Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

The person spying on Jiang Xiaochuan was none other than Cen Cheng, who had been scared away by Jiang Yuchuan's single glance in Taiping Town.

Jiang Xiaochuan was unaware that he was being targeted, or rather, even if he knew, he didn't care.

At that moment, he felt as if he had discovered a new continent, and he excitedly wandered through the streets and alleys of Yaoguang City.

Although he had a great time, Jiang Xiaochuan had already spent all the money he brought with him.

Touching his empty pockets, Jiang Xiaochuan sighed dejectedly, "What am I going to do? I've only been out for a short time and I'm already out of money."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing, who was perched on his shoulder, immediately mocked him telepathically, "Who told you to buy and eat everything you see? It's a miracle that you've managed to save up all the money Master gave you until now!"

"Don't make sarcastic remarks!"

Jiang Xiaochuan retorted defiantly, "I buy, buy, buy, eat, eat, eat, so why shouldn't you get a share? We're all in the same boat now. Don't you feel any guilt for mocking me like this?"

Xiaoqing was speechless for a moment after being rebuked.

Although it was extremely reluctant to admit it, what Jiang Xiaochuan said was true.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Xiaochuan certainly didn't mistreat it and Xiao Gu. He would buy three portions of whatever delicious food they wanted, which was very fair.

After a moment of silence, Xiaoqing suddenly caught sight of a huge building with the words "Wanjin Chamber of Commerce" in gold lettering not far ahead, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

"Oh right! If you don't have money, you can sell things! Didn't Master give you a lot of pills and stuff? Just take out any one of them, and you can get at least 10,000 taels of silver, enough for our expenses along the way."

Jiang Xiaochuan immediately agreed: "Great idea! Let's do it that way!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and headed toward the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as Jiang Xiaochuan stepped into the Chamber of Commerce, a smiling maid in an embroidered brocade dress greeted him.

"Welcome to Wan Jin Merchant Guild! May I ask what this young master needs?"

Jiang Xiaochuan looked the maid up and down and asked, "Are you the person in charge here?"

The maid was taken aback by the question, but out of a customer-first service principle, she smiled and replied gently, "I am not a manager. Today, Manager Xu and Manager Wan are on duty at the Chamber of Commerce. They are both very busy and it is difficult for ordinary customers to see them without prior appointment. If you have any needs, please tell me."

Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head: "Go and call your manager. You, a mere maid, can't make decisions about what I want to sell."

The maid's smile froze, and just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly heard an old voice behind her:

"I wonder what this young master wishes to sell? Would you please show it to me?"

Upon hearing this, the maid and Jiang Xiaochuan both looked at the gray-haired old man wearing a yellow brocade robe.

"Greetings, Elder Wan!"

The maid immediately bowed and greeted the old man.

"Are you in charge?"

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at the old man and asked.

The maid immediately introduced him to Jiang Xiaochuan: "This is Elder Wan, a renowned Class A appraiser of our Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce. If you wish to sell items in our Chamber of Commerce, you must first pass the appraisal."

"understood."

Jiang Xiaochuan nodded, then took a porcelain bottle from his pocket and tossed it to Elder Wan. "This is what I'm selling. What do you think its value is?"

"—Pills?"

Mr. Wan took the porcelain bottle and, somewhat curiously, removed the stopper.

To his surprise, the moment he uncorked the bottle, a rich and mellow fragrance of cinnamon wafted into his nostrils.

"This, this, this is a top-grade elixir!!!"

Elder Wan quickly resealed the bottle, staring at Jiang Xiaochuan with a look of utter shock. "May I ask how I should address you, young master? Do you truly intend to sell this pill?!"

Don't blame him for making such a fuss; top-grade pills are just too rare to come by!

While the Wan Jin Merchant Guild may not have an unlimited supply of top-grade pills, they certainly don't lack them.

But these top-grade pills are priceless!

Only alchemists of Earth Rank or above can possibly refine it.

Alchemists who can reach this level can be counted on one hand in the entire Tianque Continent!

It can be said that every top-grade pill that appears will attract countless powerful forces to compete for it, and the price will be ridiculously high.

Seeing Elder Wan's reaction, Jiang Xiaochuan realized that this top-grade pill was far more valuable than he had imagined. However, since he had already taken it out, there was no reason for him to take it back. Therefore, he replied:

"My surname is Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Jiang. Now that I've brought out these pills, I'm naturally selling them. I wonder what price your Wan Jin Merchant Guild is offering?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's words, Wan Laoqiang suppressed his excitement and immediately invited Jiang Xiaochuan up to the third floor.

After all, it concerns top-grade elixirs, so he must treat it with utmost care.

As Jiang Xiaochuan followed Elder Wan up to the third floor, the maid hurriedly ran to report the matter to the two stewards.

When Elder Wan led Jiang Xiaochuan into the VIP room on the third floor, maids had already prepared tea, fruits, and snacks.

After the two sat down, Elder Wan carefully poured out the pills in front of Jiang Xiaochuan and examined them carefully.

Although he could determine the grade of the pill just by the scent of it, this step of inspection was essential and could not be omitted even though he was the highest-ranking appraiser in the Wan Jin Merchant Guild.

"Excellent, excellent! It is undoubtedly a top-grade elixir!"

After confirming that everything was correct, Elder Wan put the pills back in their packaging and looked at Jiang Xiaochuan with a solicitous expression, asking, "Young Master Jiang, may I ask what the name of these pills is, and what their specific effects are?"

"This pill is called the Wood Spirit Pill."

Jiang Xiaochuan replied, "As for its effects, no matter how severe the injury, whether it is internal, hidden, or external, as long as this pill is taken, it can be healed immediately. In short, as long as there is still a breath left, the Wood Spirit Pill can save a person."

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's simple and blunt description, Wan Laoshou, who had just picked up his teacup, trembled and almost spilled the tea on himself.

"Is Young Master Jiang's statement true?!"

“I never lie,” Jiang Xiaochuan said. “If you don’t believe me, you can always ask an alchemist to come and check it out.”

"That's not what I meant."

Old Man Wan said with a forced smile, "It's just that the effects of this Wood Spirit Pill are too miraculous. I was a little out of line for a moment, and I hope Young Master Jiang will forgive me."

Jiang Xiaochuan waved his hand dismissively, picked up a pastry from the table and popped it into his mouth, then took another one for Xiaoqing.

Old Wan had observed Jiang Xiaochuan's actions. After his gaze lingered on Xiaoqing for a moment, he smiled and said:

"If Young Master Jiang wishes to sell this Wood Spirit Pill, I suggest that it be sold through an auction. This will maximize the value of this top-grade pill."

"auction?"

Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up. "You mean to put the Wood Spirit Pill at an auction, let people bid on it, and let the highest bidder win?"

"Not bad!"

Old Wan smiled and stroked his beard.

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's attitude, he knew that the other party would most likely agree to the auction proposal.

The reason he proposed the auction method was not only for Jiang Xiaochuan's sake, but also mainly to increase the reputation of the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce with this top-grade pill.

After all, there are tens of thousands of merchant guilds of all sizes in the eight prefectures of Yunzhou, but only a handful of them are fortunate enough to auction off top-grade pills.

It is conceivable that if the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce can successfully auction off this Wood Spirit Pill, its reputation will surely spread throughout the entire Yunzhou!
