Chapter 18 Investment "With the dual certification and support from Manager Hong and Master Lu, doesn't that mean I'm gifted?" Mu Chunfeng's eyes lit up. She was originally in a bad mood, but she instantly became energetic. Lu Qiu's becoming a second-level talisman master caused a sensation in the entire Nanshanfang. Several major foundation-building families knew that there was no hope of snatching him away, but they still came to send gifts for congratulations. Thinking that even if he could win friendship, Lu Qiu could sell a few second-level talismans. Some foundation-building families take a longer-term view. The appearance of Lu Qiu suddenly woke them up. If they couldn't catch Lu Qiu, how could they catch the second 'Lu Qiu'? For example, if he had made a heavy investment before Lu Qiu was promoted to a second-level talisman master or even became famous. When Lu Qiu becomes a second-level talisman master, how could he not be grateful and repay the favor? Therefore, the family gave Mu Chunfeng a second task, which was to ask her to find out whether there were other talented talisman masters in Lingfu Pavilion. Who is the next one with the best hope of being promoted to the second-level talisman master? After finding out the truth, the Mu family will try every means to make friends with them.
Even more so, it would be even better if we could form a marriage alliance with the Mu family. "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, who is it?" Mu Chunfeng urged with his eyes wide open. Jiang Jiuyue pursed her lips and looked at the two people not far away, and said, "That's the Xiao Changqing they mentioned." Mu Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became strange, and he asked in confusion: "Is it the former Taoist partner of that female cultivator? How is it possible?" Judging from the conversation between the two just now, it should be the female cultivator named Zhou Yun'e who left Xiao Changqing and followed this male cultivator. It seems that it is because they live too poor and cannot afford good food or good clothes. This situation is also very common in Nanshanfang. A poor and humble Taoist companion is sad about everything. Too many fellow practitioners have parted ways because they could no longer endure the poverty. But there is a problem. Zhou Yun'e's new Taoist partner doesn't look that good. He is probably just a local rich second-generation from Nanshanfang. His family owns two shops, and he has to work hard to have a meal at Laifenglou. People like this don't even have the qualifications to speak in front of Mu Chunfeng! However, Zhou Yun'e abandoned a fellow Taoist who had the potential to be a second-level talisman master, and it was all because of financial reasons. is it possible? Jiang Jiuyue shrugged, also with a ridiculous expression, "Who knows. Maybe Xiao Changqing was deeply shocked after being abandoned, and finally he had a sudden realization and got the hang of it. However, although Xiao Changqing is favored by my uncle and Senior Brother Lu, his current situation is indeed average. It was only a month ago that his talent as a talisman master was discovered and he became a formal member of our Spiritual Talisman Pavilion. Now he is still a talisman master who can only draw six basic talismans and has not entered the rank. As for his cultivation, it is even worse, he is only at the third level of Qi Refining." Mu Chunfeng was not disappointed but surprised. Whether one’s cultivation level is low or not is not an important condition for a talisman master. Even if one has low-grade spiritual roots, as long as one is rich enough and has enough resources, one can build up to the late stage of Qi training. My current attainments in talisman skills are not that deep... that's even better! As long as there is potential, it is worth investing in even if you are not a talisman master at the current level! The investment you make now may pay back a hundred or a thousand times in the future.
If you are already a first-level talisman master, investing will be much more difficult. Because a first-level talisman master is already considered a well-known figure in Nanshanfang, and as the exclusive magician of Lingfu Pavilion, he can live a very comfortable life. If the Foundation Building Family wants to make them grateful or establish a deep friendship with them, it will have to pay a considerable price. "Ji Yue, tell me in detail about Xiao Changqing and how he was valued by Manager Hong..." Mu Chunfeng said excitedly. Afterwards, Jiang Jiuyue made rapid progress in the past half month. He could draw the three most difficult basic talismans very skillfully in just half a month, with a high success rate. At the same time, I compared her original progress speed. She admitted that Xiao Changqing's understanding of several basic talismans was higher than hers. But she was not sure how long it would take Xiao Changqing to progress from the basic talismans to the advanced talismans, and why his subsequent progress was still so fast. "This is enough. I believe in the vision of Manager Hong and Master Lu Fu." Mu Chunfeng made up his mind and believed that Xiao Changqing was a potential stock very suitable for investment. As for whether Xiao Changqing can continue to maintain his impressive improvement speed after becoming a first-level talisman master, no one can guarantee it. After all, who can see the results of an investment in advance? It can only be said that judging from Xiao Changqing's current performance, he does have some of the trends of Lu Qiu back then. Few people know now that before Lu Qiu became a genius in Lingfu Pavilion, he had encountered many hardships and almost lost his life. If it weren't for the selfless help of shopkeeper Hong Jiantao, Lu Qiu wouldn't be where he is today. "Ji Yue, does Xiao Changqing have any needs recently?" Mu Chunfeng asked. Now that you have decided to invest, you should consider what method to use. The best thing, of course, is to cater to their needs and provide timely assistance. As the eldest daughter of the Mu family, she looks childish and cute, but not very smart. But in fact, whether in terms of cultivation talent or strategy, she is the leader among the younger generation of the Mu family. Jiang Jiuyue thought for a while, "It seems that he is preparing to move. He used to live in the outermost area of Nanshanfang, which was not even a cave. Now that he has spiritual stones, he plans to move to a better place to live, which is conducive to his cultivation." Mu Chunfeng nodded: "This is easy." As a foundation-building family, the Mu family owns a large number of properties in Nanshanfang, of various levels. However, giving away a cave is too insignificant. As long as a cultivator has a status in Nanshanfang and is not short of spirit stones, he can rent a very good cave. How can the significance of gifting a cave dwelling exceed the cave dwelling itself? When Mu Chunfeng's eyes swept over Zhou Yun'e and Hu Youquan again, his eyes suddenly lit up and a plan came to his mind. "If you want to help Xiao Changqing find a new place to live, you have to hurry. He should be moving in these two days..." Jiang Jiuyue reminded. Hear the words. Mu Chunfeng didn't even bother to eat the table full of expensive spiritual food. "I paid for the meal. This meal is on my table. I'll be leaving first..." Mu Chunfeng ran straight home. There is no need to ask Xiao Changqing for more detailed information.
Knowing his name, working in Lingfu Pavilion, living in a shantytown and about to move, with the influence of the Mu family in Nanshanfang, it would be easy to find Xiao Changqing. …… …… "Would you like to rent a cave? What level of cave would you like to rent? What is your budget?" An old monk wearing a standard Taoist robe looked at Xiao Changqing with a smile. There are a large number of independent cultivators from outside who rent caves in Nanshanfang, so naturally there will be institutions similar to "real estate agencies". However, the agency in Nanshanfang is "officially" controlled, and there is only one such agency. That is to say, it is managed by several major foundation-building families behind the scenes. "A D-level cave, a better one. The monthly rent is about ten low-grade spirit stones, or a little higher is fine. I'd like to trouble you to recommend one." Xiao Changqing informed the other party of his demands. Ten low-grade spirit stones, after the subsidy from Lingfu Pavilion is reimbursed, is only five. Even if I can only receive the minimum monthly salary due to practicing more to improve my proficiency in the cleaning talisman, I can still afford it easily. "You're quite rich." The old cultivator saw that Xiao Changqing's cultivation was not high, and seemed to be still in the initial stage of Qi Refining, but he could actually afford to live in a cave that cost more than ten spirit stones. Just when the old monk was about to introduce the cave that met the conditions. A round-faced young female cultivator in a purple robe quickly came over, "But Xiao Changqing, Fellow Daoist Xiao?" Xiao Changqing was stunned for a moment, searched his memory and found that he probably didn't know this woman, so he asked, "Who are you?" "My name is Mu Chunfeng. I learned that Fellow Daoist Xiao wanted to rent a cave, so I have been waiting here for a long time." The beautiful female cultivator in purple smiled. (End of this chapter)
