Chapter 741: If You Mix in the World, You Eventually Have to Pay It Back

After the Size Ruyi Long Breath, the Heavenly Boat Chamber of Commerce kept a few rare and clever items to auction off to end the show, just like the send-off play after the opera curtain falls.

Many bidders opened their eyes today, and seeing that the things were expensive but not practical, there was no excitement, so they packed up their items and left the venue one after another, taking their corresponding auction item vouchers.

"You go to exchange it alone; can it be done?" Xu Xu Zishuai peels the last lychee on the table and stuffs it into his mouth.

"Whether it can be done or not, let's try it first."

"Junior brother, you really aren't dragging General Xu along?" Xiang Xiang Zhangsong asks. "It concerns Long Breath; having a third party to testify would avoid disputes."

"Absolutely not!"

Liang Qu flatly rejects it.

He is his direct superior after all; although they don't have much contact on weekdays, he absolutely knows his personality.

Stubborn and headstrong.

He would rather lose a thousand himself than not make the enemy lose eight hundred.

He doesn't even eat soft or hard, and simple brainless praise like the old toad's is useless; one must find the key.

Not everyone can be manipulated by interests; there are always people who dare to explode if you dare to pinch, only recognizing their own dead logic, which is difficult to deal with.

Liang Qu's cheap grand-senior brother Guan Guan Congjian counts as one; he looks like a martial arts fanatic, but in reality, winning or losing doesn't matter, he only seeks to have his thoughts clear.

Coincidentally, Wei Lin is the same.

Therefore, even if he risked the other party not being able to buy it, he had to wait until after the auction to mention it and exchange it.

If he had said it directly before the auction, it would be no different from a demand. Wei Lin would absolutely be able to do something like giving up the Red Breath, and leading his own Grandmasters to the door, which would also have the suspicion of doubting the other party's character and intensifying the conflict, which would instead increase resistance.

There are all kinds of people in the world, and one still needs to prescribe the right medicine for the illness.

"Fine."

The senior brothers know that Liang Qu has always had his own ideas; let alone Pingyang, he can be like a fish in water wherever he mixes, so they don't say anything more.

The auction ends.

The crowd gradually thins.

Liang Qu stays alone in the third-floor private room for a while, watching Wei Lin and his Jiang Zongshi uncle Yang Yang Weizhi leave, turning into a small tail, following them with small steps, not in a hurry to say anything, not in a hurry to do anything.

Wei Lin glances at Liang Qu trailing behind, ignoring him.

Backstage.

Liang Qu keeps a distance of more than ten steps, waiting silently.

Director Lu of the Heavenly Boat Chamber of Commerce personally takes out the jade box and hands it to Wei Lin.

Jiang Zongshi Yang Yang Weizhi also takes out the Heaven-Sent Long Breath and silver banknotes.

Both sides exchange and check.

Confirmed correct.

Wei Lin puts away the jade box and walks toward the stairs, passing Liang Qu, and stops his steps.

"Speak, what is it?"

Liang Qu bows and salutes, getting straight to the point: "Subordinate has a streak of Heaven and Earth Long Breath, obtained from the Dragon People, and wishes to exchange it for Size Ruyi."

Long Breath?

The corner is silent.

Yang Yang Weizhi and Wei Lin look at each other, and even Director Lu behind them, and many people paying attention to this room are all surprised.

There are enough Long Breaths today; from beginning to end, there were actually a full six streaks?

Some seek one streak and find it difficult, yet some can choose the best and most suitable...

Yang Yang Weizhi asks: "What kind of Long Breath is it?"

"Top-grade Long Breath, Sun Flame."

"Sun Flame?"

Wei Lin shows interest, reaching out his hand.

Liang Qu immediately pulls out a crimson treasure box from his sleeve, holding it up with both hands.

The treasure box is crafted from crimson flame fire crystal, like amber glaze oozing blood.

Long Breath cannot be exposed outside its exclusive container for a long time, otherwise, there is a risk of returning to heaven and earth. To appear as if he used a normal method to collect the Long Breath, Liang Qu had to ask the old toad for divination, finding a material that wasn't shabby and could contain the Red Breath.

A full three thousand taels!

Personal assets plummeted to five thousand.

If he can't exchange it, it can be called a huge cost loss.

Separated by the semi-transparent orange-red crystal, the red Long Breath floats and drifts.

Opening the lid, rolling heat waves rush toward his face, and it looks just like a brilliant sun rising!

Wei Lin's expression moves.

Excellent flame fire.

He actually gave birth to a bit of desire.

This kid actually has such a treasure?

Click!

The big hand closes the lid.

Yang Yang Weizhi closes the wooden box, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Good for you, kid, running here to take advantage?"

Selling umbrellas on a rainy day.

Hoarding for speculation.

The Heaven-Sent Long Breath is worth so much because the recipient is the Heavenly Boat Chamber of Commerce, the imperial family.

Although he doesn't know if the so-called Sun Flame in front of him is really top-grade, for Wei Lin, just the top-tier fire attribute alone is truly more valuable than ordinary Long Breath.

Having just made a profit by hoarding, he didn't expect to be treated to a round by a junior in the blink of an eye.

The other party is a Jiang Zongshi, and Liang Qu is not a barefoot man, having the confidence to be neither humble nor arrogant.

"I wouldn't dare. Today there are countless heroes, how would I know who would win the Size Ruyi Long Breath? It's just that seeing Commander Wei take it, I thought this Long Breath was indeed more suitable, and that's why I had a bit of luck and came to try."

"There are many Grandmasters, true, but today those with strength are none other than me and Xu Xu Wenzhu!"

"Great Huang Taizu was the Golden Star Enlightenment, and now it reappears, which shows that although rare objects are precious, they are not unique."

"Uncle." Wei Lin interrupts.

"Also true, you are the one eating Qi, so you should decide." Yang Yang Weizhi gives up the right to decide, reminding him slightly, "Both are top-grade; in the eyes of ordinary people, Size Ruyi might be more valuable."

Wei Lin looks at Liang Qu, raising the jade box and the fire crystal box.

"Convince me."

Liang Qu thinks for a moment.

"The weak act according to luck, the strong win by strength. The world is impermanent; only self-improvement can be relied upon."

"Heh." Wei Lin grins, backhanding the fire crystal box to Director Lu. "Trouble Director Lu to find a master to probe it."

"Wait a moment."

The movement in the corner attracts many people.

Director Lu teaches people to pull open a screen to block and separate, then leads people alone to a small secret room, serving tea and pastries.

"What's the situation?"

"Seems like they are exchanging Long Breath again."

"Why would Liang Qu have Long Breath?"

"Heard it's the Dragon People's; you say, could it be a dowry?"

"Dowry? What dowry, tell me in detail!"

Waiting until evening.

A familiar figure walks into the room.

Lan Lan Jicai?

Liang Qu thinks for a moment and understands. Lan Lan Jicai and Xu Xu Wenzhu came to Pingyang together, but Xu Xu Wenzhu could be seen often, while Lan Lan Jicai hadn't been seen for many days, not knowing where he went to have fun.

Acquaintances are good.

Acquaintances are convenient!

Lan Lan Jicai puts down the fire crystal box: "Sun Flame Fire Essence, top-grade fire attribute, can remove the dross and keep the essence, has the effect of burning, refining, and advancing all things, must not intersect with water and wood."

Liang Qu relaxes in his heart.

Unsurprisingly, fire and sun, two keywords put together, whatever comes out shouldn't be bad. It's just that it's opposite to water and wood, and doesn't fit his Ze Tripod, so it's hard to show its effect.

On the table, the jade box and the fire crystal box are side by side.

"How is it?"

Yang Yang Weizhi looks at Wei Lin.

It concerns a Jiang Zongshi; no matter how close the person is, they can't intervene.

If he gives the wrong advice, resentment will arise in the future, and disaster will surely occur; it's a major matter that can't be taken lightly.

Wei Lin asks: "Can Master Lan calculate a suitable medium?"

"Fire-attribute media are easy to find, but media vary from person to person, and success rates differ. If you add up all the diviners in Pingyang Prefecture, it's estimated it would take four or five days to calculate. But you kid are lucky to run into me, Lan, stopping in Pingyang." Lan Lan Jicai changes the subject, his face revealing pride. "You refined the Red Demon Peng in your true Qi, and cultivate the 'Ling Sun Heavenly Steel Art', right?"

Wei Lin doesn't deny it.

"Treasure Sun Flower, the success rate is at least sixty percent, and combined with the Sun Flame in hand, it can rise to seventy percent. You can try to refine your Dharma image into a Three-Legged Golden Crow. I remember the Sun Flower only needs eight great merits..."

Liang Qu understands: "Commander, Sun Flower and Sun Flame, exchange for a streak of Size Ruyi."

"One hundred thousand taels of silver."

"What?"

Wei Lin says indifferently: "Sun Flower, Sun Flame, and one hundred thousand taels of silver, for a streak of Size Ruyi."

Everyone is stunned.

Why, for no reason, is there an extra one hundred thousand taels?

It's not much, not little, but compared to the two treasures, it's not worth mentioning at all, belonging to the easiest thing to obtain.

Only Liang Qu guesses the reason.

Doubled it.

Eh.

If you mix in the world,

you eventually have to pay it back.
