Jingyue, Zheng Bai, and Gu Xia are standing at the entrance of the market of Jiutian Academy at this time.
That’s right, Jiutian Academy also has a bazaar, and Cold Cloud Sect’s early exchange meeting was learned from the academy’s bazaar. At that time, the civilian sent a Zhuji disciple who returned to Zongmen after graduating from the academy and created the exchange meeting.
The Academy Fair is more comprehensive than Cold Cloud Sect. After all, Cold Cloud Sect specializes in Dharma, and it is not specialized in other arts. The items traded between disciples are not as rich and high-quality as in Academy. The students here are all ground-building practitioners, and they are outstanding practitioners from all over the seven realms. There are naturally many good things.
There were people coming and going at the market, including many students in Moon Shadow and Japanese shifts. Some of them noticed Jingyue and recognized the ancestor of Cold Cloud Sect who caused a sensation on the day of admission, and couldn’t help but watch two more. eye.
Zheng Bai: "There are so many people, the cultivation is like a maze."
Gu Xia: "Lao, A Jing, do you really plan to set up a stall here? Cold Cloud Sect has more than a dozen shops in Lecheng. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to open a store directly?"
"It's just a light charm. It's too extravagant to occupy a store. I'll talk about it later." Jingyue looked at the criss-crossing market streets and said: "Walk around first."
They didn't take two steps, and suddenly someone came up: "Several brothers, do you need a guide?"
How many people are all taken aback, what is the guide?
The visitor is small and smart. Seeing their expressions, they guessed that it was the first time they came. He smiled and said, "The bazaar in our college is big and complicated. If you walk around by yourself, you may be old. I couldn't find what I wanted to buy for a long time, wasting my time."
"And our guides have been in the market all year round, and are very familiar with the distribution of market stalls, which can quickly lead you to find your goals and help you avoid various routines."
Gu Xia turned to Jingyue and said, "I remember, I heard someone say before that the guides in the market will take the guests to their familiar stalls. If the guests buy something, they can get a commission."
The little man looked righteous: "Those are guides with no integrity. How can I do such a thing with my Wang Xiaoli's character?"
Jingyue: "Thanks, but we don't have any goals, so let's go shopping by ourselves."
They wandered all the way and found that there were all kinds of items sold in the market, and some stall owners could refine tools, alchemy, and talisman specifically for you according to your needs, which was novel and convenient.
The stall owners are also eager to sell and solicit customers, and from time to time I can hear the game between the guests and the stall owners-you sell badly, I cry poor; if you boast the advantages, I look for the shortcomings.
All in all, it is full of excitement.
Suddenly, there was a noise in front of him. Jingyue saw that there were many people there, and said, "Go, go and see."
He has always taken advantage of the loopholes, and soon squeezed into the crowd. With Jingyue leading the way, Zheng Bai and Gu Xia also squeezed into the front row smoothly. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. The eyes looking at Jingyue were even more convinced.
A pair of soft armor was placed on the stall in front of him, which was a low-grade spiritual weapon. There are six black boxes in front of the soft armor. Jingyue swept away with his spiritual sense, but couldn't see anything.
Presumably the box is engraved with the formation, which can block the prying eyes of the gods.
"Junior Sister Jin seems to be determined to win, I'm afraid I have prepared a lot of spirit stones, right?"
In front of the stall, a male cultivator seemed to be smiling, but the sister Jin in his mouth was a woman dressed in jewels. The woman wore several Xumi Rings on her hands, and even the hairpin on her head and clothes on her body were spiritual weapons.
The woman smiled slightly, "This soft armor is just a low-grade spiritual tool, which is worth 30,000 or 40 thousand spiritual stones at most. How much can I prepare? Brother Liu, I heard that you have recently taken on a powerful mission and made a lot of money. Is it more than enough to buy a spiritual weapon."
The man pulled at the corners of his mouth and did not answer.
At this time, the stall owner opened several boxes, and they were empty inside. He showed the boxes inside and out again, saying: "Everyone, let's start now."
As soon as the voice fell, the man, the woman and the other four people who spoke just now took out a box each, stuffed a piece of paper into it, sealed the box, and put it back in place.
Jingyue had never seen such a battle in his memory, and wondered: "What are they doing?"
Unfortunately, Zheng and Gu, who had just arrived, were also at a loss.
"This is a secret shot. A major feature of our Academy Fair is said to be created by Lord Luo Zhen."
Wang Xiaoli, who was just trying to recommend himself as a guide, got out of nowhere and explained: "Every time a secret auction, the stall owner will prepare a different number of auction items, and prepare a few boxes. The guests only need to compare themselves to the auction items. The estimated price is put into the box, and the stall owner will open the box uniformly, and the higher price will get. The loser will have to pay 10% of the estimated price to the stall owner."
Jingyue was taken aback, "Are you still there?"
Wang Xiaoli smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Am I waiting to serve you?"
Jingyue was pleased, "I understand that everyone involved in the secret auction wants to buy the auction item at the lowest possible price. Therefore, they not only have to estimate the price of the item itself, but also guess the psychological price of others, and strive for only Be a little bit more than them and become the highest bidder."
"That's the truth!" Wang Xiaoli's eyes rolled, "I think it is Jin Baozhu who can get this magical weapon this time. She comes from Ruyi's business, and she knows how to observe her words and colors since she was a child, and secretly grasp the hearts of people.
Zheng Bai took a deep breath, "Ruyi Firm? But the Ruyi Firm that sells Talismans in Qifangjie?"
"Yes."
Facts have proved that Wang Xiaoli’s guess is very reliable. After the stall owner opened the box, Jin Baozhu received the spirit weapon at the price of 32,000 one hundred spirit stones. She was one hundred more than the second-ranked Senior Brother Liu. , So angry that the latter handed the Lingshi and left.
Jingyue touched his chin, "Interesting." He said to Wang Xiaoli again: "You are also interesting, so join us."
Wang Xiaoli smiled suddenly, "Hey! Great!"
Jingyue: "Is there anything interesting at the market?"
Wang Xiaoli: "Yes, there is another way to bet on luck, do you want to try it?"
Jingyue didn't ask too much, and said directly: "Go!"
Wang Xiaoli took a group of people along the streets and alleys. Jingyue asked: "If I want to set up a stall too, what should I do?"
"You have to go to the market management guild to register, and only pay for the Wulingshi booth fee every day." Wang Xiaoli said: "By the way, if the junior brother sells special items, you can pay more for the Wulingshi to hang in the consignment. On the list."
"There is a collection list at the entrances of the southeast and northwest of the market, which can display the functions 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 a public announcement."
Jingyue nodded thoughtfully.
During the chat, they have reached a stall.
When the stall owner saw them, he immediately said with enthusiasm: "Oh, silly face, will you come back first? Little raccoon, don't you introduce?"
Wang Xiaoli simply said: "All the juniors from the Stars Class, they want to take a gamble, Brother Jiang, don't cheat others later."
Senior Brother Jiang: "Look at what you said, you still don't know who I am? It has always been fair and just, young and honest."
Wang Xiaoli smiled and turned to Jingyue and said, "Look at the ten wooden boxes on the stall. Each box is full of things, including spirit stones, pill, spirit grass, and various valuables. The materials, of course, there are also a pile of broken copper and iron that were picked up from nowhere.
Jingyue took a look, and sure enough, the contents of each box were almost overflowing.
Wang Xiaoli: "But, what we see is only the appearance, we don't know what is in the box. Maybe there is a box full of waste under the Lingshi Lingcao, or maybe there is a box of treasure under the broken copper and iron, of course. , It is possible that they are the same on the outside."
"In short, if one hundred spirit stones choose to take a box, it depends on your luck."
Jingyue subconsciously released her divine consciousness, but found that there was also an array of isolation and prying on the box.
He smiled and said: "This is also 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 three will be equal to what you paid, but if you choose the remaining two, you won't lose money."
Jingyue turned around and asked Zheng Bai and Gu Xia: "Are you trying?"
The African Zheng Bai didn't believe in himself: "It's too expensive, and the chances are too small..."
Gu Xia also shook his head.
Jingyue: "Then I will try."
Senior Brother Jiang immediately boasted: "Today, there are ten hundred alchemy pills in these boxes, as well as metal stones that can be used to refine magical tools."
Jingyue stared at him with a light smile, and immediately made him feel as if he was being stared at by a wolf, but this junior’s smile was so pure and pure...
"I want it."
Jingyue counts the third box to the left, which is full of black stones.
At that moment, a flash of joy flashed across Senior Brother Jiang's face. He was very clear in his heart that this was the lowest value of the ten boxes, with only some plant ashes in it.
Gu Xia perceives his expression sensitively and hints to Jingyue: "Would you like to look at other things?"
Jingyue shook his head, feeling a little excited, but on the surface he said calmly: "No, I want this."
After all, take out a hundred spirit stones.
"Hao Le!" Senior Brother Jiang took the Lingshi, secretly gave Gu Xia a blank look, and then secretly waited to appreciate Jingyue's disappointed expression after opening the box.
When he saw that the box was full of plant and wood ash, there was a booing sound around him. Senior Brother Jiang deliberately said with regret: "Hey, this junior is not feeling lucky today. I didn't choose the hundred alchemy pills and the hardware stones. Would you like to come again?"
Jingyue smiled and said, "No, there is nothing better than celestial sandstone."
Senior Brother Jiang was startled: "Stars and gravel?"
"Yup."
Jingyue picked out a black stone, pinched the tactics and chanted the spell, and then crushed the stone with force, revealing the jade with silver light inside.
"Isn't that it?"
It turned out that Jingyue had noticed from the beginning that there was a black stone on the box wrapped in a star sandstone.
The so-called celestial sandstone is actually a kind of meteorite from outside the sky, which is rich in spiritual energy and can be refined into cinnabar, which is specially used for painting amulets.
In the previous life, a piece of celestial sandstone the size of a fingernail sold for tens of thousands of spiritual stones, enough to describe ten thousand amulet. The celestial sandstone in the black stone is the size of a fist, and the price is comparable to a treasure.
However, there is a restriction on the black stone, which conceals the aura of the stars and gravel, making the pearl dusty.
"Star gravel? What is that?"
Many onlookers have never heard of this name.
Jingyue spoke in detail, and always looked at Brother Jiang with a smile during the process, and the stimulus almost made the other party pass away.
Zheng Bai swallowed his saliva, "In other words, ancestors, you used one hundred spirit stones and you bought a million spirit stones?"
He was so surprised that he even took the honorific title of habit.
Jingyue: "I still want to thank Brother Jiang."
Seeing that Senior Brother Jiang was so red, he gave Wang Xiaoli another spiritual stone in a wicked way: "It's really hard for you today."
"Thanks, thank you..." Wang Xiaoli was so excited that his tongue was knotted.
Gu Xia Zheng Bai was also very excited, the eyes staring at Jingyue almost flashed out of stars-the ancestor really had a vision, the ancestor is indeed an ancestor!
"Huh? Isn't he the old brother Jing of Cold Cloud Sect?"
"It's him. I saw him on the day of the hospital examination. It was really spectacular at the time! With him in the Cold Cloud Sect, his status can be stabilized for several generations. The previous sects who were ready to move are afraid..."
"Hehe, some schools are whimsical."
"It turned out to be him, no wonder."
...
Many people understand it as soon as they hear the word Jingyue. Nowadays, few people in the cultivation world don't know the name. It's just that most of the outside world still doesn't face it.
Everyone's discussion was not small, Jingyue heard a little ashamed, and quickly led people to try to retreat.
At this time, Senior Brother Jiang suddenly realized that he gave Wang Xiaoli a fierce look, and he knew that the latter was wronged!
Brother Jiang wanted to stop Jingyue, but the stall was instantly surrounded by the crowd, clamoring to buy his remaining boxes.
Everyone expects to be able to pick up the big leak like Jingyue-star sandstone, what if there is more?
Brother Jiang wanted to cry without tears. Although his business is unprecedentedly good, why is he so aggrieved?
After that, as there were a group of people who wanted to pick up the bargain where Jingyue went, he was really in no mood to stroll around, so Wang Xiaoli simply asked Wang Xiaoli to take him to the market management guild.
After Jingyue registered, he spent five spirit stones to be listed on the collection list, and the product profile he filled in was: light charm, ten feet off the ground, ten feet away from the ground, and it will be on sale tomorrow night.
The female nun in charge of registration first glanced at random, then raised her head suddenly and said with a weird expression: "We have rules here. If the goods you sell don’t match the description on the collection list, customers can complain to you. At this time, you not only have to pay the guest compensation, but also accept the punishment of the guild.
In the first few years of the market’s establishment, there were some stall owners who used gimmicks to describe the goods in order to attract the flow of people. This led to chaos in market management. Later, the guild established this rule.
The female cultivator thought Jingyue was the same, so she reminded beforehand.
"I see, thank you." Jingyue said, "rest assured, I did not lie or exaggerate."
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, the female repairer shook her head, gave him the number plate of the booth, and entered the light charm into the collection list. When she looked up again, Jingyue was gone.
"Really, I didn't listen to what I said, I must punish you severely tomorrow."
She muttered, someone next to her asked: "What's the matter?"
The female cultivator pointed at the information that was just entered, and the other party looked at it and sneered: "Let's go with him, he regrets it."
Another fatter monk also leaned over and took a look, and said, "Perhaps it is true?"
The first two sneered at their nostrils, "How is it possible? Either he is deliberately making trouble, or he has hysteria, there is no other possibility."
The fat monk said: "But the person who registered just now is the old ancestor of Cold Cloud Sect, you don't know him?"
The two of them choked immediately and dared not say anything.
At the same time, a new piece of news appeared on the collection list, which aroused ridicule from the crowd.
"Oh, ten feet off the ground, one step one foot? Is this still a light talisman? Isn't it the Feiyan small step from the Xuanyue Nine Palace Sect?"
"Is the registration wrong, or is someone blowing it up to the sky? How dare you come here to cheat and kidnap him? I'll go and break him tomorrow!"
"If you go to the other party, you will succeed. They just want to lie to you. The light charm is just a gimmick. What he wants to sell is probably something else, so he will attract customers first."
"It makes sense, don't go! Don't go anymore! Let him be wise, a five-spirited stone!"
...
In short, no one takes it seriously.

Jingjing: There is always someone in the comment area calling you Yan Qinzhi.
Rouge: My name is Qin/Yanzhi, Yanzhi, a famous sword in ancient times. There are records in "Guangya·Shiqi", He Duan Snake, Fish Intestine, Chun Hou, Cai Yu, Zulu, Qian Sheng, Mo Yang, and they are also called famous swords. Who is Yan/Qin Zhi?

By the way, checked, Yanzhi actually means blood, beauty, and red... and the little angel said that Rouge was called Yanzhi before.
Well, the name sounds as good as Jiji.
