My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 93 Jiang the Great Philanthropist

After Guo Lang finished speaking, all the disciples fell silent.

The reason is simple: the risks in ancient ruins are far too great.

Not only are there threats from poisonous fog and venomous snakes, but also from an array of terrifying power that even a Core Formation cultivator cannot withstand.

Although they had heard some rumors and made some preparations beforehand, they knew little about the various aspects of the ancient ruins.

Unlike Jiang Chen, who was willing to empty his family's coffers to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, he was not like Jiang Chen.

Therefore, their preparations were far from sufficient to cope with the various dangers in the ancient ruins.

At this moment, Guo Lang asked people to volunteer, and everyone remained silent.

Jiang Chen was simulating the future in a dream, so naturally he didn't care about these things.

He immediately stepped forward: "Master Guo, I am willing to sign up to go to the ancient ruins."

"A cultivator with inferior talent like myself will never have the chance to establish a foundation in this lifetime if I don't take a gamble."

Upon hearing this, Guo Lang looked at him with a broad smile.

"Junior Brother Jiang is so generous. Most of us disciples from outside the sect are rogue cultivators, unlike the direct line sects, where the Foundation Establishment Pills are already prepared by our elders."

"If we don't give it our all, we might not even have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

With Jiang Chen taking the lead, more than a dozen cultivators who were confident in their own strength immediately stepped forward.

Most people are still observing, since talisman masters are not short of spirit stones, and naturally lack the courage to fight desperately.

Seeing that the mobilization had not had a good effect, Guo Lang said helplessly, "Those who want to sign up can come to me anytime within ten days."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

After returning to his courtyard, Jiang Chen began to plan his next move.

Although rumors about the ancient ruins circulated privately, the higher-ups hadn't officially announced it. Therefore, many people didn't take it seriously, and their supplies were limited.

"Now that the news is confirmed, it will likely trigger a buying frenzy for all kinds of spiritual items."

I had already stockpiled a lot of resources, and I definitely wouldn't be able to use up these two thousand Rank 2 beginner talismans.

In reality, it was still ten days ago, and I could still find ways to stockpile a batch of supplies.

Once the news is released, I can sell these supplies at a high price and make a fortune.

But then he thought about it again and dismissed the idea.

"Even if I earn another 100,000 spirit stones and merit points, what good will it do? I can't exchange them for Foundation Establishment spiritual items. I've already stockpiled a large amount of other things that I can buy."

Rather than hoarding and damaging one's reputation to gain useless spirit stones and merits, it's better to sacrifice some spirit stones to earn a good reputation.

"As long as my reputation is high enough, after I resolve the ancient cultivation ruins, even the direct descendants and True Person Yuanfu will have to consider their own reputation if they want to covet my Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Since that's the case, then I'll follow the example of Feng Xuan buying righteousness for Lord Mengchang, and spend some spirit stones to gain a good reputation."

"However, I need to find a way to spread this word."

In the afternoon, news of the ancient ruins of Poison Dragon Marsh spread like wildfire, and the prices of talismans, magical artifacts, and healing and detoxifying pills doubled.

Because the consumption of supplies in Changyuan Mountain has always been very high, the sect doesn't have much stock left.

Jiang Chen was considering how to gain fame when there was a knock on the door.

He used his divine sense to investigate and discovered that the visitor was Qi Tingsong.

He quickly invited Qi Tingsong in, and before he could even ask a question, Qi Tingsong bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior Brother Jiang, you must save my life!"

Jiang Chen looked completely puzzled: "Explain yourself clearly first. What exactly happened?"

Qi Tingsong sighed: "To be honest, it's all my fault for taking on too much."

"As you know, my skill in drawing talismans is mediocre. I usually prefer to gather information and then sell it."

Of course, sometimes I also help people make connections and buy things for them.

"A couple of days ago, a neutral cultivator asked me to help him buy some low-level second-grade talismans, and I accepted the deposit."

This wasn't difficult to do. I had already arranged with several of my senior brothers at the peak of Qi Refining in our Talisman Hall to buy some low-grade second-level talismans from them.

"But as soon as news of the ancient ruins spread this morning, those senior brothers were all planning to take the risk, so naturally they wanted to keep the talismans in their own hands. Why would they be willing to sell them?"

"It was my uncle who helped me make the connection. Now that I can't produce the talisman, not only will I have to pay ten times the amount of spirit stones, but my uncle will also be implicated."

"Senior Brother Jiang, I heard that you have collected a lot of talismans and pills in the past year. You should have some reserves, right?"

Sell ​​me some to tide me over, and I'm willing to pay two, no, three times the price to buy them back.

"Please, for the sake of Blackrock Mountain Market, lend a hand to my brother."

At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a sense of joy.

"I want to sell some talismans at a reasonable price to build a good reputation, but I'm worried about how to do that. Qi Tingsong has many connections, so he can help me promote them."

Thinking of this, he immediately took Qi Tingsong's hand and said, "Senior Brother Qi, you're being too polite. We both come from Black Stone Mountain Market and came to the mountain gate on the same boat."

Now that you're in trouble, how can I sit idly by?

Over the past year, I've indeed stockpiled some good stuff, but not a lot. I need to see how big your hole is; I need to see if what I have can fill it.

Seeing that he was willing to help, Qi Tingsong immediately beamed with joy: "At crucial moments, Senior Brother Jiang is still the most reliable!"

There aren't many talismans; just ten Rank 2, Initial Stage Golden Armor Talismans. Based on market prices, that's three hundred spirit stones, but I'm willing to offer nine hundred.

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "If it were anyone else, I would have to swindle at least a thousand spirit stones. But since you're buying, Senior Brother Qi, just give me three hundred spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tingsong was immediately stunned.

He then bowed to Jiang Chen and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang."

Jiang Chen immediately took out ten Golden Armor Talismans and handed them to Qi Tingsong: "No need for formalities. Speaking of which, there is something else I need your help with."

Qi Tingsong immediately patted his chest: "Senior Brother Jiang, just say what you need. As long as it's within my power, I'll do it even at the cost of my life."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "It's not that serious. I just heard you say that it's hard to buy talismans now, and I happen to have some on hand."

If any of our fellow disciples from outside the sect want to explore ancient cultivation sites but can't buy talismans, they can come to me to buy them.

"As long as they're from outside our ranks, I'll sell them to them at market price."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tingsong stared at Jiang Chen, stunned for a long time.

He then carefully straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly to Jiang Chen, saying, "Senior Brother Jiang is very righteous."

When I was young, I heard that Grandpa Jiang was a kind and generous man, a rare good person among wandering cultivators, but I thought it was an exaggeration.

"With such a magnanimous spirit, Senior Brother Jiang's reputation is certainly true."

"Senior brother's actions have saved the lives of many fellow disciples from outside the sect. He is truly a man of great benevolence and righteousness!"

Please rest assured, senior brother, I will definitely find those who truly need talismans and will absolutely not allow those who want to speculate and profiteer to sneak in.

……

For the next two weeks, Qi Tingsong was quite reliable, bringing one or two relatively poor disciples from other sects every day to buy talismans.

Gradually, Jiang Chen's reputation for being charitable spread.

Mentioning his name, all the disciples from outside the sect give him a thumbs up.

He even earned the nickname "Great Philanthropist Jiang".
