Chapter 185: The Low-Key Upstart



In the black market of Sanjiangkou Town outside Yunzhou

, Lin Jiang put up a sign on a stall with the things he wanted to buy. He was wearing a black robe and sitting on the stall. There

were many pedestrians, but not many people came to ask. The black market was not a big market, and there were few bargaining scenes. The whole black market remained strangely quiet. Even if there was communication, it was mainly through voice transmission.

Lin Jiang wanted to buy a lot of things. What he wanted most was to get another furnace of the main medicine of Rongling Pill. Before, in the Five Elements Sect, he and Wei Yunshen and others worked together to get a furnace, but there were still some extras. Two furnaces were not enough, so Lin Jiang came to the black market to try his luck.

In addition, he also wanted to buy a fourth-level demon pill for Xiao Shadiao. He wandered around Yunzhong City and looked at all medium-sized businesses, but he didn't see any fourth-level demon pills. This thing is still too rare.

After a night, Lin Jiang closed his stall and left, and returned to Yunzhong City again. Sanjiangkou Town is not far from Yunzhong City, and it is also a route that Yunzhong City focuses on protecting, so it is very safe.

Not long after returning to the station, he hurried to a certain business to participate in an auction. In order to avoid crowded auctions and reduce the flow of people, businesses in Yunzhong City will stagger the auctions.

This made Lin Jiang very busy. Since the beginning of the big celebration, he has not slept in the bed in the room of the station for many times.

After buying what he wanted, Lin Jiang continued to rush to the next store. In addition, he also asked Zhang Shuhua to help buy things. He was really overwhelmed. Lin Jiang wanted to refine an avatar immediately, but unfortunately, his strength was too weak to refine an avatar.

"Junior brother, how many things did you buy? I think you are busier than my father."

Zhang Shuhua handed Lin Jiang's things to him and asked Lin Jiang. Among the disciples of the entire Five Elements Sect who came here, Lin Jiang is the busiest.

"I didn't buy much, just bought casually."

"You can fool me, the money I bought and the money I saw you buy add up to more than one million spirit stones, right? I'm very curious, how much money do you have?"

Zhang Shuhua asked. There is no such thing as an annual report in the business of the cultivation world. No one knows how much money you make. He is very curious about how much money Lin Jiang has made in the past ten years. It's not just him, many people are curious.

"Brother, guess?"

"I can't guess."

"Brother, what do you think, taking the disciples of the sect as an example, who is the richest?"

"Alchemists"

"Alchemists are nothing,"

Lin Jiang said disdainfully. Among the four arts of cultivation, alchemists are the most important, and most people have the impression that alchemists are the richest.

But in fact, it is not the case. Just like in Blue Star, programmers are rich people in the eyes of ordinary people. Programmers in some large companies can easily earn millions of dollars a year. If they are at a higher level, it is possible to earn three or five million. They are definitely Internet upstarts.

But in reality, they are rich, but they cannot compete with those in certain industries, such as those who provide sand and gravel to construction sites in certain areas, or those who are backed by organizations, such as urban greening, or sanitation, etc. Of course, the latter cannot be workers, but bosses.

This is the case with Lin Jiang in the Five Elements Sect. Just the fact that he contracted restaurants for more than 100,000 people was a huge profit. He was also responsible for the supply of materials for some commonly used elixirs and talismans in the Dan Hall and the Fu Hall.

These elixirs and talismans are of very low level, and they are not worth anything individually, but when the number is increased, it is too terrifying.

Lin Jiang will not tell others how much he has earned. He can only say that it is more profitable than imagined. There is not a single disciple in the foundation-building stage of the entire Five Elements Sect whose wealth exceeds his, and it is difficult to make a golden elixir.

This does not mean that Lin Jiang's business is bigger than theirs, but that they can't get much share of the money those people make. Most of them are a bit like white gloves. Lin Jiang is very special. Zhang Wanjing has never asked him for money except to borrow 500,000 spirit stones and a Rongling Pill from him. And those people, the bulk of the profits went to the people behind them, which is equivalent to Lin Jiang standing in the position of some big guys to collect money. That is a completely different concept.

"You are so rich, take your senior brother with you when you go back."

Zhang Shuhua was stunned for a moment, and then said. He also saw that his junior brother was really rich.

"No problem, junior brother will definitely not forget senior brother when he becomes rich."

Lin Jiang smiled. According to the rules, most of the money in his hand should belong to Zhang Shuhua and Zhang Wanjing, but they were too honest, so they all fell into Lin Jiang's hands. Lin Jiang naturally would not be stingy with them, otherwise why would he give Rongling Pill to them before.

······

On the fifth day of the celebration, Zhongxing Sect took out the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill and Yunjian Sect took out the Tailing Pill for auction. Both of these pills can help the Foundation Establishment Stage to form a pill, which immediately triggered a frenzy among the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. The huge auction was almost overcrowded.

"Xiao Yi, the sect will not auction these two Jindan treasures. This is a tacit understanding. They are prepared for independent cultivators and small forces. If you want to bid, you can do your best."

Zhang Wanjing said to Lin Jiang that this was the game rule they set. It was extremely difficult for independent cultivators and disciples of small forces to form a pill. This was a little hope specially prepared for them.

Only when some of them formed a pill, the entire Yunzhou cultivation world would have a little vitality, and would induce them to take risks, accumulate wealth, and then be harvested by the big sects.

"I know, Master, I must get the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill,"

Lin Jiang said. If the disciples of the big sects did not have the opportunity, they might not be able to compete with the small forces and those powerful independent cultivators in terms of financial resources. They were the protagonists tonight.

But tonight, Lin Jiang would become a dark horse. With the support of the big sect, how could those small forces compare? Otherwise, Lin Jiang would not have gone to great lengths to join the Five Elements Sect.

In his career of more than 300 years, joining the Five Elements Sect was his most correct choice, and the benefits he gained were too many.

One by one, the auction items were auctioned off, and soon they came to the auction of the Tailing Pill.

"Fellow Daoists, the next auction item is the Tailing Pill. I won't waste words on what the Tailing Pill is made of. The auction will start now. The starting price is 800,000 Lingshi. Each bid must not be less than 10,000 Lingshi. No decimals are allowed. Let's start..."

"810,000"

"910,000"

"1.2 million"

"1.3 million"

The competition for the Tailing Pill was extremely fierce. In just a few seconds, the price was raised to 1.3 million. This eliminated more than half of the people, especially those casual cultivators, whose faces were extremely gloomy.

"This auction of the Jindan treasure is much more intense than before. The price will be much higher. Xiao Yi, be careful,"

Zhang Wanjing said. He checked the information and found that the auction price of the Jindan treasure before would not be so high. The reason for this is related to the actions of the three sects in the wilderness.

When the purple source fruit matured, many monsters in the wilderness were attracted. It was not just the three sects that made a fortune, but also the casual cultivators. After that, the Heavenly Wolf King died in battle. Before the Thunder Cloud Beast advanced to the new monster king, there was a period of time. During this period, the three sects expanded wildly in the wilderness, and the casual cultivators and small families did the same.

Due to many factors, small families and independent cultivators have accumulated huge wealth, which directly raised the price of treasures. The Yunjian Sect and Zhongxing Sect are both going to get rich. Zhang Wanjing knows how much such a pill costs.

Lin Jiang nodded, not saying much, just staring at the auction. After the price was raised to 1.5 million spirit stones, it slowed down. This was beyond the limit of most people.

"1.75 million, are there any Taoist friends who want to bid? I'll count to three, and then I'll stop."

Seeing that there was no increase in the price of 1.75 million, the auctioneer began to encourage the crowd, but no one dared to bid again. 1.75

million is just the price of the Tailing Pill. There is also a 5% handling fee. In addition, there are auxiliary pills, the extra spiritual energy added by the spirit gathering array when breaking through, etc. The overall expenditure easily exceeds 2 million. If it is an independent cultivator, you have to find a safe environment, which is another huge expense.

And this is the money that needs to be taken out in a short period of time. If you bid it and don't take it as soon as possible, it will be too dangerous. Once the news leaks out, there will be too many people who take risks.

The casual cultivators used blood and tears as a lesson to tell the later generations that once they get this kind of elixir, they must use it up as soon as possible.

"The next auction item is the Five Elements Golden Fruit Pill, which comes from the Zhongxing Sect. I won't say much about the other things. It's still the same rules as before. The starting price is 800,000. Start now."

"One million and eight hundred thousand spirit stones"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Lin Jiang's voice exploded at the auction, and countless people's words were choked in their throats and couldn't even speak.

The next moment, countless spiritual consciousness and eyes were aimed at the box of the Five Elements Sect to investigate.

"Humph"

Zhang Wanjing snorted coldly, and his huge spiritual consciousness swept across the scene, forcing those people to retract their gazes and spiritual consciousness.

"It's the Five Elements Sect"

"Nascent Soul Disciple"

"This is bad" Many people secretly thought it was not good

. Although the Five Elements Sect would not take action, this was at the sect level. It did not mean that the Nascent Soul could not take action in the name of an individual. It was just that most Nascent Souls would not do so, because the Nascent Souls of large sects had privileges, and it would not be too difficult to get a pill.

"One million, eight hundred and one hundred thousand"

"One million, eight hundred and two hundred thousand"

"Two million"

Seeing that there were still people raising the price, Lin Jiang once again suddenly raised the price to two million.

"My fellow brothers, I don't have enough spiritual stones. If I raise the price again, please help me."

"If you have money, you can lend it to him. I will guarantee it for him."

Zhang Wanjing also said on the side, and then he also sent a message to Lin Jiang, saying that if it was really not enough, he could consider paying it back.

"Pay it back"

Lin Jiang immediately wanted to stab him. How can you be a master like you? You haven't considered paying it back at this time. You are really your uncle.
