Chapter 181 Charm
“Didn’t you say there was news about an eighth-level monster?”
In an attic, Yang Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, lowered his eyes, Looking at Master Miaohe, it seems that he is selling some kind of medicine in the gourd of Master Miaohe.
This attic is high up, overlooking all living beings.
Looking down from here, you can see:
A long walkway two feet wide turned the stone house at the back into two large halls.
The hall on the left is spacious and bright.
Except for a few tall black stone pillars, there was no obstruction at all, and the hall was extremely lively.
There are nearly twenty or thirty monks staying there.
There was a long queue in a tight and orderly manner.
These monks, regardless of gender, are without exception.
They are all accompanied by a young mortal woman.
Some male cultivators looked at these scantily clad mortal women with lustful eyes, but at most they made a few teasing remarks, and no one really touched them.
Seems to be afraid of something.
At the end of the queue is a small hut.
The door of the house is shining with white light, and the monks who are queuing up can just press the door with the jade sign in their hand to enter.
But only one person can enter at a time.
And the hall on the right.
Completely obscured by a light blue light curtain.
I can’t see anything inside at all.
Seeing Yang Chen looking at the hall below,
Master Miaohe was respectful and introduced:
“My lord, I don’t know, this place is called Mingzhu Pavilion.
Mingzhu Pavilion. Xuan is a place that specializes in purchasing the harvests of monks overseas and exchanging them for spiritual stones.
Or if you think the things are expensive,
You can also directly participate in the auction after appraisal.
There are several business establishments similar to Mingzhuxuan in the city, run by different forces.
Behind every force,
there is a Nascent Soul Stage monk supporting it.
Otherwise, it would be untenable in a lawless place like the Outer Star Sea. ”
Yang Chen nodded slightly when he heard this.
The auction house is also a popular tourist attraction on the Internet.
Most of the novels about immortality and fantasy are inseparable from the auction house.
In the early stage of Han Li's development, he almost always went to the auction house.
But speaking of it, this was the first time Yang Chen came to the auction house, and he immediately felt a little strange.
Seeing that there was no impatience on Yang Chen's face, but a look of interest, Master Miaohe knew that he had made the right bet today. Thinking of the small gift carefully prepared next, he immediately bowed and smiled. Asked:
"Your Majesty, do you want to see the Treasure Appraisal Hall or the Treasure Competition Hall?"
Logically speaking, the Treasure Appraisal Hall cannot be viewed by others.
Is Yang Chen an ordinary person?
Master Miaohe wanted to please this lord.
It can be said that a lot of thought was spent!
Yang Chen looked at him deeply and said:
"What is there to see in the Treasure Appraisal Hall? It's just that if the monks have something they don't recognize, let the appraiser take a look and directly replace it with spiritual stones. Or just take part in the auction
“Go directly to the auction hall. "
"Yes! ”
Master Miaohe waved his hand, and all the scenes in the Jingbao Hall suddenly appeared below, and said: "The things in the Jingbao Hall will definitely open the eyes of the Lord!"
"Really?"< br>
Yang Chen had a half-smiling look on his face.
Previously, he saw a detail that the mortal women who accompanied the monks in line did not enter the treasure competition hall.
Obviously mortals are not allowed to enter the betting hall.
There is class everywhere.
Yang Chen sighed slightly in his heart.
I have a new understanding of the avenue.
The way of heaven is unkind and regards all things as stupid dogs.
The monks are unkind and treat mortals as ants.
Yang Chen looked at the treasure auction hall. It was not as luxurious as the auction houses described in ordinary online novels.
On the contrary, it is unusually simple.
Except for some wooden chairs.
There is a stone platform several feet large at the end of the hall.
There is an old man behind the stone.
The forehand is holding a piece of sparkling white ore.
Speaking eloquently.
Across from the old man, dozens of monks were standing or sitting, including high-level monks who were refining Qi and building foundations, and some were forming elixirs.
“This piece of Gengjin stone is an excellent material for refining magic weapons. The original owner is now auctioning it at a low price of one thousand spirit stones.
Old rule, increase the price by at least one hundred spirit stones at a time .
You can start bidding now! "
The voice of the old man on the stone platform is like a bell.
"One thousand one hundred spiritual stones! "
"Three hundred spiritual stones! "
"I will pay you one thousand six hundred yuan! ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the monks below immediately started bidding, not to mention enthusiastically.
However, in the end, the Gengjin Stone was bought by a foundation-building monk for a price of 1,800 spiritual stones.
Pay the spirit stone on the spot and take the things away immediately.
"Below, is a fire attribute weapon..."
The old man continued the auction almost without stopping.
Yang Chen looked very bored.
This auction house is too rough.
The auction method is also really crude.
It’s really hard to watch.
Seeing the expression on Yang Chen's face, Master Miaohe asked doubtfully: "My lord, do you think something is wrong?"
"Has Blackstone City been auctioned like this all these years?"
Yang Chen said boredly.
“Yes.”
Master Miaohe became more and more confused.
How else can we auction if we don’t auction like this?
"Who asked you to auction like this?
Do you understand the style, gimmicks, and signs?"
Yang Chen quite hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Forget it before.
Now this Black Rock City belongs to him.
If the auction house continues to play like this,
all the spiritual stones it loses will belong to him!
These are all my spiritual stones!
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is style, gimmick, and sign?" Master Miaohe looked confused when he heard this.
“Accent, accent, do you understand it?”
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "The level of your auction house is too low to attract monks."
Master Miaohe seems to have realized something.
Prick up your ears and listen carefully to the teachings.
“To be an auction house, you must learn to build a brand!
To build a brand, you must have a keen sense of smell, discover business opportunities or create business opportunities. Whoever seizes the commanding heights first will get the first move. Advantages.
For gimmicks, you must be able to create momentum and be good at using various marketing methods and media to attract the attention of the market and consumers and convert it into purchasing power.
Standard, a brand comes from scratch, from development to maturity, it needs time and the joint shaping of brand consumers, brand builders and the social environment. Long-termism must be adopted in any decision-making pattern. "
Yang Chen said in an understatement.
Master Miaohe was greatly surprised when he heard it.
It was like an enlightenment.
Mingzhuxuan is indeed what Yang Chen said.
In other words, all auction houses on the island are the same.
You can earn some spiritual stones, but they won’t last long.
The monk will go to this house today and that house tomorrow.
It's not under their control at all.
Until now, I heard Yang Chen’s advice.
It was only then that Miaohe realized what the problem was!
Brand!
A brand must be built.
Get rid of all the signs, gimmicks and style!
"Please give me some advice, Lord!"
Master Miaohe was really convinced.
This young and outrageous Lord not only has great cultivation, but also has an astonishing business acumen!
"I need my guidance on everything, what use do you need from me?"
Yang Chen took a deep look at him and said: "The gimmick is to replace the old man who is hosting the auction with a mortal. Women.
"You have to figure out the rest by yourself."
Master Miaohe was trembling after hearing this.
I heard you want to replace the old man with a woman?
My eyes suddenly brightened.
Yes, what kind of attention can an old man attract?
Wouldn't it be a gimmick to replace an old man with a woman?
Black Rock City lacks everything except women.
Especially beautiful women. "My lord, I am confused as to why she is a mortal woman?" Master Miaohe asked in confusion.
The pretty female nun seems to have more gimmicks?
"Do you think there are more mortals or monks on the island?" Yang Chen asked casually without answering.
“Of course there are more mortals.”
Master Miaohe said without hesitation.
Blackstone City is different from other cities.
There are more mortals than monks.
Apart from a few inns where people can stay temporarily in Black Rock City, there are generally no permanent residences for foreign monks.
High-level monks above the level of elixir formation,
will have their own caves on other islands.
The low-level monks who refine their energy and build their foundations gather into small villages and towns to live with mortals.
The monks in Black Rock City all come to buy and sell things, and the lower-level monks travel more frequently.
It stands to reason.
Only monks at the foundation-building stage and above can survive in the open sea, which is why there are so many mortals and Qi-refining stage monks.
This is also Qiyuan Island and other monster islands.
Another big difference!
Other monster islands are teleported there by some high-level monks specifically for the purpose of hunting monsters. Generally, after accumulating enough harvest, they will return to the inner star sea.
And on Qiyuan Island.
A few years after the discovery of Haiyuan, these forces found several spirit stone mines on nearby islands.
We have also opened up some production areas for other raw materials needed for cultivation, so we can basically be self-sufficient.
In this way,
some monks also dragged their families and brought them over.
Mortals without spiritual roots.
The low-level monks appeared naturally together.
Nowadays, the forces that manage Blackstone City are slowly transferring their main manpower from the Inner Star Sea to here.
According to Master Miaohe’s estimation, in tens of thousands of years, this place may become the second inner star sea.
However, except for this Black Stone City.
Mortal and monastic villages and towns on other islands.
Most of them cannot be said to be absolutely safe.
There are often small villages and towns that
are wiped out by some high-level monsters that suddenly appear.
“Qiyuan Island is following the same path as when the sages from the Luan Xing Sea first arrived in the Inner Star Sea. Naturally, there are more mortals than monks.”
Yang Chen looked at the trembling mortal woman outside the Jingbao Hall, his eyes were distant and deep, and said: "Never underestimate mortals, let alone bully mortals.
"Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn, for mortals. Some opportunities to come forward will bring different surprises in the future. "
Master Miaohe seemed to understand and nodded.
Now, he still doesn’t understand the meaning of Yang Chen’s words.
Until many years later, Black Rock City became The largest city in the outer star sea, looking back on the past, I understand the meaning of the words
...
"This place seems to be no different from other auction houses. There is no point in staying here any longer."
Yang Chen picked up the tea cup, blew on it, and said:
"What is the strange thing you are talking about?"
"Please rest assured, Lord, there are still surprises to come."
Master Miaohe said confidently:
“Although the auctions here are very frequent.
They are held every few days and a half, but there are several special auction items that will appear every time. .
They are not the most expensive things in the auction, but they are not easily seen in the Inner Star Sea.”
Is there anything that cannot be seen in the Inner Star Sea?
Yang Chen showed a hint of interest.
Qiyuan Island is developing well, but it is still early for it to be as prosperous as the Inner Star Sea.
But then again.
The outer star sea does have the potential to keep pace with the inner star sea.
It can also develop a force to compete with the Star Palace.
After all, the Inner Star Sea is big enough for the Star Palace to deal with, and it can’t control Qiyuan Island at all.
As the auction proceeds.
Soon, Yang Chen saw something that could not be seen in the so-called inner star sea, which was also the main auction item this time!
The eggs of monsters!
These things are extremely valuable spiritual stones in the Inner Star Sea!
Even, it is still priceless!
But it’s much cheaper on Qiyuan Island.
Because except for some special beast eggs,
most of the young eggs cannot pass through the teleportation array.
The consequences of being teleported,
It just turns into a dead egg.
Some high-level monks who know about Qiyuan Island will also teleport to Blackstone City to bid for spiritual beasts.
After hatching the spirit beast, spend some time cultivating it to the stage where it can be teleported, and then take it back to the Inner Star Sea.
“Huh?”
Yang Chen looked at the monster eggs with casual eyes.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling.
At this moment, the monster egg he was bidding for made him feel eager and inexplicably want to get it?
Logically speaking, this is impossible.
After all, there are too many good things in him.
How can ordinary monster eggs fall into his eyes?
"My lord, do you want this monster egg? I will help you get it right now!" Master Miaohe said quickly.
"Introduce me to this monster egg."
Yang Chen nodded slightly and said.
“Yes!”
Miaohe Zhenren said: "The origin of this monster egg is unknown, and I don't know what kind of monster it is.
"Originally, this monster egg has a strong life breath and we spent a lot of money to buy it. .
“Originally, I thought that this monster egg might be produced by a high-level monster, but as time goes by.
“The life breath of the baby egg is getting weaker and weaker, and now it is even more dying. This time I put it up for auction just because I wanted to meet some short-sighted people and try my best to make up for the losses..."
After Master Miaohe finished speaking, he broke out in a cold sweat!
Only those who don’t have a good eye can take pictures?
Isn’t this saying that Yang Chen has no eyesight?
However, Yang Chen didn't care. This monster egg could make him feel it, which was absolutely extraordinary.
"It seems that I, like the protagonist in the novel, have received the same treatment as the protagonist." Yang Chen smiled slightly.
After a while, the monster eggs were delivered.
Yang Chen put it away and was about to turn around and leave.
Master Miaohe said quickly: "My lord, please stay, the news about the monster beast's lair has not been obtained yet!"
"Oh? The news about the eighth-level monster beast's lair is not in your head. What? Does it have anything to do with the auction? "
Yang Chen said with a half-smile.
Master Miaohe, the ancestor of Nascent Soul, was so frightened that his back was wet.
"My lord, spare my life. It's not that my subordinates concealed it intentionally, but that the news was in the hands of a mysterious person..."
Master Miaohe said quickly.
"Oh? Really?"
Yang Chen sat down again and continued to watch the auction.
At this time, the auction has come to an end.
Just as the monks were about to leave, unexpectedly, two young and beautiful female monks appeared on the auction stage!
“Hiss, this is actually an auction item!”
“Blackstone City really knows how to play!”
“That woman is actually a foundation-building practitioner?”< br>
For a time, both the monks who arrived at Black Rock City for the first time and those who had expected it were stunned!
I saw a pretty and charming woman standing on the stage, with her front and back curved, beautiful and moving!
In an instant, everyone was breathing rapidly!
Whether it is a low-level Qi-refining monk, a foundation-building monk, or a high-level pill-forming monk, his eyes are all shining!
Even in the Sea of Chaotic Stars, or even in the Sea of Inner Stars.
Female cultivators with this appearance are quite rare.
What's more, this is a female foundation-building cultivator!
I thought this female foundation-building cultivator had reached her limit, but the moment the woman beside her revealed her true appearance.
The whole place was excited!
From Qi refining to elixir formation, everyone stands up!
All the monks stood up instantly!
"Hiss!"
"It turns out to be a female alchemy cultivator!"
"With such an appearance and figure, she is an excellent furnace!"
Seeing that name The woman revealed her true appearance, everyone from young to old had their eyes red!
It’s really big, too big!
It makes people want to pounce on her immediately,
press her on the auction table and start picking her up!
This woman looks so amazing!
Compared with this woman, the female foundation-building cultivator is completely incomparable, the difference between a sky and an ant!
It simply doesn’t belong to the same species!
No one thought that there could be such a beautiful woman with such a charming charm in the world!
Not to mention the people in the Jingbao Hall, even the battle-hardened Master Miaohe was short of breath and did not dare to look any further!
If you read on.
He can’t guarantee whether he will be tempted!
After all, this is the cauldron prepared for the Lord!
Master Miaohe has already found out clearly about the Lord’s hobbies. One is spiritual practice, and the other is beauty!
Otherwise, why would you have four beautiful women around you? Master Miaohe said sternly:
"My lord, are you satisfied with this furnace? This is the news that this woman has an eighth-level monster lair!"
"Are you really..."
Yang Chen didn’t know what to say. He never expected that he would meet this woman here!
Moreover, it was reduced to an auction item?
Qiyuan Island is really good at playing!
