Ask the Mirror Chapter 24: Consignment

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

When Shen Wan was about to enter the living room, Yu Ci had just stood up.

To be honest, in such a large residence without a maid, it would be rude to ask guests to walk from the front door to the front hall. However, Yu Ci believed that Shen Wan would not care about this. After all, strictly speaking, there was still some discord between them, and a little distance would be more conducive to the two of them settling their positions.

Yu Ci’s gaze fell on the female cultivator’s face through the gap between light and darkness inside and outside the hall. After a moment’s thought, he clasped his fists and greeted with a smile: “Mr. Shen, we left you in such a hurry last time, which was a loss of friendship. Forgive me, forgive me."

When Yu Ci spoke frankly about "old friends", a layer of barriers seemed to break silently between him and the female cultivator. When Shen Wan entered the hall, she still had a faint professional smile, but at this moment , the smile between her brows and eyes suddenly became vivid, and she also came up with the old name:

"It is indeed Yu Xianchang."

As she spoke, Shen Wan bowed in a gentle manner, which was pleasing to the eye. However, such courtesy still showed the distance between the two people. Of course, it seemed to be a little weak, but it was subtle and full of intention. After the ceremony, the female cultivator said:

"When I was in Hongyafang, I caught a glimpse, but I didn't dare to confirm it. I also felt rude when I came to visit. Now it's better, and I save a lot of embarrassment - Yu Xianchang is indeed aboveboard."

Yu Ci laughed dumbly. He had never wanted to conceal his identity deliberately. It was just that Wanquan was too guilty that day and a strange combination of circumstances delayed it until now. Although he and Shen Wan only met once, with the other's shrewdness, there was absolutely no way he could hide it with just a beard, and he was happy to confess.

However, Shen Wan is indeed a master in the business world. Regardless of their previous friendships, her ability to give top hats when meeting is still above her level. But at this time of year, there was no need to serve tea or anything else. Yu Ci asked her to sit down, without going around in circles, and said directly: "Shopkeeper Shen is here in person. Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here for business."

This was an expected answer. Yu Ci blinked and waited for the female cultivator to continue. However, Shen Wan suddenly changed her perspective: "Chang Yu must have just come back from there, and he should know that the tragedy in his workshop has been widely spread..."

"You mean Ling Wu and He Wuye?"

"Exactly."

Shen Wan smiled slightly, while Yu Ci once again lamented the speed at which news spread in Beihuang. But what does this have to do with Shen Wan?

"It's relevant."

The female cultivator said eloquently: "I think Immortal Yu has the same feeling. Now our pavilion is struggling in the underworld city. The traditional business has been squeezed by the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. It has also encountered many obstacles. It is difficult to pick up the momentum for a while. It is to find another one. When there is space. At this time, something like this happened to Sanjiafang, and the possibility of business shrinkage is extremely high. We, the merchants, naturally have to seize the opportunity and compete for the share that Sanjiafang spits out..."

"Is that so?" Yu Ci knew nothing about business practices, but at least he knew common sense. With the current strength of Sui Xin Pavilion in Yin Cave City, it was difficult to protect oneself, so how could one compete for share? What's more, Master He Wu died here, and the masterminds behind Sanjiafang were probably killing each other with red eyes. Is it seeking death to compete with them at this time?

So he said: "Sanjiafang is a local snake, your pavilion may be a strong dragon, but I am afraid that my support for you, shopkeeper Shen, is limited."

Yu Ci has directly pointed out Shen Wan's fate, but the female cultivator still calmly said: "What Yu Xianchang said is true, but this is not a battle for one city or one area, but a change in the overall situation."

In this regard, she just nodded lightly and quickly returned to her own situation: "Although I have been demoted here, I still have some old friends to support me. Mr. Huangfu, the chief steward of our cabinet in Beihuang, is It is an elder of my family. Although he cannot help directly due to certain people and things, he still gives me a chance: in half a year, an unprecedented grand "Xixin Dharma Ceremony" will be held in the "Fengdu City" in the north. There are many rare and rare treasures in this world displayed on it, at least 3,000 of them have been initially selected, and there are also top-notch treasures for the monks to bid for..."

Yu Ci then laughed: "Is this a competition with Zhenhuafang?"

Zhenhuafang is the highest-level market established by Sanjiafang. It is the leader in the black market in Beihuang, and its status is unshakable.

Shen Wan smiled: "That's right, but the time is actually more staggered."

It sounds like Suixin Pavilion is still wary of the big local snake in Beihuang to a certain extent, but if Shen Wan's description is true, his ambition is also quite high.

Yu Ci pondered for a moment and said: "Your pavilion's Sui Xin Dharma Conference is a rare event, but what does this have to do with me?

"As the semi-colon in the cabinet, I also have the requirement to collect rare treasures and build momentum for the event."

Shen Wan chuckled and said: "If I can provide a few influential magical treasures to the meeting to increase the influence of our pavilion in Beihuang, the future development will be much smoother. Mr. Huangfu can help This is all I have, so I came to see Yu Xianchang."

"Exotic treasures? Looking for me?"

Yu Ci began to seriously consider whether he was going to kill someone and silence him. Could it be that this woman really had some magical ability to detect treasures and observe qi, and could see that there were many hidden treasures in him?

Of course Shen Wan doesn't know what Yu Ci is thinking. She has already laid out her ideas, and now she just organizes them with appropriate words:

"For the purpose of the Suixin Dharma Assembly, I would like to purchase all the treasures from the Sword Garden in the hands of the Immortal."

"Sword Garden?" Yu Ci felt that he couldn't keep up with the female cultivator's thoughts. He repeated it, feeling a little confused.

"Yes, it's Jianyuan."

Shen Wan smiled calmly, seeming to be wise: "Probably because Yu Xianchang has been living in a simple way for the past two years, he doesn't know much about the market conditions. Since the ban on Jianyuan was lifted three years ago, Li Chen Sect and Xi The Jade Alliance has joined forces to control this treasure. It must be said that they are operating very well. In the past three years, the prices of various objects unearthed in the Sword Garden have soared to an incredible level, regardless of their quality. , as long as the word 'Sword Garden' is mentioned, the value will skyrocket. This situation is of course not normal, but it will not change in the short term. I want to take this opportunity to collect some Sword Garden secret treasures and get them. Borrow the momentum."

"That's it!" After hearing this, Yu Ci finally understood the cause and effect and nodded slightly.

It is rare for Shen Wan to find such an entry point, but unfortunately there is one thing he did not expect: he has indeed been in and out of the Sword Garden, and the gains are not small, but there are not many that he can really use. Well, wait a minute. …

An idea flashed in Yu Ci's heart, and at the same time, the female cultivator said: "If the immortal feels that if he sells it now, he may be in debt, he can also use the 'consignment' method to enter the Dharma Assembly through this channel. , and sold at a higher price in the auction. In response, this account not only does not charge channel fees, but is also willing to pay the rent. ”

Hearing what she said, Yu Ci’s judgment became clearer. Shen Wan came well prepared, and her goal was probably not just to buy treasures. The scented bait she prepared must not have been completely sprinkled yet. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the female cultivator's soft voice, with a bit of hope, ringing in my ears: "What do you think Yu Xian wants?"

Yu Ci had already made up his mind and said: "What's the formula for the rental loan? Use Ruyi money?"

"Bartering is also possible, and regardless of the method, this account can also give you a message for free."

"Oh?"

"Where is the Xuanshui obsidian vein, how about it?"

Yu Ci raised his eyelids, his eyes were like lightning, and turned around on the female cultivator's face, then he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Deal!"

************

Yu Ci and Shen Wan still couldn't clear the money and goods in the end, because he chose the consignment model, and the final payment would not be available until the end of the Sui Xin Dharma Conference half a year later. But during this period, Shen Wan said very generously that if Yu Bei had any need for money, he could withdraw it at any time from the semi-number cabinet in Xuixin Pavilion in Yinkuo City, and pay it all together after half a year.

Shen Wan is really putting her money where her mouth is, but the fact is: How can it be better to ask others to fish than to ask others to fish?

Yu Ci understands very well that Shen Wan is not without money now. The biggest problem she faces is: she has no way to spend money safely! Without the support from above, Shen Wan is a single family, but she still wears the hat of "Xixin Pavilion", is under asymmetric and strong suppression, and is in danger of collapse at any time.

In this case, finding strong support that can hold her back is her most critical task now.

Yu Ci is just one example in a series of her actions, and it may not be a very important one. The female cultivator cleverly set up a name and deliberately kept the accounts unclear, which is equivalent to using the money in the cabinet to support a master of returning elixirs like Yu Ci. Regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not, the friendship must be established first. The same is true for the Xuanshui Obsidian Mine. The purpose is to have a place to call for help if something happens.

Compared to the aggressive person on Tianyi Tower, Shen Wan is much smoother now!

Yu Ci had some feelings about things changing and people changing. In this matter, he actually didn't take much advantage, but what he got was what he needed. Not to mention the Xuanshui Obsidian Mine, there were just a few things that were "consigned", some of which he had wanted to touch before but was a little afraid of.

Of the batch of magic weapons he obtained in the Sword Garden, not many of them were actually branded with the Sword Garden. Most of them were monks who died in it - such as Wen Shifei's collection, and others like Xunfeng The Eight Flame Flags and others are completely qualified to be used as the main combat weapon of the Buxu monks, but if this kind of thing is not handled well, it will be troublesome.

Before, he was short of money and did not take action. He just did not have a channel to know the truth. He was worried that he would not get the money and first attracted his enemies. Now Shen Wan comes to the door on his own initiative and has such a good platform as the Sui Xin Dharma Conference. Naturally, everything goes with the flow.

Of course, the Xuanshui Obsidian vein is also very attractive. Not only has the main material of Bugang Seven Star Altar been found, but he can also take the opportunity to temporarily leave this place of right and wrong and avoid the limelight, which is what he needs.

Before that, he had to get another component of the altar.

Yu Ci stepped into the main entrance of Hongyafang, followed the memory of returning here, and went to the courtyard behind. Halfway through, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came into my ears:

"Guest, don't, don't do this!"

Yu Ci turned his head in shock. Before he could see clearly, the cry had turned into a low and continuous moan.
