My Master Knows It All

In this way, there is a great advantage.

That is, big data can be collected!

Of course, this also raises the requirements for crafting talismans.

Originally, Ling Xi thought that she could meet her master’s requirements in a year, but after her master mentioned big data, it took her ten years to develop the first batch of talismans.

Once the talismans are developed, crafting them becomes much simpler.

The number of disciples in the Hundred Peaks Sect is no longer as limited as before. These talismans, as long as one understands the crafting methods, are not difficult to make.

Although their Sect Leader Cao Zhen is most famous for alchemy, most disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect specialize in talisman making.

Back when it was still the Hundred Peaks Sect and Cao Zhen was merely the Peak Master of the Four Treasures Peak, he collaborated with various academies to have the boys craft talismans and then sell them.

Later on, they even began selling talismans to other sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty. After so many years, their talismans have formed a complete industrial chain.

Especially with the Pinbao Business Association, they can sell however many talismans they craft.

In short, the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect are adept at talisman making, and after Ling Xi taught them how to craft talismans, they quickly mastered the technique.

However, even so, they need to craft a large quantity of talismans, and they also need to transport these talismans to various Rare Treasures Commerce Association shops.

Thus, it requires time as well.

Unknowingly, another ten years have passed.

Eastern Province, Flying Rainbow City.

This city is one of the largest and most significant in the entire Eastern Province. This city does not belong to any Great Teaching; Flying Rainbow City is somewhat like Wansheng City, governed by the City Lord of the Immortality Realm, but unlike Wansheng City, Flying Rainbow City almost has no ordinary people. Almost all activities within the city are carried out by cultivators.

Various commercial firms have also set up shops in Flying Rainbow City. Previously, the largest corporation in Flying Rainbow City was the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, but later, due to a conflict with Cao Zhen, followed by the presence of six major alien races now in the Central Continent, which led to the downfall of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association there, its influence in the Eastern Province has waned significantly.

Currently, the largest businesses in Flying Rainbow City are the Pinbao Business Association, the Sunny Rain Business Guild, and the Prosperous Trading Company. Both the Sunny Rain Business Guild and the Prosperous Trading Company have been established for thousands of years.

The Pinbao Business Association, however, was established less than five hundred years ago and has grown to rival these two business guilds, which is extraordinarily impressive.

This is mainly because, after the end of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, Cao Zhen executed some brilliant maneuvers, and Yi Sheng occasionally crafted valuable pills to sell at Pinbao Business Association.

Also, the talismans and various treasures they obtained have propelled the growth of the Pinbao Business Association to its current state.

At one point, the Pinbao Business Association even surpassed the Sunny Rain Business Guild and the Prosperous Trading Company, but as the Heavenly Dao no longer restricts the world’s powers, and with all cultivators awakening, the Sunny Rain Business Guild and the Prosperous Trading Company have fully revealed their profound reserves.

The Pinbao Business Association mainly relied on Cao Zhen, but since Cao Zhen is not in the True Immortal Realm and is not the top combat power, the treasures he can obtain are limited. Ultimately, he cannot compete with those two large business guilds alone.

Regarding the modern business models of the Pinbao Business Association, both the Sunny Rain Business Guild and the Prosperous Trading Company are not foolish. Upon discovering that the membership cards and group buying schemes of the Pinbao Business Association were highly effective, they naturally adopted these strategies for themselves.

Therefore, the only possible advantage that the Pinbao Business Association may have over these two major business guilds now is the occasional sale of special pills.

But the quantity of these pills is limited, considering that Yi Sheng also needs to cultivate and cannot continuously craft pills.

Of course, with their previous accumulations, the Pinbao Business Association still has a foothold among the major business guilds in the Eastern Province today.

Due to the invasion of the six major alien races, many Central Continent cultivators have come to the Eastern Province, increasing the number of cultivators there. At the same time, various forces, feeling the pressure from the six major alien races, have also opened up resources, providing ample resources to their disciples, along with the opening of the Outer Heaven Battlefield, making the current cultivation market more thriving than ever.

The entrance of the Pinbao Business Association is bustling with cultivators coming and going.

Ren Xiaoyao, along with his friend Huan You and junior sister Zhi Nuo, headed towards the Pinbao Business Association store. As they walked, Zhi Nuo softly complained, ”Senior brother, you’re really strange. You obviously like Immortal Bi Yue—no, she should now be called Venerable Bi Yue. Cao Zhen is your rival in love.

Yet you still come to buy things at the Pinbao Business Association. Don’t you know that it is Cao Zhen’s business? Aren’t you supporting your rival?”

Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao’s expression changed suddenly, and he said solemnly, ”Junior sister, don’t speak recklessly; disaster breeds from the mouth. Sect Leader Cao is not someone we can casually discuss.”

”He...” Zhi Nuo was about to retort when Huan You, who although not one to completely obey her yet indulged her greatly, quickly transmitted his voice, ”Zhi Nuo, you might not know because you haven’t been to the Outer Heaven Battlefield. Though I haven’t been there either, I’ve heard many masters say that Sect Leader Cao did something significant on the Outer Heaven Battlefield. Because of Sect Leader Cao, now the major alien races don’t dare target us humans too directly in the Immortality Regainment Realm’s Outer Heaven Battlefield.
