"Zhenbao Pavilion?" Ji Ling couldn't help frowning.
"There is no one from Zhenbao Pavilion." Dongyan glanced at Ji Ling, "What do you mean?"
"Zhenbao Pavilion is one of the two or three shops that I mentioned before that often sell good-quality goods. It is run by a few casual practitioners." Because I already know the real cultivation of Luo Bei, An Dongyan and others , Ji Ling is already full of awe towards Luobei, An Dongyan, Nalan Ruoxue and Caishu, so his tone and demeanor are more careful and respectful, "I have been working in Nantianmen for more than ten years, and I am the most powerful person in Nantianmen. I have sent some people to buy good things in the market. There are many ascetics who have good things in their hands. They can also hand them over to Zhenbao Pavilion for sale, but Zhenbao Pavilion takes 10% of the price. It’s just that the trading method of Zhenbao Pavilion is auctioned, so the seller has no risk, because I only know that it was auctioned by Zhenbao Pavilion, and I don’t know who handed it to Zhenbao Pavilion for sale, but the buyer has There is a big risk, if you buy something good, it will fall into the eyes of others who participate in the auction, and it is very likely that many people will directly follow it secretly. Forging a big enmity, Zhenbao Pavilion's transaction method has been secretly criticized by many shops, but Zhenbao Pavilion has never taken it seriously. Basically, the auction price is higher than the usual price, and the profit of Zhenbao Pavilion is very large, and each Those who want to enter the Zhenbao Pavilion auction have to pay 300 silver in advance, even if they can't buy anything, the 300 silver must be paid to the Zhenbao Pavilion."
Luo Bei nodded, "So, Zhenbao Pavilion has these two kinds of medicinal materials, but they don't trade them directly. Are we going to participate in this kind of auction in Zhenbao Pavilion?"
Ji Ling said: "Yes, in this way, no matter whether you can successfully trade or not, Zhenbao Pavilion will earn at least three hundred silver more."
"This shop is good at doing business." Cai Shu sneered, "The things in our cultivation world are not like ordinary things in the world. They have a certain price. If the Zhenbao Pavilion does this, if you get a few people in it to drive up the price , but you can earn a few percent more. And maybe you can trade something out, and you can steal it secretly, and then snatch it back. Anyway, there are many people who saw it at the auction, so I don’t know who made it.”
Ji Ling murmured: "Many people in Nantianmen do have such doubts, but the things traded in Zhenbao Pavilion are indeed good, and there are certain risks in trading in Nantianmen anyway, so the ascetics who went to their auction Still a lot."
"In this case, I really want to see this Treasure Pavilion." Dongyan smiled and asked, "When will the auction of their Treasure Pavilion start?"
"The Treasure Pavilion is held once a day." Ji Ling said, "It just so happens that today's auction is about to start."
Ji Dongyan nodded, "Let's go, then let's go see the auction of Zhenbao Pavilion now."
"I'll lead the way for you right now." Hearing what Dongyan said, Ji Ling didn't dare to neglect, and immediately walked ahead to lead the way.
"This is the Treasure Pavilion?"
Ji Ling took Luo Bei and others to the city. After passing through a large area of buildings and several markets with many monks, the group of four in Luo Bei saw a dilapidated fountain. Below the fountain is a pool surrounded by white rocks. In the pool are more than a dozen lotus leaves carved from bluestone, most of which are broken, but the water is still dripping from the lotus leaves, which looks very clear. And on a building not far behind the fountain, there is a glittering golden plaque with the words "Zhenbao Pavilion" written on it.
This is a circular building, a bit like an upside-down lotus leaf, and the outer walls are all light blue. There are some obvious dilapidated places, which have been artificially repaired carefully, and it looks very clean.
"This Zhenbao Pavilion is indeed a good profit."
In just a moment, Dongyan saw seven ascetics enter the Zhenbao Pavilion.
At the circular arched entrance of Zhenbao Pavilion, two young men in brocade clothes stood on one left and one on the right, with the words Zhenbao Pavilion embroidered on their chests.
When the seven ascetics entered the Treasure Pavilion, they all handed over the corresponding silver tickets to the two young men. Among the seven ascetics, four are alone, and three are traveling together like Luo Bei and others.
"Oh? Little clever?" Luobei and his party walked to the door, and the two young men in brocade clothes had already seen Ji Ling behind the four of them, "Since the four guests were brought by him, it must be very Know the rules of our Zhenbao Pavilion." Immediately, a young man in brocade clothes with slightly freckles on his face said to the four people in Luobei: "To participate in the auction of Zhenbao Pavilion, each person must first pay three hundred taels of silver."
Cai Shu sneered and said, "Three hundred taels per person, your Zhenbao Pavilion is really good at making money."
"It's worth it." The young man in brocade clothes said neither humble nor overbearing, "There will be no counterfeit items in my Treasure Pavilion. And most of the people who can enter our Treasure Pavilion will not care about the three hundred taels of silver."
"Let's go." An Dongyan smiled, the young man in brocade clothes was right at the moment, they really didn't care about the few hundred taels of silver. So she didn't bother to care about it, and directly took a silver ticket and handed it to the young man in brocade clothes.
"Four or five?" The young man in Jinyi immediately asked when he saw that Dongyan handed over a two thousand tael bank note.
Ji Dongyan said: "There are five of us here, naturally there are five of us."
"Among the five please."
Two young men in brocade clothes stretched out their hands to lead the five of them into the gate. Inside was a passage covered with red blankets and snow-white jade walls on both sides. While looking at it, a man in black clothes came out from inside.
This man is about the same height as Luo Bei, with a square face, and looks very ordinary, but when he saw this man in black clothes, Luo Bei, Yan Dongyan, Nalan Ruoxue, and Cai Shu felt very different in their hearts. They move at the same time.
Although everyone in Nantianmen couldn't feel the mana fluctuations, the blood energy in this ordinary-looking man was very strong, at least ten times stronger than that of ordinary ascetics.
Exuberant blood qi means strong qi and blood and tyrannical physical strength.
And as soon as they saw the golden and jade-like luster on the man's skin, the four of Luo Bei immediately saw that this man, like Luo Bei, practiced the technique of physical sanctification.
It's just that the physical sanctification practiced by this man is obviously much worse than that of Gu Liuyun in Luobei and Kunlun, because it is difficult to see the clues from the appearance of Gao Ming's physical sanctification, but this man However, his skin was faintly blue in color.
But no matter what, an ascetic who cultivates the sanctification of his body has a powerful deterrent effect in this Nantianmen market. No matter how high the cultivator outside is, if he meets a cultivator who practices the body sanctification method in the Nantianmen market, he will have to weigh it in his heart first.
"Under the Iron Qiu." Luo Bei saw through at a glance that this person practiced the technique of sanctifying the flesh, but he didn't see that Luo Bei also practiced the technique of sanctifying the flesh, and it was far above him. After eyeing Luo Bei and the others, the man named Tie Qiu turned around numbly, "Five come with me, the auction of our Treasure Pavilion is about to start."
The red blanket covering the ground stretches all the way to a black iron gate engraved with countless auspicious clouds.
With several "quacks", Tie Qiu easily pushed open the heavy black iron door, but the hall inside was also covered with red blankets. The entire hall is circular with a diameter of about fifteen feet, surrounded by white jade walls, engraved with countless patterns of flying celestial maidens, and on the top is a round dome embedded with strips of sapphire. peace.
In addition, there are also many hollow white crystal balls hanging, inside which are placed fire symbols that can continuously emit fire. Even if the entire hall is brighter, it adds a sense of splendor.
There are at least forty tables in the hall, all of which are separated by rosewood screens.
"Sure enough, there are a lot of people who come to Taobao."
"This kind of screen can be said to be a pretentious gesture."
Luo Bei saw at a glance that among the more than forty tables, there were more or less people sitting on at least thirty tables. Although there are screens around these tables, there are gaps after all. With the eyesight of a monk, it is not difficult at all to try to see the appearance and clothing of the people on that table clearly.
"It's about to start, please find a place to sit down."
Before Luo Bei took a closer look, Tie Qiu, who was in front of Luo Bei and the others, turned around and said to Luo Bei and the others.
Luo Bei didn't say much, nodded, found a table at random, and sat down. Not long after I sat down, I saw the two white curtains in front of me being pulled aside, revealing a round platform carved out of bluestone.
A tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a black shirt similar to Iron Fur stood on the round platform.
This tall and thin middle-aged man had high cheekbones. Although his expression was not vicious, his eyes were very sharp, which naturally gave people a very serious and cold feeling.
"It's not that this person has cultivated the physical sanctification method, and he can't see his cultivation."
Luobei looked at this tall and thin middle-aged man, but heard him say coldly, "It's raining. Mo Shi is the second in charge of Zhenbao Pavilion. Since everyone is sitting here, you should accept my deal with Zhenbao Pavilion." The rules are very clear, and I don't want to talk nonsense, now that the time has come, the first item to be traded is a fire crow egg."
"Fire crow eggs? It seems that the items in the Treasure Pavilion are of a much higher grade than those in ordinary shops."
Upon hearing the name of the first traded item that Yu Moshi uttered, such an idea immediately appeared in Luo Bei's mind.
The fire crow is a kind of exotic bird that grows in the crater of a volcano, it can spew out fierce fire to attack the enemy.
The intensity of the flames ejected by the Fire Raven is at the same level as that of the Salamander, but because the Fire Raven usually likes to devour the fiery sulfur fume from the crater, the fire emitted when facing the enemy naturally contains a large amount of condensed sulfur, which can be like Yin phosphorous sand generally burns the opponent's magic weapon. In addition, the fire lizard cannot fly, but the flying speed of the fire crow is higher than that of ordinary flying swords, so the Nantianmen divides the ranks of the beasts and insects into twelve grades, like the fire lizard and the wire centipede can only Ranked to the second rank, and this fire crow is the same as the bluetooth demon spider mentioned by Ji Ling earlier, but it can be ranked to the seventh rank, and its power against the enemy is much higher than that of ordinary flying swords.
It is easy to tame the fire crow egg directly by hatching it, so when Ji Ling heard that the first thing to be traded was a fire crow egg, envy and desire appeared on Ji Ling's face.
As soon as he said that the first thing to be traded was a fire crow egg, Yu Moshi standing on the cyan round platform did not explain what the fire crow egg was, but said coldly, "This fire crow egg The base price of the crow eggs is 20,000 gold."
While talking, a young man in brocade clothes came up holding a gold plate, and a fire crow egg as flat as a pebble shone red, exuding warm heat, even Luo Bei, who was more than ten meters away from the round platform, People can feel it all.
"Twenty thousand gold? It's not expensive." Cai Shu couldn't help but said softly.
After turning around a few stalls outside, Caishu now has a little understanding of the approximate prices of ordinary things. This fire crow egg is equivalent to a tamed fire crow for a monk with a little skill. Much better than ordinary flying swords. And the third-rate exercises like that outside cost tens of thousands of gold, and an ordinary flying sword costs at least tens of thousands of gold. The price of the fire crow eggs is indeed too cheap in Caishu's opinion.
"Cheap?" Hearing Caishu say it was cheap, Dongyan smiled, "Twenty thousand gold is cheap, but it is impossible to buy this fire crow egg with twenty thousand gold."
"kindness?"
Before Cai Shu had time to say anything else, he heard a shrill voice from a corner in front of the left saying, "Twenty-five thousand gold".
"Twenty-eight thousand gold", as soon as the thin voice fell, someone said calmly in front of him.
....
"Thirty thousand gold!"
"Thirty-five thousand gold!"
In a short while, the price had reached 35,000 gold.
....
"This kind of auction is really a good way to increase the price." Cai Shu really understood now that if he wanted to buy this fire crow egg, the final price might be several times higher than the reserve price. Because outside transactions are two-person interviews, the price is about the same and the deal is completed, but this kind of deal is fought by many people. Once the fight starts, the multiple thousands of gold can no longer be felt.
"Forty thousand gold!"
…
Hearing that someone quoted a price of 40,000 gold, Ji Ling let go of his sweaty fist in pain.
In fact, Ji Ling has been fighting fiercely in his heart just now. He really wants to get this fire crow egg, because this fire crow egg is really useful for a monk like him.
The fire crow is more powerful than ordinary flying swords, and if you buy a flying sword, you have to find a way to buy a suitable flying sword. And if you buy exercises at the same price, you have to go to Nantianmen to practice. Because the magic circle of this Nantianmen is still different from that of Emei Yunmeng Palace, you can't practice in it, and you have to worry about being watched and attacked secretly when you go out. However, the fire crow eggs can be hatched directly in the Nantianmen. With a firecrow, going out of the Nantianmen is equivalent to having an extra weapon for self-defense.
So after struggling violently in his heart for a long time, Ji Ling still managed to convince himself that he would buy this fire crow egg if it did not exceed 40,000 gold.
Because the money that Ji Ling has accumulated for a long time and the value of several defensive items on his body add up to about 40,000 gold.
Making such a determination already made Ji Ling sweat all over, because he was only here to accompany Luo Bei and others, not to trade. It's just because the fire crow egg is really useful to him, but what makes him helpless now is that the price has directly exceeded 40,000 gold.
"Do you really want this fire crow egg?" But just as he let go of his sweaty fist and closed his eyes in pain, Luo Bei glanced at him and asked.
Ji Ling, whose mind was still blank, was stunned, and nodded subconsciously.
"As long as you are willing to work for me, I will buy this fire crow egg and give it to you." Luo Bei looked at Ji Ling and said very directly. In fact, when he saw Ji Ling, he already had the heart to recruit, and Dongyan also saw what he meant, and deliberately gave Ji Ling a lot of benefits. What Luobei has to do now is to do it more thoroughly.
"Working for you?" Ji Ling's heart was beating violently, and his breathing became unstoppable.
"That's right, you just need to stay in Nantianmen and collect some information. Let me tell you what we want to buy, and you can keep an eye on it for us. If you buy it, just leave it to us." Luo Bei looked at Ji Ling and said: " You don't need to do anything else. If I want to open a shop here in the future, I will naturally send someone to assist you."
Ji Ling breathed violently. Although he still didn't know the true identity of Luo Bei at this moment, the supreme majesty and demeanor naturally revealed by Luo Bei made him feel strongly that it was unimaginable for him to meet ordinary ascetics. Opportunity. Without any hesitation, Ji Ling directly bowed to Luo Bei, "Master, I am willing to work for you."
"Okay!" Luo Bei glanced at Ji Ling indifferently, then turned his head and smiled at Caishu, "Junior Sister Caishu, help me take a picture of this fire crow egg."
At this time, Cai Shu was already itching, not because the fire crow egg had any special attraction to her, but because she saw so many people shouting enthusiastically, but she looked at nothing at the side. He was eager to try, and now when he heard Luo Bei say that, Cai Shu suddenly became excited, and immediately shouted, "Fifty thousand gold!"
