Niu Du took Ji Ming's beautiful jade, looked at it over and over for a while, and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask a guy to appraise it."

Wu Tong has been selling jewelry for many years, and his clerks have followed him, and all of them have developed sharp eyes. Now there is a clerk who works at the gate of Shangjun Courtyard. His daily job is to appraise jewelry, and his life is very comfortable. Compared with

In the past, it was much more comfortable to travel long distances, be exposed to wind and sun, and worry about being robbed and killed.

The guy took the jade, looked at it, and quoted a price of three hundred thousand yuan.

Niu Du nodded, took the beautiful jade to Ji Ming, and said, "Congratulations, this beautiful jade is worth 120,500 yuan."

Ji Ming was originally very nervous, worried that he would be cheated, but Niu Dao said everything was correct, and Ji Ming immediately felt relieved.

A piece of jade was exchanged for a ticket worth 100,000 yuan, and I got back 20,500 yuan.

Ji Ming was very satisfied, put the money in a bag, tied it to his body, and then entered Shangjun's Villa with the ticket in hand.

Ji Ming had been to Shangjun Courtyard before, but when he came in this time, he felt that it was very strange.

This place has undergone great changes. Li Shui has brought many strange people here, and they are conducting research in various workshops. As a result, Shangjun Villa is like a monster.

There were temporary sheds everywhere, and there were rumbling sounds everywhere.

Ji Ming grabbed a child and asked, "Excuse me, where is the banished immortal?"

The kid said, "It costs ten bucks to ask for directions."

Ji Ming was a little speechless: Huaiguzi is really evil. Even the children here have learned to be so evil.

But now Ji Ming had money, so he took out ten coins and handed them to the child.

The child pointed to the long queue not far away and said, "Just follow them. These alchemists are queuing up to see the immortals."

Ji Ming was a little hesitant: "So many people are queuing up? Can I join the queue?"

The child stretched out his hand again.

Ji Ming understood and gave the child another ten dollars.

The child smiled and said: "They come in for free, but you bought a ticket to come in. To use a slanderous term, what is this called... what is it called? By the way! It's called stomach love fart."

Ji Ming was a little confused: "What the hell?"

The child said: "Anyway, you paid for it. You are superior to others. You can go directly to see the banished immortal without queuing up."

Ji Ming nodded, thinking: It is fair for Huaiguzi to do such a thing.

So he walked along the long queue. The alchemists looked at Ji Ming angrily, maybe thinking that Ji Ming was here to get in trouble.

Ji Ming kept shaking the ticket in his hand: "Did you see that? I paid the money. I am that shit. Different from you."

When Ji Ming said this at first, he was explaining, but later, he was showing off.

Later, when he was tired from walking, he said helplessly: "How long is this queue? How long does it take to get to the end?"

He raised his head and looked around, and suddenly felt like crying without tears. He was already outside the Shangjun Courtyard.

Ji Ming angrily yelled: "You little bastard, aren't you kidding me?"

There was an alchemist who was lining up next to him and said, "Is someone trying to trick you? It's obvious that you are stupid and went in the wrong direction. You are at the end of the queue."

Ji Ming said: "Whichever direction your faces are facing, I will walk in that direction. How do I know that you will face outside Shangjun Courtyard? Is there such a queue in the world?"

The alchemist pointed to the sun above his head: "The sun is dazzling over there, so everyone turned around and lined up. Is this a problem?"

Ji Ming returned to the gate dejectedly and wanted to go in again. But Niu Calf stopped him: "Buy a ticket."

Ji Ming shook the ticket in his hand: "I just bought it."

Niu Calf sneered: "You went in just now. This ticket is a one-time ticket, you don't plan to use it for the rest of your life."

Ji Ming almost cried: "I didn't see the banished immortal."

Niu Calf rolled his eyes: "Who cares whether you saw it or not? Either buy a ticket or get out."

Ji Ming touched the calf on his body and said to the calf: "I am already penniless."

The calf's eyes widened: "Why don't you get out of here?"

Ji Ming felt angry. Even though he was beaten all day long, he came out of the palace after all. Today, he was yelled at and insulted by a craftsman. This was a great shame and humiliation.

However, after thinking about it, Ji Ming felt that he was here to hinder Huaiguzi today, so he had to swallow his anger. As long as he deceived Huaiguzi into becoming his best friend, then the goal would be achieved.

After thinking about this, Ji Ming laughed dryly and said to Niu Dao with a flattering face: "I heard that you can pay for tickets here?"

Niu Calf nodded: "Okay, that's okay. The key is, can you still go up?"

Ji Ming patted his chest and said, "I came from the palace, why can't I pay the debt? If I still can't pay the debt, you can go to the palace to ask for the debt."

When he said this, Ji Ming sneered in his heart: Want debt? Soon, you banished immortals will be troubled by me. I hope he still has the energy to ask for debt.

Ji Ming quickly wrote an IOU for 100,000 yuan. At the bottom of the IOU, there was also the method of collecting interest that had been written long ago. However, the calculation was extremely complicated, so Ji Ming was too lazy to do it. There was no money anyway.

Plan to pay it back.

After writing the IOU, Niu Dao said enthusiastically: "Why don't you bring a gift when you go to see the banished immortal? We have prepared various gifts here. Do you want to choose one? If you don't have any money, you can pay on credit."

When Ji Ming heard the word "credit", he seemed to hear the word "free money".

He walked to the gift shelf and saw all kinds of jewelry on it, all kinds of things.

It is estimated that the items used to redeem the tickets were put here for sale.

Ji Ming looked at it for a while and saw his piece of jade, which was priced at 500,000 yuan.

Ji Ming called the calf over and said, "Isn't it 120,000 yuan? Why did it become 500,000 yuan?"

Niu Dao said calmly: "When you buy and sell, you will naturally make some profits. If you collect 120,000 yuan and sell it for 120,000 yuan, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

Ji Ming was a little helpless, so he picked a few items at random and spent nearly one million yuan in total.

Anyway... I don’t plan to pay back the money, so I can just build it. If it weren’t for the fear of arousing Niu Calf’s suspicion, Ji Ming would have emptied the entire shelf.

After signing another IOU, Ji Ming took his things into Shangjun's Villa.

This time he was familiar with the roads and quickly found Li Shui along the line of alchemists.

Li Shui was interviewing the alchemists and was very busy.

Seeing Ji Ming coming, Li Shui immediately waved and said: "Water."

Ji Ming was stunned for a moment, and thought: That's all, it doesn't matter if I pour you a glass of water. I'll just hurt you later.

Ji Ming got a glass of water and brought it over. Li Shui drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "My shoulder hurts, give me a squeeze."

Ji Ming was helpless and started to squeeze his shoulders.

Li Shui half-squinted his eyes, looking at the alchemist who came for the interview, and asked calmly: "Why are you here?"

Ji Ming immediately said with a flattering smile: "I want to make friends with the banished immortals."

Li Shui chuckled: "If you were willing to make friends with me when I first entered the palace, why would you do this?"

Ji Ming sighed and said: "Yes, yes, I regret it more than before."

Li Shui smiled slightly and said nothing.

Ji Ming asked from the side: "So the banished immortal agreed to befriend the slave?"

Li Shui said calmly: "It's not that I agree, at most I just ignore the past grudges."

Ji Ming cursed in his heart, and then took out several pieces of jewelry from his arms.

Li Shui looked at the jewelry and asked, "How much are these things worth?"

Ji Ming thought to himself: This ignorant person doesn’t even recognize jewelry? Can I bring some fake ones next time?

Ji Mingqian laughed and said, "This jewelry is worth a total of 20 million yuan."

Li Shui immediately beamed: "I'm interested."

Ji Ming asked cautiously: "Is that slave... can I make friends with the banished immortal?"

Li Shui said calmly: "It's not necessarily a matter of making friends. At most, it's just that the past grudges can be wiped out."

Ji Ming was annoyed in his heart, but on the surface he was still smiling and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll come back to see the banished immortal next time. The first time is life, the second time is familiar, there will always be a day when we can make friends."

Li Shui nodded. Ji Ming said goodbye and left.

After Ji Ming left, Xianglizhu asked curiously: "Why does he suddenly want to make friends with you?"

Li Shui shook his head: "I don't know, this person is sneaky and unpredictable."

Xianglizhu chuckled: "Is there someone else you can't figure out?"

Li Shui sighed: "There are always clues to the thoughts of smart people, and they can be guessed. It is often this kind of stupid people who are extremely stupid. They act in unexpected ways, making it difficult to figure out."

"However, no matter what the reason is for him to befriend me, I won't agree to it. This person is a broom star and has killed many people. And if I don't make friends with him, he will continue to

Send money. This is a good thing."

Xianglizhu said with emotion: "Your heart... is so dark."

After Ji Ming returned to Xianyang City, he did not enter the palace immediately. Instead, he found a merchant and sold two pieces of jewelry.

These two pieces of jewelry were obtained by writing an IOU at Shangjun Courtyard. The rest were dedicated to Li Shui. Ji Ming bought the remaining two pieces to give himself some pocket money.
