Before Jiang Xia started practicing, he heard Ma Tishu say that all the sacred mountains and good lands in the Ku Mu Territory had already been owned by someone.
There is no need to say much about the top sects such as the Thirty-Three Sects. Their sects are built directly on the earth veins. The spiritual energy there is much richer than that of the outside world. There are local sects in every place, and they all occupy the best places for cultivation.
The situation in the East is particularly serious, after all, most of the sects of the Immortal Alliance are here.
The Southern Wilderness, the Northern Border and the West Sea are better, but the security in those places is very poor, and they are not the land of the human race. For low-level cultivators, it is a problem whether they dare to go there, let alone practice.
Therefore, in recent years, the cultivation world in the East has become increasingly inward-looking.
There are more and more monks.
But there are only a few good places with sufficient spiritual energy, and they have all been taken by other people. Latecomers either have to join them or endure the hardship of living outdoors in pursuit of the flow of spiritual energy.
"Let me ask you, Fellow Daoist Ma, among the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance, are there any sects that are good at geomancy?"
Lao Jiang asked.
Martyrs immediately responded:
"Yes. When it comes to geomancy, no one in the entire cultivation world can compare with the masters of the Immortal Alliance Qintian Academy. They master...ah, I understand!"
Before Sanquezi could finish his words, he suddenly realized what was going on.
He looked at Jiang Xia's smile and said:
"The Imperial Academy is directly under the Immortal Alliance, not listed among the thirty-three sects, and is in charge of matters related to the star array. Although they are members of the Immortal Alliance, they have a special status."
"Do you understand?"
Old Jiang leaned on the table with a smile on his face, lit a cigarette, and said slowly as the smoke rose:
“Any businessman with a bit of brains will not try to join an already developed market. If you want to do big business, you must have forward-looking ideas and vision.
Finding a promising area that has not yet been explored by anyone is the basis for making big money.
There are three thousand great ways, and geomancy and magic are one of them. But now that no one is involved, fellow Taoist just needs to be the first to try it, and he will definitely make a lot of money.
Besides, fellow Taoist, you have mentioned before that your Sanque Mountain is a paradise that you accidentally discovered when you were traveling along the earth veins.
Being able to observe the trend of the earth veins and find the caves means that you have inherited the geomancy in Sanque Mountain, right?"
"Um."
Sanquezi nodded and said:
“My master… before he started practicing, he was a Feng Shui master. It is said that when he was searching for a spiritual cave for a noble, he accidentally discovered the cave of an ancient cultivator.
This is the beginning of the inheritance of Sanque Mountain.
My master is a man of spiritual aptitude. He spent some years practicing and became a cultivator, but he did not give up his old ways. He even specially looked for some secret scrolls on geomancy and magic, and also summed up his own set of methods.
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, fellow Taoist. A large part of the resources my master and I needed for our practice were gathered by my master through searching for dragons, fortune-telling, and finding the tombs of monks.
I have been practicing under my master for many years, and I learned this method from him, but since it is a wild tradition, I did not teach it to my disciples. "
"That's it!"
Jiang Xia clapped his hands, pointed at Luojiao Gorge and Yunhuo Cave on the map and said:
“Both of these places are sacred places, and the deaths of Zhu Baifeng and Yunhuo Taoist have made them ownerless. I have let Kunlun Square occupy them and driven away some independent cultivators who wanted to take advantage of them.
A new cave was also built there.
Fellow Daoist, listen to me. Just start from these two places. I will teach you how to operate it. Just test the waters locally, sign contracts with those independent cultivators who have nowhere to practice, and rent the caves in this place to them.
Or just let them buy it..."
"That won't work."
Martyrs immediately shook his head and said:
"There is no such thing as a land deed for the sacred land in this world. As the saying goes, good things belong to those with virtue. We cannot say that just because we occupy it, it really belongs to us, and we do not have the right to buy or sell sacred land.
The most realistic problem is, even if a fellow Taoist really buys it, if it is forcibly taken away by others, then what is the use of this contract? "
"Just listen to me."
Jiang Xia explained:
“It’s definitely not just empty talk. If they rent or buy a cave to practice, we will use the channels of the Fengshan Association to provide them with magic tools, elixirs, and discounts.
Moreover, the outer sect of Mo Shuang Mountain will be responsible for the security issues, ensuring that they can practice in peace and without being disturbed.
As for the title deed...
Just because it didn’t exist before doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist now!
We have fenced off the land and built caves. Each cave has a spirit-receiving array. This can be considered as an initial investment. Besides, have you forgotten, fellow Taoist?
All the sacred mountains in Kumu Realm can be traced back to one immortal spirit."
"You mean, Great God Changshan?"
Martyrs twisted his beard and said thoughtfully:
"Indeed, according to the spirits, the sacred mountains in the world are all the manifestations of the body of the immortal Changshan God. If we really use our human race's words, the sacred mountains in various places do have owners.
They were all "borrowed" by the Great God of Changshan to the monks for their practice.
But it's no use.
That immortal, in our human realm, is already a great power in the sea of ​​suffering. We two small cultivators cannot even pay homage to him, let alone find a way to him. "
"You have no connections."
Old Jiang smiled mysteriously and said:
"I have a connection! If I'm lucky, I'll probably be able to meet the daughter of Changshan God during my trip to the Southern Wilds... She's my own daughter!
Even if the Great God Changshan doesn't care about these little things , as his daughter, I also have the right to deal with my father's "property rights" issues, right?
It was okay in the past because the monsters didn’t care.
But now that we want to do this business, it is legitimate to get in touch with the main family. As long as we get in touch with the old lady who guards the mountain, then you can get a legitimate deed to the sacred place you found through feng shui.
If anyone dares to talk too much, let them go to Changshan God for judgment first!"
"Well, this statement is a bit strange, but it makes sense."
Ma Tishu's expression became profound. He squinted his eyes and thought about it. Then he said to Lao Jiang:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please continue. I still don't quite understand."
“It’s a very simple truth.”
Lao Jiang spread his hands and explained:
“Fellow Daoist Ma, once you have found a sacred place and obtained the title deed, you can start building a cave residence. Then, use the Hongyan Society’s channels to publish rental information to independent cultivators who have no land to practice in the world.
Sign a contract with them and allow them to practice in our "building".
We can also develop the property by the way and provide them with elixirs and magic tools. In this way, the business of our Fengshan Association will be connected. It may develop slowly in the beginning, but as long as the reputation is established, it will snowball.
As long as fellow Taoists can continue to find good places, independent cultivators will definitely come here in an endless stream. There are also some strange skills that require a specific environment to practice.
Those specific sacred places are very hard to find, but for Taoist friends, it is not difficult to find them with the help of geomancy.
Making money comes second.
The big things are to build up a reputation and occupy some land. If you find good land in the future, you can even sell it to small sects and make a lot of profit. Of course, you also have to give a portion of the profit to the monsters in Yandang Pond.
It’s important to maintain your connections.”
Old Jiang became more and more excited as he spoke. He opened his arms and said to Ma Tishu:
“In the future, wherever there is Sanqueshan real estate, there will be our Fengshan Association’s business routes and shops. If everything goes well, perhaps many years later, we won’t have to rely on the Hongyan Association’s platform anymore.
We will have our own sales channels...
At that time, we could make a lot of money just by taking a commission.”
"Yeah, I think I understand."
Martishu nodded, with a gleam in his eyes , but he soon realized a very realistic problem.
"But here in the East, there are very few spiritual places to be found, and there are too many sects here."
"So, the first place we go is in the Southern Wilderness!"
Jiang Xia pointed at the red X on the Star Valley and said to Ma Tishu:
“Here in Xinggu, there are evil spirits entrenched, and there has been chaos for many years, but this is indeed the node of the Southern Wasteland’s land veins. I heard from my junior brother who was born in the Great Manglin that the concentration of spiritual energy here is not inferior to that of Mo Shuang Mountain.
To be honest, Fellow Daoist Ma, when I travel to the Southern Wilderness this time, I must go to the Star Valley.
There are some conflicts that must be resolved between me and the evil Yinhun Cult that is entrenched there. These are actually the follow-up matters of our last destruction of the Yunhuo Cave.
If you are willing to go on this adventure with me, after the success, I will give you this Star Valley to form your new sect!
Look.
Although Xinggu is a bit far from Yandangchi, it is still roughly on the edge of Yandangchi's sphere of influence. If fellow Taoists can establish good relationships with the monsters, it will be like holding on to a golden thigh.
In this southern wilderness, who dares to provoke those spirits who are banding together? Even the great Ghost Sect, the Sad Valley, dares not confront the spirits head-on, right? "
Lao Jiang said eloquently:
“Although the monsters are stupid, they have someone above them. As long as the Holy Spirit of Heaven and Earth, the powerful Lady Xixin from the other side, is still alive, this tribe of monsters will be able to run rampant in the Bitter Wood Territory.
According to my plan, if everything goes well, it is only a matter of time before your Sanque Mountain grows stronger under the protection of Yandang Pond.
And the Star Valley is very large.
In addition to using Sanque Mountain for personal use, you can also use it to search for dragons and find more spiritual lands for development. Within a few years at least, your real estate business will not be short of houses.”
"Oh, Brother Jiang is really good at scheming."
Sanquezi said with a smile:
“You are going to tie me to your chariot. I have also heard of the Ghost Cult. It is considered a big sect among the evil cultivators. This time, you want me to fight to the death with you.
but……
Since we are all brothers in Fengshan Society, we should shoulder the burden together. My fellow Taoist has planned so much for me. If I still don’t agree, it would be a bit hypocritical.
Okay.
Before you leave for the Southern Wilderness, please remember to inform me."
"Fellow Daoist Ma is indeed an old practitioner. I still can't hide my little trick from you."
Jiang Xia laughed, stretched out his hand and gently touched the table, and three volumes of Taoist books appeared on the table. He said to Ma Tishu:
"The art of geomancy is considered a rare art in the cultivation world, and not many people practice it. The price of the geomancy books sold by the Hongyan Society is also very low. I have found three precious books for you, fellow Taoist.
This 'Three Elements Record' is specifically used for cultivating the earth veins in the realm of truth. In addition to recording the secret techniques, it also has matching earth vein killing techniques, which do not conflict with the fire techniques practiced by fellow Taoists.
The remaining two books, 'Tian Ge Jue' and 'Han Long Jing', respectively record the secret method of finding dragons and sealing caves, as well as the practice of geomancy for cultivating the divine realm, which paves the way for the inheritance of the geomancy of Sanque Mountain.
As for the alchemy methods and inherited skills of Sanque Mountain, you will have to look for them slowly on your own. If you find something good but money is not enough, you can go to the Fengshan Association's treasury to withdraw money.
I have already told Wutong about this matter, and she will help you with it."
"Thank you very much, Brother Jiang."
Marty bowed again and thanked him. He looked back at the map, twirling his beard and said:
"I will go back and think about how to start this. According to what you said, this method has great potential, and it makes me excited. However, Yunhuo Cave is easier to go to. The spiritual energy there is more fire-oriented and abundant, which is attractive to casual cultivators.
But this Luo Jiaojian...
The spiritual energy is a little lacking, I am afraid it will be difficult to attract the interest of fellow Taoists."
"That place, that place is not prepared for casual cultivators."
Jiang Xia leaned over to take a look, patted Ma Tishu on the shoulder and said:
"That is prepared for mortals who are willing to practice."
"?"
Hearing this answer, Sanquezi's face was immediately full of question marks.
mortal?
Live in a spiritual place?
Is it so luxurious?
