Trading rare treasures
This is indeed a possibility.
In the Xia Dynasty, there were flowing clouds chasing the moon, in Dayong there were sky and water, in Daqing there were Qinglingguo tea trees. On the contrary, in the past, Daqi, the strongest, and DaViet, the most dishonest, did not have any praiseworthy and stable output of rare treasures.
Those things are indeed better than ordinary things, but they do not play a decisive role. Only a few people can enjoy them in the world, and they cannot exert their true value.
It is somewhat exaggerated to say that food is tasteless and it is a pity to throw it away, but it is not wrong to say that pearls are covered with dust.
But don’t forget that in the age of extraordinary spirits, you can still show your own magical treasures. If you encounter the catalysis and nurturance of spiritual energy, will An Zhi show jaw-dropping abilities and effects?
It's just that the spiritual stone that fell in Yuzhou before was not even used by many people, so naturally no one would be so extravagant to gamble on it.
However, in the Buzhou Mountains, which is unknown how far away from the Xia Dynasty, a group of guys who have begun to cultivate immortality have set their sights on the treasures of various countries. They even sent a group of masters to trade from thousands of miles away.
"Qizhen, how do you deal?"
In a flash of thought, Gu Dan has understood that if it is a rare treasure, a master is indeed needed to take action.
"Then it depends on each other's needs and vision."
Tao Shushan smiled and said: "The same thing has different values in the eyes of different people. As long as we can reach a consensus as much as possible, we can naturally trade. There is no fixed price, it just depends on whether we can achieve cooperation." intention."
"Barter?"
Wang Mang asked.
This method can be described as quite primitive.
However, what has to be admitted is that when faced with something that is valuable enough but cannot figure out the specific value, it is also a choice that can allow both parties to meet their psychological expectations.
"Yes."
Tao Shushan nodded and said: "It's a pity that this place is too far away from the Buzhou Mountains. Otherwise, we could have used spiritual stones to trade, which would be much more convenient."
"Spiritual stone?"
Qing Pingzi muttered something involuntarily.
If you want to cultivate immortality, you won’t even have a chance to start without spiritual energy.
Spiritual stones are things that store spiritual energy!
"That's right."
Tao Shushan casually took out a slightly precious jade box from his sleeve, and then gently opened the lid. A milky white jade-like object the size of a fist was hidden inside.
"This is a spiritual stone condensed by the monks in the Buzhou Mountains. It is temporarily used as a basic form of currency. It is just that it has been used too much, and now I only have a few samples left here for everyone to appreciate. "
Tao Shushan nonchalantly handed the jade box in his hand to the people in front of him and motioned for them to take a look.
The jade box was turned around in the hands of Gu Dan, Qing Pingzi, and Wang Mang. As Gu Dan, who had absorbed and used spiritual energy, he could naturally tell that the jade in the box indeed contained spiritual energy and could not be faked.
"Have you solved the problem of spiritual energy escaping?"
Qing Pingzi asked one more question.
"Ha, it's not a big problem. It's just a specially made, simple version of the spirit masking array. It can be kept for a hundred years at most, but the cost is much more than the spiritual energy stored in this spirit stone."
Tao Shushan shrugged helplessly and said: "You are just talking empty words, you have to come up with something to show everyone, right?"
"Such a small piece of spiritual stone is not convincing enough."
Qing Pingzi returned the spirit stone to Tao Shushan. He himself was the leader of the alchemists and he understood deeply what it means to pull a tiger's skin into a chess game.
If you dig out a slightly different coffin, you can boast that it was used by an immortal, and you can be resurrected by hiding it in it.
When it comes to this, he is also one of the top people.
"Of course there is something more illustrative."
Tao Shushan was not annoyed when faced with Qing Pingzi's continuous questioning, "When doing business, you must always show sincerity. What's more, the transactions are treasures from various countries. Wait until all the people you should see are here. , there is something else I can show you, which is better than explaining it again and again."
"In this case, please rest in the palace for a few days. Some masters have not returned yet."
Wang Mang spoke at the right time and did not rush to let him show it off right now.
"No problem. However, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations usually stays in a country for no more than half a month at most. If you are not ready after half a month, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations will have to take the first step."
Tao Shu is good at following good deeds, but he never forgets to remind him.
"no problem."
Wang Mang nodded, and then waved his hand. Naturally, guards came to take the people from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations to rest.
After confirming that they were all gone, Wang Mang looked at Gu Dan first and asked, "Brother Gu, what do you think?"
As the number one in the world recognized by several surrounding countries, Gu Dan has always had the right to speak. The Grandmaster is not his opponent at all, and his vision is far beyond that of the Grandmaster.
If Gu Dan couldn't see any flaws or find any problems, then the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations probably really doesn't have any big problems.
"The spirit stone is real, and there is no flaw in what he said."
Gu Dan's consciousness is very sharp today. If the other party is deliberately deceiving, it will not be difficult to find clues.
Of course, we can't rule out that the other party is gifted. Even he believes what he says, and others can't tell.
But in this kind of transaction, everyone must be cautious, and the possibility of being deceived is very small, because the real initiative lies with the Xia Dynasty.
If the Xia Dynasty is unwilling to trade, it will be useless for Tao Shushan to talk about it.
It's just that we must be on guard against others. The sudden appearance of such a Chamber of Commerce of All Nations that we have never heard of before, and the news that there is a fairy court in the world, will inevitably make people feel uneasy.
"Then let's wait until the other masters come back and let's take a look at where his confidence comes from?"
Wang Mang asked.
The Grandmaster is indeed the pinnacle of the world, but if you want to do business directly with a country, the transaction is still rare treasures, how can it be that simple.
Apart from anything else, what if we encounter a ruthless country?
A grandmaster of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations travels all over the world with spirit stones and rare treasures collected from other countries. There is no guarantee that no grandmaster will want to take advantage of him!
The more Tao Shushan talks, the better the things he brings out, and the more he stimulates the greed in people's hearts - many times the grandmaster will appear to be generous, that's because he doesn't care at all. It really makes the grandmaster tempted and dares to live and die. I don’t know how many people are fighting against each other.
The really scary thing about a grandmaster is that he is alone and has no worries, rather than walking around with a heavy treasure and feeling like he is invincible.
"Let the officials investigate the people of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations. It is best to gather them together and meet them once. Don't miss anyone."
Gu Dan thought for a while and then said.
When it comes to immortality, we must be careful and have no room for mistakes.
"good."
Wang Mang nodded in response, "I will send people to notify the other four countries, so that I can keep him for a while, and also gather the people of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations together."
Wang Mang does things very quickly.
Or should I say, the Grandmaster moves very quickly.
After Wang Mang's letter was sent, the Xia Dynasty Grandmaster who received the letter rushed over as quickly as possible.
Regardless of whether what Tao Shushan said is true or false, it deserves to be treated with caution by every master.
Because they have seen the strength above the master, and one person can conquer the four countries!
Fortunately, that being had kind thoughts and did not let the common people fall into pain, but just because one person is like this does not mean that everyone is like this!
In fairy tales, flying to the sky and escaping from the earth is just an ordinary thing, and it is not difficult to cross rivers and seas with one move. How much more is it better than a master?
If it is false, it would be fine. If what Tao Shushan said is true, it means that a higher level of power has appeared in the world. However, due to distance and time, it has not yet affected the Xia Dynasty. In terms of emotion and reason, everyone Neither can sit still and wait for death.
Even the Mohists, who were least interested in seeking immortality, immediately rushed to the imperial capital without any delay after Qin Lisheng received Wang Mang's urgent letter from Wang Mang.
In just over ten days, all the grandmasters of the Xia Dynasty had gathered.
Qin Lisheng, Xun Ke, Qing Pingzi, Zou Dan, Zhuang Sheng, and two other masters who had defected from other countries and were nearing their end, as well as a native Xia Dynasty master.
If Gu Dan is also included, there are a total of nine grandmasters in the Xia Dynasty at this time, which is by no means a small number.
In addition to acquaintances, it is not surprising that in the past thirty-eight years, the Xia Dynasty has only had one unknown, native-born grandmaster of the Xia Dynasty. This grandmaster was still a subject of Dayue!
A baby born in the Xia Dynasty would be only thirty-eight years old this year, and if he wanted to become a master, it would take at least forty years to eliminate the anomaly Gu Dan.
The country's prosperity is multifaceted, but the effects may not be immediately apparent.
The reason why today's grandmasters seem to be a bit out of touch is because the next generation has not really grown up yet.
What can be expected is that in the next ten to twenty years, the number of grandmasters in the Xia Dynasty will probably experience a small explosion.
When the country is rich and the people are strong, in addition to studying literature, they also practice martial arts.
It’s true that you can become a prince and prime minister by practicing literary studies, and you can also be a master at the top of your martial arts practice, which is absolutely true!
The older generation who had been affected by the war had never emerged from the gloom of the war. Most of them still hope that their children can master some martial arts. With the base piled up, as long as the time comes, someone will definitely stand out.
What I have to sigh is that Qing Pingzi has really good vision. The two apprentices he selected have both been promoted to masters. I am afraid they also have some judgment methods that have not been told to Gu Dan.
After all these masters returned, Wang Mang immediately invited the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations again, and the meeting place was placed in a palace where the guards had been dismissed.
"Good guy, you look more and more like Mo Qiu."
Before Tao Shushan came, Gu Dan's eyes fell on Qin Lisheng's face and he sighed.
Qin Lisheng's face is very dark, very dark.
Sunburned.
The Grandmaster can strengthen his own flesh and blood, but it has not yet reached the point where he is literally transformed. Under the influence of the external environment over the years, the subtle superposition will still show up.
Although Qin Lisheng still doesn't look like an old man now, his dark face looks even more miserable than Mo Qiu did in the past.
Gu Dan had never seen this kind of posture in any grandmaster except the people of the Mo family.
"This should be considered a compliment."
Qin Lisheng was quite happy. Although under his leadership, the Mohist family showed a feeling of "increasing decline", the Mohist family was still the same Mohist family, and the Mohist was still the original Mohist. He could fully inherit the position of the Mohist giant, but Not an easy task.
"The Mohist family has not promoted morality for a long time."
Xun Ke was also beside them, chatting casually, "Why don't you see Mohist preaching?"
During the early days of the Xia Dynasty, Mohists in the Mohist family often came to promote their ideas.
But in recent years, the Mo family has stopped doing this kind of thing.
To say that this was all because of his influence, Xunke asked himself that he was not so proud here in Qinli Sheng.
"Where is the need for more propaganda? Is there anyone in the Xia Dynasty who doesn't know about the Mohist family?"
Qin Lisheng said very confidently: "The Mohist has been doing things, which is the best way to preach, without too many words."
As he said, everyone can hear the ten principles of Mohism.
Over the years, not a single word has been changed.
No one can tell the flowers.
In this case, why is there any need to tell it?
It would be better for the Mohist to put his own practice into practice.
The Mohist family under the leadership of Qin Lisheng is very pragmatic, and so is he himself.
"That's true. After so many years, even your elm-brained head is about to wake up, so you can avoid hitting the wall and never look back."
Xun Ke was very emotional.
He originally gave the Mo family time to change.
If Qin Lisheng is willing to revise it and leave a little room for morality itself.
However, whether Qin Li wins or not, he is determined not to change, and it is difficult for others to point out, but the decline of the Mohist family is obvious to all.
Confucianism, on the other hand, has been at its peak in recent years and has the potential to replace Mohism. If we look at the number of people alone, one Mohist is less than ten Confucians.
Of course, if we really want to talk about the firmness of belief, ten Confucian scholars probably cannot compare to one Mohist.
There are gains and losses, this is the norm.
The three of them chatted casually. The Mohist giant and the Confucian sage, who were said to be "equal in power" by the outside world, were not actually so tit-for-tat.
What they don't agree on is just their ideas. It doesn't mean they can't be friends.
Although the directions are different, their purpose is actually the same, which is to make the world a better place.
If you don't agree with your ideals, you don't necessarily have to fight to the death. You can bring it out and let all sentient beings in the world choose for themselves. Victory or failure is hidden in the hearts of the people.
Apart from here, further away, Qing Pingzi, Zou Dan and Zhuang Sheng gathered together to chat.
The remaining grandmasters also gathered together, chatting in twos and threes, and no one mentioned the next serious matter.
Until a series of footsteps came, Tao Shushan took the lead and walked over. Seeing nine grandmasters of the Xia Dynasty, he was not afraid at all. He said with a smile: "The Xia Dynasty is strong and has many heroes. I admire you!"
"No need to be so polite."
The grandmaster who was born and raised in the Xia Dynasty said in a nonchalant manner: "If you have any real skills, show them to us. If you deceive us, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Faced with such rude words, the smile on Tao Shushan's face became more kind and he said, "As you wish."
The next moment, he waved his sleeve gently, and a palm-sized token with the word 'Shang' appeared in his hand.
An overwhelming aura rushed out from the token, breaking through the master's limit in the blink of an eye!
The huge pressure has reached a level that is enough to make the grandmaster change his color!
This is a power beyond the master!
