Chapter 8: The Third Night

After the police officers from Changfeng County left, the clerks at the Paradise Inn cleaned the scholar's room inside and out.

They burned everything in the room, and the innkeeper also sent someone to hire a carpenter to repair the damage in the room.

After the renovation of the house was completed, everything in the house was replaced with new ones, and the door was still open to welcome guests.

Although a murder just happened here and several tenants checked out during the day, time will always dilute everything.

I believe it won't be long before people will forget everything that happened here.

Jiang Chen did not check out of the hotel. The owner of the inn not only did not make him pay for the things he destroyed in a fight with the fox demon, but also waived his room fee.

Of course, there are no requirements at all, you just need to ask him to help the inn perform a ritual.

This is not a problem at all for Jiang Chen.

Who is a great dancer? Who can’t do it?

After dancing, oh no, after performing rituals, Jiang Chen left the Bliss Inn and began to prepare for his big money-making business.

Changfeng County was just a southern border county in the Zhou Dynasty, with a population of less than 3,000 people.

The only decent antique and jade shop in the county is Jingya Zhai.

The items displayed in this store are quite miscellaneous, including calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and jade. It doesn't look very professional at first glance.

But it doesn't matter, Jiang Chen didn't expect it to be very professional.

"Taoist Priest, is there anything you like?"

The shop owner saw Jiang Chen looking left and right, and couldn't help but take the initiative to talk to him.

"Boss, I want to carve some jade talismans from raw stones. Do you have high-quality jade raw stones here? The price is not an issue, the most important thing is the quality."

Jiang Chen thought for a while and then spoke.

"Rough jade stone?"

"Yes, yes, we have it here!"

"Changfeng County is rich in jade. The price of jade is low, the variety is complete, and the quality is high. It is definitely worth the money. You will not be disappointed!"

"Our store has ice jade, white jade, purple dragon crystal, lapis lazuli, turquoise and other jade produced in Changfeng and various places in the Zhou Dynasty. Basically, we have everything you can see on the market here."

As soon as the boss heard that price was not an issue, he immediately enthusiastically introduced Jiang Chen to the items in their store, and even took Jiang Chen to the jade storage room to select them himself.

Jiang Chen didn't know much about jade, so he asked about the price directly. He thought it was expensive enough and looked pretty enough, so he bought it with a big wave of his hand.

I selected three large pieces of jade rough stones of excellent quality in one go.

Before leaving, Jiang Chen was attracted by a few pieces of jade in the corner of the storage room.

This is...a diamond!

The smallest one is as big as the nail of the little finger, and the largest one is the size of an adult's fist.

And most of them are colored diamonds!

"Boss, what is this?"

Jiang Chen pointed at the diamonds piled haphazardly in the corner.

"well!"

"A few years ago, I had my eye drilled and was tricked. I received a batch of jade that looked very special."

“When I bought it back for polishing and carving, I discovered that the jade stones were too hard to polish and cut.”

"In a fit of anger, I wanted to throw them all away, but then I thought about it. After all, I spent a lot of money to buy them. Keeping them there allows me to look at them all the time, and it also reminds me not to forget the lesson I learned that time!"

The boss said with some annoyance.

Then, he rolled his eyes and asked tentatively:

"Why, the Taoist priest is interested in these?"

"Is it possible that these jade stones are really treasures?"

"Is it just because it's too high-end that it can't be used by ordinary people like us?"

People who can do business are the most observant. Jiang Chen's small move immediately aroused the boss's vigilance.

"This thing is called diamond. It is a very hard stone. It is everywhere in my hometown. Now that I see it, it is inevitable that I will be a little emotional!"

"I wonder if the boss can bear the pain and sell me a few dollars to relieve my homesickness?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile, looking as stable as an old dog!

"Hi!"

"What's the deal? The Taoist priest bought three rough stones from me, and these stones were given to the Taoist priest for free!"

"If the Taoist Master still needs jade next time, feel free to come to my shop and I will ensure that the Taoist Master is satisfied."

When the boss saw Jiang Chen's indifferent expression, the luster that had just risen in his eyes immediately extinguished.

"Thank you so much, boss!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded, his heart beating unsatisfactorily.

This pile of colored diamonds is worth at least tens of billions of Chinese coins!

Even the largest red diamond, the size of an adult's fist, is a priceless treasure.

Jiang Chen remembered that the largest colorless diamond that appeared in the real world was as big as an adult's fist and was estimated to be worth tens of billions!

And the red diamond in his hand is as big as an adult's fist. If it comes to the market, I'm afraid no one can afford it. It's a truly priceless treasure!

Jiang Chen returned to the Bliss Inn with his head held high, carrying three top-grade jade stones the size of his head, and a pile of diamonds.

After returning to the inn, he sent the clerk out to help him buy some clothes and specialties from Changfeng County.

It’s hard to come to another world once, but I don’t know when the next time will be. What if I never come back again?

But just by buying jade and diamonds, he will be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life!

"Get rich!"

"Get rich!"

"Get rich!"

Jiang Chen thought to himself and said.

But he was not so happy that he got carried away because he knew that once night fell, unknown dangers would quietly approach!

On the first night, he experienced twists and turns in the ghost market, Wong Tai Sin, the human head tree, and the evil path.

On the second night, he witnessed the fox demon eating his heart, and then he fought with the fox demon to slay the demon and eliminate the demons. It was full of dangers!

He didn't know what he would encounter on the third night!

The main mission test of three-day survival is definitely not that simple!

So apart from going out to buy jade, he stayed in the inn room all day to meditate.

Practice quiet skills, circulate the "Health Sutra", and guide the vitality of heaven and earth into the body.

By practicing Qigong, using the "Eternal Life Fist", and using the vitality of heaven and earth to temper his body, he made up for the dozens of strands of essence and blood he lost last night!

Not only that, he also felt that his body was a little stronger, and the heavy peach wood sword was actually light and airy in his hand.

The effect of practice is obvious!

When you are mentally exhausted, close your eyes and rest your mind, take a nap, and then continue practicing when you are full of energy!

That's it, until evening!

The third night came quietly.

Jiang Chen had an early dinner and then took a hot bath. He opened the window and looked out at the sky.

The moon still hangs high in the sky.

During the curfew, the entire Changfeng County is quiet except for the sound of the watchman beating the gong.

At this moment, Jiang Chen no longer has the Nether Talisman that can lead to the secluded world and see ghosts, and he no longer has the Inspiration Talisman that can sense demons.

Without the pile of yellow talismans with various functions, all he has now is the peach wood sword in his hand!

Jiang Chen was neatly dressed, sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating, with the mahogany sword in his hand placed across his legs.

He waited quietly, observing the movements around him with all his concentration.

Once the Taomu Sword warns, he can detect it immediately!

Time passed bit by bit, and the entire Bliss Inn fell into a deathly silence.

This made Jiang Chen wonder whether he had really guessed wrong.

Could it be that the dangers he encountered during the three-day survival test were actually just random, and it was not as he had guessed that he would definitely encounter a life-or-death crisis once night fell!

For example, last night, if he had not taken action to kill the fox demon, but chose to hide quietly and not be found by the fox demon, wouldn't it be regarded as a successful survival test?

Did he misunderstand the three-day survival test?

Isn’t it good to be a righteous person?

He couldn't help but ask himself!
