The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 326 Auction
Chi Yu, Tong Ming, Ling Ruogu and others were very efficient.

In just a few days, the news that Yaoguang was planning to auction a flying boat-type Taoist weapon had spread throughout the Tiandao Sect.

Upon hearing the news, those vein masters who were in high positions and had made a lot of money were relatively calm, but those peak masters who were less powerful than the vein masters seemed quite excited.

For a time, each peak master rushed to tell each other, trying every possible way to raise resources to prepare for the upcoming auction of Taoist weapons.

Since the matter involved a Taoist weapon, the news was naturally known to the Tiandao Sect's leader, Zong Wenxian.

However, the leader of the Tiandao Sect was not surprised that Yaoguang took out a Taoist weapon.

"When Yaoguang had not yet become a true disciple of our Tiandao Sect, Hou Feng, Jiang Tianzun and his group could not catch up with him for a long time. At that time, I guessed that he must have a flying Taoist weapon."

Zong Wenxian looked at Xiang Zhenlong who brought this news and frowned slightly: "Originally I thought this Taoist weapon might be a gift from Penglai Taoist Lord, but now it seems..."

If it was a Taoist weapon given to him by Taoist Master Penglai, he would never sell it.

in other words……

Could it be that Yaoguang really had obtained an extraordinary inheritance, and thus was noticed by the Taoist Emperor Penglai and sent to the Tiandao Sect?

What is the purpose of the Penglai Taoist?
Do you have any intentions towards Tiandao Sect?

Or just an idle move?
Or maybe you just want to watch the fun?
But at that time, Yaoguang had only a deep blue golden elixir. No matter how much fun this kind of cultivator had, how could he attract the attention of a dignified Taoist master?

While thinking, Zong Wenxian had no intention of acting rashly.

He planned to continue observing.

"He is selling the Taoist tools at this time. It does not seem like the Taoist Master Penglai is supporting him behind the scenes."

Xiang Zhenlong said: "Of course, it is also possible that this Taoist master is deliberately setting up a false formation."

"Not really. If that Dao Lord really wanted to do something to our Tian Dao Sect, he would never resort to such means."

Zong Wenxian pondered, "If Yaoguang really sold these Taoist tools, it would at least prove that he has little relationship with Penglai Daojun. If they don't have much relationship, maybe we can try to contact him again and see if we can bring him into our circle..."

As he spoke, he sighed, "With his special Void-type physique, the probability of achieving Void Refining is already higher than others. Now that he has sold a Taoist artifact and gained a lot of resources, the time it takes to achieve Void Refining will probably be shortened again. Even if someone tells me that he can achieve Void Refining within a hundred years, I won't be surprised."

"Refining the void."

Xiang Zhenlong's expression was slightly solemn.

A Lianxu figure is definitely a force of great importance to the Tiandao Sect.

The Tiandao Sect’s power level is no more than twenty or so people.

Especially if Yaoguang enters the realm of refining emptiness, he can be promoted from young leader to deputy leader and take over the power of governing the Southern Region from the leader.

This means...

You are now qualified to sit at the seat and enjoy a piece of cake.

"So, Master, if he sells Dao weapons in the sect, we won't stop him?"

Ask the real dragon.

"On the one hand, we can't stop it. If Tiandao Sect can't sell it, he can definitely sell it from other forces. Everyone needs Dao weapons. On the other hand, if we forcibly stop it, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many peak masters. Among the thirteen peaks of our Tiandao Sect, there are only five people who have Dao weapons."

Zong Wenxian said, waving his hand: "Let him sell it. This transaction is a good opportunity to see the relationship between him and that Taoist master."

Xiang Zhenlong listened and nodded: "Then let's..."

"If you are interested, you can go and buy it. You can even use some tricks to test Yaoguang's confidence. You can basically tell what kind of trump card a person has by how he handles unexpected events."

Zong Wenxian paused for a moment and said, "But please be careful with your approach. I don't want to see any shady tricks that are too ugly. Do you understand?"

Xiang Zhenlong's heart trembled: "I understand!"

We can't use shady means to make the situation too ugly...

Some formal means can be used.

There are only a few peak masters who have the financial resources to buy the Taoist weapon. If we create some obstacles for them before the sale so that they have difficulty in mobilizing funds, they may be able to get the Taoist weapon at a relatively low price.

Although the identities are the same, there is still a big difference between being in power and not being in power.

……

The auction of the Taoist Dragon-Xiang Flying Boat proceeded in an orderly manner.

One month is obviously a very short time, so short that people do not have enough time to make adequate preparations and mobilize enough assets for bidding.

Similarly, during a month, some conflicts that were originally hidden in secret were exposed from time to time because of the short time.

It was only at this time that Yaoguang discovered the truth that the Tiandao Sect was regarded as a big alliance.

The leader checks and balances the entire sect and seeks benefits for everyone in the sect, while he takes the biggest piece of the pie.

The second is the Supreme Elders Council. Since they control powerful military force, their interests in the sect are also indispensable.

The next ones to come were the four sect leaders and three deputy sect leaders.

Each of the three deputy heads occupies a region, which is equivalent to a real local emperor, but they still have to pay the "taxes" and "specialty tributes" to the sect every year.

After the sect masters and the great elders divided up these resources, it was the turn of the four sect leaders to divide them up, and finally the turn of the peak masters. From this point of view, the deputy sect masters and the peak masters of each peak were equivalent to workers.

At best, the deputy head is far away from the emperor and is relatively free, but he still has to be subject to the head and the four-line system led by the head.

In this situation, the peak masters will try to become the vein masters, and the deputy heads will try to compete with the head, and try to intercept more profits for their own use after completing the tribute to the sect.

And the process of this...

It is definitely not aboveboard.

Why has the position of deputy head of the Southern Region remained vacant? Is it taken over by the head of the Southern Region?
This is because eight hundred years ago, Song Youque, the deputy leader who was in charge of the Southern Region, assassinated the delegation that the leader secretly sent to audit the specific income of the Southern Region more than once.

Killing him would have been fine, but the key point was that the head of the sect, Zong Wenxian, caught evidence one of the times.

No one knew how he convinced the Council of Elders, but half a month after the evidence was presented, the Council of Elders announced that Deputy Sect Leader Song Youque had betrayed the sect. At the same time, they dispatched three Supreme Elders, led the ten battle halls and dozens of Dongxu, and charged into the Southern Region to completely wipe out the lineage of Deputy Sect Leader Song.

This is considered to be one of the largest internal actions of the Tiandao Sect in the past thousand years.

As for smaller incidents, such as an elder committing corruption or bribery, these happen several times every hundred years.

It's just an internal struggle, something we all see all the time.

……

"The sects on the North Sea Star, heritage, and history have never been important. It is normal for them to fight each other for the sake of dividing interests and kill each other. Even if the sect is destroyed due to internal fighting... the worst that can happen is that they can gather together again and build another sect. As long as there are people, there will be a sect. As long as the Dao Lord is immortal, the fire of the sect will last forever."

Yaoguang took a look at the situation of the three peak masters.

A peak master had his funding flow cut off.

A demon king suddenly wreaked havoc in the place guarded by a peak master, and he had to go and suppress it.

There was also a peak master who directly revealed that he was colluding with the gods and was directly asked by the Law Enforcement Hall to cooperate with the investigation.

In theory, these three people would be the largest buyers of Yaoguang.

Whether this Taoist weapon can be sold at a relatively high price depends on the performance of these people at that time.

This time, all three of them had problems...

"I hope it won't be less than 10 billion. Otherwise, don't blame me for regretting not selling it."

Yaoguang said.

Selling Dao weapons in Tiandao Sect is less risky, but...

It's too easy to be manipulated behind the scenes.

……

One month passed quickly.

In such a short period of time, the group of people led by Wan Liugui and others could not even make it to the Tiandao Gate. This time, the sale of the Taoist weapons had to be done by the Ling family and the Chi family.

Fortunately, there are only a few people in the entire Tiandao Sect who are qualified to compete for this Taoist weapon.

When the day of the auction actually arrived, there were only fifteen people who arrived at the reception peak used for the auction.

In addition to the four major sect leaders, six of the thirteen peak masters came. The three deputy leaders did not come in person, but they all sent Elder Dongxu as representatives.

In addition, there were also two Dongxus representing the Supreme Elders who attended the meeting and observed.

If the price is low, they don't mind picking up a bargain, but if the cost is high...

The supreme elder behind them also does not lack this Taoist weapon.

……

Without giving these peak masters, clan masters, deputy masters and representatives of the supreme elders any time to wait, Yaoguang appeared directly on a mountain specially set aside for receiving guests.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in the sale of this Taoist artifact. I won't say any more."

Yaoguang stretched out his hand, and the Longxiong flying boat suddenly took off into the air, revealing its true body which was five miles long and hovered over the Daike Peak.

"Please look, everyone. This flying Taoist device not only has the extraordinary ability to travel through the void, but also has a good rest space inside..."

Yaoguang gave a relevant introduction to this Taoist weapon.

The other Dongxu and Lianxu people stimulated their spiritual thoughts one by one to explore the specific effects of this Taoist weapon.

Yaoguang naturally would not stop this.

After introducing it for more than ten minutes and everyone had a certain understanding of this Taoist weapon, Yaoguang spoke again: "I think everyone has a certain understanding of this Longxiong Flying Boat. Now, the bidding begins. The base price is 10 billion Pure Yang Pills. Each bid cannot be less than 1000 million Pure Yang Pills."

As soon as Yaoguang finished speaking, the Immortal Vein Master immediately said, "Use the Pure Yang Pills for auction? We, the Refining Void, don't usually prepare so many Pure Yang Pills on purpose. Why not use the Void Dao Pills and some natural treasures for the trade? How about 12000 Pure Yang Pills for 1 Void Dao Pill?"

"Isn't a reserve price of 10 billion too high? Master Yaoguang, you don't understand the market for Dao tools. Although Dao tools sold in the outside world can often sell for 10 billion Pure Yang Pills, each of those Dao tools has its own mysteries. This Longxiong flying boat is mediocre in terms of traveling through the void, and it doesn't have any other abilities. Apart from its good internal environment, there is nothing worth mentioning. For a Dao tool like this, I think a reserve price of 5 million is more appropriate."

A peak master also smiled and said, "I'll offer 5 million first. How about everyone bidding according to this number?"
