Taoist companions help me live forever

Half a month later.

The palace's action against the Sun Family Medicine Store has not yet begun, but the news that Guangnan County has been occupied by rebels has spread widely.

For a time, the people were excited, and the streets were full of talk about the rebel army. Even Yulan, who never left the house, asked Yu Xian with some interest what the rebel army was like.

But judging from the overall atmosphere, everyone is relatively relaxed and has more of a spectator mentality.

After all, Guangnan County and Changning County are thousands of miles apart. No matter how powerful the rebel army is, they will not be able to defeat them in a short while.

The other is that no one thinks that rebellion will become a trend.

The Yue Kingdom has thirty-two counties, is divided into twelve vassal kings, and has more than a million soldiers. No matter how you look at it, Guangnan County cannot cause too much trouble.

Those most affected are probably those merchants who want to go south.

At this time, information dissemination basically relied on carriages, horses and boats.

The southern waterway here is officially blocked, and cargo ships that have not yet received the news are still gathering from all over the place, and finally they are all blocked in the port.

The two brothers who talked to Yu Xian before were lucky. They sold their goods to Baibaolou at a fair price early without much loss.

However, more merchants can only store their goods at the port. If they stay longer, they will suffer more losses. Some goods that are not easy to preserve have even dropped in price every day.

At this time, they can either take a gamble and bet that the imperial court can immediately put down the rebellion, and then they can continue to go south. The war in the south has subsided and supplies are in urgent need, and they may be able to make a fortune.

Either you can only sell the goods at a low price, and you can save as much as you want.

At this time, the competition is who can sell faster.

Prices plummeted for a while, and goods that originally cost ten taels of silver could now be taken away for one tael of silver. All they wanted to do was clear their positions and leave. Under such actions, the market would continue to trend downward.

The merchants going south were in bad luck, but the various merchant houses in Changning City were very lucky. Especially leaders like Baibaolou have swallowed countless goods at ultra-low prices in a short period of time.

Frequent transactions caused the market to become hot, and many small businessmen from the surrounding areas took the initiative to flock to Changning City, hoping to get a share of this feast.

The entire Changning City became lively.

And amid this false prosperity, the Jade Awards hosted by Baibaolou finally kicked off.

This day.

Yu Xian took Magnolia and five thousand taels of silver in his arms, like a rich man who came to visit the mountains and rivers, and walked leisurely to Baibao Tower.

As for Chen Yi, he is still practicing hard and unwilling to go out.

According to her, she would be able to introduce Qi into her body in two days. But she said this ten days ago.

Two days later, another two days, and I don’t know how many more days there will be.

Seeing her pious practice, Yu Xian almost couldn't help but give her a spiritual stone to give her a push.

However, when she thought that there was a dull Yulan beside her, and her two spiritual stones might not help her successfully sense spiritual energy, she gave up the idea again.

He was reluctant to give spiritual stones, but this time he came over and could choose some jade stones with more spiritual energy to give to her.

At the entrance to the first floor of Baibao Building, there was a huge crowd. At a glance, they were all filled with black heads, and the noisy sound almost broke through the sky.

"Wow, there are so many people."

"Master, do we want to squeeze in?"

Yulan hugged Yu Xian's arm tightly, with a bit of timidity on her face, but there was a look of eagerness in her eyes.

After all, she is just a teenage girl who likes to be lively by nature.

"No, let's go another way."

Yu Xian patted Yulan's hand and walked to another entrance.

There are few people here, and there are guards from Baibaolou standing on both sides. They are all burly and full of evil spirits. They just have a sign saying no strangers should enter.

A large chamber of commerce like Baibaolou will naturally have a VIP channel, and an invitation is required to enter.

Yu Xian didn't have an invitation letter, but he had a palace token.

Prince Fu's Mansion is the sky of Changning City.

The token in his hand is enough to give him unimpeded access to most of the territory in the city, which is also a hidden benefit.

When Yu Xian showed his token, he was notified inside, and immediately a tall waitress came out.

The waitress is about in her early twenties, with an ordinary appearance, a flat build, a high ponytail, and a capable and refreshing aura.

"Hello, Mr. Yu, Manager Liu is really unable to spare time today, so he cannot come to receive you immediately. He asked me to say sorry to you.

My name is Lan Xiaohe, and I will be at your service next time.

There happen to be a few pieces of jade at this exhibition that can meet your requirements. Do you want to go and take a look now? "

"It's rare that Manager Liu still remembers my request and wants to say thank you for me. You can just take me there."

Yu Xian's first impression of the waitress was very good. Manager Liu was very good at selecting people and did not fool him with a vase.

"Okay, please come to me."

Lan Xiaohe's attitude was respectful, his posture was standard, and he bowed slightly all the way, showing good professional qualities.

Soon, a group of three people arrived at the exhibition hall on the second floor.

Compared to the noisy and crowded first floor, this place is obviously much more empty.

The hall was divided into booths, filled with jade stones and large stones of different colors and shapes. From time to time, people came forward to negotiate prices.

The method of negotiating prices is also very interesting. The two put their hands into their sleeves to bid, so outsiders cannot hear or see their prices.

There were also people gathered around, and from time to time a cheer would come from the middle, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

"What are they doing? They look very lively." Yu Xian asked.

Lan Xiaohe took a look and explained: "They are gambling on stones. Gambling on stones means using the raw jade ore as a bet. People will dig out the stones on the spot and bid for them. Once good jade appears, the price will rise sharply, but if no jade is found, all the money will be lost." No return.

Therefore, Gambling Stone also has the reputation of one sword to heaven and one sword to hell. "

Gambling on stones? Isn’t this the first choice for the protagonists in ancient urban supernatural novels to make a fortune?

Yu Xian became a little interested. His spiritual consciousness should see through the stone.

But at this moment, his magic weapon was more important.

Soon, Lan Xiaohe led Yu Xian and the two to a jade exhibition booth.

"Sir, I wonder if this piece of jade meets your requirements?"

Lan Xiaohe pointed to a huge irregular light green jadeite placed in the middle of the booth. It was roughly estimated to be three feet square, which is a whole piece of jade about one meter long, wide and high.

There are a lot of cotton-like impurities in it, but such a large amount is rare.

Yu Xian didn't have much research on jade, but he thought that such a large piece of jade was enough for him to refine a weapon embryo.

So he asked: "What is the price of this jade?"

The owner of the stall was a sturdy man with a beard. Hearing this, he walked up and stretched out his wide cuffs to signal for bargaining.

Yu Xian waved his hand and said, "I don't know how to do this, can you just make an offer?"

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lan Xiaohe who was standing aside.

If this person hadn't been brought by the people from Baibaolou, he would have started chasing people away.

Lan Xiaohe stepped forward: "Sir, this is the rule in this industry. They don't want others to hear their bottom price, which will cause losses to them. How about I translate for you."

"Okay." Yu Xian said indifferently.

So Lan Xiaohe took the initiative to put his hand into the bearded cuff, and the two began to bargain.

After a while, Lan Xiaohe took back his hand and whispered in Yu Xian's ear:

"Sir, he said that this piece of jade should cost at least ninety-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver. It's a good fortune."

Yu Xian shivered on the spot and turned pale.

"What a steal!"

He had only spent less than three thousand taels of silver in the mortal world for half a year, and one hundred thousand taels was enough for him to go against his heart and take a risk.

Thinking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

What a steal!

"Sir! This is the Baibao Tower."

Lan Xiaohe immediately panicked, as if he could see Yu Xian's little thoughts.

"Forget it, let's give you some face."

Yu Xian waved his hand, he was just thinking about it, he also thought about sleeping with the princess.

Generally speaking, he is still a good boy who abides by laws and regulations. He only accepts small bribes at ordinary times. How can he have any bad intentions of killing people and seizing treasures.

It’s easy to see ghosts if you walk too much at night.

I want to grab good things when I see them, and I have developed this simple and crude bad habit. If one day I meet an old Yinbi, I will die.

After all, except for a few lucky ones, most of those who can possess treasures have considerable strength.

Now he has no worries about food and drink, has a high status, and has a path to spiritual practice. But taking the slightest risk would be disrespectful to Golden Finger.

Yu Xian was about to ask if there was any loan service in Baibao Building. Everyone worked for the prince and were considered colleagues, so the interest rate should be cheaper.

"Bah! Pretend, you're wasting your time."

The bearded man has long been unhappy with this rich young man who doesn't understand the rules and is pretentious.

Now seeing that he was frightened by the one hundred thousand taels, he thought it was just an embroidered pillow, so he couldn't help but spit, then turned around and returned to his seat.

"Did he piss me off?"

Yu Xian looked stunned, as if he didn't know I would get mad.

Seeing this, Lan Xiaohe almost couldn't breathe. Knowing that something bad was going on, she was so anxious that she almost cried.

"Sir, please don't be impulsive, otherwise the supervisor won't be able to spare me. I apologize to you on his behalf.

In addition to this piece of material, there are other places. I will show you again. "

"Why are you apologizing for him?"

Yu Xian looked at Big Beard and called out: "Hey, Big Beard, do you want to sell the stones around you?"
