After discussing for a while, they still had no idea about Li Ruhai's purpose, but the matter of sending an envoy to Tianyue Kingdom was decided.
Ye Li had nothing to do these two days, so he continued to ponder his Earth Element Laws in the house. Now there were not many simple and easy-to-understand Earth Element Laws left, so Ye Li planned to take a chance and first follow the connection between the two elements of earth and gold to comprehend part of the Gold Element Laws.
He had previously comprehended a little bit of the Law of Earth, which was of great help to him. His ability to use the power of earth was greatly enhanced.
Even the ability to condense earth-based spiritual energy has increased. The earth-based talisman that was weakened to the limit here before, if you try to use it again, its power will be more or less restored.
Of course, the restored power was not too much after all, so Ye Li still did not plan to use the talisman. After all, if a talisman was not as powerful as his stomping of his feet, what was the point of using it.
Two days passed quickly. Just after Ye Li had comprehended the Law of Gold for a while, he received a notice from the Jinbao, asking him to go to the Jinbao early the next morning. Jin Shanshan would take him to the auction.
Early in the morning on the third day, after Ye Li came out of the palace, he quickly rushed to the Jinbao and met Jin Shanshan.
"Brother Ye Li, you are here. The auction will start in a while. I will take you to the sales floor to sit down first."
Jin Shanshan said to Ye Li with a smile.
Ye Li naturally smiled back and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Third Brother Jin. I thought we would have to wait a few days for the auction to start, but I didn't expect it to start so soon."
Jin Shanshan said: "We have been planning this auction for several months, and the goods and publicity are ready. It's just that your talisman was added two days ago, so we did two more days of publicity.
The things this time are very rich. If brother Ye Li, you have seen something you want to buy, but you don’t have enough spirit stones at the moment, we at Jinbao can lend you 10,000 high-quality spirit stones without interest.
I can lend you another 10,000 personally, making a total of 20,000 high-quality spirit stones.
You are in the VIP seat. I will arrange for someone to accompany you and tell you that if you need anything, just buy it directly and the person I arrange will pay for the spirit stones for you."
Hearing Jin Shanshan's words, Ye Li looked at him gratefully. There might be a lot of things at the auction, and there was no guarantee that he would not encounter what he needed. Jin Shanshan must have seen him auctioning the talisman treasure and knew that he did not have too many spirit stones, so he told him that he could borrow money to pay.
"Then I would like to thank you, Brother Jin San. But don't worry, I won't borrow too much even if I want to. I still have some spirit stones on me, so I can buy some things."
Ye Li said with a smile.
Jin Shanshan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite to me. Don't think you can't pay it back after borrowing 20,000 yuan. You are now a big favorite of His Highness. I heard that His Highness will take you with him when he goes on a diplomatic mission to Tianyue Country.
It can be said that it is a great honor for you to become a member of the diplomatic delegation as a retainer, or that His Highness values you very much.
With your current status as a bronze national scholar, even if you cannot become an official in the future, you will definitely be a nobleman in the country. It won’t take long for you to get the mere 20,000 high-quality spirit stones.
You should know that I am still very optimistic about His Highness. He is the future emperor.
When he becomes the emperor, with your status, there will be countless people asking you to do things for them. Even if you do nothing, you will still be able to earn spiritual stones continuously."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, he didn't think so much about it. He stayed here just as a temporary measure. After he found what he was looking for, he would naturally leave the Nine Souls Continent. By then, fame and fortune would be nothing but clouds to him.
After saying that, Jin Shanshan took Ye Li and quickly walked out of the Jinbao, then headed towards the east of the city.
"Brother Ye Li, we have the largest auction house in the country in Tangjing City, which can accommodate 3,000 people to participate in the auction. It is absolutely huge.
Now the guest list for the auction has been finalized. All the guests are distinguished guests from all over the country, and each of them has a considerable status and background.
So we are not worried that the goods will not be sold at auction. Given the financial resources of these people, as long as it is something special, most of them are willing to pay a high price to buy it. "
Jin Shanshan introduced everything to Ye Li as they walked.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Those people will buy anything that is slightly special. Don't they care whether these things can be used or not?"
Jin Shanshan laughed and said, "Buying something because you can use it is a poor person's way of thinking...
I'm sorry, Brother Ye Li, I'm not saying that you are poor, but I believe you are not rich yet!" Ye Li smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother Jin San, you don't have to save face for me. I am indeed a poor man, and I know this very well.
I’ve been to some auctions before, and the items there were really priced sky-high.”
Jin Shanshan said, “Yes, many celebrities come to the auction not to buy what they need, but to show off their wealth and background.
There are many people in this world who have too much money but nowhere to spend it; what they lack is fame.
After all, fame and fortune require more than just fortune, one also needs fame. Some people have no hope of becoming an official, but want to occupy a place among the nobles in various places. In this case, they can only show off themselves at such celebrity gatherings.
Once a person has a reputation, many things will become much easier to do, and he can also gain a reputation among celebrities and eventually enter a higher level circle.
This is a common method used by the rich, that is, to use financial resources to pave the way and climb into the upper circle. "
Ye Li was quite enlightened after hearing this. For someone like him who basically only knew how to practice cultivation, these principles were completely incomprehensible to him.
Of course, these principles are only suitable for use in places like the Nine Souls Continent. If they are placed in the Black Eye Continent, most of the families are independent of each other, and the so-called circles are determined by the strength of the family itself.
As long as your family or your own strength is strong, there will naturally be circles to win you over, otherwise the circle is just a decoration.
Power is not common in the Black Eye Continent. Unlike the Nine Soul Continent, the power of a country is concentrated in the hands of a group of people at the top. Even if some officials are just ordinary people, the power they hold is stronger than that of many spiritual warriors.
As they were talking, the two had already arrived in front of the auction hall. In front of Ye Li stood a huge, magnificent building, which was indeed worthy of the title of the largest building in the country.
Seeing Ye Li looking up and down at the building in front of him, Jin Shanshan said, "This is the auction venue. How is it? Isn't it magnificent?"
