Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 51 Chicken talking to duck
Song Xian's mind raced with thoughts. Why did he have to focus on the shop instead of producing a product that would be popular in the cultivation community?
Qi Xiaobai said that this spice was specially developed by him. If he could promote this spice to the entire cultivation world and make it a trend, would he still need to worry about spirit stones?
Various spices are not uncommon in the world and are also very cheap. You can buy a bunch of them with one spirit stone, but being cheap does not mean that something has no value.

If you can add brand value to it, add some publicity, and spread the word about an ordinary item, a cheap thing can be sold at the price of luxury goods.

For example, add the element of love to a beautiful stone.

Just like diamonds are forever, if one is passed down forever, it will attract countless people to buy it at a huge price.

Thinking of this, Song Xianteng sat up suddenly.

He could easily change the packaging of this spice and turn it into a product with added value. This would be a truly lucrative industry. Market shops and spiritual beast trading would pale in comparison to it.

Moreover, spices themselves are things that women like. Women are always blind when spending money because most of the money they spend is not their own.

Especially beautiful women, so any industry involving women is bound to generate huge profits.

Song Xian got out of bed, walked quickly to the front of the room, opened the door, and couldn't wait to find Qi Xiaobai to find out.

The sound of the door opening startled Lu Yuan. He opened his eyes dazedly and saw Song Xian was about to go out. He asked, "Master, it's so late, where are you going?"

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured down, instantly extinguishing the fire burning in Song Xian's heart. He looked at the stars in the sky and immediately calmed down.

Yes! It’s so late, the couple may have fallen asleep. Why go now? No matter how anxious you are, there’s no need to rush.

Moreover, this was just an immature idea that suddenly popped up in his mind. It was not easy to promote a worthless spice to the entire cultivation world and make it a luxury that everyone wanted to own.

"It's okay. The moonlight outside is bright and the scenery is beautiful. I'll go out and sit and enjoy the night view. You can go to sleep!"

After Song Xian finished speaking, he closed the door, walked to the courtyard, sat down on a stone bench, and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the moon is full and the stars are like rain.

Staring at the beautiful scenery, his mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to start with spices and gradually promote them into a luxury spice for the cultivation world.

He sat there for the entire night, until the next day when it was dawn. Lu Yuan opened the door and saw him still sitting in the outer room. He thought he had disturbed his sleep and made him unable to sleep, and he even felt guilty.

"Master, starting tomorrow, I'll move to the lobby so as not to disturb your rest."

"Brother Lu, don't worry about it. I can't sleep because of you. I'm thinking about a way out for the sect. I already have a general idea. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Lu Yuan was very moved when he heard him say this. He had seen everything Song Xian had done since the establishment of the Hunyuan Sect. Not only did he act appropriately and treat everyone equally without bias, he was also selfless. It could be said that he had tried his best to do everything he could.

Now, he is worried about the survival of the sect and can't sleep at night. He is anxious and tired. This is not a burden that a twenty-year-old boy should shoulder!

"Master, don't worry. No matter what happens to the sect, as long as you are still here, I, Lu Yuan, will never abandon the sect and will stick to it until the end, even if there is not a single spirit stone left." Lu Yuan said solemnly.

"Great! Senior Brother Lu, I'm very happy to hear you say that. Don't worry, I will never let our sect reach the point of despair. As long as everyone works together, I guarantee that the sect will thrive."

Song Xian showed no sign of frustration or worry, and spoke firmly. Although he had been sitting all night, he was not sleepy at all. Instead, he was in high spirits and felt full of energy.

Seeing his confident expression and the gleam in his eyes, Lu Yuan was also infected and nodded, "I will definitely do it."

"By the way, Senior Brother Lu, did you smell the fragrance of Junior Sister Carissa yesterday?"

"Ah?" Lu Yuan was immersed in the atmosphere of working together for the development of the sect and devoting all his efforts. He didn't expect Song Xian to suddenly change the subject, which caught him off guard and made him look puzzled.

"Didn't you smell it? When you came here yesterday with the new bedding, you weren't far from Carissa, but didn't you smell that special fragrance on her?"

Seeing Song Xian continue to ask questions in a serious manner, Lu Yuan felt it was a bit absurd. He was just swearing to make plans for the development of the sect, but how could he suddenly turn to the romantic affairs of men and women?

“There seems to be a fragrance.”

"Don't be so vague! Think carefully about it. Is it there? Or why not wait until Junior Sister Carissa wakes up, then go over to her and smell it."

"Master... what do you want to do?" Lu Yuan looked at him in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him. It was as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. Why was he so obsessed with the fragrance of a woman?

"This is very important. Junior Brother Zichen smelled it, and I smelled it too. If you didn't smell it, what does that mean?"

"Huh? Does that mean... my nose is bad?"

"Hey! That's not the case, Senior Brother Lu Yuan, did you really not smell it?"

"It seems so, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Master, what on earth are you going to do?"

"I have an idea. Didn't Junior Brother Qi say that he made the spices himself? In other words, this is our core technology, and we're the only ones on the market who have it. If we can promote the spices and sell them as a commodity, making them a trendy product that sweeps the entire cultivation world, wouldn't that make us a fortune?"

Lu Yuan stared at Song Xian in a daze, his eyes changing from astonishment to sympathy and worry. The pressure on the headmaster was too great, he was almost going crazy, and he actually came up with such a ridiculous thing.

He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have mentioned the sect's financial affairs last night. Putting the sect's survival on the shoulders of a young man was too much of a burden!

"Master, calm down for a moment." "Huh?"

Lu Yuan's expression was solemn. "Master, I know you've been under a lot of pressure these days, but the sect's survival and development are not just your business. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself."

Song Xian finally realized what was happening, feeling a bit amused and helpless: "Senior Brother Lu, I'm serious. My mind is very clear, and I've never been clearer than now."

"It's good that you're awake. You've been sitting here all night and you must be tired. Go get some sleep first! Or I'll make you some tea."

Song Xian shook his head helplessly: "Brother Lu, you don't think I'm crazy!"

"No, Master, maybe you are too tired. Go get some sleep! It will be fine after a good night's sleep."

"Brother Lu, do you think what I said is a fantasy?"

Seeing that he was so persistent, Lu Yuan felt a little reluctant, and was afraid that he would keep thinking about these things and gradually go crazy, so he tried to persuade him earnestly.

"Master, I understand how you feel, but we need to take it one step at a time. The plan you just mentioned is a little too... idealistic. That spice is just an ordinary thing. It's not some thousand-year-old elixir, a magic weapon, or an elixir—things that cultivators covet."

"That's something a woman applies on her body. It's not necessary for anyone else. There are countless spices on the market. You can buy a bunch of them with just a spirit stone."

"This thing won't fetch much, and it's not worth much. No one would spend a lot of money on such a useless thing. You're talking about promoting it as a trendy product that's all the rage in the cultivation world. That's impossible."

Song Xian smiled. He was not disappointed by Lu Yuan's denial, because this was what most normal people thought. It was because of this that he had a stage to develop.

The cultivation world on this continent has only been developed for 30,000 years.

Thirty thousand years ago, a Taoist scripture came out of nowhere, and people began to know the way of cultivation, thus opening up the world of cultivation.

During these 30,000 years, although the cultivation world had established a relatively complete order, most sects and forces were mainly fighting for territory and cultivation resources.

The six major skills in the cultivation world, elixirs, magic tools, formation flags, talismans, spiritual plants, and spiritual kitchens are all closely related to cultivation. Everyone dreams of becoming an immortal, ascending to the fairyland, and having an endless lifespan.

This is because this is an example clearly recorded in Taoist scriptures. There is no one who does not desire immortality. For this reason, the spiritual practice community has always been fighting and scrambling for it, while neglecting people's spiritual pursuits.

"Brother Lu, do you know? Oftentimes, people's pursuit of spiritual vanity far outweighs their pursuit of material things."

When Lu Yuan was wondering why he said such a thing without any reason, he heard footsteps. The two turned around and saw Qi Xiaobai coming over.

"Master, Senior Brother Lu, what are you talking about here so early in the morning?"

"Junior Brother Qi, I have something to ask you."

"Master, please speak."

"Is the spice you developed available for sale in the market?"

Seeing his serious expression, Qi Xiaobai thought it was something important, but he didn't expect it to be this. He looked at Song Xian in confusion, then glanced at Lu Yuan. Could it be that the two of them had been discussing this matter just now? But what was there to discuss?

"No! What's wrong?"

"Did you develop this yourself? I mean, is it your exclusive recipe? Have you told anyone else?"

Qi Xiaobai became more puzzled and said, "I developed it myself."

"Very good. Do you have any with you? Can you give us some?"

"No problem." Although Qi Xiaobai didn't know what they were going to do, he carried out Song Xian's order without hesitation. He immediately returned to the room and took out a small black porcelain bottle.

Song Xian took the porcelain bottle and took out the stopper blocking the bottle mouth. Suddenly, an extremely rich and fragrant scent hit his face.

He took a deep breath and felt as if he was standing in a sea of ​​flowers. The unusual fragrance made him a little intoxicated.

"Brother Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Yuan nodded: "This taste is extraordinary."

Song Xian plugged the bottle and said, "Junior Brother Qi, what herbs did you use to make this? Tell us."

"This is made with Panlong incense as the main ingredient and added with jade coral, Ksitigarbha flower, Qianling grass, poppy, and purple fireworks." Qi Xiaobai didn't care much and said casually.

"Panlong incense? What is this? How come I've never heard of it?"

Qi Xiaobai smiled slightly. "This is a special product from Carissa's hometown. Carissa's hometown is close to the sea. There lives a large fish creature in it, which the locals call Panlong. Its secretion is a black solid mass, so it is called Panlong incense. After being soaked in the Dead Sea, this thing emits a fragrance. The locals dry it and use it as a medicinal herb."

"Carissa really likes this fragrance. When I visited her hometown, I had a sudden inspiration. After experimenting for a while, I combined it with several spiritual herbs and created this spice."
