Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 20: Baojianzhai

Always stay with me.

Originally, Chu Wujiang thought that his martial arts skills were sufficient.

As the patriarch of the Chu family, he has hundreds of servants who are capable of fighting.

When necessary, Chu Wujiang could gather an army of thousands of people to fight the enemy.

What era is this? Who still wants to fight alone?

As a result, the invitation letter sent by the young marquis Lu Ce and the leaked information made Chu Wujiang feel a sense of crisis.

Like walking on thin ice and facing the abyss.

It is not easy to be the son of a noble family.

Regardless of whether it is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, the Zhenhai Marquisate, or the Prince of the East China Sea who come to the Ghost Festival, the Chu family is unwilling to surrender, so naturally there are many crises.

So Chu Wujiang prepared to go out shopping, check out the treasures in major antique shops, and collect luck as soon as possible.

The more luck he has, the stronger he will naturally be.

Of course, the son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall.

Chu Wujiang doesn't want to play the white dragon fish suit.

Before setting off, he asked the old butler to take out the best treasures in the treasury and arm himself to the teeth.

The old butler naturally would not object:
"Sir, this black tortoise armor was left by our ancestor."

"Even a full-strength attack from a Yuan Dan realm expert can save your life."

Chu Wujiang's eyes lit up. He liked this kind of treasure.

This set of armor is hard and heavy, made of top-grade black iron, with mysterious runes engraved on the surface, making it look solemn and mysterious.

Good weight!

Chu Wujiang put on his armor and couldn't help but gasp.

He is now a master of body building, and although he seems to have only mastered the basics of martial arts, he can still lift a bronze tripod weighing thousands of pounds.

In his previous life, Chu Wujiang was braver than any strongman, and with his iron-skinned body, ordinary pistols could not do anything to him.

But now that Chu Wujiang put on this precious armor, his body actually collapsed downwards and he could hardly support himself.

squeak!
Chu Wujiang's bones creaked as he bore the weight of the armor. The old butler quickly lifted up the armor and injected a huge amount of vital energy into it.

The huge vital energy immediately activated the patterns on the armor, emitting a faint blue light, and Chu Wujiang's body became lighter.

The old butler said slowly:
"Sir, this armor must be at least at the stage of great perfection before it can be used."

"I will inject vitality into it, enough for two days."

Chu Wujiang stretched his muscles and bones, feeling the feeling of wearing the armor. He was only carrying a few hundred kilograms of weight, so it didn't affect him much. He said with satisfaction:
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu. With these, I won't be afraid of villains."

The old butler needs to stay in the Chu Mansion to prevent villains from lurking in the dark and stealing secrets and treasures.

But Chu Wujiang was still accompanied by two Yuandan realm masters.

Even if the Marquis of Zhenhai came to kill them personally, they would be able to resist for a while and wait for the old butler to come for support.

Chu Wujiang made all the necessary arrangements before leaving the Chu Mansion and heading to Longcheng's famous antique street in a bright and mighty manner.

……

Dragon City, Baojianzhai
This is the eighth antique shop Chu Wujiang has found.

As he expected, there was not a single authentic item in the first seven antique shops.

The authentic items here do not refer to antiques, but secret treasures of fortune.

In the past two days, Chu Wujiang had come all the way from the Chu family's [Edict of Conferring Nobility], the [Binlian Ruimu] of the Jingping Marquis Mansion, and the [Statue of the Sea God] of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion. He couldn't help but have some fantasies in his mind, thinking that the secret treasure of luck was not that rare.

As a result, after wandering around all this time, he confirmed how rare this treasure was.

In order to avoid being discovered for his ability to detect luck, Chu Wujiang spent nearly a hundred taels of silver to buy some antique calligraphy and paintings while visiting these antique shops, just to hide his tracks.

It made the owners of major antique shops sweat profusely.

Lord Chu, the most famous person in Longcheng, only bought such a small amount of things. The meaning was very clear.

You don't have anything good here, but I'll give you some face.

Hope to see something good next time.

The shopkeepers quickly responded:
"As long as there is something auspicious, we will be the first to deliver it to the Chu Mansion."

Having said that, Chu Wujiang couldn't kill them.

Just walking along the way, my mood became not so good.

Coach Wang was a man of taste. He introduced:

"Sir, there are no good products from other families. They are all unscrupulous merchants who like to mix fake goods with real goods."

"But this Baojianzhai is extraordinary. It is said to be a store under Fengyulou. There are many treasures in the store."

Chu Wujiang listened to Master Wang's introduction and looked towards the last one, Baojianzhai. "Then let's take a look."

Before the two of them entered the door, Manager Chen of Baojianzhai rushed out like a rabbit with its tail on fire and bowed deeply:
"Lord Longcheng is visiting me. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me!"

Shopkeeper Chen is of medium build and well-proportioned figure. He exudes a shrewd and capable appearance and looks like a shrewd businessman.

Chu Wujiang said nothing, but glanced at Coach Wang, who immediately ordered:
"Young Master, there is no need to be so polite when traveling."

"Quickly take out all the treasures in your Baojianzhai and let the young master play with them."

Shopkeeper Chen shouted quickly:
"Don't worry, sir. After I heard about it, I have already asked people to make preparations."

"Sir, please come in!"

The Chu Mansion had already sent someone to notify them in advance and asked them to prepare everything to avoid being in a hurry.

Chu Wujiang nodded and stepped into the hall of Baojianzhai.

A dazzling array of sights.

There are porcelain, pottery figurines, bronze ware, gold and silver wares, calligraphy and paintings, and so on.

In order to welcome Chu Wujiang's arrival, Baojianzhai even hung up a sign indicating that it was closed, just to serve him.

Not only that, the entire Baojianzhai entered a state of full alert.

The reason is also very simple.

Shopkeeper Chen is not a fool. He knows how sensitive Chu Wujiang’s identity is in Longcheng now.

If someone took the opportunity to assassinate or harm Chu Wujiang, then underworld forces like Fengyu Tower would also be implicated.

So Baojianzhai closed immediately and did not welcome any other guests.

Chu Wujiang didn't know how much trouble his trip had caused to Manager Chen. He was very satisfied with Baojianzhai's measures to ensure his absolute safety.

It’s just that these things are not as good as expected.

[Strange, when I walked into Baojianzhai, the Heavenly Book felt something.]

[There should indeed be a secret treasure of luck here. 】

Chu Wujiang walked around and asked in a deep voice:

"Manager Chen, is that all?"

"There's nothing. Did you forget to take it out?"

Shopkeeper Chen said quickly:
"Lord Longcheng, over the past decade, every family has been acquiring this fortune secret treasure."

"The price of these antiques has been rising rapidly, all thanks to you, my Lord."

"Everything that can be sold in Baojianzhai is here."

"Look, sir. This jade hairpin with a blue dragon pattern and this Ge kiln porcelain stove are both auspicious objects."

Chu Wujiang remained silent, but felt something was wrong.

"You said everything that can be sold is here?"

So is there anything that can’t be sold?

Coach Wang was also a smart man, and he immediately scolded:
"Manager Chen, the young master came here specially to take care of the business of Baojianzhai, and you dared to hide it!"

Shopkeeper Chen broke out in a cold sweat. He waved his hands and said:
"How dare you, how dare you."

"All the treasures of Baojianzhai are here."

"These are auspicious things."

Chu Wujiang sneered and grabbed Shopkeeper Chen, making him terrified:

"Shopkeeper Chen, I forgot to tell you."

"This young master can tell whether this is an auspicious object or not."

Shopkeeper Chen was shocked:
"Sir, you also have golden eyes?"

Chu Wujiang came to his senses after hearing this and said angrily:
"Great, so you can tell whether it is an auspicious object or not."

"Are you going to deceive me here?"

Just as Manager Chen was about to struggle to explain, a maid's voice came from outside the door:
"Shopkeeper Chen, has the Dragon Wing Sword that my young lady ordered arrived?"

"That is the treasure left behind by the former champion Hou Nangong Wang."

"You said it well, it can help people prosper in martial arts."

Ok?
Chu Wujiang's eyes became sharp.

Shopkeeper Chen suddenly felt his legs go weak. He was about to explain when Chu Wujiang interrupted him:
"Shopkeeper Chen, I don't want to hear the explanation."

"Just tell me who told you to do this."
