Moon Emperor

Chapter 262 Picking up leaks?

It has to be said that the description of the fat steward of Jubao Pavilion moved many people, and some even began to study what kind of wish would be better if they got the magic lamp of wish?

It must be the kind of desire that will not disappear automatically when the time comes, at least it can continue to maintain on its own.

Seeing this, the fat steward nodded secretly, and he continued: "As I said before, since the legend of the magic lamp of wish has spread more and more widely, every time the magic lamp appears, it will trigger a tragic fight and fight."

"This time, our old employer, namely the Shen family, had a caravan going to the Western Regions to sell goods, and unintentionally got involved in a bloody conspiracy to compete for the magic lamp."

"A lot of people died in this conspiracy, and the scene at the end was horrible~"

"All in all, our Shen family's caravan paid a very high price to snatch this exotic treasure back to our Central Plains. Anyway, if there is no owner, whoever has the big fist belongs to whom."

"We did some research, and this lamp should be the legendary wish lamp."

"But we don't need this thing for a while, so we put it up for auction, which can be regarded as helping our Treasure Pavilion to improve the reputation."

After the fat steward finished speaking, he didn't have much time to call for the start of the filming. Many people showed suspicious expressions in the lobby, boxes, upstairs and downstairs.

As I said earlier, the people who came here today are all old and regular customers. These people are very smart. You boasted so much about this thing, and the last sentence is that you don’t need to use it?
So someone questioned on the spot: "Lao Li, do you think we are three-year-olds?"

"Didn't you just say that this magic lamp can help people realize any wish, such a magical treasure, you don't need to use it?"

Others also booed, "I think this magic lamp is fake?!"

"I think even this story is made up. There is no such mysterious thing in this world. Anyway, if I get it, I must use it for myself. It is impossible to sell it."

"You Jubao Pavilion is so unreasonable!"

Seeing that the scene was somewhat chaotic, the fat steward quickly raised his hands, "Everyone! Everyone! Please listen to me."

"This, this, in the legends of the Western Regions, the protagonist in the story rubs the surface of the magic lamp three times, and he can hear a voice saying that his wish will come true."

"But our Patriarch of the Shen family has tried it, and there is no response after rubbing it three times."

"Later, several elders in the family also tried one by one, but there was no response, no matter how many times they were rubbed."

"But we are very sure that this thing should be real, in addition to its appearance and characteristics are consistent with the legend, but also because it cannot be easily destroyed."

"At least our Shen family used the treasure inherited from the family without leaving any scars on its surface."

"So we sent a large number of people to collect relevant clues in the Western Regions, and finally found that the protagonists in all legends and stories generally have a very low starting point."

"For example, the poor guy and beggar I just mentioned; there are also some owners of magic lamps, even if they have high social status, their own strength is very weak."

"So we speculate that in addition to the time limit, this magical lamp should also limit the strength of the wisher."

"Let me give you an example. If any of you here has reached the level of martial arts mastery, then your ambitions will also expand accordingly, right?"

"In other words, most of your wishes can be realized by relying on your own strength alone, and you don't need to rely on external forces; when you need to rely on external forces, it must be an extremely difficult and troublesome event."

"Thus, although the Magic Lamp of Wishes can theoretically grant any wish, it will actively screen the users. Currently, it is speculated that only people below the fourth level can use it. This can prevent situations where wishes cannot be fulfilled."

After hearing this, many people realized that this thing is a tasteless thing.

Otherwise, even if the Shen family wanted to sell it, they shouldn't have sold it in their own Treasure Pavilion.

If there is such a good thing, to entrust the famous [Treasure of Heaven and Man] in the practice world to sell or auction it, I believe many outsiders will be very interested, and it will definitely not be a problem to make a lot of money at that time.

"Then what should we do if we photographed this thing and found that the level is not high enough?" Some people continued to question.

Li Guanshi waved his hand, "If it doesn't work, I will not be responsible."

"We are doing this business on the basis of credibility, because it seems that the magic lamp can only realize one person's wish within half a year, so we have never found someone with low ability to try it, so as not to use up this opportunity."

"If someone takes a picture of this thing and silently makes a wish in his heart, then we don't know."

"So we can't guarantee that the original price will be recovered. If we recover an unusable magic lamp that will disappear by itself in half a year, won't we be taken advantage of?"

Seeing that Jubao Pavilion couldn't give a guarantee, many people started whispering and immediately gave up the idea of ​​participating in the auction.

But some people are still interested, thinking that if the price is not high, they can take pictures for fun; the vast majority of people present are not beyond the strength of the third realm, so they should meet the usage restrictions of magic lamps.

Even six or seven monks have some intentional ideas. No matter how many restrictions there are, if it is used well, it may not be a good thing, such as the effect of changing the weather in a certain place for half a year on a large scale.

Su Yan even said to Wang Changling who was beside him: "I want this thing, you come forward and take a picture."

After listening to Li Guanshi's description, Wang Changling originally thought that this thing was useful, but it was not very useful. At this moment, when he heard that the exiled immortal was interested, he suddenly had various guesses in his mind.

For example, could this thing be a fairy artifact left by the heavens and left in the world?Or, what big secret is hidden in this treasure?
Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, Wang Changling immediately agreed. He was worried about how to get closer to the reincarnation of this immortal. Of course, this small matter should be taken care of for him.

So, Su Yan really sees that this thing is of high value? ?

No, no, he just thought it was very interesting, and he hadn't formed the alchemy yet, so he was just stuck on the threshold of being able to use it. If he didn't buy it now and try it, he probably wouldn't have a chance to use it in the future.

Of course, even if he got it, Su Yan wouldn't use it right away.

One is that I have no idea what wish to make for the time being;
The other is that Su Yan is worried about hidden dangers.

After all, this kind of wishing mechanism sounds very mysterious. Is there really such a strange magic weapon in this world?What exists, and for what purpose is it refined?

Moreover, Guanshi Li didn't say what happened to the previous masters of the magic lamp, and would they pay any intangible price?

In the end, besides thinking of Aladdin's magic lamp, Su Yan also thought of the [Monkey's Paw] in the Western legends of his previous life, which could grant three wishes.

Monkey's paw is a ghost thing that fulfills wishes in a distorted way. For example, someone made a wish for 100 million, and his son was killed by a truck the next day, and the other party compensated him 100 million.

"Okay, everyone must have already made up their minds at this moment, the starting price is [-] spirit gathering stones!"

"There are no restrictions on overweight items, panacea, essence of the five elements, mines and spiritual fields, treasures of heaven and earth, as long as we accept anything of value."

The starting price is not expensive to be honest. Ju Lingshi can be said to be an item that can be artificially manufactured.

One hundred thousand may sound like an exaggeration, but there are so many unsatisfactory miners in the world. If you don't work, some people will do it, so there is a lot of output every year.

And just now a piece of incomplete [Yellow-level] array map can sell [-] spirit-gathering stones. Although this magic lamp has a lot of restrictions, it is not too much to sell it for ten times the price.

So the guests started asking for prices one after another, and quickly raised the price to 15. Many people didn't have so many spirit-gathering stones, so they added other prices. Naturally, there was a boy from Jubao Pavilion who was responsible for helping to convert the value of the treasures.

In fact, this kind of situation is very common when auctioning precious items. When it is exaggerated, there may be an equivalent of millions of gathering spirit stones.

But don't say that ordinary people can't take it out, even if you can take it out, they don't want it.

Because Juling Stones are all low-end goods, they are substitutes developed to make up for the increasingly scarce spiritual energy in the world; the big sects are not too rare for this kind of thing, just take some enough to go out when you go out, is it possible that you really want to Take a bunch of spirit gathering stones and smash people to death?
Therefore, in high-end transactions, Juling Stone can only be used as a conversion unit to measure the approximate value of the item. You have to give some high-end goods before others are willing to make a deal with you.

Su Yan noticed that during the period, female Taoist priests, sword cultivators, and old men in black robes all participated in bidding, but the prices were obviously a bit out of the actual value, and the frequency of their bidding was obviously much slower.

On Wang Changling's side, he was aggressively asking for the price, and at the same time, his heart was bleeding.

No, you really believe this shit!Li Guanshi sells goods, of course he brags that there is nothing in the sky and nothing in the earth, is this thing really worth the price?

"One hundred thousand gathering spirit stones, plus one hundred catties each of the essence of the five elements, one hundred acres of spiritual fields, one crafting workshop, two high-grade weapons of Life Treasure, three bottles of high-grade spirit pills, and two roots of blood dragon ginseng"

"There are a total of 35 spirit-gathering stones in total. Is there any higher price than the guests in [Dizi No. [-] Room]?"

While Li Guanshi was shouting, he smiled so much that his small eyes almost narrowed to the point of blindness.

But this voice is a bit familiar. Which old customer is it, who deliberately disguised himself to participate in today's auction?

At this moment, the fat steward suddenly received a voice transmission from his boss, "It's Wang Changling's voice. Didn't you hear that he was in a hurry? Be cooperative."

Li Guanshi's heart immediately tightened. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and shouted at a faster speed: "Is there any more? Is there any more? If there is no one, it will belong to this one. We still have a major event that we haven't played, everyone. But don't forget."

It has to be said that Li Guanshi's last sentence reminded many buyers who were already a bit superior.

Although everyone is very disgusted with the pretentiously mysterious way of propaganda, but they are all here, and even the wish lamp has to be ranked behind this thing, what if it is really valuable?

And the guy who owns the room is obviously determined to get it. If you insist on raising the price with the other party, but the price is too high, and others don't want it, then you know what it means to ride a tiger.

Not only did he offend someone, but if he failed to pay the quoted items, he would be held accountable by the people in Jubao Pavilion, and even be directly blacklisted by the Shen family. In the future, he would never be able to buy anything through the channels of Jiangnan wealthy merchants.

So after raising the price once or twice, Wang Changling finally managed to bid on this magical lamp.

During this period, the beautiful woman's crown was blindfolded, and she was drinking with a smile at the corner of her mouth. The wine in the wine gourd seemed to be endless.

It is worth mentioning that she was sitting in Tianzi No. [-] room, looking down at the whole venue from a high position.

According to the news that Wang Changling just got through Jubao Pavilion, this person is suspected to be Taiyuanzong.

As for the sword cultivator, he seems to be a monk of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Finally, there is the old man in black robe. The Jubao Pavilion doesn't know the way of the other party. They say that he was introduced by several customers, but they only know that the other party is a master who can pay the price.

Not long after, the treasure box containing the magic lamp of wishes was privately sent to [Dizi No. [-] Room] by the people of Jubao Pavilion.

Originally, the auction item had to be paid for and delivered after the end of the auction, but given the relationship between the Yuhang Wang family and the Shen family, naturally there was no need to worry so much.

Su Yan opened the box and took out the magic lamp to check it out.

Although it’s not big, it’s heavy, and it’s empty inside without lamp oil or wick, so theoretically it can’t light a fire, but it can really be used as a teapot.

There are some strange and exotic patterns engraved on the surface of the magic lamp, like some kind of characters, but also like simple decorative patterns.

Su Yan does know that most of the high-level magic weapons have special "Tao patterns", some of which are directly displayed on the surface of the magic weapon, and some are restrained inside the magic weapon.

The dao pattern contains the understanding of the Dao of the magic weapon refiner, so some monks will obsessively study the dao pattern of their own natal magic weapon.

On the one hand, it is to better control the magic weapon; on the other hand, it is also trying to understand the predecessors' understanding of Tao from the Tao pattern, so as to achieve the effect of analogy.

The ancient sword Lie Que, Taiyin mask, and Gua Xian Gua plate on Su Yan's body should all have Dao patterns, but none of them are revealed on the surface.

And Su Yan didn't have the time to study this, it's equivalent to a person who is still in primary school, going to study university knowledge, not only is it difficult to learn, but it's completely unnecessary, it's justified to study it when the realm is higher in the future.

Holding the magic lamp in both hands, Su Yan subconsciously wanted to rub those mysterious patterns, but he stopped suddenly before he could do it.

Don't mess around, hey!What if something goes wrong?
The origin of this thing is really weird, Su Yan decided that he would not use it indiscriminately before asking the Taoist priest who grinds the mirror.

Wang Changling on the side looked a little greedy. Although he didn't know the value of this thing, the exiled immortal seemed to see it. Could it really be a fairy weapon?
If it was a fairy artifact, the Wang family only bought it at a price equivalent to 38 spirit-gathering stones. Wouldn't it be a big mistake?
Seeing this, Su Yan handed him the magic lamp of wish, so that he could have a good time too.

Wang Changling was a little flattered. Although he said "no need", he took it honestly and carefully.

But after playing with it for a while, he looked horizontally and vertically, but he didn't find any tricks in this thing.

Su Yan even instructed him to rub it a few times to try. According to Jubao Pavilion, it is impossible to take effect with Wang Changling's cultivation.

Wang Changling shook his head again and again, "Isn't it good? Wait a minute if I use it."

He communicated with the people from Jubao Pavilion for a while through sound transmission, and confirmed that Guanshi Li was not lying. After asking Su Yan's opinion for the second time, he tried it cautiously.

As a result, no matter how Wang Changling rubbed, whether with his hands or his sleeves, no sound was heard after several times of rubbing.

For a while, he couldn't help muttering: "The Shen family didn't really make up a story to sell fake products, did they? No, I must ask them face to face after the end."
