Qingle looked at Gao Xian with a complicated expression, which made Gao Xian a little confused.
"how?"
"I saw three words on your face."
"Um?"
"I have money!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gao Xian laughed. He held Qing Lesu's hand and pulled her to his side. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If the other party really raises the price, I won't buy it."
He was very disdainful of Wanbaolou's use of agents to raise the price. However, this is the rule of the game. If others are willing to use tricks, they are not forcing you to buy. If you think it is too expensive, you can refuse it.
The Great Five Elements Extermination Divine Sword, just by hearing the name, you can tell that it is related to the Great Five Elements Sect. For this reason, Gao Xian is willing to pay more spirit stones.
Of course, he has a price bottom line. If the other party is unreasonable, then he won't want it.
He has no shortage of magical weapons, but he doesn't know how long it will take to refine the five magical swords in his hands. Even if he were given a powerful magical weapon, he wouldn't be able to use it for the time being.
For cultivators, the more artifacts the better. Even spiritual artifacts require a long time to refine before they can be controlled as desired.
At the Nascent Soul level, having two or three divine tools is basically the limit. He also has a strong spiritual consciousness, so he can control a few more divine tools. However, the more the better is not necessarily true.
With Qingqing beside her, Qingle was a little embarrassed to get close to Gaoxian. She rolled her eyes at Gaoxian and sat down next to him, "It's good that you know what's going on."
Gao Xian asked casually, "Do you know Fan Qingyuan?"
"I've never seen her, but I've heard a few things about her. This woman has been in charge of Wanbaolou for two hundred years. Her business is very prosperous and she is very capable."
“I see…”
Gao Xian fell into deep thought. Qingle's words aroused his interest. If Fan Qingyuan was really greedy for money but very capable, he would actually be a good candidate for cooperation.
To be honest, his own progress in cultivation was too slow. Of course, with the Fengyue Baojian, he would make progress every time he cultivated, and would never regress.
Even if he doesn't have any spiritual light, it won't be difficult for him to achieve enlightenment and become a god if he keeps moving forward step by step.
The problem is that without the blessing of human spiritual light, he may not be able to master the secret art of Tai Chi Xuanguan Wuxiang Shenyi even if he practices for ten thousand years.
There are also various secret arts such as the Taishi Ou Shen, Thunder and Lightning Sutra, etc., all of which are extremely powerful. Without the blessing of these secret arts, there would be no difference between him and the cultivators of the same level.
As the secret technique continued to upgrade, the amount of human spiritual light consumed was increasing. It was too slow to promote it by just relying on him.
Fan Qingyuan likes money and fame, so we can cooperate. With his current wealth, it is no problem to spend 10,000 or 20,000 top-grade spirit stones for promotion, as long as it works.
Ten or twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones, converted into low-grade spirit stones, is one or two trillion. This number is actually exaggerated. Even if one spirit stone is subsidized for each book sold, one or two trillion copies can be sold.
Wanbaolou's sales channels are spread across all major cities in Mingzhou, and can at least reach the major cities presided over by Jindan cultivators.
There are 1,200 Jindan-level cities in Wanfeng County, and Mingzhou has at least 30,000 to 40,000 cities of this level. Each city can accommodate at least one million cultivators. How many potential users are there! Jin Dabao and his ilk are too useless, so we still have to find someone like Fan Qingyuan. This auction is an opportunity, but he can't be a fool.
In order to promote the book, he had to write a picture book that was suitable for everyone. It was so interesting that people would not want to put it down! Gao Xian casually asked Qing Le, "What book do you think everyone would like to read?"
"The books you write are actually very interesting, but some of them are too profound and the expressions are too obscure, which affects the reading experience."
Qingle quite likes Gao Xian's picture books. Apart from those useless romantic stories, she can usually see new things and find interest in the stories.
She said seriously: "In fact, if you want others to like it, it is not enough to just be interesting and coquettish. For the lower-level monks, the most important thing is the inheritance of secret methods.
"If you put a powerful and simple method of dual cultivation in the book, everyone will definitely read it..."
"Ah! Yes, that's how it should be..."
There was a divine light gleaming in Gao Xian's star-like eyes. Qing Le's words really woke him up. What the low-level cultivators in this world lacked the most was the inheritance of secret techniques, so they could only learn some low-level secret techniques that were sold out, such as the Five Elements Kung Fu!
If he could add a simple but powerful dual cultivation method to the picture book, all the low-level practitioners would definitely buy it and read it. Moreover, after buying it, they would have to practice it in practice. Isn't this his goal!
He had never thought of this before, but was constrained by the sect's thinking. He felt that the secret method must be passed down in an orderly manner and must not be messed up.
There was another problem. The Hehuan Sect's dual cultivation method was not selling well... When he was collecting Pegasus, he bought a copy, but basically no one was interested.
After all, such low-level spells are not known to be true or false. Even if you practice them, they are useless.
So, he never thought about it in this regard.
As a Fengyue master, he was very accomplished in dual cultivation magic, and he also reached the master level in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, including the Five Elements Qigong.
Using the two methods as the foundation, I wrote a picture book on dual cultivation, making the practice simple and refined to the extreme, so that everyone can understand it and practice it. Wouldn't it be wonderful!
Gao Xian thought of the millions of low-level practitioners practicing dual cultivation with his book. What a magnificent sight it would be. It could also effectively increase the birth rate, which would benefit the entire human race! It would be a great achievement.
Gao Xian patted Qingle's shoulder vigorously, "You are really my lucky star! Just tell me what you want, and Master Gao will pay for it today!"
Qingle didn't know the word 'pay the bill', but she understood what Gao Xian wanted to express. She smiled and said, "You are so happy, you really want to write a book about the method of dual cultivation to sell!"
She actually still didn't quite understand this. It was normal for Gao Xian to like fame, but it was not normal for him to be obsessed with selling books.
As the author of erotic picture books, this kind of work did not bring him any positive reputation.
Many people look down on Gao Xian, mostly because he likes to write romantic picture books. Romantic things are liked by everyone, but they are not considered elegant.
Gao Xian said seriously: "You don't understand this. No matter how great a feat one has, it is not as profound as art.
"The reason is very simple. No matter how great the achievements were, they were in the past. Those who have not experienced them personally will find it difficult to understand. The emotions brought by art are real. Thousands of years later, I can still leave my name in the world with these works. However, not many people will know about the peerless masters today..."
Qingle shook his head disapprovingly, but did not refute Gao Xian.
Yuanying Zhenjun has a long life, so it is normal for him to have some hobbies to kill time. If there is no fun in life and he just practices every day, what is the meaning of living?
The auction has already started at the central auction table. The host is a beautiful lady in a blue long dress. She has a mature and generous temperament and a soft and mellow voice.
This female cultivator seemed to have practiced some kind of secret voice technique. Her voice was very charming and she could naturally attract everyone's attention as soon as she opened her mouth.
The auction prepares an auction list in advance, but the auction order is not fixed.
The lowest starting price is a third-level artifact, and items of lower levels are not eligible to appear in the auction. Xuanming City is the center of Mingzhou, and there are at least 1,000 or 2,000 Yuanying Zhenjun. There are more than 100 Yuanying Zhenjun who came to participate in the Dao test this time.
At least more than a thousand Yuanying Zhenjuns gathered in the hall. Of course, most of them were in the private rooms. Apart from the Yuanying Zhenjuns, the rest were almost all Jindan. The foundation-building level cultivators were extremely rare.
Gao Xian was well-informed, but this was the first time he had seen so many Yuanying Zhenjuns. The purchasing power of such a group of people was quite amazing.
Each of these top-quality treasures can be auctioned at a very high price.
"Three Huangting Enlightenment Pills, fourth-grade divine elixirs. The starting price is thirty top-grade spirit stones."
The beautiful auctioneer opened the jade box, and three red pills were displayed on the water mirror. The pills were magnified nearly a hundred times, and circles of exquisite and dynamic pill patterns could be seen on them.
"Huangting Enlightenment Pill can trigger the spiritual power of heaven and earth and allow cultivators to enter a state of emptiness and clarity. It plays a huge role in breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation..."
The beautiful auctioneer said loudly: "This pill was personally identified by our sect's Grand Master of Alchemy, Zhenkong Daojun, so there is absolutely no mistake. Fellow Daoists, this kind of divine pill is extremely rare..."
The auctioneer used his eloquent tongue to brag about the Huangting Enlightenment Pill, but the many cultivators below did not react much.
Huangting Enlightenment Pill is indeed good, but it is difficult to use it to break through the bottleneck of cultivation. There are many reasons why cultivators are stuck at a bottleneck and cannot move forward.
Cultivation in this world is all about practical practice; it’s not like all problems can be solved by a flash of inspiration.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Fortunately, there were many wealthy cultivators, and soon someone made a bid. Two more people followed suit, and when the price reached fifty top-grade spirit stones, no one was willing to bid anymore.
Gao Xian thought this thing was good, no matter how useful it was, it wouldn't hurt to buy it and try it out. After all, he had money.
There is no use leaving 240,000 top-grade spirit stones there. Only when they are transformed into cultivation resources that are useful to him can these spirit stones truly reflect their value.
With sixty pieces of top-grade spirit stones, he successfully obtained three Huangting Enlightenment Pills.
To be honest, Gao Xian also felt that the price was too high. A bottle of fourth-level nine-turn dragon elephant pills only cost twenty top-grade spirit stones. There were at least twenty dragon elephant pills in one bottle.
The key is that the Dragon Elephant Pill works as soon as it is taken, and the body can be greatly enhanced immediately. It is hard to say what you can get from the Huangting Enlightenment Pill.
Soon Yuxia brought the pills up, counted them in person, and Gao Xian signed to accept them. This box of pills became Gao Xian's personal property.
Gao Xian opened the jade box, handed one to Qingqing, and gave one to Qingle.
Qingle didn't answer it. She shook her head and said, "No need for that. You can keep it."
She has already taken the Qianyang Plum Blossom Mirror. This fourth-grade intermediate spiritual weapon is not of very high rank, but it is very useful and very beautiful. She likes it very much.
The Huangting Enlightenment Pill is very expensive, and she doesn't want it regardless of whether it is useful or not.
Gao Xian ignored Qingle's refusal and stuffed it directly into Qingle's sleeve, "Everyone who sees it has a share. If you don't want it, it's too unsociable."
Seeing that Qingle was still going to refuse, Gao Xian used his usual rhetoric, "Why, you think it's too cheap? Then buy an expensive one later..."
Qingle sighed softly: "Others say that you have looted several large sects. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."
"Hahaha……"
Gao Xian smiled happily. It was a good thing for others to know that he was rich. This way he could spend money freely. Even if he was a little exaggerated, others would not think too much about it.
Haoran Pill, Zipan Pill, Taishang Pill... This round was all kinds of top-grade elixirs, including divine-grade elixirs. When the Taishang Pill was taken out, it did cause a commotion.
It is said that the Supreme Pill can establish a connection with the Supreme Supreme Being above the Nine Heavens and sense the Supreme Qi. For the Xuanming Sect practitioners, this kind of pill is very valuable.
Xuanming Sect believes in Xuanming Tianzun, and above Xuanming Tianzun is Taishang Yuhuang Zhizun. It is said that what Xuanming Sect teaches is the Taoism of Taishang Yuhuang Zhizun.
The status of this Supreme Jade Emperor is too high, and no disciple of Xuanming Sect is qualified to worship him.
Gao Xian also knew a thing or two about this. He also knew that the Jade Emperor's Golden Body Treasure Appearance Technique that Qingle practiced was a secret method created in the name of the Supreme Jade Emperor.
At least this Supreme Pill is very useful to Qingle. It's just that too many people bought it and the price went up too fast. Gao Xian didn't really care, but buying such an expensive thing for Qingle alone would actually hinder their relationship.
Qingle and him get along in an equal mode. If one side gives too much, it will destroy the mode of getting along between the two sides. Qingle will not like it. There is no need for this.
"The next item to be auctioned is a fourth-tier top-grade divine weapon, the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword. This divine weapon gathers the power of the five elements and transforms it into extinction sword energy, which has the power to slay gods."
The mature beauty raised her voice and said, "The starting price is two thousand top-grade spirit stones."
No matter how precious the elixir is, it can never be compared with a divine weapon of the same level. Having such a divine weapon is enough to be the most precious treasure of the sect and support a huge sect.
Two thousand top-grade spirit stones is really the starting price.
Gao Xian was not in a hurry to bid, he wanted to see how others valued this artifact.
A fourth-grade top-grade divine weapon was nothing in this auction. Someone immediately offered 3,000 top-grade spirit stones. Soon someone followed suit, and everyone continued to bid, and soon the price reached 8,000 top-grade spirit stones.
This price was already very high, and other photographers gave up one after another.
Gao Xian knew it was his turn, so he directly bid 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. Number 99, who had been bidding, quickly followed suit and raised the price by 500.
Gao Xian quickly raised the price to fifteen thousand top-grade spirit stones.
This price was so exaggerated that it caused a commotion among the people in the hall.
In Room 99, a man in yellow Taoist robes was a little unsure of the situation. He used the Xuanming Order to contact Fan Qingyuan, "Do you still want to follow?"
Fan Qingyuan's voice came from Xuanming Ling: "He followed so decisively, he should have some strength left. Add another thousand."
Earning an extra 1,000 top-grade spirit stones would be 100 billion spirit stones. The profit here was too huge. Fan Qingyuan did not hesitate to use some tricks to achieve this.
"Sixteen thousand top-grade spirit stones, first time, second time..."
The beautiful auctioneer paused for a long time, waiting for Gao Xian to bid.
There was no movement in room number 17.
Fan Qingyuan in Room A was also a little surprised. Gao Xian didn't want it anymore?! She had sent people to do a lot of publicity beforehand, boasting about the power of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword, and also said that this item was related to a secret cave of the Great Five Elements Sect! Regardless of whether Gao Xian was a remnant of the Tianhua Sect or not, since he used the Great Five Elements Gong to cultivate into a Yin God, it would be difficult for him to change to other methods. The various inheritances of the Great Five Elements Sect were extremely important to him. What was going on now? Fan Qingyuan frowned slightly. This Gao Xian was a little ignorant...
