Jing Yue, Zheng Bai, and Gu Xia were standing at the market entrance of Jiutian Academy.

That's right, Jiutian Academy also has a market, and the early exchange meeting of the Cold Cloud Sect was learned from the academy market. At that time, there was a foundation-building disciple of the Minor Sect who graduated from the academy and returned to the sect, and created the exchange meeting on his own.

The academy market is more comprehensive than that of the Cold Cloud Sect. After all, the Cold Cloud Sect specializes in Dharma, and is not specialized enough in other arts.The students here are all foundation-building cultivation bases, and they are outstanding practitioners from all over the Qifang Realm, so there are naturally many good things.

There were people coming and going in the market, including many students from Yueying and Sun shifts. Some of them noticed Jingyue and recognized the ancestor of the Hanyun sect who caused a sensation on the day he was admitted to the hospital. They couldn't help but look more Two eyes.

Zheng Bai: "There are so many people, it's like a maze."

Gu Xia: "Old, Ah Jing, are you really planning to set up a stall here? The Cold Cloud Sect has more than a dozen shops in Le City, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to open a shop directly?"

"It's just a light-weight talisman, and it's too extravagant to occupy a store. Let's talk about it later." Jing Yue looked at the criss-crossing streets and alleys of the market, and said, "Let's go shopping first."

They didn't take two steps, and suddenly a person came forward: "Several juniors, do you need a guide?"

Several people were taken aback, what is a guide?

The visitors were small in stature and full of wit and vigor. Seeing their expressions, they guessed that it was their first time, and said with a smile, "The market in our academy is big and complicated. If you go shopping by yourself, you may be old." If you can’t find what you want to buy for half a day, it’s a waste of time.”

"And our guides have been in the market all year round. They are very familiar with the distribution of market stalls. They can quickly guide you to find your target and help you avoid various routines."

Gu Xia turned to Jing Yue and said, "I remembered. I heard someone said before that the guides in the market will take customers to the stalls they are familiar with. If the customers buy something, they will get a commission."

The little man looked upright: "Those are guides who have no integrity. How can I do such a thing with my character, Wang Xiaoli?"

Jing Yue: "Thank you, but we don't have any goals, so let's go shopping first."

They wandered all the way, and found that there are all kinds of objects sold in the market, and some stall owners can refine weapons, alchemy, and talismans for you according to your needs, which is novel and convenient.

The stall owners are also trying their best to sell and solicit customers. From time to time, you can hear the game between the customers and the stall owners-you sell poorly, I cry poor; you brag about the advantages, I find the shortcomings.

In short, it was very lively.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him, Jing Yue saw many people surrounded there, and said happily, "Let's go and have a look."

He always took advantage of the loopholes and quickly squeezed into the crowd.With Jing Yue leading the way, Zheng Bai and Gu Xia also squeezed into the front row smoothly. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads, both breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Jing Yue with even more admiration.

On the stand in front of him was a pair of soft armor, which was a low-grade spirit weapon.There are six black boxes in front of the soft armor, Jing Yue scanned them with his spiritual sense, but couldn't see anything.

Presumably the box is engraved with a formation, which can block the prying eyes of the spiritual consciousness.

"Junior Sister Jin seems to be determined to win, I'm afraid she has prepared a lot of spirit stones?"

In front of the stall, a male cultivator was smiling, but the Jin junior sister he was talking about was a woman dressed in jewels.The woman wears several Sumeru precepts on her hands, and even the hairpin on her head and the clothes on her body are spiritual weapons.

The woman smiled slightly, "This soft armor is just a low-grade spirit weapon, and it is worth at most thirty or forty thousand spirit stones. How much can I prepare? Brother Liu, I heard that you have received a powerful task recently and earned a lot, right?" ? It’s more than enough to buy a spirit weapon.”

The male cultivator twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't answer.

At this time, the stall owner opened several boxes, but the insides were empty. He showed everyone the inside and outside of the boxes, and said, "Everyone, let's start now."

As soon as the words fell, the man and woman who spoke just now, and four other people, each took a box, put a note into it, sealed the box, and put it back to the original place.

Jing Yue had never seen such a battle in his memory, and wondered, "What are they doing?"

It's a pity that Zheng and Gu, who are newcomers, are also at a loss.

"This is a secret auction, a major feature of our academy market, it is said that it was created by Mr. Luo Zhen."

Wang Xiaoli, who just tried to recommend himself as a guide, got out of nowhere and explained: "Every time there is a secret auction, the stall owner will prepare a number of bids and a few boxes. Put the estimated value into the box, and the stall owners will unify the box, and the one with the highest price will win. The loser will have to pay [-]% of the estimated value to the stall owner."

Jing Yue was taken aback, "Are you still there?"

Wang Xiaoli narrowed his eyes into slits with a smile, "Aren't I waiting to serve you?"

Jing Yue laughed, "I understand. Everyone who participates in the secret auction wants to buy the auction item at the lowest price, so they not only have to estimate the price of the item itself, but also guess the psychological price of others, and try to win the bid. Just a little bit more than them and be the highest bidder."

"That's exactly the reason!" Wang Xiaoli rolled her eyes, "I think the one who can get this spiritual weapon this time is Jin Baozhu. She comes from Ruyi Trading Company, and she knows how to read people's hearts since she was a child."

Zheng Bai took a deep breath, "Ruyi Trading Company? But that Ruyi Trading Company that sells talismans all over the Qifang Realm?"

"Yes."

Facts have proved that Wang Xiaoli's guess is very reliable. After the stall owner opened the box, Jin Baozhu got the spirit weapon at a price of 3 spirit stones, which is [-] more than Senior Brother Liu who ranked second. , the latter was so angry that he handed over the Lingshi and flung his sleeves away.

Jing Yue rubbed his chin, "Interesting." He said to Wang Xiaoli again: "You are also very interesting, so come with us."

Wang Xiaoli immediately beamed with joy, "Hey! Good!"

Jing Yue: "Is there anything interesting in the market?"

Wang Xiaoli: "Yes, there is another way to play luck, do you want to try it?"

Jing Yue didn't ask much, and said directly, "Let's go!"

Wang Xiaoli led a group of people walking through the streets, Jing Yue asked on the way: "If I also want to set up a stall, what should I do?"

"You have to go to the market management guild to register first, and you only need to pay the booth fee for the five spirit stones every day." Wang Xiaoli said: "By the way, if the younger brother sells special items, you can pay more for the five spirit stones to hang in the collection. on the list."

"There is a collection list at the entrance of the market in the southeast and northwest, which can display the function of the goods and the area of ​​​​the stall owner, so that people in need can find you faster, and it can be regarded as widely advertised."

Jing Yue nodded thoughtfully.

While chatting, they had arrived at a stall.

When the stall owner saw them, he immediately said enthusiastically, "Hey, it's the first time you're here, right? Little raccoon, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Wang Xiaoli simply said: "They are all juniors from the Xingxiu class. They want to gamble. Brother Jiang, don't lie to others later."

Brother Jiang: "Look at what you said, you still don't know what I am? I have always been fair and just, and no one deceives me."

Wang Xiaoli smiled, turned to Jingyue and said, "Look at the ten wooden boxes on the stand, each box is full of things, including spirit stones, medicine pills, spirit herbs, and all kinds of things. Valuable materials, of course, there is also a pile of broken copper and iron that I don’t know where to pick up.”

Jing Yue took a look, and sure enough, the contents of each box were almost overflowing.

Wang Xiaoli: "However, what we see is only the appearance, and we don't know what is in the box. Maybe there is a box full of waste products under the Lingshi Lingcao, or there may be a box of treasures under the broken copper, of course. , it is also possible that they appear to be the same.”

"In short, if you choose a box with a hundred spirit stones, whether you lose or win depends on your luck."

Jing Yue released his consciousness subconsciously, but found that there was also a formation on the box to block prying eyes.

He smiled and said, "This one is quite interesting, but how many of the ten boxes are worth more than one hundred spirit stones?"

Wang Xiaoli: "Five of them will make you lose money, and the total price of the other three will be equal to what you pay, but if you choose the remaining two, then you will make a sure profit."

Jing Yue turned around and asked Zheng Bai and Gu Xia, "Would you like to try?"

Zheng Bai, an African, said incredulously: "It's too expensive, and the chances are too small..."

Gu Xia also shook his head.

Jing Yue: "Then I'll try."

Brother Jiang immediately boasted: "Today, there are ten hundred pills in these boxes, as well as metal stones that can be used to refine magic weapons."

Jing Yue stared at him and gave him a slight smile, which immediately made him feel like he was being targeted by a wolf, but this junior brother's smile was obviously very pure...

"I want it."

Jing Yue pointed to the third box from the left, and it was piled full of black stones.

At that moment, Senior Brother Jiang's face flashed a flash of joy, he knew very well in his heart that this was the cheapest one among the ten boxes, and it only contained some plant ash.

Gu Xia was sensitive to his expression, and suggested to Jing Yue, "Do you want to look at the others?"

Jing Yue shook his head, a little excited in his heart, but said calmly on the surface: "No, I want this."

After all, he took out a hundred spirit stones.

"Good!" Brother Jiang took the Lingshi, gave Gu Xia a sneaky look, then waited secretly to appreciate Jing Yue's disappointed expression after opening the box.

When he saw that the box was full of plant ashes, there was a burst of boos from around, Senior Brother Jiang deliberately regretted: "Oh, this junior brother is unlucky today, he didn't choose Bailiandan and Wujinshi, why don't we have another set?"

Jing Yue smiled and said, "No need, there is nothing better than stars and sand."

Brother Jiang was taken aback: "Stars and gravel?"

"correct."

Jing Yue picked out a black stone, made a formula and chanted a mantra, and crushed the stone hard again, revealing the silvery white jade inside.

"Isn't that what it is?"

It turned out that Jing Yue had noticed from the very beginning that there was a black stone on the box wrapped with a star and sandstone.

The so-called star sandstone is actually a kind of extraterrestrial meteorite, which contains rich spiritual energy and can be refined into cinnabar, which is specially used for drawing symbols.

In the previous life, a piece of star sandstone the size of a fingernail was sold for tens of thousands of spirit stones, enough to describe ten thousand talismans.And the stars and sand in the black stone are the size of a fist, and the price is comparable to a treasure.

It's just that there is a restriction on the black stone, which obscures the spiritual energy of the stars and sand, making the pearl dusty.

"Star sandstone? What is that?"

Many onlookers have never heard of this name.

Jing Yue spoke in detail, and looked at Senior Brother Jiang with a smile all the time during the process, which made the other party almost faint.

Zheng Bai swallowed his saliva, "That is to say, ancestor, you used a hundred spirit stones to buy something worth a million spirit stones?"

He was so surprised that he even took the customary honorific title.

Jing Yue: "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang."

Seeing Senior Brother Jiang's eyes were red from holding back, he gave Wang Xiaoli another Lingshi in a vicious manner: "It's really hard for you today."

"Thank you, thank you..." Wang Xiaoli was so excited that his tongue was tied up, Mr. Qian!

Gu Xia and Zheng Bai were also very excited, looking at Jingyue, his eyes almost sparkled like stars - the ancestor really has eyesight, the ancestor is worthy of being the ancestor!

"Huh? Is he the old Brother Jing from the Cold Cloud Sect?"

"It's him. I met him on the day of the entrance examination. It was really spectacular! With him in the Cold Cloud Sect, his status can be stabilized for several generations. I'm afraid those sects that were just about to make a move..."

"Hehe, some sects are just whimsical."

"It turned out to be him, no wonder."

……

Many people realized it as soon as they heard the word Jingyue. Nowadays, there are very few people who don't know this name in Xiujie, but most of the outside world still don't agree with it.

Everyone's discussion was not small, Jing Yue felt a little ashamed, and hurriedly led others to try to retreat.

At this time, Senior Brother Jiang suddenly realized, and gave Wang Xiaoli a hard look. He knew that the latter was wronged!

Brother Jiang wanted to stop Jing Yue, but the stall was instantly surrounded by crowds, all clamoring to buy his remaining boxes.

Everyone expects to pick up big leaks like Jingyue - stars, sand and stones, what if there are still more?

Brother Jiang wants to cry but has no tears. Although his business is unprecedentedly good, why is he so aggrieved?

Afterwards, since Jingyue was followed by a group of people who wanted to pick up bargains wherever he went, he was really not in the mood to go shopping, so he simply asked Wang Xiaoli to take him to the market to manage the guild.

After Jingyue registered, he spent another five spirit stones to be listed on the goods collection list, and the product description he filled out was: light body amulet, ten feet from the ground, ten feet per step, and it will be sold tomorrow night.

The female nun in charge of the registration glanced casually, then raised her head suddenly, and said with a strange expression: "We have a rule here, if the item you sell is not the same as the description on the collection list, the customer can complain to you. At that time, you not only have to pay the guest compensation, but also have to accept the punishment of the guild."

In the first few years since the bazaar was established, there were some stall owners who used gimmicks to describe their goods indiscriminately in order to attract people, which caused confusion in the management of the bazaar. Later, the guild set up this rule.

The female cultivator thought that Jing Yue was also like this, so she reminded her beforehand.

"I see, thank you." Jing Yue said, "Don't worry, I didn't lie or exaggerate."

Seeing that he insisted on this, the female cultivator shook her head, gave him the number plate of the rental stall, and entered the light body amulet into the collection list. When she looked up again, Jing Yue had disappeared.

"Really, I didn't listen to what I said, and I will definitely punish you severely tomorrow."

She muttered, and someone next to her asked, "What's the matter?"

The female nun pointed to the information just entered, and the other party looked at it and sneered, "Let him go, he will regret it."

Another fatter monk also came over to take a look, and said, "Maybe it's true?"

The first two sneered, "How is it possible? Either he intends to make trouble, or he has hysteria, there is no other possibility."

The fat monk said: "But the person who registered just now is the ancestor Jing of the Cold Cloud Sect, you don't know him?"

The two of them choked immediately, not daring to speak any more.

At the same time, a new piece of news appeared on the collection list, which caused a burst of ridicule from the melon eaters.

"Yo, ten feet from the ground, one step at a time? Is this still a lightweight talisman? Isn't it the Feiyan Xiaobu of the Xuanyue Jiugong School?"

"Is it a mistake in the registration, or is someone bragging to the sky? How dare you come here to cheat and kidnap? I'll expose him tomorrow!"

"If you go to the other party, you will succeed. They just want to deceive you. The light-weight talisman is just a gimmick. He probably wants to sell something else. First, he will attract customers."

"It makes sense, don't go! Don't even go! Let him be smart and spend five spirit stones in vain!"

……

Anyway, no one took it seriously.
