127: 116 Target Financial Freedom_3 127: 116 Target Financial Freedom_3 Cao Zhen discovered that he didn’t even have anyone to talk to.

Luckily, it didn’t take long before a pair of long legs came into his view.

Yi Sheng looked at Cao Zhen who was sitting in the room, a hint of obvious surprise flashed across her bright eyes on her valiant face, “Master, you’re already back?

You…

have visited all the Taoist Institutions?”

How could her master have returned faster than herself?

She had gone directly to each Taoist Institution’s head, and during the negotiations, she was always in a position of strength, not wasting much time.

In view of her own speed, it was impossible for her master to be quicker, unless he had not visited all the Taoist Institutions.

“I visited them all,” Cao Zhen said as he lifted his teacup, took a gentle sip, and a smile appeared on his face.

Having one more disciple back made Four Treasures Peak seem a bit livelier.

He still preferred when everyone was gathered together on the mountain.

“All of them?” Yi Sheng was full of amazement, “Master, how could you be so fast?”

After saying this, she suddenly realized something.

If her master was that fast, the terms he negotiated must not have been high.

With this thought, a proud look appeared on her face as she boasted, “Master, what price did you negotiate with those Taoist Institutions?

The price I pressed them down to was very low; for each one, I pressed them down to fifteen or twenty percent, and I wouldn’t negotiate with those who wouldn’t agree.

If the price you pressed for is much different than mine, that would not be good.”

“Fifteen percent?” Cao Zhen was confused for a moment, “You even went for half a percent?

Wouldn’t that complicate things when we settle the accounts?

I was thinking of pressing them down to five percent, but then I thought it was too troublesome, so I casually offered them ten percent.”

“What?

Ten percent?” Yi Sheng, hearing her master’s calm tone, immediately rushed in front of Cao Zhen, her face full of shock, “Master, how did you manage that?

How could they agree to it?”

“As a teacher, I was there to do good deeds, for the benefit of their Taoist Institutions.

Forget ten percent, even if it had been free, I reckon quite a few of them would have agreed,” Cao Zhen waved his hand, “Don’t be like this.

It’s routine, sit down, sit down.

You should know, we are saving them, supporting them…”

What a joke, I have the title of Master Ma’s Enchanter with a MAX level, Master of Heartwarming Soup and Sophistry.

If it weren’t for the sake of our fellow disciples, would you believe I could have charmed them into paying me instead?

Listening to her master’s tale, and the plan to support the fellow disciples of the Taoist Institutions, Yi Sheng, who was always incredibly confident and proud, nearly knelt in admiration like a little fangirl meeting her idol.

Genius, her teacher’s ideas were sheer genius!

How did her teacher come up with them?

She was born into a family of merchants, immersed in business from a young age, and coupled with her intelligence, she had a natural talent for it, far beyond ordinary people’s.

Even her father said that if she didn’t pursue immortal cultivation and focused solely on business, she would surpass his own achievements.

However, now that she compared herself with her master, she felt that all she had learned from her childhood on wasn’t even worthy of being called business acumen.

“Little Yi Sheng, it’s okay, you are still young, it’s normal to have a smaller vision.

Just wait until I teach you for some more time, and your horizons will broaden,” Cao Zhen said, looking at Yi Sheng who was adoringly staring at him like an idol-struck little sister, “First, let’s eat.

After we eat, I will give you another lesson.”

Ling Xi discovered, just by preparing a meal, it seemed like her little junior sister had turned into a different person.

She could feel Yi Sheng’s pride, even though she hadn’t beaten anyone in the contests, that inherent pride was still visible in her bones.

But now, in the span of a meal, Yi Sheng hadn’t really done anything except serve food to her master.

Indeed, the little junior sister had also discovered the greatness of their master!

After dinner, Yi Sheng, now full of admiration for the master she currently revered the most, started brewing tea and then began speaking somewhat worriedly, “Master, actually, there are some problems with doing things this way.

Although we said we have other Talisman Making Techniques that we would gradually teach them to keep them cooperating with us,

we can’t guarantee that some short-sighted people won’t just think about the present, ignoring other Talisman Making Techniques.

What if they decide to break away and work on their own?

After all, we already taught them our Talisman Making Technique.”

Cao Zhen stretched out a hand and gently tapped on the tabletop.

He had considered this issue when he first thought about making talismans.

After all, in this world, there was nothing like copyright, and once others learned the Talisman Making Technique, they could freely make talismans.

He considered many methods, and in the end, he thought threats would work best.

“Actually, solving this problem is simple,” Cao Zhen countered, “What is their purpose in making talismans?”

Ling Xi had been listening quietly to their conversation, unable to interject, but upon hearing this simple question, she didn’t wait for Yi Sheng to answer and blurted out herself, “For making money.”

“Exactly, for making money.

If they go solo, not only will they not make money, they will lose money.

Naturally, they won’t separate from us and go it alone,” Cao Zhen pointed a finger at Ling Xi and said, “This matter, we will need you to step in.

Do you still remember those higher-level talismans I taught you among the Talisman Making Techniques?

Those talismans can perfectly replace basic talismans like the Gathering Spirit Talisman.

Once we start using them for crafting and release them into the market, no one will buy the talismans they make anymore.”
