Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Ye Yuting was surprised because the man in front of her was completely different from the Chen Feng she had met before.

Chen Feng was a burly, rugged man back then, but the man in front of him had a gentle and refined demeanor.

Chen Feng, standing on the teleportation array, glanced at Ye Yuting and Xu Heng, then smiled and said:

"It's been a long time. You two fellow Daoists are still as dashing as ever."

After the teleportation array was connected, Chen Feng personally took it over.

Besides delivering weapons and equipment, he also wanted to see what other cultivation stars were like.

Xu Heng smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist Tuo, I didn't expect you to have changed your appearance back then. Your methods are truly admirable."

Ye Yuting, who was standing next to him, was also sizing up Chen Feng.

When the two were in the Void Realm, they didn't realize that Chen Feng had changed his appearance.

"The circumstances were special at the time, so I had to hide my true appearance," Chen Feng explained.

Xu Heng said, "Fellow Daoist Tuo, this is not the place we agreed on. Let's go back to the market town first."

Chen Feng nodded, and then followed Ye Yuting and the other person away from the bottom of the lake.

Once on the lake, Chen Feng spread his divine sense to investigate.

The environment here is not much different from what he experienced on Canglan Star.

The plants and animals do not grow in strange shapes.

Xu Heng said to Chen Feng, "Fellow Daoist, this is a remote area. Once you go to the market, you will understand the characteristics of our Xuanxiao Star."

Chen Feng nodded: "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to introduce me to someone then."

The three of them then transformed into streaks of light and headed towards Qingling Mountain Market.

Upon arriving at Qingling Mountain, Chen Feng immediately discovered that the spiritual energy here was far more abundant than that on Canglan Star.

“There are three top-grade spiritual veins here, each controlled by a different Nascent Soul level power. The reason we chose to open our business here is because this place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and cultivators from all major powers come to Qingling Mountain.”

Xu Heng introduced himself to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng nodded. He had heard Xu Heng talk about the general situation of Xuanxiao Star before.

On Canglan Star, forces at the Nascent Soul level are already considered top-tier.

However, on Xuanxiao Star, while the forces at the Nascent Soul level are also very powerful, they are not the most elite.

Because there is a Void Refining Old Monster in Xuanxiao Star.

Only the forces possessing the power of the Void Refining Old Monster are the strongest forces.

For example, the sect that Xu Heng and the other person originally belonged to was a power at the Void Refinement level.

After Xu Heng helped Chen Feng pay some spirit stones, he led Chen Feng into the market.

Upon entering the market, Chen Feng saw a large group of cultivators walking on the streets.

These cultivators ranged in cultivation level from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul stage, and were almost everywhere.

Chen Feng had only walked for ten minutes on the streets of the market when he encountered at least seven Nascent Soul level cultivators.

Nascent Soul cultivators are top-tier experts on Canglan Star.

But here, they are everywhere.

This left Chen Feng speechless.

Nascent Soul cultivators are practically everywhere, like dogs roaming the ground.

"Fellow Daoist, are you planning to browse around first, or go to our shop first?" Ye Yuting asked.

Chen Feng said:

"Let's go to the shop first. I still have things to do there and can't stay here too long."

Chen Feng only came to take a look and did not plan to stay for too long.

“Alright, then come with us to that teleportation array over there. It will take you directly to the easternmost part of the market.” Ye Yuting said, pointing in a direction.

Chen Feng looked surprised: "There's a teleportation array inside this market?"

Xu Heng explained with a smile:

"Qingling Mountain Market is jointly run by three major forces. They strictly prohibit cultivators from flying within the market, and even the use of spiritual power is restricted."

"In order to save cultivators time, teleportation arrays have been built in various parts of the market. If you want to go to any area, you can go directly there by teleportation array."

Chen Feng nodded and said nothing more.

But from this, he could also see that the resources of Xuanxiao Star were far superior to those of Canglan Star.

At the very least, it's impossible for the markets on Canglan Star to establish teleportation arrays for cultivators within their premises.

Using the teleportation array, the three arrived at the easternmost part of the market.

The signboard of the Yuting Chamber of Commerce also caught Chen Feng's eye.

There were only a few scattered cultivators on the streets, and none of them were very powerful.

Ye Yuting said, "The outer areas of the market are for cultivators below the Golden Core stage."

Ye Yuting was naturally embarrassed to say that they didn't have enough spirit stones to rent a better shop.

Even the Qingling Mountain Market, which sells items for low-level cultivators, is divided into sections, with the eastern section being the worst.

Chen Feng nodded:

"The location of the store is not important. As long as you have good products, people will come to you on their own. Good wine needs no bush."

"Good wine needs no bush" is a proverb used to describe a good friend.

Xu Heng gave a compliment.

Chen Feng then followed the two into the shop.

The shop has two floors, and although it is in a remote location, the space is quite large.

On the first floor of the shop, there were a dozen or so maids, who sat idly in front of the counter.

As for the shelves in the shop, there were only some talismans and pills used by low-level cultivators, and the quantity was very small.

Upon seeing Chen Feng and his two companions enter, the maids immediately stood up and bowed.

Xu Heng ignored the maids and led Chen Feng to the second floor of the shop.

Upon reaching the second floor, Xu Heng eagerly asked, "Fellow Daoist, did you bring those weapons?"

The shop is now just waiting for Chen Feng's weapon to open for business.

It's impossible to compete with other shops by selling pills and talismans.

Chen Feng then placed the two storage rings on the table: "Take a look."

Upon hearing this, Xu Heng and Ye Yuting immediately took the storage ring and began to examine it.

Inside the storage ring were nearly 200,000 rifles and tens of millions of bullets.

In addition to these, there were also more than 30,000 hand grenades.

Xu Heng and Ye Yuting were stunned by the sheer amount of equipment.

They had expected Chen Feng to send a lot of equipment this time, but they never imagined there would be so much.

Two hundred thousand rifles—such a huge quantity—they're now doubting whether they can sell them all.

"Fellow Daoist...so many." Xu Heng said in astonishment as he looked at Chen Feng.

"Is that a lot? I feel it's still a bit too little." In Chen Feng's opinion, this equipment was already quite scarce, as long as the market here could be opened up.

These items will probably sell out very soon.

Xu Heng swallowed hard: "Let's put these guns on the counter and sell them today!"

Chen Feng shook his head upon hearing this: "Your method won't work. Every product needs advertising."

Xu Heng and Ye Yuting were both somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Xu Heng clasped his hands in a fist and said:
"Please enlighten us, fellow Daoist." Neither of them had ever run a merchant guild before, so they naturally had little experience.

Chen Feng specializes in selling these kinds of weapons, so he must know a lot about this kind of thing.

They also wanted to learn some experience from Chen Feng.

Chen Feng glanced at the two of them and immediately said:
"Take out a few hundred guns and some bullets and give them to some low-level cultivators, preferably those who are going to explore ruins or who often fight with others."

Xu Heng and Ye Yuting exchanged a glance, and Ye Yuting said in a sweet voice:
"Fellow Daoist Tuo, isn't it a bit wasteful to send away hundreds of guns at once!"

Ye Yuting knew the power of these guns; hundreds of shots would cost a considerable amount of spirit stones.

Chen Feng shook his head:

"This is a necessary advertising fee. Just do as I say, and I guarantee the shop's business will improve within half a month."

In the modern world, some new products are often given away to customers for free when they first appear.

Because no matter how much you advertise and boast, it's far less effective than the customer's own promotion.

This is why many merchants on shopping platforms offer cashback rewards to customers who leave positive reviews.

This business model, even with slight modifications, can still be used in the world of Scroll Painting.

“Alright, then I’ll listen to Fellow Daoist Tuo!” Xu Heng agreed immediately, even though he didn’t understand what advertising fees were.

But since Chen Feng has offered this solution, it's worth giving it a try.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, Xu Heng said:

"Fellow Daoist Tuo, what is the cost price of this batch of weapons?"

Upon hearing the mention of spirit stones, Ye Yuting, who was standing next to her, also became nervous.

They don't have any money to give Chen Feng right now, so they can only buy on credit.

Although Chen Feng had already agreed to the credit terms.

But it was still a little awkward for them to bring it up themselves.

Chen Feng looked at the two of them and said, "I have a suggestion for you to consider."

Xu Heng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tuo, please speak freely."

"I'm planning to cooperate with you. From now on, you won't need to pay me spirit stones for these firearms. I'll cover the costs. You can help me sell them, and I'll give you 30% of the profits. How about that?"

Chen Feng naturally wanted to earn more from this interstellar trade.

Having Xu Heng and Ye Yuting act as his agents is undoubtedly the best option.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's suggestion, both Xu Heng and Ye Yuting showed surprise.

The two of them weren't fools; they naturally understood what Chen Feng meant.

Xu Heng only thought for a moment before saying directly, "Fellow Daoist Tuo, I agree to your suggestion!"

For Xu Heng, Chen Feng's method was very suitable for them.

Although they only receive 30% of the profits, they face virtually no risk.

Even if these guns don't sell in the end, they won't be the ones who lose money.

Because Chen Feng took on all the risks.

Chen Feng nodded, then looked at Ye Yuting: "Fellow Daoist Ye, what are your thoughts?"

Ye Yuting smiled slightly: "Of course I have no objections, I will listen to Fellow Daoist Tuo in everything."

Seeing that the two agreed, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile.

The three then began to discuss the future operation of the chamber of commerce.

Chen Feng offered many suggestions on business management, which Xu Heng and Ye Yuting listened to with great interest.

Chen Feng's suggestions were all based on modern business models.

Ye Yuting and Xu Heng had never encountered this business model before, and listening to Chen Feng's explanation was like discovering a new continent for them.

The conversation lasted for about an hour before it ended.

Chen Feng stood up and said, "Let's stop here for now."

Xu Heng and Ye Yuting also stood up at the same time, but they were clearly still not recovered from the conversation they had just had.

Chen Feng then asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, how's it going with the matter of spatial materials that I asked you to inquire about last time?"

Hearing Chen Feng's question, Ye Yuting also came to her senses and said:
“I have indeed found out some information. In addition to the two space materials, space stone and void crystal tunnel, there is also a special space material called void sand on our Xuanxiao Star.”

"Void Sand?" Chen Feng immediately became interested.

Ye Yuting explained:
"Yes, this Void Sand is a very rare spatial material. It is usually used to build independent spaces, and only some powerful forces use it."

"The birth of this thing is also very peculiar. It is a material produced by the fusion of some space fragments and void storms in the star field."

"Because it is essentially a fragment of space, the spatial laws contained within it are higher than those of other materials."

Ye Yuting took the matters Chen Feng had entrusted to her very seriously.

She had been inquiring about this for a long time.

After hearing Ye Yuting's introduction, Chen Feng's eyes lit up: "Where can I buy this?"

Now that he was on Xuanxiao Star, Chen Feng naturally planned to buy some materials to take back with him.

In particular, space-related materials are key to confining antimatter.

“Void Sand is extremely rare. In the market of Qingling Mountain, it’s probably only available in shops run by the Blood River Sect,” Ye Yuting replied.

"Let's go ask." Chen Feng didn't want to waste any time.

Xu Heng looked at Ye Yuting and said, "Junior Sister, you go with Fellow Daoist Tuo. I'll stay here to arrange things at the shop."

Ye Yuting nodded: "Okay."

Chen Feng then followed Ye Yuting out of the shop and headed towards the center of the market.

According to Ye Yuting's introduction, the shop opened by the Blood River Sect is one of the three largest shops in Qingling Mountain Market.

The Blood River Sect is not only one of the three top forces in Qingling Mountain, but also a demonic force.

"Demonic forces? You have demonic cultivators on Xuanxiao Star?" Chen Feng asked Ye Yuting in surprise.

When Chen Feng thought of demonic cultivators, he naturally thought of the one in Sunset Valley.

The current state of Canglan Star is caused by this demonic cultivator.

"Of course there are. Our Xuanxiao Star is divided into the righteous and the demonic paths. A hundred years ago, a great war broke out between the two, and many people died at that time."

When Ye Yuting talked about the war between good and evil, her expression became very solemn.

"As far as I know, demonic cultivators appeared during the great war with the outer realms. Could it be that the demonic cultivators here are related to the demonic cultivators from the outer realms?" Chen Feng asked indirectly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuting immediately smiled and said:

“Fellow Daoist Tuo, you’re talking about the extraterrestrial demonic cultivators who were sealed away many years ago, right? The demonic cultivators of our Xuanxiao Star are different from those demonic cultivators. Those extraterrestrial demonic cultivators cultivate demonic energy, while the demonic cultivators of our Xuanxiao Star still cultivate spiritual energy.”

"However, because their cultivation methods are ruthless and they like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, they are called demonic cultivators."

After listening to Ye Yuting's explanation, Chen Feng understood.

The demonic cultivators of Xuanxiao Star are essentially ordinary cultivators; they are only labeled as demonic because they act without restraint.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts." Chen Feng thanked Ye Yuting.

"Fellow Daoist Tuo, there's no need for you to stand on ceremony with me, we've arrived!" Ye Yuting stopped in her tracks.

Before them stood a six-story pavilion.

There were also streaks of red spiritual light surrounding the two sides of the pavilion.

Two large characters, Blood River, floated in mid-air above the attic.

"This is the shop run by the Blood River Sect. Fellow Daoist, let's go in." (End of Chapter)
