Chapter 338 Blind Shooting
After wandering around for a while, Zhou Tieyi also found a good thing.
This is a fourth-grade divine artifact that is extremely damaged.
Taixu Illusion Land is the base camp of Shintoism, so although there are many Shinto items here, they are also extremely scarce.
For example, if you find a suitable subordinate god for a complete fourth-grade artifact, you will have the authority to smelt it. Those high-quality gods will collect and buy it as soon as possible, and it will not be lost in the market.
Only artifacts that are severely damaged, without even the dragon seal, or artifacts that have been contaminated by other powerful forces will end up in the market.
But Zhou Tieyi figured out a method that only he could use with this magic weapon, which was to use the magic weapon to rescue people, no, to rescue gods.
The artifact in front of him looked like a broken pagoda. The tower was majestic and engraved with layers of cloud scrolls. It should have been about nine stories high, but now the upper half was missing, leaving only the three floors of the lower half.
A deity belonging to the Tianyi Taoist lineage.
Zhou Tieyi made a rough assessment.
The Tianyi Dao lineage, as a Shinto branch evolved from Taoism, has more restrictions than other Shintoism, so the foundation of this kind of gods is cleaner. He also possesses the Tianyi Jade Disc, so he can be regarded as the heir to the entire Taoist tradition.
In the end, Zhou Tieyi exchanged three peach and plum fruits containing a dragon seal for this extremely damaged artifact. During this transaction, he did not use other treasures, but deliberately used peach and plum fruits, in order to spread the news that he owned peach and plum fruits to more people, so that more people would come to him to trade.
Anyway, the appearance of peach and plum fruits has changed a lot now, and no one can tell that the current baby-like peach and plum fruits are actually branches of the Confucian peach and plum tree.
After strolling around the market, the large trade fair that the panda mentioned began, and he took the three of them to a place to meet up with the others.
Although there are no restrictions on qualifications for this large-scale transaction, it is only relative.
The items traded there are all truly high-end items, which ordinary Taixu Illusion Surface holders simply cannot afford.
Therefore, the way Taixu Illusion Realm organizes this time is to allow those who are originally qualified to bring people in without limiting the number of people.
After arriving at the place, the panda took the lead in bowing to a man who was shrouded in mist and said, "Master Lian."
This was an important figure he knew, and he had met him several times in the real world.
Elder Lian's attitude was very good. Even though he was shrouded in mist, one could still make out his smiling old voice. "Who are these friends?"
Zhou Tieyi and the other two introduced themselves. Elder Lian didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Then let's go in together. There are many good things this time. Even I am jealous."
Several people entered a nine-story building. Just like the other rooms in the Taixu Illusion Realm, you couldn't feel the crowding in the building at all. Everyone entered this place with consciousness.
Because the few people arrived almost at the same time, the host came forward without waiting for a while.
"Everyone, today's transaction will be conducted through an auction. All the required items will be purchased directly with Grand Illusionary Coins. If you don't have enough Grand Illusionary Coins, you can take out items of equivalent value for direct appraisal and sell them to Grand Illusionary Realm in exchange for Grand Illusionary Coins."
The host pointed in front of him, where there were five Mist People sitting, "Don't worry, everyone, your items will definitely get the highest valuation in the Great Illusionary Realm."
Zhou Tieyi watched quietly. It was obvious that Taixu Illusion Realm had the intention of promoting Taixu Illusion Coins. Even for high-quality cultivation materials, Taixu Illusion Realm wanted to use Taixu Illusion Coins to settle the bill.
The host quickly moved on to the next stage.
“The first three items were auctioned blindly. To be honest, I didn’t even know what they were.”
The host smiled and said, "Now for the first item, the starting price is one Taixuhuan Coin."
Show confidence.
Zhou Tieyi easily figured out what Taixu Illusion was going to do.
The blind auction of these three items is to allow those who are brave enough to follow the path of Taixu Illusion to get a chance to make money. Otherwise, if it is purely for the purpose of making money, there will not be much meaning in holding this big auction.
Many people also reacted.
However, Zhou Tieyi was the first to call out a price.
"Five thousand Taixuhuan coins."
Taixuhuan coins are extremely valuable.
Three hundred Taixuhuan coins can be exchanged for a good fifth-grade spiritual material, and two hundred Taixuhuan coins can instigate someone to burn down a granary in Tianjing.
Zhou Tieyi shouted out five thousand Taixuhuan coins, which was close to the value of a third-grade spiritual material.
Many people who were about to raise their hands to bid cursed inwardly.
Although they also realize that this round of secret auctions in Taixu Huanjing is intended to let everyone pick up bargains, many people think that any profit is good, and it would be best if they could really get good things with one Taixu Huanjing coin, or even exchange three Taixu Huanjing coins for three good things.
But Zhou Tieyi's bidding directly caused most of the so-called smart people to withdraw from the bidding stage.
Many of them are really short of money, while others speculate that even if Taixu Illusion Realm wants to win people's hearts, the things it can offer should be around the third level. It is almost impossible to offer a second-level treasure. That is not called winning people's hearts, but stupidity.
After a moment of silence at the auction, someone tried to bid, "Five thousand and five hundred Grand Illusionary Coins."
Zhou Tieyi followed without hesitation, "Six thousand."
In an instant, even though everyone knew that they couldn't see each other's appearance through the mirage, many people still looked in Zhou Tieyi's direction.
This time everyone was silent for a long time, because this price was close to the price of a third-grade spiritual material. If they continued to raise the price, they would not make much money, and Zhou Tieyi might even directly trap them at a high price. In addition, there would be two more opportunities for secret bidding, so it would not be too late to see what the first item was.
The host watched this scene with a smile on his face. He had no intention of raising the price, because the three items auctioned secretly were meant to be profitable for everyone. Looking at Zhou Tieyi's expression, if he raised the price again, the item would probably be sold out. By then, the amount of Taixuhuan Coins bid would be higher than the value of the item, and the auction would not be able to stabilize people's hearts.
"Are there any guests here who would like to raise the price?"
After ten breaths of silence, the host asked.
Someone else hesitated and said, "Six thousand and one..."
Zhou Tieyi raised the price again without hesitation, "Seven thousand."
He himself doesn't care much about how much he loses or earns. Even if he loses, he can afford it. Moreover, he has another purpose for bidding so high.
After another ten breaths of silence, the host asked again, "This guest is really enthusiastic. Are there any guests who would like to increase the price?"
This is already a hint that the price Zhou Tieyi offered is high enough, so our own people should stop making trouble.
No one spoke this time.
The host smiled and said, "Seven thousand Taixuhuan coins, congratulations to this guest for winning this treasure."
After saying this, he dispersed the first of three circles of fog in front of everyone.
It was a flag, in the shape of a square with six tails. The flag was pure black with golden patterns outlining a reclining Buddha statue. The flagpole was pure gold and the base was carved with blooming lotus petals. Around the flag, illusory golden lotuses bloomed along with the mirage.
“Third-grade Buddhist artifact!”
Everyone instantly recognized the origin of this treasure.
Big profit.
Many people who did not bid felt a little regretful in their hearts.
Zhou Tieyi didn't show much joy, but just said softly, "Not bad."
He even suspected that Taixu Illusion Realm had taken the initiative to replace the first blind item.
Auctions are rigged too much and too easily.
It just depends on what purpose the auction wants to achieve. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many legends of finding bargains at auctions.
Zhou Tieyi's calmness attracted more people to take a second look at him.
Then Zhou Tieyi took the initiative to walk to the front of the stage and in front of the five foggy people, "I want to exchange the real thing for the Taixuhuan Coin."
This is the reason why he dared to bid so high. Since Taixu Illusion Realm wanted to show their strengths in this large-scale auction, Zhou Tieyi would take the opportunity to show off his peach and plum fruit and spread the fame of peach and plum fruit, so that he could exchange for the artifact more efficiently.
He directly materialized a white peach-plum fruit. "This fruit contains one or two dragon seals. The specific type of dragon seal is completely random. After taking it, as long as the person is not ridiculously stupid, he can quickly comprehend the dragon seal. How much is it worth?"
One of the Mist People said solemnly, "I have seen this kind of strange fruit."
Zhou Tieyi had previously offered peach and plum fruits as sacrifices through the Grand Illusion Realm. This exotic fruit had never appeared before, and the high-level appraisers of the Grand Illusion Realm had naturally come into contact with it privately and personally appraised it.
A thousand-year-old clam pearl, containing a dragon seal, costs about three hundred Taixuhuan coins or more.
In a good market, it is normal to sell 350 Taixuhuan coins.
Treasures that can enhance strength have always been the most expensive of their kind, and it is normal for them to double or triple in price.
The mist man hesitated for a moment. "In terms of market price, if it is a single dragon seal, then 700 Grand Illusionary Coins is a reasonable price. But if it contains two dragon seals, the price will be completely different. Do you know how many dragon seals are contained in this fruit in your hand? Can you tell what type of dragon seal it is?"
The meaning of the dragon seal alone and the meaning of two dragon seals connected together to form a Taoist scripture are completely different.
Many people have individual dragon seals, but are unable to connect them to form two or more dragon seals.
Once two or more dragon seals are formed, warriors can cultivate corresponding combat skills. Other schools also have corresponding spells or methods.
Therefore, the value of the dragon seals combined together is far greater than that of a single dragon seal.
Zhou Tieyi answered decisively, "I don't know."
Of course he knew. How could Taodu Weng not know that he had grown his own fruits?
But auctions can be held in blind auctions, and Zhou Tieyi can also hold a blind auction.
I just want to tell you that if you win the grand prize of my fruit, your money can be doubled, so come and buy it!
Zhou Tieyi didn't wait for the Mist Man to discuss, and said, "The price is one thousand Taixuhuan coins each, a total of ten, do you want to accept it?"
Without waiting to discuss with the others, the Mist Man decisively said, "Collect!"
