Chapter 11 I'm in a good mood today, I won't hit you
In the corner of the Xuanfang Five, Wu Qingce found Jiang Beiran, who had taken off his straw hat and was waiting for him, and reported: "Brother, I have found out everything."
Putting on the straw hat again, Jiang Beiran nodded towards him: "Yes."
"The manager said that the most important thing in their auction house is confidentiality, so each customer has a separate private room and cannot see each other. Especially today when so many sect leaders are present at the same time, there are even several booths.
There are maze formations and defensive formations, what I’m worried about is that a few Xuan Emperors are slapping and fighting.”
"Very good, what else?"
Wu Qingce thought for a while and replied: "Oh, and they don't recognize people here. After entering, they always find an empty private room to sit by themselves, so the organizer doesn't know who is sitting in the room.
"
In this world where personal safety cannot be guaranteed, it is very important to hide information in places like auctions. Otherwise, as soon as you buy something, someone will kill you and steal the goods. If this happens several times, there will be no one left.
If you dare to come to the auction house, how many lives will you lose? It’s so exciting.
Therefore, no matter whether you are a Xuan Emperor or a Xuan Master, you must abide by the rules inside the auction. In other words, the first requirement for opening an auction house is the same as opening a sect, that is, the actual strength must be strong enough, otherwise the place will be ruined in minutes.
.
However, even if the auction house sets a bunch of rules, loopholes will still be exploited sometimes.
For example, someone has a particularly strong sense of skills and can track you even across a private room. Another example is someone who does some tricks on the things he sells. After you buy them, he can find you whenever he wants.
When I find you, there are some people waiting at the door of the auction house, just like hunters waiting for prey, waiting for someone who looks like a fat sheep to take action.
In short, nothing is ever absolutely safe in this world. The reason why some people are willing to bring their treasures to auction under such circumstances is naturally because the profit is high enough. Some good things are sold privately for the same price as at auction.
The selling price is exactly the same as the sky and the earth.
As for buyers, risks and benefits coexist. Although they may be cheated, if they can safely buy the treasure they want, it will greatly improve their strength.
Of course, most people who have the ability to open an auction house will try their best to avoid such accidents, so even if someone wants to cause trouble, they generally will not choose a high-risk place like an auction.
But for Jiang Beiran... one of the reasons why he is clearly targeted by this world is that every time he wants to go to an auction house incognito to sell something or buy something, he will jump to the Xuan level or even the Earth level option.
, simply extremely dangerous.
At Xu time, Jiang Beiran and Wu Qingce came to the door of the auction house together. There was no limit on the number of people with the token. After Wu Qingce showed his token, Jiang Beiran followed him and walked into the splendidly decorated auction house.
'There's really no trigger option.'
The moment he entered the auction house, Jiang Beiran felt a sense of unreality, because in the past, just the thought of going to the auction house came up in his mind, and the system options would immediately pop up, but this time, the auction house actually really
There will be no risk.
'The Hidden Moon Sect is really a good place.'
He did two "big things" in a row without triggering the option, which made Jiang Beiran's favorability towards the Hiding Moon Sect soar. However, everything happens for a reason. Jiang Beiran did a little analysis and felt that all the major sects in Fengzhou should have gathered to hide the moon in the past few days.
Zong has brought the security of the Hidden Moon Sect Auction House to an unprecedented level.
In this auction house where Xuanzong is in charge and dozens of Xuanhuangs and Xuanwangs are participating, it would take a very short-sighted person to choose this time to do something evil.
'Sure enough, only at this special time can the goddess of luck favor me several times.'
Choosing an unoccupied private room and sitting in, Jiang Beiran sat comfortably on an imperial chair, took off his mask, took a grape from the side and threw it into his mouth.
"Senior brother seems to be in a good mood today?" Wu Qingce, who was following behind, also took off his mask and sat next to Jiang Beiran and asked.
"Well, it's not bad. If you have something you want, you can say it now."
"No, no." Wu Qingce waved his hands quickly, "Senior brother has already given me a lot."
Picking up another grape and throwing it into his mouth, Jiang Beiran changed the subject and said, "Guess who are bidding with us today?"
Wu Qingce thought for a moment, and his expression suddenly twitched, "The sect leaders of each major sect?"
Since he got this token from the sect master, it means that most of the people in today's auction are sect masters from other sects.
"Looking at your expression, it seems like you just realized it?"
"Qing Ce is stupid, please punish me, senior brother."
When the sect master gave him the token, Wu Qingce only remembered the sect master's words that because it was related to the sect master's birthday, there would be good things at the auction, and completely ignored who he would bid for these good things with.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that the two disciples at the bottom of the Guixin Sect were actually "competing on the same stage" with a group of Xuan Emperors and Xuan Kings. Just thinking about it made me feel numb.
Jiang Beiran waved his hand after hearing this: "Forget it this time, next time remember not to just look at the immediate benefits, but think more about the risks that come with it."
"Yes!" After agreeing, Wu Qingce thought about it and added, "But is it possible that most of the sect leaders are not interested in the auction and have given it to their own sect disciples, just like me."
He picked up another Sha Guo and put it in his mouth and took a bite. Jiang Beiran smiled and said: "Who said that the sect master gave you the token and he stopped coming?"
"Senior brother means..."
Wu Qingce's scalp suddenly became even more numb at the thought of having to compete with his sect leader later.
But soon he became confused: "Then why didn't the sect master take me with him, but gave me a token?"
Glancing at Wu Qingce, Jiang Beiran replied: "That's a chance for you to choose. I'm afraid the auction house will take out a lot of treasures today. If you have a good attitude, you can use it as a long-term experience, but if you have a bad attitude, you won't be able to face it."
For these treasures that can only be viewed from a distance, I am afraid that I will only be restless."
Looking at Wu Qingce with his head lowered in thought, Jiang Beiran continued: "Tomorrow the sect master will definitely ask you if you came to the auction today and observe your performance."
Now Wu Qingce understood it completely, and suddenly realized: "If I act impetuous, the sect master will not train me like this anymore, right?"
Taking another bite of the sand fruit, Jiang Beiran laughed, "That's not necessarily the case. Different xinxing have different cultivation methods. If you like treasures, the sect master will use treasures as prizes to encourage you. After all, liking treasures is not a wrong thing.
Just keep it in perspective."
"Then... senior brother, what do you think I should answer when the sect leader asks me tomorrow?"
"How do I usually teach you?"
Wu Qingce thought for a moment and replied: "Follow your heart!"
"That's right."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he threw the core of the sand fruit into the bucket next to him, stood up and walked to the wooden wall facing the chair.
'Spring Equinox 396... During the journey of Yang Escape, the Jukan hexagram number three on the Winter Solstice corresponds to Qibing Water and Tianzhu Star, which is quite exquisite.'
Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran shouted: "Qing Ce."
"Yes." Wu Qingce responded immediately.
"Come and take a look and tell me what formation is carved on this wooden board."
Wu Qingce first put on a desperate expression, then obediently walked to Jiang Beiran and stared at the board for a long time.
"It's okay, I'm in a good mood today, you can answer whatever you want." Jiang Beiran said with a smile.
"This... the auction house I went to before had the Heavenly Eye Formation carved on the wooden boards. You can look out through the wooden boards, but this one seems to have been improved a bit."
"This is the Ksitigarbha Formation mixed into the Sky Eye Formation. Not only can you see outside, but it can also cover up your aura to a great extent, making it very difficult for others to sense you."
"Ksitigarbha Formation..." Wu Qingce blinked twice, "Is this how the Ksitigarbha Formation is set up?"
Wu Qingce couldn't help but shrink his neck as soon as he finished speaking, but this time the senior brother really didn't hit him.
"Arrayments have always been able to move at will. The person who set up the formation is really an expert. Not only is the formation difficult to be broken, but the effect is much more powerful than what ordinary formation masters can do."
If it weren't for the big bosses around him, Jiang Beiran would have really wanted to break this mixed formation on the spot, not to cause trouble, but just out of interest.
Just when Jiang Beiran was still studying it carefully, the formation patterns on the wooden board suddenly lit up with a burst of white light. The next second, the wooden board turned like glass and you could see outside, but it was pitch black outside and you couldn't see anything.
Wu Qingce exclaimed and said: "Brother, the Sky Eye Formation here is indeed much clearer than other auction houses."
"The things in the first order are naturally not comparable to those rouge fans outside. Go back and sit down. It should start soon."
As soon as he sat back on the Grand Master's chair, Jiang Beiran noticed that countless lanterns and lamps were lit outside. In an instant, the originally dark auction house became brightly lit.
Then a large number of orange-red petals fell from the sky, and at the same time a burst of music sounded. Dozens of girls wearing azure robes sat in the center of the auction house and played their instruments.
'Fancy...'
Although Jiang Beiran has never been to an auction house, he knows that ordinary auction houses don't have so many fancy things when they open.
'This Sect Leader Guan really likes to show off.'
In the midst of the music, a young female cultivator wearing ten kinds of brocade with a straight collar and lapels walked to the table in the middle and used Xuan Qi to amplify the message: "The fragrance of falling butterflies and flowers leads to the dancing of colors, and the fragrance of ink can be heard singing when I write."
"Welcome everyone tonight, I am Lin Nianshan, tonight's auctioneer." After saying that, he bowed to everyone around him.
'Hmm... I have an internal odor.'
As a host who cannot see the "audience", it can be said that this person performed quite well.
Then, with the music playing, Lin Nianshan said some more conventional opening remarks and quickly got to the point.
