After all, it was just channels, requiring little cost from him. If Zhu Dafu took a larger share, he would have more motivation to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhu Dafu's final request, it suited Ye Qingxuan perfectly. He could give Zhu Dafu fame and glory, because Ye Qingxuan did not care about these things; as long as the actual benefits belonged to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although he wanted to remain in seclusion behind the scenes, it did not mean he was willing to let Tianfu Shop completely escape his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after pondering for a moment, Ye Qingxuan said in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can agree to the conditions you mentioned, but you must agree to a few of my requirements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What requirements?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ye Qingxuan agreed, Zhu Dafu suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paying no attention to Zhu Dafu's reaction, Ye Qingxuan directly stated his requirements:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, your commission on the channels must not be lower than the market price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, to supplement low-grade products, Tianfu Shop had only charged a 25% commission to the alchemists, talisman-makers, artifact-refiners, and array-masters who cooperated with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the market, since the Xuantian Sect charges shops a 20% transaction fee, the normal commission for shop cooperation is 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, since Tianfu Shop did not expand, it did not affect the market of the bazaar; signing a few people at a 25% commission was insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Tianfu Shop expands in the future and still cooperates at low commission rates, poaching from other shops, this would undoubtedly make enemies of all the shops in the bazaar, which is not what Ye Qingxuan wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Ye Qingxuan established this rule as a precaution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is no problem; I agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this requirement of Ye Qingxuan, Zhu Dafu agreed decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dafu was not foolish; he knew the consequences of breaking the unwritten rules and offending everyone, so he strongly supported this point as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Zhu Dafu agreed to this point, Ye Qingxuan nodded and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, you must swear a Dao Oath to abide by the following three points:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, as long as you hold a position at Tianfu Shop for one day, you must obey my orders regarding all matters related to Tianfu Shop; second, you must not reveal my existence or any information about me; third, you must not intentionally do anything that harms my interests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first point places extremely strong constraints on Zhu Dafu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhu Dafu gritted his teeth, his eyes like those of a gambler, and finally nodded firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching an agreement with Zhu Dafu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan had the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, withdraw and handed Tianfu Shop over to Zhu Dafu for management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, the public manager of Tianfu Shop became Zhu Dafu. Having learned from previous failures, Zhu Dafu did not act rashly after taking over Tianfu Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first recruited two shopkeepers from the Xuantian Sect to guard Tianfu Shop, then began visiting various low-grade alchemists, talisman-makers, artifact-refiners, and array-masters within the Xuantian Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most alchemists, talisman-makers, artifact-refiners, and array-masters had already reached agreements with other shops, there were always some who slipped through the net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much running around and busy work, Zhu Dafu managed to find quite a few alchemists, talisman-makers, artifact-refiners, and array-masters below the Fourth Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then went to various Blessed Lands to visit those from the former Blessed Cultivator Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Zhu Dafu's earnest persuasion, most people finally agreed to sell the output from their Blessed Lands at Tianfu Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were many Blessed Cultivators who cultivated the Four Arts of Cultivation, allowing Zhu Dafu to immediately solve the supply problem for First-Rank goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time all these preparations were completed, half a year had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with Ye Qingxuan's approval, Zhu Dafu used Tianfu Shop's funds to increase the deposit to one million mid-grade spirit stones and upgraded Tianfu Shop to a medium-sized shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After upgrading to a medium-sized shop, Tianfu Shop not only expanded its area but also changed from a single-story building to a two-story pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, Zhu Dafu once again expanded the number of employees to eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan merely observed these developments silently and controlled some details, leaving the rest for Zhu Dafu to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only requirement for the channels was the quality of the products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Tianfu Shop developed was that the quality of the elixirs refined by Ye Qingxuan was superior to others, gradually attracting popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to avoid affecting the shop's reputation, quality control was crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, to protect the existing customer base from being affected by the shop's expansion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after the shop expanded, Ye Qingxuan stamped all products from the Qingxuan Blessed Land with a \"Xuan\" mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These products bearing the \"Xuan\" mark had a dedicated counter in the expanded Tianfu Shop, and their prices were slightly higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was to distinguish products from the Qingxuan Blessed Land from channel products, and also an attempt by Ye Qingxuan to build his own exclusive brand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, if the products from the Qingxuan Blessed Land maintained their quality advantage, gained fame, and secured a fixed customer base,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then whether Zhu Dafu could succeed in the channel business would have little impact on Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhu Dafu succeeded, that would be better; if he failed, it would not matter much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Qingxuan's main contributions were the Tianfu Shop's reputation, the deposit for expanding Tianfu Shop, and the labor costs after expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the profits from the channel business were damaged, the impact on Ye Qingxuan would not be significant; this was the main reason Ye Qingxuan had easily agreed to Zhu Dafu's proposal earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After no longer managing the shop, the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, could devote more time to the Four Arts of Cultivation, needing only to deliver goods to Tianfu Shop on a rotating daily basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their talents in these areas were not outstanding, under Ye Qingxuan's guidance and with abundant resources for cultivation, both made breakthroughs by the end of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Zhaoheng became a First-Rank Alchemist, and Ye Zhaoyu became a First-Rank Artifact-Refiner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Dao of Talismans and the Dao of Arrays, although both made progress, they had not yet achieved significant breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed; amidst Zhu Dafu's busyness, the year quickly went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan, meanwhile, remained undisturbed by external things, advancing step by step according to his own rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1270,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","7cc82885e4f5848934d93216265168bdcc25d649b515fe70bb563a02abb951a4","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-68","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-66",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
