Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Shopping is really addictive!

This is Zhou Yang's real feeling after shopping on the giant flying ship.

People who don't like shopping have a thousand reasons, but the most important reason is that they haven't encountered something that makes them have a strong willingness to buy, or they have financial problems.

As for the treasures in the shops in the giant flying ship, Zhou Yang believed that no immortal cultivator would not be interested.

There are all kinds of rare treasures in the world of cultivating immortals in Donghuazhou, and even rare treasures from the world of cultivating immortals such as the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Jade Pendant". For monks in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea, the attraction should not be too great.

Even if you don't buy or can't afford those treasures, just having an eye addiction to increase your knowledge is a thing that is of great benefit to your practice.

If it wasn't for Taoist Xiao Ying who was retreating to attack the eighth floor of the foundation building, and the giant flying ship would stay in Xianyang City for a year, Zhou Yang would immediately send a message with his flying sword to call Taoist couple to go shopping together.

And as he visited more shops in it and talked more with the shop assistants, he gradually realized that almost every shop in this giant flying ship represented a power in the world of cultivating immortals in Donghua Continent. .

The so-called "Donghua Joint Merchant Group", just like its name implies, was jointly formed by more than one-third of the major sects and families of Donghua Continent.

It is precisely because so many powerful forces have invested in it that all kinds of treasures can be gathered in the giant flying ship, which can attract countless monks from the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou to come to shop and trade.

Zhou Yang also knew that the treasures brought out by various shops are definitely not the most precious things they brought this time.

Those real treasures should wait for the giant flying ship to arrive at the "Floating Cloud Immortal City" before they can be traded with others.

"Liuyun Immortal City" is the true holy place for cultivating in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

Zhou Yang came to Liuyunzhou to travel to the world of cultivating immortals this time, and he had already planned to use it as the last stop of this tour.

After spending nearly a day browsing through all the shops, he reluctantly left this floor and went to the third floor of the spaceship where the auction house was located through a teleportation light door.

This third floor space is nearly half smaller than the floor below. The deepest part is a semi-circular auction booth, and the rest of the space is for people to stand.

According to the trading rules, anyone who comes to this floor can bid for the items that are being auctioned on the auction platform.

But if you shout out, you have to be responsible. Once you bid for the auction and successfully bid for the treasure, you must pay to buy the treasure. If you bid indiscriminately, the auction house will directly arrest people!

When Zhou Yang arrived here, the first day's auction had already passed, and the second day's auction was still in preparation. Many monks from the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou were sending treasures to the treasure appraisers at the front desk for auction. .

Seeing this scene, after thinking about it, he also walked over and formed a line.

While queuing up, Zhou Yang also looked at the auction delivery rules on a public notice board next to him.

According to the above rules, no matter what the final transaction price is for sending treasures at this auction house, the auction house only charges a fixed 50% handling fee. At the same time, the treasures sent for auction must be of the fourth rank or above.

Only a fixed half of the handling fee is charged, which is undoubtedly much cheaper than the Xianyang City auction that Zhou Yang participated in.

But if you think about it carefully, there are actually many articles in this fee.

First of all, the "Donghua United Merchant Group" is an outsider. If the fee is higher than that of the local reputable Xuanyang Pavilion, or the same, it will definitely be difficult to attract monks from the immortal world of Liuyunzhou to hand over their treasures for auction.

Secondly, their auction will be held every day, and half of the handling fee will be charged, which will not only bring them a lot of treasures that can be auctioned to increase their popularity, but also earn more commissions for handling fees with small profits but quick turnover.

Third, because many of the treasures in the shops on the lower floor only accept barter exchange, many monks cannot buy valuable treasures even if they hold millions of spirit stones.

However, the existence of the auction provides them with a channel to convert spirit stones into treasures, so that those in need will be more willing to bid at a premium for certain treasures at the auction, which indirectly contributes to the entire "Donghua" Joint business group" to earn huge income from spirit stones.

To sum up, don't look at the trading rules announced by the "Donghua United Merchant Group", it seems that they don't like spirit stones, but in fact, after a trade trip, the spirit stones they earned, It is definitely an astronomical figure, and most of them are earned for nothing without a penny cost!

But it's not someone like Zhou Yang who sees through the truth, who will praise them for charging such a low commission, and will not hesitate to give them the title of "Conscience Merchant", and praise them endlessly.

The real thing is that they have to help count the money after being sold!

"There are masters in this Donghua United Business Group! I never thought that there would be such a business genius in the world of cultivating immortals who value strength and fists!"

Zhou Yang, who saw through all this, was amazed in his heart.

Even in the world of highly developed commerce and highly transparent information in his previous life, countless people have been tricked by this kind of inductive consumption method, let alone this world of cultivating immortals where commerce is not very developed. .

Of course, it is powerful to think of this kind of induced consumption method, but if you want to use it, you still need strong support. I will admit it honestly.

So this goes back to the theme of respecting power in the world of cultivating immortals. If you are unparalleled in wisdom and have no plans, if you don't have enough strength to support you, you will end up making wedding dresses for others!

Similarly, even if Zhou Yang has seen through everything, he still has to wait in line honestly for others to "sell" him.

The situation is stronger than people, and he has no choice.

After queuing like this for a while, it was finally his turn.

"There is a magic weapon here, fellow Taoist, let me estimate the price. If the price is right, Zhou will send it for auction!"

He took out a storage bag and handed it directly to the appraiser. The thing contained in it was the natal magic weapon "Kunyuan Ruler" of Jiang Ming, a golden elixir monk of the Huangshamen.

Although this kind of natal magic weapon of a monk in the Jindan stage cannot exert its real power in the hands of others, it is still a serious fifth-order magic weapon after all.

For some newly promoted Jindan period monks who don't have a fifth-tier magic weapon, or the ninth-level monks of the Purple Mansion, it is better to have such a fifth-tier magic weapon than to use a fourth-level top-grade magic weapon.

"The refining materials of this fifth-order magic weapon are good, but unfortunately, as a natal magic weapon, after the owner's death, the value of this item can no longer compare with that of the fifth-level magic weapon. I can give you an estimate of 150,000 low-grade spirit stones to try!"

The treasure appraisers in the auction are all people who appraise countless treasures. A fifth-order magic weapon that cannot exert its full power will not shock them. This person just opened the storage bag given by Zhou Yang to take a look. , and gave him a starting bid.

"Can you only estimate 150,000 low-grade spirit stones?"

Zhou Yang frowned, quite dissatisfied in his heart.

You must know that a good fourth-order high-grade magic weapon can reach this price, let alone a fifth-level magic weapon.

However, he also knows that it is normal for places like auctions to have a reserve price that is several percent lower than the normal price for the treasures sent for auction, except for those rare treasures.

In doing so, it can make the people participating in the auction have a feeling of picking up the leak, and bid enthusiastically for the auction.

Secondly, if the price is lower than the normal price, the possibility of passing the auction is very low, and once the treasure fails to sell, not only will the auction house not earn commissions, but it will also have some impact on the reputation of the auction house.

So after pondering for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, 150,000 spirit stones is just 150,000 spirit stones."

This "Kun Yuan Ruler" is still in his hand and he won't need it. Instead of keeping it in the storage ring and eating ashes, it's better to replace it with a spirit stone.

Immediately, after completing the auction delivery procedures and receiving the auction delivery voucher, Zhou Yang found a place to sit down in the auction house.

The interesting thing about this auction house is that when the auction officially starts, there will be a powerful illusion covering the audience. At that time, all the monks in the auction house will have their consciousness pulled into the illusion, and then all auctions will be held in the auction hall. in phantom.

In this way, no third-party personnel will know who has auctioned off the treasure at the auction except for the personnel in the auction house.

After Zhou Yang waited for more than two hours, the auction officially started.

At that time, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the auction house, and before Zhou Yang could see the origin of the thick fog, the scene in front of him changed, and it suddenly turned into a magnificent palace of gold and jade green.

He cast a spell slightly to condense a water mirror and looked at the mirror, and found that his face had changed from a young and handsome young man to a gentle and elegant middle-aged teacher, and the aura of the purple mansion on his body had also inexplicably strengthened Arrived at the sixth floor of the Purple Mansion.

Then he looked at other people, and saw that there was no one in the auction house that he had seen before. They were all unfamiliar faces, and it was impossible to tell who was behind the owner of that face. Male or female.

Just as Zhou Yang was looking at the situation in the hall, a white light suddenly flashed in the no-man's area in the center of the magnificent hall, and soon a thin old man with silver hair was revealed.

As soon as the old man appeared, he just waved his hand, and a table made of condensed clouds and mist appeared in front of him, and behind Zhou Yang and the others, a grand teacher's chair made of condensed clouds and mist appeared at the same time.

After finishing all this, the old man cupped his hands to the astonished crowd with a smile on his face and said, "Welcome fellow Taoists to the Hall of Illusions. Next is Lin Beihe, the auctioneer for today's auction. Please say hello to me." Friends, sit down, the auction will start immediately."
