Chapter 426 Trading
Chapter 426 Trading
Chu Qing was not actually interested in the story of Ji Yexue and Mr. Liuye, which was buried fifty years ago.
But Chu Qing was very interested in this [Secret of Eternal Love].
From the name of this secret book, we can tell that the purpose of Mr. Liuye storing this thing here is most likely to neutralize Ji Yexue's [White Jade Immortality Sutra].
[White Jade Eternal Life Sutra] Being indifferent to the seven emotions will turn a person into a stone.
He wanted to use this [Secret of Eternal Love] to help her light the Seven Emotions Lamps and rekindle the Six Desires Lamp.
Does that mean that this thing can make people feel compassionate?
The biggest problem with being gentle is that I am naturally indifferent to emotions. Can I learn from this skill?
He pondered in his heart and looked at the old man again:
"Are all these things mine?"
"Exactly."
The old man smiled and said:
"Whether the leader wants to keep it for himself or give it to someone else, it's all up to you.
"Before you leave, you can choose to deposit this item again. Wanbaolou will not allow any of the items to be damaged in the slightest."
Chu Qing nodded:
"Thank you very much, old man."
"You are too polite, Lord."
After the old man finished saying these words, he led everyone out.
When passing by Wenrou, he glanced at her and smiled.
"Is he making fun of me for being shorter than him?"
Gentle doubts arose in Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan's hearts.
The mood is slightly excited.
But his face remained calm...
Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan hurried to comfort her, but after thinking about it, they felt that even if they didn't comfort her, being gentle wouldn't be a big deal.
This girl is a strong person in her brain, and she would never fight with anyone over these things.
After leaving Yuanju Pavilion, Wu Qianhuan sighed:
"Master Liuye must have deep feelings for Sect Leader Ji, right? That's why he used this roundabout method to leave this secret book behind.
"Instead of handing this secret book to her in person."
Chu Qing thought about it and felt that this matter was hard to say.
It's actually a bit strange...
You can obviously give it in person, why go through this roundabout way?
Could it be that he was worried that Ji Yexue would not accept him?
But if Ji Yexue didn't accept them back then, would she have accepted them even if she came to Wanbao Tower and got these things?
What's more, Ji Yexue has never been to Wanbao Tower since then.
Chu Qing couldn't figure out these things, and he didn't want to think about them anymore.
Just as I was about to go to the second floor, I saw that he was not a monk.
He sat cross-legged, clasped his palms together, and muttered something.
Chu Qing came up to him and looked down at him:
"Big monk."
The monk opened his eyes and looked at Chu Qing:
"Donor, is there something you want to ask me?"
"Just a little curious..."
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"The great monk has profound knowledge of Buddhism, and has a great reputation in the martial arts world.
“Now you are being hunted by the son of the Sword Emperor… He explained it to me clearly before, saying that you, a dishonest monk, stole his brother.
“Logically, it shouldn’t be like this, but it’s not my place to argue about the right and wrong, and I’m too lazy to do so.
"Now I'm curious, have you ever thought that this Wanbao Tower only exists tonight, and the guests will all leave tomorrow morning, what will you do?"
"Amitabha."
The monk lowered his eyebrows and said slowly:
"Are you sure that the person who stole his brother is me?"
"This is not."
Chu Qing said:
"I've said before, I'm not interested in this matter. I'm just curious, how do you plan to break the impasse?"
"You are in the chess game, but you are outside the world."
The monk didn't say it clearly, so he played a guessing game with Chu Qing.
Chu Qing smiled dumbly:
"Interesting... You mean, although you are in the game, your mind has already jumped out of it.
"That's quite a bold move. I'll wait and see."
He clasped his fists and walked upstairs.
"Donor, please wait."
The non-monk called out to him again.
Chu Qing looked back at him:
"Master, do you have anything to say?"
"I have something that is priceless. If I could buy your life from you, would you be willing?"
"Whose life are you buying?"
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Buy the life of this poor monk."
"I don't want to."
Chu Qing waved his hand and went upstairs without saying anything more.
However, the monk did not say much. He just quietly watched Chu Qing and the other two go upstairs, then closed his eyes again.
The stairs were not too long and we reached the end quickly.
A maid-like girl came up to him, bowed slightly, and then spoke:
"Would you three like to continue upstairs, or would you like to stay here for a while?"
"How do you say go up to the building? How do you say stay here?"
"If you want to continue to go upstairs, I will take you to the stairs on the third floor. If you want to stay here and do business with my Wanbao Tower, please wait a moment and let me see which room is empty and lead you there."
The maidservant spoke calmly and without hesitation.
Chu Qing nodded and said:
"Then stay. I have something to check."
"Okay, there are no guests in the Yi Hai room right now, please follow me."
She turned and left as she spoke.
Chu Qing glanced at her back twice, and Wu Qianhuan gently pulled his sleeve. He asked in his mind with a fake smile:
"Does it look good?"
"Not bad, worse than you."
Chu Qing answered casually.
Wenrou suddenly turned her head and looked at Wu Qianhuan. Wu Qianhuan blushed and glared at Chu Qing.
Look at the girl leading the way in front...
In fact, Wu Qianhuan was not being jealous on purpose. It was mainly because most of the maids in Wanbao Tower were not dressed appropriately.
Not only is the material thin, but there is also not enough of it.
The maid in front of me is just like this. Not only does she have an excellent appearance and a great figure, but her clothes are also made of very economical fabrics.
And if you look from behind, your hips sway gracefully with every swaying step.
Not to mention Chu Qing, a man, even she, a woman, would blush when she saw it.
Chu Qing's smiling voice sounded again in the Tianlai sound transmission:
“Well, whether it’s the puppets welcoming guests outside or the maids and servants serving inside the Wanbao Tower, none of them are ordinary characters.
"The cultivation base of these girls is not weak..."
"Wanbaolou has been famous in the world for many years, so it is natural that it has such a background."
Wu Qianhuan said softly:
"I'm more curious about who the person on the third floor is?"
"I don't know."
The matter involved a lot of things, and Chu Qing didn't ask Huangfu Yixiao about it, but he expected it to be very complicated.
Judging from the fact that she would frequently write letters to Huangfu Changkong to accuse Huangfu Yixiao of his evil deeds, at least her elders were among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
The rumor that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are behind the Wanbao Tower makes this story somewhat plausible.
While Tianlai and Wu Qianhuan were chatting gently and casually, they had already arrived at the Yi Hai room.
When I opened the door, the girl was standing in front of it:
"Please come in, I'll be waiting at the door. Please tell me if you need anything."
Chu Qing nodded and stepped into the room.
The room was not big, with only one table, and a woman was sitting behind the table.
Chu Qing was a little surprised:
"Is this Wanbao Tower a land of women? There are girls everywhere, but few men."
The girl smiled:
"Excuse me, sir. The head of the family is a woman, and Yunying is unmarried, so naturally the servants are mainly women." "I see, that's how it is. Suddenly it makes sense."
Chu Qing nodded, and a few chairs were prepared in front of the table. Chu Qing and the other two sat down, and then the girl said:
"I am receiving guests in the Yi Hai Room, so I named it Yi Hai. May I ask what you would like to buy?"
"Can you really buy anything?"
Chu Qing asked.
"Naturally."
Yi Hai nodded:
"Everything in this world is unattainable except the sun and the moon. Even if you want the stars, we can get them for you."
"Forget it then. Who knows if there's any radiation up there?"
Chu Qing smiled and shook his head.
This made Yi Hai a little confused. She didn't understand what "radiation" meant. However, as a member of Wanbaolou, she should be well-informed. How could she be fooled by a customer? No matter if he had heard of it or not, she should not make a fuss!
He immediately smiled and asked:
"The guest hasn't said yet, what do you want?"
"Tianfo Temple."
Trina got straight to the point:
"I want the location of Tianfo Temple."
"Tianfo Temple..."
After a moment of silence, Yi Hai took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the three words "Tianfo Temple".
Then he pulled a rope next to the table.
The next moment, a hole suddenly appeared in the wall.
She placed the paper inside the wall and pulled the rope again, followed by the sound of the machine operating.
Yi Hai said to Chu Qing:
"Sir, please wait a moment."
"it is good."
Chu Qing nodded, knowing that there was another mechanism inside the wall.
The girl wrote down the three words "Tianfo Temple" to pass the information to the team behind her, who then organized and summarized the information about Tianfo Temple.
Then it was passed to Yi Hai.
Of course, a quote may have to be added.
So it will take some time...
But this time was a little longer than Chu Qing imagined.
Yi Hai seemed a little restless as well, and from time to time he looked at Chu Qing's expression to see if he was a little impatient. His efforts to pretend to be calm were no longer working.
Seeing this, Chu Qing said:
"Speaking of which, your Wanbao Building can buy anything... What if I want to buy this Wanbao Building?"
“As long as you can afford the price, you can buy it.”
Yi Hai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Chu Qing speak, and answered with a smile.
Chu Qing shook his head:
“That’s a bit of a panacea.
"If you offer a price that others can't afford, isn't it just empty talk?"
"Wanbaolou's offer is absolutely fair."
Yi Hai emphasized again.
"Then calculate, if I want to buy you, how much silver will it cost?"
Chu Qing suddenly said something shocking.
Yi Hai was unmoved, but picked up the abacus beside him and started calculating.
Chu Qing was a little curious:
"What are you calculating?"
"It's the price..."
Yi Hai said:
"I have to figure out how much Wanbaolou has spent training me up to now. This is the cost.
"Secondly, I have to figure out what you can do with me after I sell it to you? How much value can I create?
“My martial arts skills are not weak. Now I am in Lingbei. Compared with the masters in Lingbei, my martial arts skills should not be inferior to that of Dai Zongming, the leader of Qianhua Sect.
“Even though there is a slight gap, it’s not far.
“So in that respect, I’m still quite useful.
"Then... I am still a woman. If you buy me and want me to carry on your family line, or use me to win over others... how much benefit can you get in return... I..."
When Chu Qing started, he was listening with great interest.
But after hearing the latter part, I felt a little uncomfortable.
She commoditized everything she was capable of as a human being.
And this should not just be directed at her, not just men or women.
Anyone can sell goods in Wanbaolou.
This is the background color of the entire Wanbao Building.
Chu Qing shook his head gently, waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I just said it casually, you don't have to take it so seriously."
"Ok."
Yi Hai nodded, put down the abacus and said:
“But according to preliminary estimates, my valuation should be around 15,000 taels of gold.
"You can use a small knife, but you can't chop it with a big knife."
Chu Qing was almost at her wit's end, so she grinned and said:
"There used to be Lixing Mansion and Liaoyuan Mansion in Lingbei, which were engaged in the slave trade... It was a pity that you didn't come at that time."
Yi Hai smiled and said:
"Slave trading exists everywhere in the world, how do you know that I am not one of them?
“When I was a child, I was bought by Wanbaolou.
"Now customers can spend silver to buy me back."
Chu Qing didn't say anything else. He actually overlooked something so obvious...
At this moment, a clicking sound came from under the table.
Yi Hai reached out and took out a scroll.
She slowly unfolded it, followed by a frown on her face.
He looked at Chu Qing and said:
“There are many rumors about Tianfo Temple, but most of them are false.
“It’s the fog released by the Tianxie Cult… According to investigations, the abbot of the Tianfo Temple is the Buddha King, one of the Twelve Holy Kings of the Tianxie Cult.
"He is a highly skilled martial artist, and he, along with the Evil Prince and the Tomb Prince, are the top three of the Twelve Holy Kings.
“The Tianxie Cult is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is extremely difficult to capture accurate traces.
"Even my Wanbao Tower does not know the exact location of Tianfo Temple..."
Although the location of Tianfo Temple was not revealed, the information revealed by this sentence was enough for Chu Qing to gain something.
Among the twelve holy kings, is there another evil prince?
And the Tomb Prince is actually ranked among the top three?
This was unexpected for Chu Qing.
Chu Qing frowned slightly:
"Even you don't know where the Tianfo Temple is?"
"I don't know."
Yi Hai said:
“But there are still some clues…
“According to our Wanbaolou investigation, two months ago, someone accidentally entered Tianfo Temple and managed to get out alive.
"If you want to find Tianfo Temple, you may gain something by finding this person."
Chu Qing frowned:
"Who is he? Where is he now?"
Yi Hai glanced at the scroll again and said softly:
"This news is worth three thousand taels of silver."
Chu Qing didn't say much, he just took out a few banknotes from Wanbao Bank and placed them on the table.
Yi Hai reached out and took the banknotes, checking them one by one.
After confirming that there was no problem, he said:
“This man’s name is Wan Chunhua, and he is known as the Lone Whale Blade in the martial arts world.
"As for his whereabouts, he is now... in Wanbao Tower."
