The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

"Son, what do you think about your dad starting a business too?"

Seeing the expectant look on Little Old Deng's face, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Hey Lao Deng, you're not short of spirit stones, are you? Why are you suddenly thinking about starting a business?"

You should know that Lu Yuange just came down from the place where he cleared out the rampaging monsters. Although it was a sect mission, it still gave him spirit stones as usual. He now has at least 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones, but doing business only gives you a few spirit stones. It's better to just cultivate directly!

However, Old Deng was displeased upon hearing this.

"Hey kid, I don't need any spirit stones, but once I'm healed, your mother, that tigress, will definitely find all sorts of excuses to take them away!"

"I'm just preparing in advance, so I'll have some pocket money, right?"

Hearing Old Deng's pitiful words, he almost burst out laughing.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Tens of thousands of spirit stones are a lot, but Lao Deng is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and pills at this stage are much more expensive than those at the Qi Refining stage.

The worst Foundation Establishment pills cost one or two hundred low-grade spirit stones, slightly better ones cost five or six hundred, and the best ones can even reach one or two thousand per pill.

These tens of thousands of spirit stones will be all swindled away by my mom in no time!

"Well, what kind of business are you interested in?"

There are many new people starting businesses these days, but most of them are still in the snack food business. Although this kind of business is good, it doesn't make money.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the old man couldn't help but rub his hands together.

"Hehehe, that's why I came to discuss it with you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng leaned back, looking at Lu Yuange with a shocked expression, before launching into a frenzied rant.

"Hey Old Deng, you haven't even thought about what kind of business you want to do, so how did you even bring this up?"

"I don't care! Figure it out yourself!"

Although Lu Changfeng had long wanted Lao Deng to do business, if it was too easy, Lao Deng would lose interest once his enthusiasm faded, and he would bother him again if it happened again.

So let's tease him first!

As expected, Old Deng immediately became anxious upon hearing Lu Changfeng's refusal.

"Hey, you brat, I'm your father! How can you refuse me like that?"

However, upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng nodded firmly.

"Of course I'd be happy to oblige! Besides, who can guarantee you won't just be a flash in the pan!"

"What if the business gets bigger and bigger, and you don't want to continue? You'll just end up leaving it to me anyway!"

"I don't care!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuange immediately noticed the flaw in the explanation.

"You little brat, so if I can keep doing this, you'll come up with a business idea for me?"

Seeing that Lao Deng had finally taken the bait, Lu Changfeng was overjoyed inside, but on the surface he still pretended to be indifferent.

"More or less!"

Lu Yuange smiled and immediately patted his chest to assure him.

"Don't worry, kid, this time I definitely won't be a flash in the pan!"

"Besides, I wasn't just playing around this time. The main reason is that your mom will find out about my injury sooner or later, and then she definitely won't want me going out anymore!"

"If I had a job, I could go out and have fun whenever I wanted, and it wouldn't be dangerous. Your mom definitely wouldn't object!"

Only at this moment did Lu Changfeng nod in satisfaction.

"Okay, it's settled then. If you lose interest after just three minutes, don't come looking for me again!"

"From now on, I'll pretend I don't have a father like you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuange's lips twitched. Goodness, why does this sound a little awkward?

Fortunately, it's not a big deal!

"No problem, kid, you can talk now!"

Seeing this, he then revealed the business plan he had already come up with.

"Hehehe, Old Deng, what's the point of running a small business? How about we go for something bigger!"

"Do you remember the spell I used to transport those new recruits with spiritual roots?"

"There are now over a million ordinary people coming into the sect. Not only will it take them a very long time to get to the Heavenly Star Sect, but their bodies also can't handle it!"

"And right now, there's a train that runs from the Azure Dragon Gate to the Heavenly Star Sect, and you can ride it for just a small amount of spirit stones. What do you think of this business opportunity?"

"If you agree, I'll perform the Fuxing bullet train for you every morning, so you can do business!"

If you were to ask what the easiest business to run in the world is, the transportation industry would undoubtedly be one of them.

Before time travel, starting this kind of business would require a lot of resources: trains, airplanes, tracks, airports, etc., all of which would require a huge amount of time, manpower, and materials to build.

But in the world of cultivation, a single spell can solve everything.

Most importantly, this spell can only be cast by the user; even if others want to imitate it, they cannot understand the true principle behind it.

It would be even better if they wanted to steal business with something like a flying boat.

Flying boats use spirit stones and require human operation, while the Fuxing-class aircraft carrier only needs spiritual energy. The energy consumption of the two is on a completely different level.

As expected, Lu Yuange's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Wow, if that's really the case, this business is quite substantial!"

"If each person is paid ten taels of gold per trip, wouldn't that be 40 spirit stones per trip? If you make three round trips a day, that's 240 spirit stones."

"Damn, this is making a fortune!"

"Okay, that's settled then, but could you teach me this spell?"

However, Lu Changfeng shook his head.

"Old Deng, what did you think of that little motorcycle trick you did earlier?"

Since he handed over the Little Motorcycle Technique to the sect, many people have learned it, but most of them only use it for their own purposes. To reach the level of Lu Changfeng, one needs to achieve mastery.

"Yes, it's easy to get started, but it's difficult to reach a level where others can use it!"

Lu Changfeng shrugged

"That's right, my situation with the Fuxing bullet train is a hundred times more difficult than this spell!"

"Furthermore, your spiritual power is far too weak; it doesn't even meet the basic requirements for using the Fuxing bullet train!"

Lu Yuange didn't pay much attention to what he heard.

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll go promote it now!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room to start tinkering.

Lu Changfeng shook his head at this and began to ponder.

At first, I was indeed able to use this method to operate the Fuxing bullet train for Lao Deng, but once this business grew, it would be too troublesome if I was the only one operating it.

It would be great if we had divine abilities like those in West Ring World.

I'll authorize Old Deng to use the skills myself. That way, not only will the problem be solved, but I won't have to worry about the magic being leaked.

The cultivation world will have no shortage of resources in the future; the only rare thing will be knowledge. Clearly, one's own techniques are an invaluable treasure.

Ah!

Ok?

Holy crap, the gift pack has been refreshed! Could it be the one I was thinking of?

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to open the new gift pack.
