"Therefore, I will suggest to Master Chunqiu to grant you authorization. You just need to print Master Chunqiu's logo, proving that you are the genuine article while other merchants are selling fakes. At the same time, Master Chunqiu will provide you with exclusive catalogs that won't be sold elsewhere. Even if some people don't care about authenticity, if they want to be the first to buy the latest styles, they can only come to Yulinglong."

This was something he had observed about the shops in this world: the goods sold had no concept of branding. The closest thing was a pill or spirit tool produced by a certain master. Even the large trading houses relied solely on high quality and a complete range of items.

However, he wasn't entirely sure if his plan would work. After all, the environment was different, and he didn't know much about the commerce in this world.

So, after finishing his explanation, Bai Feng turned to Yu Yao. "Senior Sister, do you think this will work? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Yu Yao's eyes widened, and she stared at him, almost frozen in place.

"Senior Sister? Hey?"

After several calls from Bai Feng, Yu Yao finally blinked and reached out to grab his head, examining him closely. "Let me see how your brain is structured!"

Bai Feng: "?"

"Little Junior Brother, you’re a genius!" Yu Yao's heart raced with excitement. "With the authorization, we can stand on a high ground of public opinion and point fingers at other shops. Those wealthy folks care most about their image. Even if other shops sell cheaper, they won't choose to buy fakes!"

This method seemed similar to the pills produced by masters, but in reality, it was entirely different. The pills were crafted by the masters themselves, while these trading houses could only sell on their behalf.

But authorization didn’t require the master’s involvement in production, yet it still carried the master’s anti-counterfeiting effect.

If they broadened their thinking a bit, could other products also be included...?

No, no, no, this method might not be entirely new; perhaps others had thought of it but failed, which is why no one knew about it. They should take it slow.

As for Bai Feng's proposed plan, she felt it could succeed. She was well aware of how popular Master Chunqiu's designs were.

With that thought, Yu Yao looked at Bai Feng with excitement. "I suddenly feel that being discovered together with you while looking at Chunqiu is a good thing."

Bai Feng: "?"

I’m trying to help you make money, and you’re thinking of turning against me?

"I'm just kidding, just kidding!" Yu Yao laughed and waved her hand. "Leave this to me, and I promise you and Master Chunqiu will make a fortune! By the way, let’s adjust the profit-sharing. Senior Sister can’t let you suffer. How about we split it fifty-fifty?"

"Sure, I trust you, Senior Sister."

Bai Feng nodded without hesitation. After all, he was only providing a design; everything else, from making the clothes to sales channels, was all handled by Yu Yao. This profit-sharing was incredibly generous.

He believed that soon, he might really achieve financial freedom!

Yes, once he achieved financial freedom, he wouldn’t have to exhaust himself building formations for others anymore.

Under the sun, Bai Feng sat under a tree on Danfeng, looking exhausted. He had only mentioned in passing to Lin Yan that he wanted to make some money by building formations, and the next day, his orders were overflowing.

And they were all from Danfeng.

"At least they’re all low-level formations."

Bai Feng activated a formation to ensure everything was fine before preparing to head back for a rest.

Then he noticed Su Lanqian seemingly hiding not far away, watching him intently.

‘Why do I feel like I’ve been running into her more often lately?’

Could Su Lanqian be following him?

As Bai Feng pondered how to shake her off, a sudden idea struck him.

With so many orders lately, he couldn’t handle them all alone. Should he hire a Palu to help?

And there just happened to be one available.

With that thought, he walked directly toward Su Lanqian. When she saw him approaching, she tried to escape, but the next second, Bai Feng blocked her path.

"Um... I-I didn’t mean to follow you!"

Su Lanqian lowered her head, her voice trembling like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Bai Feng smiled and feigned surprise. "Oh? So you were following me?"

"I-I... no, I wasn’t." Su Lanqian stammered even more, feeling like she wanted to dig a hole and hide.

Bai Feng didn’t tease her further but began his persuasion. "By the way, are you feeling better lately? Can you build formations now?"

Hearing that he wasn’t pressing her, Su Lanqian felt relieved and quickly nodded. "I’m feeling a bit better."

"How about trying some rehabilitation training? Want to build formations with me?" Bai Feng smiled. "Of course, I won’t let you help for free. I’ll give you some of my personal items."

Su Lanqian immediately looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She could get close to Bai Feng and receive his personal items? Was there anything better than this in the world?

Although she had vaguely realized the reason behind her inner demons, she had no idea how to eliminate them, so she still needed Bai Feng’s help to suppress her inner turmoil.

So she quickly nodded. "Yes, yes! Let me do it!"

Bai Feng’s smile grew wider—great, he had a free Palu at his disposal!

---

"Keep it up!"

Under the sun, Bai Feng gave Su Lanqian a thumbs-up.

Of course, he wasn’t so arrogant as to sit in a chair watching her work; they were genuinely working together.

"Hey, do you want some water?"

Su Lanqian held a jade bottle in her hand, her face slightly flushed, perhaps from exhaustion.

"Oh, thanks." Bai Feng took the bottle and drank a few sips without thinking much.

Su Lanqian took the empty bottle back, sneaking a glance at the opening before quickly stuffing it into her storage bag.

This job was great; she really hoped it could last forever.

She clasped her hands in front of her chest, fingers intertwined, and couldn’t help but pray in her heart.

Bai Feng had no idea what Su Lanqian was daydreaming about. He just wanted to finish the formation quickly and return to study his mini formation.

With the mini formation, his safety when going out would greatly increase.

After all, although he had the strength of a master in formations, he was limited by the immobility of the formations, and the simple formation plates he could carry couldn’t unleash his full potential.

But the emergence of "Qian Zhen" gave him a glimmer of hope. It not only solved the problem of carrying formations but also allowed him to fully utilize his formation skills. Even if he encountered a troublemaker, he would have a way to escape.

However, because of this, he was currently short on funds. Even the share he received from Yu Yao was far from enough.

"Sure enough, formation masters and alchemists are both big spenders!"

Bai Feng sighed. Although it seemed like he was earning a lot, he was also spending a lot!

Even Lin Yan, the favored child of fortune, had started frantically refining pills to make money.

After a busy day, Bai Feng exchanged the hard-earned money for a small pile of materials.

He sighed as he stored the materials in his storage bag. Although the Bai family supported him and provided a large sum of money at the beginning of each month, it still wasn’t enough.

After all, he wasn’t just learning formations; he was researching new formations, which required trial and error.

"Maybe after I finish the mini formation, I could make a few simplified versions and ask Senior Sister Yu Yao to help sell them?"

Bai Feng pondered. He felt that these mini formations could fetch a high price, especially since many wealthy families had young disciples. He was sure these rich folks would be willing to buy one for their children.

Just as he was about to head home to continue researching the mini formation, he noticed Su Lanqian was still following him.

"Oh right, I almost forgot." Bai Feng stopped and pulled out a square jade plate from his storage bag. "This is what I’ve been using to carve formations recently. Although it failed, it still retains some of my spiritual energy."

"Thank you."

Su Lanqian quickly reached out to take it, feeling the residual spiritual energy belonging to Bai Feng.

Hmm, once she got back, she could polish it and turn it into a protective talisman to wear around her neck!

As the two chatted, a few disciples passed by. Upon seeing them, they quickly took a few steps back, instinctively avoiding them.

"Does it feel like Bai Shixiong and Su Shijie are getting closer?"

"Yeah, I saw them building formations together today. Su Shijie even handed Bai Shixiong some water."

"Speaking of which, didn’t Su Shijie ask Bai Shixiong for personal items before?"

"Truly a genius in formations; even flirting is on a different level than us common folks."

Thus, strange rumors about Bai Feng began to spread.

In fact, these rumors spread rapidly to Fengling Sect.
