Ghost Catching System-Chapter 593 - 592 Sanqing Pavilion’s Business_1
Chu Hao understood the purpose of the Three Wealth Copper Coins. It was an item designed to attract wealth by absorbing others' fortunes.
Chu Hao took out the Three Wealth Copper Coins, which were bronze-colored. They were inscribed with the four characters "Attract Wealth and Treasure" on their sides.
Was it really as incredibly awesome as I thought? Chu Hao was eager to try it out.
However, there's another Green Diamond Treasure Chest to open. I have to get something good from it.
"Open the Green Diamond Treasure Chest."
"Ding... Host has acquired the Beginners True Qi Breathing Technique."
Item: Beginners True Qi Breathing Technique
Rarity: ★★★★
Ability: To learn this secret technique, one must have True Qi within the body. It can improve and purify True Qi by one level.
Tip: (With this True Qi Breathing Technique, one can cultivate up to the Late Foundation Building Stage)
Chu Hao was excited. Just by relying on this, I can cultivate up to the Late Foundation Building Stage! This item is incredibly valuable. No wonder it was sold in the System store for 30,000 Pretentiousness Points!
"Learn."
"Ding... Host has learned the Beginners True Qi Breathing Technique."
Chu Hao sat cross-legged and began to practice breathing. He soon entered a meditative state.
He felt a stream of True Qi flowing in his lungs. As he breathed in and out, his chest made a sound like a bellows, heaving up and down.
If someone had been present, they would surely have noticed two strands of white air flowing from Chu Hao's nostrils, coiling in front of him. At first glance, he would have seemed like an immortal from legends.
Chu Hao felt that his senses could perceive everything in all directions. Tiny particles surrounded him, and as he inhaled them into his lungs, they gathered, nourishing his True Qi.
This was the True Qi Breathing Technique.
Chu Hao opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and buoyant. He checked the True Qi within his body and found it was slightly more enriched, albeit only by a small amount.
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "This thing relies on one's own cultivation, which is very slow. It seems a bit useless."
Indeed, it was slow, mainly because the environment he was in had virtually no spiritual energy. If he were in a place like Mount Taiding, it would be a different story.
If the masters of the Yin and Yang Realm knew that I thought the True Qi Breathing Technique was useless, they would probably have a meltdown, right?
Nowadays, secret techniques for cultivating True Qi of this level had almost vanished. Anyone who obtained one would undoubtedly treasure it.
"However, this True Qi Breathing Technique does speed up the recovery of True Qi quite effectively," Chu Hao remarked.
Chu Hao checked the time and realized it was already four in the afternoon, which he found unbelievable.
"I started practicing the breathing technique at eleven," Chu Hao exclaimed in astonishment. "It felt like only a blink of an eye, and suddenly it's four o'clock! I completely lost track of time."
No wonder legendary cultivators had no concept of time. Their perception of time was probably measured only in months and years.
This is cultivation.
Chu Hao muttered to himself, "It seems this path is difficult, but reaching the pinnacle of cultivation would be amazing. The System also said it could grant eternal life."
With that thought, Chu Hao became even more determined. I must become a Yin and Yang cultivator! Telling people about that would definitely score high on the pretentious scale!
Getting up, he took out the Three Wealth Copper Coins, preparing to go out and test its power—to see just how much wealth it could attract.
"Ding... Host is using the Magic Luck Circle, consuming 10 Mana Points per minute."
Chu Hao strode out of his room and arrived on the first floor of the Sanqing Pavilion.
"Where's my fortune at?" he wondered aloud.
After waiting for about three to four minutes, business at Sanqing Pavilion continued as usual, with basically no changes. The foot traffic in the store usually saw around a dozen customers per hour, and nothing was different now.
Chu Hao poured himself a glass of water and looked outside the store. Will any wealthy customers come by?
"Ladies and gentlemen, right here we have the famous Sanqing Pavilion of Anli City, a place that specializes in the sale of mystical artifacts. Such a shop is rare to find across the entire continent."
A man in his thirties, holding a small red flag, appeared; he was evidently a tour guide. This guide brought a sizable group of tourists into Sanqing Pavilion.
A woman asked, "Guide, are the items here for real?"
The guide replied with a smile, "To tell you the truth, have you seen the news recently? Demons do exist, ghosts too, and even our country doesn't deny it. This Sanqing Pavilion is recognized as the most legitimate magic artifact shop on the continent. If you're visiting Anli City, you must come to Sanqing Pavilion to buy protective magic artifacts."
A middle-aged man, speaking in a Southern Min dialect, said, "Is that real or fake? The stuff here is so expensive."
The guide responded, "Exactly! Their high price is justified. The magic artifacts here aren't your common, everyday items. And why doesn't the Bureau of Industry and Commerce regulate them? Because these artifacts are the real deal."
The guide added, "So, buying a magic artifact to take home will ensure your family's safety, and it's absolutely worth it."
"So expensive! This Jade Talisman costs 30,000 yuan."
"Not to mention, the minimum is 20,000 for a Talisman. Is this shop robbing people?"
"Scarcity makes things valuable. Maybe they are real! I'll buy one to try at home. I've already bought gold and silver jewelry; this little bit more isn't a big deal."
When the group of tourists brought by the guide left, eight or nine of the twenty-three people had purchased magic artifacts, netting several hundred thousand yuan in one go.
No sooner had this group departed than another guide brought in a new batch of tourists.
Chu Hao approached Zhang Qin'ai and asked, "What's going on here?"
Zhang Qin'ai explained, "A while ago, someone from a travel company bought magic artifacts from our store. After using them, he said the effects were excellent, so he wanted to collaborate with us to bring customers over to try them."
So that's how it is.
Indeed, while guides usually took people to gold and jewelry stores, this was the first time they were bringing people to buy magic artifacts, and the effect was significant. In just two short hours, an income of 1.23 million yuan had been accrued. The money was coming in too fast.
At that moment, a balding middle-aged man came over, smiling as he said, "Manager Ai."
Zhang Qin'ai pointed to Chu Hao and said, "This is the owner of our Sanqing Pavilion."
The middle-aged man was delighted. I've wanted to meet the owner of Sanqing Pavilion for so long! However, seeing how young Chu Hao was, the man was a bit puzzled. Is Manager Ai deceiving me?
But the middle-aged man was a businessman and quick to respond. Adopting a genial smile, he said, "Boss, our travel company would like to sincerely collaborate with Sanqing Pavilion. The effects of bringing customers here are apparent, as everyone has seen. I wonder if this is something you'd consider."
Chu Hao nodded and asked, "How would you like to collaborate?"
The middle-aged man said, "We want to promote Sanqing Pavilion's magic artifacts extensively. If your shop works with us, the daily customer volume could be around five hundred people."
Five hundred people... if even one-fifth of them buy something, that's one hundred customers. Even with the cheapest magic artifacts priced around 30,000, that would mean an income of 3 million a day! That's 15 million a month—what about a year? That would be incredible! And several other branches of Sanqing Pavilion are about to open too. The largest store is over two thousand square meters—a super-sized venue!
Chu Hao thought for a moment and then said to Zhang Qin'ai, "Qin Jie, you decide on this matter."
