Chapter 1138 Ways of Making Money

“There’s really a cash gift?”

On their way out of the celebration venue, Fang Qiu opened the large red envelope that Chen Xiaogang pressed on him.

“WOW!

“A one-million-yuan check!”

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

His cell phone rang at the same time.

He Gaoming was calling John Doe.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the call and spoke in John Doe’s voice.

“Master.”

He Gaoming’s voice spoke, “We came to the ceremony and earned 500,000 yuan. It should be enough to support us for about one month, at most.”

“Indeed, the cost of food for more than 30 people is not cheap at all. Each needs two ten-yuan meals per day and a one-yuan bottle of water. And then there is the rent for the rooms. All of them will cost thousands of yuan a day, not to mention the total cost of the family members of more than 30 fellows.

“500,000 yuan looks like a large sum, but it’s far from enough.

......

“For example, the one million yuan earned by being fight Choreographers has already been spent.

“Luckily, the 500,000 yuan came in time. Otherwise, they might have to endure hunger pangs when their money runs out in the future.”

“Got it. Practice hard. I’ll find a way to make some money for you,” Fang Qiu said.

“What can you do?”

He Gaoming sighed and asked, “Are you a rich second generation?”

Fang Qiu heard what he said.

“Why does it sound so familiar?

“He seemed to have asked the same question the first time I met him as Fang Qiu.”

“No, I’m not.”

Fang Qiu shook his head.

“Then, let’s sell swords?”

He Gaoming grinned and said, “Sell swords one at a time. One Guru Sword is worth 300 million yuan. Sell one, and we’ll be rich.”

“But the more we sell, their value will decrease.”

Fang Qiu shook his head speechlessly and said, “I’ve sold many of them before, so the major forces have enough Guru Swords and won’t pay much for it now! Besides, we’d better control the total number of Guru Swords.”

“What else can we do?”

He Gaoming smiled bitterly.

“You don’t have to worry about it. I’ll figure it out.”

“Good.”

He Gaoming replied, “Then try to think more ways. There are about 30 people, but we may recruit more. If that happens, we have to ensure their basic needs are being met at least, right?”

Fang Qiu was stunned.

“That’s true.”

He Gaoming’s words reminded Fang Qiu of something important. The current situation in Wulin was very unclear. The Nirvana Organization had been hiding in the dark. Wulin was not in chaos now, but the Nirvana Organization was a ticking time bomb. There would likely be a head-on confrontation between the Nirvana Organization and Wulin.

“And, old master, he has been kind of secretive recently. What is he doing exactly?

“From the current situation, the more people we have, the better.

“Of course, it requires a great deal of money.

“Therefore, I must find ways to make as much money as possible.”

Fang Qiu was wealthy, but he didn’t want to spend his money. It was not because he was unwilling to part with his money but because once he stepped up to support them, without any survival pressure, they might stop in their attempts to progress in cultivation. After all, the pressure to survive could be a powerful motivator.

Therefore, Fang Qiu would rather find a way for them to make a living than give them the money directly.

He hung up.

“But is there any other way to make money?”

Fang Qiu felt a little distressed.

For the time being, he could use Fang Qiu’s influence in the entertainment circle to ask some people for help, like Li Huawen, Chen Xiaogang, and Director Liu Guobin, whose primary businesses were variety show programs.

In the entertainment circle, they were quite influential. Thus, with their recommendations, the action direction team led by He Gaoming should get many jobs.

But…

Jobs in the entertainment industry were not very suitable for them. For one thing, the timescale for each project was long. The money they earned from a play could only support them for one or two months. For another, there were too many miscellaneous tasks to be done in the entertainment industry. Once they took on a job, they would be fully occupied every day in the few months of the contract period. That way, they would be too busy to cultivate.

This dilemma caused He Gaoming and the others a great deal of distress.

How could they abandon their cultivation for money?

Wasn’t it against their original intention?

“In addition to the entertainment circle, are there any other industries that can help them make a fortune?”

Back in the hotel room that Director Chen Xiaogang had booked for him, Fang Qiu began to mull over this problem.

“Sell swords?”

While Fang Qiu was pondering, He Gaoming’s suggestion popped up: let’s sell swords!

“That’s right.”

Fang Qiu suddenly had a lightbulb moment and his eyes lit up. He murmured to himself, “Is there any industry more profitable than the entertainment industry? Wulin, of course!”

“Although I can’t sell the Guru Sword, there are other ways.”

Fang Qiu’s brows furrowed as he thought deeply about this.

He knew that money meant nothing but was just a number for those masters in Wulin.

Therefore, as long as he could find anything which would appeal to those masters in Wulin, the corresponding reward would be no less than that of the entertainment circle, or it might be even more.

“But what do Wulin people need?”

Fang Qiu murmured to himself, “Weapons, techniques, Heaven and Earth Treasures, and Dan Pellet.”

“Dan Pellet!”

Fang Qiu blurted out, his eyes alight with excitement. He added, “Sure! I have no Heaven and Earth Treasures, but I can make Dan Pellet! Since I can develop nourishing medicine for ordinary people, why can’t I make a prescription for Wulin people?”

With this, Fang Qiu immediately closed his eyes.

Dan Pellet prescriptions in the ancient records rushed into his mind. He kept flipping through the pages and examined the prescriptions, one after another, at a fast speed.

“This won’t do.”

“This one is not appropriate.”

“It doesn’t have much effect on Wulin people.”

After searching for a long time, Fang Qiu found nothing useful.

“If Dan Pellet prescriptions won’t work, then how about taking medicine directly?”

Fang Qiu opened his eyes.

He found that none of the Dan Pellet prescriptions recorded in those ancient books were suitable for the Wulin people. Either its effects were inappropriate, or it was completely ineffective.

What a pity. If the ancient records about Dan Pellet prescriptions also included those for the Wulin people in ancient times, Fang Qiu wouldn’t feel so troubled.

“Won’t it be too much to sell drugs directly?”

In desperation, Fang Qiu suddenly thought of the Desert Cistanche and Snow Lotus he had cultivated.

These two medicines had absorbed enough Qi of Heaven and Earth, so they themselves carried the Qi of Heaven and Earth, which would absolutely be effective for the Wulin people.

However, if sold directly, they would arouse suspicion and might attract many Wulin people who harbored malicious intentions. They might try to break into the cultivation base to steal.

“Wine!”

After thinking for a while, Fang Qiu suddenly remembered it: in many ancient prescriptions, wine was often used to enhance the efficacy of the medicine. Immediately, he thought of the medicinal liquor!

He could use wine as a medicine inducer and mix it with Snow Lotus, Desert Cistanche, and the newly developed dendrobe. With these three kinds of Taoist magic herbs infused with the Qi of Heaven and Earth, the wine could definitely be the best medicine used by Wulin for cultivation!

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu immediately took out his phone to check the flight information. He found that the latest flight happened to be a flight to Nanjiang, so he booked a ticket and took a taxi to the airport without delay. After getting the ticket, he boarded the plane heading for Nanjiang.

Upon arrival, Fang Qiu rushed to the cultivation base and picked enough dendrobe.

Right after that, he booked a flight back to Beijiang.

He was going to use the Desert Cistanche and the Snow Lotus for winemaking!

More than 30 people were crammed into a suite of a grand hotel in the capital. Both the bedroom and the living room were packed.

For the price of an expensive suit, more than 30 people could have a place to live, which was the most cost-effective choice for them.

Any other place that could hold more than 30 people would cost more.

In this way, it would be better to move into the most expensive room. Though there was only one room, they at least got a good environment to cultivate.

At this moment, they had just finished their dinner and were chatting with each other and resting.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

Suddenly, a cell phone rang.

All of them looked toward the ringing phone.

The phone belonged to Ling Zhenhua, a burly man who had been supporting John Doe since they were on the island and who felt that he owed John Doe a lot.

Because he had been supporting John Doe since the beginning and had a pleasingly direct manner of speaking, this guy was a favorite with everyone.

“Hello?”

Ling Zhenhua looked at the caller ID and then answered the phone with a smile.

“What?”

However, shortly after the phone was connected, Ling Zhenhua’s face suddenly changed drastically, and his aura instantly became extremely unstable.

The others saw this and frowned, staring at Ling Zhenhua.

“Brother He.”

As soon as he hung up the phone, Ling Zhenhua shouted to He Gaoming, “I have something urgent at home to deal with, so I have to leave now.”

Everyone was stunned by his sudden decision.

They knew that Ling Zhenhua was a divorcee due to his obsession with martial arts. Also, he had a daughter living with his ex-wife. Every time he got paid, he would transfer money to them for their living expenses.

Just now, he picked up the phone with a bright smile. Obviously, the call was from someone he cared about very much.

But now, his face became so gloomy.

Something bad must have happened!

“What is it?” He Gaoming asked immediately.

“Something urgent,” Ling Zhenhua answered.

“If you want to leave, you have to ask our opinions first,” He Gaoming said.

“Let’s go together.”

“Yes, we are all like brothers. Let us help you if you have something to deal with!”

“No matter what, we’re all here for you.”

“Yes, let’s go together!”

Everyone echoed.

He Gaoming said with a smile, “Don’t worry. With us here, no matter what happens, it’ll be a small matter. You lead the way. Today, we have enough money. You can go anywhere you want!”

“Thank you, thank you, guys.”

Ling Zhenhua saluted them. Then, he walked out hurriedly.

More than 30 people followed him.

They went all the way to the high-speed railway station, and Ling Zhenhua told He Gaoming that he was going to the northeast region.

He Gaoming didn’t say anything. He bought a high-speed train ticket for each of them, and then all of them got on the train.

Soon, they arrived in a small county called Qingyang in the northeast region.

As soon as he got out of the train, Ling Zhenhua immediately rushed to the hospital, and everyone followed closely behind him. Because it was already late at night, they did not have time to wait for a taxi. In the end, they ran all the way to the hospital.

Only when they were in the hospital did everyone find out what had happened. Ling Zhenhua’s eight-year-old daughter was unconscious, and she had been undergoing treatment here for some time. But now, there was no money to pay for her treatment fee.

Ling Zhenhua went to the ward.

When he saw his daughter lying on the hospital bed, his eyes turned red. No matter how hard he tried to hold back his tears, tears still rolled down his cheeks.
