Chapter 207: Chapter 206: The Human Emperor’s Stuff is Very Valuable
Translator: 549690339
Although the Ruyi Gourd was acting strange, Jiang Li didn’t think it had anything to do with Lingbao Transformation.
Now that the grudges have been settled, he was waiting for the meeting to disperse and did not pay much attention to the stage.
“I know you all are looking forward to these last three items.” The auctioneer did not keep everyone waiting, as he lifted the curtain to reveal an ordinary brush.
Jiang Li felt like he had seen this object before.
The scholar King Change and Dean Meng unconsciously quickened their breaths, seeming extremely anxious.
They attended the auction today specifically for this item.
“I believe you have all guessed by now. Yes, this is the brush used by our current Human Emperor, the sole Mahayana Realm cultivator, Jiang Li!” 1′!!!” Jiang Li’s eyes widened in surprise.
“May I ask your business association, how can you prove that this is the brush that Jiang Li, the Human Emperor, used?” King Change asked.
“Hehe, my friend King Change, don’t hurry, let me finish. The reputation of Feiyun Commerce Association is known throughout nine states, and of course, we won’t ruin our own reputation.”
The auctioneer calmly introduced, “As many of you know, after Jiang Li left Jiang’s family, he joined the Huayun Sect and became good friends with the current Supreme Elder of Huayun Sect, Yun Bo.”
“This brush was provided by Yun Bo, who stated that Jiang Li used this brush to record the income and expenses of the Huayun Sect 500 years ago and helped the Huayun Sect survive.”
The auctioneer displayed a certificate written by Yun Bo himself and stamped with his blood.
“After Jiang Li left the Huayun Sect, Yun Bo, out of gratitude, treasured this brush without allowing it to gather a speck of dust.”
“Now that the Huayun Sect has caught up with the trend of Lingbao enlightening wisdom, they want to expand the scale of the sect. They need Spirit Stones, so they reluctantly decided to sell this brush.”
“The business association confirmed from historical records and various aspects that this brush was the one that Jiang, the Human Emperor, used!” “The starting price, one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Cough, cough!” Jiang Li was startled by the price. “This brush isn’t even considered a Lingbao, is it that valuable?”
He did use this brush indeed, but the price seemed a bit outrageous.
“My friend, you are too naive.” Someone explained to Jiang Li, “You should know Huayun Sect, right? That’s where Jiang, the Human Emperor, started.
The brush that Jiang Li used has become quite valuable, and it was used in the
Huayun Sect, which is an artifact that money can’t buy – it’s priceless!”
“You know Dean Meng, right? He is a famous collector in Jiang Li’s artifact circle. This brush is a symbol of Jiang Li’s status in the artifact circle!”
“And the scholar King Change, a famous analyst in Jiang Li’s literature circle, who admires Jiang Li’s works the most. This brush has accompanied Jiang Li for several months. As a literati, who wouldn’t want this brush!”
“Whoever gets this brush may be able to derive Jiang Li’s wisdom and become as talented as he.”
“Unfortunately, I’m just a small businessman and don’t have enough Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I would definitely bid for this brush to bless my son.”
After listening to the introduction, Jiang Li was full of question marks.
Is it that he can’t keep up with the trend? What the heck are Jiang Li’s artifact and literature circles!
The Ruyi Gourd was also listening on the side. It found it hard to understand the human thought process.
While Jiang Li and the Ruyi Gourd were baffled, the brush had already been auctioned off at the sky-high price of 780 top-grade Spirit Stones. This could buy a decent Body Integration Realm Cultivation Technique.
“Are the things you’ve used so valuable?”
The Ruyi Gourd had a new understanding of Jiang Li’s wealth. Jiang Li wouldn’t lack Spirit Stones in his lifetime. Looking at the situation, even the sticks from the sugar-coated haws he finished eating could probably sell for a good price. “I only found out today.” Jiang Li didn’t know what kind of expression to put on.
In the end, it was the wealthy Dean Meng who bought the brush.
“After going back, I’ll frame it and hang it in the most eye-catching place for everyone to see.” Dean Meng already had the next step planned.
“The second treasure, Jiang, the Human Emperor’s Ink Treasure. Although the meaning of the text has been interpreted by many great men, no unified answer has been obtained. What this sentence means, what Jiang Li wants to express, still remains an unsolved mystery in the world of cultivation.”
The auctioneer displayed a small slip of paper. After enlargifying it with a spell, everyone could see the characters on the slip of paper.
Odd functions change, but even ones don’t, check the quadrant for signs.
Jiang Li covered his face.
This was a mnemonic that he had left behind while doing function problems out of boredom at the Huayun Sect.
“I heard an Integration Realm master explain that ‘odd’ and ‘even’ refer to odd and even days. ‘Signs’ is a secret code left by the Human Emperor, and ‘quadrant’ refers to the appropriate place to fill in the secret code.”
“The meaning of this sentence is that in a place where odd days change but even days do not, if you fill in the appropriate ‘Signs’ in the ‘Quadrant’ , you will be able to open the treasure left by the Human Emperor.” “This is clearly nonsense and heresy,” someone retorted.
Jiang Li nodded slightly in agreement.
The person continued, “‘Odd’ is a homonym for ‘chicken’, so ‘odd changes’ means that the chicken is cut into pieces. ‘Even’ is a homonym for ‘lotus root’, so ‘even does not change’ means the lotus root is kept whole.”
‘”Signs’ refers to the runes that control the fire power, and ‘quadrant’ refers to the four images of the starry sky.’
“This sentence is talking about stewing chicken pieces and whole lotus roots together, and adjusting the fire according to the changes in the stars.”
“This is how to cook the favorite dish of Jiang, the Human Emperor, Old Hen Stewed with Lotus Root.”
Old Hen Stewed with Lotus Root? What the hell is that?!
Isn’t candied haws my favorite food?
“May I ask, who said that the Old Hen Stewed with Lotus Root is Jiang Li’s favorite dish?”
“It is said that when Jiang Li was touring Mountain You, he suddenly felt hungry and went to a nearby village for a meal. The villagers, knowing that he was the Human Emperor, happily slaughtered an old hen to treat him. Jiang Li couldn’t stop praising the Old Hen Stewed with Lotus Root after eating it.”
“Didn’t Jiang Li fast, why did he feel hungry?” Jiang Li asked. “I don’t know about that, it’s just what people say.”
Jiang Li thought that today’s auction was truly an eye-opener.
“Although the meaning of this sentence is unclear, it is indeed Jiang, the Human Emperor’s handwriting. The person who gets this slip of paper might have a chance to understand Jiang Li’s intent.”
“The starting price, one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.”
Compared to the brush, this slip of paper was obviously more valuable. Dean Meng and King Change repeatedly raised the price.
In the end, the King Change bought Jiang Li’s Ink Treasure for two thousand one hundred and twenty-three top-grade Spirit Stones.
“It seems everyone is very interested.” The auctioneer could hardly stop smiling. This auction would earn their association a whopping 15 percent commission; they were going to make a fortune.
“Now, the finale for today’s auction — The Scriptures left behind by Jiang, the Human Emperor!” 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂
Jiang Li suddenly stood up, his eyes locked on the book.
This was the cringe-worthy novel he wrote in his previous life’s language after he travelled to Jiuzhou!
Such lines as “How dare you defy the will of the king”, “Why should I fear being against the world”, “I grant you death, it is your honour”, “Those who fall into darkness forever yearn for light”.
This is absolutely something that others must not see!
