Business Dao

One of the Heavenly Dao, followed by the Magnificent Clouds sect. When one follows the business dao, their goal is to make profit.
== Wealth God ==
"As for us, our belief is in the wealth god, and what we cultivate is the Business Dao. Long Chen has also said it: all the Heavenly Daos return to the same point, all Laws are from the same source, and at the peak of all Daos, everything is connected. This is my first time hearing it put in such a perfect manner. That is even further evidence my investment wasn't wrong.
Zheng Wenlong nodded. "Long Chen is correct. The most difficult part of cultivation is maintaining a stable Dao-heart. On the cultivation path, we will all be given blows, we will all get confused, we will all become lost, and we will all suffer from negative emotions from time to time. That will all affect our Dao-hearts, and once your Dao-heart crumbles, then you will be like a carriage without a road, a boat without any water. You will lose all orientation, and it will be impossible for you to advance.
"The Business Dao is our belief, and our eyesight is the weapon we trust the most. We will never doubt our eyesight, because if we doubt it, then that means our Dao-heart is already broken and our martial path will also be blocked.
"Since I trust my vision, and since I can see immense profits coming from this, why would I give up on this opportunity?"
Mo Nian and Hua Biluo now understood the Huayun disciples' conviction a bit more. Although they still didn't understand it completely, it still made them admire them.
There were countless Daos in the world, and they were all different paths to the same destination. The Huayun Sect had relied on its Business Dao to thrive for countless years, so it definitely had its own powerful foundation. There were many people who didn't understand them, feeling like they were nothing more than profit-seeking merchants. However, those people were completely mistaken.
"Your life is your greatest investment. If you invest it in some object, your profit will always be limited. But if you invest it in a person, then what they might bring you in the end is unimaginable." Zheng Wenlong laughed pointedly.
Hua Biluo shook, as she realized Zheng Wenlong was talking about her. Wasn't her cooperation with Long Chen also a business transaction? Then it was also a part of the Business Dao.
== Hua Mingxiong to Zheng Wenlong ==
After Long Chen returns from the Spirit World, he finds that the XDS had been destroyed by several powers including the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect. He then destroys the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect in revenge, but then several sects including PV try to implicate him. Long Chen then goes to Zheng Wenlong for help.
Zheng Wenlong wanted to help Long Chen but didn't want to draw the Huayun Sect into any trouble. He was prepared to help Long Chen on his own and asked Hua Mingxiong to leave Huayun. That way, his actions would be unrelated to the Huayun Sect, and he wouldn't need to worry about implicating the Huayun Sect. However, Hua Mingxiong said there is no need to leave as Zheng's partnership with Long Chen had been profitable so far, so continuing to help Long Chen would be in alignment with the Wealth God and Huayun sect.
"Child, first of all, you should get up." Hua Mingxiong smiled faintly.
"Disciple does not have the face to raise his head." Zheng Wenlong still kept his head to the ground.
"Foolish child, you are a devout follower of the Wealth God, but you still don't comprehend the true essence of the Huayun Sect. Let me ask you, what is every disciple of the Huayun Sect?"
"A businessman."
"And what do businessmen exist for?"
"For profit."
"Then tell me, has your collaboration with Long Chen been profitable?"
"It has."
"And if you continue your collaboration with Long Chen, will you obtain even more profit?"
"If he lives, the profit will naturally be limitless."
"Then isn't that all? Businessmen pursue profit. Helping Long Chen is getting more profit. Why would you need to leave the Huayun Sect for this? Your actions have not infringed on the Huayun Sect's rules, nor have they gone against our faith. Why would you need to do this?" asked Hua Mingxiong.
"But this time, there's Pill Valley, the ancient races, the Corrupt path, the ancient family alliance..."
"Forget about them for now. What you need to remember is that you are a businessman, and you must operate your business in good faith. As long as your clients do not break off the collaboration, then as long as there is still profit to be made, you cannot break it off yourself for selfish reasons. That would be a breach of contract and a violation of the doctrines of the Wealth God," said Hua Mingxiong.
"But..." Zheng Wenlong finally raised his head to look at him.
Hua Mingxiong smiled. "Child, there are no buts. The Business Dao is also one of the Heavenly Daos. We steadily advance by following the Wealth God's directions and conducting our business honestly. All your misgivings are simply the thoughts of a child. No matter how high your intelligence is, can it surpass a god's?"
"Disciple wouldn't dare to compare himself to the Wealth God," said Zheng Wenlong hastily.
"Then why are you questioning the Wealth God's intelligence?"
"I wasn't-... I understand. I know where I was wrong." Zheng Wenlong was about to quibble when he suddenly came to a realization and became delighted.
"Not bad, your comprehension is truly good. Remember, no matter what you do, as long as you act within the restrictions of what the Wealth God has commanded, you are following the Wealth God's directions. If you feel doubt, fear, or misgivings, it's simply because you lack faith in the Wealth God. We are humans, not gods. And a god's intelligence isn't something we can reach. In fact, how do you know that Long Chen's arrival here isn't thanks to the Wealth God's guidance?" said Hua Mingxiong with a thought-provoking light in his eyes.
"I understand. Many thanks for your guidance." Zheng Wenlong was extremely grateful for this.
"Alright, you can go. As long as you act in accordance with the Wealth God's directions, you are in the right. No matter what happens as a result, I will be there to support you," said Hua Mingxiong.
== Supply and demand ==
"Speaking of which, we conduct business through spirit stones, so after gradually selling these medicinal ingredients off and deducting the normal service charge, we can send you a large amount of spirit stones," said Zheng Wenlong.
That was because in accordance with the Business Dao, only rare things had value. If they took out these many medicinal sprouts and sold them all at once, their profits would shrink.
They would definitely have to split them up and auction them over time. Furthermore, small auctions didn't have the ability to auction off such precious medicinal sprouts, as there was limited purchasing power there. So they definitely needed to come up with a plan first.
