Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Wanbao Pavilion, the crowd outside the venue was surging, but the venue was unexpectedly calm, and there were not many people who really joined in the fun.

This is also a kind of screening of the target population by "Wandao Points". Although the exchange ratio is the same, don't forget that there is a transaction tax in the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel does not recognize any private currency. The exchange of Wandao Points will be judged by the Tower of Babel as a gift, and taxes will be collected as well, or a two-way tax, both buyers and sellers have to pay, the more exchanges, the more they pay.

In addition, Wanbao Pavilion has set a capital requirement, and only those who meet the Wandao Points standard can enter the venue to participate in the auction. After a while, it becomes a screening. Those who are not strong enough and courageous can only watch from the outside, and those who are rich and generous can enter the competition.

In this way, the venue is quiet, and the major forces are tacitly silent. Even if there are words, they are undercurrents, unlike the noise outside the venue.

"Tongtian Palace!"

"Youming Daofu!"

"Kunlun Fairyland!"

"Zhou Family, Ning Family, Tantai Family..."

"That unlucky Ji Xingyue is here too!"

"It was so hard to wait until that monster Meng Huaian advanced, and then there came another one who was even more unlucky. No one could be so unlucky."

"No one could be more unlucky than the Zhou Family. They made such a scene out of nowhere. Not only did they lose face, but they also had to bite the bullet and pinch their noses to come and redeem their own things with a large sum of money."

"Hmph, you will suffer for your own sins. Who told them to be blind and not discipline their subordinates?"

" That can't be said. Looking at the methods of Wanbao Pavilion, we know that this person is ambitious and has great plans. He is definitely not someone who is willing to be inferior to others. Even if Tongtian Academy does not treat him harshly, he will sooner or later establish himself as a king. Now that it has been detonated in advance, the Zhou family may be grateful. "

"If you ask me, the most unlucky ones are Ning Bozhong and Tan Taiqin. They were dragged into the pirate ship by Zhou Tianqi and became the money-delivering boy. The territory they worked hard to build was gone in one day, and their status in the family also plummeted. I don't know if they can be promoted to the ninth level in the future?"

Everyone kept silent tacitly, but they also communicated tacitly, and rumors and gossips continued.

Being in the scene, feeling the eyes of everyone, Zhou Tianqi's face was gloomy, and he was angry but helpless.

He didn't want to come, but he had to come. Although the family promised to make up for his losses and redeem the important things with a large sum of money, this was only a verbal promise. Whether it can be implemented depends on the specific situation.

If he doesn't come and gives the power of this matter to others, he will lose a lot of vital treasures in the end.

If you don't care about your own things, how can you expect others to fight for you?

"It's all the fault of those bastards!"

"Being greedy, putting personal interests above public ones, you only know how to be a borer and eat away at your own foundation!"

"The old ancestor is the same, letting things go, doesn't he know the truth that a thousand-mile dam collapses because of an ant hole?"

"If I don't take advantage of this incident to make a good thing, then my Zhou family's ten thousand-year foundation..."

"Thank you all for coming, the first Wandao Conference officially begins!"

Before he could make up his mind, he was interrupted.

Zhou Tianqi's eyes turned cold, and he looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a woman appear on the stage. It was Zhang Yan, the manager and leader of Wanbao Pavilion.

Zhang Yan came on the stage, without saying much, and went straight to the point: "Next, please welcome the first item - the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

As soon as the voice fell, the item came on the stage, which was a long banner with a sinister aura.

As soon as this item came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ning Bozhong.

Ning Bozhong looked at the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the stage with cold eyes, feeling both relieved and angry.

Needless to say, he was angry. In front of everyone, the magic weapon was auctioned off. How could he not be angry at such a shame?

But besides being angry, he had to be relieved because others did not even have the qualifications to be angry.

After all, the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner was special. It was a treasure of the netherworld and was not suitable for ordinary people to use. That was why it was auctioned by that person, and he had the opportunity to redeem it.

Zhou Tianqi and Tan Taiqin did not have this luck. Their artifacts were general equipment. Even if that person did not use them himself, he could give them to his heroes. They had no chance to redeem them. They could only swallow their anger and bear the loss alone.

"The Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a second-level mythical equipment, has 200 basic spell damage and 60 attribute bonuses, as well as 6,000 mana growth. The special effects are very outstanding, especially suitable for lords and heroes of the netherworld..."

"The starting price is 100 million Dao points, and each bid must not be less than 10 million Dao points!"

"10,000 points!?"

Hearing the price reported by Zhang Yan, everyone present frowned, and Ning Bozhong's face was even more gloomy.

100 million Dao points, although it sounds not much, is actually not less, because behind every point of 10,000 Dao points, there are a lot of financial resources, such a starting price is simply a lion's mouth.

But they have to admit that the other party has the capital to ask for a lion's mouth. After all, mythical equipment rarely flows out. Even a special mythical equipment like the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner is in a state of being in the market but not priceless, and it is reasonable to auction it at a premium.

"11,000 points!"

As expected, before the surprise was over, someone made a decisive bid.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was not Ning Bozhong, but someone else.

"It's Jiang Tao from Senluo Palace!"

"The Netherworld Daofu and Ning Bozhong's mortal enemy."

"Now it's time to watch a good show."

"This Wanbao Pavilion is really sinister."

"Humph, blinded by greed, not knowing how to advance or retreat, one day it will backfire on itself."

"With a powerful enemy in front of them, they are still fighting like this, no wonder the power of the Demon Abyss is increasing day by day!"

"Who is the demon..."

Looking at the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the stage, and Jiang Tao who was trying to provoke a fight, everyone sighed in their hearts.

"Humph!"

Ning Bozhong snorted coldly, not giving in at all: "Twelve thousand points!"

"Thirteen thousand points!"

"Fifteen thousand points!"

"Eighteen thousand points!"

The two of them were tit-for-tat, and the situation was tense. The shouting became louder and louder, and the gunpowder smoke became thicker and thicker.

Finally...

"Twenty-eight thousand points!"

Ning Bozhong's face was cold, and he raised the price again.

"A gentleman does not take away what others like, and I should help others!"

Jiang Tao smiled faintly, knowing that the price had already exceeded a lot, and there was no benefit in arguing, so he simply gave in and gave Ning Bozhong a heart-piercing stab.

"Humph!!!"

Ning Bozhong snorted coldly, ignored it, and only looked at the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the stage.

"Twenty-eight thousand points once!"

"Twenty-eight thousand points twice!"

"Twenty-eight thousand points three times!"

"Congratulations to this guest for winning the first lot!"

Zhang Yan smiled and ordered someone to take the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner off the stage and hand it to Ning Bozhong.

Because it is a private currency and is not recognized by the Tower of Babel, there is no need for any transaction procedures or tax calculations. Just deduct the Ten Thousand Dao Points exchanged by Ning Bozhong from the account.

A second-level artifact, a premium auction, plus the exchange of Ten Thousand Dao Points, this in and out, the profit is not several times, but also one, two, three times, which is equivalent to a big win.

Ning Bozhong took back the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his face was gloomy, and he said nothing.

Twenty-eight thousand points, with the value of Ten Thousand Dao Points, this transaction price has exceeded several times.

Even if it is a second-level artifact, it is not worth his bloodbath.

But the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not just a second-level artifact for him, it also involves his territory and is one of the keys to the advancement of the "Netherworld Ghost Domain".

Such an important item left him no choice, even if the premium was several times higher, he had to bite his teeth and take it back.

On the auction stage, Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Now, please welcome the second lot - the Star Sword Order!"

"This item is the core of civilization, which can transform all territories of the second level and below into the affiliated civilization of Tongtian Fairy Palace - Zhoutian Sword Sect!"

"Tongtian Fairy Palace is a ninth-level fairy civilization. Although Zhoutian Sword Sect is an affiliated civilization, it is also extremely strong in the middle and low levels. It has the two characteristics of "star" and "sword cultivation". It can transform the power of stars into special resources, Zhoutian Star Stones, through supporting buildings."

"Consuming Zhoutian Star Stones, you can train special soldiers, Zhoutian Sword Cultivators, who have extremely powerful long-range attack capabilities and can fly with swords, causing fatal blows to territories without no-air defense capabilities."

"The starting price is 10 million Dao points, and each bid cannot be less than 1 million Dao points!"

The second lot was presented on the stage, and everyone's eyes shifted to Zhou Tianqi, one of the three focuses.

"This thing was taken from his territory, right?"

"How miserable!"

"Zhoutian Sword Sect is a subordinate civilization of Tongtian Fairy Palace and is restrained by Tongtian Fairy Palace. That person has such a big grudge with Zhou family, so he naturally dare not use it and can only auction it."

"But who among the people present will be short of..."

"One thousand one hundred points!"

"One thousand two hundred points!"

"One thousand three hundred points!"

The shouts interrupted their thoughts. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw many unfamiliar faces competing fiercely.

"These casual cultivators!"

"He calculated everything!"

"How can an orphan who has no father or mother and is raised by Tongtian Academy have such a mind and calculation?"

"If it weren't for the restrictions of Tongtian Tower, the method of taking over the body would not work, and reincarnation would be out of the question. I would suspect that he is some old monster who has been resurrected by borrowing a corpse!"

"All the schemes are calculated, all the schemes are calculated!"

Seeing this, people from all sides also smiled helplessly.

Although the main force of this auction is the people of these big forces, there are also some individual lords participating.

Under the promotion of Wanbao Pavilion, many individual lords with some wealth have exchanged Wandao points, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up bargains.

They naturally dare not fight for things like the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and they don’t have the strength to fight for it, but this Star Sword Order...

The big forces don’t look down on such civilized items because they can make them themselves.

But those civilian lords and individual lords are different. Don’t look at the fierce competition on the reputation list, this mythical hero, that magic civilization, but these are all things on the reputation list, and only the proud sons of heaven have the capital.

Many ordinary lords, even if they are promoted to the second level, still use ordinary dynasty civilizations such as Song and Jin. In their eyes, the top magic civilizations such as Zhoutian Sword Sect and Nether Ghost Cave are out of reach.

Although Tongtian Academy and other forces would hold auctions every once in a while and release a batch of such civilized items, it was still rare for outsiders to get their hands on them. After all, everyone had a few distant relatives and neighbors, and at worst, some cats and dogs, which had long been digested internally. Even if they occasionally leaked out, they were sold at sky-high prices.

Therefore, such opportunities are extremely rare now, not to mention that Wanbao Pavilion has also lowered the price a bit. The starting price of 10 million Dao points is definitely a good value for money for a legal civilization of the level of Zhoutian Sword Sect.

Although the starting price is not equal to the transaction price, his Wanbao Pavilion has already gained a reputation for benefiting the public, which is bound to attract more lords to join his Wanbao Pavilion and Wandao Points business system, allowing him to snowball and grow bigger and stronger.

This method, seemingly a commercial operation, is actually a control of people's hearts. It is comprehensive and watertight. It wants both fame and profit. The calculation of people's hearts and the control of the situation have reached a terrifying level.

This is the skill and scheming that a low-level lord who has no father, no mother, no home, and no family can have?

Or is there some master behind the scenes who wants to stir up the situation?

Everyone was silent, thinking a lot.

A group of scattered lords took this opportunity to quickly complete the competition, and finally bid for the Star Sword Order at a price of 30 million Dao points.

Although the transaction price is three times the starting price, it is still worth it for these scattered lords. If they were not short of money and the exchanged Dao points were not many, they would have to compete and raise the price to four times.

All parties watched coldly and let these scattered lords compete. Even Zhou Tianqi, the "sufferer", did not leave.

It's not that they don't want to leave, but that they can't leave.

Yes, they have the capital to suppress these individual lords and take the Star Sword Order with their strong financial resources.

But what good will this do for them? They don't need this thing. At most, they can maintain a monopoly.

But if they still engage in monopoly at this time, wouldn't it be the will of Wanbao Pavilion and jump into the pit dug by that person?

He had already planned it and was waiting for these big forces to do it!

Once they do this, Wanbao Pavilion will truly gain both fame and fortune, and become a good business that benefits the public and civilians, while these big forces will play the role of monopolizing operations, blocking channels, and not allowing the public to rise.

Although they are such a role, there are some things that they are not afraid of anything but comparison.

Now it is the same. Once they do it, compared with Wanbao Pavilion, the good and the bad will be immediately clear, the gap will be immediately widened, and people's hearts will definitely be inclined to let more individual lords and civilian lords join the business system of Wanbao Pavilion.

In this way, the reputation of Wanbao Pavilion and the value of Wandao Points will be effectively raised, forming a virtuous circle, becoming bigger and bigger, and becoming a giant, a gold-eating beast.

Therefore, they cannot jump into this pit, and can only watch Wanbao Pavilion win people's hearts and gain fame and fortune.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Although these big forces stand at the top of the Tower of Babel, the billions of scattered lords and civilian lords are also the cornerstones of the Tower of Babel.

After all, the mechanism of the Tower of Babel is there, with countless opportunities and endless possibilities. The scattered lords and civilian lords may not be unable to come forward.

Wanbao Pavilion wants to take advantage of this and use these big forces as stepping stones to advertise itself, so as to win the trust of the public and then use the power of the public to strengthen itself.

If this goes on, it won't be long before Wanbao Pavilion's image of breaking the monopoly will be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Wandaodian's business system will surely become stronger and stronger, impacting the market and encroaching on profits...

He is not holding an auction at all, it is clearly digging out the roots of these big forces!

What to do?

Should we fight him internally and engage in price dumping to squeeze him to death?

This is not a normal business war. No matter how low you push the price, he will at most not make money, but will never die. After all, if he can't make money, he can still rob. So many Demon Abyss territories are his supply channels. With his strength, he can completely do business without cost, and it is impossible to squeeze him to death.

On the contrary, they are big forces with such a huge size, and the market is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. Once a price war is launched, a large number of individual lords and civilian lords will surely flock in, making them earn less profit for every product they sell.

Quantity changes and quality changes, and they are probably unwilling to bear the final loss.

The most important thing is, can you keep fighting this price war?

It will always go back up, right?

After you go back up, he jumps out again. Alas, things are back to square one. He gets both fame and fortune, and you are notorious.

Originally, this kind of problem is easy to solve. It is not that there have been such smart characters in the past, but the major forces only used a very simple method to solve the problem.

But this very simple method cannot be used on Wanbao Pavilion, at least not now, because this method is too simple, so simple that there is only one word.

Kill!

If you can't kill, you can't solve it!

So now...

Looking at the scattered lord who bid for the Star Sword Order, and then looking at the second civilized item on the stage, everyone finally understood what the stone in the pit was.

This auction, this Wandao Point, and this orphan lord are really disgusting!
