After a year of accumulation, Yan Zhaoge actually had quite a bit of stock on hand. Still, he did not intend to release them immediately.
After the first auction had been completed, Xiao Ai announced the closure of the pavilion.
Those who wanted to stay for tea were all received.
Still, the treasures could no longer be sold.
Most people felt rather unresigned.
Since they were unresigned, they had to think of ways to make up for it.
Everyone reserved their number plates for the second opening a month later.
Those who had gained something today were no exception. After all, they could only buy three things at a time.
"Reservations are currently not accepted," Xiao Ai smiled, "Reservations are made ten days before the pavilion opens. Please come back early next time."
Hearing her words, everyone felt rather dissatisfied.
Xiao Ai did not panic as she said slowly, "Please forgive us if we are lacking in our hospitality."
They all left angrily. The feeling of having money in their hands but nowhere to spend it was naturally very bad.
Yuanzhou City was a renowned major city of the central Jun Heaven Territory. It was extremely prosperous as most major powers had businesses stationed there.
Yan Zhaoge would naturally not sit by and watch as his money that could have flowed into his pockets went to spend on the goods of others.
Having received his instructions, Xiao Ai had long since arranged for people to secretly spread the news after the guests had left.
For the sake of fairness, openly cutting the queue and taking care of others would naturally be prohibited.
Still, the Lord of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was fond of befriending those of the same dao. As the Pavilion Lord's personal friends, they would naturally have some secret privileges.
The Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion had a special token plate for identification …
You should know what that meant.
Most of the people who heard the news immediately understood what was going on.
It was just that in order to prevent people from maliciously obtaining the token plate, there were naturally many checks and restrictions on one's qualifications. For example, one had to attend at least a few public auctions on the first of each month.
Everyone's imagination ran wild for a time as they looked forward to the second opening of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion on the first of the next month.
At the same time, they all began secretly inquiring about how they could obtain a token plate.
After closing the pavilion, Xiao Ai reported the situation of the transactions to Yan Zhaoge in the back hall.
"Young Master, it is just as you expected. Other than a few people from the Tiger Leaping Peak's Luo Clan, most people use two of the three quotas to purchase other items, while the last is reserved for purchasing Internal Crystal Furnaces.
Impending Rain Plate, Heaven Fleeing Seven Rotation Talisman, and other treasures were good, but most of them could only be used once or had a limited number of uses.
The Internal Crystal Furnace, on the other hand, was different. For many small to medium sized forces, or even some medium sized forces other than Wind Thunder Manor, this was a treasure that could be passed down as the foundation of their sect.
Unsurprisingly, the Internal Crystal Furnace was the most sought after item.
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "It is to be expected. It is not that the Tiger Leaping Peak's Luo Family does not want the Internal Crystal Furnace. It is just that they want to control the outflow of the Impending Rain Plates as much as possible. Therefore, they have used up all three quotas for the Impending Rain Plates today."
"Young Master, the people from the Tiger Leaping Peak's Luo Clan are indeed brilliant." Xiao Ai smiled as she handed over a jade slip. "I'll give you a complete set of array formations from my sect in exchange for a token."
Qiu Jiahai asked, "What formation?"
"I think it's called the Celestial Parting Harmony Light Formation," Xiao Ai replied.
"Oh? While it is only ranked lower amongst the Tiger Leaping Peak's Twelve Formations, being able to be ranked amongst them, it can already be considered a top-tier formation. " Qiu Jiahai evaluated, "Junior apprentice-brother Yan, while you have the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, the requirements for setting up the formation are really too strict. This Celestial Parting Harmony Light Formation is a pretty good complement."
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "I've let senior apprentice-brother Qiu down. I also have more formations than just the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."
"We'll have to wait and see then," Qiu Jiahai smiled.
"Still, this Celestial Parting Harmony Light Formation is also not bad. It can be used as a trading partner to exchange for other things." Yan Zhaoge received the jade slip from Xiao Ai's hands. "Since the Luo Family is willing to hand it over, they must have been mentally prepared for it."
"I can give them a token plate. Still … it's the lowest grade kind."
Yan Zhaoge smiled very unscrupulously.
Qiu Jiahai sighed, "Other businesses have many methods as well. Still, they are unable to achieve such smooth sailing as you, junior apprentice-brother Yan."
"Many methods are just icing on the cake," Yan Zhaoge said nonchalantly. "At the end of the day, it is our goods that are good. This is our confidence. With this confidence, we will be able to multiply our gains by playing these little tricks."
"Young Master, we set the price with a conscience this time. While we earned a great deal, we did not earn our fill ah," Xiao Ai said rather regretfully.
Yan Zhaoge tapped her forehead lightly, "Look far ahead, little money-grubber. There will come a time when your hands cramp from counting money."
He waved the jade slip in his hand, "Isn't this it? This is just the beginning. "
The token plates that were distributed at the start were all of the lowest grade.
There was nothing to be afraid of when it was low. They could slowly rise up, couldn't they?
How could they rise up?
Everyone understood …
The Tiger Leaping Peak's Luo Family desired a token plate, even if it was of the lowest grade.
A very important reason was that those who possessed a token plate would no longer be limited to just three at a time when purchasing the treasures of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion.
Of course, it was still not an unlimited supply. Still, the upper limit was still higher than three no matter what.
To the Tiger Leaping Peak's Luo Family, a treasure like the Impending Rain Plate was not just useful to them. It could also greatly increase the strength of their martial practitioners.
From another perspective, if other powers possessed a large amount of Impending Rain Plates, they would be able to offset the advantage of the Luo Family in terms of formations to a great extent.
The Luo Family had many enemies as well.
"Xiao Ai, I'll leave this place to you from now on. You should grasp your own limits. It is fine even if you make a slight mistake. You just need to remember a general principle, "Yan Zhaoge instructed Xiao Ai," Look far ahead. Influencing the hearts of people is currently the most important thing. "
"If people constantly think about the monthly opening of our Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. With them truly putting in their heart on this matter, the thoughts of others will gradually fade away. As this goes on, we will be able to take the lead."
Yan Zhaoge laughed very shamelessly, "Our things are good, but it is not to the point where everyone will definitely have to buy them. Still, if we work on the hearts of people, they will always think about our things. The things themselves will become secondary as the matter of buying them is their true obsession. Once done, it will be equivalent to fulfilling a wish. Only then will they be able to sleep soundly. Otherwise, they will always be thinking about our opening next month."
The public opening of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was mostly at a fair price.
Yan Zhaoge's true source of income actually lay in the secret token plates. That was the main source.
Still, in order to nurture people's interest in the token plates, the greater the number of people who could be seen publicly, the better.
Only in this way could the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion have influence.
Only in this way could the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion become a symbol of status, causing more people to flock to it like ducks.
Very quickly, a month passed. The much anticipated second opening of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion finally arrived.
This time, there was something that left the customers dissatisfied.
One of the most popular products of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion, the Heaven Fleeing Seven Rotation Talisman, had been halved from last time.
Very quickly, however, their attention was drawn away by something else.
This time, the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was selling a new treasure, a treasure that had not been available the first time it had opened.
