One Hundred and Four Proofs (Second Edition)

  "Master Wang, you're too modest. I'm here representing the Sacred Hall's auction event to extend an invitation. Are you interested in participating with that sword and elixir you forged?"

  Zhang Liang asked.

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay. During this period of time, someone asked the price, but it wouldn't be very high. It wasn't about the item itself, but more about wanting to get a bit of good luck.

  Auction is a completely different story, who would spend a lot of money to buy useless things? If no one buys, wouldn't it be embarrassing again.

  Things belong to Wang Meng, and it's up to Wang Meng to decide.

  From the expressions of the crowd, Zhang Liang knew that they were not too willing to expose themselves, after all, people have a conservative mentality and there is no need to take risks.

  The treasures at the auction are definitely very valuable, and in comparison, it's easy to lose face, especially since Wang Meng didn't become a disciple of the four ancestors, which means he lost the value of flattering.

  But Zhang Liang was not here to make Lei Guangtang lose face, but he believed in the vision of his ancestors.

  Wang Meng smiled and said, "Auction is also possible, but what kind of auction method?"

  Zhang Liang was slightly stunned, not expecting Wang Meng to agree. "The rules of the Holy Temple Hall, they usually take 5% to 10% of the auctioned items, but if the auction is unsuccessful, each item also needs to pay two pieces of low-grade spirit stone. If Brother Wang is willing to participate, I'll pay for the spirit stones, and I only need 10% of the auction price."

  Wang Meng's sword, plus the three special elixirs, also required eight pieces of low-grade spirit stone, which was a huge investment for a disciple.

  "Deal!"

  Wang Meng said, Zhang Liang immediately let out a sigh of relief. "Brother Wang, everyone, in the future if there's anything that requires my assistance, just speak up and I won't disturb you all."

  Zhang Liang walked away, and others swarmed up, "Brother Meng, you really want to sell these, it's a bit dangerous."

  Zhang Xiaojiang was somewhat worried.

  "You're not worried about selling it, but rather worried about losing money on it." Wang Meng said.

  Zhang Xiaojing scratched his head with a bit of embarrassment.

  "These things need to be gotten rid of, they've lost their meaning, whatever price we can get is fine, the main thing is to build a relationship with this Zhang Liang."

  Wang Meng said.

  Zhou Qian patted his hand, "Makes sense, don't underestimate this Zhang Liang. Although he can't rank in the top five of Ba Cao Tang, he has connections in various branches and is good at gathering intelligence and selling information. This time's situation, although it's due to the ancestors' reasons, his role in stirring up the situation is also quite crucial. If used well, he will be a great help to our Lei Guang Tang."

  "Brother Zhou said exactly what I wanted to hear!" Wang Meng nodded, he didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of Lei Guang Tang, after all, one day he would leave, now is to help Hu Jing and others create a forward-looking situation as much as possible.

  Hu Jing nodded, "I think Zhang Liang is also of the same mind. Although he has sold a lot of Wang Meng's talismans in the past few days, it's not enough to make such a huge profit. This time, his enthusiasm for us to auction off the fake tribute is also very great, plus these ten pieces of spiritual stone, the investment is very large. I don't understand why?"

  Wang Meng gazed in the direction Zhang Liang had left, smiled and said, "He's a clever man with vision, unfortunately he also has courage. Do you think anyone else in our clan takes him seriously besides us?"

  Everyone was stunned, shaking their heads one after another. Suo Ming suddenly said, "He used to go to Hengshan Hall often too. Once he sold some information and not only didn't get a cent but also got beaten up by us."

  "Dizzy, this is all right, then why does he still do business with Hengshan Hall?" Zhang Xiaojiang was speechless.

  "This is called considering the big picture. His intelligence network needs to extend to every branch and corner to be valuable, and our Holy Temple still has many talented people who are not limited by conventional thinking!"

  Hu Jing nodded, understanding a part of it, but why was he so supportive of Wang Meng? What could Lei Guangtang not give him?

  Wang Meng wasn't clear about it either, Wang Meng wanted to sell these things away and let the disciples of Leigongtang start anew, pursuing their own glory instead of building their confidence on his casual works.

  After Zhang Liang left Leigong Hall, he turned to a deserted small forest and clenched his fists hard. Only at times like these could he vent the emotions in his heart.

  This time it's a big gamble!

  Wang Meng was very popular, but this popularity was only aimed at those low-level disciples who would never be able to reach the top in their lifetime. Their future had already been predetermined, with no heavenly way, no ascension, and no glory. These things were beyond their reach. Wang Meng's appearance was like a dream come true for them, but it was still just a dream.

  But to those elite disciples, Wang Meng was still a lucky farmer who had walked into dog shit. They were also interested and after reading Zhang Liang's introduction, the title "Farmer" became fixed in their circle without exception.

  Zhang Liang personally heard their laughter and discussions, creating a miracle for the peasants? Or is it for the peasants?

  Wang Meng's parents were farmers. He went to the temple and inherited the nature of a farmer, so no matter what, he was still a farmer.

  To be honest, Zhang Liang was very angry, just like those people said he was, he was indeed a lowly peddler of information.

  In any world, there are many kinds of strength, perhaps it's hard in a small world, but Zhang Liang doesn't accept that.

  This auction also brought out treasures from each hall, after all, each hall needs to operate and requires a large amount of spiritual stones, which is far from enough just relying on the allocation from the main hall. The significance of the Treasure Pavilion lies in the auction, from a certain perspective, the significance of the Treasure Pavilion has been realized, but not for ordinary disciples, but for those who exist at the top of the pyramid.

  Zhang Liang had recommended Wang Meng's stuff to the Sheng Tang Pavilion, he thought that the recognition of the four ancestors must have been reasonable, but was directly rejected. So Zhang Liang paid a deposit, those eight pieces of spiritual stone were not enough, he put all his savings into it, twenty pieces of medium-grade spiritual stone!

  He didn't do this for any gain, but to tell the people of Sheng Guang Ge through this matter that he has great courage and vision!

  As long as he wins this battle, he won't believe that the people of Leigong Hall will still dare to underestimate him. How many people can take out twenty middle-grade spirit stones, and how many people dare to risk their lives in such a matter?

  How dare he!

  It's really exciting, perhaps in his bones he also yearns for miracles. By selling information, he has earned a lot and his connections have become much wider, but what he most yearns to get, he has never gotten.

  Respect!

  Zhang Liang knew that he had reached a bottleneck, and this time's incident had exposed him completely. With some calculation, it was clear that he had made a lot of money. Someone like Tang Wei would not let him off easily. In the past, others didn't notice because they thought there was no profit to be made.

  Without a certain amount of momentum and dominance, one will either be swallowed up by others or become a lackey.

  This is an opportunity for him to prove his strength to the Sheng Guang Pavilion, and also to Ning Zhiyuan, because he is very clear that Ning Zhiyuan's ambition lies in the overall Sheng Tang, not limited to the Dao Guang Hall. As long as he proves himself, those who have ulterior motives will not find it easy to get their way, and he is not someone to be trifled with either.
