At the beginning of the game, three thousand scriptures, I became a saint

After the banquet dispersed, Jiang Chen said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then went to the side hall next door with Wan Kui and started talking about business.

The side hall is not big, and there is a table in the middle. On the table is a pot of hot tea that has just been prepared and is still steaming.

Wan Kui came to the table, first poured a cup of hot tea for Jiang Chen, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, what you want is ready, and the people below will deliver it soon."

Picking up the hot tea Wan Kui handed over, Jiang Chen took a sip and said with a smile: "I also want to thank Shopkeeper Wan. What I want is not easy to find. It's really hard for Shopkeeper Wan to find it."

Wan Kui smiled and said quite proudly: "It's not troublesome. For others, what the young master wants is difficult to find, but my Wanbao Pavilion's power covers most of the Eastern Continent. It's not easy to find what the young master wants.

, it’s just a little time-consuming.”

The world where Jiang Chen lives is called the Xuanhuang Realm, which is composed of five continents and four seas. The five continents are named after the five directions, namely Dongzhou, Xizhou, Beizhou, Nanzhou, and Zhongzhou.

Dongzhou is very large, its territory is boundless, it is hundreds of millions of miles in length and breadth, and it has countless caves and heavens and blessed lands.

The Jing State where Jiang Chen is currently located and the destroyed Qi State are just insignificant points in the huge Dongzhou.

The Wanbao Pavilion's sphere of influence actually covers most of Dongzhou. One can imagine the power behind it.

It is estimated that it is not the top force in Dongzhou, but it is also the first-class force in Dongzhou, and it is not something that the small Jingguo can provoke.

It's no wonder that Wanbao Pavilion has been open in Jingguo for so many years, but no one dares to make trouble. The energy behind it is really terrifying.

Jiang Chen has been cooperating with Wanbao Pavilion for many years, and Jiang Chen also had some guesses about the forces behind it, which should be related to immortals. Therefore, he was not surprised by Wan Kui's words, nor was he frightened by the forces behind Wanbao Pavilion.

Although Wanbao Pavilion is strong, it is obviously not as good as Xianmen. Otherwise, Wan Kui would not deliberately befriend him.

The influence of the Immortal Sect is far more terrifying than Jiang Chen imagined. If his physical problem had not been solved, he would really be eager to go to the Immortal Sect to take a look.

Not long after, a maid came in from outside the house holding a jade box.

Taking the jade box from the maid's hand, Wan Kui opened the lid, pushed it in front of Jiang Chen, and said, "Master, what you asked for has arrived. Let's see if you are satisfied."

Inside the jade box is a crystal clear jade bead, which is round and smooth. Under the transmission of sunlight, it blooms with golden and silver light. If you look more carefully, you can even see the miniature of the sun and the moon in the jade bead.

The sun and the moon make the light bright, so the name of this jade bead is the Pearl. It is born from the essence of the sun and the moon. It contains a wisp of innate yin and yang energy, which can temper the body and cleanse the soul. It is extremely useful for both monks and warriors.

precious.

A pearl is often worth thousands of gold, more precious than a thousand-year-old ginseng. And as soon as it appears, it will attract people to grab it. Basically, it has a price but no market.

If Wanbao Pavilion's power hadn't spread over most of Eastern Continent, Jiang Chen wouldn't have been able to buy a treasure like the Pearl even if he had money.

Glancing down, Jiang Chen found that the luster emanating from this pearl was brighter and more eye-catching than the few pearls he had bought previously.

Obviously, this pearl is of better quality.

Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Chen closed the jade box again, raised his head and said to Wan Kui: "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Wan. I like this pearl very much. The money to buy it is still the same as before, and it will be included in my dividends."

.”

Jiang Chen is not short of money. Not to mention how much money the court rewarded him, he has also made a lot of money through his cooperation with Wanbao Pavilion over the years.

Dongzhou is huge, Jingguo is small, and Linjiang County is even smaller.

Jiang Chen lives in a corner, but the new rice seeds he developed can spread out of Jingguo and spread among other countries, and are likely to spread throughout Dongzhou. This is because of the channels of Wanbao Pavilion.

In other words, Jiang Chen is responsible for research and development, while Wanbao Pavilion is responsible for promotion.

For some unknown reason, Wanbao Pavilion seemed to be more concerned about promoting new rice varieties than Jiang Chen. Not only was it responsible for everything, but it also promised Jiang Chen huge benefits.

.

Jiang Chen's ability to become one of the largest households in Linjiang County today is all due to Wanbao Pavilion.

According to Jiang Chen's speculation, the reason why Wanbao Pavilion is so concerned about is probably related to merit.

Developing a new type of rice seed can save all living beings from the suffering of hunger, and there will be merit and virtue. There will also be merit and virtue in promoting the new type of rice seed.

Wanbao Pavilion cannot take away the merits of the founder, but they can plan for the merits of promotion. Therefore, Wanbao Pavilion chose to cooperate with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had long been coveting Wanbao Pavilion's channels. When he saw them taking the initiative to seek cooperation, he didn't make things too difficult. After sensing their sincerity, he directly agreed.

Without Wanbao Pavilion's channels, if Jiang Chen wanted to popularize the new rice species on his own, he might not be able to do it in his entire life.

…

Seeing that Jiang Chen was satisfied, Wan Kui smiled and said in a very grand manner: "Young Master is joking, it's nothing but a pearl. Compared with the benefits that Young Master has brought to us, Wanbao Pavilion, it's not worth anything at all."

carry."

"Don't talk about money, just think of this pearl as a gift from me, Wanbao Pavilion, to the young master."

Indeed, the benefits Jiang Chen brought to Wanbao Pavilion cannot be measured by gold and silver. If Jiang Chen had not been a monk, then what Wan Kui had given him at this moment would not have been a pearl, but a more precious treasure.

Seeing that Jiang Chen wanted to refuse, before he could speak, Wan Kui hurriedly said: "Master, don't be too busy to refuse, and listen to me first. This is all what the higher-ups meant. You can't let us people below."

It’s difficult.”

Wan Kui said so, Jiang Chen couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to say: "Then I'll be disrespectful."

After putting away the pearl, Jiang Chen obviously had no intention of staying any longer. He just found a reason and left.

Wan Kui didn't hold back, and sent Jiang Chen all the way outside the building, watching him get on the carriage and leave.

…

…………

It's night, the third watch.

The servants of the Jiang Mansion had already gone to bed, but the lights in Jiang Chen's study were still bright.

Anyone who is familiar with Jiang Chen knows that he has the habit of reading at night.

He had no choice but to squat in the field during the day and had no time to study at all, so he took advantage of the night when everyone was resting to squeeze out some time to study.

Working in the fields during the day and studying at night, Jiang Chen's hard work was well-known far and wide, and many people used him as an example to educate their children.

A person as capable as Jiang Chen insists on studying every night. If you are not as capable as him, what reason do you have for not working hard?

At the fourth watch, the night was getting deeper. Jiang Chen, who was reading, suddenly put down the book and reached out to tinker with it on the desk.

Suddenly, a layer of curtain hung down from the surrounding windows, blocking the light and isolating the study from the outside world.
