Chapter 154: Being ambushed



As a Chinese, one of my biggest pursuits in life is big. The house must be big, the car must be big, everything must be big, and the storage space must naturally be big as well.

Yuqiao Sanren looked back at the corpse on the stone bed and said to everyone, "Since this senior has no intention of letting us dig a pit to bury him, shall we go?"

"Yes, we have gained a lot from this trip. Let's go back to Jingtian City and sell these two martial arts techniques." Qingyangzi nodded and walked towards the exit first.

"Speaking of which, regarding these two sets of martial arts techniques, do you think we should sell them to Jinghu Academy, or entrust Jinghu Academy to auction them?" Yuqiao Sanren followed up and asked.

Auctions do not only happen on Earth, but there are naturally smart people in this world who know that good things will only be sold at high prices if more people see them. Therefore, auctions have also appeared in the world of cultivation. Some shops with profound heritage and strong backing will send out invitations every once in a while, inviting some prominent figures to participate in the auctions.

Some of the items in these auctions were collected by the shops during this period, and some were commissioned by the monks to be auctioned by the shops. Of course, the shops will take a commission from the transaction price, and the rules are similar to those on Earth.

Every time there is an auction, many monks with their own ideas or clear goals will gather at the auction. As long as the items are good, they can be sold at a higher price than a direct private transaction, because these good items may not be available to ordinary bidders privately.

There are several forces in Jingtian City that hold auctions, and the largest and best of them is naturally Jinghuyuan. They hold a small auction once a year and a large auction every three years. Things of ordinary quality simply cannot be included in their auctions. Of course, mid-level Xuan-level skills are certainly not included.

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

Tiezhen sacrificed the iron umbrella, and the twelve black pearls on the edge of the umbrella released a black light curtain, forming a passage surrounded by the light curtain, covering the entire cave passage, and then extending rapidly, leading straight to the swamp pool.

Although he also knew that the rules of Jinghu Academy were very strict, and that the mid-level Xuan-level skills should not attract people they could not deal with, the concept of not showing off one's wealth was almost engraved in his bones, and he was not used to entrusting good things to others.

However, if there really is an indispensable personal relationship, tell the other party and let them kill the client silently. With the strength of Jinghu Palace, of course, people outside will not be aware of it at all.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

As for whether Jinghu Academy would put these two sets of skills up for auction, that had nothing to do with them.

A large portion of the good things that Jinghu Palace and other forces put up for auction were purchased by themselves. Do you really think that those monks who sold things to Jinghu Palace don’t know that these things can be sold at a higher price if they are put up for auction?

Yi Ming curled his lips and said, "I suspect you are slandering me, but I have no evidence."

"If you want to get high returns, you have to bear high risks," said Yi Ming.

He would rather earn less but must ensure safety. However, if he entrusts the martial arts skills to Jinghuyuan for auction and displays them in front of all interested people, almost all of them may find out about him and others. For Yi Ming, this is almost the same as taking off all his clothes and walking on the runway.

Yuqiao Sanren nodded, then shook his head in annoyance. Last time it was Xu Dong's friendship, this time it was the reputation of Jinghu Palace. Each time he ignored the issue of safety, and his performance was not as good as Yi Ming, a younger man. Has he become stupid from practicing? "Okay, okay." Qingyangzi saw Yuqiao Sanren's annoyance and said with a smile, "We discuss the Dao and practice by Jinghu Lake all day long. The growth of cultivation depends entirely on hard work. It is normal that we don't have the kind of cunning minds that some cultivators have. Don't we have Brother Yi to fill in the gaps?"

This is a world where the law of the jungle prevails and there is no moral guilt for robbery.

"Although Jinghuyuan's commission is relatively high, it is safe and reliable." Tiezhen nodded, agreeing with Yuqiao Sanren's idea.

At this time, everyone had reached the end of the cave passage, and the bursts of white mist stimulated by the Thousand Illusions Spirit Controlling Array blocked all the silt at the bottom of the swamp pool outside.

But it would be different if they sold it directly to Jinghu Palace. With the payment and the spiritual stones in hand, Jinghu Palace would no longer have any need to sell them out. Could they get the spiritual stones back if they sold them out? Was Jinghu Palace a force that lacked those spiritual stones? So...

"Will there be any danger?" Yi Ming asked with a frown.

"We can't wait another year, right?" Yi Ming said with a blink.

"Why can't we wait a year?" Yuqiao Sanren was puzzled. They had enough spirit stones and were not in urgent need of money. The profit after a year might be 20% to 30% higher than if they sold it directly to Jinghuyuan. Couldn't such a good deal wait? "Hmm..." Yi Ming frowned. He always felt insecure.

"Of course Jinghuyuan..." Yuqiao Sanren stopped talking. He didn't even know there was any danger.

"I remember that the auction at Jinghu Courtyard was held not long ago, right?" Yi Ming thought about it. They visited Jinghu Courtyard a few days ago and seemed to hear the waiters in the courtyard still discussing the auction two months ago. It was said that a very powerful Xuan-level top-grade defensive magic weapon was sold, setting a record for the highest price of a defensive magic weapon.

They would rather earn less than gamble on that one in ten thousand probability.

As a result, the client, the auction house, and the bidders were all very satisfied, so the auction was naturally in full swing and had already spread to all major cities in Tianwu Continent.

"Forget it, let's just sell the things directly to Jinghuyuan." Qingyangzi made a decision, "This thing has some cause and effect with Huayuan Pavilion. Since we don't want to provoke Huayuan Pavilion, there is no need to take the initiative to put these two exercises on the auction and attract their attention."

He said this once when several people were preparing to go to Tongfeng City to help the Xu family. Then Xu Dong really broke his promise. After a big battle, although everyone was in danger of death and exhausted like a dog, they also harvested a small spiritual stone vein. Jinghuyuan is of course strict in rules and regulations, and generally will not disclose the information of the client.

It’s nothing, just safety and peace of mind.

"Let's go." Tie Zhen laughed, flew out first with an iron umbrella in his hand, and then everyone flew behind him and followed one by one.

But at the moment when everyone flew out of the swamp, Yi Ming's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Be careful!"

Qingyangzi had already summoned his flying sword the next moment after Yi Ming's expression changed. Tiezhen's true energy was also surging, and he was immediately ready to strengthen the black light curtain activated by the iron umbrella.

But he was still a step too slow. A huge seal with a diameter of nearly ten feet fell from the sky and hit the iron umbrella heavily!
