Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Earning Money
When she arrived at the palace, she directly ran in and shouted, "Sister Yanlan!"
"What's wrong?"
At that moment, Liu Yanlan was busy handling the sect's affairs.
An immortal sect like the Hehuan Sect needs to develop.
Problems can't just be solved with cultivation.
How to obtain cultivation resources is a problem that all immortal sects constantly face.
"Could you do me a favor? Could you let Brother Tang Yu teach me how to paint?"
Nangong Ying approached and hugged Liu Yanlan, smiling and leaning on her while making a coquettish gesture.
"Hmm? Paint? Aren't you the best painter in our Hehuan Sect?"
Upon hearing that Nangong Ying had come to ask for this, Liu Yanlan was somewhat confused.
As the well-known little millionaire of the Hehuan Sect, her younger sister had made a lot of money from painting.
Even other immortal sects had many fans of hers.
Some of these fans bought her paintings hoping to become Dao partners.
Those annoying cultivators had spared no expense in spending spiritual stones.
"An hour ago, yes, but not anymore."
Nangong Ying pulled out a painting that Tang Yu had given her and showed it.
"Do you see? His paintings are much better than mine."
Liu Yanlan took a glance, then her eyes went blank, and she frowned, saying:
"It is indeed impressive, if you sold it under your name, those men would definitely fight over it."
"Yes, yes, that's why I want him to teach me, but he doesn't want to, he says there's a rule in his house about passing the art only to men."
Nangong Ying slid onto her lap and complained, "Really, the relationship between Dao companions makes no sense."
"Not teaching the art? That's not difficult, just become his cultivation companion, and you'll be part of the family."
Liu Yanlan laughed softly: "After all, he is the closest disciple to the Elder, so you could say they are closer."
"Sister, you're also a sect companion, why don't you join him?"
Nangong Ying opened her eyes in surprise.
But from this perspective, a huge figure blocked her view.
This seemed quite good to her, and she imitated Tang Yu by stretching her body, trying to touch.
The next second, she felt her body being lifted and fell to the ground.
"Sister seems to have improved a lot in her cultivation, this space transfer technique is really useful. When I level up, I'll do the same and transfer the spiritual stones from others' storage rings into my pocket!"
After a mocking smile, Nangong Ying looked at this skill with some envy.
"I think you could consider that you and he share a talent for painting, shouldn't you feel some resonance?"
Liu Yanlan asked without looking up.
"If I haven't even tried, how would I feel resonance? Besides, we just met, who would start like that? I'm not a cultivator who's been looking for a Dao partner for hundreds of years, in a hurry to find someone to cultivate together."
Nangong Ying rolled her eyes.
Liu Yanlan, who had been writing, paused momentarily.
Nangong Ying felt a chill down her spine, realized something, and quickly ran outside, shouting as she ran:
"Sister, you have to convince Brother Tang Yu..."
She hadn't finished speaking when her body flew out of control.
When she landed, she rubbed her sore bottom and sighed.
This sister doesn't take care of her disciples, I can't live like this anymore!
After getting rid of the annoying presence, Liu Yanlan was also somewhat depressed.
The Hehuan Sect master, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, still had no Dao partner.
Since the founding of the Hehuan Sect, she was the first.
Even the Elder had mentioned this twice.
What he meant was that if she could find a suitable partner, her future would be as promising as his.
Sighing deeply, she put those annoying thoughts aside and continued with her duties.
When Tang Yu returned to the Jade Tower, he saw that there were two guardians at the door.
"Welcome, Elder Tang."
Upon seeing Tang Yu return, Zhao Dashun and Liu Facai immediately approached to greet him.
"What are you two doing here?"
Seeing the two there, Tang Yu asked in confusion.
"Didn't you ask us today to get some paintings? We prepared something smaller, along with painting paper and other supplies..."
The two started pulling out a large number of items from their storage rings.
Then, both offered a brush and an ink bottle.
"Elder Tang, this is a small gift from us. These two items are high-quality spiritual artifacts."
"This brush only needs to be infused with spiritual energy to make the painting even more powerful. And this ink bottle..."
The two began to explain the artifacts they had bought.
These types of spiritual artifacts are mainly used for observation.
In combat, they wouldn't be of much use.
Therefore, their price was even higher than other similar artifacts.
After all, those who buy these things are cultivators with money and plenty of time.
"It's a nice gesture."
Seeing the sincere expressions of the two, Tang Yu smiled and asked with appreciation: "How many spiritual stones did they cost?"
"It's not expensive, not expensive, just a small detail."
The two quickly gestured to avoid talking about it.
"Say it, I don't like it when the people around me lose out."
Tang Yu raised an eyebrow.
The two looked at each other and said sincerely, "This set cost high-quality spiritual stones."
"High-quality spiritual stones? What's your monthly salary in the sect?"
"We are central disciples, we receive two spiritual stones a month."
Tang Yu took out ten high-quality spiritual stones from his storage ring and threw them at them.
"Thanks for the gift, Elder Tang."
The two lackeys didn't say anything and quickly knelt to thank him.
"Get up, kneeling is not allowed!"
Tang Yu lifted them with a low shout and then asked:
"I see my sister Nangong values spiritual stones so much, do you know why?"
After all, Nangong Ying was a descendant of the Elder, and her status in the sect wasn't inferior to hers.
A beauty like her almost wrote on my face that I'm adorable and that I should give her spiritual stones.
This made Tang Yu a bit curious.
The two looked at each other, and Liu Facai scratched his nose, saying quietly:
"This is one of the strange occurrences in our Hehuan Sect, I dare to assume that our sect is somewhat poor... Elder Nangong wants more spiritual stones to buy artifacts and such."
"Our Hehuan Sect is poor?"
Tang Yu didn't know much about the seven major sects, but this statement caught his attention.
"Well, among the seven major sects, our sect is at the bottom in terms of power, and it has a lot to do with being poor. There aren't enough cultivation resources, and even though we have talented disciples, it's hard to develop them. Also, several have left for other sects..."
Zhao Dashun started explaining hastily.
Speaking with enthusiasm, his eyes seemed ready to join in.
"Let's go inside, tell me more about the sect's income."
Being one of the richest men in Blue Star, Tang Yu was used to having money and couldn't tolerate the sect being poor.
If the sect grows, his back leg will also become thicker.
The two quickly followed Tang Yu into the Jade Tower and started talking about the sect's income.
For an immortal sect, cultivation resources are key to its performance.
The sources of income for the seven major sects vary, and they even compete against each other in business.
For example, one of the reasons the Jade Woman Sect and the Hehuan Sect don't get along,
is that both sects produce cloud stones.
To take over the market, they have been lowering prices between them, and in the end, both were harmed.
In addition to the sect's products, the seven major sects also have territories of influence.
The Hehuan Sect protects eight secular countries.
These secular countries are one of the main sources of income for the Hehuan Sect.
With the sect's protection,
no cultivator in those countries would dare to cause trouble.
Even the civilians can live a relatively peaceful life.
"I see."
After these two geniuses explained the situation, Tang Yu understood.
He had always wondered why in cultivation novels, great cultivators suddenly destroy cities and countries with a single move.
If they kill all the mortals, wouldn't the cultivators be gone too?
There must always be someone working in production.
Cultivators also come from mortals.
If the mortals run out, won't the cultivators be destined for extinction?
"In short, the economic base determines the upper structure, the way to make money is easy to find."
As a successful capitalist, Tang Yu had plenty of experience in making money.
Just as he was thinking of sending the two on a task,
he saw an elegant figure walking towards him from outside.
It was Nangong Ying, who had brought a basket of spiritual fruits to visit him.
She had changed clothes before coming.
As she walked, her long legs peeked out from under the chiffon skirt.
Zhao Dashun and Liu Facai didn't dare to look at her much, and quickly lowered their heads to retreat to the corner.
Lest Elder Nangong take their spiritual stones.
After seeing those breath-taking legs,
Tang Yu instantly thought of what his first business would be.
Selling black stockings first!
As for leg models, I just saw one in front of me!
