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He has made up his mind that he will only go out when he breaks through to the eighth level.
But plans can't keep up with changes. Late that night, several furtive figures crept out of the courtyard under the cover of darkness.
