Chapter 1289
Friars in the later stage of Jindan are the key care objects no matter where they are. After seeing Qingyang, the people at the auction dare not neglect it. A woman took the initiative to welcome them. The woman looks very young and beautiful. She only has the cultivation achievements in the early stage of Qi refining period, but the whole person looks a bit smart. She should be specially responsible for receiving and serving high-level friars.
The woman came to Qingyang and gave a respectful salute. Then she said, "little girl Ji Ming has seen the elder, but the elder came to participate in the recent auction?"
"Exactly!" Qingyang nodded.
Hearing Qingyang's confirmation, the woman Ji Ming pointed to the front and said, "senior, please follow me."
Then the woman Ji Ming led Qingyang into the auction. After entering the gate, the two first came to a registration place. While helping Qingyang register, Na Ji Ming said: "Forgive me, senior. According to the requirements of the auction, in order to ensure that the items sold can be traded smoothly, all monks participating in the auction need to pay a deposit of 3000 Ming stones. Look..."
Qingyang understood what the other side meant. The purpose of collecting the deposit was to avoid malicious competition from some people. He raised the price and auctioned things at the auction, but he didn't want them at last. Three thousand Ming stones are not too much for high-level friars, but they are a great wealth for friars during and below the foundation building period, so this is also an auction with a threshold. Not everyone can participate in it.
After Qingyang took out 3000 Ming stones and handed them to the person in charge of registration, Ji Ming received a sign from the person who registered. Then they continued to walk in. Qingyang didn't really feel it outside before. When they came in, they found that the auction was really big.
The whole auction house covers an area of at least hundreds of mu, with a height of more than ten feet. On one side is a huge platform. The auction is carried out on this. Behind it are rows of seats, with an interval of about one foot between each seat. There is a simple isolation between each other. You can only vaguely see the figure around, but you can't see who it is, and you can't hear other places.
There is also the second floor of the auction house, which is suspended in the middle, revealing the auction platform below. On three sides, there are VIP private rooms near the wall, and there are corridors in front. The settings of these private rooms are much more luxurious than the temporary seats below. There are many tables, chairs and beds. There should be all kinds of spiritual tea incense. There are also prohibitions to isolate thoughts and eyes. Just sit in the room, You can see the auction platform below, which has a broad vision and does not affect the participation in the auction.
Of course, there are good or bad positions on the second floor. The position facing the auction platform is the best. Generally, it is only reserved for important figures and friars Yuanying in Chu Jiangcheng. The closer they are to the middle, the higher their position is. Friars in the later stage of Jindan, such as Qingyang, who have no background, can only be assigned to the rooms on both sides of the second floor. Friars in the middle stage and below of Jindan, even have no qualification to go upstairs.
Ji Ming and Qingyang came to the second floor together, and then led Qingyang to the corresponding room according to the brand number in her hand. Later, Ji Ming did not leave, but stayed in the room. Before the end of the auction, her only task was to serve Qingyang well.
There are many women like her in the auction. They are attached to the auction and serve the guests participating in the auction. They are usually unpaid and rely entirely on the rewards of customers to make a living.
These waitresses have a very low status and almost no dignity. It's just when they meet customers who are easy to talk. If they encounter those difficult customers, they will not only be paid a penny, but also be beaten and insulted, and even sell their looks. In the end, half of the low and poor reward will be distributed to the auction, because the auction provides a platform, otherwise they won't even have the opportunity to earn a spirit stone.
Qingyang also cultivates from the lowest level bit by bit. He knows how difficult it is for low-level monks to cultivate. It's better to find a sect as a backer. Those low-level casual practitioners rarely have a way to earn a spiritual stone. They often have to fight with their lives for a spiritual stone or a pill. Male casual practitioners rely on hard work and hard work, while female casual practitioners rely on selling their looks or finding a good Taoist partner, but they can finally endure it However, there are few people who stand out. There are so many such people that Qingyang can't pity them.
Qingyang is a gentleman of integrity. Naturally, he will not do such things as beating, scolding, insulting, or letting the other party betray her color. Of course, he will not treat her specially because he sympathizes with the other party. Ji Ming is used to this kind of day. If Qingyang is too polite, he will scare the other party. If he feels that the other party's service is good, he can only reward a few more spiritual stones when he leaves.
Before the auction started, Qingyang sat in the room and closed her eyes. Ji Ming stood quietly at the door and didn't dare to disturb Qingyang. The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, but Na Ji Ming seemed to feel that Qingyang was not too difficult to serve.
With the passage of time, more and more people came to the auction. In less than two hours, the following vacancies were less than 10%, of which about half were junior monks of Jindan, and the rest were monks in the middle and late stage of foundation construction. No one with a lower cultivation level.
When Qingyang passed those seats before, he counted them. There were at least 3000 seats below. Plus the rooms on the second floor, there were nearly 2000 Jindan friars participating in the auction alone. This shows how influential the auction is.
Qingyang once inquired about it. Behind the auction is the Lord of Chu River City. He not only has a deep background, but also has a strong background. No one dares to provoke or make trouble here. The auction is held twice a year, and the business is very prosperous. Chu River City has an influence over hundreds of thousands of miles around. Not only friars of Chu River City, but also the surrounding spokesmen come here to participate in the auction It seems that there are not many sects and scattered monks within the shooting range who come to 2000 Jindan friars at a time.
At this time, a group of people suddenly came into the outside of the auction. Because there was a lot of noise when they came in, Qingyang couldn't help opening his eyes. Walking in front of him was a red haired old man. He walked with wind and swaggered with extraordinary momentum. Behind him were several Jindan friars. One of them, Qingyang, knew him. It was the goatee who told him to auction the number of weapon refining places. Looking at his follow-up, could it be that the old man in front was Chiye Zhenjun?
Sure enough, Ji Ming nearby saw that Qingyang seemed very interested in people outside, so he took the initiative to introduce him and said: "senior, this is the famous Chiye Zhenjun of Chu River City who came in just now. He has excellent weapon refining skills, and even the city Lord has to ask for it in person."
"It's said that there is an auction of refining utensils of Chiye Zhenjun this time?" Qingyang asked.
