The first thousand and sixty-eight chapters are shy
The guards of the Territory of Chaos are so awesome that even Ancestor Wanfa dares to stop them, because standing behind them is the most powerful city lord in the entire Central Alliance - Liu Meiyin.
Xiao Yao looked very polite and asked: "You two, are you asking us for the entrance fee?"
The two guards replied: "Senior, this is a rule, and we have nothing to do. Anyone without a residence permit who wants to enter the Territory of Chaos must pay an entry fee of one hundred top-quality immortal stones."
Please note that these are top-grade immortal stones. Zhan Chen was stunned by this number. One hundred top-grade immortal stones is not a small amount for an ordinary monk. It is hundreds of times the entry fee of ordinary city-states in the Central Alliance.
But Xiao Yao didn't say anything, and immediately took out two hundred top-grade immortal stones and said: "Brother Zhan, I paid for your immortal stones."
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
"It's okay. One hundred fairy stones is just a small amount of money to us. Is it necessary to calculate it so clearly?"
Zhan Chen thought about it, so he stopped being polite.
The two then entered the city and found that the Territory of Chaos was heavily guarded. It could be said that there were five steps and one post on the first floor and ten steps and one post. Towers as tall as castles stood in the city, and groups of heavily armed soldiers patrolled the streets.
The guards are all strong in the Great Perfection of Yuan Shen, and their leaders are all strong in the Ming Dharma Realm without exception.
Even so, it did not block the prosperity of this city. Looking around, you can see people walking everywhere on the broad avenue. Some of them have the lowest cultivation level of the Yuan Shen realm. Indeed, only the strong Yuan Shen can do this.
Life in this city is affordable, and the high entry fee alone can keep cultivators below the Yuanshen realm out.
After casually visiting a few shops, Zhan Chen realized what expensive is. The prices here are generally 30 to 40% higher than other cities in the Central Alliance. Some even slightly rarer things cost twice as much as in other cities.
.
Zhan Chen was thinking privately that if he could make a trip to Wanfa Continent at this time, he would definitely sell many things here and make a lot of money, so he asked Xiao Yao next to him: "Xiao Yao"
Brother, things sold here are generally more expensive than other places, so why haven’t you thought of bringing some good elixirs here to sell them and earn the difference?”
Xiao Yao smiled and said: "Brother Zhan, how could others not think of what you are thinking of? Doing a small business here may not be worth the gain. The entry fee for the one hundred top-quality immortal stones alone makes many small traders prohibitive, not to mention coming here.
There are many people doing business and the competition is fierce. If you don’t have something particularly good, you won’t be able to make money, but you will lose more than you gain because of the high cost of living and taxes.”
"Do you still have to pay taxes when doing business here?" Zhan Chen was slightly stunned.
"That's natural. Anyone who sets up a stall or shop here must first rent a temporary stall here or buy a shop. To tell you the truth, I have also sold things here, and I rented a temporary stall here.
It only cost me one hundred premium immortal stones, and the lease period is only three days, and I have to renew it after three days."
Zhan Chen exclaimed: "This is the first time I've heard that rent is charged for setting up street stalls."
"Yes, these are the rules of the Territory of Chaos. If you don't follow the rules, you will be arrested when discovered by the patrolling guards. Although the president of our council is a beautiful woman, she is also a ruthless character." Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile.
.
Zhan Chen showed eagerness to give it a try and said, "But if what you sell is in short supply, you can also make a big profit."
"Yes. If your things are easy to sell, then it is undoubtedly the best to make money in the Territory of Chaos, especially elixirs, which can be a profitable business. Unfortunately, I am not an alchemist." Xiao Yao sighed.
Zhan Chen didn't say anything, he remembered all these words.
In the next ten days, the two of them wandered around the city. Xiao Yao also took Zhan Chen to visit the South Street of the Chaos Territory, where the Glory Auction was held, the City of Glory, which was built very magnificently.
The auction venue is a cylindrical building with a height of fifty meters and a diameter of three hundred meters. The appearance is arranged in the style of a city to give it a fresh feeling.
Since the auction was about to be held, the venue needed to be decorated and outsiders were not allowed to visit, so Zhan Chen was not able to enter as he wished. However, he still learned some information about the venue through Xiao Yao's introduction. The auction venue can accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
Thousands of people are bidding, and when the auction actually begins, the entire auction house will be packed. It is hard to imagine what kind of grand occasion this will be.
The auction will last for ten days and be divided into three sessions: lower, middle and upper. They are respectively open to cultivators below the enlightenment level, cultivators at the enlightenment level and the ancestors of Wanfa. The auction for the ancestors of Wanfa only lasts for one day.
Finally, Xiao Yao said to Zhan Chen: "Brother Zhan, actually we only need to come on the last day. The next two auctions are meaningless to us."
Zhan Chen smiled and said: "It's okay. It's my first time to attend this auction and I want to watch the whole process."
"Haha, since you are so elegant, I have nothing to say. It's just that I have some things to deal with these days, so I can't accompany you."
"Brother Xiao, just do your work, I can do it by myself."
As a result, Zhan Chen and Xiao Yao separated. The day before the auction started, Zhan Chen came to the City of Glory alone and was immediately shocked by what he saw. Tens of thousands of people were at the ticket window.
There was a long queue just to buy a ticket to enter the auction house. Zhan Chen also tried to queue up behind the crowd.
After a while, it was his turn. The ticket seller was a beautiful receptionist who had the cultivation of Yuan Shen Dzogchen. She was very surprised to see Zhan Chen and asked: "Senior, are you the ancestor of Wanfa?"
?”
Zhan Chen nodded slightly and asked, "How do you know?"
The female receptionist smiled warmly and said: "We are all equipped with special magic weapons that can spy on customers' cultivation - Senior, I hope you won't be angry if I have violated your privacy."
Zhan Chen smiled and said: "I won't be angry because of this, just give me a ticket for the auction."
"You want tickets for the auction, right?"
Zhan Chen asked curiously: "Is there any difference?"
"Of course, the price for the next auction will be one thousand top-grade immortal stones for the sect, and five thousand for the top-grade immortal stones for the mid-term auction. The ticket price for the next auction will be one hundred king-grade immortal stones."
"Want a king-grade immortal stone?" Zhan Chen was slightly startled.
"Yes, the last auction was attended by enlightened ancestors like you. Naturally, a reasonable price is required to reflect your nobility. Don't worry, we will provide you with the best private rooms and services.
We guarantee your satisfaction!" The female greeter showed a sweet smile.
"It's so expensive! One hundred King-grade Immortal Stones is equivalent to one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones! However, the auction house's considerations are reasonable. One hundred King-grade Immortal Stones is really nothing to a powerful man of all powers." Zhan Chen said silently.
I thought about it, but I still felt a little sore.
Because it has not been long since he broke through to the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm, and besides, he is the leader of the Humanity Sect, and his usual expenses are just to get ready-made items from the sect’s treasure house, so he has not accumulated much wealth at all. At this time, he only has
Three hundred and fifty thousand king-grade immortal stones and ten million top-grade immortal stones.
"Senior, do you want a ticket?" the female greeter asked doubtfully.
Only then did Zhan Chen come to his senses and said, "Of course! Give me a ticket for the end of the game, the halftime and the first game auction."
"What? Do you want everything?" The female greeter couldn't help opening her mouth, and confirmed again in confusion.
