Chapter 238: Enlightenment (3)

“So powerful! The two cultivation techniques have been upgraded! No wonder they dared simulate the Purple Firmament Palace!” Lu Ping muttered.

He didn’t know that it wasn’t a simulation.

It was a memory.

But no matter what, Lu Ping had gained a lot.

The sky was already bright.

Lu Ping got up and left the room to see Huang Xiaoqi.

“Old Buddy Huang...”

“Don’t call me Old Buddy Huang!” Huang Xiaoqi interrupted angrily.

Lu Ping said helplessly, “Isn’t this being close friends?”

Huang Xiaoqi sneered, “Close friends my ass. I’m a cute girl but you’re calling me old?”

“Fine!” Lu Ping smiled. “Yiyi, I may have to resign. In a few days, I may have to move away from you!”

Since he planned to set up a sect, Lu Ping naturally wouldn’t stay at Huang Xiaoqi’s house anymore.

He had already checked. If he set up a sect in the city, all the land needed to be approved, and he had to spend money. Lu Ping couldn’t afford it!

However, if he set up a sect outside the city, then it would be much easier. He could take the rivers and mountains as he pleased. As long as he could take them, they would all be his.

Lu Ping had the array formation given by the system. This was not too difficult for him.

As long as he found a spiritual mountain with abundant spiritual energy and threw the array down, wouldn’t he be able to take over the mountain as its king?

After all, the immortal grade Mountain Protecting formation had a radius of a hundred miles and could even kill Heaven Immortals.

Lu Ping had never heard of Heaven Immortals in all the years he had been on Fengming Planet.

Moreover, the formation killed Heaven Immortals. In other words, one had to be at least at the Gold Immortal stage to break the formation.

Therefore, Lu Ping was not afraid!

Of course, the only thing he had to consider was that it might be a little troublesome to go back and forth between the city. Moreover, many things were much more convenient in the city.

For example, buying things and delivering packages...

Huang Xiaoqi stopped Lu Ping’s words.

Her heart did not stir too much.

After all, Lu Ping had already told her on the internet.

“Where are you going?” Huang Xiaoqi pretended not to know and asked.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “I’m planning to establish a sect and then take in disciples to teach.”

Huang Xiaoqi smiled slightly. “Have you made preparations?”

“What preparations?” Huang Xiaoqi’s words confused Lu Ping.

Huang Xiaoqi seriously counted her fingers and said, “Look, you have to have a piece of land first, right?”

Lu Ping smiled and said, “I’m going out of the city. I have an array formation that can protect a radius of a hundred miles!”

Huang Xiaoqi never thought that Lu Ping would have such a thing.

She was stunned at first, but she immediately reacted with a smile. “Even if you have an array formation, the daily expenses of maintaining the array formation will cost a lot of spirit stones! Spirit stones are not cheap!”

Lu Ping frowned. He had really forgotten about this.

“I can earn money.” Lu Ping smiled and said, “I can now refine artifacts to earn money...”

As he said that, Lu Ping himself sensed that something was wrong.

He could indeed refine artifacts to earn money, but if the daily maintenance of the array formation required him to spend a large amount of money, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

“System, does the Mountain Protecting formation need daily consumption? Can’t it absorb spiritual energy to maintain its operation?”

“Yes! Under the condition that the array is intact, it doesn’t need to consume spirit stones.”

Hearing this, Lu Ping felt relieved.

He smiled at Huang Xiaoqi and said, “My array can operate automatically. It doesn’t need spirit stones.”

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoqi immediately made a judgment. The array mentioned by Lu Ping was of high quality!

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, “Then you have to build a house, right? Don’t tell me you want to build it yourself?”

Lu Ping didn’t mind her words.

“I’ll build a few wooden houses! Or dig a few caves...”

That was what Lu Ping thought. In his opinion, there wouldn’t be many people in his sect.

It wasn’t that troublesome.

Huang Xiaoqi sneered disdainfully, “Do you think this was ten trillion years ago? How could there be a sect as poor as yours now? A cave? What parent would give their child to you?”

Lu Ping said nothing.

“You should at least build a mountain gate, right? Last year Binhai City established a spirit accumulation sect, and the mountain gate alone cost two million star dollars! Not counting the buildings inside, can you afford to build it?”

Lu Ping was speechless. People had limited time and energy. Recently, he had spent a lot of time on scoring points.

Now that he had broken through to the Golden Core stage, cultivation fluid was even more expensive.

The Five Qi Forging technique was indeed very profitable, but this speed of earning money was clearly not fast enough.

He heard Huang Xiaoqi say again, “You don’t think that you can make money just because your sect opened, right? Even if you charge tuition fees, how much can you charge? A student can pay you 30,000 star dollars a year. Ten students can pay you 300,000 star dollars. A hundred students can pay you 3 million. What about the daily expenses of the sect? Are you willing to throw a large amount of money into the sect for a year? Are you cultivating or not?”

Lu Ping fell silent.

He had to admit that he really hadn’t thought about these problems before.

Lu Ping wanted to quickly follow the system’s trend.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping shook his head and said, “I’ll still set up a sect. I can’t think too much about what you’re saying right now. It’ll be the same with Lu Zi and Mengyao anyway! I believe it’ll get better and better.”

Lu Ping knew that what Huang Xiaoqi said made sense.

But the problem was that he didn’t completely agree with her. If he couldn’t even bear the hardships of being poor, what could he even cultivate?

Although he also hoped that the sect could become better, everything had to be done step by step!

Seeing Lu Ping say so, Huang Xiaoqi smiled and said, “I have a suggestion. How about I invest in your sect? Leave the construction of the sect to me. I’ll take 40% of the shares of the sect. When the sect makes profit, we’ll split it 60-40!”

“Profit of the sect? Didn’t you just say that the sect has no profit?”

Lu Ping really didn’t understand these things.

Huang Xiaoqi sneered, “Do you really think that the sect has no profit at all? Why do you think these sects protect these low-level cultivators? Take Binhai City as an example. All the consumption generated in Binhai City will be taxed. These things will be divided by the major sects according to the proportion! The small sects naturally don’t have money in the early stages, but once the strength of the sects rises and they have a say in Qingzhou State’s affairs, they will be able to obtain a large amount of tax revenue!”
