77. The importance of fame

The auction house in Xiaotianqing Fangcheng City does not look very luxurious in appearance, and it looks no different from other buildings in the market. The only difference is that other buildings in the market are basically two or three floors at the highest, but the auction house only has one floor, and even looks very small in store.

Su Jue frowned: "Is this really an auction house?"

"Don't just look at the surface of everything." Lu Li smiled. "The scale of Xiaotianqingfang City is good and the traffic is huge, but the sect behind it is not a very famous sect, so their auction house is not known for its luxury and elegance, but for its sturdyness."

“Sturdy?”

"This is just the entrance." Lu Li continued, "The real auction place is underground, with an area of ​​about the same as the entire market, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, although it was built like this, in fact, only more than 100 people participated in the auction at the very least."

"Your Excellency, you know a lot about our Tianqingfang City." Just as Lu Li and Su Jue explained, a middle-aged deacon walked out of the auction house.

He was wearing a simple white robe and a feather fan in his hand. He looked very elegant, but he did not have any aura of great energy on his body, and he was obviously not a cultivator of the Confucian vein. Moreover, although he had the true energy fluctuations of the immortal realm, the aura he emitted did not have any power of thunder. Obviously, he had not yet overcome the thunder tribulation, and at most he was a cultivator of the Cave Heaven Realm.

Although this man smiled and seemed kind, he had a noble temperament. After all, he would definitely have a good status as a deacon at the Xiaotianqingfang Auction.

But when he saw the Brahma Lock behind Su Jue, his face changed instantly: "Wu...wu...wuji!?"

Su Jue raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at the middle-aged man standing in front of him.

In the outside world, Su Jue Wu Ji's name usually means killing, bloody, and cruelty, and never means anything good. So no matter who you see Su Jue, you will feel a sense of trembling and horror from the bottom of your heart, because no one knows when she will suddenly start to hurt people. In addition, Su Jue's identity as Wu Ji has a very easy-to-identify iconic outfit, so people with a little knowledge and experience will not admit their mistakes.

Perhaps because of his excessive fear of Su Jue, the middle-aged deacon's face turned pale in an instant after being looked at by Su Jue so coldly.

Originally, there were more than a dozen disciples from various sects behind Xiaotianqingfang Market. These disciples had the cultivation of the Golden Dan Realm or Yin-Yang Mirror. Although they didn't know how capable they were, based on the number alone, they were enough to shock some malicious outsiders. But now, when they heard the middle-aged deacon say the word "Wu Ji", they were all as dumb as a wooden chicken and did not dare to surround them.

Even many cultivators who were walking in this market were now like they encountered some terrible monsters, and all disappeared without a trace. Even the shops opened near the auction house were quickly closing the door, fearing that if they were one step too late, they would encounter some major disaster.

Looking at the surrounding situation, Lu Li smiled helplessly: "Your deterrence is really terrible."

"What does this have to do with me?" Su Jue snorted coldly, then looked around. Everyone she saw fled in the panic, "Rat, Rat, Bandit."

"Okay." Lu Li patted Su Jue on the shoulder, then looked at the middle-aged deacon, "I don't know what you call him."

"Just call me Xiao Zhou." The middle-aged deacon showed a smile that was harder than crying, "I don't know you are..."

"Taiyi, Lu Li." Lu Li showed a self-confessed kind smile, and then said softly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Li's words fell, the middle-aged deacon knelt down with a "thump": "Master Lu! We... our little Tianqingfang City is really a remote place. We have never auctioned any good things, so it is probably difficult to catch your eyes."

After saying that, he kept kowtowing to Lu Li, and he didn't feel that he had any mistakes in kowtowing to others as a cultivator in the Heavenly Realm of Shangxian Cave.

Seeing that the middle-aged deacon had done this, the others immediately knelt down.

Now, the self-confessed smile on Lu Li's face completely froze.

Su Jue on the side laughed without giving him any face: "It seems that your deterrence is much scarier than mine... At most, I just scared them to their faces pale, and you just let them kneel down."

Faced with Su Jue's joke, the middle-aged deacon did not dare to refute at all, and even did not dare to speak. Because neither Wu Ji nor Lu Li were the ones he could offend. He needed to be careful to serve any of these two people, for fear of causing them to dissatisfaction with the demolition of the Xiaotianqingfang Market, not to mention that the two appeared together at this time, which scared him to kneel down.

Since the Yaochi Immortal Association, Lu Li's reputation has been completely spread in the Taoist world, and even some behaviors in the desolate secret realm have also spread. Of course, this kind of transmission is naturally impossible to be a good thing. Now Lu Li's image in the Taoist world is almost no different from that of bandits. People like him will naturally have some guys with a strong sense of justice who want to kill Lu Li with the name of practicing Taoism for heaven. However, Lu Li's strength is a bit too strong, and many people who come to cause trouble were solved by him. This is not a big deal, but everyone who dies at Lu Li's hands will basically be plundered by him. In this way, Lu Li's name of bandits is completely confirmed.

Of course, Lu Li didn't know these things at all, otherwise he wouldn't have told the other party about his identity as soon as he came up.

At this time, Lu Li told him his identity as soon as he came up, and there was a Wu Ji standing next to him. The middle-aged deacon obviously misunderstood the purpose of Lu Li and Su Jue, thinking that Lu Li, the bandit, was about to rob him with Su Jue.

After finally figuring out the problem, Lu Li's face became even more ugly: "Am I just such an unreasonable person? Even if I really want to rob, is your Xiaotianqingfang City fake? With my cultivation level, can I still break through here? Just the Hunyuan One-colored Sky Array under your auction site, it will be difficult for me to deal with, let alone..."

This middle-aged deacon didn't know that Lu Li was actually Ye Xuan, and had been to their Xiaotianqingfang Market. In his opinion, this was obviously the first time Lu Li came to their Xiaotianqingfang Market, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he had already explained the pattern and defense array of the entire market clearly. His face almost turned pale with every word Lu Li said. In his opinion, there was nothing to hide from Lu Li in this Xiaotianqingfang Market.

"Master Lu, you..." Looking at Lu Li's angry look, the middle-aged deacon had to serve him carefully, "You and Your Excellency Wu Ji are visiting our Tianqingfang City. Do you know what you want to find?"

Seeing that he could not get rid of his image as a bandit, Lu Li immediately said without saying nonsense and said bluntly: "Dark jade green wood, glazed fire lotus, dark water in the sky, Geng gold white jade, Wu earth yellow sandstone, do you have these things?"

When he heard what Lu Li wanted, the middle-aged deacon looked embarrassed and said, "Master Lu, these things are basically priceless and have no markets. Even if someone owns them, they cannot get markets like us for auction.... You also know that markets like ours are called small markets in the world of cultivation. The cultivators who come and go cannot have a wealthy net worth. The price of auctioning one thing is generally not much higher, so..."

Lu Li also knew that what the middle-aged deacon said was true.

In ordinary small markets, although there are more people coming and going, their net worth is usually very limited and their bidding ability is not high, so some precious things are naturally impossible to be auctioned in small markets. Otherwise, a thing that was originally worth tens of thousands of Yang Dan was limited by the bidder's own net worth, and the price was not even 10,000 yuan. This is naturally not a good thing for the person who sells things.

If you want real good things, you can always only bid in big markets. If you have any good things in small markets, you will usually promote and notify them a few months or even one or two years in advance. Only in this way can you auction the price of an item.

Lu Li came to this Xiaotianqingfang Market just to try his luck, but when he heard the deacon's words so bluntly, he was still a little disappointed.

"You will hold an auction here in a few days, right?" Lu Li sighed helplessly, and then changed the topic. "I have a bottle of pill here. I wonder if I can participate in your auction?"

The middle-aged deacon hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I don't know what pill it is?"

He really had no choice but to doubt Lu Li's character. If Lu Li took out some rags, he really didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Lu Li was not that shameless. The pill he took out was a spiritual pill that was very useful for cultivators above the Golden Pill Realm of the Longevity Realm. It can accelerate the refining speed after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can be regarded as a relatively precious spiritual pill, and the grade is the fourth level of human level.

This is something that Lu Li brought from Qian Xiaolai. It was originally left by Qian Xiaolai for Ouyang Jie, but Lu Li took a bottle away.

"The spirit refining pills are all very good." The middle-aged deacon said happily, "If a bottle of twenty can be auctioned together, it will only cost about 2,500 top-grade crystals, but this can be solved at one time. However, if one auctions one by one, although it will take longer, at least 4,000 top-grade crystals can be auctioned, and it may even be higher."

"How about selling you at the price of 3,500 top-grade crystals?"

"Trade." Almost nothing to consider, the middle-aged deacon nodded in agreement very simply.

So the subsequent formalities and transactions were not complicated, and soon both parties cleared their money. Lu Li did not intend to stay here for too long. He had many good things to auction, such as the heart, blood, etc., and even some other valuable things, but the price could not be much higher when auctioned in the small market, so Lu Li naturally planned to auction these things at the big market.

Seeing Lu Li and Wu Ji leaving so simply, the middle-aged deacon hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Lu, if you really need Gengjin white jade and Wu earth yellow sandstone, then you can only go to Qiandong Tongtian Rock to get lucky... Two days ago, a team of Qiandong Tongtian Rock cultivators who passed here happened to have these two materials on their hands. If you go now, you may still be able to participate in the auction."

"Thank you!" Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and thanked him.
