The art of military formations is broad and profound.

Although Wang Xuan has not seen the real thing, a complete set of military formations at least uses a certain basic formation to the extreme and has evolved into many formations, which is very rare.

If it were the complete copy, the Xiao family would definitely not release it, especially now.

And my own deduction board can just make up for the missing parts.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan began to pay special attention to the secret book category:

"Water Ghost Concealment Technique" is a type of water-shaped escape technique. The practice method is too destructive, so skip it...

"The Art of War", good guys, these evil things are being filmed. Is it the Xiao family or someone else...

"Fire-nurturing Silkworm Method" is a kind of resource secret technique. The base price is: 3,000 yuan of black copper ingots from the Ministry of Industry or the equivalent in exchange for notes, plus an additional 10,000 taels of silver...

So expensive?

Wang Xuan checked them one by one, his eyes gradually becoming a little disappointed.

Sure enough, the secretarial inheritance families regarded it as taboo, and the products that were circulated were all low-end gadgets, and the prices were not low. His own "Taiyin Refining Chart" was already the highest level.

Although the Tiandao deduction board can be upgraded, it is not necessary and some of the gains outweigh the losses.

An idea suddenly came to Wang Xuan's mind.

Since secret books are so expensive, wouldn't it be an extra way to make money by collecting some incomplete secret techniques, completing them and selling them?

However, he soon gave up this idea.

Ordinary secret books cannot be sold at a high price, but a good secret book with the family's Dharma lineage may be even more powerful. In this situation, it is no different from capitalizing on the enemy.

In addition, there is another treasure that is also very coveted.

Black Abyss Meteoric Iron: Remains of the Battle of the Ice and Snow Great Wall in the 19th year of Xingyuan.

The Black Abyss Icefield in the far north is covered with ice all year round, with half days and half nights, and meteorites falling from the sky from time to time. It is an excellent product for refining weapons, but it is difficult to collect because there are many giant beasts, evil spirits, and barbarians in the ice field.

In the nineteenth year of Xingyuan, a huge meteorite fell and destroyed a section of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow. The barbarians took the opportunity to invade. Although they suffered heavy losses, the fragments of the meteorite allowed the family to make up for some of their losses.

This should be what the Xiao family received at that time.

My silver spear was damaged and I needed to refining it.

It's just that this thing is really not cheap...

Suddenly, something caught his eye.

It was a token-shaped object with a very simple label: an unknown antique from the Wei Dynasty, excavated from the ancient tomb in Canglan Mountain, open to bidding, and the highest bidder would win.

There are indeed many antiques in the treasure appreciation album, including jade, calligraphy and painting.

Since ancient times, dynasties in Middle-earth have changed, some of which have not even left their names. Many people are obsessed with exploration.

For example, Shanhai Academy compiled the lost texts into the "Hundred Tishu" for the academy disciples to study. That's why Chen Qiong was able to recognize the font of Youzhongshu in Yin Temple at that time.

But Wang Xuan had seen the things on the illustration.

It was the antiquities stolen by the Xueyi thieves when the Sihai Inn was attacked. When Manager Zhao of the Xiao family took it out, he could clearly see that even the patterns were exactly the same.

At the same time, he also remembered why those two figures were familiar.

It is the brothers of the evil Xiu Chen family who control the Taiyinmen zombies.

Skin painting!

…

Just when Wang Xuan was shocked, the transaction below was also completed.

In fact, when it comes to cultivation resources, each dharma lineage has someone who is specifically responsible for it, including disciple contributions, exchange of benefits, and allocation to each branch... There are many channels, and the treasure appreciation party is just one of them.

As the transaction came to an end, many people began to gather in twos and threes, chatting and complimenting each other.

The military government will be restructured, and the future will be full of changes.

In Bingzhou alone, barren mountains and forests stretch as far as the eye can see. The military government's meager military strength would not even make a splash if thrown in. In the future, whether it is to suppress evil or to open up wasteland, we must help each other.

Mo Huaixian ignored everyone, put away his things and walked directly to the fifth floor.

"Brother Mo, come with me..."

As soon as he went upstairs, Wang Xuan took him to a secluded place with an expressionless face and narrated what he saw and heard in a low voice.

"Blood-robed thief?"

Mo Huaixian became completely unstable.

Although the emptiness of the treasury was the main reason for the reorganization of the military government, the theft of the Divine Conferment Technique and the gathering of many hidden evil cultivators and chaos were also important factors.

The blood-robed thief was one of them. He hid in the deep mountains and forests. He could not even find the masters of the Taiyi Sect. He also committed several major crimes in Huaizhou, and a small family was almost uprooted.

The Mo family moved to the state to avoid disaster.

Of course he knew about the attack on Sihai Inn. He originally thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that it may not be simple.

"Mother..."

Mo Huaixian cursed lowly, his eyes filled with uncertainty, and then he thought deeply: "There is something strange about this matter. No matter what the thing is, if the bloody thief took the trouble to rob it, it will definitely not be auctioned. It should be a complete set."

"The manager of the Xiao family died. They must have known that the blood-clothed thieves were looking for them, but they deliberately took them out, as well as the evil cultivator brother who controlled the corpse...the Taiyin Sect elder..."

The two glanced at each other and understood each other.

There is also a trap set up for this treasure hunting party!

Wang Xuan looked at the maids who were setting up the arrangements, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Xiao family has prepared a real big show tonight."

That's right, it's a play.

Through the reorganization of the military government, when many families gathered together in the Treasure Hunting Club, they caught the evil cultivator in blood-clothed clothes with a wave of his hand, demonstrating the capabilities of the Xiao family, the number one family in Bingzhou.

Mo Huaixian shook his head and said: "The risk is too high, the gain outweighs the loss, and it is a bit reckless. As far as I know, the third son of the Xiao family rarely takes action, and if he does, it will be a dead end. It should be arranged by others..."

"Forget it, ignore them." Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "Since they are setting up a stage to sing, then we can just be the audience without worrying about being human inside and outside."

"Brother Mo, do you think you can get these two things?"

"Oh, the incomplete formation diagram. Brother Wang is proficient in formations, so he can use it as a reference..."

…………

Before you know it, the end of time is approaching.

The Xiao family has been a wealthy family for generations, so they are naturally very polite. After a banquet at noon, the guests gathered in the hall on the fourth floor to officially start the auction.

After knowing the purpose of the Taiyin Sect elder's visit, Wang Xuan no longer avoided it and followed Mo Huaixian into the hall and found a remote corner to sit down.

In today's grand gathering of the Xiao family, naturally no one will bring weapons. Wang Xuan, Ah Fu and Xiao Bai stayed at the inn, and everyone else was empty-handed.

Although Mo Huaixian had refined Qi, he was still shrewd in his head. With two powerful guards following him, Wang Xuan inevitably had to take more care of him.

Soon, the auction officially began.

Unexpectedly, the legendary Taiyin Sect elder did not show up. The Xiao family was managed by Manager Liu, and the Chen family brothers who were suspected of sneaking in with painted skin magic just now were nowhere to be seen.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly. Could it be that he was suspicious?

On the stage, after the smiling Manager Liu made a speech, two young men immediately brought a large bronze basin with runes engraved on the outside. Heat surged inside the basin, and a white fish without eyes swam slowly.

There seemed to be a faint spiritual light overflowing as the long tail flicked.

"The first piece is the Hot Spring Spirit Fish. This treasure is produced from the hot springs of the Dragon Vein Cave in Shanyin. The base price is 500 Gongbu Black Copper Ingots or the equivalent in exchange for notes, plus an additional 3,000 taels of silver."

Wang Xuan observed quietly and vaguely figured out many things.

This world has cultivation and Dharma veins, but there is no spiritual stone as an anchor, and silver cannot measure the price of spiritual materials, so we can only use barter and develop the currency exchange method.

It's just that things like futures are quite risky.

When times are stable, if someone hoards goods for short selling or selling, it can cause turmoil.

And in troubled times, it is estimated that it will collapse immediately...

Manager Liu has just finished the introduction, and someone is ready to bid.

"Fifty yuan of extra black copper ingots."

"Add sixty black copper ingots and a thousand taels of silver."

"Is there anyone else bidding..."

"Okay, Director Lu of Liuhe Yin and Yang Gate captured this spiritual fish."

Wang Xuan was not surprised to see a blue-robed Taoist priest capture it. This kind of Feng Shui fish was too wasteful to use for elixir making. The Liuhe Yin and Yang Sect were full of Feng Shui masters, so they would not let it go.

"The second item, two-tailed scorpions in the Tomb of the Underworld..."

"The third item..."

The auction went quickly and there was no tense atmosphere as expected.

After all, they are all from Bingzhou. They bow their heads but never look up. There are at most two parties competing for it. If the bid is slightly higher, they will give up, and the winner will hand it over as a sign of goodwill.

Of course, the Xiao family will give a reserve price for each treasure, which is usually 20% higher than the market price, so the seller will not lose money.
