Chapter 16: big gains, mad gains

In any world, the importance of money is self-evident. 

Ignoring the purchase of weapons and martial skills, daily necessities also needed money to buy. 

The Ironbone Unyielding Sect did not have money because the previous disciples had taken the assets, sending them to various other powers in an effort to free Sect Head Wang from prison. 

The result?

Not long after the money had been sent out, Sect Head Wang tried to escape from prison and was beheaded. 

The Ironbone Sect, which had already been tightening its belt to stay living, was even worse off. It could be said that they hit one misfortune after another. 

Two disciples could not handle it anymore, had their last meal together, then went back to their respective homes in search of their mothers. 

The transmigrated Jun Changxiao had been eating plain steamed buns for all three meals and drinking spring water. 

The noodles that Lu Qianqian ate when she first joined the sect were given by Aunt Wang from the village. 

The Ironbone Unyielding Sect had to develop, but they also had to earn money!

Thus, Sect Head Juns use of the Insight Talisman was doubly effective, starting his path of money-making in this new world!

Someone who did not ridicule me wanted pointers?

100 taels!

Someone who whole-heartedly ridiculed me and the Ironbone Sect wanted pointers?

200 taels!

This is just a small business, all negotiations declined. 

Because he had comprehended the Nine Moves Layered Waves Swords ninth movement and had directed the Azure Mountain Sects elder, although the various martial artists felt some loss, they were still willing to spend money for advice.

In a short 30 minutes, Jun Changxiao had directed 20 puzzled martial artists back onto the Martial Way and earned more than 3000 taels. 

Looking at the banknotes piling up in his storage ring, he secretly thought, Although I cannot sell medicine, but I can still make money using the systems goods!

Sect Head Jun.

Just as he finished directing a martial artist on his fist arts inefficiency, Patriarch Li walked over. With some difficulty, he said, This Li also has a difficult problem and hopes that you can give some pointers.

The matter with the Nine Moves Layered Waves Sword was just to cause trouble. 

Now that he saw so many people obtain benefits and leave happily, he felt a bit moved and wished to solve his own problems on the Martial Way. 

Okay. Jun Changxiao said, 1000 taels.

What? Patriarch Li froze on the spot, exclaiming, 1000 taels?

Jun Changxiao confirmed, Correct, 1000 taels.

The crowd grimaced. 

This guy was obviously intentionally embarrassing Patriarch Li. It was definitely because he had obstructed his son from joining the Ironbone Sect a moment ago too. 

Sect Head Jun, Patriarch Li was taken aback. Others only need 200 taels, why do I need 1000 taels?

Jun Changxiao said, Looking Patriarch Li’s status, you should not be short of money.

Hearing these words, Patriarch Li almost fainted. Youre right, I have money, but money doesnt grow on trees! [1]

Sect Head Jun, Patriarch Lis voice had gotten deeper. Are you taking this Li as a fool?

Jun Changxiao replied with a smile, It can be understood that way.

You

Patriarch Li was angered. 

But thinking that he still needed help from this person, he forcefully suppressed his fury. 

Sect Head.

Li Qingyang walked forward and said, In consideration of this disciple, please give a discount to my father.

Jun Changxiao tapped his chin, making an expression of deep thought. Alright. Considering that you are the father of my disciple, I will give you a discounted price of 1 tael.

The various martial artists almost collapsed. 

1000 taels was discounted to 1 tael that was unprecedented!

Since he wanted to keep Li Qingyang, he would definitely not intentionally embarrass Patriarch Li. Therefore, Jun Changxiao symbolically gave him a price of 1 tael and helped him with his cultivation problems. 

So thats how it is, so thats how it is!

Patriarch Li seemed to have been suddenly enlightened. 

Previously, he had always been wary of using the ninth move. Now, his puzzle of many years was thoroughly resolved by Jun Changxiao!

In the Ironbone Sect, if my son is taught by him, his future achievement will only be extraordinary!

Not only Patriarch Li, but all the other martial artists watching, also obtained benefits from some simple pointers and realized that they had seriously underestimated the young man!

With the Insight Talisman, Jun Changxiao earned many taels of silver and earned some prestige it could be considered as killing two birds with one stone. 

Wrong. 

It was actually killing three birds with one stone!

Because while the great Sect Head Jun was helping direct their cultivation, he was conveniently able to steal learn their various skills and techniques!

Although they were all low-tiered, there were sword techniques, fist arts, core techniques; if he wanted to use money to buy a little of everything, he would at least have to spend several thousand taels. 

Big gains, mad gains!

Everyone.

After talking with some more martial artists, Jun Changxiao looked weary as he said, This lord is tired, the directing will stop here.

No, Sect Head Jun!

The martial artists standing in line suddenly became anxious. 

One man pulled out four bank notes and called out, Sect Head Jun, I am willing to give 400 taels!

Jun Changxiao shook his head. Helping everyone direct their martial path has consumed too much of this lords mind. It seems that even training will be difficult for a fortnight.

He wanted to continue making money, but after finishing with the last martial artist, the Insight Talismans effectiveness had ended. 

Originally, Jun Changxiao planned to exchange for another one. But when he pulled open the store, he saw that the Insight Talisman had turned a dark grey. The explanation was: [This item is limited to 1 purchase per month.]

Motherfucker. 

The healing pill is limited, this talisman is also limited. 

How am I supposed to live happily? How am I supposed to happily make money?

Without the Insight Talisman, Jun Changxiao had reverted back to his original form and could therefore only display tiredness. 

Ah.

The various martial artists returned home with depressed faces and the originally interrupted Hundred Sects Recruitment continued. 

Qingyang.

Patriarch Li said, Follow Sect Head Jun to practice well, do not make your father disappointed.

En.

Li Qingyang nodded. 

Patriarch Li said some words of flattery to Jun Changxiao then left, hurting back to the Li Family and entering closed-door cultivation for information digestion. 

Father, I must join the Ironbone Sect!

Father, mother, I think I should join the Ironbone Sect!

Son of a bitch, what are you hesitating for? Lets go, we have to hurry and register for the Ironbone Sect!

The Hundred Sects Recruitment continued. The young boys and girls who had originally been considering other sects flooded towards the Ironbone Sects stand, rushing to be the first!

When Li Qingyang joined the Ironbone Sect, they had already been moved. Later, they witnessed Jun Changxiao give pointers to the Azure Mountain Sect elder, as well as the other martial artists of course they were going to register!

The various sect stalls that had been extremely busy a moment ago, while the Ironbone Sect had been ignored. 

Now, there was no one in front of those stalls, while the Ironbone Sect was the star of the show!

Do not push, do not push!

Jun Changxiao shouted, One by one!

Qingyang! Dont stand there stupidly, quickly come and help.

Since there were too many people trying to register, Jun Changxiao was immediately thrown into confusion. 

Not good, not good!

There are too many people, I must choose according to qualification!

Jun Changxiao assigned his senior disciple and second disciple to filling out the entrance forms, from which he would make the final decision based on aptitude and cultivation base. 

The main mission the system gave was to make the Ironbone Unyielding Sect the most powerful sect. 

How to be powerful?

The sect had to be powerful, the disciples strong!

If he accepted a group of worthless people just to casually fill up the member limit, the strength of the sect would be insufficient. If the sect could not upgrade, then all of his work would be in vain. 

Jun Changxiao clearly understood that what he needed was the cream of the crop. Therefore he requested that all those trying to join the Ironbone Sect had to at least be a mid-grade spirit root; a high-grade spirit root was even better!

However, statistically, of the several hundred youths trying to register, only about ten or so would have mid-grade aptitude. All others would either be ordinary or low-grade; a high-grade spirit root was impossible. 

Although Qingyang City was Qingyang Commanderys main city, it was still a small place. That it had someone with a high-grade spirit root like Li Qingyang was already pretty good. 

Not so great, but Ill just bring the sect membership up to 100 first.

Jun Changxiao picked up the sect heads seal and stamped it down on a mid-grade aptitudes form. 

[Ding!]

[Sect Member: 4/100.]

[Ding!]

[Sect Contribution: 11/100.]
