After the two of them finished speaking, Ming Dajing cleared his throat again and said: "Everyone, today is a good day for Tongzhou Commercial Bank to enter Tu Yancheng. In order to thank you for your love and presence, the price of all materials in the store has been reduced by 10%. The items sold in the auction house have the final price." All transaction prices have also been reduced by 10%! Well, please go to the store and buy as you like, or go to the auction house to participate in the auction. Today the auction house holds its first auction, and many uncommon magical artifacts, elixirs, and rare materials will be auctioned. Appear in the auction house and participate in the auction if you need it. Everyone, please!"
Amidst the noise, everyone entered the store of Tongzhou Trading Company one after another, while some cultivators with high status or wealth entered the auction house.
"We can go to the store first, the auction time hasn't come yet." Mo Chenglong suggested.
Recently, only a few shops are open here, and there are not a lot of materials. A big shop opened today, and the practitioners' horizons were opened. The shop was overcrowded for a while.
This Tongzhou Trading Company is really good at calculating. Even if it is reduced by 10%, the profit will still be considerable. The key is that there are too many people coming today. Even if only half of the people buy, it is still a big income.
However, the most profitable place to earn spiritual stones is the auction house. There is no upper limit for the materials there. As long as you want it, you have to fight for it. If there are fewer people competing, the price may be cheaper, but if many people are competing for a material, the price will be unlimited. .
Zhou Yang and Mo Chenglong casually took a look inside the store. The materials inside were indeed complete, including White Rodan, Purple Rodan, Daluodan, Hui Ling Dan, Hui Zhen Dan, etc., as well as various healing elixirs. Zhou Yang discovered the Nourishing Pill, the Qingling Pill, and the Blood Transforming Pill to stop bleeding at a glance.
"One level elixir, there is actually one level elixir here!" Zhou Yang stared at a transparent jade bottle, his eyes shining brightly.
"Fifteen thousand spiritual stones, that's really dark!" Mo Chenglong curled his lips and whispered.
"It's not expensive to be able to raise a person's realm to a higher level. It's just that the side effects are too great and it's a bit useless." Zhou Yang shook his head and said.
The first-level elixir is suitable for Lingtai realm cultivators. It can break through a level instantly and is suitable for critical moments such as life-and-death battles. But the side effects are also serious. After the effect of the medicine wears off, it can range from being weak for a long time to severe state regression and severe damage to the cultivation level. In addition, the price is very high, so few people care about it.
"If its side effects can be eliminated, the price of this pill will soar several times. What a pity!"
"If that were to happen, there would be no such elixir on the market." Mo Chenglong said.
"Yes." Zhou Yang nodded. If you don't have enough high-quality elixirs with obvious effects at home, who will sell them?
There are also all kinds of magical tools and talismans of various grades in the store. Especially the spiritual talismans, there are actually dozens of types, which are not much worse than the Xuanfu Sect.
There are some spiritual talismans that Zhou Yang has never seen before, such as the invisibility talisman, the phantom talisman, the earth escape talisman, the wild sand talisman, etc., but they are not of high quality. As for the high-level talismans, he only saw one type, and that was the transmission talisman exclusively used by cultivators above Tianyuan.
This kind of talisman cannot be afforded by ordinary people, and it is not an attack or defense talisman. It is a luxury item for middle and low-level cultivators.
Many materials that are not seen in Tu Yan City are also displayed on the counters of the shops, and the prices are indeed more than 10% lower than Yangtian Pavilion.
The items in the store are not even a bit more than those in Yangtian Pavilion, and even ten Yangtian Pavilions are not as good as one Tu Yan branch of Tongzhou Commercial Bank. The purpose of Tongzhou Commercial Bank is very clear, which is to quickly monopolize Tu Yan's material supply and form a dominant company in a short period of time.
Wherever their strength lies, no local store can match it. Moreover, Tongzhou Commercial Bank has vaguely become the existence of Lord Tu Yan, which further laid the foundation for its dominance in Tu Yan's business world.
At this time, all the clerks in the store were busy, and business was booming.
However, Zhou Yang discovered that the shops in Tongzhou Commercial Bank only wanted spiritual stones, but not materials for mid- to low-level monsters. This made some cultivators who didn't have a few spiritual stones feel discouraged and could only return in frustration.
Zhou Yang's mind suddenly changed: "This is the key to Yangtian Pavilion's survival in Tu Yan. We are open to purchasing materials for middle and low-level monsters, which can be exchanged for elixirs, magic weapons and other items. In this case, a large number of non-spiritual stones But cultivators who have monster materials are Yangtian's main customers. Moreover, the external sales channels in Dingbeicheng have been opened, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell these monster materials.
Yangtiange has small capital and small profits, and cannot afford a price war with Tongzhou Commercial Bank, so it can only find another way. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope under the squeeze of Tongzhou Commercial Bank.
Zhou Yang came here with the idea of whether he could find the materials needed for the Qi-Building Pill. The results were really good. There was an elixir called One-Day Hibiscus in the store, which was an auxiliary ingredient for refining the Qi-Building Pill.
As the name suggests, this kind of spiritual flower can only grow for one day. If it is not picked on the second day, it will wither. Therefore, this kind of elixir must be harvested quickly, preferably just after sunset, when the hibiscus is most effective.
Zhou Yang traveled through most of Anping City but couldn't find one. He actually found it in the small Tuyan City, which was an unexpected surprise. The price of hibiscus is not too expensive. It costs two yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone. Zhou Yang bought 300 of them in one go.
"Well, illustrations of plants and trees?" Zhou Yang's eyes were attracted by a book and he walked towards the counter.
Although he has the key to alchemy, most of the records on it are ancient medicinal herbs, and the spiritual herbs and elixirs in today's cultivation world have changed a lot from before. Although many types have become extinct, many have been born at the same time, so he still has I really need a picture book like this.
He had seen similar books in the store before, but he was extremely poor at that time and could not afford them. Things are different now. Although he is not rich, he can still afford seven or eight hundred spirit stones.
Zhou Yang bought this book of illustrations of plants and trees, and then glanced at other books, his eyes couldn't help but condense.
There are several exquisite wooden boxes placed on the counter not far away. There is a book in the middle wooden box, and the title of the book is "Keys to Alchemy"!
Zhou Yang's eyes widened, and his throat moved involuntarily. He thought to himself, "No way, is it the Jinwen version of the key to alchemy?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Essentials of Alchemy is the common name for alchemy books and magic formulas. Any one of them can be called this." Thinking of this, his heart calmed down a little.
"Man, can you take a look at that book?" Zhou Yang asked, pointing to the wooden box.
"I'm sorry, sir, I can't." The clerk shook his head.
"What's the price?"
"Ninety-six thousand spirit stones."
"So expensive!" Zhou Yang gasped. He couldn't afford this book now.
Needless to say, the items in the other wooden boxes are not cheap either, so it should be the highlight of this store.
With regret and reluctance, Zhou Yang continued to search the store.
Now the Qi-Building Pill still lacks the main ingredient Tianxin Lotus Fruit and two other auxiliary ingredients. One is called Yebai Lingguo and the other is Star Stone. These two ingredients have never been seen in Tu Yan and Anping.
"Auction house!" Zhou Yang suddenly thought, why don't we start the auction? Maybe we can see these two uncommon materials. Maybe there is also Tianxin Lotus Fruit!
But if it's too expensive, it's not worth it. After all, the Qi-Building Pill is only a second-grade pill.
Thinking of this, he pulled Mo Chenglong, and the two of them left the shop and went straight to the auction house opposite.
Zhou Yang had never been to an auction house before. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that he couldn't afford to go. He wouldn't dare enter the auction house without thousands of spiritual stones, and he would have to pay an entrance fee.
There had been auctions held in Tu Yan City before, and Zhou Yang remembered that the admission fee alone cost one hundred spirit stones. At that time, he was still a minor cultivator of Ziyuan Sect and could not earn twenty or thirty yuan a month. How could he enter the auction house.
But things are different now. He still has 10,000 spiritual stones in his storage bag, which can be used to buy the most common and top-quality magic weapon.
After entering the shop outside the auction house, a young man came forward to greet them warmly and wanted to take the two of them into the auction house.
Zhou Yang asked first: "I wonder how much the admission fee is?"
"Two hundred spirit stones, if the item is auctioned, it will be included in the auction price. If no item is auctioned, it will be regarded as the admission fee."
"Okay, lead the way." Zhou Yang took out four hundred spiritual stones and handed them to the clerk. The clerk happily took the stones and led the two of them back.
With the boy in front and Zhou Yang behind, they walked through the gate and walked forward for more than ten feet. A magnificent building appeared in front of them.
This building is more than twenty feet high and covers an area of more than ten acres. The building is green in color with an oval top. The whole building looks like an upside-down cauldron.
In just ten days, Tongzhou Commercial Bank built an auction house of this scale. Its strength is really impressive.
The circular auction house is very eye-catching in the store area, and can even be seen in half of Tu Yan City. This is also a deliberate move by Tongzhou Commercial Bank, with the obvious purpose of showing its strength.
The auction gate was guarded by more than a dozen Lingding guards, and one of the leaders turned out to be a master from the early Tianyuan period. Such a cultivator is also a high-ranking person in Tu Yan City, but in Tongzhou Trading Company, he is only the leader of the guard. This allows the cultivators to once again witness the extraordinaryness of Tongzhou Trading Company, and it also shows that Tongzhou Trading Company attaches great importance to this auction.
The boy handed the spirit stone to one of the guards, and the man took out two tokens and handed them to Zhou Yang and Mo Chenglong.
The token is also cyan, with the word Tongzhou on the front and the lot number on the back. Zhou Yang is No. 103, and Mo Chenglong is No. 104. Judging from this, the two of them had already entered more than a hundred people before.
As soon as he entered the auction house, Zhou Yang suddenly felt that there was nothing behind him, and there was no trace of the guards anymore. He couldn't help but look back, but he saw that the auction house gate and the guards had disappeared, replaced by the same large blue stones as the surrounding ones. .
This is actually a big formation!
"When you enter the auction house, you are not allowed to come in or out at will. You need to leave before you can leave. This formation channel can only be opened by Tianyuan masters." Mo Chenglong whispered.
"That's it." Zhou Yang suddenly said.
The auction room is very large. Directly in front of it is a square high platform. The height and width of the high platform are four to five feet. This should be the auction platform. Below the auction table are rows of terraced seats, with eye-catching numbers behind each seat corresponding to the lot number on the token.
