Chapter 666 The Benefits of Fame
Ye Xiaoman filled out the huge amount with tears in her eyes.
Even before paying, the amount alone is heartbreaking.
Although the fish paid for it in the end, the money from the fish pond would become hers sooner or later, and she didn't have to spend it.
The old cultivator collected the spirit paper and saw the identities filled in by the three of them.
The people who came turned out to be Ye Xiaoman and Xiao Chujing, the hottest rising stars in the world recently!
Especially Ye Xiaoman, her record of being number one on the Heavenly Ranking for a hundred years is something she can brag about for the rest of her life.
I still remember that day when Kunlun Tianbang traveled around to announce the good news to all walks of life. When the news reached the human world, the whole world was in an uproar. To this day, it is still the most discussed news in the streets and alleys.
Businessmen all know that they need to invest in the future, and no one dares to underestimate a rising star.
The old cultivator stood up from behind the counter and said with a bow, "The Nameless Sword Master and the Emperor Sword Master have come together. I'm sorry that Huantian Merchants has failed to welcome them."
The old cultivator was filled with awe and couldn't help but look at Ye Xiaoman a few more times. After the Kunlun Heavenly List was made public, everyone in the world was curious about what Ye Xiaoman looked like.
He was such a young monk with bright eyes and an approachable appearance, completely different from the cold-blooded and ruthless image that was rumored to exist.
He changed his business tone from speculating about her purchasing power to a respectful one. "The Nameless Sword Master is truly remarkable. Seeing is believing."
As he spoke, he felt honored to serve Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman waved her hands bitterly: "No need to be so polite, a discount on the price is more important than anything else."
"You really love to joke..." The old cultivator discovered that Ye Xiaoman was sitting on a hard mahogany chair inlaid with jade, although it was also a chair for receiving distinguished guests.
He immediately called someone over, "Change Fairy Ye's cushion to a soft, fragrant jade mat, the same one we used to welcome the host on duty, and add a pot of good Mingqian tea."
The Grand Minister standing by took the matter very seriously and used magic to teleport to do it.
Ye Xiaoman sat on the cushion and drank better tea. Even the person serving tea was replaced by a gentle and handsome man. She hated Xiao Chujing and others who were beside her and could only stare at her.
I was so busy fighting and killing in the ghost realm before that I didn’t realize that the joy of making big money can only be experienced when the money earned is exchanged for physical objects.
For the first time, Ye Xiaoman truly felt the benefits of fame, which really allowed her to live a good life as a monk.
In accordance with the rules, Sikong Qing paid 10% of the auction deposit.
Xiao Chujing stuffed a red envelope into the old cultivator's pocket and said, "Thank you for conveying this to me, shopkeeper."
The old cultivator weighed the heavy brocade bag and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He didn't expect that the Emperor Sword Master was so down-to-earth.
Xiao Chujing had figured out the unspoken rules within the Huantian Chamber of Commerce. He did not have the arrogance that was rumored to be so strong as to use thunder to kill cultivators if they disagreed with him.
When cultivating immortality, one must also take into account the ways of the world.
It is not easy for a cultivator to grow from an unknown person to a dominant leader in one leap.
During the latent dragon period, one needs to rely on a powerful master, compete for resources with many geniuses in the sect, travel outside and work together with other powerful people to explore secret realms.
The hearts of the people here are unpredictable, and one can be killed if not careful. Many geniuses who are ignorant of the ways of the world have perished in this process. Even the second generation of cultivators from famous families can be accidentally killed by cultivators they dislike.
So in addition to 90% of strength, knowing how to deal with people and things is also a part of strength.
Xiao Chujing is a man of smooth skills, straightforward and generous in dealing with people, and has the potential to gather forces and become a hegemon.
The old cultivator did not refuse and accepted Xiao Chujing's favor, treating it as a friendship regardless of age difference. "Thank you for being so polite, Immortal Xiao. I will help you to mediate with the Qing family."
His sharp eyes had long since seen that Xiao Chujing's aura was mixed, and the golden elixir he had formed was not satisfactory. "We have some elixirs that can enhance the golden elixir. If you are interested, Immortal Xiao, I will have them presented to you."
Xiao Chujing said: "That's exactly what I want. Sorry for the trouble."
Sikong Qing couldn't stand this kind of hypocrisy in the human world. With Ye Xiaoman beside him, he couldn't use the demonic method of putting a knife to the other person's neck. He also threw a little reward to the old cultivator, "If you do it well, the head of the Sikong Qing family will give you an extra reward."
The old cultivator took a look at Sikong Qing and felt that he was a negative example of someone with low emotional intelligence. At least he wouldn't last long in the human world.
Fortunately, she was able to accompany the Nameless Sword Master with her beauty, and she could be a good cauldron, which was also a blessing.
Yue Mushan lay on Ye Xiaoman's legs and raised his cat paw to look at it in embarrassment.
He had to admit that in some cases, his pet form restricted his performance in front of Ye Xiaoman.
He told Ye Xiaoman: [Sister, my family is one of the financial shareholders of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce.]
[I'll also ask my mother to help arrange a meeting with Qing Yuanhu.]
Ye Xiaoman quickly agreed. In order to increase the success rate, she secretly took out a communication magic weapon and, under the noses of Sikong Qing and others, conveyed to the other fish the recent situation of her urgent need to intervene in the Water Spirit Pearl.
The old cultivator nodded after the three people paid their auction deposits and said, "Masters, please return home first. Master Qing's reply will probably arrive in three days."
Ye Xiaoman said, "We can't wait that long. Can we arrange it today?"
It would be best if we meet today and get the Water Spirit Pearl within tomorrow.
The old cultivator was in a difficult situation, but since Xiao Chujing had taken care of everything, he was willing to do his best to help.
"Well, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to make arrangements and see if I can contact the boss."
…
Gambling house.
"This shop relies entirely on luck. The use of talismans, spirit pets, and the Five Ghosts Wealth Moving Spell is completely prohibited. If caught, your spiritual roots will be destroyed and you will be dealt with according to private law!"
"Buy it and leave it, everyone buy it and leave it."
"Master Han, may God bless you—"
"Open! One, three, six, ten o'clock!"
"Why!"
Behind the gilded and colorful wealth-gathering screen, a deafening sound came towards us.
As the three spinning bone dice finally settled in the mutton-fat bowl, the gamblers gathered around the bluestone table collectively groaned.
The dealer held the treasure bowl and skillfully sucked the spiritual stones, magic weapons and other items lost by everyone in the bet into the bowl like a whirlwind.
The banker showed no sign of joy. He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and forced a smile at the man sitting opposite him, but his smile was uglier than crying.
"Mr. Qing, are you possessed by the God of Gamblers? You've been gambling with me for an hour, and you've won every time."
Following the dealer's words, the gamblers around him all focused their envious gazes on the most eye-catching man among them.
The treasure bowl floating beside him was already filled to the brim with treasures that had grown into a hill. On the top of the hill was a dazzling green emerald bead. The glittering jewels under the bright light were so dazzling that one could hardly open one's eyes.
However, no matter how dazzling the wealth and splendor in the house were, they were not as dazzling as Qing Yuanhu himself.
Qing Yuanhu was seen wearing a brocade robe that was so golden that it almost blinded people. The robe was embroidered with exquisite dark patterns of gold ingots in even lighter gold thread.
As he raised his hand, gold ingots appeared and disappeared with his movements, as if a wealthy man was scattering money all over the sky, like a walking fortune tree.
