Chapter 181.1

Formations can be regarded as a basic skill of every cultivator. After all, formations have a wide range of applications. Whether it is used to protect areas or to manufacture magical items, the use of formations is indispensable.

Large formations are okay, as long as you have land, maps, and money, one can use spirit stones to pile up one of these things.

When it comes to small formations though, they mainly depend on the skill of the person who carved the formation.

A cultivator is far stronger than ordinary people in terms of perseverance and mental energy. But even then, engraving a small formation is not a small burden for most cultivators.

There are extremely high requirements for accuracy, and both actions must be done at the same time. Taking into account both true energy infusion and spiritual sense infusion, both are indispensable.

When a small formation is engraved, it is equivalent to a surgeon doing precision surgery for several hours in a row, which consumes a lot of physical strength and mental energy.

Therefore, what restricts the establishment of large formations is financial resources; while what restricts the engraving of small formations is ability.

There are many talents in Yunjian Pavilion, and there are many masters, but there are only a few people who are good at engraving small formations, and they can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, although Yunjian Pavilion is a superpower, it has always been relatively weak in the production of magical items.

But right now, when the small pen invented by Feng Shao appeared in front of Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao, they immediately realized that the opportunity for Yunjian Pavilion had come.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Fengtian said, “Feng Shao, what are your plans for this small pen? Do you want to sell it as a magical item, or keep it as a special product?”

Feng Shao said with a smile, “Father-in-law should have already thought of the special features of this small pen, right? Therefore, this small pen is not intended to be sold, but to be kept as a strategic material, and occasionally as an important item.

They will be given as gifts, but they will never be shipped in large quantities. But if it is for Yunjian Pavilion, it is another matter.”

Lin Fengtian said meaningfully, “It seems that you, kid, want to do business with me? If that’s the case, then I’ll make a price for you directly. A single pen is 100,000 spirit stones. I’ll pay as much as you have. How much do you have?”

Feng Shao couldn’t help being surprised, “Father-in-law, the cost of this small pen is actually not high, you don’t need it at all…”

Before Feng Shao finished speaking, Lin Fengtian shook his head and said, “There is no need to say much about the value of this small pen. What I value is not its cost, but the wealth it can bring us. With a pen like this, we can earn back ten times or even a hundred times in a short period of time, so I am not at a loss. As a member of my family, I can’t take advantage of you, right?”

Feng Shao rolled his eyes and said, “Father-in-law, my son-in-law has other plans regarding this little pen.”

“Oh? Then talk about it carefully.”

Feng Shao talked eloquently, “Although the cost of this small pen is not high, it is still quite troublesome to make. It took the son-in-law more than a month to make only these two. I have to say that in the process of artifact refining, the son-in-law’s ability is really limited. That’s why I thought maybe we could cooperate with Yunjian Pavilion to develop this small pen.”

Lin Fengtian immediately understood what Feng Shao meant, “You want me to take care of the craftsmen to help you mass-produce these small pens?”

“That’s right!” Feng Shao nodded, “According to the price offered by my father-in-law, I will get 30% of each pen, and the rest will go to Yunjian Pavilion.”

With the ability of Yunjian Pavilion, the efficiency of making this kind of small pen is naturally much higher than that of Feng Shao alone. Unless Feng Shao really builds up his own power, the production of this kind of thing can really only be handed over to Yunjian Pavilion.

Feng Shao sold the patent to Yunjian Pavilion and took 30% of the commission for himself.

Most of the small pens produced by Yunjian Pavilion are produced for themselves and sometimes sold.

Then a small part is directly handed over to Feng Shao.

Out of the need to win over, Feng Shao will circulate this small pen in a small range, but will definitely not supply a large amount of it to the market.

It’s like selling small pens as ammunition.

After the two settled down, Lin Fengtian smiled and said, “Feng Shao, Feng Shao, you can really surprise me. First, you suddenly got me a grandson, and then you brought out this good thing. Do you seriously not consider joining Yunjian Pavilion? If you join Yunjian Pavilion, then the position of the future Pavilion Master is sure to be yours.”

Feng Shao said with a smile, “I’m seriously thankful and ashamed of my father-in-law’s love. It’s just that son-in-law has other ambitions, so I can only live up to my father-in-law’s expectations.”

“Okay! Everyone has their own aspirations, and we can’t force them.” Lin Fengtian stood up and said to Lin Xiaoran, “Ran’er, you have been away from home for so many days, so spend more time with your mother today! As for your husband, your Dad still has something to talk to him about.”

Lin Xiaoran nodded, and said with some concern, “You can’t bully brother Shao!”

Lin Fengtian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said, “She is really turning her elbows outward! Don’t worry, I don’t dare to bully him, what if he takes revenge on my daughter?”

As soon as this remark came out, several people laughed.
