Chapter 352 Marketing Strategy

"Shen Xu, Shen Xu! I've found a way to make money!" Early in the morning, the excited voice of the white crane in the ancient forest interrupted Shen Xu, who was concentrating on his cultivation.

Looking in the direction from which the Qiling White Crane had flown, it seemed that the creature hadn't returned all night, which made Shen Xu curious about the money-making method the Qiling White Crane had mentioned.

"Then tell me, and I'll see if it's feasible," Shen Xu asked with a light laugh.

"Don't worry! It's absolutely feasible." Standing tall in front of him, Qi Ling Baihe was very excited.

“I went out for a walk yesterday and found that I’m very popular wherever I go. People there all bring me things to try and please me. If you just follow me and collect those things, you’ll definitely be able to sell them for a good price,” Qi Ling Baihe said earnestly.

"Uh... is this still the legendary noble and pure Praying White Crane? How did it turn into a begging crane! And it even wants to take me along to beg." Shen Xu's expression couldn't help but be a little strange.

You should know that in the past, the Praying White Crane would not approach anyone it disliked, no matter how precious the fruit offered.

Moreover, if we really did what Qi Ling Baihe wanted, anyone would think that he had instructed Qi Ling Baihe to do so, and he would probably start a fight with others.

"Could I have led him astray? But I haven't done anything immoral!" Shen Xu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

No, what you can't have is always the best. If the White Crane of Prayer did that, its value would probably plummet! How would it make money from its statue then?

"Shen Xu, how are you feeling?" Qi Ling Baihe asked impatiently.

"I don't think it will work!" Shen Xu said, frowning.

"Why?" Qi Ling Baihe asked, puzzled.

"Think about it, why are they trying to please you? They definitely want you to follow them."

If you take their things but don't follow them, they'll eventually realize you just want their stuff, and they won't try to please you anymore. This kind of money-making method is not sustainable.

Whether you're a person or a crane, you need to have a long-term vision; you have to cast a long line to catch a big fish!

"You're right, but this is the only method I can think of." Qi Ling Baihe couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"They've taken the bait!" Shen Xu's face lit up with joy.

"I do have a rough idea, what do you think?" Shen Xu said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" Qi Lingbaihe asked with a curious look.

“Didn’t you say you’re popular wherever you go? We could sell something related to you and set an exorbitant price. That way, it won’t tarnish your image, and you can still earn money through your labor. But what should we sell?” Shen Xu couldn’t help but feel troubled.

"Shen Xu, let's sell my statue!" Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Qi Ling Baihe immediately said excitedly.

“But you said you couldn’t easily make a statue of yourself.” Shen Xu hesitated.

"Didn't you say you wanted to set an astronomical price? Whoever is willing to pay an astronomical price for my statue, I'll give it to them."

"Okay, I'll tell you, after you get the wood carving, this is what you need to do..."

……

The central square of Tianjian Mountain is located in the core area of ​​Tianjian and is the only way to enter and exit the various areas of Tianjian Mountain, so it is always bustling with people.

The sect square was bustling with people and incredibly lively.

Disciples and visitors from all directions gathered, some discussing their cultivation experiences in small groups, others intently watching the real-time illusory projections on the central square, which showcased major events that had occurred within the sect.

Their expressions were either solemn or excited, with occasional exclamations or whispers.

At noon, a white crane carrying a wooden carving gracefully landed on a high platform in the central square.

"It's the same white crane that prayed for life from yesterday!" someone exclaimed as they saw the white crane.

"A white crane for praying for spirits? Is there anything special about it?" Someone looked at the white crane above the platform with a puzzled expression.

"You don't even know about the White Crane of Prayer? Go back and study for a few more years!"

"This is a legendary auspicious beast that can ward off evil and bring good fortune. If you can gain its approval, your future cultivation path will be smooth sailing," a young man in purple robes explained to the others.

"However, I have never heard of such a mythical beast in Tianjian Mountain. Where did this one come from?"

"Senior Brother Zhao, you may not know this, but this Praying Spirit White Crane went to many places in Tianjian Mountain yesterday. Everywhere it went, it caused a commotion. Everyone wanted to touch it, but they ended up scaring it away."

I thought it would never come back, but unexpectedly it came to this place again today. I just don't know what it wants to do.

“I’ve only ever heard that the Praying White Crane only associates with people of peaceful mind and noble character. Could it be that it is seeking its appreciator?” A woman in a white dress asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone had some thoughts in their hearts.

“Then I’ll give it a try!” the purple-robed youth said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Zhao is hardly a paragon of high moral character! If he scares away the Qiling White Crane again, wouldn't he become a sinner to everyone?" A burly man in black robes mocked from the crowd.

"I'll gladly oblige if you want to fight, but I won't allow you to insult me!"

"So telling the truth is an insult? I've certainly learned something new," Long Zhi said with a disdainful look.

"you……"

"Alright, stop arguing. It looks like that white crane is about to leave," the woman in the white dress advised.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward the high platform. Sure enough, shortly after the woman in the white dress finished speaking, the white crane flapped its wings and flew into the distance.

"No, it seems to have left something behind!" someone suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent, and in an instant, all sorts of lights flew towards the high platform.

But before they could fly to their destination, they heard a very angry cry from the sky, which immediately made them stop.

The white crane flew back to the high platform, then swept its cold gaze over everyone before flapping its wings and flying away into the distance once more.

"It seems it doesn't want us to find what it left behind." The woman in the white dress couldn't help but smile wryly.

"But it should be fine to check, right?"

At this moment, none of the people in the square were weak, and their eyesight was naturally excellent.

Soon everyone discovered that what the Qiling White Crane left behind was a white crane wood carving made of pine wood. It was lifelike and perfectly natural, as if it had been carved from the same mold as the Qiling White Crane.

"This... who carved it? Not only is there no trace of carving, but it is also full of spirit. It must be the work of a master."

"More than who carved this wooden sculpture, I'm curious why the White Crane of Prayer would leave this statue here?"

"I think the owner of the wood carving should be able to answer our questions."

"You mean, this white crane is looking for the maker of this statue, so it deliberately placed the statue here to attract that person?"

“I didn’t say, but it’s definitely related to the owner behind the wood carving.”

"I love joining in the fun. There aren't many people in Tianjian Mountain who can make this kind of wood carving. I'll just ask around and find out who it is! I want to see what that Praying White Crane is up to."

"Then I'll make a sign to warn others not to take the statue without permission!"
