Chapter 658: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_3
Therefore, after making a large fortune, Chen Mobai maintained his price of 70 Good Deed Points undaunted, making it a satisfactory conclusion for the year.
After receiving this large sum of Good Deed Points, he deducted the tax for the Immortal Gate authorities, just enough to pay off the first two loans from the Immortal Gate’s bank.
One of them was the five million Good Deed Points Chen Mobai took as a loan from Life-Extension Cultivation Institute using his Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory as collateral to purchase elixirs.
The latter was guaranteed by Qin Baipeng, considered as the Immortal Gate’s policy support for his settling as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, also amounting to five million.
After paying off these two loans, Chen Mobai was left with the debt that he had secured with the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror.
He could likely be debt-free by next year if he had another massive year-end sale like this again.
At the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai planned to be steady and sure.
The Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory would continue to research Rank-2 paper and ink talismans. The good quality ones would be sold to the customers here, and those returned would be taken to the South Mountain Shop.
However, to avoid any leaks, Chen Mobai had the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory sign an order for the raw materials for two hundred thousand talisman papers from the Spirit Wood supplier in Yu Wood City next door.
After all, it would take at least three or four years for the Spirit Wood in his fire-poisoned land to grow enough for harvest.
If his puppet factory had no signs of raw material deliveries for a long time, suspicions would inevitably be raised over time. Even if his face could cover it up, it would certainly leave a trace at the relevant departments.
He would publicly claim that the puppet factory’s annual production was just so much. Each year, the extra three hundred thousand talisman papers would all be dumped into the Eastern Wilderness.
The Divine Wood Sect could consume five hundred thousand talisman papers within the four countries under its command in a year. If the whole Eastern Wilderness was considered as the market, this output should be just right.
Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt that these talisman papers would expose the production capacity of the puppet factory if kept at the Immortal Gate. So, he worked hard to move them all to South Mountain.
Then he called over his eldest disciple Liu Wenbo and pointed to the mountainous pile of snow-white talisman papers, indicating that they were to be his responsibility.
“Disciple will not let you down, Master.”
Liu Wenbo was first shocked, then he summoned Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, and the three of them cooperated to move these talisman papers to a warehouse at the foot of the mountain.
“Master, this is the income from the five Fang Markets in Jian Country last year. After deducting the shop rent and market fees, it totals thirty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-two lower-grade Spirit Stones.”
After moving the talisman papers, Liu Wenbo came up the mountain again and handed a storage bag to Chen Mobai with both hands.
“Very good, you’ve worked hard.”
After Chen Mobai accepted it, he found that most of them had already been exchanged into intermediate-grade Spirit Stones. He couldn’t help but be even more satisfied with his eldest disciple, and nodded repeatedly.
He gave a thousand Spirit Stones to Liu Wenbo, who was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t know how to receive them.
It’s normal for disciples to work for their master without receiving any rewards.
However, over the years, all three disciples had gotten to know Chen Mobai’s character. After some hesitation, Liu Wenbo accepted the gift excitedly.
Although he also came from a wealthy family, a thousand Spirit Stones were no small amount to them.
“Thank you, Master. Oh, by the way, the manager of Sky Meal Building has contacted me. He wants to reach a cooperative agreement on Spiritual Wine supply with our South Mountain Shop.”
In his excitement, Liu Wenbo didn’t forget about another matter. The main products in the South Mountain Shop are talisman papers, spirit rice, and spiritual wine.
Among these, talisman papers sell the best, but the unique spiritual wine and spirit rice also have many cultivator admirers.
Sometimes, a loose cultivator would bring the spiritual wine from the South Mountain Shop to dine at the Sky Meal Building, and after multiple occasions, an appreciative manager noticed and contacted Liu Wenbo. After tasting all the spiritual wines, the manager found them to be very good and proposed a cooperation intention to Liu Wenbo.
“Save some for your master, and discuss the rest of the stock with Zhuo Ming. See what price is suitable.”
If there are Spirit Stones to be earned, he certainly won’t refuse.
“Master, Sky Meal Building requests exclusive distribution. In other words, if we reach an agreement with them, we wouldn’t be able to sell wine anymore.”
Liu Wenbo said something that stunned Chen Mobai, before he sneered slightly and said one sentence.
“Reject them.”
