Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"It's okay." Jun Wen Ning turned his head away, and seeing that he woke up, he no longer stayed in the room, but turned around and walked out.

....................................

When Jiang Li arrived on the deck, Dabai was looking at the rising sun with her cat ears erected high. Jiang Li came to sit beside her, then held her on his lap and took out the small golden card, "Do you remember this card?"

"The gold card of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce?" Dabai answered lazily.

"have you seen?"

"Just know."

"I used to know the president of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce?" Jiang Li felt that Dabai might know something here.

"I'm not sure. Anyway, I don't have any memory of this person. There was a period of time in the past when I was in a dormant state because I wanted to refine my strength. You might have known him at that time."

It seemed that Dabai didn't know anything either, so Jiang Li had to suppress his curiosity for the time being. He had to land in Jiangling Territory in the evening as Jun Wen Ning wanted to buy Snow Soul Essence.

....................................

evening.

The spirit boat landed under a city. Jiang Li saw the plaque on the city, Tianyuan City. Looking at the prosperous city in front of him, Jiang Li just learned from Jun Wenning that this entire city... is the headquarters of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

The whole city... makes sense when you think about it.

The auction was held when the moon rose. There was still some time before it actually started. Ji Boyuan did not get off the spirit boat, but Feng Xisi and Feng Xi Nian came down hand in hand, skipping and jumping. The four of them entered the city together. Feng Xisi and Feng Xi Nian quickly disappeared in the crowd as they went to find something delicious. Jiang Li had nothing to do, so he followed Jun Wen Ning to the headquarters of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce in the city. He looked at the towering building in front of him and was quite shocked.

Quite impressive.

"The auction will start in a while. As a sword cultivator, you should be very interested in Mingjian Tower." Jun Wen Ning suddenly said.

Jiang Li was quite flattered at this moment. It was rare to see Jun Wenning's tone so gentle. She led Jiang Li to a building. Jiang Li looked at the Mingjian Tower in front of him curiously.

Mingjian Tower was built by the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce thousands of years ago. Every sword practitioner who comes here can leave his own sword moves here for later sword practitioners to observe. Of course, it costs spirit stones to observe, and those who leave their sword moves can receive the spirit stones left by later observers, and the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce only takes a portion of it.

It's really a profitable business.

As soon as Jiang Li and Jun Wen Ning arrived here, someone came up to them and introduced themselves to them. Jiang Li chatted with the other party out of curiosity and learned that there were many sword moves left by many sword masters here. As for the cost of observing them once... For the top batch, the cost each time ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 Purple Marrow Coins.

Why don't you go and rob the money?

Jiang Li curiously flipped through the booklet given to him by the introducer. On the booklet were the names of sword practitioners who had left their sword skills throughout the ages. Jiang Li saw Su Yeli. There was also a name that was crossed out in the booklet. That name was... Jiang Li.

The price later was 100,000 Purple Marrow Coins each time. The sword moves he left behind could only be observed ten times, but now they were no longer allowed to be observed. I don’t know if it was because the observation was over, and Jiang Li saw another name.

Ling Wei, there is one last chance to observe.

"I want to observe her sword skills." Jiang Li said.

"Her sword power has been reserved by Jun Wenyan of the Jun family... Sorry."

Jiang Li's eyes revealed a bit of regret. It seemed that even if he had money, it would be difficult to solve the problem. But Jun Wenning suddenly said, "Go ahead."

"Huh?" Jiang Li was stunned.

"Jun Wenyan is my cousin."

"Isn't this... bad?"

"It's okay." Jun Wenning's expression was particularly calm. As she spoke, she took out ten exquisite spirit tickets and handed them to the waiter in front of her. The waiter was a little hesitant at first, until Jun Wenning said, "If you have never seen me, this jade token... you have heard of it, right?"

Jun Wenning took out the jade token that belonged to her alone.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then quickly went upstairs to greet Jiang Li. Jiang Li looked back at Jun Wen Ning, who was still standing there quietly with a calm expression.

Jiang Li understood that she probably wanted to repay him for removing the slave seal.

But in fact, Jiang Li felt that this could not be considered a favor. It was just to make up for the mistake he made in the past. Some things should be kept separate, but at this moment, he did owe her a favor.

Jiang Li came to the place where Ling Wei left the sword. It turned out that every room in the Mingjian Tower was a small world. As soon as he walked through the door, a lake appeared in front of him.

A strong wind was raging in this small world, but the ripples on the lake were gentle. There was clearly no scent of swords, yet it seemed as if the whole world was filled with the sound of swords. Many blurry images appeared in front of Jiang Li. The moment he sensed her sword power, the memories of their past seemed to begin to emerge quietly.

But at this moment, these images are so blurry. Jiang Li always had this feeling when he comprehended his sword power before. Most of the memories would reappear in his dreams. He stood by the lake for a long, long time, until the sword power here disappeared completely. Jiang Li let out a long sigh and suddenly laughed.

Ling Wei's sword skills are very powerful, not only because of her talent, but also related to her swordsmanship. She has truly persisted in her swordsmanship for thousands of years, thus stepping into the realm of God and becoming a part of the rules of heaven.

Love all your life.

..............................

Coming out of Mingjian Tower, Jiang Li walked beside Jun Wenning and couldn't help asking, "Is this... not a good idea?"

“They dare not disobey me.”

"You are the eldest sister in the family."

Jun Wen Ning hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and nodded after a moment. Jiang Li looked at her as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end she chose to remain silent. Jiang Li suddenly recalled some of Jun Wen Ning's memories that he saw before he fainted.

Yes, maybe she is not the eldest sister, but among her peers, her status and position are more like that of a leader.

Chapter 433: Your Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is pretty good

Jiang Li suddenly thought of a question.

"How did the bloodline of the Jun family... get passed down from generation to generation?"

“Generally, the Jun family only intermarries within the family. The people with the purest bloodline are the Jun family’s main family. People with foreign blood flowing in their bodies can generally only exist as branch families.” Jun Wenning answered calmly.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then his eyes twitched slightly. He always felt that something was a little strange. If that was the case, Bai Sheng only had half of the Jun family's blood.

"Then logically speaking, Bai Sheng should... not have the right of inheritance, right?" Jiang Li quickly thought of this.

"The current head of the Jun family is Jun Yuan." Jun Wenning glanced at Jiang Li calmly, "He is the one who has received the most blessings from the gods among all the family heads in history, so... he has the right to change any rules in the family, and no one can go against his will."

Jun Yuan... Jiang Li silently memorized this name in his heart. He looked at Jun Wenning with an indifferent expression and suddenly wanted to ask something, "I heard... he seems to want Bai Sheng to inherit his position?"

"Yes."

"What do you think?" Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, looking into Jun Wen Ning's eyes, trying to read some emotions from her reaction, but Jun Wen Ning's expression was very calm, as if there was no change at all.

"Since this is the master's intention, I will follow it."

Jiang Li always felt that it would be impolite to ask further, so he had to remain silent. He vaguely felt that Junior Sister Bai Sheng would not care whether to inherit the position of the head of the Fenxue Domain. Everything would be known only after he met Bai Sheng.

Jun Wenning seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Jiang Li in front of him, "If you didn't have the blood of the Jun family, perhaps... Jun Yuan wouldn't want to marry Bai Sheng to you."

"This is a small matter. There is always a way." Jiang Li replied with a smile.

....................................

The auction was held in the evening, at the top of the tallest building in Tianyuan City. Jun Wen Ning showed her invitation letter and came to her seat. There was an empty seat next to her, so Jiang Li sat down with her. He looked around and found that the rules of this auction seemed to be very strict. The cultivators who came to the auction were all dressed in clothes that were either rich or noble, and the spiritual treasures on their bodies were also very imposing. They were either geniuses in the family or independent cultivators with profound cultivation.

And none of the items at the auction were of low quality. The first lot was a snow-white juvenile spiritual pet. The starting price was 500,000 purple marrow coins, and the price could be increased by 10,000 purple marrow coins each time. Jiang Li quietly watched the fight between the big guys on the sidelines. He didn't want to buy anything, and even if he wanted to, he didn't have the money.

Yesterday he had just finished refining all the peaches from the mother tree that Fairy Yue brought him. At this moment, his cultivation had already reached the seventh level of the Divine Body.

The next items to be auctioned were elixirs, spiritual plants, and various spiritual treasures that Jiang Li had never heard of. The prices were all rising rapidly. The auction became particularly lively at this moment, and Jiang Li was also enjoying himself. Jun Wen Ning had not bought anything at all, but just watched indifferently, waiting for the Snow Soul Essence that she needed.

After waiting for about half an hour, the auctioneer on the stage finally brought up the Snow Soul Essence with a starting price of two million Purple Marrow Coins. Jiang Li took a quick look and saw that many people were eager to try. It seemed that this was a good treasure.

"Three million." Jun Wen Ning raised his sign and spoke.

Many eyes at the scene turned to him with a look of sudden enlightenment. It seemed that many people should recognize Jun Wen Ning's face. Jiang Li thought that with Jun Wen Ning's bidding, no one would continue to compete with her. However, he never expected that the next bidding voices would become louder and louder, and soon the price was raised to four million Purple Marrow Coins.

Jun Wen Ning tapped the table with his knuckles, seemingly thinking about something.

At this time, Jiang Li started reading the introduction about the Snow Soul Essence. This was something used to break through the Soul after reaching the tenth level. Jun Wen Ning said that she would use it to improve her cultivation, but now her cultivation was only at the first level, so it might not be too early to prepare for it.

"Four and a half million." Jun Wen Ning said calmly.

Compared to the shouts from the audience who were bidding only 50,000 Purple Marrow Coins, her voice seemed exceptionally clear. There was silence for a while. Jiang Li looked at the indifference on Jun Wenning's face, and compared it with the painful expressions of some people when they were bidding, and thought that being rich was a happy thing.

After a long while, the price was raised to five million by another voice.

Jun Wenning was silent for a moment, but did not bid. He just looked up at the stage and said, "I don't have more purple marrow coins ready. Can I buy some on credit? I'll send someone to deliver it to you after I get back to the Jun family."

The auctioneer on the stage hesitated for a moment and told Jun Wenning that he needed to discuss something and asked her to wait, so the auction was suspended. After a while, Jiang Li saw a familiar figure, Bai Zigui in white clothes walking towards him.

"Sister Jun, do you want to buy on credit?" Bai Zigui asked curiously.

"I don't have that many purple marrow coins on me." Jun Wenning's answer was also very simple, but Bai Zigui was a little embarrassed at this moment, and then relaxed his brows after a moment, "Okay, Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce can lend you a credit of 3 million, but if the price is higher in the future, I'm afraid we can no longer do this favor."

Jun Wenning looked at him, "Who is competing with me?"

"The deputy leader of the Zhuo Ri Sect in Guiyuan Domain."

Jun Wen Ning responded indifferently without asking any further questions for the time being. He shouted out the price to six million, but the other party soon followed up and shouted out to six and a half million. Jun Wen Ning shouted out to seven million, and the other party directly shouted out to seven and a half million.

Jun Wenning's brows furrowed slightly.

Bai Zigui sighed helplessly and sat on an empty seat at the side. "He is looking for materials for an elder in the sect to break through to the God King level. Now he is short of this Snow Soul Essence Blood. Naturally, he will not give in easily. Sister Jun... I have received information... He has prepared tens of millions of Purple Marrow Coins. Why don't we just forget about it? When your cultivation level is higher in the future, if you find such a treasure again, I will keep it for you. Anyway, Sister Jun is only at the first level of the Soul now, and there is still some time before the tenth level."

"Why can I only owe you three million on credit?" Jun Wen Ning looked up at him, but his voice was slightly cold.

Bai Zigui smiled bitterly, "If it was a few months ago, Sister Jun wanted... I could give you a credit line of tens of millions, but it's different now."

Bai Zigui only said this much, and although he did not continue, his meaning was obvious. Jun Wenning is no longer the only heir of the Jun family, so naturally... he is less humane.

"Do you think I can't pay it back?" Jun Wen Ning took a deep breath.

"Of course not, of course not. This is a decision made by the Chamber of Commerce... I only have a little power, but I don't have the final say. There's not much I can do." Bai Zigui's smile became more and more bitter.

Jiang Li on the side vaguely felt that Bai Zigui was lying, but it was just an intuition. Bai Zigui seemed to have considerable power in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

"I can lend Sister Jun another million personally. If the other party raises the price again... then I have no choice." Bai Zigui said with a wry smile. Jun Wenning looked at the stage and said, "Eight million."

After another period of silence, the other party bid up to 8.5 million Purple Marrow Coins.

"Nine million." Jun Wen Ning's voice seemed to reveal a bit of anger.

There was another long silence. Jiang Li was watching from the sidelines and found it quite exciting. He felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. The person who had been bidding against Jun Wenning in the audience was silent for a long time. When the auctioneer on the stage was about to drop the hammer, a sigh rang out, "Nine and a half million."

The meaning of this sigh is also very clear.

"If Fairy Jun can offer up to ten million... then I'll give it to you. This Snow Soul Essence is related to the tenth Divine King of our sect, and it cannot be easily given up. I hope Fairy Jun will be more tolerant."

The other party's words were already very polite, and Jun Wen Ning's anger dissipated a little, but her eyes were still fixed on the Xuepo Essence in front of her, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Jiang Li was watching silently on the side. It seemed that he was only short of 500,000 purple marrow coins, but he couldn't take it out.

The atmosphere remained deadlocked for a while. Jun Wenning was ultimately unable to bid any higher, and the auctioneer on the stage was about to drop the hammer. However, before that, Jiang Li suddenly shouted, "Wait..."

Bai Zigui, who had a helpless look on his face, suddenly smiled.

Jiang Li looked at Bai Zigui and winked at him, "Can I use this card to buy him 500,000 purple marrow coins on credit?"

Bai Zigui smiled in an instant, "Now this Snow Soul Essence is yours."

Jiang Li:?

"I just want to borrow 500,000 yuan..."

"No, no, in that case, then you can just sell it to Fairy Jun in person. You can ask for any price you want...I don't think I explained clearly to you last time what this super super super super super super supreme VIP gold card means to the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. To the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, it means everything. There are other items behind this Snow Soul Essence. As long as you want, it can be yours."

Jiang Li scratched his head

Why did he have a vague feeling that he was being cheated? Why did Bai Zigui appear at such a perfect time and owe Jun Wenning just such a small amount of credit?

"So... Master Jiang needs this Snow Soul Essence?"

Jiang Li looked at Jun Wenning, "Is this... very important to you?"

But then Jun Wenning looked at him with unexpectedly complicated eyes, so complicated that Jiang Li felt a chill in his neck. Jun Wenning hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded gently, "Yes."

"Then... give it to me." Jiang Li looked at Bai Zigui.

It's quite embarrassing.

Your Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is pretty good.

Bai Zigui looked at the stage and said loudly, "This young master has offered 20 million Purple Marrow Coins. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price? If not... then it will be this young master's."

No one in the audience spoke, even the whispers stopped, the entire audience was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang... for winning this lot."

Bai Zigui's eyes quietly looked towards a dark corner, and a look of relief quietly appeared on his face.
