Chapter 207: Jiang Renhuang's things are very valuable
Although the Ruyi Gourd behaved strangely, Jiang Li did not think of it as a spiritual treasure transforming.
The hatred had been aroused, and Jiang Li was just waiting for the meeting to end. He no longer focused on the stage.
"I know that all of you fellow Taoists are looking forward to these last three items." The old auctioneer did not keep the suspense and lifted the curtain to reveal an ordinary brush.
Jiang Li always felt that this thing looked familiar.
Confucianist Wang Bian and Dean Meng breathed heavier unconsciously, appearing extremely anxious.
They attended the auction today just for this thing.
"I believe everyone has guessed it. That's right. This is the brush used by Jiang Li, the current emperor and the only Mahayana cultivator!"
"!!!" Jiang Li's eyes suddenly widened.
"Excuse me, how can your Chamber of Commerce prove that this is the brush used by Emperor Jiang Renhuang?" Wang Bian asked.
"Haha, don't be anxious, Fellow Daoist Wang Bian, just listen to my introduction. Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is well-known throughout the nine provinces, and we certainly won't ruin our reputation."
The old auctioneer introduced calmly: "As everyone knows, after leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Renhuang joined the Huayun Sect, and is also a good friend of Yun Bo, the current Grand Elder of the Huayun Sect."
"This brush was provided by Yunbo. It is said that Emperor Jiang Renhuang used this brush to record the income and expenditure of Huayun Sect five hundred years ago, and helped Huayun Sect to revive."
The old auctioneer showed a certificate written by Yunbo himself and dripped with blood.
"After Emperor Jiang Ren left Huayun Sect, Yunbo, remembering his kindness, kept this brush as a treasure and didn't let it get dusty at all."
"Now that Huayun Sect has caught up with the trend of spiritual treasures generating spiritual wisdom, we want to expand the sect and need spiritual stones. That's why I reluctantly sell the brushes."
"The Chamber of Commerce has verified this brush based on historical records and various sources, and finally confirmed that this brush is the one used by Emperor Jiang!"
"Starting price: one hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
"Ahem!" Jiang Li was shocked by the price. "This brush isn't even a spiritual treasure, how could it be so valuable?"
It's true that I use this brush myself, but the price is a bit outrageous.
"Brother, you are surprised by what you have never seen before." Someone explained to Jiang Li, "What is Huayun Sect? It is the place where Emperor Jiang made his fortune. This brush has been used by Emperor Jiang, which already makes it very expensive, not to mention that it was used in Huayun Sect. This is a cultural relic that cannot be bought with money! It is priceless!"
"You know that Dean Meng, he is a famous collector in the Jiang Renhuang cultural relic world. This brush is a symbol of Jiang Renhuang's status in the cultural relic world!"
"???"
"There is also Wang Bian, a Confucianist. He is a famous analyst in Jiang Renhuang's literary world and he admires Jiang Renhuang's works the most. This brush has been with Jiang Renhuang for several months. As a literati, who wouldn't want to get this brush!"
"???"
“Whoever can get this brush may be able to get some inspiration from Emperor Jiang and become as talented as Emperor Jiang.”
"It's a pity that I'm just a small businessman and I don't have enough spiritual stones, otherwise I would have bought this brush and blessed my son's head."
"???"
After listening to the introduction, Jiang Li's mind was full of questions.
Is it that I can’t keep up with the trend? What the hell are these Jiang Renhuang cultural relics circles and Jiang Renhuang literary circles!
Ruyi Gourd was also listening nearby and it felt that it could not understand the human race's way of thinking.
Just when Jiang Li and Ruyi Gourd were confused, the brush had already been auctioned off for a sky-high price of seven hundred and eighty high-quality spirit stones.
This much money can buy a good quality fusion stage technique book.
"Are the things you used so valuable?"
Ruyi Gourd has a new understanding of Jiang Li's financial resources. Jiang Renhuang will never be short of spirit stones in his life. Looking at the situation, maybe he can sell the candied haws sticks he has eaten for a good price.
"I just found out about this today too." Jiang Li didn't know what expression he should make.
In the end, Dean Meng was financially well-off enough to buy the brush home.
"Frame it when we get back and hang it in the most conspicuous place. Please come and see it, fellow practitioners." Dean Meng has already thought about the next step.
"The second treasure is the calligraphy of Emperor Jiang Ren. The meaning of the words has been explained by many great masters, but no unified answer has been obtained. What exactly does this sentence mean and what does Emperor Jiang Ren want to express are mysteries that the cultivation world has not been able to solve so far."
The old auctioneer showed a small piece of paper and after using magic to magnify it, everyone could see the words on the paper clearly.
Odd changes but even remains unchanged; the sign depends on the quadrant.
Jiang Li covered his face.
This is the mnemonic he left behind when he was bored in Huayun Sect and made up function problems to solve by himself.
"I heard a great master in the fusion stage explain that 'odd' and 'even' refer to odd and even days, 'symbol' is the secret code left by Emperor Jiang Ren, and 'quadrant' refers to filling the secret code in the appropriate place."
"What this sentence means is that in a place where single-day changes occur but double-day changes do not, by filling in the appropriate symbol in the 'quadrant', you can unlock the treasure left by Emperor Jiang Ren."
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
"This sounds like nonsense and heresy," someone objected.
Jiang Li nodded slightly.
The man went on to say, "'奇' is a homophone of '鸡'. 奇变 means 鸡变, which means chopping the chicken into small pieces. '偶' is a homophone of '藕'. 偶变 means 藕变, which means the whole lotus root does not break apart."
"The symbol refers to the rune that controls firepower, and looking at the quadrant refers to looking at the four signs in the starry sky."
"This sentence is about stewing chicken pieces and whole lotus roots together, and adjusting the heat according to the changes in the starry sky."
"This is the only way to make the old hen stewed with lotus root that Emperor Jiang likes the most."
What the hell is this old hen stewed with lotus root?! Isn’t candied haws my favorite?
"May I ask, brother, who said that Emperor Jiang likes to eat old hen stewed with lotus root the most?"
"It is said that when Emperor Jiang was touring Youshan, he suddenly felt hungry and went to a nearby village to eat. When the people learned that it was the Emperor, they happily slaughtered an old hen and entertained Emperor Jiang. After eating the old hen stewed with lotus roots, Emperor Jiang praised it highly."
"Didn't Emperor Jiang practice fasting? Why are you still hungry?" Jiang Li asked.
"I don't know about that, but that's what everyone is saying."
Jiang Li felt that today's auction was truly eye-opening.
"Although the meaning of this sentence is unclear, it is indeed the handwriting of Emperor Jiang Ren. Whoever gets this note may have a chance to comprehend Emperor Jiang Ren's meaning."
"Starting price: one thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Compared to the brush, this note was obviously more valuable. Wang Bian and Dean Meng refused to give in to each other, and the price soared.
In the end, Wang Bian purchased Jiang Renhuang's calligraphy for 2,123 high-quality spirit stones.
"It seems like everyone is in high spirits." The old man who presided over the auction could hardly stop grinning. This was a 15% commission, and their Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money this time.
"Please welcome today's highlight - the heavenly book left by Emperor Jiang Ren!"
Jiang Li stood up suddenly and stared at the book intently.
This is a second-year novel he wrote in his previous life after traveling to Kyushu! It says, "How dare you go against the king's will?", "I am not afraid of being the enemy of the world?", "I grant you death, it is your honor" and "Those who have fallen into darkness will always yearn for light."
This is something that must not be seen by others!
