“This is so conflicting.” Jun Changxiao frowned.

At this moment, he had come to realize that things from the System were all too exceptional—taking them out to sell was simply unrealistic!

The System said, “Host can consider selling Elementary Beast Pills.”

Jun Changxiao nearly fell off his chair.

Undeniably, Elementary Beast Pills had the effect of Fasting Pills, but ultimately they were meant to be eaten by beasts!

Transmigrators in other novels either made their fortune through pills or weapons and equipment. For him to be reduced to selling feed was really… he couldn’t afford to lose that much face!

“What’s more important—money or face?”

“Face…”

Jun Changxiao said with all seriousness, “Money is more important.”

“Well then, that settles it.”

The materials needed for Elementary Beast Pills were very easy to find. The System had Jun Changxiao establish this business because it hoped he could gain greater profits.

The key question was—would this thing sell well?

If it were Fasting Pills, martial artists could eat one and not be hungry for several days—that would definitely cause a buying frenzy.

But Elementary Beast Pills targeted beasts as users, and on Xingyun Continent, there weren’t many martial cultivators who had contracted beasts!

The System said, “Host can treat it as feed and sell it to families or forces with horse ranches.”

Although this world didn’t have battle energy transforming into horses, nor did it have a Dou Di chasing a Dou Tu but unable to catch up because the horse wasn’t fast enough.

However, horses were absolutely the most common transportation in the mortal world.

Those who didn’t ride horses were the strong.

Such existences on Xingyun Continent were extremely rare in terms of population ratio, so there were still many martial artists who traveled by horse.

Moreover.

Wearing a long green robe and riding a fine horse, galloping between heaven and earth—this was the dream of countless people of the martial world!

Many great families had their own horse ranches, not only for their own use but also to sell.

A high-quality horse could be worth tens of thousands of gold—hard to buy!

The System said, “As the saying goes, fine horses are given to heroes, beauties to handsome men. Host can consider this.”

“That’s not right.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Isn’t it ‘treasured swords are given to heroes, beauties to handsome men’?”

“The principle is the same.” The System said.

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin and said, “I need to survey the market first.”

The next day, he once again left sect affairs to Li Qingyang, then personally made a trip to Qingyang City.

Sure enough.

There was a horse market within the city.

Many martial artists were haggling with horse traders, hoping to purchase one.

Jun Changxiao strolled around and discovered that even the most ordinary of these horses being sold would absolutely be purebred horses on Earth!

Xingyun Continent had abundant spiritual energy, and after professional breeding, they were naturally all exceptional.

After watching for a long time, Jun Changxiao found that many martial artists buying a horse they fancied spent at minimum five thousand taels of silver, so he thought to himself, “With such high prices, the breeding costs must be high.”

“Old Iron.”

He approached a horse trader who was counting money, hands tucked in his sleeves, and smiled, “Business is good, eh?”

“My surname is Jin, not Tie.” The merchant said.

“…”

Jun Changxiao leaned against a hitching post and smiled, “How long does it take for a horse to grow from youth to adulthood?”

The merchant said, “Half a year.”

“That fast?” Jun Changxiao said in surprise.

Although he had lived muddled through half his life on Earth, he knew that a horse from youth to adulthood should take three to five years at least.

In this alternate world it only took half a year—truly, the local soil nurtured the local horses.

“Old… Old Jin.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Raising a horse to maturity must cost quite a bit of money, right?”

“You bet.”

The merchant said, “That Breeze Horse I just sold, not counting breeding costs, just buying medicinal herbs to feed it cost nearly five thousand taels. There’s barely any profit to speak of.”

Jun Changxiao knew this guy must be exaggerating—after all, when businessmen sold things, none of them didn’t claim to be losing money.

“Calculating half profit, it should still be around two to three thousand.”

“Half a year is one hundred and eighty days, which is eighteen Elementary Beast Pills’ worth.”

“Selling one for a hundred taels, that could save several hundred taels, and that’s just one horse—if you raise many, you save even more.”

Jun Changxiao muttered to himself inwardly.

“Wait.”

His mind flashed with inspiration: “If selling horses has such large profits, why don’t I consider raising horses instead of selling feed!”

Opening a horse ranch on Tiegu Mountain would absolutely be no problem!

The System said speechlessly, “So, Host plans to change from selling feed to becoming a horse trader?”

The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

“Horse trader” sounded even worse than “selling feed.”

The System said, “Although selling horses has large profits, the growth cycle is also long. It’s better to sell feed—as long as you open up the market, the returns from small profits with high volume will absolutely be more worthwhile than raising horses.”

“Furthermore.”

It added, “Raising horses isn’t as good as raising bamboo rats.”

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes at it and said, “Last time someone tricked me into begging in Dubai, then tricked me into getting a wife in Ukraine. Now you’re tricking me into selling bamboo rats?”

…

After surveying the market.

Jun Changxiao made a trip to the City Lord’s Manor to inquire about matters related to horses.

City Lord Xie stroked his chin and said, “Horses as transportation are especially important everywhere, and market demand is high.”

“So.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I’m planning to sell feed.”

Creak.

City Lord Xie was completely dumbfounded.

Never mind that this was a sect master—just the fact that he could refine Healing Pills and Body-Sculpting Pills meant he was an awesome alchemist.

To go sell feed was really too absurd!

“City Lord Xie.”

Jun Changxiao said, “This Jun wants to find a good location to open a shop. I wonder if you could accommodate this?”

The corner of City Lord Xie’s mouth twitched as he said, “Sect Master Jun really wants to open a shop… to sell feed?”

“Yes.”

Jun Changxiao’s tone was firm.

This kind of business—he didn’t need to invest much capital, and as long as he opened up the market, it would definitely bring profits of ten thousand percent!

“Alright then.”

City Lord Xie pondered briefly and said, “There’s a storefront in a prime location on the main street. If Sect Master Jun really wants to open a shop, just use it.”

“Rent?”

“No rent needed.”

“That works.”

Jun Changxiao handed over a Body-Sculpting Pill and said, “Then I’ll use this Body-Sculpting Pill as rent. City Lord Xie, please don’t refuse.”

The corner of City Lord Xie’s mouth twitched.

The storefront he offered, though in a prime location, only cost about fifty thousand taels in annual rent. The Body-Sculpting Pill Sect Master Jun gave was worth a million!

“Sect Master Jun.”

He put away the pill and said, “The matter of decorating the storefront must be left to this Xie.”

“That works.” Jun Changxiao said.

City Lord Xie said, “What shop name does Sect Master Jun plan to use?”

“This…” Jun Changxiao began thinking.

The System offered a suggestion: “You could call it Jun Family Feed Shop.”

The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

This thing really saw him as a feed seller!

“City Lord Xie.”

Jun Changxiao considered briefly and said, “Using the first two characters of my Tiegu Sect as the name, let’s call it Tiegu Beast Feed Shop.”

“That works.”

City Lord Xie immediately ordered his subordinates to go quickly make the signboard.

“Farewell!”

Jun Changxiao stood up and returned to the sect.

He had a way to make money, had obtained a storefront, and had left the decoration matters to Xie Guangkun.

On the road, Jun Changxiao began considering, “After the shop opens for business, I’ll need staff. I’ll have the Drizzle Hall members who serve as informants in the city manage it.”

If Li Luoqiu knew, he would definitely be speechless.

Sect Master, why do you have the Drizzle Hall do everything!

Li Qingyang should understand this feeling.
