Chapter 18: Windfall
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the pink ticket and the reward from Anna1978! ╭(╯3╰)╮——
He thought so, so he smiled and said, "In that case, what are you going to do with this bottle of pill?" ”
Lin Lan was stunned by his question, and blurted out, "How to deal with it?" Not to participate in the auction? ”
Lou Zhuang said with a smile: "Daoist friends don't know, in our place, the same auction, but there are two methods. One is that Daoyou sells it directly to us, and then you don't have to worry about other things, and how much this thing sells for in the end has nothing to do with you. The other is to join the auction directly, and after we take a percentage of the auction proceeds, the rest will be yours. These two ways have their own merits, which one do you want to choose? ”
Lin Lan understood. The former method, to put it bluntly, is a buyout, and the auction will buy it at a fixed price, and it is none of her business whether it is good or bad after that. But with this method, the money she earns is fixed, that is, the income is guaranteed. In the latter case, it is uncertain how much money she can make, and if she can get a good result at auction, she may earn more than the first method. But if she can't sell well, or even if the auction fails, she won't get a point. If you choose the second method, it is equivalent to a gamble, and you have to be confident enough in your own things.
But before she chooses, she has one more question that needs to be answered.
"Senior, I'm just here to ask you to help identify things and want to participate in a temporary auction, is there also your stuff in this kind of auction?" She asked, puzzled.
Lou Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Daoyou misunderstood." With the level of this bottle of elixir, it is completely possible to participate in the official auction, and we will have this kind of proposal. It would be a shame that such a precious elixir would be put in a temporary auction. If possible, we would like to have this bottle of elixir appear at an official auction. ”
When Lin Lan heard this, she couldn't help but get a little excited. She just wanted to try the temporary auction, but now she has the opportunity to enter the official auction, which is like pie in the sky, how can she not want to?
However, you can't show this excitement in front of others, otherwise you will be seen through and you will fall behind.
Lin Lan had already experienced this, so he hesitated. He smiled and said, "Thank you seniors for your affirmation." However, the younger generation thinks that since they are here, it is better to participate in the auction. The younger generation is still counting on being able to make more money, so they want to give it a go. ”
Lou Zhuang didn't think it was strange, but said with a little regret: "That's the case." I won't say anything more in the future. We're going to take this bottle of elixir for the time being, and we can auction it off at auction later. I hope that Taoist friends will understand more. ”
Lin Lan nodded. "It's nature. Seniors, please feel free. ”
Lou Zhuang nodded, handed her a jade plate, and said with a smile: "This is proof of participation in the auction." Since Daoyou has taken out the auction item, he naturally wants to watch it be auctioned with his own eyes. ”
Lin Lan was stunned again, she didn't expect that there would be such benefits. Obviously, the level of this jade plate is much higher than that of his original famous brand. The auctions that can be attended are also much more advanced than the previous one. She originally thought that before her cultivation was improved, she would not be able to be promoted before the stipulated time, but she didn't expect that she would be stumbled by mistake at this time. I fulfilled my wish.
She smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you, senior." ”
Lou Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoists, don't say that." With you adding glory to our auction, we should be the ones who should say thank you. There is still a period of time before the auction starts, Taoist friends can walk around and have a look, and then Xiao Huan'er will come and take you there. ”
Lin Lan bowed and said, "The junior knows the way." Since this is the case, I will bother Yu Daoyou. ”
Lou Zhuang and Yu Diehuan hurriedly returned the salute, and the three of them dispersed, they went to do their own thing, and Lin Languo just hung out in this auction as he said.
She walked out of the house, observed for a while, and found that many of the people who had come in were walking in one direction, and she couldn't help but be curious, and followed.
As the flow of people walked through a door, her eyes lit up, and she found that behind this door was actually a spacious square. The square is crowded with people, it is very lively, take a closer look, it turns out that people who set up stalls can be seen everywhere in the square, all kinds of things on the stalls, pills, talismans, medicinal materials, weapons, etc., everything. There were many unknown things, and she didn't know what they were, but there were also some people who stopped in front of them and bargained.
It's a small market!
I didn't expect there to be a market outside, but there are also inside. Looking at these things, it was clear that those monks outside wanted to participate in the auction, and they were afraid that they would delay their own time for trading, so they simply took them in and bought and sold them on the spot, so that the two were not mistaken.
Only then did she understand where the people who had entered the auction had gone. But looking at the lively situation in front of you, how big is the scale of the auction here to accommodate so many people?!
She sighed as she walked in with the flow of people. Anyway, it's idle at this time, and it's okay to stroll.
The things sold here are the same as the outside, and most of them are of little use. However, this "no big use" is just for Lin Lan, although she has a short cultivation time and is young, she has already seen a lot of good things, and the things on these stalls naturally can't get into her eyes. However, for monks who don't have access to better resources, it's worth a visit.
She just watched it casually, mostly just interested in the unknown. There are thousands of cultivation materials in the world, and no matter how good she is, she can't know them all, so it's just a good time to have a long experience.
Along the way, she really knew a lot of things she didn't know before, and there were a few more good and bad collectibles in the Qiankun bag. Although her vision is high, if she encounters something that is relatively rare, or useful for her own alchemy or talisman making, it doesn't hurt to buy it, anyway, she still has a lot of spirit stones, and a bottle of elixir is about to be auctioned, which is relatively wealthy.
At this time, the voice of the little Suzaku suddenly sounded in her head, saying, "Good things, buy it!" Buy it! ”
She couldn't help but be stunned, and after a pause, she stopped in front of a stall. When the stall owner saw it, he hurriedly and enthusiastically stepped forward, and said with a smile: "What did Daoyou fancy it?" Anyway, my stuff here is good and affordable! ”
Lin Lan couldn't help but glance at him, and she couldn't help but laugh and cry in her heart. Most cultivators are people with a calm personality, and even if their original nature is out of order, they often retreat for a few days or even years, and this kind of situation can calm people down. Therefore, there are very few lively people among cultivators, and it is difficult for lively people to cultivate to a high level.
However, the person in front of him is obviously an exception, and such sharp teeth show this person's character, which is really rare among cultivators.
She didn't speak, just glanced around the stall. There are many things on this stall, most of them are ordinary and ordinary, and there is nothing special about it, so why did the little Suzaku suddenly scream?
At the same time, the voice of the little Suzaku continued to sound, and said, "Quick, look at that stone, do you see it?" That's a good baby, put it away! ”
Her eyes wandered, and at last she found an inconspicuous stone in the corner of the stall, the size of two fists, completely black, and it did not look special, as if it had been used to hold down the blanket of the stall.
She couldn't help but wonder - this black stone is a treasure?
But the little Suzaku continued to shout in her head, giving her a headache. She had no choice but to say to the stall owner, "This fellow Daoist, how do you sell these things?" ”
She didn't point directly at the stone, but at the stone, and pointed at a few random things, not wanting the man to see what she really wanted to buy.
The man couldn't help but be overjoyed and stunned. The monks who appear in such places are generally not very wealthy, and even if they buy things, they will bargain and be very cautious, and it is rare to buy a variety of things at once. And once it appears, it means that a large amount of income will come in, which is the luck of the person who sells things! But why did she fall in love with that stone? Isn't that an ordinary stone? Did she recognize something?
He then cautiously probed: "This fellow Daoist, these things are ordinary goods, and the price is not very high, but this stone is very precious, I am afraid it will be more expensive." ”
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Where can the things you take to press the corners of the stall be precious?" Do you think I'm a fool? So an ordinary stone, if it weren't for the fact that I was going to make a stone carving, seeing that its texture was good, I was too lazy to look for it, so I wanted to buy it. If you don't want to sell it, it's not a strange thing, at most I'll take the time to find it myself. ”
When the man heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, and when he saw Lin Lan making a gesture to leave, he hurriedly grabbed her, and said with a smile: "This fellow Daoist, don't be angry, I said that the stone is precious, but it is because it has some special meaning for me." If you want it, just take it. ”
Although he will be skeptical of Lin Lan's statement, if he doesn't say so, he is afraid that Lin Lan will really leave, and at that time, he will not be able to sell anything, wouldn't he be wronged? It's not easy to find such a big buyer!
Therefore, Lin Lan easily crushed the stall owner's confidence and bought the stone and a bunch of unused miscellaneous pieces for the price of five low-grade spirit stones.
Once she had bought something, she stopped staying here any longer, quickly squeezed into the crowd, and disappeared in front of the man in the blink of an eye.
She found a secluded place, stayed quietly alone, looked left and right, took out the stone, and then flashed into the mysterious space.
"Great, great!" Little Suzaku jumped forward and jumped up and down, excited.
Lin Lanhu looked at the stone in his hand suspiciously, and asked, "Seeing that you are so excited, what kind of treasure is this?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
