No matter where they are, monks in the late Jindan period are the focus of care. After seeing Qingyang, the people at the auction did not dare to neglect, and a woman took the initiative to greet her. This woman looked very young and delicate in appearance.
Although he is in the early Qi stage, he looks a bit shrewd. He should be responsible for receiving and serving high-level monks.
The woman came to Qingyang, bowed respectfully, and then said: "My little girl Ji Ming has met the senior. Did the senior come to participate in the recent auction?"
"Exactly!" Qingyang nodded.
After hearing Qingyang's confirmation, the woman Ji Ming pointed forward and said: "Senior, please follow me."
Then the woman Ji Ming led Qingyang into the auction. After entering the gate, the two of them first came to a registration place. While helping Qingyang register, Ji Ming said: "Senior, please forgive me.
According to the requirements of the auction, in order to ensure that the auctioned items can be traded smoothly, all monks participating in the auction need to pay a deposit of three thousand hell stones. You see..."
Qingyang understood what the other party meant. The purpose of charging a deposit was to prevent some people from malicious competition. During the auction, they raised the price and bought things but ended up not wanting them. Three thousand underworld stones are not too much for high-level monks, but for those in the foundation building period and
A monk below the level of Foundation Establishment is a huge fortune, so this is also an auction with a threshold, and not everyone can participate.
After Qingyang took out three thousand underworld stones and handed them to the person in charge of registration, Ji Ming received a sign from the person who registered, and then the two of them continued to walk in. Qingyang didn't feel it clearly outside before, but he realized it after he came in.
, this auction is really not that big.
The entire auction site covers an area of at least several hundred acres and is more than ten feet high. On one side is a huge platform on which the auction is held. Behind it are rows of seats, each seat is spaced
There was about a foot, and there was a simple separation between them. I could only vaguely see figures around me, but I couldn't see who it was, and I couldn't hear other people talking.
The auction house also has a second floor, with the middle suspended in the air, revealing the auction platform below. There are VIP private rooms on three sides against the wall, connected by corridors in front. The settings of these private rooms are much more luxurious than the temporary seats below, with tables, chairs, beds and beds.
There are a lot of them, spiritual tea and incense are all available, and there are also restrictions outside to isolate spiritual thoughts and prying eyes. Just sitting in the room, you can see the auction platform below, with a wide field of vision, which will not affect your participation in the auction at all.
Of course, there are good and bad locations on the second floor. The location facing the auction platform is the best. It is generally reserved for important figures in Chujiang City and Yuanying monks. The closer to the middle, the higher the status. People like Qingyang
Such late-stage Jindan monks with no background can only be assigned to rooms on both sides of the second floor. As for the middle-stage Jindan monks and below, they are not even qualified to go upstairs.
Ji Ming and Qingyang came to the second floor together, and then led Qingyang to the corresponding room according to the number on the sign in his hand. After that, Ji Ming did not leave, but stayed in the room. During this auction
Before the end, her only mission was to serve Qingyang well.
There are many women like her in the auction. They are attached to the auction and serve the guests who attend the auction. They are usually not paid and rely entirely on the rewards from customers to make a living.
The status of these maids is very low, with almost no dignity. They just do it when they meet easy-to-talk customers. If they meet those difficult ones, not only will they not be paid a penny, but they will also be beaten, scolded, insulted, and even sold out for sex. In the end, the income will be low.
Half of the pitiful reward should be given to the auction, because the auction provides a platform, otherwise there would not even be this opportunity to earn spiritual stones.
Qingyang also cultivated from the lowest level bit by bit. He knew how difficult it was for low-level monks to cultivate. It would be better if he could find someone from the sect as a backer. Those low-level casual cultivators rarely had a way to earn spiritual stones. They often fought for a piece of spiritual stone.
To obtain a spiritual stone or an elixir, you have to risk your life to fight for it. Male casual cultivators rely on hard work and hard work, and female casual cultivators rely on selling their looks or finding a good Taoist partner. However, there are very few who can survive in the end. In this way
There were so many people there that even Qingyang couldn't help but pity them.
Qingyang is a gentleman, and naturally he will not do things like beating, insulting, or asking the other party to betray her. Of course, he will not treat her specially just because he sympathizes with the other party. Ji Ming has adapted to this kind of life, Qingyang
If you are too polite, you will scare the other party. If you feel that the other party's service is good, you can at most reward a few more spiritual stones when leaving.
The auction hadn't started yet. Qingyang was sitting in the room with his eyes closed and concentrating. Ji Ming stood quietly at the door, not daring to disturb Qingyang. The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, but Ji Ming seemed to feel it too.
Qingyang is not a difficult person to take care of, but he is not that difficult.
As time goes by, more and more people come to participate in the auction. In less than two hours, less than 10% of the seats below have been occupied. About half of them are monks in the early and middle stages of Jindan, and the rest are all
He is a monk in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and there is no one with lower cultivation level.
When Qingyang passed by those seats before, he counted them carefully. There were at least more than 3,000 seats below. Including the rooms on the second floor, the number of Jindan monks participating in the auction alone was nearly 2,000. From this
It can be seen how influential this auction is.
Qingyang once inquired about the fact that the city lord of Chujiang City was behind this auction. Not only did he have a profound knowledge, but he also had a strong background. No one in Chujiang City dared to provoke him, and no one dared to cause trouble here. The auction was held twice a year, and the business was very high.
It's Xinglong. Chujiang City's influence extends to hundreds of thousands of miles around. Those who come here to participate in the auction are not only Chujiang City monks, but also sects and casual cultivators within the surrounding radiation range. It seems that two thousand Jindan monks are not included.
many.
At this time, a group of people suddenly walked in outside the auction. Because there was a lot of movement when they came in, Qingyang couldn't help but open his eyes. Walking in front was an old man with red hair, walking with wind, holding his head high, and showing an extraordinary momentum.
, followed by several Jindan monks, one of whom Qingyang knew, was the goatee who told him about the auction of the weapon refining quota before. Judging from the way he followed, could it be that the old man in front was Zhenjun Chiye?
?
Sure enough, Ji Ming next to him saw that Qingyang seemed to be very interested in the people outside, so he took the initiative to introduce him: "Senior, the person who came in just now is the famous Chi Ye Zhenjun in Chujiang City. This person is extremely skilled in weapon refining.
Even the city lord has to come to the door in person to make weapons."
"I heard that there will be an auction for Zhenjun Chiye's weapon refining quota this time?" Qingyang asked.
