This is Zhou Yang’s true feelings after shopping on the flying giant ship.
People who don't like shopping have a thousand reasons why they don't like shopping, but the most important reason is definitely that they haven't encountered something that makes them have a strong intention to buy, or they have financial problems.
As for the treasures in the various shops in the flying giant ship, Zhou Yang believed that no immortal cultivator would not be interested in them.
There are all kinds of rare treasures that are common in the world of immortality in Donghua Continent, and even rare treasures from overseas such as the "Lingxi Jade Pendant". For the monks in the inland Liuyun Continent of the world of immortality, as well as people like Zhou Yang,
For monks in the world of immortality in the boundless sand sea, the attraction should not be too great.
Even if you don’t buy or can’t afford those treasures, just having an eye-opening experience and increasing your knowledge is a thing that is of great benefit to your spiritual practice.
If it weren't for the Taoist couple Xiao Ying who was in seclusion to attack the eighth floor of the foundation building, and the flying giant ship would stay in Xianyang City for another year, Zhou Yang would have immediately sent a message with flying sword to invite the Taoist couple to go shopping with them.
And the more shops he visited and the more he talked with the shop assistants, he gradually came to know that almost every shop in this giant flying ship represented a force in the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent.
.
The so-called "Donghua United Merchant Group", as its name implies, is jointly formed by more than one-third of the major sects and families in Donghua Continent.
It is precisely because there are so many big forces investing in it that all kinds of treasures can be gathered in the flying giant ship, and it can attract countless monks from the immortal world of Liuyun Continent to come here for shopping and trading.
Zhou Yang also knew that the treasures brought out by various shops now were definitely not the most precious things they brought this time.
Those real treasures should wait until the flying giant ship arrives at "Flowing Cloud Immortal City" before they are actually traded with others.
"Liuyun Immortal City" is the real holy land of cultivation in the Liuyun Continent's immortal world. It is a fairyland on earth built by the true immortals during the Tribulation Period. It is the most prosperous and rich place in the Liuyun Continent's immortal world.
Zhou Yang came to Liuyunzhou to visit the Immortal Realm this time, and he had already made plans to make it the last stop of his trip.
After spending nearly a day browsing all the shops, he reluctantly left this floor and went through a teleportation door to the third floor of the spacecraft where the auction house was located.
The space on this third floor is nearly half smaller than the one below. The deepest part is a semicircular auction booth, and the rest of the space is for people to stand.
According to the trading rules, anyone who comes to this floor can bid on the items being auctioned on the auction stage.
But if you shout out, you have to be responsible. Once you bid and successfully win the treasure, you must pay for the treasure. If you shout out the price randomly, the auction house will arrest you directly!
When Zhou Yang arrived here, the first day's auction had passed, and the next day's auction was still being prepared. Many monks from the immortal world of Liuyun Continent were at the front desk handing over treasures to the treasure appraisers at the auction house.
.
Seeing this scene, he thought about it and walked over to queue up.
While queuing up, Zhou Yang also looked at the bidding rules on a public notice board next to him.
According to the rules mentioned above, if you send a treasure to be auctioned at this auction house, no matter what the final transaction price is, the auction house will only charge a fixed half-percent handling fee. At the same time, the treasure sent for auction must be a fourth-level treasure or above.
Only a fixed half-percent handling fee is charged, which is undoubtedly much cheaper than the Xianyang City auction that Zhou Yang once participated in.
But if you think about it carefully, there are actually many articles involved in this charge.
First of all, as an outsider, if the "Donghua United Merchant Group" charges higher fees than Xuanyang Pavilion, which has a good reputation in the local area, or is the same, it will definitely be difficult to attract the monks from Liuyunzhou's immortal world to hand over the treasures to them for auction.
Secondly, they hold this auction every day and charge a half-percent handling fee, which not only brings them a large number of treasures that can be auctioned to increase their popularity, but also allows them to earn more handling fees with small profits but quick turnover.
Third, because many of the treasures in the shops on the lower floor only accept barter exchanges, many monks are unable to purchase valuable treasures even if they hold millions of spiritual stones.
However, the existence of the auction provides them with a channel to turn spiritual stones into treasures, so that these people in need will be more willing to bid at a premium for certain treasures at the auction, which indirectly provides the entire "Donghua"
"United Business Group" to earn huge spiritual stone income.
To sum up, regardless of the trading rules announced by the "Donghua United Business Group", it seems that they despise such things as spiritual stones, but in fact, after a trade trip, the spiritual stones they earned are,
It’s absolutely an astronomical figure, and most of it is earned without any cost!
However, people like Zhou Yang who have seen through the truth will praise them for charging such low commissions. They will not hesitate to give them the title of "conscientious merchants" and praise them endlessly.
The real thing is that after being sold, you still have to help count the money!
"There are experts in this Donghua United Business Group! I didn't expect that in this world of immortality that advocates strength and fists, there are also such business wizards!"
Zhou Yang, who saw through all this, felt amazed in his heart.
This kind of inducing consumption method, even in his previous life, where commerce was highly developed and information was highly transparent, countless people fell into it, let alone this world of cultivating immortals where commerce is not very developed.
.
Of course, it can be thought that this kind of induced consumption method is indeed powerful, but if you want to really use it, you still need strong support. Otherwise, in this world of immortal cultivation without any laws, the immortal cultivators who have been deceived will not be able to find out.
I will admit my defeat honestly.
So this goes back to the theme of power being the most important thing in the world of immortality. No matter how wise you are and how you can make every plan, if you don’t have enough power to support it, you will end up just making wedding clothes for others!
Similarly, even if Zhou Yang has seen through everything, he still has to wait in line for others to "sell" him.
The situation was stronger than the man, and he had no choice.
After queuing like this for a while, it was finally his turn.
"There is a magic weapon here. Taoist friend will estimate the price. If the price is right, Zhou will send it for auction!"
He took out a storage bag and handed it directly to the treasure appraiser. What was contained in it was the natal magic weapon "Kun Yuan Ruler" belonging to Jiang Ming, the former Huangshamen Jindan monk.
Although this kind of natal magic weapon of the Golden Core Stage monk cannot exert its true power in the hands of others, it is still a serious fifth-level magic weapon after all.
For some newly promoted Jindan monks or ninth-level monks in the Purple Mansion who do not have a fifth-level magic weapon on hand, it is better to have such a fifth-level magic weapon than to use a fourth-level high-grade magic weapon.
"The refining materials for this fifth-level magic weapon are quite good. Unfortunately, as a natal magic weapon, after the death of its owner, the value of this item can no longer be compared with that of the fifth-level magic weapon. If you really want to consign it, fellow Taoist, please give me the following
I can give you an estimate of 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones to try!"
The treasure appraisers at the auction house are all people who have appraised countless treasures. A fifth-level magic weapon that cannot exert its full power does not shock them. This person just opened the storage bag given by Zhou Yang and took a look.
, and gave him a starting price.
"Can we only estimate 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones?"
Zhou Yang frowned, feeling quite dissatisfied.
You must know that a good fourth-level high-grade magic weapon can reach this price, let alone a fifth-level magic weapon.
However, he also knows that for places like auctions, except for particularly rare treasures, it is normal for the starting price to be several percent lower than the normal price.
By doing this, people participating in the auction can have a sense of missing out and bid enthusiastically.
Secondly, if the price is lower than the normal price, the possibility of the auction being unsold is very low. Once the treasure fails to be auctioned, not only will the auction house not be able to earn commission fees, but it will also have some impact on the reputation of the auction house.
So after pondering for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones is one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones."
He can't use this "Kun Yuan Ruler" if he keeps it in his hand. Instead of keeping it in the storage ring and gathering dust, he might as well replace it with a spiritual stone.
Immediately, he completed the bidding procedures and received the auction receipt. Zhou Yang found a place to sit down in the auction house.
One of the interesting things about this auction house is that when the auction officially starts, there will be a powerful illusion that envelopes the entire place. At that time, the consciousness of all the monks in the auction house will be pulled into the illusion, and then all auctions will be in
Proceeding in a fantasy world.
In this way, no third party will know except the people at the auction house who have bought the treasure at the auction.
After Zhou Yang waited for more than two hours, the auction officially began.
At that moment, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the auction house, and before Zhou Yang could see the origin of the thick fog, the scene in front of him changed and suddenly turned into a magnificent palace with splendor and splendor.
He cast a spell to condense a water mirror and looked in the mirror. He found that his appearance had changed from a young and handsome young man to a gentle and elegant middle-aged teacher. The aura of the Purple Mansion on his body was also inexplicably enhanced.
We arrived at the sixth floor of Zi Mansion.
Then he looked at other people and saw that among the people appearing in the hall, there was no one he had seen in the auction house before. They were all unfamiliar faces, and he couldn't tell who was behind the owner of that face.
Male is female.
Just as Zhou Yang was surveying the situation in the palace, a white light suddenly flashed in the uninhabited area in the center of the grand palace, and soon a thin old man with silver hair was revealed.
As soon as the old man appeared, he raised his hand and a table made of clouds and mist appeared in front of him, while behind Zhou Yang and others, a Taishi chair made of clouds and mist also appeared.
After doing all this, the old man bowed his hands to the astonished crowd with a smile on his face and said: "Welcome to all fellow Taoists to the Hall of Illusion. This is Lin Beihe, the auctioneer of today's auction. I would like to invite you to say something.
Friends, please take a seat, the auction will begin soon."
