Qu Wuming has been a senior member of Xianghe Zhai for hundreds of years, so he is naturally familiar with Xianghe Zhai's membership system.
Xianghezhai has five levels of membership: junior, intermediate, senior, platinum, and supreme, which correspond to different purchasing abilities - and they are real purchasing abilities.
As long as you have purchased something at the counter on the first floor of Xianghezhai, you will automatically become a junior member of Xianghezhai, and you will enjoy a slight discount when you purchase things at the counter of Xianghezhai in the future.
However, only those who have participated in the auction and the transaction volume reaches the corresponding amount can obtain the intermediate and above level membership.
The more senior members are, the more considerate services and preferential discounts they will enjoy.
Take the senior membership that Qu Wuming currently holds as an example. Only those whose highest single transaction price exceeds 200,000 high-level spiritual stones when participating in the auction at Xianghezhai are eligible to become senior members.
Once you become a senior member, you can not only get timely information about the items that will be auctioned in Xianghe Zhai in various places through the member jade plaque every year, but also ensure that you will not miss what you want. If you usually buy treasures at the non-auction counter of Xianghe Zhai
, talismans, and refining materials, you can also enjoy a 20% discount on the listed price. In addition, you can also entrust Xianghezhai to find the treasures you want for free, or publish treasure-seeking information to other members.
As for platinum and supreme memberships, you can enjoy more benefits and services. Of course, the threshold for obtaining qualifications will also be higher. At least, for the previous Qu Wuming, among these two levels of membership,
, the platinum level may be able to get one with "a little" effort for hundreds of years, but the supreme level is simply unattainable and unattainable.
Without him, the supreme level membership requires a cumulative or single participation in the auction at Xianghezhai, reaching an astonishing 10 million high-level spiritual stones!
You know, Qu Wuming's pocket was only two to three hundred thousand when he was the richest before.
Of course, this is not the only way to become a supreme member.
Another way is to take the initiative to apply for a supreme membership jade card at Xianghezhai.
The cost of this method is also relatively low - you only need to deposit 1 million high-level spiritual stones in Xianghezhai to purchase one.
Of course, such supreme membership also has limitations.
Unlike supreme members whose transaction volume has reached over 10 million high-level spiritual stones, as long as both parties exist in the world, they can enjoy membership for free and indefinitely. Moreover, this kind of membership jade medal is not limited to those who specifically participate in the auction.
User - Because quite a few supreme-level memberships belong to various sects and big family forces, it may not necessarily be a specific person who comes to participate in the auction with a jade card every time.
As for the supreme membership obtained by pre-depositing spiritual stones, the membership is only valid for ten years. If you want to renew your membership after ten years, you need to pay another 10,000 high-level spiritual stones to renew for another ten years.
During the period of membership, the pre-stored one million high-level spiritual stones cannot be withdrawn, the membership cannot be canceled voluntarily, and the member's jade token can only be used by the person himself and cannot be lent to others. The equivalent of this one million high-level spiritual stones must be in
Xianghezhai will keep it in his hands for at least ten years!
However, apart from this restriction, there is no difference between the two supreme memberships in terms of the various benefits and discounts they enjoy.
"Are there any other requirements?" Qu Wuming asked next.
"No more." The steward shook his head.
"If that's the case, then I'll get a Supreme Membership Jade Tag." Qu Wuming thought about it for a while, but still felt that this auction was about how to save one's life in the underworld and should not be missed, so he had to grit his teeth secretly and said.
The manager didn't know what Qu Wuming was thinking. When he heard Qu Wuming opened his mouth and said that he wanted to get a Supreme Member Jade Card now, he suddenly became more enthusiastic. He nodded and bowed quickly and led Qu Wuming to a small teleporter at the back of the first floor.
Near the formation, he raised his hand to activate the teleportation formation and said: "Senior, please follow me. I will take you to the VIP floor on the fourth floor to complete the formalities."
"Yes." Qu Wuming nodded and followed the steward into the teleportation array. After a flash of light, he had arrived at the fourth floor of Xianghe Zhai.
Xianghezhai all over the country have similar settings. No matter how many floors the building is, the top two floors are always for senior members and above. Even the auctions of truly top-notch treasures will only be held on the top floor of Xianghezhai.
The steward led Qu Wuming to a luxuriously decorated room on the fourth floor. After explaining his purpose to the beautiful woman waiting behind a long rosewood table, the woman quickly stood up and bowed to Qu Wuming.
, turned around and walked around the screen behind him and hurriedly left through the back door.
Qu Wuming sat at the table, with a cup of fairy tea exuding a faint fragrance that the steward had just served in front of him. After only waiting for a moment, a long-bearded old man wearing a purple and gold Taoist robe stepped out.
The old man with a long beard came to the other side of the long table, smiled and said to Qu Wuming, "I am the owner of the Xianghe Zhai Xueyucheng branch, Feng Shiyu, and I have met Taoist friends! I don't know what you call friends?"
Qu Wuming hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy: "I've met Shopkeeper Feng! I'm Wu Qu."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wu, whom I have admired for a long time! Please sit down, please! I heard that Fellow Daoist Wu wants to apply for a supreme membership?" Feng Shiyu sat down and asked with a smile.
"That's right. I heard that you need to be a Supreme Member to participate in tonight's auction, so I came to go through the formalities." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "I wonder if you will all receive the spirit stones directly, or you can also discount other treasures.
?”
Feng Shiyu was not surprised when he heard this.
After all, not all cultivators carry a large amount of high-level spiritual stones with them at all times. People who don't have enough spiritual stones often bring out other treasures to offset the price.
"If you don't have enough spiritual stones on your body, you can naturally use other treasures to offset the price. Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that if you use treasures to offset the price, our professional treasure appraisers from Xianghezhai will evaluate it, and we will not treat you badly."
.”
"In that case, then Taoist fellow Taoist Lao Feng should ask the treasure appraiser to come over! I really have some things in my hand that I don't need."
"Okay, fellow Taoist, please wait a moment." The woman behind Feng Shiyu's looking back nodded slightly. The woman turned around and left, and after a while she brought an old man over.
"This is the chief treasure appraiser of our branch, Wang Gang." Feng Shiyu introduced, "If Taoist friends have treasures that they want to use as spiritual stones, they can give them to Master Wang Gang for appraisal. After the appraisal, if
If the Taoist friend feels that the price is right, the transaction can be concluded. However, when applying for a supreme membership, the amount of treasure deduction cannot exceed 500,000 spiritual stones, so please pay attention to the Taoist friend."
"Okay, no problem." After saying that, Qu Wuming took off a storage ring and handed it to Master Wang Gang beside him, "Thank you!"
Wang Gang took the storage ring, nodded with a smile, and invaded it with the power of his spiritual consciousness. He couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Why are there so many things?..."
"Well, it's a bit complicated. Thank you, fellow Taoist." Qu Wuming naturally knew what was in his storage ring - dozens of jade slips from Qiu Shangjian, and more than seven hundred pieces.
Various magic weapons obtained from those evil men who have robbed them for many years - although they are all magic weapons, their quality is average. Basically, they are all treasures suitable for those who practice Taoism in the Dan Formation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage.
Wang Gang's power of spiritual consciousness swept through the magic weapons and jade slips one by one, and it took him a full stick of incense to finally check everything inside.
"How?" Feng Shiyu asked.
Master Wang Gang seemed a little embarrassed and said: "There are basically third-level to fifth-level magic weapons inside. Although there are many, but... the value of the magic weapons is probably around 80,000 spiritual stones, and those in the jade slips are quite valuable.
There are many rare techniques, the total price is estimated to be around 70,000 spirit stones, and the items here can be discounted to 150,000 high-level spirit stones. No more."
After saying that, Wang Gang first looked at Feng Shiyu, and then his eyes fell on Qu Wuming's face.
In fact, if you want to use spiritual stones to buy these treasures in the storage ring one by one, 2,780,000 yuan may not be enough. But if you put them in the auction house to buy them, the price given will be higher than normal.
The retail price is much lower. For no other reason, the auction house purchases it just to sell it at a higher price, so it will naturally lower the price during the purchase in order to achieve greater profit margins.
When Wang just reported this price, he was just thinking about how many times Qu Wuming would ask for a higher price. Unexpectedly, his eyes just fell on Qu Wuming's face, and Qu Wuming nodded happily and said: "One hundred and fifty thousand is one hundred and fifty thousand."
.make a deal!"
Master Wang Gang was stunned and swallowed the words he had prepared a long time ago. He secretly thought to himself that this person is not a stickler? How could he sell it so cheaply?
But how did he know that these things were as worthless in Qu Wuming's hands——
First of all, the grade is too low, so it is not qualified to be placed in the Zifu space, and it takes up too much space in the storage ring.
Secondly, the material used was so poor that even if it was given to Qu Siqiu to be refined and devoured, she would still look down upon it.
Thirdly, if I were to sell them one by one, I'm afraid it would take a lot of time and the gain would outweigh the loss.
Now that he had the opportunity to package it up and send it to the auction house, Qu Wuming naturally didn't bother to waste any time on it.
However, there is still a long way to go between 150,000 high-level spiritual stones and 500,000. Qu Wuming naturally does not want to hand over a large number of spiritual stones to Xianghe Zhai in vain.
After thinking for a while, a white light suddenly flashed between Qu Wuming's brows, and ten highly spiritual and high-grade magic weapons flew out.
As soon as these ten treasures appeared, Master Feng Shiyu and Wang Gang beside them were so shocked that they couldn't help but stand up, and their eyes towards Qu Wuming became very different.
It's not because of how amazing these high-grade magic weapons are, but because of the place where these magic weapons fly out!
There is a Purple Mansion space between the eyebrows where treasures can be stored. That is one of the signs of a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage!
The cultivators in the Void Refining Stage, no matter which sect they are placed in, are all old monsters at the level of Supreme Elder. They may be in a high position or have a wide circle of friends. They can make people tremble within a radius of dozens of miles just by stamping their feet.
generation!
Even Xianghe Zhai would not offend such a person easily.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Wu is actually a person in the Void Refining Stage. It's really disrespectful. How disrespectful!" Feng Shiyu said with a smile and cupped his hands again. Just now he also used the power of his spiritual consciousness to check Qu Wuming's cultivation, but there seemed to be something about him.
The treasure was shielded from detection, but it was difficult to judge its cultivation for a while. At this moment, seeing Qu Wuming showing the existence of the Zifu space, he glanced at Wang Gang with the corner of his eye.
And how could Master Wang Gang who was on the side not know what Feng Shiyu meant?
Even if Feng Shiyu didn't signal him, he would still do something.
At this moment, Master Wang Gang no longer had the calmness he had just now, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead - he was just a Taoist in the late Nascent Soul stage, but he actually gave a severe blow to a senior in the Void Refining stage after appraising the treasure just now.
One knife! If the other person has a good temper and doesn't care about it, just give it up. If he is someone who cares about everything, he will retaliate... This chapter has been completed!
