"Meixue spirit! Great calligraphy!" Chu Tian stood in front of the tall building door, with ten specially made water tanks lined up in a row behind him.

Dozens of porters stood by the water tank like stupid geese, looking around the academy with timidity. Many young scholars in long gowns, with fair skin and smooth hands without any calluses, stood under the eaves of the academy, curiously looking at the porters in short shirts and tight clothes, some with their chests bared, revealing their strong arms.

The highbrow and the lowbrow formed a very sharp contrast in the Jishan Academy for a while.

The big golden carp in the water tank swung its tail restlessly, splashing large pieces of water, spraying the porters beside the water tank all over. The porters tried their best to show a simple and honest smile, carefully hanging their hands by their sides, letting the water splashed by the big carp wet their bodies, but they did not dare to raise their hands to wipe their wet cheeks.

"Dong dong dong", there were dense footsteps sounds coming from inside the building. Soon, Xun Yu, playing with a small wax-jet stone Ruyi, walked out of the pavilion with dozens of handsome disciples.

Xun Yu's gaze passed over Chu Tian's shoulder and looked directly at the ten huge water tanks behind.

He knew Chu Tian's name and that Chu Tian was the murderer of Zhou Liuyun's father. Even when Zhou Liuyun was still traveling thousands of miles to Qizhou, Xun Yu had already mobilized the relevant case files and learned all the information he wanted to know.

Xun Yu boasted that he knew Chu Tian very well. He thought that Chu Tian was just a street thug, a cheap and dirty thief, and that he was not worthy of his concern. Xun Yu even felt that if he looked at Chu Tian for a second, it would be a pollution to his eyes!

Zhou Liuyun seemed not to have noticed Chu Tian standing in front of the water tank. He followed Xun Yu with a smile and slowly walked to a large water tank. He looked intently at the large golden-scaled carp restrained in the tank.

Ling Yue and Ling Yinhua looked Chu Tian up and down intently.

Ling Yue glanced at Chu Tian with contempt and disdain, snorted coldly, and walked past Chu Tian with an arrogant look.

Ling Yinhua's eyes were like water, and she swept Chu Tian gently. Chu Tian's dark skin and scarred face looked extremely ugly and lowly to Ling Yinhua. Just think about it, it was such a lowly person who wiped out Zhou Liuyun's family. Ling Yinhua felt an inexplicable anger in her heart, but in her anger there was a bit of extremely complicated emotions!

"To be honest, we have to thank him for killing Liuyun's dirty father!" Ling Yinhua curled her delicate lips slightly, as if Chu Tian was a piece of rotten meat that was emitting a terrible stench. She walked around him from more than ten feet away with great disgust.

"Oh, what a big golden carp!" Xun Yu suddenly clapped his hands heavily and exclaimed in amazement: "It is really a rare treasure. I'm afraid it must be more than ten feet long, right?"

Chu Tian turned around, walked to Xun Yu, pointed at the big carp in the water tank and said with a smile: "Master, your eyes are sharp. The shortest of these ten golden-scaled carp is 12 feet long, and the longest is 12 feet and 8 inches long. I have spent a lot of energy for them!"

Xun Yu did not even look at Chu Tian, ​​but examined the golden carps in the tank one by one, shaking his head and exclaiming: "It is truly a masterpiece created by heaven and earth. These ten carps are all extraordinary, with golden scales opening and closing, eyes blinking, and they have the aura of dragons. If we give them some more time to let them grow up, I am afraid they can turn into dragons."

"Such a wonderful thing is unheard of even in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty!" Xun Yu shook his head and said with emotion: "How can the White Python River be so lucky to produce such a rare treasure?"

After sighing for a while, Xun Yu turned around and smiled at Zhou Liuyun, "Liuyun, a glimpse of the whole picture is a glimpse of the whole picture. The White Python River is just a tributary of the Dalong River, and the Dalong River is just a common one in the Hundred Thousand Wilds around this state. The White Python River can nurture such a rare treasure, which shows that the Hundred Thousand Wilds really have great fortune, great luck, and great blessings. It is worth my ten years of hard work here!"

Zhou Liuyun also laughed. He pointed around the Qishan Mountain, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Where the phoenix landed, there must be a treasure hidden. This White Python River can give birth to such a wonderful thing. This hundred thousand wildernesses are just as Master Xun said, it is worth our full efforts and efforts!"

Chu Tian blinked a few times. What did Xun Yu and Zhou Liuyun mean by this?

They have set their sights on these vast and wild mountains? Do they want to make a big splash here? Oh my, this is a big deal!

Chu Tian coughed lightly and said with a smile: "My dear nobles, since you are satisfied with my ten golden carps, please pay the money. I am a real man and never quote an unrealistic price. Each of these ten golden carps is worth 1,500 taels of pure gold!"

Without even a beat, Chu Tian casually quoted a sky-high price.

Ling Yue, Ling Yinhua and Ling Fu were all shocked, and the dozens of academy students behind them were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were speechless.

Ten large golden carps, each priced at 1,500 taels of red gold, that's 15,000 taels of gold! In the borderland of Qizhou, gold is the most expensive thing. One tael of gold is worth 20 taels of silver in normal years. For these ten fish, Chu Tian actually dared to ask for 300,000 taels of silver?

Let's not talk about the Ling family. Although all the scholars who enrolled in the academy had extraordinary family backgrounds, the entire property of many so-called wealthy families was less than a fraction of 300,000 taels of silver! How could ten wild fish from the Baimang River be worth such a high price?

"The price is clearly marked, and no one is cheated. If the second steward is dissatisfied with the price I offer, I am not a robber who forces you to buy or sell. If you are not satisfied with the price, I will take these ten big carps back and release them into the White Python River."

Chu Tian smiled brightly, his lips moved nimbly up and down, and he spoke a long string of business tips with great skill.

"After all, this is the first time I've seen such a big golden carp in my life. I was really scared when I caught them. Some of my most capable subordinates were hit by them and were seriously injured. This is not an ordinary carp, it is already a powerful spiritual creature. I'm worried that if I catch them and sell them for money, something bad will happen in the future."

Chu Tian smiled and extended his hand to Ling Fu, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face. "So, either we can settle the payment in silver or, if you think the price is too high and Ling's can't afford it, I can't wait to transport them back to Baimang River."
