Chapter 2 Amber
Three days!
Time flies like an arrow, and each day feels like a year!
Who would have thought that he would stay in the Canglan World for three whole years!
Only three days had passed in the urban world.
The timelines of the two worlds are out of sync.
For the past three years, he has lived cautiously and tremblingly in the world of Canglan.
The cultivation of demonic sects has always followed a laissez-faire approach, allowing people to grow and die on their own, with the survival of the fittest, and allowing no room for slackness.
At first, he thought countless times about reactivating the jade pendant and returning to the city.
but,
No matter what methods he tried, they were all ineffective.
He tried soaking it in blood, wearing the talisman to sleep, holding it in his mouth, and also placed it on a spirit stone, under the scorching sun, in the moonlight...
They tried every possible method, but the jade pendant remained as unmoved as a stubborn rock.
Unexpectedly this time,
It activated on its own, transforming into a stream of light that entered his mind and completely merged into his body.
"This thing seems to be the key to the barrier between the two worlds. Does it consume energy each time it's activated?"
Chen Jie gritted his teeth and used his mind to activate the jade pendant in his mind.
hum-
Without any hindrance, he returned to the Canglan World once again.
Despite the lingering dizziness, as if being swallowed by a black hole, one thing is clear:
Activating the jade pendant does not seem to require any additional energy.
Just like opening the door to your home, it can be done with just a thought.
The time discrepancy between the two worlds is not rooted in the worlds themselves, but in the jade pendant in his mind.
He spent three years in the Canglan World and only three days in the Urban World.
Similarly,
When he returned to the urban world, the time flow in the Canglan world was only one three hundred and sixty-fiveth of that here.
A moment later,
Chen Jie looked at everything in the room, his feelings extremely complicated.
If he had a choice, he would never want to step back into the Canglan World.
But from the moment he joined the White Bone Sect, his life was already bound to the sect.
When you first start,
His three souls and seven spirits had already left the imprint of one soul and one spirit in the Soul Hall of the White Bone Sect.
Only by cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm and unifying the primordial spirit can this mark be recalled.
otherwise,
He can never escape the shackles of the White Bone Sect.
"The White Bone Sect's cultivation relies on resources, and on plunder!"
"Within the sect, my strength is insignificant, and I live like dust."
"But on Blue Star, I am the only cultivator on this planet, my own unique path exists, and everything on this entire planet is my cultivation resource!"
"With the support of Earth's resources, I will surely rise to prominence within the White Bone Sect!"
"One day, I will become the White Bone Saint, a being above the Nascent Soul stage!"
The thought that he held the key to the boundary wall, allowing him to freely travel between the two worlds and use all the resources of the entire Blue Star for his own purposes.
Chen Jie instantly felt triumphant and full of pride.
He glanced at his phone; it was filled with WeChat messages and missed calls.
All the calls were from company department managers, simply asking about his whereabouts.
He hadn't been to work for three days and hadn't asked for leave, so the manager naturally wanted to find out what was going on.
After a moment's thought.
Chen Jie immediately replied to the department manager, saying that there was an emergency at home and he was applying for resignation, while also asking the company's finance department to settle his salary as soon as possible.
Subsequently,
He checked his bank account balance, which totaled over 80,000 yuan.
The most important thing right now is to make money.
To plunder Earth's resources for one's own cultivation, sufficient financial support is necessary.
With his current cultivation level of the first level of Qi Condensation, he does not yet have the strength to plunder wealth by force, so he can only find other ways to make money.
Chen Jie lost both his parents at a young age and was raised by his grandparents.
During my university years, my grandparents also passed away one after another.
Fortunately, he received a national student loan, which enabled him to successfully complete his studies.
But after entering society and starting his job, he truly experienced the hardships of making a living.
Working more than ten hours a day, I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe.
Fortunately, the monthly salary is not low, more than 10,000 yuan a month.
to be frank,
Chen Jie used to be content with this "ox-and-horse" life.
His expenses were not high; apart from rent and food, he had almost no other expenditures.
This is why, after working for a year and a half, he not only paid off his student loans but also saved over 80,000 yuan in savings.
But now,
Chen Jie has lost all interest in this job.
On Earth, he was a demonic cultivator who believed in his own laws. How could he possibly submit to others and serve as their servant?
Although his cultivation level is currently low and his combat power is weak.
But no matter what, I will never go back to work.
These days, if you want to make big money and make quick money, you inevitably have to take some shortcuts.
Having spent nearly three years in the White Bone Sect of the Canglan World, Chen Jie's thinking has undergone a complete transformation!
He is willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.
Demonic cultivators are inherently ruthless and cruel, viewing all things as nourishment and all living beings as ants, and are never bound by worldly rules.
Since it's currently impossible to seize wealth by force, the only option left is to become a "middleman between the two worlds."
They make money by reselling goods between the two worlds.
What kind of goods can you resell to make money?
Gold and silver treasures?
No!
The gold and silver treasures of the Canglan world are not cheap. In terms of purchasing power, the difference between the two worlds is not significant, and the resale price difference is minimal, so you can't earn much at all.
not to mention,
The currency used by cultivators of the White Bone Sect is spirit stones. Using spirit stones to exchange for gold and silver is simply a waste of resources.
Wild ginseng and wild Ganoderma lucidum are feasible options.
However, these medicinal herbs contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and are the main materials for alchemy.
It's a rare commodity in the Canglan world, so reselling it isn't profitable.
Chen Jie lowered his head and pondered how to earn his first pot of gold as quickly as possible.
Whether it's gold and silver treasures, jade and emeralds, or wild ginseng and lingzhi, they are all hard currency in the Canglan world.
Using it for resale is simply not worth the risk.
If you're going to be a reseller, you have to choose items that are available in both worlds, easy to carry, and have a huge price difference.
He opened his phone, hoping to find some inspiration.
quickly,
A target for reselling took shape in his mind.
amber!
The jade stones in the Canglan World contain spiritual power and can be used by cultivators; they are extremely valuable.
Some top-grade jade can even nourish the soul, and its quality is far superior to that of jadeite from the Blue Star.
Reselling these kinds of items makes it impossible to balance prices.
But amber is different.
The world of Canglan has a long history and is rich in amber.
They come in all qualities, and quite a few monks even use amber to decorate their cave dwellings.
There, amber is valued like ordinary pebbles, only slightly more aesthetically pleasing.
On Earth, amber is considered a gemstone and commands a high price.
Chen Jie had seen people selling amber stones in large quantities at extremely low prices in Fu'an Market of the White Bone Sect.
A single low-grade spirit stone can buy a huge pile, at least more than a ton.
Within the territory of the White Bone Sect, there are not only numerous amber mines, but amber stones are also found everywhere along the riverbanks.
If you're willing to spend the time collecting them, you'll definitely be able to collect a whole pile within a few days.
Some of these amber stones contain intact plants or insects inside, and are of excellent quality. They are extremely rare on Earth and are priced by the gram, making them incredibly expensive.
In the vast world of Canglan, they are nothing more than ordinary stones used to decorate cave dwellings.
More importantly, the buying and selling of amber is not completely prohibited in the country.
Simply register a jewelry import and export trading company, complete the legal import procedures, and comply with relevant regulations to conduct normal buying and selling.
Of course, after going through all this trouble, the ultimate goal of so-called "compliance" is only one thing—taxation.
High-value items like amber can enjoy zero tariffs under the Most Favored Nation (MFN) policy when sold domestically, but the consumption value-added tax (VAT) is as high as 13%.
