My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 40 What kind of money is the easiest to earn?

Vixi was somewhat skeptical of the money-making tips Shi Qing mentioned.

In her memory, Shi Qing's way of making money was basically gambling and swindling.

The former causes gamblers to lose everything, while the latter always allows themselves to pass off defective pills as recovery potions.

Although strictly speaking, this is not illegal.

But soon, Vishi witnessed the even lower bottom line of this powerful cultivator.

After obtaining the intelligence, Vishi once again retreated into the underground city.

Gabo is directing people to move those crippled spell templates to the territory of the Aomori Serpent.

Oh no, since the monster lord here has been killed by Vishi, and the raid has destroyed most of the caves, most of them have collapsed.

Now only broken ruins remain here, and few people come and go.

In return, Gabo contributed some money to convert the cave into a private warehouse and gifted it to Vichy.

"My lord, all the high-damage spell templates on the market are here. Due to bulk purchases, the unit price has increased slightly."

A total of nine thousand damaged spell templates.

Gabo diligently reported the situation and then handed Vichy an iron key.

Vichy pondered for a moment, took the key, and then said.

"You don't seem to want to be an adventurer anymore?"

Gabo paused for a moment, then couldn't help but lower his head, his expression somewhat sorrowful.

"Yes, sir."

"My adventure team all came from my hometown, but now I'm the only one still alive. I have to live to earn some money, at least to make their families live a better life."

"Hmm, you are indeed a person of great loyalty and affection."

Vichy nodded and said, "In that case, I'll grant you a chance. Come back here in three days."

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Gabo immediately perked up.

Judging from the power that instantly defeated the Blood Puppet, Vishi is definitely a powerful and unfathomable figure.

Whatever opportunity he mentioned, it was a great chance for him!

After seeing Gabo off, Shi Qing landed on the template wreckage and looked around.

The quality of these spell templates was indeed very poor; the spells inscribed on them had been burned away completely, as if they had never been inscribed at all.

"Teacher, what do you need so many iron plates for?"

"Heh, this isn't just a simple iron plate; it's mixed with a lot of magical metal materials."

If the solution is sorted and precipitated in large quantities, it would be worth at least 80 copper coins, a considerable profit.

80 copper coins?

The cost price is only a little over 50!

Vichy slowly opened her eyes. The huge profits involved were far beyond her imagination. Could it be that the money-making trick her teacher mentioned was recycling waste?

"You think the profit margin is very high?"

"That's amazing, teacher! Nearly 60% profit margin! How many businesses offer that?"

Shi Qing shook his head.

"This conflicts with official policy. Their original intention was to promote the popularization of puppets. The reason why the purchase price can be so low is because they are subsidizing it with their financial power."

If you dare to sell directly, the purchase price could skyrocket to 300% tomorrow.

"ah?!"

Vichy scratched her head. She hadn't thought of that at all. So, was the teacher planning to make a quick buck?

Shi Qing looked at the mountain of scrap.

"What kind of money is the easiest to make? Monopoly, of course."

"How can you achieve a monopoly? Of course, you need to have your own unique technology."

As he spoke, a spell template flew over.

With a thought, he immediately erased all the magical loops and cut it into several thin slices.

Shi Qing possessed Vixi again. She picked up the thin pieces and used her blood and qi as a knife to carve several delicate lines in the blink of an eye.

Vishi recognized the patterns: first-tier bone healing technique, first-tier hemostasis technique, and first-tier energy-boosting technique—all healing spells.

Immediately afterwards, these thin pieces overlapped and merged into a complete spell template.

Ding, a faint light flickers.

Three spells are imprinted on a single spell template, multiplying their effects!

Vishi was dumbfounded. Wasn't it said that a spell template could only be used to imprint one spell?

But Shi Qing's tricks weren't over yet.

Then I saw him pick up a new spell template.

The spell template is still intact, and it is engraved with the Hermer Powered Blade, a type of externally projecting energy lightsaber.

This spell is quite lethal; ordinary metal shields or monster scales simply cannot block it.

However, the downside is that it consumes a lot of magic power, so the puppets will only use it as a last resort.

"This lightsaber technique is good, but it consumes too much energy. The person who created the patterns must be the second-in-command; it's too redundant."

The Puppet Sect has long since phased out this technique; only children practicing Qi cultivation use it as homework.

As he spoke, Shi Qing made some modifications, and the patterns on the Hermer-style power blade underwent a dramatic change.

Vishi tried to activate it and found that the spell's cost had been reduced significantly!

She blinked.

I finally understand what the teacher meant by monopolistic advantage.

It is Shi Qing's knowledge.

He applied his knowledge of puppetry to the modification of magic puppets.

"Teacher, you're amazing!"

"Heh, it's nothing, just a minor improvement."

Shi Qing casually replied, "In high-level combat, you can't use a move too many times, otherwise it's easy for the opponent to find a weakness. It's common to revise your moves frequently."

"Huh? That's so exaggerated?"

"It's more exaggerated than you imagine. Some demonic cultivators with too many enemies even modify it every time they use it."

Okay, did you learn it just now?

"ah?!"

Vichy was dumbfounded.

"What? All you know is boxing, and you want to be a swordsman?"

"I'll demonstrate a few more times for you. Then you can carve them yourself. You'll have to finish carving these boards within three days."

Shi Qing's words made Vixi's vision go black, and he almost lost his composure.

Is this a human being?

......

three days later.

As promised, Gabo arrived at the warehouse again.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of opportunity that person could give him.

To be honest, he's not really interested in being an adventurer anymore; he just wants to live a peaceful life doing small quests.

If it were about taking him on an adventure to hunt high-risk monsters, he would have no choice but to retreat.

People always change after they die.

Just as Gabo was pondering this, a voice suddenly rang out.

"The door's open, come in."

Gabo paused for a moment, then slowly pushed open the wooden door. A flash of cold light passed by, and his eyes widened in astonishment.

A large number of spell templates are stacked according to their different functions.

Gabo glanced at them briefly and knew that these spell templates were not crippled.

They were all perfect spell templates, each inscribed with at least a second-tier spell, and some of them were spells he had never seen before!

Vichy jumped off a workbench.

"Judging from your expression, you should know what kind of opportunity I'm giving you."

"Help me sell these things, split the profits 80/20, and sell them at market price."

Upon hearing this, Gabo felt a surge of fervor.

"Yes, sir!"

"I will definitely sell it at market price!"

At this moment, Vichy, who had been staying up for three days, suddenly asked.

"How many servings can you sell?"

Jiabo held up two fingers.

"Two silver coins?!"

Vichy felt a sense of suffocation. His labor costs were so high? Four times the profit!

"No, how could that be!"

"At least two gold coins, sir!"

"If you buy it for 50 copper coins and sell it for 2 gold coins, you can make a 40-fold profit."
