Chapter 214: Lianyun Merchant Pavilion
In the next few days, everyone became extremely relaxed, the results of the exam were unexpectedly good, and there may be some rewards when returning to the sect' gate, there is no reason not to relax.xshuotxt.
The 'jade' cards of the three newly promoted spirit planters also came down soon, but they were different from the 'color' worn by Liuyunzi, and Liuyunzi explained to this, it turned out that the spirit planters also had ranks, and they were still junior spirit planters, and they still needed to continue to work hard if they wanted to go further.
Liuyunzi agreed to take everyone to a large auction, and just a few days later, during this time, no one was idle, and every day they would go out shopping, shopping on a large scale, and the great joy made several people no longer stingy with the tight spirit stones in their hands.
On this day, Liuyunzi gathered everyone early in the morning, found two beast carts and went straight to the auction venue.
In the central area of Wanmiao Immortal City, there is a group of tall and gorgeous buildings, among the many buildings that are as high as 100 zhang straight into the clouds, surrounded by stars holding the moon, but it is a huge hall that is only tens of zhang high, built on a slightly higher hillside, where is the most famous auction house in Wanmiao Immortal City.
A few days ago, when chatting with Liuyunzi and others, Fang Yan learned that among the dozens of auctions held by Wanmiao Immortal City every year, only the auction scene of Lianyun Shangge was the most popular, and the number of monks attracted was the highest in terms of both number and cultivation, and it had been the case over the years.
As for what kind of power Lianyun Shangge is, how can it 'get' so many high-end treasures, and where the headquarters is, but few people know, even Liuyunzi is vague, it may be that the headquarters of this Shangge is inconvenient to say, or it may be that the cultivation of Liuyunzi and others is not high enough to contact such a secret thing, in short, this merchant pavilion with a mysterious origin has a lot of 'fine' products flowing out every time it is auctioned, so that the rest of the merchants are out of reach.
The rumors about this merchant pavilion by the monks of South Vietnam have been around for a long time, and the more mysterious they are, the more they have aroused everyone's interest, and they have always become the talk of the monks after dinner. Some people say that the Merchant Pavilion was actually jointly established by the large sect 'gates' secretly, so that they could sell the treasures under the pretense of the Merchant Pavilion, otherwise where would there be so many treasures for auction every year.
Some people also say that the Shang Pavilion was built by a mysterious force outside the territory, and if you look at the history of the Lianyun Shang Pavilion in Nanyue, you will know that almost overnight, several large immortal cities in the South Yue Kingdom suddenly rose, without a single sign, and all opponents were caught off guard. For thousands of years, it is said that there have been many overt and covert methods against this merchant pavilion, but until now, it has remained immovable, and no force can shake it.
There is a saying in South Vietnam that the entire South Vietnamese country is not dominated by a single sect 'gate' on the surface, and there are four schools that should also be among them, and even the strength of these four families is above these major sect 'gates', if this is counted, South Vietnam should be the twelve major forces. In addition to the mysterious Lianyun Merchant Pavilion, there is also a business alliance that organizes various refiner exams, as well as a family that has been hidden for many years, and finally a group of other kinds of human races, which is simply strange and unbelievable.
However, when it comes to the Shang Alliance, Fang Yan feels that it is more mysterious, on the surface, it seems that he has never intervened in the disputes of various forces, nor has he participated in the operation to gain benefits, but just guarded his duty to evaluate all kinds of refiners, and honestly did his own things, and has always been very low-key, and has never heard of 'meddling' in other things.
But this is even more suspicious, a force that does things in such a low-key way holds the supreme authority of the South Vietnamese Immortal Cultivation Realm, and no one dares to touch it for many years, isn't this suspicious? And Fang Yan always felt that the back of the Shang Alliance was by no means so simple, a spirit plant exam had already made him feel the essence of the Shang Alliance, and the small tip of the iceberg had already shocked the Fang Meng, if the veil was all lifted, the terrifying degree of the dialect could not be imagined.
It is said that Shangmeng also had a name before, which can be gradually forgotten with the passage of time, but this word-of-mouth name has been remembered, and Shangmeng does not mind this, so it has been used until now.
The water in Nanyue is indeed deep enough, and a little cultivator in the Qi refining period like Fang Yan is just looking at the 'flowers' in the fog, and he is still too far away to delve into the relationship inside, and he can know that these are all because he has obtained the spirit planter, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the sect 'gate' in the future, otherwise no one will talk to him about these things.
A business alliance is so complicated, and the Lianyun Shang Pavilion, which has to maneuver with various forces every day and is deeply involved in the entanglement of various interests in South Vietnam, is much more complicated to think about, and its strength background is even more unfathomable. Just in response to the rumors that Lianyun Shangge was defending its own interests, Fang Yan heard many different versions, all of which were related to the super strength behind the scenes, but there was no major sect 'gate' involved, and not even one of its subordinate sect 'sects' and families.
Standing at the highest end of the South Vietnamese business community, Lianyun Shangge, I am afraid that in the industry it is engaged in, it is the same as the business alliance, it is a formidable behemoth, no one dares to touch a stone with a 'chicken' egg, and those forces that have been swatted to death like flies over the years have told everyone with their blood and tears that the strength of Lianyun Shangge is terrifying.
But after all, it is a business pavilion, the main thing is to open the 'door' to do business, as long as it has nothing to do with it, but I have never heard that Lianyun Shangge will ask, and if you don't take the initiative to provoke it, even Yunshang Pavilion has never taken the initiative to make a move, it is completely a businessman, as if it is an authentic businessman.
In addition, the industry of Lianyun Shangge is mainly concentrated in a few big cities, and without exception all of them are big cities under the rule of the large sect 'gate', and the most luxurious and magnificent large-scale business pavilion in the city is generally built by it and becomes a landmark 'sex' building. Other big cities do not have the banner of Lianyun Shangge on the surface, but they will hold some auctions and various 'trading' meetings, and sometimes they will also cooperate with other forces to hold some appreciation meetings, but they all follow the rules and have a good reputation in the industry.
This auction hall in the commercial core area of Wanmiao Xiancheng is an important industry of Lianyun Shangge, where several important auctions are held every year, and other merchants will lease it the rest of the time, which has become the most high-end auction venue in Xiancheng. Just from this point, it can be seen that the relationship between Lianyun Shangge and the Miao Dan Sect is extraordinary, otherwise it is impossible to give up the core area of the Immortal City under his rule.
Walking up the stairs, there is a richly decorated auction hall in front of you, with rows of armor soldiers standing at the entrance of the 'gate', and Shang Pavilion disciples dressed in Xuan's clothes standing at several entrances with a wary face. Liuyunzi led a few people over and handed over a spirit stone to a disciple guarding the entrance, all of them were medium-grade spirit stones, and the 'door' ticket for this auction was actually one hundred spirit stones per person.
No wonder some people sigh that there is nothing wrong with Wanmiao Immortal City, but if there is no spirit stone in the pocket, it will be very bad, every expense here is much more expensive than other places, and it is several times more expensive than a small place like the fire 'gate'.
Entering the 'door' is a hall, facing more than ten well-decorated arched 'doors', on both sides is a spiral staircase covered with a thick animal skin carpet, several zhang wide, and the unknown spiritual materials of various 'colors' are dotted on it. Liu Yunzi was leading a few people to 'want' through the arch 'door', but Feng Bao had a whim and wanted to go upstairs to have a look, but he was stopped by two armor soldiers just a few steps.
"Fellow Daoists, please stop, this is a high-end auction venue, you can only enter with an invitation letter, and please show it. ”
Hearing the voice, Liu Yunzi turned around, hurriedly walked over, and called Feng Bao, who was 'wanting' to ask a few words, "Senior nephew Feng, there is a high-end auction venue, and an auction is being held exclusively for the ancestors of Jindan. ”
Not far away, several gorgeously dressed monks passed by, and one of the young men in embroidered robes sneered when he saw this, "It's another dirt bun who doesn't understand the rules, what do you think is my Wanmiao Immortal City?"
Feng Bao's face turned red suddenly, but the earth bun was what he specialized in talking about others, and he was talked about himself once upon a time, and he felt that he was born noble, the blood of the dignified Jindan Ancestor, how could he be bullied like this, but he didn't dare to offend the young man in the embroidered robe, so he asked the two armor soldiers unconvinced, "That person just now is obviously also a Qi refining cultivator, why can he go upstairs?"
"Do you know what the identity of that prince is? It's not convenient for us to reveal it, but Daoyou can know that several of the guards around him are Jindan Ancestors, so of course they are qualified to go up. The armor soldier was also a little angry, so he replied softly and hardly.
"Guard, Jindan Ancestor!" Feng Bao was shocked for a moment, muttered a few words to himself, shrank his head and turned around and left, how dare such a character provoke, a few lives are not enough for people to pinch with one hand.
Liu Yunzi sighed when he saw this, in fact, he was extremely optimistic about Feng Bao's spiritual cultivation talent, and his cultivation qualifications were also good, but his mood was too arrogant and perverse, and it was because of this that he had always refused Feng Bao's several apprenticeships. At that moment, he immediately apologized to the two armor soldiers on behalf of Feng Bao, and rushed into the Shang Pavilion disciples so rudely, but turned around and left in a bad mood, without even a word of apology, which made Liu Yunzi deeply disappointed in him.
Fang Yan and several people looked around with a strange expression, not knowing what was happening, inexplicably watching Liuyunzi hurry over, and came back with a depressed Feng Bao, seeing that his face was not very good-looking, no one dared to ask more.
Through the arch 'door', the group entered the auction hall on the first floor, and from then on they could enter the auction hall through the hall. On the left side of the hall is the auction office, where items that want to be auctioned are sent for appraisal now, and will not be accepted once the auction has begun.
Arriving here, Liuyunzi hurriedly walked towards the auction office, it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, and wanted to auction a lot of things at the auction, and now he would empty out the unused ones first. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell everyone carefully, Feng Bao's scene just now made him faintly worried.
In fact, Fang Yan was also a little moved, and he also had a lot of things on him that he wanted to auction, but unfortunately when several people got together, it was not good to take them for consignment in front of them, so he could only endure waiting in place. On the other side is a large 'door' with gorgeous decoration, which is the passage to the private room, this time Feng Bao did not 'mess' into it, and waited for Liuyunzi with everyone.
It didn't take long for Liuyunzi to return and bring everyone into the auction hall.
This is the largest and most luxurious auction hall that Fang Yan has ever seen, the tall dome is inlaid with glowing fluorite, and the huge circular auction hall is extremely luxurious, whether it is the decoration of the walls and floors, or the tables and chairs in the room, all of them are made of precious materials, and everywhere shows the grace and luxury of this auction house.
Half of the 10,000-person seating room was already seated, and a few people quickly found a not too bad position to sit up, quietly waiting for the auction to begin. Soon, the venue was packed, a crisp bell rang, and the auction officially began.
