Zhang Xiaosheng drove for more than two days without any delay, and finally arrived at Huanyue City at dawn. Settling down ten miles outside the city, looking at the city in the morning light, different from the towering sky of Tiandao City and the majestic momentum of Shendan City, the first impression of Huanyue City is more mysterious and hazy. .
It may be related to the slightly dim light at this time, or it may be related to the three sects that established Huanyue City.
The Xianle Sect has a sound wave technique that is rare in the world of immortality, and most of its subordinate sects also have the same.
The Fianyu Sect is also a rare first-class high-level sect with dual cultivation of law and body. The disciples of the sect have dual attributes of wood and earth, and all have superb arrow skills. The earth attribute arrow method is thick and powerful, while the wood attribute arrow method is elegant and light. Moreover, the Fianyu Sect also has a technique that specializes in body cultivation, called the Mist Step, which makes its disciples' body shapes more unpredictable in the forest and doubles the power of their arrow techniques.
The Huaqing Sect is more complicated and mysterious. Although its sphere of influence is not as large as that of the neighboring two, the Huaqing Sect does not have any subordinate sects. The entire area is occupied by this sect. All the second-rate sects around it were destroyed. It is to be annexed and dispersed to join the sect. This situation is unique in the world of immortality.
Therefore, the disciples in the sect learn a variety of things, including medicine cultivation, alchemy, weapon refining, formations, talismans, and even animal taming and other immortal cultivation arts. Although any one of them is not as good as the peak of the specialized sect, they are all quite proficient in it. The gate is divided into six courtyards. The eastern Canglong courtyard belongs to wood, the western White Tiger courtyard belongs to metal, the northern Xuanwu courtyard belongs to water, the southern Suzaku courtyard belongs to fire, and the central Qilin courtyard belongs to earth. Above the courtyard.
In the map slips of Guan Fuzi, there is another description of the Huaqing Sect: This sect is both good and evil, and should not be easily provoked. The leader of the clan, Li Zitang, is at the peak of his Nascent Soul strength. Because the exercises he practices are extremely mysterious, he will turn back into a child and grow up again every hundred years. Therefore, his age is unknown, and his strength will be slightly weakened during the period of regrowth.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng set a twelve-word policy for himself when entering Huanyue City: don't cause trouble, don't be afraid of trouble, buy things, and return to the sect!
Determined not to join in the fun!
There was no entry fee for entering Huanyue City. You should know that this was a considerable amount of income, but none of the three sects seemed to care. Zhang Xiaosheng secretly praised it. Although he lost the income from the entry fee, But it caused more people to flow into the city. Looking at the hustle and bustle at the gate of the city, I know that many people would rather travel a little longer to trade in Huanyue City rather than go to nearby markets. After all, the prices for sales in the big city are more reasonable, and safety is guaranteed, which is unmatched by other markets.
Entering the city, Zhang Xiaosheng looked around. Before he had taken a few steps, he quickly approached a middle-aged man from the seventh floor of the foundation. He had a beard, a Chinese character face, and was dressed in ordinary but neat clothes.
"I dare to ask if this senior has come to Huanyue City for the first time. The younger one is Huanyue City's contact number 999. He is responsible for answering questions for the monks entering the city."
Although Zhang Xiaosheng looked young and had no aura, this middle-aged man's eyes were so vicious. At a glance, he knew that the person coming was luxuriously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing. He must be something more than simple. Zhang Xiaosheng was also caught off guard by the call of "senior" who had no psychological barriers.
Seeing that the other party seemed a little confused, the middle-aged man said again:
"Senior, don't worry, we are an organization entrusted by the joint control of the three major sects in Huanyue City. Here is the proof." After saying that, he took out a jade pendant and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. Sure enough, there were three sects engraved on it, and there were also What an official tour guide.
"In order to ensure that all fellow Taoists who come here are happy, Huanyue City has arranged for juniors and thousands of other people to answer questions full-time. Seniors, don't worry, it's all free of charge."
Zhang Xiaosheng frowned slightly, this Huanyue City... is not simple, you must know that free things are the most expensive.
Sure enough, the next moment, the middle-aged man said again:
"If the senior is just here for fun, the junior will be responsible for showing you the way until the senior leaves without charging any fees. But if the senior wants to sell, buy or exchange something, the junior will have to charge one thousandth of the transaction fee. For consultation fees, of course, there will be no charge for less than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
Zhang Xiaosheng secretly admired that he really knows how to do business. One thousandth doesn't seem like much and is easy for people to accept. But if he opens a big business, it will be enough for these people for a long time. After all, it is not possible to come to such a big city without spending money. Very possible.
"I wonder... what should I call this person?" It didn't seem appropriate to call him Taoist friend, and it didn't look right to call him "little friend." Zhang Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment and couldn't think of a suitable title.
"Senior, just call the smaller number 999." The middle-aged man quickly replied, already accustomed to it.
"..."
"Lead the way, let me give you a brief introduction first." Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't look directly at the number 999. If he hadn't known that this was not a TV series, he would have thought that Gan Gan Ling placed his advertisement here.
The middle-aged man bowed slightly and walked half a step to Zhang Xiaosheng's right, and briefly introduced some basic information about Huanyue City from time to time.
In fact, such large cities have complete functions and goods, and there is basically no big difference. There are only some common regulations, such as the prohibition of fighting, the prohibition of flying at high altitudes below the Nascent Soul stage, taxation for setting up stalls, and beatings for free prostitutes.
But when it came to the auction house, Zhang Xiaosheng's eyes lit up.
"As for this auction house, it is the most unique one in Huanyue City." The middle-aged man said with a proud look on his face:
"Auction houses in other cities will charge a fee when entering, but our Huanyue City is different. There is no fee to enter, but you need to show your purchasing ability to enter different levels of areas. If you don't like any items in the auction house, go out Only then will you need to pay the entry fee in accordance with regional standards, and as long as you gain something, the entry fee will be waived."
After saying this, the middle-aged man blinked and said:
"The entry fee depends on the area you enter. The minimum is 20 low-grade spiritual stones. However, the cheapest items sold there only cost 5 low-grade spiritual stones, so generally no one will pay the additional fee."
When Zhang Xiaosheng heard this, he was greatly impressed. This trick is really wonderful!
Divide the areas where customers enter based on their purchasing power to avoid wasting time and energy by going to high-end auctions with few spiritual stones, or not being able to buy what they want at low-level auctions with too many spiritual stones, which will affect the experience. , and wasted consumption power.
As for the cheapest item being a five-quick, low-grade spiritual stone, it is a complete gimmick. It has greatly grasped everyone's greed for cheap. They always think that I can just go in and buy something with a five-quick, low-grade spiritual stone. But you must know, This is only the price of the lowest level area. Naturally, other higher level areas cannot only have five low-grade spiritual stones.
And as long as you go in, how many people can really make money? Attracting a large number of people in is a huge increase in popularity. With the herd mentality, how can business be bad?
"Of course, there are also areas with very high fees. Because the items auctioned are very precious and different every day, many monks who can come to this area buy some rare items, but they may not be able to encounter them even in ten or eight days. , having to pay an entry fee every day is a big loss, so Huanyue City Auction House has added new discounts in order to take care of everyone's feelings. For those whose entry fee is more than fifty middle-grade spiritual stones, monthly tickets will be sold. The price is only fifteen times that of a single day, and you can participate in a thirty-day auction, and the most important thing is: there is no time limit!”
Monthly ticket! ! !
The business methods of Huanyue City are really getting better and better, and they even have a membership discount system like this!
It seems like it has cut the cost in half for many people, but is there really anyone who would wait thirty days for the same thing? Or did you rush in to participate in the thirty-day auction without any news?
Besides, if these people are really here to wait for valuable things, if they wait for three or four days, then they will naturally leave this place quickly. Where will they continue to stay with valuables? It depends on whether there are any remaining games. Fate and opportunity come again. There may even be situations where there is no need to come back, but thinking that there are still more times at the auction here, they make a special trip to avoid wastage. Since they have made a special trip to come back, how can they just take a look, and the purpose of bringing back the flow has been accomplished by the way.
How similar to the annual gym membership in my previous life! ! !
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng's interest greatly increased. Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder if the auction house has all the items and what are the prices?"
The middle-aged man straightened up slightly and said rather proudly:
"Excuse me for being bold, junior. As long as it is available in other stores in Huanyue City, the auction house has it. If other stores don't have it, the auction house also has it. Although the price is a little higher, it is better because the categories are complete. It saves money. Saved the trouble of running around.”
Zhang Xiaosheng was delighted. This was in line with his purpose. The price was not much higher, but it was mainly to save trouble.
"Then go to the nearest auction house."
"Okay, senior, please come over here." The middle-aged man smiled brightly. It seemed that he was not just for fun, but for shopping. He went directly to the auction house. He didn't think about searching for anything. Today's trip was really interesting. Bentou.
Zhang Xiaosheng followed the middle-aged man and chatted casually for a few more words. He also became more and more admired by the three sects in Huanyue City. Many business methods have the shadow of the previous life. Although Zhang Xiaosheng, a non-professional, They all seem a little immature, but that's because they were influenced by it in the previous life, and the entire concept is much more advanced than here, so many seemingly backward ideas are already dazzling enough in this world of immortality.
Both of them were not slow. They arrived in front of a huge building complex in about half an hour. The middle-aged man said respectfully:
"Senior, this is Huanyue Chen's branch in the west of the city. Although it is not as grand as the main store, the goods sold are basically the same. Even if there are any missing ones, they can be quickly transferred from the main store."
"..." Even regional stores have coordinated shipments, and Zhang Xiaosheng was speechless again.
Looking at the endless crowds around him, Zhang Xiaosheng sighed again, business is really good, and then walked towards the entrance.
