After leaving the Deacon Hall, Shen Mo did not return to the cave immediately.
Instead, we went down the mountain and visited Jiyun Town and Fang City.
According to the rules of the auction, not everyone can enter.
If you want to participate in the auction, you need an invitation letter to enter.
As for these invitations, Fangshi will make some and distribute them to senior monks and regular customers who often come to Fangshi.
The remaining invitations will be sold in the market.
If you are interested in participating, monks can purchase an invitation letter at Fangshi.
"Ten spiritual stones."
Shen Mo came to Jiyun Town and Fang City, and got an invitation letter from the guard.
The asking price for this invitation letter is not high, and the market does not rely on this to make money.
The real money comes from commissions at auctions.
The reason for setting up a threshold is mainly to screen out the truly capable monks to participate.
Ten spiritual stones, more or less.
For monks who have the financial resources to bid at the auction, it is just a small fee.
But for low-level monks who are short of money, it is a lot of money.
At this moment, Shen Mo will naturally not find it too expensive.
After all, he has more than 1,500 spiritual stones in his pocket.
"On July 15th, at midnight, in the middle of the market, the auction will start as scheduled."
"There are still ten days left. If guests want to take some treasures, they have to take advantage of this time to raise more funds."
After taking the spirit stone handed over by Shen Mo, the city guard gave him the invitation letter and said something by the way.
"Okay, I've written it down."
Shen Mo nodded, put the invitation letter into the Qiankun bag, and returned to the sect with his sword.
.........
Ten days are fleeting.
In the past ten days, Shen Mo worked hard to refine elixirs and make talismans, and finally went to Zongmenfang City to sell them for money to prepare for the upcoming auction.
"Eighteen hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"
After counting the spiritual stones in the Qiankun bag, Shen Mo had a hint of excitement on his face.
These spiritual stones were what he would use to obtain the Divine Iron at the auction.
"The Divine Iron of Heaven is a high-level spiritual mine. It is usually needed to forge high-grade Xuan-level magic weapons. Its value should not be inferior to the Taixuan gold stone I brought from the mountains and rivers."
The Taixuan gold stone is a top-grade casting mineral material with one hundred low-grade spiritual stones per pound.
Shen Mo didn't know the weight of the Divine Iron at the auction.
If it is within ten kilograms, the spiritual stones he prepared should be enough to win even if someone fights for them.
If...it exceeds the scope of ten kilograms, Shen Mo's financial resources may not be enough.
"Go and take a look first before talking!"
He put on a specially prepared black robe and covered his face with a special mask. Then he stepped on the Dragon Bird Sword and rushed to Jiyun Townfang City in the dark of night.
On weekdays, in Jiyun Town and Fang City, a curfew will be implemented at night.
But today, it was particularly lively because of an auction.
Not only the monks from all walks of life who came and went to participate in the auction, but also the vendors who set up stalls received extra-judicial mercy and were allowed to have more time to set up stalls tonight.
Therefore, not only the center of the city is bustling, but all the alleys are also brightly lit and bustling with people.
Overcoming the crowd, Shen Mo walked straight and arrived at the central square that the city manager had given him.
In front of the high pavilion here, there are four guardians with strong aura.
Anyone who wants to travel with us and enter must submit an invitation letter and verify their qualifications.
When Shen Mo arrived, the entrance was already full of people.
Apparently there are quite a few monks who came to participate in the auction.
Moreover, the breath of each one is not weak.
While Shen Mo was queuing up, he sensed these breaths with his spiritual consciousness.
Even the weakest person is basically at the level of the first level of Qi Gathering Realm.
If you are a strong person, it is not uncommon for monks to have a perfect level of Qi gathering.
There were even a few auras, vast and long, and Shen Mo speculated that they might be masters who had advanced to the spiritual sea realm.
"It's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
A smile appeared on Shen Mo's face and he sighed.
Even within Linjiang Sect, it is rare to encounter so many high-level monks.
It seems that the auction is indeed extremely popular.
........
After entering, Shen Mo walked straight through the passage and soon arrived at the cabinet area.
Inside the auction, there is a vast space and a wide area. Even if it can accommodate thousands of people, it will not appear crowded.
The seating area is divided into three areas.
The first area is the highest, overlooking the entire venue, and the location is excellent.
The second area is the front row area, which is also a good location.
But the first two areas with good locations obviously require some special connections or a very valuable invitation to sit here.
A monk like Shen Mo, who bought it with ten spirit stones and came uninvited, obviously can only sit in the third area.
That is the position in the middle of the auction row.
This area has relatively poor visibility and is also the most crowded.
But Shen Mo didn't care about the seat allocation. He was here to buy goods.
I’m not here to enjoy life.
Since the beginning of time travel, he has been at the bottom of the world of immortality and has basically no pampering habits.
You won’t feel uncomfortable because of the bad seats.
"Normally I don't see many high-level monks, but now I see that there are quite a few strong casual cultivators in the world of immortality."
After finding his place in the middle section, Shen Mo took his seat and took advantage of the fact that the auction had not yet started, and began to look around.
There are more than a thousand seats in the auction venue.
The seats were almost full with people present.
It can be seen that this auction attracted many monks from all over the world.
"What's the next charter?"
After glancing around, he withdrew his gaze and stared at the auction table in front of him, quite expectantly.
This is the first time in his life that he has participated in an auction in the world of immortality.
For this kind of occasion, he has only seen it in novels in his past life.
Therefore, we pay special attention and make sufficient preparations.
Wear a mask and a black robe to prevent others from recognizing him.
After arriving at the scene, Shen Mo did not expect that his dress did not look unique.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
Because besides him, many monks also wear black robes, some wear hats and veils, and some have special techniques to change their faces.
In this auction, concealing one's identity has become standard.
Of course, except for half of the people who specifically conceal their identities, there are also many people who do not engage in such disguise and cover-up.
Among these people, there are Tiehanhan who are not smart enough and have no sense of crisis, and there are also monks who are just here to join in the fun and have no intention of taking pictures. They just want to gain experience and are not afraid of conflicts with others.
Others, on the other hand, believe that they are strong enough and don’t even bother to pretend.
Shen Mo noticed that the monks with the strongest auras in the field, who were suspected of being in the spiritual sea realm, did not pretend or cover up.
"Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming to support me and participating in the auction set up by Jiyun Town Fangshi."
All the monks attending the meeting had already entered the venue, and soon after everyone took their seats, the monk specifically responsible for hosting the auction stood in front of the auction table.
He has obviously practiced some secret method of sound transmission.
The voice is not high, but it can easily reach the ears of thousands of people present, just like whispering in the ears.
"This year, we have collected a lot of good treasures in the market. I believe that when the auction items are presented one by one, we will not disappoint all the Taoist friends who have come from afar!"
The presiding monk in gray robe smiled and gave a rough opening speech.
Apart from some pleasantries and old-fashioned greetings, it is mainly about some rules that monks need to abide by during the auction.
For example, false auctions are not allowed.
If you want to raise a sign to bid, you must have enough spirit stones on you.
Otherwise, if you don’t have enough spirit stones to pay when you take the photo in front of you and pick up the goods, you will have broken the rules.
In addition, each round of bidding must exceed at least ten spirit stones.
In addition, no fighting is allowed in the auction venue.
Even if you have a blood feud to kill your biological father right in front of you, you cannot do it here, otherwise it will be against the law.
There are many more that are commonplace and nothing new.
Regarding the rules listed above, if someone breaks the rules and violates the forbidden laws, they will be punished by the city managers.
