Chapter 66: Shi An builds the foundation
Time has passed in a hurry, and the influence of Yizhige is getting bigger and bigger.
In the first half a year of its opening, Shi An has been committed to promoting the "Yizhi series of tools", from the beginning of the free gift, to retail-oriented, and then more and more industry owners began to order in bulk, since then the business has been out of control, the façade is getting bigger and bigger, the more and more people are recruited, and the business volume is getting bigger and bigger. When the Pavilion of Ease had no time to clone, Shi An taught the production method of such tools to several other formation shops, and in return, these shops also paid some fees to the Pavilion every year.
The "Yi Talisman Knife" that had made great contributions to Shi An in Kaiyuan City had also come in handy now, and the monks who had not yet reached the middle stage of Qi refining and some mortals who were talented in carving formation talismans had also entered this profession, and driven by interests, they continued to develop more and more formation tools suitable for mortals. Now tools such as "Yi Zhi Hoe", "Yi Zhi Shovel" and "Yi Zhi Axe" have gradually become indispensable objects in the Twin Towers City, and the production and life of all the people in the city have been greatly improved. The formation karma of the Twin Towers City began to embark on a path of serving mortals.
Yizhige launched the blessing formation in a timely manner, first of all, the industrial blessing formation needs of the industrial owner, and at the beginning of a period of time, the owners of mines, breeding farms and elixir fields scoffed at this, and when the industry using the formation tasted the sweetness of using the blessing formation, "the stone slab of the Twin Towers City" became a strange phenomenon. Because the workflow of making large-scale formations in Yizhige has become the same as in Kaiyuan City, the detachable array component stone slab has become an excellent means to improve the efficiency of the formation. In an instant, a steady stream of blessing formation orders exhausted all the stone slabs in the Twin Towers City.
Improving the safety of their homes and warehouses has become a top priority for many owners who have become wealthy first. So Shi An began to transform the original stereotyped guardianship and nursing home formation, adding warning functions, warning functions, illusion functions, monitoring functions, etc., and upgrading the original formation that only had defensive capabilities to an all-round formation to prevent outsiders from entering. This has also brought considerable benefits to Yizhige.
Where you can earn spirit stones, there will be effective imitators. Shi An did not guard and keep secrets as he did in Kaiyuan City, but allowed others to visit and follow suit, so in the past year, there have been many formation shops to attract customers by borrowing the fur they have learned.
It's not that Shi An is generous, and it's not that he doesn't like monopoly, it's because this is the realm of the Four Elephants, and he hopes to repay the kindness of his master in this way. Of course, this is only a small reason, and the main reason is that he has just found another way to make money, and it is a way to make money that others can't replicate at all.
The daily transactions of Yizhi Pavilion are handed over to the second shopkeeper Wu Gang, and all affairs are taken care of by him, while the shopkeeper Shi Da is mainly responsible for another business - exchanging spirit stones.
At the beginning of its operation, Yizhige was still the old rule, and only accepted water spirit stones. In the past year, he has stopped collecting water spirit stones, but only low-grade and medium-grade spirit stones. On the contrary, the new business carried out by Yizhige is to exchange attribute spirit stones for ordinary spirit stones, and the exchange ratio is still very low, all of them are one to nine, instead of one to ten in the market. In addition, an exchange business called "small attribute spirit stones" has also been launched, with an exchange ratio of one to four.
Other aspects of this "small attribute spirit stone" are exactly the same as ordinary attribute spirit stones, but the attribute aura content is only half of the ordinary attribute spirit stones, which is something that is not available in nature, once it is launched, the monks are difficult to accept at first, but some good people have found that this kind of spirit stone and the general inferior attribute spirit stone except for the aura is only half, and there is no other difference, the exchange ratio of one to four, which is equivalent to the exchange ratio of the attribute spirit stone dropped to one to eight, and naturally the supply soon exceeded demand.
Could it be that Shi An no longer needs to cultivate with attribute spirit stones? No, on the contrary, as he gets closer and closer to the consummation of the Qi refining period, the more water spirit stones he needs will come. And the start of this business came from a flash of inspiration after a chance mistake.
Once when he was cultivating in the Dongtian Stone, he inadvertently pinched a piece of the remnant stone in his hand and entered the Spirit Gathering Array, but after he made his decision, he found that the Stone in his hand contained a large amount of water spiritual energy, which was close to the content of the Water Spirit Stone. After careful study, it was found that this Pong Sheng Stone was also like the spiritual root of the monk, and it was covered with extremely subtle aura channels, although it was not as attribute as the spirit root, but it also had the function of aura in and out, but the ability of Pong Sheng Stone to store aura was too small. After a short time, the water aura in the stone had dissipated completely, and it had returned to its original extremely low level of aura containment.
Intrigued, he began to observe the various spirit stones at hand, and soon discovered the difference between them and the Pong Sheng stones. There is no difference in entering and exiting the aura channel, the difference is in the ability to store the aura. The low-grade spirit stone is the lowest, the low-grade attribute spirit stone is about twice as much, the medium-grade spirit stone is about fifty times as much, and the medium-grade attribute spirit stone is about a hundred times. Now Shi An understands a truth, the various differences between spirit stones are not in their own aura channels, but in the storage of aura reserves.
In that case, is it possible to inject spiritual energy into the spirit stone? Put a water spirit stone that is about to run out on top of the flow array talisman of the spirit gathering array, which is the position where you usually cultivate yourself, under the pressure of high water spiritual energy, this spirit stone is quickly filled, and it is no different from other water spirit stones.
This is an extremely important discovery, and it is also an important idea to solve the shortage of spirit stones in Shi An. After calculation and deduction, he researched a set of methods for "producing" attribute spirit stones.
Take the low-grade ordinary spirit stone that has been depleted of spiritual energy as an example, put this stone bead that has no use for anything on top of the flow array talisman, and infuse the eight lower-grade spirit stones or wood spirit stones in the wood spirit stone on the drainage array into it, and a "small wood attribute spirit stone" can be formed in a few moments. If the flow array is an attribute spirit stone with depleted spiritual energy, it will also turn into a wood attribute spirit stone in the same moment, and of course, the spiritual energy consumed is naturally twice that of the "small wood attribute spirit stone".
In this way, the five lower-grade spirit stones can be infused with one of the five "small attribute spirit stones" of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the ten lower-grade spirit stones can be infused with one of each of the five attribute spirit stones of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. If you add the consumption of the lower grade spirit stones driven and the normal loss of part of the spiritual energy, for every hundred "small attribute spirit stones" he "produces", he only needs one hundred and five lower grade spirit stones, and if he sells them, he can sell them for four hundred lower grade spirit stones, so that he can net two hundred and ninety-five lower grade spirit stones, and the profit level is close to three times the cost;
As for the various stone beads that were used as raw materials to deplete spiritual energy, Shi An also arranged for Wu Gang's biological daughter Wu Tingyu to use the gold and silver in the secular world to recycle. These stone beads were originally discarded, but now that someone has recycled them, they have naturally become a hot commodity, so there is no need to worry about the raw materials at all, of course, this acquisition activity is only known to Wu Gang's father and daughter.
In this way, the formation brings more and more convenience, more and more efficiency, more and more safety, and more and more surprises of this or that in production and life, and also makes more and more people realize the importance of the formation. The surrounding people also began to migrate to the Twin Towers, including both mortals and monks.
For a time, mortals lived and worked in peace and contentment, the cultivation efficiency of monks increased, and the Twin Towers City began another glorious moment since the appearance of the "Fengying Courtyard", and the initiator of all this rarely appeared.
And on this day, the treasurer of Shenlong, who has never seen the end of the year, finally appeared in front of everyone as a foundation building monk.
