Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Emperor Jiang’s things are very valuable

Although the Ruyi Gourd behaved strangely, Jiang Li did not think that it was a spiritual treasure that had transformed.

The hatred had been aroused, and Jiang Li was waiting for the meeting to end. He no longer focused on the stage.

“I know that all of you fellow Taoists are looking forward to these last three items.” The old auctioneer did not keep the suspense any longer, and lifted the curtain to reveal an ordinary brush.

Jiang Li felt that this thing was very familiar.

The Confucian monks Wang Bian and Dean Meng unconsciously increased their breathing, showing extreme urgency.

They attended the auction today just for this thing.

“I believe everyone has guessed it. That’s right, this is the brush used by Jiang Li, the current Emperor of the World and the only Mahayana cultivator!”

“!!!” Jiang Li’s eyes suddenly widened.

“Excuse me, how can your chamber of commerce prove that this is a brush used by Emperor Jiang?” Wang Bian asked.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Wang Bian, don’t be anxious, just listen to my introduction. Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is well-known throughout the nine provinces, and we certainly won’t ruin our reputation.”

The old auctioneer introduced calmly: “As everyone knows, after leaving the Jiang family, Emperor Jiang Ren joined the Huayun Sect, and he is also a good friend of Yunbo, the current supreme elder of the Huayun Sect.”

“This brush was provided by Yunbo, which states that Emperor Jiang Ren used this brush to record the income and expenditure of the Huayun Sect five hundred years ago, helping the Huayun Sect to come back to life.”

The old auctioneer showed a certificate written by Yunbo himself and dripped with blood.

“After Emperor Jiang Ren left Huayun Sect, Yunbo, remembering his kindness, treasured this brush and didn’t let it get dusty.”

“Now that Huayun Sect has caught up with the trend of spiritual treasures giving birth to spiritual intelligence, it wants to expand the sect and needs spirit stones, so it reluctantly parted with it and sold the brush.”

“Based on historical records, the Chamber of Commerce sought verification from many parties and finally confirmed that this brush was the brush used by Emperor Jiang Ren!”

“The starting price, one hundred high-quality spirit stones!”

“Ahem!” Jiang Li was shocked by the price, “This brush is not even a spiritual treasure, how can it be so valuable?”

It’s true that he used the brush, but the price was a bit outrageous.

“Brother, you are surprised by something unusual.” Someone explained to Jiang Li, “What is the Huayun Sect? That is where Jiang Renhuang made his fortune. This brush was used by Jiang Renhuang, which already makes it very valuable, not to mention that it was used in the Huayun Sect. It is a cultural relic that cannot be bought with money! It is priceless!”

“You know Dean Meng, he is a famous collector of Jiang Renhuang’s cultural relics. This brush is a symbol of Jiang Renhuang’s status in the cultural relics world!”

“???”

“There is also the Confucian walking Wang Bian, who is a famous analyst in Jiang Renhuang’s literary world. He admires Jiang Renhuang’s works the most. This brush has been with Jiang Renhuang for several months. As a literati, who doesn’t want to get this brush!”

“???”

“Whoever can get this brush may be able to get some inspiration from Jiang Renhuang and become as talented as Jiang Renhuang.” “

It’s a pity that I’m just a small businessman and I don’t have enough spirit stones. Otherwise, I would have to buy this brush and bless my son’s head.”

“???”

Jiang Li was full of question marks after listening to the introduction.

Am I just out of touch with the times? What the hell is this Jiang Renhuang cultural relics and literary world?!

Ruyi Gourd was also listening, feeling it couldn’t understand the human way of thinking.

While Jiang Li and Ruyi Gourd were both bewildered, the brush had already been auctioned off for a whopping seven hundred and eighty high-grade spirit stones.

That’s enough to buy a decent Fusion Stage cultivation manual.

“Your used items are so valuable?”

Ruyi Gourd had a newfound appreciation for Jiang Li’s financial resources. Jiang Renhuang would never be short of spirit stones. Judging by the looks of it, even the candied haws sticks he’d eaten might fetch a good price.

“I just found out today too.” Jiang Li wasn’t sure what to say.

Ultimately, Dean Meng, with his deep pockets, bought the brush home.

“Frame it when you get home and hang it somewhere prominent for all you fellow practitioners to see.” Dean Meng had already mapped out his next move.

“The second treasure is the calligraphy of Emperor Jiang Ren. The meaning of the words has been interpreted by many powerful minds, but no consensus has emerged. What exactly does this sentence mean, what did Emperor Jiang Ren express? This is a mystery that the cultivation world has yet to crack.”

The auctioneer displayed a small piece of paper and, after using magic to magnify it, everyone could clearly see the words. “

Odds change, evens don’t; the symbol depends on the quadrant. “

Jiang Li facepalmed.

This was a mnemonic he’d learned when he was bored in the Huayun Sect and made up his own function problems.

“I heard a powerful mind in the Fusion Stage explain that ‘odd’ and ‘even’ refer to odd and even days, ‘symbol’ is the secret code left by Emperor Jiang Ren, and ‘quadrant’ refers to filling in the secret code in the appropriate place.”

“What this means is that in a place where odd days change, but even days don’t, filling in the appropriate symbol in the ‘quadrant’ will unlock the treasure left by Emperor Jiang Ren.”

“That sounds like nonsense, a heresy,” someone retorted.

Jiang Li nodded gently.

The man continued, “‘奇’ is a homophone of ‘鸡’, and 奇变 means 鸡变, which means chopping the chicken into small pieces. ‘偶’ is a homophone of ‘莲花’, and 偶不变 means 欧不变, which means the whole lotus root is unbroken.”

“The symbol refers to the rune that controls firepower, and 看四期 refers to observing the four symbols of the starry sky.”

“This sentence is about stewing the chicken pieces and the whole lotus root together, adjusting the heat according to the changes in the starry sky.”

“That’s how you make the old hen stewed with lotus root that Emperor Jiang loves most.”

What the hell is old hen stewed with lotus root?!

Isn’t candied haws my favorite food?

“Excuse me, brother, who said that Emperor Jiang loves old hen stewed with lotus root?”

“It is said that Emperor Jiang suddenly felt hungry while visiting Youshan, so he went to a nearby village for dinner. When the people learned it was the Emperor, they happily slaughtered an old hen and entertained him. After eating the old hen stewed with lotus root, Emperor Jiang praised it highly.”

“Didn’t Emperor Jiang fast? Why are you still hungry?” Jiang Li asked.

“I don’t know about that, but that’s what everyone’s saying.”

Jiang Li felt that today’s auction had truly opened his eyes.

“While the meaning of this sentence is unclear, it’s undoubtedly the handwriting of Emperor Jiang Ren. Whoever obtains this note might have a chance to comprehend Jiang Ren’s meaning.”

“Starting price: one thousand high-grade spirit stones.”

Compared to the brush, this note was clearly more valuable. Wang Bian and Dean Meng were locked in a fierce battle, sending the price soaring.

In the end, Wang Bian purchased Jiang Ren’s calligraphy for two thousand one hundred and twenty-three high-grade spirit stones.

“It seems everyone’s really excited,” the old man presiding over the auction was practically grinning. With a 15% commission, their Chamber of Commerce had made a killing this time.

“Today’s grand finale—the Heavenly Book left behind by Emperor Jiang Ren!”

Jiang Li leaped to his feet, his gaze fixed on the book.

This was a chuunibyou novel he’d written in the language of his past life after traveling to Kyushu!

It contained passages like “How dare you violate the King’s will?” “I fear not being the enemy of the world.” “I grant you death; it’s your honor.” “Those who have fallen into darkness forever yearn for light.”

This is something that absolutely cannot be seen by others!
