Chapter 222: Salted Fish Don’t Want
The entrance to the secret realm.
Wei Ying and Lan Wangji were reminiscing about the past not far away. Their affection was so good that anyone who saw them was so full that they couldn't bear to watch.
Meng Yao led the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect to set up stalls at the entrance to the secret realm and began trading. They sold a wide variety of goods, from talismans to magical instruments to storage bags. Of course, the most important trade was the storage bags, as the tradition of cultivating immortals was too weak in this world. Even the most basic storage bags were only available to a few of the great families. Other cultivators could only rely on their sleeves, but the space in these sleeves was far too small to meet their needs.
If you bring the secret world in your sleeve into the secret realm, it would be a waste of time because you won't be able to bring anything out.
A large crowd soon gathered in front of Meng Yao's stall. Everyone wanted to buy some practical magical tools or talismans for emergency use.
An old man in green walked up to the stall. He scanned the area with a sharp gaze, finally stopping on an exquisite storage bag. He reached out and picked it up, examining it carefully, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"How many spirit stones are in this storage bag?" the old man asked.
Meng Yao smiled and replied, "Senior, this storage bag has a space of thirty square meters, is of excellent quality, and contains fifty low-grade spirit stones."
The old man nodded, pulled out fifty low-grade spirit stones from his sleeve, and handed them to Meng Yao. Meng Yao took the spirit stones, handed the storage bag to the old man, and politely offered his blessing: "Senior, I wish you a fruitful harvest in the secret realm."
Don't ask where the spirit stones were obtained from. If you ask, you can tell that they were exchanged for various spiritual medicines or refining materials from Guiyuan Sect. The main point is that it's a fair trade and no one is cheated.
The old man laughed and patted Meng Yao on the shoulder: "Young man, you are very good at talking. Don't worry, if I gain anything in the secret realm, I will definitely come back to take care of your business."
After saying this, the old man turned and left, disappearing into the crowd.
As time passed, Meng Yao's stall became more and more lively.
Chaoyang, Qinghengjun, and the others sat in the pavilion, watching Meng Yao and several other disciples surrounded by a crowd. They felt both helpless and amused. Even in this situation, they could still see the business opportunity, which was truly admirable.
Qing Hengjun turned his head and looked at Chaoyang standing beside him, smiling and saying, "It seems that the disciples of your Guiyuan Sect do possess extraordinary business acumen."
Chaoyang smiled modestly and responded, "No, no, A-Yao and the others are just clever little tricks. Qingheng-kun, you're too kind."
Nie Mingjue and Wen Ruohan listened to Chaoyang's words and said to Meng Yao, "How thick is your filter? Is that just cleverness? In the last life, he almost wiped out the aristocratic family. That was just cleverness. If he was really clever, wouldn't he be responsible for all this?"
However, they also knew in their hearts that Chaoyang's words were just self-deprecating. They were very envious of the disciples of Guiyuan Sect. After all, every one of them was a dragon among men, and every one of them had extraordinary talents and cultivation.
If Chaoyang heard their sighs, he would surely retort that even with top-tier resources and instruction, if one didn't work hard, they were truly worthless, and his Guiyuan Sect would never accept such a person. Those who could join the Guiyuan Sect were the elite, carefully selected from this world. Even if they lacked spiritual roots, Chaoyang would guide them down the path of physical cultivation, or perhaps even achieve enlightenment through martial arts.
There are thousands of roads in the world, and there is always one that suits you.
What Guiyuan Sect has the most is various kinds of martial arts. As long as you come and ask for advice, no matter how difficult it is, Chaoyang will find a way to solve it for you. This is not his original world. He will carefully select and bring all the good seedlings to Guiyuan Sect. He really needs people, so he has to start from scratch and he is not picky.
If Chaoyang were to select people using the requirements of the original world, then only two people from Guiyuan Sect would be qualified, Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang. The others would all be unqualified and could only be menial disciples. They would not even be qualified to be outer disciples, let alone inner disciples.
He had already lowered his expectations. If his disciples didn't work hard, they would go back to where they came from. Chaoyang wanted the top scorers, not the underdogs. The world was in ruins and needed people the most. Now was not the time to hire underdogs.
