Chapter 55: The Lottery Meeting (Part I)
Yesterday when he came out of Wanshu Pavilion, he was blameless and did not go elsewhere. Instead, he returned to the cave and practiced quietly for a day.
First, the improvement of his cultivation is still his top priority at present. Even if there is no Yuanyu Jinghu, the cultivation speed is a little slower, and the bottom is better than nothing. Second, if you go to the north and south cities or other places to wander around, you will inevitably be approached by people from both sides. Before Gui Wuyi finished several things in turn according to his own steps, he didn't plan to have too much contact with Yu Xuanzong and Yujingmen.
Today is the first session of the "Treasure Meeting", known as the "Lottery Meeting", and you will not miss it. Wake up in the morning and drive away early.
All kinds of affairs on Zhongqu Island are well organized, and they settle down at various portals along both sides of Luchen Street. The only exception to this is the annual "Treasure Fair".
At the "Treasure Fair", monks who have leased the island for more than ten years, as long as they still have a few chips in their hands, will come to visit. Based on the experience of previous sessions, it is estimated that the number of participants is almost no less than 100,000. This kind of scale is naturally not something that any palace can carry.
Yu Xuanzong's more than ten Yuanying monks, plus more than 100 refiners of the Jindan Realm, took a hundred years. A treasure was refined and called "Hundred Sons". There are a total of 100 pictures in this picture, each of which is hundreds of feet in length and width, almost the same size as a "moving star floating sea breaking cone". At the beginning of the "Treasure Society", this figure was spliced in the air, but it was made into a huge dojo, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of monks.
Today's auspicious clouds, the sky is very good, and the hundred pictures are colorful, reflecting the sky, and the end is extremely eye-catching. It was only half an hour before the square Jiahui Dojo appeared in front of him.
On the periphery of this picture, a tall giant tree stands every 100 zhang, like a portal leaning against a pillar. Leaning inward, with the thin grass cast into a low wall no more than three feet high, Gu made the jade hall steps. As soon as you enter it, the layers are curved and looped, there is Zhu Xuan's embroidered shaft, and the screen stands on it, separating each picture of the hundred children from ten jade platforms in each of the vertical and horizontal ten. If a hundred pictures are one, the total number of jade platforms is tens of thousands. It seems that it is convenient for people to distinguish and understand, and there is a high-roofed canopy in the center of each picture, with different colors.
Zhongqu Island City, South City is 100 vertical and horizontal, totaling 10,000 people, and North City Fangmen is 10 vertical and horizontal, totaling 100 people. The shape in this hundred sub-figures seems to imply the city of the north and the south.
Each jade platform is haloed, and the things hidden in it are tightly covered. And around the jade platform, there are twenty-four seats divided by screens, which can also be regarded as simple private rooms. From this, it can be calculated that the total number of seats should be 240,000.
The people who flew here from all directions can be described as bustling, and the momentum is not inferior to that of the mortal capital. It's just that compared with the noisy and noisy people of the people, although there are many people here, they all come and go alone, each doing their own thing, and there is very little traffic between each other.
In the northeast corner of Baizitu, he found a private room and sat down.
This barren sea "treasure fair" can be developed into the current scale, which can be called the first trading event in four states and one sea. It is not only the right time and place, but also Yu Xuanzong's measures according to local conditions and appropriate measures.
Not to mention anything else, there are no more than two kinds of monk fairs in the rest of the realms. For those who are large, they will be bought and sold, and those with the highest price will be rewarded, and those who are small will be treasured for their own private collections and bartered. If this "treasure fair" is also based on this example, it will be difficult to have today's atmosphere. These loose cultivators who refine and refine jade, their net worth is originally limited, where do they have the courage to compete with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people to buy any treasures.
And now the "Pinzhen Meeting" will be the "lottery meeting" before the meeting, the "erudite meeting" after the meeting, and even the second "Mo Yan meeting" of the trading meeting, which can be called a unique opportunity and an ingenious idea. Even if you are shy in your pocket, as long as you have good luck and good knowledge, you may have great gains. This is really not a small attraction to Jindan scattered cultivation in various places.
Especially the first one, today's meeting "lottery meeting". It can be very rewarding without a penny, and the number of participants has historically been several times higher than that of the main meeting.
After another half an hour, the ten thousand jade platforms in the picture of the hundred sons are all shining, like the light of the stars, like the run of jade. After a short time, all the treasures tightly wrapped in streamers slowly rose and floated in the air.
The streamer dissipated, and 10,000 treasures were clearly revealed.
All kinds of spiritual grass, spiritual materials, spiritual wood, spiritual stones, foreign objects of the essence of the five elements, demon animal skins, bones, pills, all kinds of finished magic weapons, magic weapons, talismans, pills, demon birds, demon beasts, everything, everything. Even two or three out of ten of them have strange appearances, and it is not only difficult for those with shallow knowledge to know their names, but it is even difficult to determine which major category they belong to.
These 10,000 treasures are all wrapped in a looming transparent mask. With the means of the Jindan monk, if you want to break through the light mask and seize the treasure, you must not do it. Underneath each treasure is a parrot-patterned fish-shaped pot of the exact same shape. This pot is about three feet high, and the spout is five or six inches thick, delicate and gorgeous.
Gui Wuyi put his hands into his sleeves and felt for a bundle of thin bamboo skewers. Begin to look at these 10,000 treasures one by one.
The "Lottery Meeting", the pre-meeting of the "Pinzhen Conference", is a masterpiece carefully designed by Han Anshi, the head of Yu Xuanzong, to attract popularity for the trading conference.
If you rent Sing Tao for ten years, you can get a "treasure chaser". The longer the age, the more signatures you get. The term of renting Zhenru Island for a hundred years is not to blame, and according to the rule, you can get 20 "treasure lots". However, Wu Miao opened a back door for Gui Wujiao, and the one-time gift of this sign on the same day reached hundreds. blamed no one and did not refuse, and laughed at it. For Yu Xuanzong and Gui Wujiao, these "treasure chasing lots" are roughly equivalent to the bargaining chips of the game, which is not a serious favor, and Gui Wuyi will not take it to heart.
The monks who come to participate in the "lottery meeting" have at least one treasure lottery on their bodies, otherwise who has leisure and leisure will come to watch others play and take treasures for no reason.
If the monks fancy any treasure, they can engrave their own treasure tags and put them into the pot under each treasure. When the hour comes, a lot will be drawn in each pot, and the winner will get a treasure.
This "drawing of lots" is all about luck, and there is nothing opportunistic. The reason is also very simple, the process of throwing pots by the people present is all public. Which treasure has more lots, which treasure has fewer lots, with the divine sense of Brother Jindan, everyone remembers carefully.
If there is only one copper stick in the pot under a treasure, the final treasure candidate is naturally 100% certain. But in fact, this is impossible, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the spout, and those fish-shaped pots with fewer lots will not take long to be replenished with copper sticks.
There were tens of thousands of treasures present. The total number of lotteries carried by the monks was about 150,000 to 160,000. With an average of fifteen or sixteen lots, you can get a treasure.
Blameless and interested, the things displayed on the jade platform looked at the past one by one.
He has a lot of strange objects on him. As a giant sect in the world, the treasures that Yue Heng Sect prepared for him with great effort were naturally far superior to those of the Nether Realm. But it would be unrealistic to say that you can rely on these to cover everything.
Different environments produce different needs, and different needs supply different foreign objects. "Casting Spirit Pill" and "Zhenggu Pingmai Pill" have proven this time and again. Now the blameless has gradually adapted to the laws of survival in the nether. Those external objects that don't seem to be so advanced, but can provide him with a small help, he will not be confident and miss out on it.
Sure enough, only half an hour later, on the third jade platform on the right, a gray and fist-sized sphere came into Gui Wuyi's eyes.
Gui Wuyi nodded secretly. He has been able to conclude that for himself. There is no second thing that can be compared with this thing at this drawing of lots! With this thing in hand, a pass in 20 years will be half solved.
It is not unheard of in the past when a monk has mastered dozens or even more treasure lotions. Even if it is difficult for casual cultivators to do this, it is not a small number for several second- and third-class sects and more than a dozen Jindan monks to gather their own signs. Without exception, the lottery strategy of these people is to scatter and cast a net everywhere. If you have sixty or seventy signs, if you're not unlucky, you'll always end up with four or five treasures.
And put all the signatures on hand into a pot that is optimistic, although the probability of obtaining this thing is higher, but the overall income outweighs the loss, once the bamboo basket hits water, it is even more lost. If you really value a certain treasure and cast twenty or thirty lots, exceeding the average value of the jade sticks in the pot, it is already the limit.
With a shake of his hand without hesitation, the ninety-seven talismans were wrapped in a ball and thrown out, like a mist of gray mist, which accurately fell into the fish-shaped spout.
In the picture of a hundred children for a while, everyone looks sideways.
