Chapter 244: Treasure Hunting, Auction, and Competition among Three Sects

A few days later, Qianye Market became even more lively.

The crowd was mixed, and from time to time, there were figures wearing mink and hats.

After all, it was still snowing outside the market, but inside the market, the formation protected it and it was like spring all year round.

The reason why it was so lively was that several major events were about to happen in Qianye Market.

The first was the restart of the 'Treasure Lake'.

After some research by formation and refining masters, although they still did not control the strange treasure, they could infer some of its characteristics.

A month ago, they predicted that the 'Treasure Lake' would be opened in the near future through the strangeness of the 'Treasure Lake'.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted many people to the Qianye Market.

The wonders of the 'Treasure Lake' spread throughout the three sects a year ago, and everyone hoped that they could become rich overnight by luck like the man who fished out the 'Longevity Fruit'.

The system was still the same as usual, and tickets were purchased to enter, and it was much cheaper, 10 spirit stones per person.

It's only 70 spirit stones a week, but if you can catch a treasure, it's pure profit.

With more people coming, the business in the market has improved a lot. It's hard not to doubt that this is their carefully arranged marketing method.

But no matter what, Jiang Lan is the one who benefits, so he won't say much.

Dong Dong!

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

It was Xu Xin, who was holding some documents and handed them to Jiang Lan.

"President, this is this year's profit..."

Jiang Lan slowly flipped through it, and it was probably not bad.

This year, Xiaoyao Pavilion made a profit of about 360,000 spirit stones, deducting various shares, costs, etc.

Jiang Lan's personal income is about 150,000.

It's really not a small amount. When I first got started, I worked hard for a year and only earned 900 spirit stones...

After deducting various expenses, it's good to have 300 left.

And this 150,000 really went into Jiang Lan's pocket.

And this year, he basically didn't care about the things here, focusing on his own practice and life.

[This is what it feels like to be a boss...]

Of course, he is not a black-hearted boss, and the members of Shanfeng Club also make a lot of money.

For example, the products made by his three disciples are sold in Xiaoyao Pavilion, and the dividends are enough for them to eat a lot.

The rest of the members have much higher wages than other stores, and because there are enough people, there is not much work and it is not tiring.

[I am really a good boss in the world of cultivation! ]

After Jiang Lan sighed, he put the file aside.

"Okay, keep working hard next year. By the way, they should be here too, right?"

"Yes, they are expected to arrive in the afternoon."

"Okay, I know, you go and get busy..."

Jiang Lan was talking about the core disciples of Xiaoyao Sect.

This is the second major event. The "Three Sects Competition" is approaching, and they decided to hold it in Qianye Market when the "Treasure Lake" is opened.

On the other hand, those core disciples can also participate in this treasure fishing activity.

According to their thinking, these core disciples should all have good luck. If they can catch some good things, they may be able to share a share.

Xiaoyao Sect has also communicated with Jiang Lan. They will form a team to come here and let Jiang Lan take care of it.

However, Jiang Lan is skeptical about whether Xiaoyao Sect can win the championship.

Because he knows that some of those excellent core disciples have been arranged out, and the remaining combat power is probably not very good.

"But it doesn't matter to me."

Jiang Lan has never liked to compete. In his opinion, temporary gains are not as important as longevity.

"But the subsequent auction is worth looking forward to..."

Qianyefang City has been officially opened for nearly a year and a half. If the previous development stage is counted, it can be considered a long time.

The reputation has long been spread, but it takes an opportunity to really make Qianyefang City famous.

And for this opportunity, the three sects decided to bet on the "auction"!

As long as the 'auction' can be successfully held and become a tradition, the market will be alive!

Moreover, as if the heavens were helping them, a 'Treasure Lake' fell from the sky during the preparation period!

Especially after research, it will be opened every other year.

The three sects decided to simply combine this day with the 'auction' and make it a grand celebration.

Encourage them to fish for treasures, and then auction them at the auction...

The closed loop is successfully completed, and everyone can make money!

Except for those who are not so lucky...

Jiang Lan counted his assets, and those that cannot be used are not counted.

He has more than one million spirit stones that can be used at any time!

Although it has just broken one million, it is a huge sum of money for anyone.

"I hope there will be good things at the auction."

Jiang Lan was very distressed looking at these spirit stones, because these spirit stones cannot be immediately transformed into his strength.

The resources required by the cultivators in the True Power Realm are not as easy to find as those in the Body Refining Stage.

As for Qi Refining, he was about to face a bottleneck. The ‘Shengyun Pill’ for breaking through the level had already been prepared, waiting for the mana of the ninth level of Qi Refining to accumulate.

At present, the only thing that was useful to him was the Foundation Building Pill, but this auction was held by the three sects. Even if someone could offer the Foundation Building Pill, it would definitely be consumed internally...

This was also the reason why there were very few Foundation Building Pills at the auction.

I haven't even fed myself, how can I let him out?

In the afternoon, a team of monks wearing purple robes embroidered with purple garden flowers appeared in Xiaoyao Pavilion.

They were energetic and full of spirit, which really matched the image of core disciples in everyone's mind.

Unfortunately, compared with the one in front of him, they could only fall behind.

Jiang Lan was wearing a dark green Taoist robe without too many fancy decorations. His temperament was quiet and elegant, and he looked no different from ordinary people.

But everyone present knew Jiang Lan's name and strength, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"Disciple, 'Du Xueye', greets Jiang Protector!"

"Well... You are all outstanding people in the sect. I will also watch over you in this competition..."

"Everyone can rest assured to compete, strive for good results and show your style!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Jiang Lan say this, several disciples were like chicken blood.

This is the compliment from the 'Astonishing Genius' to them!

In this world, people admire the strong. Jiang Lan is so young, but he has such a strong strength. He is also known as the "world-shaking genius" certified by the head of the Flame Sect, Su Tang.

He has achieved such remarkable results, but he is still humble and polite. It is really hard for people not to have a good impression and admiration for him.

Jiang Lan nodded, "You are tired from the journey, go down and have a good rest and prepare."

The disciples bowed and left one after another until two people were left.

They were Wei Zhao and Li Xinyi, who were also in the competition team.

Li Xinyi saw the outsiders retreating and stepped forward to give Jiang Lan a big hug: "President, I miss you so much!"

Wei Zhao saw this and exposed it without hesitation: "I think you miss the president's food. This guy talked about the president's various dishes the most along the way."

Li Xinyi let go of Jiang Lan, openly and without shyness.

Jiang Lan hadn't seen his old friend for a year and was very happy. "Okay, call Uncle Gu, Xu Xin and others tonight and have a meal together."

Li Xinyi clapped his hands excitedly, "I've been waiting for you to say this!"

At night, everyone gathered together, raised their glasses, tasted delicious food, and talked about the interesting things that happened in the past year. It was a special feeling...
