Chapter 273 Everyone has his own merits
Even for Sang Yunqi, his only form of entertainment over the years has been playing chess, drinking tea, and occasionally discussing philosophy with people he can talk to, and that's about it.
Therefore, he simply couldn't think of anything that could interest everyone and make them participate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have secluded himself for decades or even hundreds of years. It was really boring, especially as his friends were getting fewer and fewer, and the feeling of loneliness became even worse.
Moreover, this seems to be the consensus in the world of cultivation. From the first step into the immortal gate, the elders will tell the new disciples that to cultivate immortals, one must be able to endure loneliness and boredom.
Chu Xinglan turned over and faced Sang Yunqi.
"There are many possibilities, such as a one-month tour of the cultivation world, a visit to the demon world, or opening up trade. In that case, everyone can freely exchange cultivation resources if they need them, without having to risk crossing borders. If you go there, you might even lose your life."
"For example, we can modify this communication jade slip a little bit and create a forum or something like that."
What he was actually talking about was tourism and business development, which seemed very common to him. However, Sang Yunqi's eyes became more and more confused, and he obviously couldn't understand what he said.
Chu Xinglan paused for a moment, and only then realized that what he had seen and heard in the other world during those years was really too advanced for this world of cultivation.
Speaking of which, the mortal world here still has a feudal system. There are emperors, and ministers still need to attend court. Ordinary people still rely on farming for a living, and those who live by the sea go fishing.
The difference between this place and the other world is probably the different directions of development. Cultivation has evolved here, while the other world has developed a technology tree.
It’s hard to say which one is better. In Chu Xinglan’s opinion, each has its own merits.
He thought about it and gave the simplest example.
"Master, do you know that Song Ling and I opened a small shop? We sell milk tea and snacks."
Sang Yunqi nodded. He knew about this matter. In his opinion, these little guys were just bored and playing around, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, when Chu Xinglan mentioned it at this time, he knew that there might be things he didn't understand.
"In fact, Master, you can go and take a look. Although the things sold there are somewhat novel, after going there so many times, there is nothing new anymore."
"But now that little shop is very popular, many elders of our Cangqiong Mountain will go there to sit down when they have time."
"I went there a few days ago and looked at the accounts. In the first ten days alone, the shop made a net profit of 20,000 low-grade spirit stones."
As he spoke, Chu Xinglan stretched out two fingers and shook them.
This time, Sang Yunqi was really surprised. You know, an inner sect disciple in the foundation-building stage can only earn thirty to fifty low-grade spirit stones a month.
If you are diligent and do some tasks, you can get more, but you won’t get any mid-grade spirit stones.
Disciples in the Jindan stage can earn about 200 low-grade spirit stones, but most of them will accept commissions from outside and earn more.
But in ten days, the net profit was 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, which was enough for almost every disciple to have a seat.
I'm afraid that even if you combine all the industries in Cangqiong Mountain, there won't be any with such huge profits.
It’s not that other industries are unprofitable, but they are all on a very large scale, and they sell necessities for cultivation, such as elixirs.
But this kind of teahouse-like place is very small and it is really incredible.
Chu Xinglan never thought that there would be a day when he would teach his master. He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart, but it was very cool anyway.
"After all, my shop doesn't just sell food and drinks, it also provides a place for them to rest and relax."
“After training or class, go sit there, chat and relax.”
"Especially since Zhen Youqian has organized some small shows and activities, everyone has fun and naturally likes to go."
Sang Yunqi seemed to be thinking about something. He suddenly remembered that when he went to find Fan Lou, that guy was listening to opera. Before that, he also went to various temple fairs and looked for snacks.
When you think about it this way, it seems understandable that such a small shop can be so popular.
Afterwards, Chu Xinglan explained in detail the points he had raised, and after the explanation, he also gave Sang Yunqi examples.
At least, he felt that the mere fact that he could freely visit the demon world and the monster world and even buy some local specialties was very attractive.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the three realms must maintain peace, and there must be people dedicated to maintaining order in the early stages.
The cultivation world has developed this habit over thousands of years, and it is definitely unrealistic to expect them to achieve this in a short period of time.
However, as long as these top figures from all walks of life agree and are willing to implement it with all their strength, he believes that the situation will get better and better, and by then the peaceful coexistence of the three tribes will no longer be a fantasy.
Although it was the first time that Sang Yunqi heard about it, he still agreed with Chu Xinglan's proposal. He didn't care much about it at first, but now he is very interested in the other world that Chu Xinglan has been to.
For the next few days, Chu Xinglan was talking and Sang Yunqi was listening. There was a moment when Sang Yunqi really wanted to go to that world and take a look. He felt that that world seemed very interesting.
Chu Xinglan, on the other hand, was very excited at the beginning, but in the end he wanted to hide whenever he saw his master.
Chu Xinglan felt a great sense of accomplishment when he did this occasionally, but as his master asked more and more questions in more and more detail, Chu Xinglan found it a bit difficult to explain.
Sometimes it only takes one sentence to explain something, but it takes three sentences to explain it again. No one can stand this question.
Even if Sang Yunqi sold her beauty, it was of no use. Chu Xinglan quickly packed up his things and went back to his room to meditate.
In the following six months, although there were occasional vicious incidents, they were all minor.
The various sects and families also reached a consensus. They found many traces of the men in black, seized many black robes, and even two silver masks.
As they came into more contact with them, everyone gradually discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the man in black robe.
They seemed to be conducting some experiment on themselves. During a conflict between the disciples of Cangqiong Mountain and a man in black robes, the man in black robes suddenly turned into a demon and caught them off guard, resulting in the loss of several disciples.
However, in the end, there were no incidents like the annihilation of a whole family. Everyone was having a good time and it was hard to say who was losing or gaining.
Under Fan Lou's control, the demons no longer provoked disputes on their own, and the occasional demons that crossed the border were dealt with in a timely manner by Fan Lou.
Chu Xinglan didn't know all this.
The retreat that was originally intended to avoid questioning from my master turned into a real retreat because I suddenly had an epiphany.
By the time he came out again, it was already spring.
