Chapter 184: Heaven and Earth
"This is the good show you arranged?" Li Zhen looked at Shang Yuxian with a smile, this girl still has a bit of a routine.
Shang Yuxian said: "Actually, the manager of the club came up with it, I just made a decision to round this batch of unsold perfumes and bought them for a display." ”
Li Zhen said meaningfully: "You bought it out of your own pocket and advertised it? ”
Shang Yuxian didn't care and said: "Actually, it's nothing, we always have to try our best to help when new goods are on the shelves, and it's not entirely out of my own pocket to bring goods for new customers, and each has a corresponding reasonable expense." ”
"That being said, thank you so much. Li Zhen admitted, "But I still don't understand, why is it so troublesome, just open one or two bottles, and ask someone to try it?"
Shang Yuxian said: "Ordinary casual cultivators are suspicious by nature, but they love to take advantage of small advantages, if they are directly placed there for free and ask them to taste them, maybe they will think that these perfumes are not of good quality...... Moreover, isn't there not the slightest point to talk about this ordinary method?
There is such an introduction, and then it is inferred that the bottle is broken, and it is inconvenient to sell it again, so take it out on the spot and invite everyone to taste it, and it will be much easier to accept.
If you don't like to take advantage of this, or if you have something to leave, you have more or less smelled it, and when you hear people talk about it in the future, you will have an impression.
And those who accept it may talk to others, which is free to advertise for us. ”
"Very good!" Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh, those old-fashioned markets in the World Outer Valley only know how to guard the shops to do business, where do so many routines come from?
It's no wonder that they are monks of the Avenue of Money, whether it is money, ticket redemption, membership system, remote consignment and shopping......
They are all far more than the other forces in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Li Zhen always felt that this routine was familiar, similar to a certain paragraph, but he had to admit that it was still quite new in this world, and he had not used it many times, and the casual cultivators ate this set very much.
The crowd lined up to try the perfume in those bottles for free.
Everyone got some, dripping on their collars or between their mouths and noses, and some even licked them curiously, and were immediately fascinated by the feeling of being deaf and clear-headed.
"Good stuff!"
Nonsense, of course it's a good thing if it doesn't cost money.
The herb incense pills are so easy to sell, or are there quite a few people willing to try them, how can no one want a perfume with stronger effects and a longer duration?
The key problem is that a bottle costs up to two thousand ......
Even if it can be divided into multiple pours and used sparingly, not all loose monasticism is willing to try.
But in this way, many people are concerned about the name of this thing.
"Is it fragrant? Huh? There are even similar things in the form of incense pills, but unfortunately they have been sold out. ”
"Will the next purchase be next month? Okay, I'll see ...... then."
"If it's really as good as you say, I'll buy a few pills and try them out. ”
Sure enough, as Shang Yuxian said, the casual cultivators who consciously took advantage of it were quite impressed by this matter, and they left some thoughts on things like the fragrance of the herbs.
If it's just an ordinary free trial, it may not really have such an effect.
Shang Yuxian said: "Actually, we planned to find an opportunity to light a batch of Xinling incense and burn it in public, but we didn't want to be misunderstood that the warehouse was unsafe, or that it was a shoddy thing that was destroyed, so we didn't do that......"
Hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but propose, "Actually, you can hold a prayer ceremony." ”
Than routines?
I, Li, admit that I don't lose to anyone, but I'm just too lazy to put so much effort into it.
When Shang Yuxian heard this, his eyes lit up: "Prayer for the Blessing Festival?
Li Zhen immediately explained.
Shang Yuxian praised again and again: "Good idea, in the future, when the incense shop is completed, I will do it every time there is a backlog of inventory." ”
Li Zhen said: "If you want to establish your way, culture comes first, and this kind of festival can be traced to a root cause without a root."
For example, using my spiritual incense to cultivate is not necessary for cultivating immortals, but if it can become popular in the world of cultivating immortals, it becomes a trend, so that monks have to burn incense and meditate before cultivating, and add a sense of ritual for no reason, then what is not necessary will become necessary.
In the same way, the prayer puja did not have the effect of praying for blessings and eliminating disasters, but it could guide the power of incense through the rituals of the crowd to sweep away the sickness or bad luck of some people, or take the opportunity to add some spiritual incense to assist in enlightenment and cultivation.
As long as one or two people break through by chance, or they can be passed on by word of mouth, and form a legend......"
Shang Yuxian listened to Li Zhen's explanation, and couldn't help but shine brightly, and nodded again and again.
"What Li Daoyou said is really refreshing, in fact, we have a similar approach, but this concept of culture first has really not been deeply explored. ”
Li Zhen explained with a smile: "Enlightenment and immortality, being at ease and leisurely is the business of great monks, and ordinary casual cultivators are generally anxious, so they need some sustenance at this time.
If one person's cultivation motivation is insufficient, it is inevitable that they will pursue external objects.
However, it is common to say that the use of external objects hinders cultivation, such as taking pills for a long time, and the accumulation of toxins is counterproductive.
At this time, you can try the incense, just smell it left and right, so as not to eat it and damage the body.
Of course, there is no need to anger Dan Dao, lest it backfire.
The most anxious statement is nothing more than that there is no hope of building a foundation in thirty, but the vast majority of people with ordinary qualifications cultivate step by step, and there are no adventures to get, where is it so easy to cultivate?
In this way, it has become necessary to cultivate with the help of these things for many years, which is to combine the cultivation assistance and the necessary conditions for foundation building, and there is a vague hint that if you don't use this incense, there is no hope for foundation building. ”
"Li Daoyou's words are really inspiring!" Shang Yuxian couldn't help but say.
Li Zhen said: "In fact, the really smart and wise people will not believe this, such as my ancestors, who built the foundation in the hundred days, and they didn't even have the opportunity to listen to these rumors, but some things are repeated too much, and they will become a matter of course."
And these things are not false, many of them are plausible, but they are all somewhat true and credible, but the logic and causality are a little confusing.
Of course, these are small techniques, but they don't really matter.
As long as my spiritual incense is indeed effective, sooner or later the monks will recognize its benefits and will have to buy it sooner or later.
All we have to do is to build a good incense shop, train those apprentices and craftsmen, and then use this as a basis to supply a steady stream and occupy the market. ”
Shang Yuxian sighed for a long time, and suddenly proposed: "Is Li Daoyou interested in cultivating the Avenue of Money at the same time?"
Li Zhen shook his head: "It's not a secret, before I got the opportunity, I was short of gold in the five elements, and there was a lot of alchemy in the avenue of money, the method of transporting gold, and other magical spells, and I am afraid it is very difficult to learn." ”
"Really?" Shang Yuxian was slightly stunned, but then his eyes moved, and he didn't seem to dispel this idea, "The avenue of money is actually mostly related to the way of luck, and the main foundation is still the way to improve the cultivation of mana, not as simple as those supernatural powers on the surface. ”
Li Zhen said: "If this is the case, my foundation will be bound to the various wonderful incense recipes taught by my predecessors, and it will be impossible to transfer to the avenue of money." ”
When Shang Yuxian heard this, his expression froze, and he finally remembered that there seemed to be a mysterious Yuanying master behind this Li Daoyou.
So I didn't say anything more.
......
As time passed, the sun gradually set over the distant mountains.
Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess went to the market again and bought a lot of strange things.
Li Zhen took this opportunity to pick up a few ancient books that he had never read before, tasted some spices, and collected them as cultivation materials.
Many seemingly ordinary spices contain inert fragrances that have not yet been activated, and the specific effect is unknown.
But he was counting on the wonderful reaction of these various fragrances when they were mixed together.
Maybe at some point, the new incense you need to synthesize will use these materials.
At that time, he will be able to reproduce it with his powerful embodied fragrance and control it.
Li Zhen even found a few copies of the magic finger wood that he used to care about here.
This is a product from the Yuanzhou Continent, and at the beginning of finding the way to cultivate, it was also used as the main force for eating incense and refining souls.
It's a pity that Li Zhen's divine thoughts are now five hundred catties, and he has already built a foundation and exercised his mana, so its improvement effect is minimal.
I haven't completely reached the upper limit, but I'm afraid that only the spirit materials that have really entered the grade, or even the middle grade of higher grades, can the high-grade spirit materials make it improve.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are not many things that can strive for perfection and increase the strength of this person again, and it is not a problem to find them.
The problem is that there is no money......
Tens of thousands, tens of millions, of spiritual materials as daily consumables are not something that Li Zhen can afford for the time being.
And the ones worth hundreds or thousands don't seem to be of much use.
He now mainly relied on mana, not pure divine thoughts.
"No wonder Gu Xiu often said that external objects are useless, it turns out that the human body has a limit, and mana can truly be infinite!
However, mana is derived from the Dao base and grows naturally, and there is no need to rush before its own mana reaches a certain level. ”
However, thinking that it was useful for refining Lingxiang-grade Xinling incense, Li Zhen still bought three copies in one go, just in case he needed it.
Then Li Zhen saw a magic weapon-level Kingdee Step Shake, although there was no change in the magic weapon, but it was also a sharp weapon, and it could be pulled out and stabbed like a flying sword at a critical moment.
What's more, this golden butterfly step shook and shone brightly, and there was a lifelike hollow golden silk butterfly docked on the jade branch, forming an illusion of a real butterfly under the guidance of the forbidden circle of the magic circle, and its wings flapped from time to time.
The Ninth Princess's gaze fell on it for a while, and without opening her mouth, Li Zhen would buy it and give it to her.
The ninth princess was a little surprised, and a little distressed: "How to spend money indiscriminately." ”
This thing is worth 12,000 fu money, which is still quite a bit of liquidity.
Li Zhen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I see that you like this thing very much, so I just gave it to you. ”
The ninth princess sighed, but she didn't say anything, and motioned for Li Zhen to plug in for herself.
Li Zhen then helped her pull out the previous hosta and replace it with this thing.
"The virtuous couple are really affectionate, and the seekers are really blessed......" Shang Yuxian felt as if something had been stuffed in his mouth, slightly bitter and sour, and a little envious, "It looks good when you wear it......"
"By the way, what kind of night markets are there in this place? I went back last night when the sun went down, and I haven't had time to see it yet. ”
Leaving the magic weapon shop, Li Zhen asked casually.
With such a large market as Jigang, of course, there is no shortage of night markets, and there are even auctions that have influence in several countries.
Shang Yuxian said: "There is a night market every night, mostly some merchants and freelance traders are doing business, according to the agreement signed between our chamber of commerce and the local monks, after the sun goes down, all shops will be closed, leaving a long street in the middle for them to do business!"
Most of these are people from all walks of life who don't know where they came from, and the goods they sell are also of mixed quality......"
She used some very euphemistic words here, but Li Zhen understood it instantly.
What is good and bad, it is clear that there is no shortage of fake and shoddy things, and there are no light things.
At the same time, there are also things contaminated with blood and evil, and the darkness in the various immortal cultivation realms gathers here.
Every year, there are many fledgling monks who have adventures and treasures, and every year there are people who go missing and are murdered and robbed.
The most dangerous level of the monk is not the fight with others after a small achievement, the trouble, nor the heavenly calamity after the next thousand years......
It's the new level!
Li Zhen didn't ask much else, but asked, "Do you have any way to control the order of this night market?"
Shang Yuxian said: "In addition to generally following the trading principles of the Merchants Association, there is no way to control it, we are also outsiders here, and we need to compromise with some local forces, and there are many vassals of the Disha Sect among them." ”
"Earth Shatter Gate?" Li Zhen was slightly stunned.
Shang Yuxian said: "Li Daoyou should have heard that my Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Tiangang and Earth Evil, Money Society, Flying Boat Society, Wanbao Building, Treasure Building and other forces are biased towards the Tiangang Gate series of legitimate livelihoods, and the Earth Demon Gate includes the world's black market, night market, there is no shortage of prostitutes, witches and witches, all kinds of obscene business......"
Li Zhen seemed to smile: "Tiangang is also a family, and they are all believers in the Great Avenue of Money, so they won't have nothing to do with it at all, right?"
Shang Yuxian hesitated for a moment, and replied honestly: "The so-called Hades is easy to see, the little ghost is difficult, the two families have always had a tacit understanding and alliance at the top level, and if you are at the bottom, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and there is no need to involve too deep." ”
Li Zhen said: "I see. ”
Shang Yuxian said: "Li Daoyou won't be interested in black market treasure hunting or gambling games, right?"
Li Zhen glanced at her and said with a smile: "The former is mostly deceptive, and the latter is even more harmful, I am not interested, don't worry." ”
Shang Yuxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Li Zhen say: "But I have heard about the black market intelligence for a long time, and I heard that those people have great powers, I don't know if there is a chance to introduce them on my behalf, let me also see it?"
