861 Starting a Business (1/2)
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.
