Chapter 1083: Bearer Auction, Pay Deposit

A pair of sharp eyes were constantly sizing up the old man in front of them. Their sharp eyes seemed to want to see the person in front of them thoroughly.

Everyone present is not a fool, and it is not impossible to get millions of spiritual stones.

But everyone knows better that with so many spiritual stones gathered together, it is an extremely huge resource.

Money attracts people's hearts, and if resources are placed in the hands of others, it is difficult to ensure that the other party will not have any evil thoughts.

Once the auction house has even the slightest evil intention, the other party can easily take away a huge amount of resources, but unfortunately, the people present will lose...

The questioning was intense, and everyone's body and appearance were obscured by their clothes, making it impossible for others to see the changes in their expressions.

And just as everyone's words fell, in the center of the crowd, a mysterious Nascent Soul monk who exuded a cold aura spoke coldly.

"I have participated in your auction house's auctions several times, but I have never heard of a rule about collecting a deposit before."

The white-haired old man's eyes fell on the Yuanying monk, his expression straightened, and he hurriedly said: "Senior, don't blame me, this rule is only introduced this year."

"The reason for doing this is really a helpless move."

"In the past few hundred years, the reputation of auctions has become more and more famous, attracting the attention of more and more Taoists."

Just as the white-haired old man was speaking, a burly black-clothed monk in the crowd shrugged and said, "Oh? That's really strange. Places like auction houses don't all rely on the ability of large numbers of people." Can you get a good price?"

“When did being famous and attracting attention become a bad thing?”

The black-clothed monk spoke, and others immediately echoed in low voices.

The white-haired old man quickly glanced at everyone and continued to explain: "Fellow Taoists, please don't misunderstand. The auction has a good reputation and attracts more monks, which is naturally a good thing."

"It's just that...you all have the certificates in hand, and you should be more or less familiar with the rules of this auction house."

"Although this auction house has never cared about good or evil, it is not easy to obtain the certificate. There are many monks in the East China Sea Islands, and not all interested monks can obtain the certificate."

"As a result, some monks with extreme personalities cannot successfully obtain the certificates. They will inevitably become murderous and try to seize the certificates from others by force."

The black-clothed monk who had spoken just now grunted and spoke again, "Humph! In this world, the strong have always been respected."

"If someone can take away the certificate, you may not even have your life and cultivation resources. Could it be that others who have obtained the certificate from your auction house can't come to participate?"

"I have heard about your auction house for many years. If I remember correctly, it should be said that it only recognizes certificates and not people, right?"

"In other words... you only issue a limited number of certificates each time, just to make other monks and certificate holders fight each other."

The white-haired old man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Fellow Taoist, please be careful, this auction house will never and will never encourage other monks and certificate holders to kill each other."

"The reason why only a limited number of vouchers are issued in each auction is to ensure the order of the auction and thereby... ensure the interests of all participants."

"I believe that none of the fellow Taoists here hope to participate in an extremely chaotic auction, right?"

“Fellow Taoist misinterpretation of the intention of this auction house is really... detrimental to

The original intention of this auction house. "

The monk in black waved his hand and immediately said impatiently: "Okay, whether it is to maintain the order of the auction and ensure the interests of everyone, you know best, and everyone knows it."

"I'm not standing here to argue with you."

"It's just that your auction house suddenly started charging high deposits. Just using this excuse is... untenable."

Facing the impatient questioning from the monk in black, the white-haired old man looked calm, without any panic.

With his peripheral vision, he glanced over the crowd and felt the undisguised aura of alertness. Then he continued: "I made a mistake by failing to explain clearly to fellow Taoists and seniors."

"The fact that the auction voucher was taken away was just the cause."

"The key is that those who seize the auction certificates are often very vicious and even have ulterior motives."

"Although the previous auctions were conducted smoothly, there were still some monks who maliciously raised prices and disrupted the order of the auction when they did not have the same amount of spiritual stone resources."

"What's more, some people took advantage of the auction to act secretly and have evil intentions. This kind of behavior makes this auction house really unbearable. Based on these factors, we have temporarily added such a rule."

"You can rest assured that this auction house has held no less than ten auctions and has been in existence for more than a thousand years. It is definitely not the case that we will destroy our own sign for the sake of the spiritual stones in everyone's hands."

"Once the auction ends, the spirit stone deposit will be returned in full."

The white-haired old man continued to explain, his attitude from beginning to end remained humble and silent.

After these words were spoken, everyone nodded one after another and fell into silence.

It would be unrealistic to completely believe the white-haired old man's explanation. However, it would not make much sense to continue to delve deeper into what the other person said.

"So, those monks and Taoist friends who came in front are also..."

In the center of the crowd, the mysterious Yuanying monk spoke again.

Before he finished speaking, the white-haired old man nodded repeatedly and said with a stern assurance, "Senior, don't worry, the auction rules always treat everyone equally."

"The fellow Taoists and seniors who entered before, without exception, all left millions of spirit stones as deposits."

The mysterious Nascent Soul monk nodded calmly, said no more, raised his hand, and threw out a storage bag.

"Thank you for your cooperation, senior. This is the serial number plate for senior to participate in the auction this time."

The white-haired old man took the storage bag, smiled hurriedly, and respectfully handed a token spiritual weapon with a serial number to the mysterious Nascent Soul monk.

When the other party accepted the token, he immediately turned to look at the rest of the crowd and explained with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, some of you have been here before, and some of them may be participating in this auction house's auction for the first time."

"In case there are fellow Taoists who are unclear, I would like to add a few more words. All auctions in this auction house are anonymous auctions."

"The auction voucher is just a voucher and does not contain any special marks or secrets."

"As for this token, it is a spiritual weapon with a unique serial number, which can be used to bid and confirm identity during the auction."

"After the auction is over, the final transaction will be carried out with the serial number plate. After the transaction is over, the token can be returned. If you are worried, you can destroy it."
