Chapter 424 The style of the Lingwu Business Alliance!
Wanxuan City, as you can tell from its name, this is a city protected by Wanxuanmen.
A city protected by a fifth-grade sect is not that big in Western Chu, but it is at least several times larger than Xiling City in the three border counties.
There are hundreds of millions of people living in Wanxuan City, including several million monks.
When Zhu Yu followed Dong Chao into Wanxuan City, it really felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
In the center of Wanxuan City, a towering building soars into the sky. This is the first time Zhuyu has seen a tall building in the Chinese world.
The construction of this high-rise building is all based on the talisman array. The foundation is very solid and the momentum is magnificent. The layers of brackets and cornices make people feel majestic and awe-inspiring. It is indeed an eye-opener.
"Junior brother, this is the Lingwu Tower of Wanxuan City, owned by the Lingwu Merchant Alliance!"
Zhu Yu, the Lingwu Merchant Alliance, has heard that on the surface it is a purely commercial organization, but behind it is the famous Prince of Western Chu, so it is a business alliance in name, but in fact its power is not inferior to that of the major sects.
With branches all over Xichu, it can be said that it is rich and powerful.
"The auction of the Lingwu Merchant Alliance starts in half an hour. Fellow Taoists, please hurry up..."
At the entrance of Lingwu Tower, a welcoming disciple in red robe raised his hands and said loudly to the many monks outside who came to participate in the auction.
Dong Chao shuttled among the crowd with great skill. After a while, he led Zhu Yu to the entrance.
He took out a sign, raised it to the two disciples guarding the door, and said: "I am Dong Chao, the outside deacon of the Merchant Alliance. Please arrange a VIP room for me!"
The two gatekeepers obviously knew Dong Chao. They grinned and said, "Senior Brother Dong, you have to wait a moment. I have to make arrangements with Senior Brother Hao of Baiyumen first..."
"You're blind! You dare to cut in front of Senior Brother Hao, are you looking for death?" A harsh voice sounded behind Dong Chao and Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu turned around and saw several young men in green robes with angry faces, glaring fiercely at Dong Chao.
The leader of these people was white-faced and beardless. His expression was arrogant, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Dong Chao turned his head, suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, his eyes immediately narrowed, and he said haha: "Ouch, ouch! My old Dong is really blind. It turns out that Senior Brother Hao Xiang is here. I
Why do you feel that the pomp and circumstance is unusual!
Senior Brother Hao Xiang must be aiming at the Kirin Jade, the final treasure of the auction, this time, right? Based on your identity, this is the only thing that can catch your eye..."
Dong Chao smiled so enthusiastically and his attitude was so respectful, he was more polite than when he saw his own mother. Zhu Yu couldn't help but secretly despise him.
Zhuyu turned over his hand, and on the back of the inner disciple nameplate, Zhuyu wrote the word "Hao Xiang" on the crystal wall.
Text immediately appeared on the crystal wall: "Hao Xiang, a core disciple of the White Jade Sect, is known as the 'Crane in the Mountain'. He is a strong man in the late stage of entering the void. He is good at body and sword skills, and has the strength to challenge three rivers and four seas..."
Zhu Yu calmly put the disciple nameplate away.
At this time, Hao Xiang's expression also softened significantly.
You must know that there are many people queuing up to enter the auction. In front of so many people, he was blocked by Dong Chao before, and he must have felt humiliated.
But now, Dong Chao praised him so much, which greatly benefited him and boosted his face. How could he still be angry?
But in front of him, he still snorted coldly and said: "Who is it? It turns out to be Dong Abacus of Wanxuanmen. Forget it, I am too lazy to be familiar with you! I count you lucky this time..."
"Senior Brother Hao, there are a lot of people! I know you don't know the same as me, do you want to invite me first?" Dong Chao made a gesture of invitation.
Hao Xiang raised the corner of his mouth and walked in through the gate proudly. Several disciples behind him surrounded him, and it was indeed quite a scene.
"Bah, Hao is a scumbag, he really thinks he is a vegetable..." Dong Chao waited for Hao Xiang and his group to disappear, his face instantly became gloomy, and he said bitterly.
He turned to look at Zhu Yu and said: "Hao Xiang, we must be careful. This guy is the most narrow-minded and will retaliate. Last time, Senior Brother Wang suffered a big loss at his hands and almost lost his life!"
Zhu Yu frowned and said, "Are you talking about Senior Brother Wang Zheng?"
Among the core disciples of Wanxuan Sect, the only one with the surname Wang is Wang Zheng, a rare sword cultivator, known as the "Left Hand Sword". His cultivation is also in the late stage of entering the virtual world, ranking fifth among the core disciples.
It can be seen that Dong Chao must have done it deliberately just now. Although he is a profiteer, he is a member of Wanxuan Sect after all, and he hates Dong Chao extremely. Otherwise, with his shrewdness and all-round vision, how could he
Maybe you didn’t see Hao Xiang?
"This Dong Chao is really a worldly businessman, very wealthy..." Zhu Yu thought to himself.
After Hao Xiang and others entered, it was Dong Chao and Zhu Yu's turn. Dong Chao had the status of a deacon outside Lingwu, so he easily got a VIP room.
I think it's because Dong Chao often brings big customers to the Lingwu Merchant Alliance. It is estimated that if Zhu Yu spends a lot of money to buy something at an auction like this, Dong Chao will definitely get rewarded by the Merchant Alliance. This guy is worthy of being a mortal merchant.
, Dong Chao has been like a fish in water since he entered Wanxuan City, which can be regarded as an advantage.
After experiencing an episode at the door, Zhuyu was attracted by the grandeur and luxury of the auction house as soon as he entered the auction house.
The entire auction venue was arranged like a basketball court, with an auction table in the middle. The front, left, and right sides were filled with monks from all over the place. It was dark and crowded with people.
At first glance, there may be thousands of people.
Behind the ordinary seats, there are VIP rooms, and there are hundreds of VIP rooms.
There are huge crystal walls on three sides of the auction table. The crystal walls connect all seats in the entire auction house, as well as VIP rooms, forming a huge talisman array with extremely complete functions.
The Lingwu Business Alliance is indeed the top business alliance in Western Chu, and it is indeed rich and powerful.
The momentum of this auction house alone is not inferior to that of a fifth-grade sect, which is amazing.
Entering the VIP room, Dong Chao grinned and said with some pride: "Junior brother, are you satisfied with this room? It's not me, Dong Chao, except for a few top disciples in our sect, only I, Dong Chao, can come and get it.
Go to the VIP room. There will be a lot of good stuff later, so be sure to make your move, so don’t rush!"
Dong Chao pointed his finger outward and introduced the rules of the auction to Zhu Yu, as well as some taboos. It can be said that he took the trouble and was extremely detailed.
Zhu Yu listened very carefully, but secretly operated the Zhuxian Eye Talisman Array to observe the surrounding situation.
Eighty percent of the people who can enter this auction house are monks who have entered the void. Among them, there are at least hundreds of monks in the late stage of entering the void. There are also no less than a dozen Wanshou-level giants. It seems that Dong Chao said that today
The auction is a large-scale auction, and it should be no lie.
It was Zhuyu's first time to participate in such an auction, but he was not nervous at all.
For him, since he went deep into the secret realm of "Zhuang Mengdie", the mustard space can be partially used. He has piles of crystals, and a large number of crystals have never been found.
If there is anything that catches the eye in today's auction, Zhu Yu will definitely spend a lot of money.
For him, quickly improving his cultivation is the most important thing, and crystal stones are not a problem at all.
He is a Wanshou-level giant, and he has fought his way through the three counties. With the crystal stones and property he has accumulated, even if the Xichu monks are rich, it is estimated that it is difficult for anyone to rival him.
From this point of view, Dong Chao is really a blessed general. Min Rou, who arranged for him to live with Dong Chao, would never have thought that Zhu Yu could bring out the role of Dong Chao so easily...
"Fellow Taoists, Lingwu Merchant Alliance welcomes you all!"
On the auction stage, a young woman with outstanding charm said in a lazy voice, "This woman has a voluptuous figure, bright eyebrows, and red lips. Her every move and gesture can give people an extremely charming look. She can be called a peerless beauty."
Zhu Yu investigated her cultivation level and found that this woman was a powerful person in the late stage of virtual reality. She was really beyond appearances.
"Today's auction will be hosted by Yan'er! I hope everyone can buy the items you like at the auction!" the woman said again.
The auction started immediately, and the entire auction house gradually became quiet.
Zhu Yu also calmed down and began to pay attention to the first auction item.
The first auction item, a half-inch long piece of dead wood, dark black, was displayed on the crystal wall, and everyone was silent.
"Fellow Taoists, the first auction item today is half an inch of blue spirit wood..."
Yao Yaner's woman's voice was still lazy and very magnetic.
"boom!"
The whole auction house was instantly noisy.
Cang Lingmu? The first auction item is such a valuable treasure?
The Cang Lingmu squid is no stranger to him. He got a piece from Tang Tianhang, the Immortal of Magnolia officinalis. This kind of spiritual wood can assist monks in enlightenment. It is a tree of enlightenment and can be said to be priceless.
Zhu Yu found that he still underestimated the Lingwu Merchant Alliance. He did not expect that the Lingwu Merchant Alliance would be so generous, and the first item in the auction was such a valuable treasure.
Of course, this is also a strategy.
By igniting the passion of the entire auction house through a valuable treasure, when everyone's passion is mobilized, subsequent auction items will surely be sold at higher prices.
The starting price of Cangling Wood is as high as one million crystal stones.
But soon, 1.1 million!
1.2 million...
…
Two million!
An old voice in the VIP room decisively quoted the price of two million.
Many people turned around when they heard this voice. It was obvious that the bidder was very impressive and was a giant of longevity.
But the Wanshou giant cannot stop the temptation of Cang Lingmu to everyone.
The price of 2 million only paused for less than a second, and someone immediately quoted 2.1 million.
Then 2.2 million...
"That VIP room seems to be the 'Ghost-eating Immortal', and it seems that he is determined to get the Blue Spirit Tree!" Dong Chao whispered, his eyes gleaming with burning light, his hands kept rubbing, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.
"What a treasure! It's a pity that I can't afford it. The Blue Spirit Tree is very helpful for enlightenment! It's really...a treasure."
"Three million!"
"Who offers three million?" Dong Chao jumped up from his chair and felt that the voice was in his ears.
He suddenly turned his head and saw a quote of three million appearing on the crystal wall of his VIP room.
He stared at Zhu Yu so hard that his eyes almost popped out of his head: "Three... three million? It's you... junior brother... what are you... going to do?"
