After Cao Yingsheng arrived, he asked Song Juexin to secretly send people out to investigate the mysterious man, trying to figure out his true intentions and identity.
But unfortunately, after so many days, the people sent out still found nothing, not even the shadow of the other party. Song Juexin was worried about offending the other party, so he persuaded Cao Yingsheng not to pursue this person anymore.
If he offends the other party and simply absconds with the treasure, Wanbao Pavilion's multi-city promotion will be like slapping himself.
After hearing this, Cao Yingsheng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then let's withdraw the people we sent out, and wait until the auction is over to see if we can act accordingly."
"Act according to the opportunity? What Mr. Cao means is..."
Cao Yingsheng frowned, and the pressure suddenly came down on Song Juexin, "This matter has nothing to do with your Wushuang branch, just do your part."
"Yes Yes..."
Song Juexin suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and then he remembered that his status was not worthy of asking these questions.
...
April 14th, the day before the auction.
Wanbao Pavilion's propaganda has not stopped. Every day, a large number of manpower is sent out to patrol around and shout out, and at the same time, notices are posted all over the city. It can be said that the people of Wushuang City today are almost vomiting after hearing the news about the auction.
In fact, not only Wushuang City, but also other cities within tens of thousands of miles around Wushuang City have similar effects. All Wanbao Pavilion branches within tens of thousands of miles around are promoting this matter.
When people from other cities heard the news, many people rushed over with great expectations, which directly caused the huge Wushuang City to be overcrowded.
Of course, some people felt that the distance was too far, or that this was just Wanbao Pavilion deliberately creating momentum, and they were too lazy to rush over to join in the fun.
It's a good thing that these people didn't rush over, otherwise, this Wushuang City would have been overcrowded.
But despite this, the swarming crowd still gave Song Juexin a headache. Can the Wanbao Pavilion auction house not accommodate such a large number of people?
After much thought, he had to make a difficult decision: no one without a hundred thousand spiritual stones will be allowed to enter the auction tomorrow!
This decision is undoubtedly the best for this auction.
But for many casual cultivators, it was not so friendly, which directly caused a group of casual cultivators to surround the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion, yelling and swearing, and the crowded crowd directly made Wanbao Pavilion's business impossible.
Lu Li was also among the crowd. Hearing everyone yelling curses and being pushed around made him extremely speechless.
Outside the splendid gate.
Deacon Wan Jingshan stood on the steps, looking at the crowded crowd below with a helpless expression.
But this is not the answer. Wanbao Pavilion still has to do business. If it continues like this, today's revenue will be gone, and the impact on Wanbao Pavilion's reputation will be inestimable.
So, he coughed lightly, took up his true energy and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment..."
"Paralyze you!"
Before Wan Jingshan finished speaking, a roar from the crowd suddenly drowned out the curses, "I worked so hard to get here from Tai'an, more than 30,000 miles, and my feet are blistered, you know? If you say you won’t let us in, we won’t be allowed in. They are treating us like monkeys...!”
"Yeah, he's treating us like monkeys. If Wanbao Pavilion doesn't give us an explanation today, we won't leave. No matter how powerful he is, he can still kill us all!"
"That's right, Wanbao Pavilion is bullying us, treating us like monkeys, and trying to kill us. This is unbearable! Brothers, please pass on..."
"The brother in front said that Wanbao Pavilion has captured a monkey and wants to kill us! It will be passed down later..."
"It was said earlier that Wanbao Pavilion wanted to kill monkeys for us to eat. Later..."
"As I said before, Wanbao Pavilion asked us to catch monkeys. Later..."
"...."
"Brother, Wanbao Pavilion called you a monkey..."
Suddenly, a young man in clean white clothes in front of Lu Li turned his head and looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li was stunned, "What the hell are you looking for?"
The young man suddenly looked innocent when he heard this, "No, it was reported from before. It's not me who wants to scold you, it's Wanbao Pavilion, Wanbao Pavilion is scolding you..."
Who are these people? Although it is noisy here, Lu Li's hearing is still good. He heard clearly what was said before. Unexpectedly, when it reached him, it turned into "Is he a monkey?" '.
Thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly felt a sense of evil, rolled his eyes, and suddenly turned around and shouted to the person behind him, "The brother in front said that Wanbao Pavilion called you pigs!"
"What!"
"Fuck you, it's too much!"
"Brothers, Wanbao Pavilion has gone too far to bully others. Let's all go together and demolish Wanbao Pavilion!"
"Demolish Wanbao Pavilion! Charge!"
"Charge the duck...!"
"...."
In an instant, the crowd behind them surged, and dozens of people rushed forward like a torrent. The people in front were pushed to the entrance of the hall before they could figure out the situation.
"Damn it, stop pushing!" Seeing that he was about to hit Wanjingshan, the person in front stopped immediately. This is a master of foundation building. Hey, don't be serious!
Wan Jingshan couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and took two steps back. At the same time, he pressed down on the crowd with a strong momentum. The noisy crowd suddenly felt numb and stopped involuntarily.
Wan Jingshan then regained his momentum and said loudly: "Everyone, we at Wanbao Pavilion have no intention of bullying others. The venue is really too small to accommodate so many people, so we made this decision. I hope you will understand."
Although most of the monks here are Qi-training monks, there are also foundation-building masters, and Wan Jingshan doesn't speak so forcefully.
To take a step back, even if they are all Qi-training monks, he cannot force them back by force. After all, Wanbao Pavilion relies on these monks. If this matter spreads, it will not only affect the Wushuang branch, but also the entire world. The reputation of Wanbao Pavilion will be affected.
Seeing that everyone still had no intention of retreating, Wan Jingshan sighed and said, "I know you are feeling uncomfortable. How about today, Wan will pay everyone some compensation out of his own pocket, and then you can disperse on your own?"
"What compensation?"
"Yes, what kind of compensation?"
After hearing that there was compensation, everyone immediately started making noise again.
Wan Jingshan stretched out his hand and pressed it down. After everyone was quiet, he continued, "Of course it will be compensation with spirit stones. Qi training is divided into four levels. The minimum compensation for each person is three hundred and the maximum compensation is one thousand two thousand.
Regardless of the level of the foundation building period, all will be compensated with 10,000 lower-grade spiritual stones, but there is a prerequisite that only fellow Taoists who come from other places can receive it! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly showed incredible expressions and expressed their agreement with Wanjingshan's compensation plan. Many people even said on the spot that Wanjingshan was very generous!
Among the crowd, Lu Li's eyes lit up, but the premise of coming from out of town was a bit difficult...?
