The last time the Secret Pavilion opened its doors, more than half of the people had returned empty-handed.
Those who had gained something also felt dissatisfied and unhappy.
Everyone was unwilling to accept this outcome.
But actually, if one were to say that he was deeply worried, that might not be the case at that time.
The reason for that was because it was still unknown whether or not the treasures of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion were truly that great.
Although the onsite inspection confirmed that the treasure was real due to its overflowing spiritual energy, many people were not sure if it was as effective as the legends said.
After all, it was a treasure that had been lost for a long time. He had never seen it before.
Most of them were consumables. No one was rich enough to try out such a costly item.
Over the past month, many people had been waiting for news. They wanted to see if the treasure produced by the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was as powerful as the rumors said.
Coincidentally, someone did experience it personally and spread the news.
Of course, that was actually a shill that Yan Zhaoge had long since prepared …
In short, there were some brave men who used the Heaven Fleeing Seven Rotation Talisman and successfully escaped from the encirclement of a group of enemies by moving through the void.
Furthermore, treasures like the Internal Crystal Furnace and Spirit Divinity Heavenly Brew were also convenient to use.
Therefore, the final result was clear at a glance.
Anything produced by the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries was bound to be of high quality.
Those who bought it were satisfied, while those who didn't were envious.
That was why everyone was so dissatisfied when they heard that the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries wasn't increasing the number of treasures it was selling. Instead, it was decreasing the number of items it was selling.
This was within Yan Zhaoge's predictions, but he was not worried.
There were quite a few good things on hand, but Yan Zhaoge would definitely not release them all at once.
As time passed, he would reveal something new from time to time. Only then would he be able to ensure that others would be interested in him in the long run.
It might seem shocking to have everything prepared in one go, but it was actually unnecessary.
As most of the items sold by the Secret Pavilion were lost to time, the Secret Pavilion had already released many good items in one go when it officially opened. The effect of attracting attention and attention had already been achieved.
Any more would only result in overflowing, which would be a waste.
Continuously weeding through the old to bring forth the new, continuously advancing to new heights. Not only would this continue to create attraction for the Pavilion, but it would also continuously raise the expectations of others. This would allow the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries to gain a deeper impression in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, when the pavilion opened for the second time, although they were initially dissatisfied that the number of Heaven Traversing Seven Rotation Talismans had been reduced by half, the enthusiasm of the crowd was even greater.
This was because the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries had released a brand new treasure.
Paper Substitute.
Its effect was to bear the brunt of the attack when the owner was attacked by an attack that would cause damage to the owner.
Before using it, he had to prepare a substitute item. When he was attacked, even if he didn't notice it, the substitute item would automatically react and block the attack for him.
The Substitution Paper Dolls were not omnipotent. They could be neutralized by others.
However, generally speaking, it would not be difficult for an enemy who could break through the Substitution Paper Doll to kill the owner of the treasure.
Therefore, this treasure was primarily meant for martial practitioners below the Immortal Bridge Martial Saint realm to be used against opponents of the same cultivation level.
When facing opponents of the same level, it was indeed very effective.
It was especially effective when used to deal with sneak attacks and ambushes. This was because the treasure would automatically take effect without the need for the owner to notice the enemy's sneak attack.
In some critical moments, this might be a life-saving move, or the key to turning defeat into victory.
In fact, if the enemy did not know about the existence of the Substitute Paper Dolls, they might even fall into the trap.
Compared to the Heaven Traversing Seven Turns Talisman, it was not as flexible, but it was good for dealing with sneak attacks.
After all, the Heaven Traversing Seven Rotation Talisman was a treasure that required its owner's own will to use.
"It's on purpose, right?" Everyone gradually realised, "No wonder the Heaven Traversing Seven Turns Talismans were sold less than half this time. It was to make room for these Substitution Paper Dolls, right?"
While their effects were different, comparatively speaking, these two treasures were both protective treasures.
"How could that be?" Xiao Ai smiled, answering, "Our pavilion is indeed lacking in Heaven Traversing Seven Turns Talismans this time. It is precisely because of this that we have specially released the Substitution Paper Dolls for you to choose from."
Someone questioned, "While these Substitution Paper Dolls are good, they will be depleted as soon as they receive an attack. If they are depleted by a deceptive attack beforehand, wouldn't it be a complete waste? If that's the case, isn't it a little flashy but impractical? "
"That's not the case." Xiao Ai imitated Yan Zhaoge, raising a finger and shaking it lightly, "The Substitution Paper Dolls will only automatically take effect if the owner is unaware of it and unable to react in time."
If the enemy was still able to deceive the Substitution Paper Dolls into attacking while being ambushed, that would be equivalent to alerting the owner of the treasure, making the sneak attack meaningless.
Also, when facing an enemy, the owner of the treasure would be able to control whether or not the Substitution Paper Dolls would be effective.
If the owner of the treasure was deceived by the enemy, there would naturally be nothing to complain about.
At the end of the day, people controlled treasures, not treasures controlled people.
"Oh, if that is so, this treasure is indeed extraordinary …" Hearing Xiao Ai's explanation, the person who had doubted her earlier nodded slightly.
Still, before he could continue, a voice called out from the side, "I want three of these Substitution Paper Dolls!"
Regaining his wits, that person could not help but curse inwardly as he hurriedly said, "I want three Substitution Paper Dolls too! Err … no, I want two Substitution Paper Dolls and an Internal Crystal Furnace! "
Everyone was jubilant once more. Thus, the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion's business continued booming.
It was just that with the limited supply, there were still some who were happy while others were worried.
On the first day of another month, the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion opened for the third time …
"There are no more Substitution Paper Dolls?" Everyone looked quizzically at Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai said apologetically, "Our pavilion currently has no more Substitution Paper Dolls. We are currently making preparations. Perhaps we will have some next time. I hope that everyone will be magnanimous enough to forgive us."
Everyone felt a slight sense of loss within their hearts.
The few who had bought Substitution Paper Dolls previously felt incomparably fortunate.
Meanwhile, most of those who had not bought them felt exceptionally upset.
Even the various other treasures before them were no longer so alluring as they could not compare to the Substitution Paper Dolls that they had just passed by.
While they were currently within the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion, some people were already thinking about the next opening of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion.
At that time, would there be Substitution Paper Dolls again?
"Junior apprentice-brother Yan, is there really no more?" Qiu Jiahai secretly asked Yan Zhaoge about this in private.
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "Of course there is."
Qiu Jiahai pointed at him, unable to speak as he only managed to say after a long time, "What an unscrupulous merchant!"
"Xiao Ai, remember, do not supply anything similar to the Substitution Paper Dolls this time to those who have obtained a 'yellow' token plate. Keep your mouth shut and speak the same. Just say that there are currently no more in stock." Yan Zhaoge completely accepted Qiu Jiahai's mockery before continuing to guide Xiao Ai, "Treasures are a privilege that only holders of token plates of higher grades can enjoy."
"These are all privileges, and also have to be graded. This way, the higher the grade, the more valuable it is. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Xiao Ai answered without hesitation. Her two big eyes seemed to have two huge copper coins flashing in them.
After the third opening of the pavilion, there were finally quite a few people who had more or less managed to purchase treasures from the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion.
However, the fourth opening of the pavilion was instead more anticipated by everyone.
Therefore, everyone waited and waited. The day that happened once a month finally arrived once more.
On the first day of another month, everyone was in high spirits. Yet, in the end, they discovered that the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion had actually not opened this time!
This bastard had skipped his ticket!
