Chapter 263: Chapter 55 Tourism Economics 【Looking for Monthly Tickets!】_1

Fang Ting felt like crying but no tears came out.

He had intended to showcase his mid-stage Golden Core, to let everyone in and out of Shu Mountain see how powerful his Shenxiao Five Thunder Golden Elixir was, this was his planned battle for fame!

But he was suddenly defeated in such a manner. External injury was secondary; the main thing was that it felt like there was a mouthful of old blood stuck in his heart, neither going up nor down.

But upon closer thought...

Even though he was momentarily distracted, he wasn’t completely unable to react to any sneaky attack. It was just that Chu Liang’s move came too fast, too hard, and too accurately. That’s how he defeated him in one fell swoop.

His own strength must be not weak.

Fang Ting looked at Chu Liang, only to see the other party smiling and bowing in salute: "Senior Brother Fang, thank you for giving me the opportunity."

Oh.

The blood that had just calmed down surged up again. He really wanted to spit a mouthful of old blood onto the other’s face and say a "I’ll give you a leg...awww."

But a loss was a loss. The presiding elder announced solemnly: ’Silver Sword Peak... Chu Liang wins!"

As he said this, some of his gaze moved downward, as if he was also reluctant inside.

Discussions arose from all around.

"Isn’t he the disciple of Silver Sword Peak who took the first place in Sky Ladder Path? I thought he was very strong, how could he use such a move?"

"He hasn’t been a core formation cultivator for long, so he might not be able to beat Fang Ting in a pure strength showdown. That’s why he used this tricky measure."

"How could he do this in front of so many people..."

"His master is Empress Feng after all..."

"Oh, then it makes sense... He’s shameless."

Chu Liang didn’t mind this at all. He turned around leisurely and landed. Lin Bei from the side came over, and gave a thumbs up: "You’re the first one whose reputation gets lower the more he wins."

"Just doing what I had to." Chu Liang chuckled and didn’t elaborate. Instead, he turned to ask, "How are the sales?"

"I sold out early. I don’t know about the others." Lin Bei also smiled.

A new battle soon began on the stage, and the attention of the audience was drawn away. Chu Liang moved over to a corner of the square where several figures were gathered.

These people included Lin Bei, Liu Xiaoyu, Shang Ziliang, Henchman A, and Henchman B. They were all people from Chu Liang’s core team.

Each of them now wore a basic magical storage tool on their hand, filled with preserved fruit candies, sweet tea drinks, and boxed Dragon Breath Golden Prints Juice Fruit.

The candies, sweet tea, and other snacks were perfect for eating while watching the competition. They were purchased from businesses Chu Liang had chosen after surveying the mountain.

The Dragon Breath Golden Prints Juice Fruit was a high-end Shu Mountain specialty, meant to be taken back by the disciples of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to give to friends and family. The brand effect of the Golden Prints Juice Fruit had been established within Shu Mountain. Fellow disciples now recognized it as a good thing when they see the Golden Prints Juice Fruit. Disciples of the Immortal Sects could also quickly find out that these were good things after asking around. This kind of influence was just right to spread out.

The Shu Mountain Peak Conference was a golden opportunity.

"Lin Bei sold out the earliest today, so he’s undoubtedly the sales champion." Chu Liang asked, "How are the rest of you doing?"

"I’m almost sold out." Liu Xiaoyu raised her hand and laughed.

The little girl looked adorable and naive. She didn’t have to try hard to promote what she was selling; people naturally came to buy.

Shang Ziliang and Henchman A had slightly worse sales and had only sold half of their inventory.

Only Henchman B blinked and stammered, "I... I’m also sold out..."

"Sold out?"

"All gone..."

Chu Liang let out a sigh, looking at him, "You can’t get paid this way."

After the Mountain God Sacrifice Team, Chu Liang planned to solidify the team for the convenience of future work, so he had a talk with Shang Ziliang and others, who naturally wanted to stick with Chu Liang. Now, they are even temporary members of Silver Sword Peak.

Once the few of them were eliminated, Chu Liang discussed this plan with them.

They would take the opportunity of Shu Mountain Peak Conference to do some small business. They would help Chu Liang sell goods, receive a base salary of fifty Sword Coins per day, and share twenty percent of the income. The highest seller of the day would be awarded an extra fifty Sword Coins.

If anyone consistently performs well, they can upgrade to partners and then share profits from all surpluses with Chu Liang. This handsome reward was indeed a great temptation to the team members.

The sales from the first two days were just average, and Chu Liang had to pay them out of his pocket. However, as the market gradually unfolds, there should be some surpluses today. According to his calculations, after a couple of days when the market fully opens, he should get a few hundred Sword Coins in his hand every day.

The reason Chu Liang thought of this was that he felt a great pain seeing the missed opportunity of the bustling tourist economy with celebrations coming from all quarters for the Peak Conference at Shu Mountain.

The snacking business is not high stakes, these mundane items are not worth much, they will not go too high. However, people need them, and they can warm up the market through these items. The Juice Fruit gift boxes were the real low-cost and high-profit item, and the high-priced luxury versions were almost pure profit. Disciples of Shu Mountain knew the original price of the Juice Fruit — which was very high, but the gift box was priced higher, so they naturally wouldn’t buy it. The boxes were particularly aimed at tourists... no, they were meant for tourists to send as gifts to their families back home.

Right now, there isn’t anything that Shu Mountain is known for, so Chu Liang prepared to build the brand of Gold Pattern Berry, so when people come to visit, they will want to bring a few boxes back for their friends and family to taste. Then the profit in the future will be continuous.

"Oh right," he reminded them again, "Remember to remind them that there are discounts when you use Shu Mountain Sword Coins."

This concept was somewhat baffling to them, including Shang Ziliang and others.

The most commonly used Spirit Stone Coin in the Immortal Cultivation World currently was the Four Images Coins of Taotie City, followed by the Penglai Coins of the Penglai Upper Sect. The former was undoubtedly prevailing because it sold the most items and was the most convenient to use. The latter was considered safer to hold because of it’s strong backing.

On the other hand, Shu Mountain Sword Coins circulated mostly within the sect.

"Disciples from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands do not have Sword Coins. If they want some, they have to go and exchange for them. It’s quite troublesome." Lin Bei also chimed in.

"Even if it’s troublesome, we should still try to promote it. If we’re not using Sword Coins in Shu Mountain, where else would we use them?" said Chu Liang. "We don’t have to rush this, we can take it slow."

As he said this, his eyes sparkled with expectancy.

...

Just after he sent them out for selling again, he sensed a vibration from his magic storage tool.

Chu Liang’s face tightened, he exchanged a few glances with Monk Pu Shan and Luo Yao, who were far away across the distance. They understood each other’s intent and flew towards Silver Sword Peak to gather.

[Eastern Guide]: "I have found a new way for you to return to White Bone Hall, the time is pressing. Can you gather by tomorrow?"

The three of them took out their Soul Summoning Orders and saw this message.

"Tomorrow is the Spirit Pet Competition, I don’t need to participate." Chu Liang nodded. He was satisfied with this arrangement.

"Okay." Luo Yao nodded and turned to reply.

[Sixty]: "Received."

[Fifty Nine]: "Woah, is it happening again? The suspenseful and exciting infiltration operation, after White Bone Hall was besieged last time, hasn’t occurred for a long time. The Guide has found a way, he is really good."

Chu Liang gave Monk Pu Shan a strange look, wondering how he managed to reply with so much information in such a short amount of time?

After a pause, he also replied.

[Fifty Eight]: "Received."

Thankfully, the Soul Summoning Order does not display the location of the message’s sender. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if the locations of the three people were shown to be on Shu Mountain.

[Eastern Guide]: "Alright, meet in the old location tomorrow, my people will be there to pick you up."
