Chapter 3863: Commencing the Sweep (Revised)
alk, let's get to attracting business!"The influx of a large number of cultivators made every shop on Xiuyuan Street bustling with people, crowded and lively.However, there are exceptions.At the end o...Upon entering the bamboo forest, Ginger Cloud unexpectedly discovered that a faint mist still permeated the surroundings.
This also led him to a bolder hypothesis: perhaps all the Mist Spirit people within the Four Towns City had transformed into mist, pervading this bamboo forest and guarding it, preventing outsiders from entering.
With the arrival of Ginger Cloud and Gao Song, these mists also spontaneously gave way, not hindering the departure of the two.
Out of the gate of Zhújìng Garden, both Jiangyun and Gaosong were taken aback.
Because there were simply too many cultivators gathered here! When Jiang Yun appeared, a quick-witted cultivator immediately stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Yun: "Master Xuanyuan, my Songlan Sect is willing to offer ten million emperor spirit stones as payment to invite Master to temporarily stay in our Songlan Sect."
Before this cultivator’s voice could even fall, another cultivator immediately shouted out, "We are willing to offer fifteen million imperial source stones to invite Master Xuanyuan to join us."
And at the Appraisal Conference, any Blood Sealing Stone that a grandmaster favors will be purchased by my Lei Ming Sect, regardless of the price.
Next, a wave of sounds began to rise and fall continuously.
One after another, monks stepped forward, directly stating the price offered by the forces they represented, hoping to impress Jiang Yun.
And upon hearing the words of the crowd, Jiang Yun was stunned.
He never expected to become so popular.
Today's Jiang Yun, in addition to possessing a large number of Emperor Source Stones, the place where he is truly valued by everyone is still his attainments in stone identification.
After all, besides some major forces that have the ability to cultivate their own gemologists, most forces simply cannot afford to have their own.
Normally, they wouldn't need it either.
But during the Gem Appraisers' Convention, they all tried their best to hire one or several appraisers.
As for Jiang Yun, not only had his name become known, but the information gleaned from all quarters made it clear that he was still a free man, not belonging to any faction. He was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
He alone is enough to rival several gemstone appraisers.
Therefore, many factions sent people to try and win over Jiang Yun, hoping to hire him to help their faction identify the blood-sealed stones.
Takamatsu on the side was listening with his eyes sparkling, constantly swallowing his saliva.
The conditions proposed by each faction are simply too tempting.
Not only would they pay Jiang Yun a fee starting at millions of Emperor Origin Stones, but if something good was actually cut out from the Blood Sealing Stone, they would even split it evenly with him! If I were in his position, I'd have agreed long ago! In fact, even Jiang Yun himself was a bit tempted. Joining any force could save him a lot of Emperor Origin Stones.
But after much deliberation, he still smiled and declined all invitations.
After all, he's not short of Emperor Origin Stones himself, and he can see what's inside the Blood Sealing Stone.
If other factions participated in the appraisal meeting and bought something, if there was something they desperately needed, they would split it in half. They wouldn't be willing to give up their share.
Although Ginger Cloud declined everyone's invitation, he didn't completely shut the door. He followed up by saying, "Of course, if any of you find a Blood Sealing Stone you like but can't decide on, feel free to consult me. I will give you some advice based on the situation."
Jiang Yun's words instantly brightened the eyes of the crowd who had been somewhat disappointed.
They understood that what Ginger Cloud meant by "appropriateness" was actually based on the benefits they offered. Regardless of how it was put, these benefits would definitely be cheaper than directly hiring him.
Moreover, each faction participating in the Treasure Appraisal Conference wouldn't realistically purchase a large quantity of blood-sealed stones recklessly.
Most of them only buy a few pieces, so Jiang Yun's words are actually more cost-effective for them than hiring Jiang Yun directly.
Therefore, everyone hastily bowed to Jiang Yun one after another and said: "Then we'll thank Master Xuanyuan first!"
"You're welcome!"
Jiang Yun also smiled and clasped his fists, saying: "Everyone, I have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave for now. See you all at the appraisal conference tomorrow!"
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Master Xuanyuan, are you still going to buy the Blood Sealing Stone"
Ginger hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Not bad, anyway, I'm free and want to try my luck again!"
After finishing his words, Jiang Yun pulled at his loosened robe and walked outside.
And the vast majority of these cultivators, after looking at each other, actually chose to follow behind the two.
Seeing this scene, Gao Song couldn't help but secretly glance at Jiang Yun, his eyes filled with admiration.
Because Jiang Yun's refusal was too masterful! There are at least dozens of forces here. Even if each family contributes one million Emperor Origin Stones, tomorrow at the Appraisal Conference, the number of Emperor Origin Stones he earns will definitely far exceed the price offered by these forces today.
More importantly, this way, he not only avoided offending these forces again, but on the contrary, these forces would do everything possible to protect his safety.
Just like now, so many people are following Jiang Yun behind, wanting to observe Jiang Yun go buy the Blood Sealing Stone again.
No matter who it is, wanting to harm Jiang Yun in this situation would be nearly impossible.
Gao Song was right, this was Jiang Yun's true purpose; he had found himself a group of free bodyguards! Leading the crowd, Jiang Yun once again went to Shitaixuan. Although both the Soul-Attracting Incense and the Tai Chu Limestone Liquid could be bought, first, they were expensive, and second, if Jiang Yun really purchased them in large quantities, it would inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, which was also a troublesome matter.
So, Jiang Yun felt it was better to look for himself in the Blood Sealing Stone. Shitaixuan, whether in terms of scale or the number of Blood Sealing Stones, surpassed the other four stores. Moreover, the gamble between Jiang Yun and Xuan Yi also brought a huge profit to Shitaixuan.
And Ginger Cloud certainly wouldn't let them get away with it for nothing.
Although someone in Shi Taixuan immediately notified Huangfu Yu and Li Zhuang about Jiang Yun's arrival, they didn't take it seriously at all.
They would love it if Ginger Cloud could buy a large quantity of Blood Sealing Stones here, helping them consume more of their inventory.
Jiang Yun walked into the hall, naturally attracting the attention of all the cultivators.
All the people gave up selecting the Blood Sealing Stone and focused their eyes on Jiang Yun.
Gingercloud smiled and nodded at the crowd before beginning to select blood-sealed stones.
Now that he had the identity of a gem appraiser, Jiang Yun didn't need to deliberately conceal himself anymore. He would pause for several breaths in front of each blood-sealed stone.
If it contains something, and the price is far higher than that of a Blood Sealing Stone, he will signal Takasho to buy the Blood Sealing Stone.
On the contrary, he continued to walk toward the next blood-sealed stone.
In the first hall, the number of blood-sealed stones exceeded a thousand.
It took Jiang Yun over two hours to finally finish reading this thousand-piece Blood Seal Stone.
And Gao Song's hand held more than ten blood-sealing stones.
Jiang Yun glanced at the dozen or so blood-sealed stones, then looked at the numerous cultivators who had been staring at him intently. He smiled slightly and said in a transmission, "Fellow cultivators, I wonder if any of you have paid attention to your process of selecting the blood-sealed stones just now."
If there were any, any bloodstone I stayed on for more than twenty breaths, you can all try your luck!
"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. If the Blood Seal Stone is empty, don't blame me!"
After dropping that line, Jiang Yun took Gao Song to the second hall.
And those cultivators, after a moment of stunned silence, immediately plunged into a frenzy of buying! Since the cultivators who could come here had strength that wouldn't be too weak, even though Jiang Yun's selection process was extremely long, many of them still remembered how long Jiang Yun stayed in front of each blood-sealed stone! Therefore, they were naturally eager to buy those blood-sealed stones that Jiang Yun had lingered over for more than twenty breaths.
Thus, Jiang Yun began his sweep of Shi Tai Xuan! And it wasn't just him sweeping alone, but he was accompanied by a large number of cultivators in the sweep!es, he was not yet the ruler of a world, but obviously, he and the woman in white were the ones who helped the Daoist Sovereign confront the Ghost Clan that opposed the Nine Clans of Annihilation!Alth...
