Ten days later.
"Senior Wen, is this the Wind Cloud Chamber of Commerce's auction house in Jia Ning City? It is indeed very stylish! "
Looking at the tall building before him, Luo Ping looked around and found that the walls of the building were actually paved with the extremely rare 'Tricolor Stone'. Under the sunlight, the Tricolor Stone would change color every once in a while, giving people a different kind of visual enjoyment.
Although the Tricolor Stone was only an ordinary decorative material, because of its scarcity and harsh production conditions, its price had always been relatively high. Basically, a single Tricolor Stone could be sold for 20 low grade spirit stones.
There were at least a hundred thousand Tricolor Stones on the wall. If he calculated it this way, he would have spent at least two hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones.
200 mid grade spirit stones was enough to buy rank 5 spirit herbs. Just thinking about it showed the wealth of this auction house. However, this auction house was only one of the countless auction houses of the Wind Cloud Chamber of Commerce. Luo Ping didn't even dare to imagine how many spirit stones the Wind Cloud Chamber of Commerce had.
The Wind Cloud Chamber of Commerce was the same as the Thunder Crane Chamber of Commerce. They were two of the top three chambers of commerce in the Cultivation True Domain. Their power and strength were not any weaker than the top eight first class sects. In some ways, they were even stronger than the top eight first class sects.
"Of course, each of the top three chambers of commerce has its own characteristics. The Wind Cloud Chamber of Commerce's auction house is completely paved with Tricolor Stone. Although our Jia Ning City's auction house is only a white jade auction house, its style is not inferior to that of a fourth class sect."
Wen Liangzhou smiled and explained to Luo Ping.
"White jade auction house? Auctions are also divided into different levels? "
Luo Ping really didn't know. In the past ten days, Luo Ping had been in closed door cultivation in his room. After the previous battle, he had gained a lot, so he took this opportunity to consolidate it.
Seeing that Luo Ping didn't know about this matter, Wen Liangzhou explained again, "Of course, auction houses are divided into four levels. The lowest level is the Bone Ash Auction House, which is set up by some smaller chambers of commerce. They are mainly for cultivators below the Golden Elixir Stage. The value of the items auctioned are the lowest."
"Further up is the White Jade Auction House. The items they auction are of a relatively higher level. Most of the auction targets are below the Nascent Soul Stage. Occasionally, there will be Primordial Soul Stage participants. Auction houses of this level are usually established between the fourth and third class sects."
"Above the White Jade Auction House is the Jadeite Auction House, which is usually set up between the third and second class sects. Their auction targets are mainly cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage and the Longevity Stage. Generally speaking, these two levels of auction houses are the most numerous."
"As for the last level, it is the Diamond Auction House. Only cultivators of the Dongxu Stage can participate in this level of auction. The number of auction houses of this level is very small. They are all set up near the eight big first-class sects or some special places. Only the three chambers of commerce have auction houses of this level."
After listening to Wen Liangzhou's explanation, Luo Ping had a specific understanding of the situation of auction houses. It seemed that if one wanted to participate in a high-level auction, one must have a corresponding cultivation level. Otherwise, one wouldn't even be able to enter.
The world was so realistic and cruel. Without strength, without status, one could only move in the lowest circle and come in contact with the lowest level things. They would never know how wonderful and enjoyable the world was for those who stood at the top.
"Junior has really learned a lot from being with senior!" Luo Ping said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." Wen Liangzhou was also very happy.
Behind Wen Liangzhou, Shen Ke looked at Luo Ping with an unkind face. Seeing him talking and laughing with his martial uncle, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Especially when he saw that Luo Ping's cultivation level had risen from the Early-stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Middle-stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage in just ten days. He was very unhappy.
He had always been very satisfied with his cultivation speed. In the sect, his cultivation speed could definitely be ranked in the top three. For a long time, he had formed an arrogant attitude.
Now that he saw Luo Ping advancing so quickly, Shen Ke's self-esteem suffered a serious blow. He had secretly regarded Luo Ping as a thorn in his side and planned to get rid of him quickly. However, in front of his martial uncle and junior sister, he didn't dare to be so blatant. He could only wait for the right opportunity.
"Haha, so it's Brother Wen from the Vitality Sect. Please come in!"
At the entrance of the first floor, when Wen Liangzhou walked in with Luo Ping, Ting Qin, and Shen Ke, a man said heartily.
"Brother Jian, long time no see. Your cultivation has deepened a lot. Looks like we'll find a chance to exchange pointers again," Wen Liangzhou said.
"No problem. I haven't exchanged pointers with Brother Wen for a long time. My hands are a little itchy. Ah, hehe!"
Jian Xu smiled and looked at the three people behind Wen Liangzhou.
"This is Steward Jian of the auction house. Come and greet Senior Jian!"
Wen Liangzhou gestured for Luo Ping and the others to come forward. He pointed at Jian Xu and introduced him. When Luo Ping and the other two heard him, they quickly said, "Greetings, Senior Jian!"
"Haha, there's no need to be so formal. These three are …"
Jian Xu waved his hand and asked Wen Liangzhou.
"These three are my Martial Nephews. Ting Qin, Shen Ke, and Luo Ping. This time, I brought them out to gain experience. "
Wen Liangzhou introduced Luo Ping and the other two one by one. According to what he had discussed with Luo Ping before, he also said that he was his Martial Nephews. This way, he could reduce unnecessary trouble.
"So they're Brother Wen's Martial Nephews. The younger generation will surpass us in time. The auction is about to start. I think Brother Wen should go in first," Jian Xu said.
"Alright then. I'll go in first."
After Wen Liangzhou finished speaking, he led Luo Ping and the other two into the hall on the first floor. As soon as they entered the hall, Luo Ping began to look around. He found that the entire hall was very spacious. It could accommodate hundreds of people without a problem.
There was a table in front of the hall. There were many chairs in the center. They were divided into countless rows. At this moment, many people were sitting on these chairs. Almost all of them were resting with their eyes closed. They did not care about Luo Ping and the others entering.
Luo Ping looked up at the second floor. He found that there were many rooms on the second floor. The door of each room was open, but he could not see the situation inside. Luo Ping carefully released his soul sense to check, but he found that as soon as his soul sense touched the room, it was immediately devoured.
After trying several times in a row, Luo Ping was sure that the auction house must have set up a restriction in the room. As for the purpose, it should be to protect privacy.
"Ha, it turns out to be Brother Wen. Looking at Brother Wen's complacent look, you must be very confident in this auction. When the time comes, if Brother Wen and I fancy the same treasure at the same time, I won't give in."
Just as Luo Ping was observing the situation around, he heard a voice coming from beside him. He turned his head and saw a thin man in black sitting in a row of seats in front of him. He was looking at Wen Liangzhou with an evil smile.
"Fellow Gao, you don't have to give in because I won't give in to you either. Whether you can get the treasure depends on your strength. I hope Fellow Gao won't do anything secretly because you can't get it."
To Luo Ping's surprise, Wen Liangzhou, who had always had a good temper, did not speak politely to the thin man at this time. Moreover, he sounded very unfriendly.
"What are you talking about, Brother Wen? We belong to the same thirty-one branch area. How can I do anything secretly to you? I usually only assassinate those blind guys who go against me. I believe Brother Wen is definitely not that kind of person. Isn't that right, Brother Wen? "
The thin man's face was full of a sinister smile. There was a hidden meaning in his words. Although he looked harmless on the surface, Wen Liangzhou, who knew him well, did not buy it at all.
"Isn't it just a word from Fellow Gao? If you say yes, then yes. If you say no, then no. Does your sect need to care about other people's opinions when killing people?"
Wen Liangzhou said with a smile. He neither agreed nor denied it directly. Instead, he asked the other party and threw the problem to the other party to solve.
"Hehe, Brother Wen's words are reasonable. Come, Brother Wen, please sit."
The thin man smiled and pointed to the seat beside him, inviting Wen Liangzhou to sit. However, Wen Liangzhou did not sit. Instead, he left a sentence and led Luo Ping and the other two to the back.
"I don't have the fortune to enjoy it."
Looking at Wen Liangzhou's back, the thin man's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness. Then, he closed his eyes and waited for the auction to begin.
In the auction house, no one dared to cause trouble. After all, one had to look at the owner before beating the dog. Although this was an auction house branch of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, no one was allowed to behave atrociously. Otherwise, it would be a provocation to the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce.
There was once a cultivator who did not know what was good for him. He took the initiative to fight with his enemy in a white jade auction house. He broke the rules of the auction house and was immediately arrested by the experts of the auction house.
After that, no one saw him appear again. Everyone guessed that this person had been killed. Even his sect was quickly destroyed by an unknown expert. After that, almost no one dared to fight in the auction house.
"That is the elder of the Hidden Death Sect, Gao Jingfeng. He is ruthless and merciless. He kills without blinking. His assassination technique is very brilliant. Little Friend Luo, please do not provoke him."
Just as he sat down, Luo Ping received Wen Liangzhou's voice transmission. He told him about the situation of the person just now. Only then did he know that the other party was actually an elder of the Hidden Death Sect.
The Hidden Death Sect was the same as the Vitality Sect. They were both fourth-class sects and belonged to the thirty-one districts under the jurisdiction of a third-class sect. They knew each other well. However, unlike the Vitality Sect, who healed the wounded and rescued the dying, the Hidden Death Sect was good at assassination.
The disciples of the Hidden Death Sect all cultivated a secret technique to hide their aura. Unless the other party's spiritual sense was very strong, even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to detect their tracks, let alone attack them in advance.
The disciples of the Hidden Death Sect generally helped the surrounding cultivators to get rid of their enemies in exchange for spirit stones or other rewards. As long as they were paid, they would help you kill.
Of course, they would never fight a battle that they were not confident in. Before accepting the other party's reward, they would also consider whether the cultivation level of the person they wanted to kill was enough to deal with them. If they were not confident, they would never accept. This was also the reason why the Hidden Death Sect could survive until now.
Moreover, before they took action, they would spend a period of time tracking the other party to understand the other party's situation. They wanted to be able to kill the other party in one blow without leaving any traces behind.
The nearby sects had a love-hate relationship with the Hidden Death Sect. Only the Vitality Sect and the Hidden Death Sect did not see eye to eye. This time, when they met, Wen Liangzhou and Gao Jingfeng were still secretly competing with each other.
