Chapter 1223: Chapter 719 Xie Ling_3 There are Si Nan for scouting, Spiritual Mirrors for unveiling hidden things, armor for defending against spells, swords, and hand-to-hand combat, as well as weapons causing armor-breaking, bleeding, and carrying Magic Damage of the Five Elements. For these demands, Mo Hua also designed individual Refinement Array Maps according to the Formation, and with Master Gu’s refining, turned them into finished Spiritual Artifacts. But following this, a problem arose. Mo Hua was overwhelmed with work. Designing Refinement Array Maps was manageable, after all it was related to Formation, and Mo Hua learned from it. But trivial matters, especially selling spiritual tools, pricing, accounting, and delivering goods were really a waste of time. He pondered for a while and came up with a solution. During his day off, Mo Hua went to find Master Gu and asked: "Master Gu, does the Gu Family have stores, Market Towns or storefronts in Tai Xu City?" Master Gu was taken aback, surprised: "Does the young master mean..." Mo Hua said: "The customized spiritual tools, just take them all to the store for sale, you figure out the profits." While earning Spirit Stones is a good thing, he has more important things to do now. And these Spirit Stones, he intended to subsidize Master Gu and the others with them. Especially those impoverished Artifact Refiners at the Gushan Refining Workshop. For Mo Hua himself, practicing the Formation’s application in real situations, unifying knowledge with action, and deepening the understanding of Formation, that sufficed. He personally wasn’t interested in earning too many Spirit Stones in this aspect. The reason he did not seek Wenren Wan is because Mo Hua knew that Aunt Wan had her own difficulties and such trivial matters weren’t worth bothering her with. Master Gu’s heart trembled slightly, and he immediately said: "I will go inquire." Although he is a Golden Core of the Gu Family and oversees the Refinery Shop, he is not particularly familiar with the specifics of its operations. But he also knows that this might really be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Master Gu used some of his network to find out the specific situation and then told Mo Hua: "In Tai Xu City near Taixu Gate, the Gu Family’s properties are not many, only a store. This store makes modest profits, so it sells a bit of everything such as Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, and Formation items to earn whatever it can." "I have some network within the clan, so I arranged to have the customized Spiritual Artifacts sold at our store." "The store will take a ten percent cut of the Spirit Stones earned." Mo Hua nodded. But in reality, he didn’t understand much about these business matters. He just left it to Master Gu to handle. That’s probably how the matter was settled. And even though Mo Hua didn’t say anything, Wenren Wan still found out. In the area around Qianxue State Boundary, most of the Tao Cultivation enterprises that the Gu Family and Wenren Family cooperated on were overseen by Wenren Wan. Previously, there were also some Refinery Shops and stores from Shangguan Family. But those had been taken back by the Shangguan Family and sublet to the Shen Family. This was a decision made by Shang Che, and Wenren Wan could do nothing about it. However, apart from that, some of the Tao Cultivation enterprises between the Wenren Family and the Gu Family were still under Wenren Wan’s control. When Master Gu inquired about the store within the Gu Family clan, the rustlings couldn’t escape her notice. Even the ability of Master Gu to use his network and arrange for the sale of customized Spiritual Artifacts at the store was with the nod of Wenren Wan’s head. Wenren Wan agreed to it purely for Mo Hua’s sake. Otherwise, in a place like Tai Xu City, which adjoins a Great Sect, just the cost of renting the store would be incredibly expensive. This cost might not even be affordable for Master Gu. The decision on the commission was also made by Wenren Wan. This commission was set aside for Mo Hua by her. Wenren Wan was concerned about Mo Hua being taken advantage of when doing business with Master Gu, so she directly took a ten percent cut from the store, thinking that if the Spiritual Artifacts didn’t sell and the business failed, at least she retained some Spirit Stones for Mo Hua to prevent total loss. Thus the matter was settled, and afterwards, all customized Spiritual Artifacts were sold at the Gu Family store. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 Mo Hua acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, completely at ease. And as the number of fellow disciples he "advised" increased, so did the number of people buying Spiritual Artifacts, and his network among Taixu disciples grew as well. Mo Hua’s network within Taixu Gate also continued to expand. From the Grand Ancestors of the Taixu Gate down to the lecturing Elders, then to the higher-level Junior Brothers and Sisters, and finally to his fellow Disciples, Mo Hua knew them all. Especially among his fellow disciples, Mo Hua had considerable prestige. When in doubt, everyone would ask Junior Brother. It almost became a custom. And in the dining hall, more and more disciples "bowed at the hall entrance" to him. ...the chicken legs in the dining hall were almost sold out...
