“Ling Xi will give them a demonstration, telling them that if they want to act alone, then we will release those talismans into the market, and no one will have the chance to make money.”

Those talismans were capable of directly disrupting the current talisman market!

Had it not been for the Hundred Peaks Sect’s emphasis on unity and prohibition of internal strife, he wouldn’t have dared to reveal those talismans with his present strength.

“Master, after Senior Sister has demonstrated the talismans, let me handle the negotiations with them.

I’m good at this kind of thing,” Yi Sheng’s eyes lit up.

She had just learned some business negotiation skills from her master, and she would be able to put them into practice tomorrow.

As for the new talismans, although she was not familiar with them, she believed that since her master had said so, he must have full confidence.

How could his master possibly be wrong!

Cao Zhen readily nodded his head in agreement.

Meanwhile, Yi Sheng took out an abacus from nowhere and began quickly calculating, “In this way, we should be able to earn quite a bit.

Master, let me help you do the math.”

“What’s there to calculate?

This bit of money is not enough.

Making talismans can indeed be profitable, but it’s a steady business that amasses wealth gradually; we cannot earn that much in a short period.

As the saying goes, ‘A horse doesn’t get fat without grazing, and a person doesn’t get rich without windfall profits.’ To earn more, we have to think of other methods.”

Cao Zhen felt life was tough for himself.

He needed to take pills to enhance his strength, and so did all his disciples.

The money earned from the talismans wouldn’t be enough for even one disciple to take pills in the early stages.

“Windfall profits?” Yi Sheng’s slender fingers, which had been deftly moving over the abacus, suddenly stopped.

She looked up and said, “If you want a windfall, the gambling house is the best place.

Haven’t they said that the Hundred Peaks Sect will soon reshuffle the rankings of each peak?

I remember the gambling house has also laid out various odds for the rankings.

We could bet on Four Treasures Peak moving up in rank.”

“That’s actually a good idea,” Cao Zhen’s eyes shone.

He remembered how his first windfall came about—it was from betting on himself during a competition of strength.

“Unfortunately, the spirit stones I earned last time are almost all spent.

The capital is still a bit too little.

It would be great if we could find someone to loan us a sum.

Borrow…

right, why didn’t I think of that before?

I should go and seek financing.”

“Financing?

What’s that?” Yi Sheng once again heard an unfamiliar term from her master and immediately inquired with curiosity.

“Financing means we clearly have the skills and the potential for development, but we lack funds.

So, we could look for someone to lend us money, giving them a portion of our shares in return for their investment, depending on how much they give.

As for whom to approach for financing, Master has already thought of the perfect candidate—that would be the current Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Is there anyone wealthier than the Sect Leader?

Moreover, getting the Sect Leader to invest and own a stake in our talisman making business would mean that it becomes the Sect Leader’s own venture.

We would gain a free and powerful backer—it’s killing two birds with one stone.”

The more Cao Zhen thought about it, the more he felt that seeking financing from the Sect Leader was the best choice.

Just looking at the rewards the Sect Leader handed out during the last Hundred Peaks Call-to-Order made it clear that the Sect Leader was definitely not short of money.

“Approaching the Sect Leader?” Yi Sheng suddenly thought of something and said, “If Master steps in, success is certain.

Master, the reshuffling of the Hundred Peaks rankings is a major event; it won’t be something that’s announced today and starts tomorrow.

Such big events require advance notice and preparation.

Therefore, the various betting opportunities related to the Hundred Peaks rankings will continue for a while.

We just need to bet on Four Treasures Peak’s rank rising before the actual rankings begin.

During this time, if we have more spirit stones on hand, we can also buy the materials for making Gathering Spirit Talismans.

Master, think about it—if everyone starts making Gathering Spirit Talismans, the price of the materials will surely rise.

We can stock up on these materials in advance.”

“That’s a good idea.

The more spirit stones we accumulate before placing bets, the better,” Cao Zhen laughed heartily.

“Yi Sheng, I’m entrusting this task to you.”

“Rest assured, Master.

Just wait for your disciple’s good news,” Yi Sheng assured him.

As master and disciple were planning their path to wealth, Ling Xi frowned and interjected, “Master, I think it would be better not to let Junior Sister Yi Sheng handle this matter.”

Cao Zhen looked at his eldest disciple in surprise, as his disciple had just openly challenged his idea, which was out of character for her.

Ling Xi slowly stated her point, “Master, I believe that as Junior Sister is also a disciple of Four Treasures Peak, her focus should primarily be on cultivation.

She shouldn’t always waste her energy on other affairs.”

Yi Sheng turned to look at her eldest Senior Sister and realized that she had noticed the difference between Four Treasures Peak and many other peaks.

She also knew that her main priority should indeed be cultivation.

It was just that she had an interest in business, which is why she had volunteered to take on those tasks.

But now, her Senior Sister was actively encouraging her to cultivate.

In any other place, how would the other senior brothers and sisters react?

She was born in a merchant family and had seen all kinds of deception.

Even within the same family, when it came to interests, they would plot against each other, wishing for others to do worse than themselves.

Even during her previous time at the Taoist Institution.

Although because of the rules of the Hundred Peaks Sect, they would not kill each other, they certainly wouldn’t persuade someone else to stop indulging in leisure and start cultivating.
