As the head of the Li family, Li Chen, spoke, he broke the silence in the shop. Everyone began to discuss.
"I think the Inheritance Pearl is not bad. It's a martial technique at the peak of the Earth Level. Even Sentry Town doesn't have it. If we have it, our combat strength will increase by a lot," a Martial Master said. A martial technique at the Earth Level was still very tempting. Sentry Town, including the four great families, did not have a martial technique of this grade. Most importantly, after the inheritance, one could directly reach the small success stage. Cultivating a martial technique to the small success stage could increase one's strength by 50%.
One had to know that the cultivation of martial techniques was divided into beginner, small success, large success, and perfection.
The first level was beginner. Beginner referred to being able to master the martial technique and have a basic understanding of it. This was the minimum requirement to cultivate a martial technique. Once a martial technique was beginner, it would increase one's strength by 30%.
The second level was small success. Cultivating a martial technique to the small success stage meant that one had reached a higher level and had a small achievement. The small success stage of the martial technique would increase one's strength by 50%.
The third level was large success. Once a martial technique reached the large success stage, it meant that the martial artist had already perfected the martial technique and could use it easily. At this time, the power of the martial technique would increase by 80%.
The fourth level was large success. Large success meant that one's control of the martial technique had reached the peak and there were no flaws. The power of a large success stage martial technique would increase by 100%.
The Inheritance Pearl could allow three users to directly reach the small success stage of the Eight Trigrams Saber Technique, which saved a lot of time. After all, the higher the grade of the martial technique, the more difficult it was to cultivate and the more time it would take to cultivate. If one really wanted to cultivate a martial technique at the Earth Level, it would probably take at least half a year for them to reach the small success stage.
Therefore, martial techniques were a large part of a martial artist's strength. Otherwise, they would be like Mo Tiankong, who had a cultivation base but could not use it.
"A small teleportation array would be great. It would save a lot of time for cultivators like us who can't fly." If they had a teleportation array, they would be able to fly faster than a Martial King expert. They would be able to travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant. However, it could only be used in fixed locations. If they could use a teleportation array that could be carried, they would be able to escape with their lives when they encountered powerful demon beasts or cultivators. Even so, it was still better. If they could set up a teleportation array to the Antelope Mountain Range, it would be quite convenient to go back and forth.
"No, no, no, I think this Treasure Seeking Compass is the best. If we find any heavenly treasures, we can sell them for a large sum of spirit stones. Also, if we find a spirit stone mine, we'll be rich," said a cultivator with a goatee.
"If you find a Spirit Stone Mine, can you defend it? If the news is leaked, you'll be chopped to death in a matter of minutes." A cultivator on the side clearly disagreed with the Goatee cultivator's words and said disdainfully.
"Then if we find heavenly treasures, we can also make a lot of money," the Goatee cultivator immediately said when he saw that someone was denying his words.
"You can make money, but first, you're only a Martial Master. If you go deep into the mountain range, can you guarantee that you'll be able to come back alive? Second, you have to be able to afford this Treasure Seeking Compass first." Seeing that the Goatee cultivator was still unconvinced, he carefully analyzed the situation.
Thus, the Goatee cultivator did not say anything. Ten thousand spirit stones might be a small sum to the four great clans, but it was a huge sum for him. He could not afford it. Second, it was just as that cultivator had said. Most of the powers in the outer regions of the mountain range had already been plundered. Furthermore, if he went deep into the mountain range, there would be too many high-ranked demon beasts. If he really went in, there was a high chance that he would not be able to come out alive.
"I think that the new items on the shelves are all very good," said a cultivator helplessly.
Then, the group of cultivators rolled their eyes at him. Did you even need to say that? They were all very good. We also wanted them all, but we couldn't afford them. Even the cheapest item was ten thousand spirit stones. The other two items were priced at one hundred thousand spirit stones and two hundred thousand spirit stones. Hehe.
The cultivator who spoke smiled awkwardly. I'm just stating the truth. Why are you all looking at me like that? I'll slip away. I can't afford it. Then, he squeezed to the side of the shelves.
The four great clans and a few other powers were whispering to each other. On the surface, it was calm, but in their hearts, it was turbulent.
Mo Tiankong was so embarrassed that his cancer was acting up. He was clearly scheming in his heart, but on the surface, he was still speaking casually. In his heart, he was thinking about whether or not he should give Zhang Tiannan, Fatty Tang, and the others some pointers.
However, Mo Tiankong was not sure if this plan would succeed, so he still asked the System.
"System, if people buy a lot of items from the store and then resell them at a high price, is it okay?" This was equivalent to the situation where the grocery store was the supplier. If people did not know about the store, it was completely possible for them to buy at a high price, as long as the authenticity of the goods was confirmed.
For example, when the Zhang family bought a lot of Wangzai, Zhang Tiannan also got a share. This meant that the System did not mind. However, no matter what, he still had to ask for the System's opinion. If the System said no, then it was useless.
"Yes, as long as they are not on the blacklist, they can buy and use the store's items," said the System directly.
Mo Tiankong was relieved. It did not matter who bought the grocery store's items. Moreover, this could be considered as publicity for the store. The store's items all had a logo. As the store's reputation increased, a large number of people would definitely come looking for the store.
Moreover, the store would not suffer a loss. The store's items looked cheaper than the market, but Mo Tiankong dared to conclude that the System's manufacturing cost was extremely low. Otherwise, the System would not have set the price like this.
Moreover, it was also a skill to be able to resell the items at a high price before people knew about the store. After that, people would definitely ask about the origin of the goods. After all, the grocery store's goods were rare. By then, people would naturally know about the store's existence and would come to buy the items. This could be considered as publicity in a disguised form. Moreover, even if no one did this, the store's items would still be sold at the same price.
Therefore, it was also good for the store. The System also said that everyone could buy the items. As for what they would do after buying the items, the System did not care. It was just that no one had thought of it before. Perhaps even if they had thought of it, they would not dare to. After all, everyone knew that the store had a backer.
However, the blacklist still prevented people from using the grocery store's items. Mo Tiankong thought of Zhang Tianan, that stubborn child. In the future, when others could use the teleportation circle, he would still have to run.
Moreover, it would also increase the store's sales. After all, the Reputation and Experience required to level up were extremely high. In the future, it would only increase. Mo Tiankong's thoughts were also relatively long-term. How long would it take for the store to level up if he were to rely on his own advertising?
In the end, most of the money he earned would flow back to the store. Once this trade route was opened, after tasting the benefits, he would definitely continue to do this business. For a short period of time, this business could still be done. As time passed, everyone would know about it and come to buy the items themselves. Moreover, once the teleportation circle was opened, distance would not be a problem.
The key was that this business could earn him tens or even hundreds of times his value in a short period of time. Mo Tiankong was a little greedy. Unfortunately, he could not do it alone. He could only let others take advantage of him. However, he could consider giving Zhang Tiannan, Fatty Tang, and the others some pointers.
He waved at Zhang Tiannan and the others, calling them over. After all, they had always supported his grocery store's business. Mo Tiankong felt that giving them some pointers was still acceptable. After all, these two would definitely come to spend money when they had money.
When they saw Mo Tiankong waving at them, they quickly squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the cashier.
"Store Manager Mo, what's the matter?" Zhang Tiannan asked. He did not know why Mo Tiankong had called him.
"I called you guys over to give you some advice," Mo Tiankong said.
"Store Manager Mo, quickly say it. What advice do you have?" Fatty Tang asked anxiously when he heard Mo Tiankong's advice. After all, he had relied on Mo Tiankong's advice to gather five thousand Spirit Stones to buy the Ferghana treasure. Then, he had tricked his father into raising him to the Wuzong level.
Mo Tiankong rolled his eyes at Fatty Tang. Seeing this guy's anxious appearance, he did not tease him and said.
"Fatty Tang, your family's business is quite big. Have you ever thought of reselling the store's items? The profit is not small," Mo Tiankong said lightly.
"This … can I?" Fatty Tang stuttered. He definitely had the idea of reselling the store's items. Currently, only a group of martial artists in Sentry Town knew about the existence of the general store. As for the nearby cities, only the distant cities might know about the store. However, no one knew about the store if they went further away. With the magical rarity of the general store's items, they could definitely sell them for a sky-high price. Wouldn't they make a crazy profit?
Moreover, the store had the support of experts behind it. The Tang family did not dare to do it. However, now that Mo Tiankong had said so, there was hope.
"Of course, after all, the store's items are sold to whoever it sells them to." Mo Tiankong roughly understood Fatty Tang's concerns. Now, as long as Mo Tiankong showed his attitude, which represented the general store's attitude, then they would dare to do it.
"As for the small teleportation circle, don't join in the fun with the Yeh family and the Li family," Mo Tiankong continued to remind them. After all, there was a time difference. After the teleportation circle was set up, the exchange of information would stop them from doing business. There was no need to waste time on it.
However, it was limited to the battle for the teleportation circle in Sentry Town. There were many cities in the Aquamarine Empire. As long as they went first, they could seize the opportunity.
"Of course, one family won't be able to do it. If the Tang family buys a batch of goods, I'm afraid they won't have the money to set up the teleportation circle. This will be very slow, so I suggest the two of you do it together," Mo Tiankong said after a pause.
"The two of you will pay spirit stones together. Not only will you buy other goods, but you will also have to start setting up the teleportation circle when you reach the first city. Although the profit from teleportation circles is low, it will be a stable income in the long run. Moreover, it will speed up the process. When you go around the entire Aquamarine Empire, congratulations on being as rich as a country."
Being as rich as a country was a bit of an exaggeration. As the capital accumulated, the more goods they purchased, the greater the profits from each transaction. Even if the family was stronger, for example, Fatty Tang and Zhang Tiannan had broken through to the Martial Saint level, they could even leave the Aquamarine Empire to do business in the entire Eastern Xuan Region.
