If the auction pavilion is auctioning its own resources, then its profit is the difference. If the auction is an item entrusted by someone else, the profit is about 10% of the sale price.

Both of these methods of making a profit require that the auction pavilion can hold an auction every once in a while, otherwise it is very likely that the spirit stones earned will not be as good as changing to other shops.

Of course, this is only the information that Li Xuanshan sees from the surface, if it really goes deep into the operation of an auction pavilion, there must be other obscure operating mechanisms.

But with the information that Li Xuanshan himself knew, he could be sure that the three foundation building period cultivators in Mangshanfang City would definitely not be able to support an auction pavilion.

Waiting for the loose cultivation of Wuyang Wuyang outside the door to be put in, Li Xuanshan still didn't know what the point of Mangshanfang City holding such an auction was!

Li Xuangang sat on a chair and quietly waited for the auction to begin.

They had arrived relatively early, and after a while, a few places like theirs were filled by monks.

Li Xuangang found that there were actually clansmen from the Wang family of Qing Yuanshan among them.

His brows furrowed, and he began to think about the reason, why did the three scattered cultivators from Mangshanfang City invite them and the people of the Wang family over?

......

Since the hall was occupied by a group of loose cultivators, it was a bit noisy.

Scanning his divine sense lightly, Li Xuangang found that most of them were cultivators in the middle stage of qi refining, and only a few of them had reached the ninth level of qi refining.

This phenomenon continued until an old man stepped onto the front platform.

Without any scruples about the aura emanating from his body, he revealed his identity as a foundation building monk to everyone present.

The noise gradually subsided, and no one dared to talk nonsense in front of this foundation-building monk anymore.

The old man looked around, and looked at these low-level cultivators a little worried. After mastering the situation in the field, the old man slowly spoke:

"Old man Zhao Fengshan, on behalf of the other two Taoist friends today, I will preside over this auction for you, please forgive me if there is anything inconsiderate. ”

"Zhao Fengshan, is that Zhao Fengshan, one of the three major scattered cultivators of Mangshan in the middle of foundation building?"

In the hall, some cultivators began to talk in a whisper.

The auction process behind was actually a bit dull, as Li Xuangang expected, there were not many high-level resources that Mangshanfang City could provide, and Zhao Fengshan did not have any experience in hosting auctions, so there were very few monks in the audience who responded.

Even if there were a few sporadic items that made Li Xuangang a little eye-catching, the monks below actually didn't say anything other than a few exclamations.

These casual cultivation are not high, and the spirit stones used for cultivation on weekdays are all nervous, so naturally there are no extra spirit stones to buy these materials.

However, several family members next to Li Xuangang took pictures of several of these items.

The auction ended hastily as Li Xuangang expected, but just before the auction ended, Yu Dongying, who sent an invitation to Li Xuangang yesterday, came.

After greeting each other, the latter asked them to wait for a while, saying that Zhao Fengshan had something important to discuss with them.

Although there were some doubts in his heart, Li Xuangang still stayed and saw what Zhao Fengshan was looking for them?

After Yu Dongying also greeted the clansmen of the Qing Yuanshan Wang family, he went down from the second floor. At this time, the lobby on the first floor has already begun to be cleared.

It only took a few moments for the hall to become empty again.

Li Xuanshan sat on the chair, leaned his body slightly towards Li Xuangang, and then lowered his voice and asked:

"Brother Jiu, what do you mean by him leaving us and the people of the Qingyuan Mountain Wang family behind?

Li Xuangang glanced at him and did not speak.

Li Xuanshan secretly ridiculed himself: The joke he said, Brother Jiu never picked it up!

In fact, Li Xuangang and Li Xuanshan both understood that as long as Mangshanfang City wanted to continue to exist, then Zhao Shanfeng would not be able to blatantly deal with the clansmen of the five largest families in the Tianhe region, and the Qing Yuanshan Wang family had the existence of Jindan Ancestor.

At the same time, the consequences of angering the Wang family of Qing Yuanshan and the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain could not bear it with the scattered cultivation of their three foundation building periods.

"Wait a minute, they should have something else going on!"

Now that Li Xuangang has spoken, Li Xuanshan no longer speculates. As for Li Yuxian, this matter has no impact on him, there are ninth and fifteenth uncles present, he just needs to listen.

Li Xuanshan's tea on the side was finished, and Li Yuxian hurriedly picked up the teapot and refilled it for him.

didn't let a few people, including Li Xuangang, wait too long, and after the scattered cultivation in the hall was finished, Zhao Shanfeng walked up, and Yu Dongying also followed him respectfully.

Seeing Zhao Fengshan appear, the three Li Xuangang, who were still sitting just now, and the three clansmen of the Wang family next to them all stood up. One after another:

"I've seen Senior Zhao!"

Zhao Fengshan showed a smile on his face, waved his hand, and replied:

"You don't have to be formal, sit down!"

Waiting for Li Xuangang and the others to sit down, Yu Dongying casually pulled a chair next to him over and asked Zhao Fengshan to sit down, while he himself stood behind him to serve.

Without beating around the bush, Zhao Fengshan said directly to the point:

"Actually, this time the auction was held, I first wanted to see how the current situation of the monks in Mangshanfang City was, and from the final result, it was not very satisfactory. Second, I want to bring together your clansmen from the Qingyuan Mountain Wang family and the Taiqiu Mountain Li family so that I can discuss things with you!"

Although Li Xuangang had some doubts in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

Immediately, the Wang family next to him asked:

"I wonder what the seniors want to discuss with us?"

Zhao Fengshan tilted his head and gestured, and Yu Dongying, who was behind him, took out two jade boxes from the storage bag, walked forward, and handed them to Li Xuangang on the opposite side and another Wang clansman who had just exited to inquire.

When Li Xuangang saw the jade box on the table, he didn't open it rashly, nor did he put it in the storage bag. He quietly waited for Zhao Fengshan's words.

"I want to cooperate with your family, there is a jade cylinder in this jade box, and some specific matters are recorded on it, I hope that Xiaoyou can send this jade box to your family elders, and I will have a detailed discussion with them at that time. ”

"Actually, I don't have to hide it from you, since you were sent here by your respective families, you must have some understanding of the current situation in Mangshanfang City. Mangshanfang City is getting bigger and bigger, and our three foundation building periods can no longer be fully controlled. And the elders of your two families must be interested in talking to us about this. ”

The words have been said very clearly, and Li Xuangang has only now figured out that he is here to help Zhao Fengshan spread the word.

......

With the jade tube, Li Xuangang and the three of them walked on the way back.

Li Yuxian remembered the conversation with Li Xuangang last night, and he couldn't help but say:

"Uncle Jiu, it's really as you said, it's just that I didn't expect that these three loose cultivators in Mangshanfang City would actually take the initiative to contact us, and I thought that the family would have to take a lot of trouble to fight for the interests of Mangshanfang City. ”

Li Xuangang glanced at Li Yuxian, first sighed, and then said:

"It seems that these three scattered cultivators in the foundation building period can establish this Mangshanfang City, and they do have some ability, seeing that it is impossible for them to keep all their interests, they want to pull people into the water, and this trick is indeed quite subtle. ”

Li Yuxian was a little dizzy, a little ignorant, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't think clearly. In the end, it was the fifteenth uncle Li Xuanshan who solved his confusion.

"It seems that Brother Jiu, you have also guessed their intentions, the interests of Mangshanfang City are destined to give up a part of it, I thought that the family could take a little effort to take it all, after all, our Taiqiu Mountain is the closest to Mangshanfang City, but I didn't expect that today he used the excuse of the auction to bring us together with the people of the Qingyuanshan Wang family, and directly picked out this matter. ”

"In this way, it is impossible for the two of us to want to be alone, and to tell us directly about the two of us is actually just to make the two of us wary of each other. In this way, they can protect their interests to the greatest extent, even if we and the Wang family enter Mangshanfang City in the future, a tripartite force will be formed between us, and it will not be easy for them to be expelled. If only one is brought in, then they, as the weak side, are likely to be swallowed by the strong side. And if there are three forces, the situation will be very different, and it will be much more beneficial for them. ”

Of course, Li Xuangang also understood this, but in fact, Li Xuanshan also missed one point, that is, why did Zhao Fengshan only make it clear to them and the Wang family at the same time? This is not only to make them and the Wang family wary of each other, but also to show that only the two of you can enter Mangshanfang City at most.

Because Mangshanfang City is only the size of a small Fang City in the final analysis, once the more forces enter, the less benefits they can share.

And Zhao Fengshan's choice of forces is also a key, Qingyuan Mountain is strong enough, Taiqiu Mountain is close enough to Mangshan, with these two forces as backers, it is enough to deter other forces that are ready to move.

What they have paid is nothing more than benefits that they cannot keep.

After figuring out Zhao Fengshan's intentions, Li Xuangang sent a sound jade cylinder to the family as soon as he returned to the Alchemy Pavilion. And said his own analysis.

And the jade box that Zhao Fengshan gave him was also brought back by him to the caravan.
