Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 292 - 255, Bai Jin Sells Goods

Merit? All of these are merit?! Yang Chan excitedly exclaimed, "Thank you, senior brother." As she waved her hands and collected the massive Merit Money, her heart swelled with joy—her senior brother was truly too kind.

Bai Jin walked down the steps and bowed to Nuwa, "Niangniang, this disciple still has matters to attend to, I shall take my leave now."

Nuwa nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead!"

Bai Jin turned and left the Nuwa Palace.

Yang Chan asked curiously, "Master, is he also your disciple? Why have I never seen him before?"

"He is the Outer Disciple Leader of your Master’s sect, you must show respect when you see him in the future."

Yang Chan nodded repeatedly, smiling, "Yes!"

...

After returning to the Primordial World, Bai Jin immediately began his seclusion. The altar still needed some modifications to be suitable for setup; in short, it needed to be noble, impressive, and of high class, and it also needed to have a sufficiently long and grand history.

Years later, Bai Jin emerged from seclusion, calculated the time, and headed straight towards Chao Ge—dear junior brother Ziya, I’m coming!

Chao Ge was the Great Shang Capital City with towering city walls and gates more than ten zhang wide, with an endless stream of carriages and citizens coming and going.

Dressed in white, Bai Jin mingled with the crowd and walked out from inside Chao Ge, surrounded by the clamor of vendors. As he strolled along with the crowd, he covertly used his Qi Observation Skill, and pillars of Qi appeared throughout Chao Ge, vast like a sea of smoke.

Eventually, Bai Jin saw an old man selling noodles by the road near the main gate, appearing drowsy and faintly radiating a trace of Yuqing’s immortality.

Bai Jin revealed a smile. I found you. Transforming into an old man, he stooped over, carrying two large cases towards an alley. He sat down in a shaded spot within the alley, sweat drenched, and gasping for air.

Jiang Ziya glanced at Bai Jin, and sighed inwardly, seeing someone of such an aged bearing such a burden was not an easy life.

Jiang Ziya offered a water bottle and said, "Old man, would you like some water?"

The old man that Bai Jin transformed into took out a gourd from beside his case and said with a simple smile, "This old man has brought his own." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Jiang Ziya stored away the water bottle and asked, "How was business for you today, elder brother?"

The old man wiped his sweat and said with emotion, "Business is hard these days! But it seems like younger brother has sold quite a bit."

Jiang Ziya also nodded with a smile, "These past couple of days, I’ve barely sold a hundred Copper Coins, not much really."

The old man gave a thumbs up, "Elder brother, impressive!"

Jiang Ziya replied laughingly, "It’s really just average, mainly good luck."

After resting for a while, the old man that Bai Jin had transformed into opened his two cases, spread a piece of sackcloth on the ground, and laid out all the items from the cases on the cloth, arranging two separate stalls.

One stall displayed many small items, such as hairpins, bowls and chopsticks, needles and threads, Daggers, children’s toys, etc., vast and numerous.

The other stall displayed simple and antique bronze ware, stone and wood carvings, some even dirty and seemingly ancient.

The old man that Bai Jin had transformed into called out in a hoarse voice: "Passersby, don’t miss out.

Two Copper Coins each, not too much; won’t get you over a mountain nor across a river.

Two Copper Coins each, not too pricey; no need for a family meeting to decide.

Although not an heirloom, every household can’t do without them.

They last three to five years, and you can even pass them on to the next generation.

Everything goes for two coins, whatever you buy just two coins, pick at will, choose at will. Everything goes for two coins, whatever you buy just two coins."

Two copper coins are not a lot, can’t buy a house, can’t buy a car, and won’t get you out of Chao Ge for a trip.

Two copper coins, not spent in vain, used all year round.

Two coins, nothing fancy, can’t rip off a house, can’t sell land.

Pick whatever, choose whatever, everything goes for two coins, whatever you buy just two coins..."

With Bai Jin’s call out, passersby gathered around, curious and browsing at the stand, asking Bai Jin all sorts of questions, and he responded with laughter.

As more people gathered, business began to pick up, and the clinking sound of copper coins incessantly fell into Bai Jin’s box.

Jiang Ziya, sitting outside the alley, was dumbfounded, turning his head to look at his own empty stall and then at the bustling one next door, suddenly lost in a daze, his old face turned red, thinking about how he was just showing off.

After a while, Jiang Ziya couldn’t sit still, with a learning mindset, he stood up and walked towards Bai Jin’s stand, squeezing into the crowd.

He saw customers picking and choosing on the stand, paying and buying, the old vendor busy and beaming, where was the pitiable state from earlier?!

Jiang Ziya swept his gaze over the items on the burlap-covered ground; there were daily necessities, wooden toy carvings, and some bronze and stone artifacts covered in dirt.

The stone artifacts caught Jiang Ziya’s attention; among the rustic bronze ware, he saw a terracotta block radiating spiritual energy, faintly exuding an extraordinary feeling.

Jiang Ziya, pointing at the bronze and stone artifacts, asked with a smile, "Old man, how much for these? Are they also two copper coins each?"

Bai Jin, now an old man, sized up Jiang Ziya, stroked his beard, and a shrewd light flashed in his eyes, saying cheerfully, "Your eyesight is good, old brother. These items are all extraordinary, inherited treasures with long history, not the usual kind that can be had for a common price, nor within the range of two copper coins."

A woman holding a wooden comb chuckled and said, "You sly old man, always trying to hoodwink people; all these items are rusted, what good can they be?"

The old vendor, unable to tolerate the provocation, picked up a bronze wine cup and exclaimed, "What do you know? This wine cup is said to have been used by Emperor Xuan Yuan."

Then, he picked up a stone carving and said, "This carving was personally done by Emperor Xia himself."

"And these chopsticks, legend has it they were used by Emperor Yu’s wife, Lady Jiao."

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and chuckled, "In my opinion, these items were made less than a year ago."

The old vendor’s face turned red, and he said discontentedly, "What does a country bumpkin like you know? None of you have any appreciation." Carefully, he placed everything he had picked up back down.

Jiang Ziya bent down and picked up a wine pot, asking, "Old brother, I really like this item, how do you sell it?"

The old vendor quickly said excitedly, "Brother, you have good taste, this wine pot is called the Du Kang Pot, rumored to have been used by the saint Du Kang himself, a real treasure among wines!

Today, seeing that you are fated, let’s make friends, I won’t ask you for ten thousand, not even eight thousand, just take it for a thousand copper coins."

Jiang Ziya laughed heartily and said, "Old brother, you’re not being honest, this wine pot was clearly made only ten days ago."

The customers around all laughed loudly, looking at the old vendor with scorn.

The vendor argued, "I’m telling you, this really is the wine pot used by Du Kang."

Jiang Ziya held up a finger and said, "One hundred copper coins."

The vendor grasped Jiang Ziya’s hand in one go, exclaiming excitedly, "Deal!"

Jiang Ziya frowned at the old vendor and muttered, "I feel I’ve offered too much, how about this? You throw in another item."

The old vendor generously said, "Sure, pick whatever you like, choose whatever you want."

Jiang Ziya reached out and picked up the stone that was emitting spiritual energy from the stand, saying, "This one then! I’ll use it as a seat cushion when I do business."

The old vendor lifted a finger in praise and said, "Brother, you have great eyesight, this stone is said to be the ’Heavenly Pillar Stone’..."

A disgruntled woman beside him called out, "Alright, enough with your tall tales. Hurry up and show me this hairpin."

"Coming right away~ Little lady, this hairpin matches you perfectly, like icing on the cake; you are the splendid brocade itself, and wearing this hairpin makes you even more stunning."
