It is human instinct to maximize profits. Whether they are businessmen, ordinary people or monks, they all instinctively want to replace things that are of no use to them with items that are most useful to them.
That’s what auctions are for.
Regular auctions will use a unified currency, that is, they will be traded in spiritual stones. Just like modern auctions, you only need to give money, and I don’t want other things.
In the world of cultivation, there are also some less formal auctions that focus on barter.
Fangshi is what the monks call the market. In the eyes of the monks, there is not much difference between the fongshi and the market. What is different from ordinary markets is that the tradition of barter is still maintained here.
For monks, spiritual stones are certainly precious, but items that are helpful to them are even more precious. Therefore, bartering is not excluded at the stalls in the market.
In order to allow everyone to practice better, barter auctions also appeared. There was not much support behind this kind of auction, but some casual cultivators organized it themselves.
In the beginning, a few people gathered together to exchange things that they could not use for other people's things that were useful to them. Later, this tradition was carried forward and became a common practice.
In the market of Shaoyang City, there is such a convention - a trading auction every five years.
Lin Heng came to the street where it was written "No entry for idlers." A flash of green light flashed in his eyes. The four words "No entry for idlers" on the sign were immediately replaced by the four characters "Monks, please come in." He knew that this was where Fangshi was located.
After exhaling, Lin Heng leisurely crossed the restriction placed at the entrance of the street and entered the street.
Outside the ban, ordinary people will see that this street is a condensation. The surrounding houses are ordinary residential buildings, and there are no people on the street. But when you cross the ban and walk inside, you will find that the houses on both sides are shops, and the streets
There were also people coming and going, so it was very lively.
Just now, Lin Heng had already gone to the Zhenxuan Sect's office here. Knowing that there was an auction held every five years in the city these days, he rushed over immediately.
The auctions held by casual cultivators are different from those formal auctions. Those formal auctions will send out invitations before the start of the auction, inviting some famous and wealthy monks to go. Most people are unable to enter the auction because they
There's not a lot of money. As for the auction here, as long as you catch up, you can come and go at will without any invitation.
And compared to auctions with many rules, such as auctions, the auctions here are also much looser.
Lin Heng has learned about the itinerary of the auction and knows that the auction will be held for seven days. The first three days are the time for people to gather and register the transaction items. The person in charge of the registration is a casual cultivator who often comes in and out here. They will record the auction.
Everything. At the end of the day, I received a large sum of money, which was regarded as a reward.
The next three days are the time for the registered disciples to sort out their things and record the roster. The last day is when the auction begins.
Here, anyone who has something can register it with those people and write down what they want to exchange. If you want spiritual stones, you must also mark it clearly. When the auction starts, everyone will follow the roster in their hands.
, find the owner of the item to exchange. If by the afternoon, you have not found what you need, or the item has not been exchanged, you can apply for a joint auction and let everyone check your items to see who brings out the items that satisfy you to achieve the final goal.
exchange.
Although this kind of auction seems to be a lot more complicated, it makes everyone very satisfied. Everyone comes here to find what they need. If everything is directly bid, the highest bidder will definitely win, and some will be worthless.
It is definitely difficult for people with money to buy what they need. But now, the owner marks what he wants, and as long as you have it, you can exchange it for your favorite item, saving you the opportunity to compete with others and waste money.
By doing this, it seems that the owner has lost something, but you have to understand that since they have marked what they want, it means that this thing is the most helpful to you now. Therefore, the owner will not suffer at all.
Walking on the street, Lin Heng looked at the neat shops around him and couldn't help but laugh. The markets in this city are much more formal than Sanyuan Valley in Zhenxuanmen, and everyone doesn't have to be crowded together.
"Xuanmiao Pavilion. All kinds of rare treasures, choose at will! This introduction is too vague..." Looking at the small shop in front of him, Lin Heng was a little curious. The shop in front, no matter what shop it is, will roughly mark him.
There are some things, and a rare treasure came directly from Xuanmiao Pavilion, which was really weird. Moreover, there were a lot of people coming in and out of this store, which made Lin Heng curious about what kind of rare treasures there were in the store.
He thought for a moment and walked in.
Xuanmiao Pavilion is not big, just an ordinary shop with a hall, three counters around it, and a small wooden shelf at the entrance, with the store's roster on the wooden shelf.
Lin Heng picked up a roster and flipped through it, and found that the Xuanmiao Pavilion was really wonderful. The book said that the items in the Xuanmiao Pavilion were all rare treasures, but these rare treasures were in quotation marks.
, because the owner is not sure what this thing is. He just said that this thing has its own peculiarities, but he doesn’t know what it is specifically.
Look at the black stone on the roster. It explains the characteristics of this black stone. It is hard. It is very hard. Even with a cultivation level in the foundation building stage, it cannot be destroyed even with a full blow using a magic weapon.
This thing looks like a good thing at first glance. Maybe you don’t know its name and use, but how can a stone that can withstand a full blow during the foundation building stage be ordinary?
But, wouldn’t the owner be afraid of suffering a loss if he took this thing out for sale?
Lin Heng was a little strange, but he quickly found the answer from the crowd of people buying things. The things sold here are not traded with spiritual stones, but in exchange for things. To put it bluntly, the shopkeeper is using these things that he can’t understand, so for the time being, he
Use your useless things in exchange for items that are useful for your current practice to speed up your practice. In this way, you can't say who loses and who gains, because the person who buys things wants the future, and the boss wants the present.
"This boss is quite shrewd!" Lin Heng couldn't help but admire. In his opinion, the boss is destined to be worthy. In the world of cultivation, there is never a shortage of geniuses and treasures, but most of the really good things are found in those high-level people.
In the hands of a high-level monk, even if you occasionally get some treasures, it is useless if you don't have advanced cultivation. This is the case with the boss. He collects some treasures that are useless to him and exchanges them for things that improve his cultivation. It seems like a loss, but it is a huge loss.
It's profitable. Because cultivation is the most important thing to a monk.
"It's just, how did this boss get these things?"
Lin Heng had some doubts in his heart, but everyone had their own secrets, and it was hard for Lin Heng to guess. He took the roster, looked through it carefully, and soon found several items that interested him, one of which was
The second black stone is a piece of lightning strike wood. This lightning strike wood is not big, only the size of a human thumb. But according to the list, this lightning strike wood is very strong, and it also has extremely powerful lightning power. It is used to refine thunder and lightning magic weapons.
Good material, but it was too small, so the boss took it out for sale.
The third item that Lin Heng values is a jade bottle. This is a jade bottle, or a bottle that looks very much like a jade bottle. It looks like a jade bottle, but the material is completely different. It is very strong, and the boss also
I can't tell what special features it has, but such a sturdy jade bottle is very extraordinary, so I put it on display.
Lin Heng didn't see the actual object, so he naturally didn't know what the jade bottle was, but after looking at its brief introduction, he knew that this thing might be a treasure, which was better than other things.
After he selected the items, he came to the disciple in charge and stated that he wanted to buy these three things. The disciple immediately informed the boss. Seeing that it was a big business, the boss personally welcomed Lin Heng into the back hall.
"Brother, I have sold the black stone. Now there are only these two left. I wonder if you still want it?" The boss took out the lightning strike wood and the jade bottle, bowed in front of Lin Heng, and said carefully.
Lin Heng nodded and said, "Of course. But I want to see something first."
The boss nodded and indicated that Lin Heng could test it. He first picked up the lightning strike wood and found several talismans on it. He knew that these were to suppress the lightning power in the lightning strike wood. He asked the boss: "Brother, can you put some talismans on it?"
Get the talisman?"
"Of course, it's just that the power of lightning in this lightning strike tree should not be underestimated. Brother, please be careful." The boss reminded, Lin Heng didn't take it seriously at first, but as soon as he took the talisman, he felt the thunder strike tree in his hand.
A huge thunder and lightning force came, which shocked him so much that he dropped the lightning log to the ground. He smiled and carefully picked up the lightning log.
This lightning strike wood is not big, but I don’t know what the wood is made of. It feels very hard, and the lightning power in it is also a bit too strong. However, compared with the black stone Lin Heng once obtained, the lightning energy of this lightning strike wood does not have much impact on spiritual consciousness.
Big damage.
"Looking at the charred marks on this wood, it shouldn't be too old. It's normal that it can't be compared with the black stone. I just don't know if it will have the power of the black stone after it is conceived."
Lin Heng hesitated for a moment and then decided to buy it. The thunder-cutting sword he refined in his previous life was quite powerful. Now that he has encountered this lightning-strike wood in this life, he naturally wants to cultivate it well so that he can refine it by then.
Another thunder-cutting sword will be produced, and there are not many good materials in this world. If you add them, the new thunder-cutting sword will definitely be more powerful.
After sealing the lightning strike wood again, Lin Heng picked up the jade bottle again. He looked at it and found that he couldn't tell the material of this thing. Lin Heng knew a lot of things, but he couldn't say that he knew everything. This jade bottle
This is the case with the bottle. From the outside, it seems to be no different from an ordinary jade bottle, but once you feel it, you will find that this thing is definitely not made of jade, especially the strength, which surprised Lin Heng.
After thinking about it, Lin Heng also decided to buy it and go back to let his master take a look.
He put down his things, raised his head and asked the boss: "Brother, I wonder what you plan to exchange these two things for?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
