Sorry, I'm Slightly Better Below

Chapter 88 Half a Year

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Azure Sun Sect ushered in the annual day to recruit new disciples.

At the same time, many outer sect disciples who had not entered the inner sect had to leave Azure Sun Sect on this day.

…

In the small courtyard of Rising Cloud Peak, Chen Ze closed his eyes and meditated.

Rising Cloud Peak did not recruit new disciples this year. According to Sun Zhirong, the master did not attend the initiation ceremony for outer disciples at all.

In fact, he can understand it in his heart.

The first reason why Master is unwilling to accept any more disciples is probably because he found that accepting a disciple requires a lot of energy.

As for the second reason... it is most likely because she may have to fight Master Yuan of Heaven-Connecting Peak in a year's time.

If she wins this victory, she might become the master of Heaven-Connecting Peak in the future, and she might even recruit a Hammer disciple.

…

"Senior Brother Chen, I brought Junior Sister Mo here!"

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Sun Zhirong's voice suddenly sounded outside the small courtyard.

When Chen Ze heard this, he subconsciously wanted to wave and use spiritual energy to open the door, but after his hand came out, he thought about it and got up and walked to the door.

After opening the door, he immediately saw Sun Zhirong and Mo Ling standing outside the courtyard.

Mo Ling was currently wearing the clothes of an outer disciple of Azure Sun Sect, and his eyes were full of curiosity and expectation of coming to a new environment.

This reminded Chen Ze of the scene when he was at school in his previous life and welcomed the new school girl.

"Mo Ling has met Senior Brother Chen."

Seeing Chen Ze, Mo Ling looked more serious, and then bowed respectfully.

Chen Ze smiled lightly: "There are no elders here, so there is no need to be so polite."

When Mo Ling heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he responded cheerfully: "Okay!"

Chen Ze smiled and walked to the courtyard door, opened it for them, and then took them into the main room.

After pouring a cup of tea for each of them, Chen Ze looked at Mo Ling and said, "Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with as a newbie?"

"No! Senior Brother Chen, the spiritual energy of this Azure Sun Sect is so strong! My cultivation speed here is probably several times faster than outside!"

Mo Ling replied with joy on his face.

Chen Ze looked at her cultivation.

Qi Refining four floors.

It was stronger than when he first started.

If this girl is more diligent, she will be able to reach at least the sixth level of Qi Refining, and may even reach the seventh level of Qi Refining by the time of the demon-slaying trial half a year later.

"Well, if you encounter any difficulties in the sect in the future, you can ask Senior Brother Sun to solve them."

Chen Ze said lightly.

Ever since Sun Zhirong took the initiative to make friends with him last time, he had accepted this younger brother by default.

This young man is now one of the best among the old disciples in the outer sect. In addition, he has a wide network of connections, so there is no problem in taking care of the new disciple Mo Ling.

"Okay, then we have Senior Brother Laosun!"

Mo Ling bowed her hand to Sun Zhirong.

"Haha, you're welcome. Maybe I will need Junior Sister Mo to take care of me in a few years."

Sun Zhirong laughed and said politely.

Chen Ze finally got to the point at this time.

"Junior sister Mo, that business matter..."

Mo Ling immediately replied after hearing this: "Everyone in the family agrees...I just don't know where Senior Brother Chen plans to do the business?"

"Just put it in Ruifeng City. It will be operational within half a year."

Chen Ze replied.

The reason why it was built in Ruifeng City was firstly because Ruifeng City was large enough and not far from Azure Sun Sect, and secondly because he had some connections in Ruifeng City.

As for why it is half a year, it is because half a year later is the time for the Azure Sun Sect demon-killing trial, and it is easy to attract some people to participate in the auction at that time.

"Well, I will write to Grandpa when I get back... As for how to share the profits, how about we discuss it after the business officially starts running?"

Mo Ling asked tentatively.

"Haha, no problem."

Chen Ze smiled and then raised the tea cup in his hand.

Mo Ling understood this immediately, picked up his tea cup, touched it with Chen Ze, and drank it all in one gulp.

As for Sun Zhirong next to him, he was confused.

…

Time flies.

Chen Ze used the contribution points he had accumulated to hibernate in Rising Cloud Peak, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past half year, apart from carrying out some normal social activities to maintain the relationship between relatives and friends, he spent almost all of his time practicing.

Early that morning, Sun Zhirong came to Chen Ze's hospital with a pamphlet.

"Senior Brother Chen, I've left this month's Fengyunlu at the door for you!"

The so-called Fengyunlu is actually a booklet that collects all kinds of events that happened in the past month.

This is the method that Senior Brother Chen taught him to earn spiritual stones.

If other disciples in the sect want to buy a copy of Fengyunlu for that month, they need eight spiritual stones. If they pay monthly, it will be five spiritual stones per month.

Since starting this business, he has now accumulated 14 stable customers who pay monthly, which is 70 spirit stones this month, which is a considerable income.

As for Senior Brother Chen, there is no need to pay.

"OK."

Chen Ze agreed in the courtyard.

After Sun Zhirong put down Fengyunlu, he added: "By the way, Senior Brother Chen, Junior Sister Mo said that the business you are partnering with... is still somewhat short of supply. I hope Senior Brother Chen can think of a solution."

Chen Ze was slightly startled when he heard this, and it took him a moment to react.

He forgot that the auction was about to start.

As for the supply of goods...

In addition to Senior Sister and Junior Sister Xu, he had to open up another channel.

But the problem is that opening channels requires spiritual stones...

After half a year of hard training, his contribution points have been emptied, and he only has four Middle Grade spiritual stones left.

This is still reserved for Bu Yunlu's use.

Proper poor people.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze quickly said: "Junior Brother Sun! Wait!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhirong outside immediately became vigilant.

"What's wrong...Senior Brother Chen?"

Sun Zhirong jumped into the yard, walked to the window and said cautiously.

Chen Ze sighed softly and said: "Junior Brother Sun, you also know that the Mo family and I are doing a big business. Originally, I was planning to do it alone. After all, once this business is completed, the harvest will be huge.

But now..."

Before Chen Ze could continue, Sun Zhirong took out a storage bag and put it on the table in front of the window.

"Senior Brother Chen... Please accept these hundred spiritual stones. As for doing business, forget it... Junior Brother, I have a small fortune and I really can't afford it."

After speaking, Sun Zhirong looked at Chen Ze with a pitiful expression.

After getting along with him for half a year, he had a deeper understanding of Senior Brother Chen.

I have to admit that this Senior Brother Chen does have some fantastic ideas.

Just like doing things like Fengyunlu.

But business cannot be successful just by having a whimsical idea.

What's more important is that Senior Brother Chen always has a loud voice...

If he agrees to do business in partnership, he will most likely give up all his wealth...

If he loses, Senior Brother Chen will pat his head and go to the next business, but he will have to fight again.

The risks and benefits are so out of proportion... let's forget it.

"Look at your potential! Get out of here!"

Chen Ze curled his lips, then waved his hand casually, and threw Sun Zhirong's storage bag out of the window.

When Sun Zhirong saw this, he felt as if he was being amnesty. He immediately picked up the storage bag and jumped out of the yard.

…

After Sun Zhirong left, Chen Ze picked up the Fengyunlu and read it carefully.

Fengyunlu is divided into two parts, one part is about Azure Sun Sect and some things that happened around it, and the other part is about the major events that happened in Yan Kingdom.

Since he has been practicing in the Azure Sun Sect all year round, this thing is almost his only way to understand the outside world.

"Senior Brother Wu Qi of Fallen Cloud Peak and Senior Brother Guo Dong of Dragon Sign Peak had a conflict, and the two agreed to compete in the main peak arena at the end of the month. (Suspected to be because of Senior Sister Qin of Fallen Cloud Peak)"

Looking at the notes at the back, Chen Ze smiled lightly.

This is the only one with notes, and other records of events don't.

Otherwise, Sun Zhirong would most likely be beaten by the person involved.

"Senior Brother Zhao Qiankun of Heaven-Connecting Peak successfully killed Cao Ke, the Demonic Cultivator of the Soul Control Sect, who was ranked 156th on the bounty list at the border."

"The Zhang family, a famous cultivating family in Lingshan City, was wiped out overnight, and the murderer is unknown."

…

"Xiao Tianqing, the genius of the Lingxu Sect, encountered a mysterious demon cultivator of the Demonic Mind at the border. The two fought fiercely for a while, but the opponent was defeated and escaped. (The reward for the demonic cultivator Ye Tang, who is ranked 128th on the sect's bounty list, has been increased to Five thousand contribution points, ranking improved by twenty places, suspected to be the opponent Xiao Tianqing encountered)"

Seeing this piece of information, Chen Ze's eyes flashed with surprise.

He has seen the name Xiao Tianqing for three months in a row.

It is said that this person is a rare genius of Lingxu Sect in hundreds of years. He has already entered the Foundation Building Late Stage at the age of nineteen this year.

In the past three months, he has killed three demon geniuses in a row and had scandals with four female cultivators from other sects...

As the saying goes, there is no false person under a great reputation. No matter what, there is no doubt about this person's strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to attract attention in just a random battle.

As for Ye Tang being able to escape from him, he must have at least reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

"These people practice really fast..."

Chen Ze sighed softly, and then continued reading.

"Feng Luo, the son of the leader of Tianjian Sect, became a Taoist couple with the third princess of Yan Kingdom..."

"Zhongzhou Imperial City will hold a large-scale auction in three months. It is rumored that several treasures will be sold publicly in this auction."

…

"Zhongzhou Imperial City... is such a good place."

Chen Ze whispered softly.

Yan State has nine states, and the six major sects are divided into six states.

In addition to these six states, there are three other states.

Although there are no famous mountains or rivers with particularly strong spiritual energy in these three states, the spiritual energy is distributed relatively evenly, so many large-scale immortal cultivating families and medium-sized sects have been born.

The transaction demand of these families and medium-sized sects is very large, so various market auctions are far more prosperous than those in Qingzhou.

Among the three states, Zhongzhou, located in the center of the entire Yan Kingdom, was the most prosperous, so that many powerful sects or monks from other vassal states came to Zhongzhou to do business.

It can be said that Zhongzhou is the monk trading center of the entire Yan Kingdom.

"Why don't you go to Zhongzhou? There are many markets there and they are large in scale. It's easy to miss something."

Chen Ze secretly thought.

In fact, when he was very young, he had the idea of ​​​​looking for Fangshi to pick up leaks... But the problem was that he didn't have much strength at that time, and it was too dangerous to go to places like Fangshi.

But things are different now.

Now he is also a Foundation Building monk, so he can go shopping.

On the one hand, you can pick up some things and bring them back for auction.

On the other hand, you can also pick it up and hand it over to the sect in exchange for contribution points.

No matter what, this way of earning contribution points is easier than doing various tasks.

As for the treasure house in Azure Sun Sect...it has been screened by countless people, and there is really nothing left to pick out.

With this thought, Chen Ze made up his mind.

Recently I took some time to visit the markets in Zhongzhou.

But the problem is that you need some start-up capital to pick up the leaks...

Who should I borrow some from?
