Chapter 458: Four Three One Swindler_2

Jiang Chen could understand their thoughts, after all, the Creation Origin Pill could enhance qualifications, and was an extremely important strategic resource for any power.

If he couldn’t spare them for his own use, how could he sell them to others?

With a smile, Jiang Chen explained, "Don’t worry, although I don’t have many of these pills at the moment, once my plan succeeds, they will be as plentiful as spiritual stones. I will have as many as I need!"

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up. Old Xu even directly questioned, "Are you serious, my lord? Can you really have as many as you want?"

"Of course, Old Xu, you’ve watched me grow up, would I lie about such a thing?"

As soon as Jiang Chen turned the Thunder Pool into a magic treasure, he would be able to gather the power of the heavenly thunder, and from this, extract the energy to refine the Creation Origin Pill.

Of course, if the Thunder Pool could establish a connection with the Creation Dimension, and draw Creation Origin Energy from it, the speed of refining the Creation Origin Pills would undeniably accelerate. How fast, would have to wait until the magic treasure was refined to know.

Anyway, in Jiang Chen’s plan, as long as he refined the magic treasure, the yield of the Creation Origin Pills would not be an issue.

As for failure?

Jiang Chen never considered it.

Therefore, he spoke with great confidence.

It is fortunate that Old Xu did not know that Jiang Chen had now learned to exaggerate. Otherwise, he would definitely mentally discount Jiang Chen’s words.

"Good, good, good!"

Old Xu repeated ’good’ three times in succession, expressing the joy in his heart.

Jiang Chen could understand the significance of the Creation Origin Pill to the human race, as could Old Xu, being more experienced. That is why he was excited.

If, as Jiang Chen stated, the Creation Origin Pill can be as common as spiritual stones, how much would the strength of the human race be boosted? It’s unimaginable to think about!

At this point, the Fairy of Splendid Colors asked, "Then what is the purpose of selling these Creation Origin Pills?"

Jiang Chen did not explain, but just said, "This matter is related to one of my plans. It’s not good to speak about it openly, as it can be sensed by others."

Some things could be thought about in the heart, but if spoken out, they could be sensed by some Great Transcendental Powers, and then, you would find that the opportunity in your hand is gone, and has been taken by the Great Transcendental Powers first.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the Fairy of Splendid Colors understood and did not ask any more, but instead inquired, "Then do you have any arrangements for how to auction this pill?"

Jiang Chen originally wanted to say he had no plans, just handle it as you see fit. But suddenly, an idea popped into his mind; a good method to make a name, so he said, "Wait, didn’t you just say a million Creation Origin Pills are enough to create a heaven’s wonder?"

"Um, that’s a great selling point."

"So, before the auction of the Creation Origin Pill, release this news, saying that a million Creation Origin Pills are enough to create a Heaven’s Wonder."

"Then, when auctioning, divide one million Creation Origin Pills into ten portions, no, five portions to auction."

Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to say ten portions, but he thought this might insult everyone’s intelligence, so he reserved his words and only said five portions.

"Five portions?"

At first, the Fairy of Splendid Colors and Old Xu did not understand the purpose of Jiang Chen doing this, but soon, they understood. Instantly, the look in their eyes changed when they looked at Jiang Chen.

A person who could think of this method must have a sinister mind. If such a person went into business, he would definitely be a crafty trader.

A million Creation Origin Pills can only create a heaven’s wonder, but after Jiang Chen released this news, he divided the million Creation Origin Pills into five portions to sell.

This means, whoever wins the first portion of the Creation Origin Pills, will have to win the following four portions in order to maximize the effect of the pills. If they miss one portion, the effect of the pill will be greatly reduced.

Winning one portion is easy, but to win all five at the same time is difficult. First of all, you have to ensure that no one maliciously raises the price.

It’s all too common at auctions to raise prices against rival forces, it’s part of the fun. And the auction house naturally supports this, because only then can they gain more benefits.

Therefore, any large auction will invite some forces that are at odds with each other to participate together. The purpose of this is for them to compete. This is an open plot, unless they don’t participate in the auction, they are sure to fall into the trap.

In any case, dividing one portion of Creation Origin Pills into five portions for the auction will definitely gain more benefits than selling one portion. And if the value of the Creation Origin Pill rises, its reputation will naturally rise along with it.

After a while, Old Xu finally praised, "Brilliant, my lord’s method is brilliant."

With a smile, Jiang Chen took out one million Creation Origin Pills and handed them to Old Xu, saying, "Now, Old Xu, the rest is up to you."

At the end, Jiang Chen added, "By the way, Old Xu, remember to get a few people to bid up the price at the auction, to add some atmosphere."

"Bidders?"

Old Xu did not understand at first, but quickly realized. He then fell silent again. How could he not have noticed before that the lord also had the potential to be a tricky merchant?

In Old Xu’s mind, Jiang Chen had always been a gentle and refined person. "One who has poetry and books in his heart is naturally graceful," this is how they described the young Jiang Chen. How come people have grown crooked after a while?

At this time, Jiang Chen didn’t know that his image had collapsed in Old Xu’s mind. He just said, "I have other things to do, I will leave first."

After saying this, Jiang Chen entered the auction.

...

...

This auction went without a hitch.

After all, everyone was part of the righteous sect, and they treasured their reputation when outside the home. Therefore, they would not threaten others if the auction was unsuccessful.

If they did so, how could they go out and face people in the future? How could they still hold themselves up as righteous?

This is not a fantasy world from a novel, where the stronger powers can have their way.

On the contrary, rules are above all else here, even the saints can’t do as they please. The stronger the force, the more they should maintain order in order to uphold their orthodox status.

As Jiang Chen had studied, the reason why the masters of the fantasy world dare to trample on all rules is because in their world, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t care and is just a decoration.

In the prehistoric world, the Heavenly Dao is high above, ruling over everything. If anyone dares to trample on the rules, they will face direct punishment from the Heavenly Dao.

Then, the world becomes well-behaved.

Speaking of which, we should thank Dao Superior. If it were not for him merging with the Dao, completing the Heavenly Dao, and defining good and evil, righteousness and evil for the Heaven and Earth, then the Heavenly Dao would also not care, but would watch everything in the world indifferently.

PS: will start refining treasures in the next Chapter.
