Chapter 61 This is very Internet!
When Taoist Situ led his disciples to the ghost market in Yong County, the place was already crowded with people.

The ghosts and the living souls intertwined together, causing the sky to be filled with cold winds and the remaining souls to howl.

There are even some powerful monks who cross the underworld in their mortal bodies. Seeing the dim lamps or the yang energy rising to the sky, people dare not approach!

Taoist Situ logged onto the Internet, confirmed his friend's location, looked around, immediately found a reference point, and went there.

Not long after, I found my friend waiting under a big tree.

"Everyone, I am late."

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I heard that you have been wandering around Tian'an Village recently. Have you seen Taoist Yunli?"

"Alas, Taoist Yunli refuses to see guests, and I dare not force my way to his door."

"It's better not to meet. Since we have set up an auction, why should we show favoritism?"

"Too!"

"I heard that this auction has already alarmed forces outside of Yunzhou?"

"It is true. I just happened to see a disciple of Ziyang Sect?"

"Doesn't this mean that our chances are even slimmer?"

"Do your best and obey fate!"

"..."

Taoist Situ and others were whispering, exchanging information with each other, and formulating auction strategies.

They are all inconspicuous small sects in Yunzhou. When they meet this time, they intend to join forces. However, looking at the current situation, the situation may not be very good.

During the long wait, more and more people gathered to participate in the auction.

However, no one from the Internet showed up, which caused a lot of discussion at the scene.

As the auction time approached, the scene became increasingly noisy.

There were even some powerful monks who used their great magical powers to sweep through the ghost market, trying to find any traces.

——But I thought that the Internet was playing a trick of "auction threshold". If your cultivation level does not meet the requirements, you are not allowed to enter!

However, no matter how hard they searched, there was no trace of him.

At night, it is the hour of Xu.

Everyone was suddenly shocked.

But at the same time, I received a message from an "unknown friend".

When logging into the Internet, the interface changed drastically and a pop-up window suddenly appeared in the center.

[The first online banking business license auction is about to begin! ]

【Please prepare for capital verification. 】

[The capital verification process is as follows...]

[This auction will auction twenty business licenses, with a starting price of one thousand Taizhen Tianxiang sticks, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred Taizhen Tianxiang sticks! ]

[Warning: Please read the Internet Banking Operation Guidelines in detail. Participating in the auction is deemed to be your agreement and compliance with the rules. ]

【…】

Everyone was stunned when they saw the pop-up window that suddenly appeared.

Are you still auctioning like this?
Not even a venue, tables, chairs or tea?

It’s really very “Internet”!

While the monks were stunned, they still hurried to check the capital verification process and online banking operating rules.

The more you watch, the more lively the scene becomes.

Before long, there was a lot of noise!
Not only because the capital verification requires uploading Taizhen Tianxiang, but also because the online banking operating rules are very strict.

For example, it stipulates that the purchase price of points from major online banks must not be lower than 300 cents per 5 points, or 1 dou of fine grain.

Moreover, all major online banks must provide a "refined grain exchange" service, allowing depositors to choose whether to exchange money or refined grain.

This exchange rate is amazing.

This means that ordinary people can almost make a living by burning incense.

Please note that you can automatically sign in and obtain 1-10 points when you burn the first incense stick every day.

This is automatically calculated based on piety.

Most people sign in with a median of 5 points, which is 150 points per month.

In other words, an average person can get one dou of rice every two months.

An adult consumes only one dou of rice per month.

This seems to be only half of the food supply.

In fact, this exchange rate is enough to solve the problem of food and clothing for ordinary people.

Because most people are reluctant to eat refined white rice, if they replace refined grains with coarse grains, according to the market price, 1 dou of refined grains can be exchanged for more than 2 dou of coarse grains.

Therefore, 150 points per month are definitely enough to support an adult.

Faced with such harsh conditions, the monks read them and, despite their complaints, still followed the requirements, uploaded Taizhen Tianxiang and completed the capital verification.

The reason is simple: compared to food, incense is more important.

Amid the hustle and bustle, by 11 p.m., most people on the scene had completed their capital verification.

The auction officially begins!
Compared with the traditional auctions with a series of bids, this auction is quite unique.

There was total silence.

There was only the sound of uncontrollable rapid breathing and the occasional angry curse or two.

There were occasional whispers.

Time passed slowly during the tense auction.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

As the last business license was auctioned off, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[The first online banking business license auction has officially ended. Successful bidders please wait patiently for follow-up notifications. ]

As the last notification pop-up window slowly faded away, the tense moods of the participants finally eased, regardless of success or failure.

"I am Song Yinxin, the abbot of Cuifeng Temple. I am willing to invest a large sum of money in the online bank. I would like to ask which Taoist friend is willing to work with me on this great plan?"

Unexpectedly, a Taoist priest suddenly rose into the air, and his loud announcement was like a stone thrown into a mirror lake, causing an uproar again.

"I am Lin Ye, the elder of Tianjing Pavilion in Qizhou. I am also willing to invest heavily in the online bank! Qizhou is a place with high mountains and long roads, and the people are tough. If there is a local sect to guide us, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"..."

When one person takes the lead, many follow.

Seeing this, the eyes of countless defeated competitors lit up and they all started clamoring to seek partners.

You should know that there is no regional distinction for online banking business licenses!
It also appears that the major branch banks are encouraged to compete with each other to avoid price gouging and selling inferior products as good ones.

Therefore, there is great potential for cooperation.

After all, the Internet covers too wide a range and is still expanding at an alarming rate. Such a large plate is simply not something that can be eaten by one sect or one school.

If we cooperate, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages.

For a while, many successful bidders were excited, and some even contacted privately to discuss the matter.

It was not until this moment that everyone suddenly realized - why did Taoist Yunli gather everyone together when this thing could obviously be auctioned online?

It turns out it was for this moment!

This is really well thought out!

Little did people know that Gu Yunli, who observed all this through the Internet, was also surprised.

He gathered everyone together just to call a meeting after the auction so that they could get to know each other and finalize the industry details!
I didn’t expect these practitioners to react so quickly.

Even if the auction fails and the opportunity is lost, they will quickly create opportunities and try to turn things around.

This is also good. The more participants there are, the bigger the Internet will be, and as someone who masters core technologies, he will become more and more important.

At that time, no matter who wants to touch him, they have to consider whether these people agree!

After all, destroying someone's financial resources is like killing one's parents.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunli simply postponed the meeting date that had been set long ago to three days later and pushed it to the backstage of the successful bidder.

After returning the incense sticks used to verify the bidder's capital, he immediately began to inhale and exhale the Taizhen Tianxiang that he had just obtained.

"I wonder if these Taizhen Tianxiang can help me improve my data and Taoism?"
