Shopping is really addictive!

This is Zhou Yang's real feeling after shopping on the flying giant ship.

People who don't like shopping have a thousand reasons why they don't like shopping, but the most important reason is that they haven't encountered something that makes them have a strong desire to buy, or there are financial problems.

As for the treasures in the various shops in the Flying Giant Ship, Zhou Yang believed that there was no immortal cultivator who would not be interested.

There are all kinds of rare treasures in the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and even exotic treasures from the overseas Immortal Cultivation Realm such as the "Lingxi Jade Pendant", which are not too attractive to the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm monks who are in the inland, as well as the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm cultivators like Zhou Yang.

Even if you don't buy or can't afford those treasures, just passing through your eyes and gaining knowledge is a thing that is very beneficial to your spiritual practice.

If it weren't for the fact that Daoist Xiao Ying was in retreat and impacted the eighth layer of the foundation, and the Flying Giant Ship would have to stay in Xianyang City for another year, Zhou Yang would immediately send a message to the Daoist to come to the mall together.

And as he shopped in and talked to the clerks, he gradually realized that almost every shop in this flying giant ship represented a force in the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The so-called "Donghua United Business Group", as its name suggests, is formed by the union of more than one-third of the major sects and families in Donghuazhou.

It is precisely because of so many big forces that there are so many big forces in it that all kinds of treasures can be gathered in the Flying Giant Ship, and it can attract countless monks from the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent to come over for shopping and trading.

Zhou Yang also knew that the treasures taken out by the various shops now were definitely not the most valuable things they brought this time.

Those real treasures should not really be traded with people until the Flying Giant Ship arrives at the "Liuyun Immortal City".

"Liuyun Immortal City" is the real cultivation holy place of the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it is the fairyland of the world established by the True Immortals during the Tribulation Period, which is the most prosperous and fertile place in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Zhou Yang came to Liuyun Continent to travel to the immortal cultivation realm this time, and he had already made a plan to make it the last stop of this trip.

And after he spent nearly a day browsing all the shops, he reluctantly left this level and went to the third floor of the spaceship where the auction house was located through a teleportation light door.

This third floor is nearly half smaller than the lower floor, with a semicircular auction booth at the deepest point, and the rest of the space is a place for standing people.

According to the rules of the trade, anyone who comes to this level can place a bid on the items that are being auctioned on the auction table.

But if you shout out, you have to be responsible, once you bid and successfully bid for the treasure, you must pay to buy the treasure, if you shout indiscriminately, the auction will directly arrest people!

When Zhou Yang arrived here, the first day's auction had already passed, and the next day's auction was still in preparation, and many monks from the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm were handing over the treasures at the front desk and the treasure connoisseurs in the auction hall.

When he saw this scene, he thought about it, and then walked over and lined up.

When queuing, Zhou Yang also took a look at the rules for sending photos on a public notice board next to him.

According to the above rules, no matter what the final transaction price is, the auction house only charges a fixed half-percent handling fee, and the treasure consigned must be a fourth-order or higher treasure.

Only a fixed half-percent handling fee is charged, which is undoubtedly much cheaper than the Xianyang City auction that Zhou Yang once participated in.

But if you think about it, there are actually a lot of articles about this charge.

First of all, as an outsider, if the "Donghua United Business Group" charged a fee higher than the local reputable Xuanyang Pavilion, or the same, it would definitely be difficult to attract the monks of the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm to hand over the treasures to them for auction.

Secondly, their auction will be held every day, charging half of the handling fee, which can not only bring them a large number of treasures that can be auctioned to increase popularity, but also earn more handling fees and commissions for small profits.

Thirdly, because many of the treasures in the shops on the lower floor were only bartered, many monks could not buy the treasures they valued, even if they held millions of spirit stones.

However, the existence of the auction provides them with a channel to turn the spirit stones into treasures, so that these people in need will be more willing to bid at a premium for some treasures at the auction, and indirectly earn a lot of spirit stone income for the entire "Donghua United Business Group".

To sum up, don't look at the trading rules announced by this "Donghua United Business Group", it seems that they don't look down on such things as spirit stones, but in fact, after a trip to trade, the spirit stones they earn are definitely an astronomical amount, and most of them are earned in vain without a penny of cost!

It's just that people like Zhou Yang who see through the truth will praise them for charging such a low handling fee and commission, and they will not hesitate to crown the title of "conscientious businessman", and praise them endlessly.

It's really someone who has to help people make money!

"There are masters in this Donghua United Business Group! I didn't expect that in this immortal cultivation world that advocates strength and fists, there are also such business wizards!"

Zhou Yang, who saw through all this, was amazed in his heart.

This kind of induced consumption method is one ring after another, even in the world where business is highly developed and information is highly transparent in his previous life, there are countless people who have been tricked, not to mention this world of immortal cultivation where business is not very developed.

Of course, it is powerful to come up with this kind of induced consumption method, but if you want to really use it, you still can't do without strong strength support, otherwise in this immortal cultivation world without any laws, the immortal cultivators who find that they are fooled will not honestly admit it.

So this is back to the theme of respecting the power of the immortal cultivation world, let your wisdom be unparalleled, even if you have no last resort, if you don't have enough power to support it, in the end it's just a wedding dress for others!

Similarly, even if Zhou Yang sees through everything, he still has to honestly continue to wait in line for others to "sell" him.

The situation is stronger than people, and he has no choice.

After waiting in line like this for a while, it was finally his turn.

"There is a magic weapon here, Daoyou will give you an estimate to see, if the price is right, Zhou will send it to auction!"

He took out a storage bag and handed it directly to the treasure connoisseur, and the things contained in it were the natal weapon "Kun Yuan Ruler" of Jiang Ming, a Jindan monk in Huangshamen.

This kind of Jindan period monk's natal magic weapon, although it can't exert its true power in the hands of others, is still a fifth-order magic weapon after all.

For some newly-promoted Jindan Stage cultivators who didn't have a fifth-order magic weapon at hand, or a ninth-level cultivator in the Purple Mansion, it was better to have a fifth-order magic weapon like this than to use a fourth-order high-grade magic weapon.

"The refining materials of this fifth-order magic weapon are not bad, but unfortunately, as a natal magic weapon, after the fall of the owner, the value of this thing can no longer be compared with the fifth-order magic weapon, if you really want to consign, you can only give you an estimate of 150,000 lower grade spirit stones to try!"

The treasure connoisseurs in the auction hall are all people who have appreciated countless treasures, and a fifth-order magic weapon that can't exert all its power is not enough to shock them, this person just opened the storage bag given by Zhou Yang and took a look, and gave him a starting price.

"Can it only be estimated at 150,000 spirit stones?"

Zhou Yang frowned, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

You must know that a good fourth-order high-grade magic weapon can reach this price, let alone a fifth-order magic weapon.

However, he also knows that in places like auctions, except for the treasures that are particularly rare, the starting price is generally a few percent lower than the normal price.

In doing so, the people participating in the auction can feel like they have missed the omissions and bid enthusiastically.

Second, if the price is lower than the normal price, the possibility of unsuccessful auction is very low, and once the treasure is unauctioned, the auction house will not only not earn the commission, but also have some impact on the reputation of the auction house.

So after pondering for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, 150,000 spirit stones are 150,000 spirit stones." ”

He can't use this "Kun Yuan Ruler" in his hands, and instead of keeping it in the storage ring to eat ashes, it is better to replace it with a spirit stone.

Immediately, after completing the formalities for sending the auction and receiving the voucher, Zhou Yang found a place to sit down in the auction hall.

One of the interesting things about this auction is that when the auction officially starts, there will be a very powerful illusion enveloping the whole audience, and then all the monks in the auction hall will be pulled into the illusion, and then all the auctions will be carried out in the illusion.

In this way, whoever auctioned the treasure at the auction will not know about it at all, except for the personnel of the auction house.

After Zhou Yang waited for more than two hours, the auction officially began.

At that time, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the auction hall, and then before Zhou Yang could see the origin of the dense fog, the scene in front of him changed, and it suddenly turned into a magnificent palace of golden brilliance.

He slightly cast a spell to condense a water mirror to look at the mirror, and found that his face had changed from a young and handsome young man to a gentle and elegant middle-aged teacher, and the aura of the first layer of the Purple Mansion on his body was also inexplicably enhanced to the sixth layer of the Purple Mansion.

Then he looked at the others again, and saw that the people who appeared in the hall were no longer the people in the auction hall he had seen before, all of them were some unfamiliar faces, and they couldn't tell whether the owner of that face was a man or a woman.

Just as Zhou Yang was looking at the situation in the hall, a white light suddenly flashed in the uninhabited area in the center of the grand hall, and a thin old man with silver hair was soon revealed.

As soon as the old man appeared, he raised his hand and waved, and a table formed by clouds and mist appeared in front of him, and behind Zhou Yang and the others, a Taishi chair made of clouds and mist also appeared at the same time.

After doing all this, the old man arched his hand to the surprised crowd with a smile on his face and said: "Welcome to the Hall of Illusions, below is Lin Beihe, the auctioneer of today's auction, please sit down, the auction will start soon." ”
