At the beginning of the three thousand Taoist scriptures, I became a saint

Chapter 417 Black Eat Black

Wan Bao'er took out a jade book from the storage treasure, handed it to Jiang Chen respectfully, and said:

"Senior brother, this is the book of treasures. The treasures to be auctioned this time, including the most precious ones, are all recorded in this book. Senior brother, take a look and see if you like it. If you like something, just tell the junior sister, and the junior sister directly Get it for your brother."

There is no reason to give away the auction items that are regarded as Haotou's publicity without going through the auction.This is obviously against the rules, and will even damage Wanbaoge's reputation.

It's impossible for Wan Bao'er not to know this, or in other words, it's because she knows that she must do this.She was using this method to express how much she valued Jiang Chen. In order to please Jiang Chen, she would rather violate the rules of Wanbao Pavilion.

Jiang Chen was a little speechless in his heart, he didn't feel that Patriarch Wanbao owed him a lot of favor.

He has a cooperative relationship with the ancestor Wanbao. The ancestor Wanbao helped him promote the improved grain and protected him.Isn't it normal and reasonable to get some benefits from him?
The so-called cooperation naturally means mutual benefit, and in the previous cooperation, Jiang Chen got benefits, and Wanbao Patriarch also got benefits. It can be said that it was a perfect cooperation.

In this case, if the ancestor Wanbao owed him a favor, that would be over.

Taking the treasure book from Wan Bao'er, Jiang Chen made up his mind that no matter what treasures were on it, he would never show any interest.If he really wants to see some treasure, it's not that he has no money to buy it, so there's no need to take advantage of others.

The main reason is that the relationship between Jiang Chen and Wan Bao'er is really not that familiar. If Li Qingzhao and Zhao Wan'er said so, he might agree.

In the cultivation world, it is much more uncomfortable to owe favors than to owe money.It's enough to pay back the money owed, but to owe favors, who knows what to pay...

Since you don't feel that others owe you anything, then don't take advantage of others, lest you owe others favors in a muddle, and it will be too late to regret it.

Jiang Chen touched the Book of Ten Thousand Treasures, and felt a familiar feeling. The material used to make this thing should be the same jade as that used to make the Book of Black and Yellow. Refined out of the method.

The book of myriad treasures is not thick, only one finger thick, but there are many treasures recorded on it, there are hundreds of kinds.

Jiang Chen opened it, and immediately saw strands of bright brilliance blooming from the book of treasures, turning into a pair of lights and shadows in mid-air.

It was the same when Jiang Chen read the Xuanhuang Book back then. He turned the content inside into light and shadow and projected it, which looked lifelike.

"It's pretty good, but unfortunately, there is no treasure I need inside."

After quickly glancing at the treasures on the book, Jiang Chen closed the book of treasures, and handed it to Su He who was beside him with a face full of curiosity.

This sentence is true, there are hundreds of treasures promoted by Wanbao Pavilion as a gimmick, but the treasures selected from the tens of thousands of treasures are all rare ones, and the worst ones are also fourth grade, all of them are good things.

It’s true that it’s a good thing, but it’s also true that Jiang Chen doesn’t like it. His vision is too high. What is good in the eyes of ordinary people is just an ordinary thing in his eyes, so naturally it can’t attract his attention.

"Even these treasures can't attract the attention of senior brother. It seems that senior brother is here for those ancient relics."

Hearing that Jiang Chen didn't set his sights on those treasures, Wan Bao'er's eyes flashed a trace of disappointment, and then quickly changed the subject, talking about the ancient relics.

"Ancient relics, as the name suggests, are treasures handed down from ancient times. However, gods are self-defeating. You can't tell good or bad just by looking at them. You need to rely on your senses or strong eyesight."

"This is very similar to gambling stones in the mortal world. No one knows whether the treasure is good or bad without showing its true face."

The ancient relic is too special. After all, tens of thousands of years have passed since the ancient times. After such a long time, even if it is really a divine relic, how much power is left under the erosion of time?

Therefore, buying ancient relics is really a matter of luck.If it has not been eroded by the years and its strength is still there, then it is naturally profitable to buy it.Conversely, if the treasure has decayed over the years and turned into waste, it is a loss.

"It's a gamble on luck, if you have it, you will be happy, if you don't have it, it's okay, as long as you don't get on top."

Jiang Chen's mentality is very good. The huge merits on his body are his confidence. This time, he will never return empty-handed.If you can't even do this, your merits won't be sought after by so many people.

"You're right. Senior brother is a person of great merit and good fortune. Even if there were no treasures before, treasures will appear after senior brother arrives. You don't have to worry about losing money."

"However, the auction of the ancient relics will not start until evening, and I have to trouble my brother to wait a little longer."

Wan Baoer nodded first, and then informed Jiang Chen of the auction time of the ancient relics.

This time, she didn't say anything to ask Jiang Chen to choose first, because many big forces are targeting the ancient relics, if there are a few missing suddenly, it will cause big trouble.

If she were the owner of Wanbao Pavilion, she would naturally be able to be the owner, but unfortunately she is not.Taoist Wanbao, the current owner of Wanbao Pavilion, is still trapped in the secret realm and has not come out yet.

……

…………

Amidst the voices of everyone talking, the time passed by every minute and every second. At a certain moment, Wan Baoer suddenly shouted: "The auction is about to start, brother, please look ahead!"

Jiang Chen looked up, and saw a young girl holding a jade box, walking lightly to the platform in the center of the hall.

Inside the jade box was a red fruit exuding pure aura, one could tell it was extraordinary just by looking at it.

"What is going to be auctioned this time is a hundred-year-old vermilion fruit, a fourth-grade treasure medicine, which can increase one's cultivation for a hundred years after eating it." Wan Baoer introduced after the maid came to the stage.

Jiang Chen just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.If it was the vermilion fruit tree, he might have taken a look at it, but vermilion fruit, no.

Jiang Chen didn't care, but the ordinary monks in the hall did, they came here to buy treasures that could increase their cultivation.And this century-old vermilion fruit can increase the cultivation base of a hundred years, which is exactly what they need.

As a result, the atmosphere below suddenly rose, and many monks started bidding with each other.The atmosphere was really much warmer than the atmosphere at the auction in Jiang Chen's previous life, just like something written in a novel.

Of course, the bidders were all ordinary monks, and monks like Jiang Chen in the VIP room did not participate in the competition.Zhu Guo's level is still too low, so I don't know what will happen to them.

In this warm atmosphere, one piece of treasure was brought onto the stage, and then after a round of fierce competition, it was auctioned off...

Those who didn't win the competition had disappointment on their faces, and those who won the competition didn't necessarily have happy faces.

The meaning of the existence of the auction is to increase the value of the auction item. If a group of people compete for a treasure, the price will definitely skyrocket, and even exceed its own value.Under such circumstances, how many people will be happy after taking pictures of the treasure?

"Wanbao Pavilion can make a lot of money this time?"

Jiang Chen didn't see the treasure he was interested in, so he turned his head and chatted with Wan Baoer beside him.

"Brother, you are joking. Wanbao Pavilion only earns a commission. The real earners are those businessmen from all over the world."

Wan Bao'er is not lying, it must be the merchants who made the big profits, if Wanbao Pavilion made the big profits, those merchants would have run away long ago and would never come again, instead of holding the auctions one after another.

Lao Tzu worked so hard to travel all over the world, but ended up working for Wanbao Pavilion. The merchants in Xuanhuang Realm are not Jiang Chen's previous life's bulls and horses.

"Those merchants..."

"To be honest, this auction has been held for so many years, have you ever tried to rob those merchants?"

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

Killing and setting fire to the golden belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses, no matter where you are, the fastest way to get money is to buy and sell without money.

At the end of each auction, those merchants will make a lot of money, and the fat will flow. Jiang Chen doesn't believe it, the monks in Xuanhuang Realm are so kind, they don't eat the fat that comes to their door.Someone must have taken the risk and shot these businessmen.

Of course, the purpose of Jiang Chen's question was not to attack those businessmen.Who is he, Jiang Chen?How could the great sage of Dongzhou, a model of morality, do such a thing as murder and robbery?

His purpose of asking this question was mainly for black people to eat black people.Although those businessmen were treacherous, they were doing serious business after all, robbing them was too much psychological burden, Jiang Chen couldn't pass the test in his heart, and couldn't do it.

But if he was black and black and robbed those guys who robbed the merchants, then he would have no psychological burden.

People who can do things like killing people and stealing goods are obviously not good things. Killing them is killing harm for the people and is a good thing. It’s too late to be happy. How can there be psychological burdens?
"Ah this..."

Wan Baoer is not as far-sighted as Jiang Chen. When she heard Jiang Chen's question, she thought it was Jiang Chen who had the idea of ​​robbing those merchants, so she couldn't help persuading her carefully: "Senior brother, my Zixu Palace is an orthodox sect. It’s not good to kill and get more money.”

"Senior Sister Wan, what are you talking about? Senior Brother, with his status, how could he do such lowly things as killing people and stealing goods?"

"Brother asks this question mainly because he wants to know what kind of confidence those businessmen have, and dare to do such a big business."

"You know, the Xuanhuang Realm is not peaceful. There is a danger of being attacked by people on Duye Road, let alone carrying a large number of treasures and traveling around to do business. Isn't that a disaster?"

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Ye Qing couldn't help but retort.

He also didn't guess Jiang Chen's thoughts, but Ye Qing knew that Jiang Chen was definitely not that kind of person, so he came up with a reason himself.

To be honest, after hearing Ye Qing's words, Jiang Chen was also a little speechless. He still doesn't know how he left the impression of being a gentleman in the eyes of outsiders.

Look at the things he did, using the son to hold the mother, using the son to count the father (referring to Long Yi's calculation of his parents), sowing right and wrong (referring to provoking the spirit clan and the demon clan), framing the blame (blaming the dragon clan)...

Which of these things can be related to being aboveboard?Although Jiang Chen is not a despicable person, he is not a gentleman either.He still has this self-knowledge. If he is a gentleman, then the requirements of a gentleman are really low enough.

A gentleman doesn't speak ill of others behind his back, just this, Jiang Chen can't do it, he's still a gentleman...

"Ye Qing said yes!"

Although what Ye Qing said and what Jiang Chen was thinking had completely different meanings, but at this time, how could Jiang Chen deny it?

It's fine if Ye Qing doesn't open his mouth, but he raised Jiang Chen so high, if Jiang Chen wants to be black, how can he say it...

What Wan Baoer was thinking in her heart, no one knew, but on the surface she believed Ye Qing's words, and only heard her say:
"Those businessmen seem to be casual cultivators and have no foundation, but in fact, none of them has the support of big forces behind them, otherwise the business would not be so big. They are all protected by experts, and generally there will be no murder and robbery."

"Of course, this is a normal situation. If you really earn too much, you can't rule out the possibility that some people choose to take risks. In short, every year, several unlucky businessmen are robbed and killed on the way."

Speaking of this, Wan Bao'er didn't know what came to mind, and added a sentence specially: "There are many incidents, and there are shadows of demon cultivators in them."

It's okay if she doesn't say this, Jiang Chen will understand as soon as she says it.There are indeed demon cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm, but thousands of years ago, they were driven to Nanzhou by the Sangong of Immortal Dao to accompany the barbarians.

The demon cultivators who are still in Dongzhou are often not successful, so how can they have the strength to kill and steal.Obviously, this was done by other forces and blamed on Moxiu afterwards.

Looking at Wan Bao'er's previous reaction, Jiang Chen could easily guess that there might be disciples of Zixu Palace in it.It's true that Zixu Palace can't do the business of killing people and stealing goods, but Zixu Palace's disciples can.

After all, these businessmen earn money from the disciples of Zixu Palace, so it is hard to guarantee that some people will not stand it anymore and become murderous...

If it is a disciple of Zixu Palace, it will be troublesome.It's really unreasonable to eat black and black on the same door.

To be honest, Jiang Chen insisted on doing something to these businessmen, not because of their money.The main reason is that they cut off the disciples of Zixu Palace as leeks.

Doing business normally, there is nothing to blame, but if you artificially create introversion, sell anxiety, and treat all the disciples of Zixu Palace as leeks, that is too much, you really think Zixu Palace is made of mud!
It can be said that the disciples of Zixu Palace have hated these merchants to the bottom of their hearts, that is, they couldn't find a suitable reason, otherwise they would have rushed up and tore all these merchants apart. It would be useless for anyone to come.

Whoever kills these merchants will immediately gain a huge reputation. It is for this reason that Jiang Chen thought of attacking these merchants.

As for these poor businessmen?Not guilty?What is there to be pitiful about profiteers?If the workers sympathize with the capitalists, then there is something wrong with their heads.
