Chapter 41 Encounter
The carriage came out of the imperial city and arrived at the eastern part of the inner city of Longdu.
I heard from Bai Rongxuan that there is the largest auction house in the country in the East District.
The reason why the auction house is the largest is that it is officially run.
These days, no matter how big the business is, I'm afraid it is not as high as the prestige of the country.
There are a large number of materials circulating there every day. As long as you have money, you can buy everything there.
As the center of the Tianji Dynasty, Longdu has such a place that is in line with his identity.
Liu Xialailong has been here for a long time, but he has always been here in the future.
When the carriage stopped, someone called over.
Liu Xia and Dabao went straight to the shopping scene.
After getting out of the car, Liu Xia found that there was a street full of people and shoulders.
Many people set up stalls on both sides of the street, with various materials.
And Liu Xia found that the people who come in and out of here are the Onmyoji, and the big Onmyoji can be seen everywhere.
I heard that the transaction volume of elixirs here accounts for half of the country.
It can be said that this is the paradise of Onmyoji.
Liu Xia is wearing regular clothes today. She is young, and she has just come to Longdu. She is still a strange face.
Although people only know the name of Prince Weiyuan when they became famous in World War I yesterday, few people have really seen the true face of Liu Xia.
Therefore, there is no big treasure in the crowd.
Unfortunately, the shops and vendors along the street are selling some goods on the market.
Among them, it is mainly ordinary materials and various elixirs to restore spiritual power.
If you want to get high-end goods, you still need to go to the auction house.
Following the crowded crowd, Liu Xia finally arrived at their destination - Wanliu Commercial Bank.
Unlike other auction houses, there are officers and soldiers guarding outside this auction house.
As soon as Liu Xia entered, a clerk came over and bowed his waist and said, "Master, today's auction starts at 4 p.m. Do you want to get the number or look at the catalogue of today's auction?
"I'll buy some materials."
After saying that, Liu Xia took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, "Please, little brother."
The guy opened it and took a look, which was a little difficult.
"Master, we have most of the materials you want, and the rest, I'm afraid it's a little expensive. Are you sure? If you are sure, I will place an order for you. You can pick it up tomorrow."
The guy laughed in a hurry.
At this moment, Liu Xia saw the billboard in the store, and there were six auctions today.
From scarce materials, elixirs, weapons, magic weapons, skills, to antiques, it is really dazzling.
And the price of these things is scary.
A fairy-level magic soldier is actually priced at three million taels of silver. If it is auctioned, it is estimated that the price will be higher.
As for the skills, the price is even more terrible.
The price is often more than one million taels or even seven or eight million taels.
It seems that there are indeed many rich people in Longdu.
At this time, Liu Xia found a spiritual cultivation skill in it, called Soul Eater Palm, with a price of more than 5 million taels, which is a waste grade.
Since the cultivation has stepped into the master level, as a cloud seal of the Hong stage skill, it has been a little weak.
It's time to learn something new, but the price is really outrageous.
Liu Xia now has only 20 million taels of belongings. She thinks she is already a rich man, but when she comes here, she suddenly feels like a poor man.
The skill level of heaven and earth is unique. The level of flood is the supreme skill, especially the level, which can be encountered but not sought.
According to reason, this price is not too much.
After all, a first-class sect has such a barren skill, which is enough to dominate one side.
"What do you like here? If you need it, the small one can arrange a number for you, and you can attend the auction on time. It's just that some asset collateral is needed.
The man was very winked and said with a hurried smile.
It is also reasonable to mortgage assets. In case you bid a long price and you don't buy it yourself, isn't it a trap for the auction house?
Liu Xia is hesitating, which is not a small expense.
At this time, a man in his thirties who had been in the store before seemed to see this skill.
He had the mark of the Great Onmyoji on his chest, and he shouted, "Man, give me a number."
Liu Xia was slightly stunned and couldn't help looking back at him.
This person's figure is moderate, his cheekbones are slightly bulging, and his clothes are not very particular, but he didn't expect that he would be so generous.
Five million taels is not a small amount.
The man obviously knew this master and hurriedly smiled respectfully, "Okay, Master Zhang, please wait a moment."
"Why doesn't this person use asset collateral?"
Dabao asked curiously.
"He is the famous Master Zhang of Longdu, known as Zhang Shengshou. Naturally, there is no need to mortgage.
The guy explained.
At this moment, the yin and yang master surnamed Zhang looked at Liu Xia disdainfully. Obviously, he said, boy, don't look at it randomly if you don't have money.
That's called a show.
"Dude, help me order the materials. I'll pick them up tomorrow. Do you need a deposit?
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"Well, this is the first time the store has dealt with you. These materials are very valuable. Do you want to keep more?"
The man laughed.
"How much is this material in total?"
Liu Xia asked.
"It's about more than 7,000 taels."
The man took the abacus and said with a smile.
Liu Xia was a little stunned. These materials were only about 5,000 taels of silver in other places.
"Why is it so expensive here?"
Liu Xia muttered and thought to herself that she was at least an yin and yang master, and this little money still needed to be earned through alchemy.
Then he asked curiously, "Do you accept elixir here?"
"Oh, uncle, if you have a good elixir, we can turn it into cash."
At this time, Liu Xia took out an exorcism elixir she had refined.
This elixir belongs to the third order, and one is about more than 100 taels.
At this time, another man hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Liu Xia's cultivation is naturally clear.
It is said that he can't take his elixir.
"This uncle, I'm really sorry. I made a mistake just now. We can't take this elixir.
Liu Xia was slightly unhappy.
His elixirs are quite good. Each of these elixirs has a heavenly pattern, and the price should be high. If it's in other places, they all rush to ask for it, but they don't accept it here.
"Why is this? Is it because the quality of my elixir is not good?
"Sir, don't get me wrong. Do you dare to ask if you have the certification of the association?"
"Certification?"
"Yes, if you want to sell elixirs, you must pass the certification of Longdu Onmyoji Association. Otherwise, with our vision, we really can't tell the truth from the false.
Liu Xiayi thought so. The price of elixir is not high. If it is good, the auction house will indeed suffer.
With that, Liu Xia took out the Onmyoji logo that Tianyuan gave him a way."Well, this man, this doesn't work."
"Why, isn't it certified by the Onmyoji Association?"
"Yes, but we only accept the certification of Longdu Onmyoji here."
"This is strange. Can the Onmyoji Association in Longdu look down on people?"
Liu Xia said disdainfully.
"Sir, this is not our rule. It's useless for you to shout at me."
The man said in a embarrassment.
As soon as Liu Xia heard it, they were just servants, so they took out the silver ticket first and said, "This is the deposit. You can order the materials for me first. I'll come back after I certify in a few days.
At this time, the Zhang on one side came over and said with a cold smile, "In the real year, I really dare to go to the Longdu Onmyoji Association for anything."
In the tone, there is contempt.
"How do you talk?"
When Dabao heard this, he couldn't help saying angrily.
"I'm just telling the truth. Just rely on you two country kids?"
Liu Xia was very unhappy when she heard this.
"What's wrong with the country boy?"
"No, man, tell your boss that you are not allowed to take their elixir. Even if you have passed the certification, I will let you sell all of them! If you despise my Longdu Onmyoji Association, I will let you suffer.
After saying that, he went away.
Just as Dabao was about to chase him, Liu Xia grabbed him.
"Alas, what's wrong with you today?"
Dabao asked doubtfully.
This obviously does not belong to Liu Xia's style.
At this moment, Liu Xia walked to the counter and smiled awkwardly, "Second brother, who is this person?"
The clerk in the store looked around and whispered, "This uncle, you don't know anything. The one just now was Zhang Shengshou, the master of Onmyoji. All materials and elixirs in Longdu must be certified by the Onmyoji Association before they can be sold. Originally, this was a good thing, but this group of people monopolized our supply of goods from then on. If it is not purchased through them, it is illegal.
"No, isn't this an official industry?"
"Hey, the Onmyoji Association has a huge power and strong assets. No one can be afraid of three points. I don't know about other places, but here, people have the final say.
Xiao Er said this, so he didn't dare to say it again.
This is the collusion between officials and businessmen, otherwise how can it monopolize the market with the help of an Onmyoji Association?
"Thank you, little brother."
Liu Xia went out of the door after saying that.
"Let's go to the Onmyoji Association. I'd like to see how arrogant they are."
Liu Xia said thoughtfully.
Liu Xia had never been in contact with the Onmyoji Association before.
There are branches everywhere. Tianyuan is the director of the Northwest Branch. Liu Xia has a very good impression of this Onmyoji Association.
But recently, this incident made Liu Xia inexplicably angry.
Obviously, it is the Onmyoji Association here that monopolizes the elixir and materials market in Longdu. No wonder the price of materials here is ridiculously high.
The price of elixir is also ridiculously high.
Liu Xia also knows that the price of Longdu is high, but an ordinary elixir costs three taels of silver, which is too tricky.
Liu Xia is really stingy. She is unhappy to think that she will spend so much money in the future.
"Calm down, the water here is very deep."
Dabao hurriedly persuaded.
It can monopolize the whole industry, which is obviously operated by someone behind the scenes.
Liu Xia has provoked a lot of people recently, and Dabao is naturally a little worried.
After all, the court is not a world.
"What the hell, the sky has collapsed and someone is holding it. What was that product just now?
"Zhang Shengshou!"
"If he is arrogant, I will break his hand. Let's go."
After saying that, Liu Xia and Dabao went to the Onmyoji Association.The Onmyoji Association is not officially run, but a purely like a sect.
In other places, the Onmyoji Association is responsible for the certification of Onmyoji, and Onmyoji is proud of the certification.
Once certified, the elixir refined by yourself is also guaranteed, and it is more reassuring for others to buy it.
But the association here is very evil.
If you don't recognize the association certification of other places, you need to control the Longdu Onmyoji. In this way, the Onmyoji can only go to his association to certify and be in line with him.
This makes Liu Xia even more angry.
