Chapter 355 Profit Sharing
Seeing the white cranes returning to the ancient forest, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile. "How have you been these past few days?"
"This is terrible! I've been working so hard for days, and not only have I not made any money, but I've also lost a wooden carving. You have to give me an explanation!" Qi Ling Baihe's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
"As I said before, broaden your horizons. You are a crane that wants to make big money, don't just focus on the petty gains in front of you."
Early investment is necessary; you need to establish your unparalleled and unique brand first before the public will be willing to spend money on it…
"I won't listen! Just tell me when I'm going to make money?"
“Let’s wait a while longer! The plan has only just begun. Right now, your statue is only worth about 10,000 Nourishing Essence Pills. I’m going to add something to your wooden carving to make it truly worth 10,000 Nourishing Essence Pills,” Shen Xu said thoughtfully.
"This is so troublesome! I don't want to earn money anymore. I'll just be a kept man! There's nothing wrong with that." Qi Ling Baihe lowered her neck.
"You need to perk up! Whether you're a person or a crane, giving up halfway is fatal. Without a spirit of striving upwards, how can you continue to move forward?"
"And you don't need to worry about what happens next, just leave it to me," Shen Xu said with a smile.
"You said that? So I don't need to go tomorrow?"
"Of course! You don't need to go anytime soon."
"Alright! Here, take this. When Guanbi comes back, just tell her I gave her that wood carving." Qi Ling Baihe shook out the gold notes hidden in his feathers, and then flew towards his wooden house.
"What do you need to add to make your wood carving truly worth ten thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills?" Li Xiaoyi asked as he walked over from a distance.
"Xiao Yi, eavesdropping is not a good habit."
"Since you've discovered me, then I'm not considered to be eavesdropping."
Shen Xu was speechless for a moment, "Xiao Yi, you have really changed a lot."
"Oh? So what do you think I am like?" Li Xiaoyi asked with some curiosity.
“A person is complex and cannot be described in simple words.” Shen Xu wanted to avoid this potentially fatal question.
"What if I insist that you describe it?"
“Li Xiaoyi is Li Xiaoyi. No one can define you. In my heart, you are the one and only Li Xiaoyi,” Shen Xu replied after a moment of thought.
Hearing Shen Xu's answer, Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Although you avoided my question, I really like your answer."
"Xiao Yi, didn't you go to the Seven Luminaries Sect? Why are you back so soon?" Seeing that Li Xiao Yi was in a good mood, Shen Xu quickly changed the subject.
"What? You don't want to see me?"
"Of course not, it's just that I feel the Seven Luminaries Sect must be very prosperous, you should stay there for a longer period of time."
"I'm just going there to answer a few questions from the Seven Star Saints; there's no need for me to stay any longer."
Upon hearing the name of the Seven Luminaries Star Saint, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Although the Seven Luminaries Sect eventually fled Xingchuan Domain, the Seven Luminaries Star Saint remained in the Seven Luminaries Sect.
"You've only been gone a few days, and you've already accomplished something that has caused a sensation in the Sword Alliance with the Qiling White Crane. Are you short of money?"
"It wasn't me, it was the Qiling White Crane. It didn't want to eat the red jade fruit you gave it for free and insisted on earning its own living, so I had no choice but to help it," Shen Xu said matter-of-factly.
"Stop making excuses! Why would the Spirit Crane suddenly want to fend for itself, especially by making money? Do you want me to bring the Spirit Crane to confront you?"
"Xiao Yi, it's good to be lenient when you can. I didn't steal or rob, and this was a fair and square transaction between us. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it!"
“When did I say I would stop you from selling the statue of the Praying White Crane? I think you have a good business sense. If you agree to give me 50% afterwards, I can get the Heavenly Sword Merchant Guild to help you promote it.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu glanced at Li Xiaoyi with some surprise. He had actually forgotten that Li Xiaoyi was a member of the Heavenly Sword Merchant Guild. If he could get Li Xiaoyi's help, his plan would have a much higher chance of success.
But even between brothers, it's best to keep clear accounts. Giving Li Xiaoyi 50% is less efficient than simply killing him.
"No! Fifty percent is too much, twenty percent at most."
"Deal!" Li Xiaoyi smiled. Three thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills weren't a lot for her, but it would be too boring not to participate in something so interesting.
"Damn! I overestimated it." Shen Xu was filled with indescribable regret.
"Now you can tell me how you plan to make that wooden carving truly worth ten thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills." Li Xiaoyi's eyes couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.
"No rush. Since you've agreed to help me, I'll have to change my plans. I'll discuss what to do after Guanbi comes back."
"By the way, what is the Seven Luminaries Sect's attitude towards the Blood Central Realm? And how much do they plan to allocate to the Sword Alliance?"
"Currently, only a small number of people within the Seven Luminaries Sect know about the Blood Central Realm, and they have doubts about what I've told them. However, you don't need to worry too much. Since the True Origin Spirit hasn't said anything, the Seven Luminaries Sect naturally won't take action against the people of the Blood Central Realm."
As for how much profit the Sword Alliance will get, that's beyond my knowledge. They are even more eager to obtain the Blood Central Realm than we are, but Shuanghe Village, which is connected to the Blood Central Realm, is still in our hands. I suppose the Sword Alliance won't give up too much of its profits.
During this period, the Seven Luminaries Sect will send people to Shuanghe Village, and presumably the boundary gate will begin construction soon.
After all, time could be unpredictable, and the Blood Central Realm was slowly drifting away from Shuanghe Village.
Upon hearing about the Boundary Gate, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a sense of worry. If the Seven Luminaries Sect and the Four Directions Sword Alliance were to dedicate most of their resources to building the Boundary Gate at this time, wouldn't they be even less able to fight back against the Blood Fiend Palace's invasion?
But he was helpless about it. Since both sects already knew about the existence of the Blood Central Realm, they couldn't just sit by and watch it escape. He couldn't make any decisions.
At this moment, outside the central square, Bai Lu and Guan Bi, somewhat exhausted, squeezed out of the crowd constantly asking about prices.
"It's really not easy! It's just an ordinary statue, right? Why are those people acting like they've gone crazy? Someone actually offered 100,000 to buy the statue you have."
"It's making me want to sell the wooden carving I have. After all, it's the first wooden carving of the Qiling White Crane. It wouldn't be unreasonable to sell it for 80,000 or 100,000!" Bai Lu said with some emotion.
“It’s different. What they want is this one in my hand. No matter how similar the other wood carvings are, they won’t sell for that price unless the Qiling White Crane comes to sell it again.”
Recalling the yearning looks in everyone's eyes, Guan Bi thought Shen Xu was truly a genius. He had figured out everyone's thoughts without even leaving the house. He and the Heart Demon Lord could probably have a very pleasant chat.
If each wooden carving is priced at 10,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills, even if Shen Xu only sells one a year, it would be enough to support his stable cultivation to the Yuan Dan realm without having to go out and risk his life to earn Sword Alliance contribution points. Moreover, she doesn't think Shen Xu can only sell one a year.
