"Someone asked me why I cultivate? I also want to ask everyone here, why do you cultivate? Everyone has different pursuits in this world. Some people chased after riches, some chased after power, some chased after beauties, and some chased after fame … But no one would have thought that no matter how great their achievements were, how high their status was, or how rich their wealth was, they would all turn into ashes after a hundred years. In the end, they realize that their life's efforts have gone in the wrong direction. Cultivators seem to pursue simple things. Perhaps they want to eat plain tea, live a simple life, or live in a hut, but they follow their hearts and pursue immortality … "Daoist Hongyi was very eloquent on the stage. The people below the stage nodded, but no one knew that Hongyi's understanding of the Dao was only superficial. He didn't know the true rules and principles of the changes of vitality between heaven and earth. He gave up on the Dao and tried to persuade others. He used his stupidity to make others understand.
However, I listened with great interest. This Hong Yi was quite knowledgeable and had a good memory. He talked about a lot of things that I hadn't touched yet. Thus, listening to his lecture was very rewarding. Some people laughed when they saw me. They asked me if I understood such profound things. I was too lazy to talk to them. I knew that when they saw my age, they would naturally think that I came to join in the fun.
Next, some scholars who studied Daoism went on stage to give their lectures. It was really boring. I really didn't understand. Cultivation was originally very simple, but they made it so complicated. They even analyzed so many principles, which really puzzled me.
Actually, what I cared about the most was whether or not Daoist Hongyi would sign the cooperation agreement with Lin Yi's father. Once this agreement was signed, Lin Yi's father's work would be a lot easier. And I would have a stable source of income. Although it seemed that I had enough money to spend, I vaguely felt that I would need a lot of money in the future. Cultivation wasn't an easy thing. In the future, I might be like Daoist Zhao and find a blessed land to cultivate. That was a project that required a lot of money.
At first, I thought that Daoist Hongyi was just casually talking, but I didn't expect that after he finished his lecture, he directly walked in front of our booth.
"Boss Lin, how are your affairs here going? Why don't we find a place to talk about the supply of talismans? "Taoist Hong Yi said.
"That's not a problem at all. Lin Yi's father smiled as he said, "Daoist Priest approved of our talisman. That's because Daoist Priest thinks highly of us."
We went to a hotel room together.
"If you want your talisman to enter my Mount Mo Shan Laojun Temple, you need to sign an agreement. Once you supply your talismans to our Laojun Temple, you can no longer supply them to other Daoist temples. We can't supply them to the temple. "Daoist Hongyi actually wants to be the general agent of our Vitality Talisman.
"I'm sorry, Daoist Hongyi. We won't sign the same contract with any other Daoist temple. We won't give the exclusive right to operate the talismans to anyone. "Lin Yi's father shook his head and immediately rejected Daoist Hongyi's request.
"Boss Lin, you have to think carefully. Our Mount Mo Laojun Monastery is a very important tourist attraction in Jin City. Once your amulet enters the Mount Mo Laojun Monastery, it will become a specialty of the monastery. The price naturally increased exponentially. You're offering such a high price. We can definitely make other choices. "Daoist Hongyi said.
"If that's the case, I can only tell Daoist Hongyi that we definitely won't back down on this issue." Lin Yi's father said firmly.
"You, you, you're really short-sighted. No wonder you can't find a place to sell such a good talisman. "Daoist Hongyi said with disdain.
"If that's the case, then forget it." Lin Yi's father said with regret.
I opened the door and was about to leave. Lin Yi's father saw that I was so straightforward, so he didn't care about Daoist Hongyi anymore and got up to leave.
"Hey, wait. If you win, you don't have to supply the Mount Mo Laojun Temple exclusively. However, the price must be discounted. Our Mount Mo Laojun Temple will definitely be your big customer in the future. If you give me the retail price, it won't make sense. "Daoist Hongyi suddenly became a profiteer. If the people who just listened to his lecture saw Daoist Hongyi like this, they would probably be shocked.
Lin Yi's father looked at me, and I nodded secretly. Only then did Lin Yi's father say, "That's no problem, but at most twenty percent. If the price is lower than that, it'll be hard for me to satisfy that master. "
"Forty percent! If it's forty percent, I can barely agree to it. "Daoist Hongyi said.
"Then there's no need to talk about it. If it's lower than twenty percent, I don't have any profit margin." Lin Yi's father said firmly.
"How is this sincerity to do business?" Daoist Hongyi shook his head.
"I already showed my greatest sincerity. If you agree, then we can immediately start working together. If you don't agree, then I don't think there's any need to talk about it anymore." Lin Yi's father was about to open the door and walk towards me.
Daoist Hongyi quickly said. "Okay okay, you win."
Then, Daoist Hongyi and Lin Yi's father talked about the payment. Daoist Hongyi was in a passive state. There was no other way. His cultivation was the highest in Lord Mo Shan Temple, but he couldn't make such high-quality talismans. He couldn't let my talismans fall into the hands of others. Otherwise, it would greatly damage the temple's future benefits. Thinking about it, if another Daoist temple had such a good talisman, then the temple's customers would definitely decrease. With such a talisman, it would naturally increase the attraction of Lord Mo Shan Temple.
After the deal was done, Daoist Hongyi probed, "Boss Lin, when the time is right, can you introduce me to the master who made the talismans?"
This was Daoist Hongyi's real purpose. He had prepared so much in order to make Lin Yi's father lower his guard. Then, he could inquire about the whereabouts of the master who made the talismans.
"I'm sorry. I just want to help this master sell these talismans. He will send people to deliver them regularly. It's hard for me to meet him. So, I can't help you with this. But I'll try to talk to the person who sent you and see if the master is willing to meet you. "Lin Yi's father declined.
Daoist Hongyi was very upset. He thought Lin Yi's father was worried that Lord Mo Shan Temple would skip him as the middleman and directly establish a relationship with the master. He quickly explained, "Don't worry. I'm not looking for the talismans to meet the master. I'm hoping to get the master's guidance. As a cultivator, I don't care about money. "
"I'm not worried about that. It's just that I don't have a choice. The master is cultivating now and doesn't like to be disturbed. "Lin Yi's father shook his head.
Before my sister went on vacation, I had been making talismans in my house in Jin City. I mainly made talismans made of the lowest grade yellow paper. I also made some peach wood talismans. At night, I would enter the dreamland to cultivate. However, my cultivation seems to be stuck, and there hasn't been any obvious growth.
In the past six months, my sister had published many influential papers. She had gained a certain reputation in the field of ancient writing research. Even Ji Hongquan, who was in the Unearthed Documents and Ancient Writing Research Institute, no longer treated my sister as his subordinate. He let her lead her own team and prepare for her own research. My sister had several high-level papers as a foundation. In the future, it would be easy for her to apply for research projects. She could have her own team. But because of this, my sister's vacation was delayed.
"Jingyang, don't wait for me. You can go back first." My sister said to me on the phone.
"That won't do. I'll wait for you here. Anyway, Lord Mo Shan Temple needs a lot of talismans. I have to prepare more for Uncle Lin. "I didn't know why, but I wasn't afraid to go back to Eight Corner Village.
