Because the "Treasure Pavilion" holds such an irreplaceable role, many powerful forces, including the Shenxiao Dao Sect, maintain good relations with the "Treasure Pavilion". Nobody knows what price the "Treasure Pavilion" paid this time to gain the consent of the high-ranking members of the Shenxiao Dao Sect to hold the auction in the City of Glory. The behind-the-scenes transaction involves such high levels that Li Yunjing does not know the details, but he can sense the unusual nature of the event. After Li Yunjing and his companions had been seated for a while, there was a "knock knock knock" on the door. Li Yunjing casually said. The door opened from outside, and it was Steward Liu who entered. "Fellow Daoist Li, greetings to all fellow Daoists!" Steward Liu greeted them with a smile. "Steward Liu, isn’t the ’Treasure Pavilion’ busy? How do you have time to come here?" After introducing Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao to her, Li Yunjing asked. "Well, there are some things I need to inform you of personally. Our auction will last for three days." Steward Liu smiled and said, "Additionally, bartering is not accepted. If you run out of Spirit Stones, you can sell some items to me, and I’ll exchange them for Spirit Stones." "This is my Communication Talisman! I am authorized to handle transactions up to one million Middle Grade Spirit Stones." This was the real purpose of Steward Liu’s visit. Steward Liu personally visited many of her regular clients. This is the best opportunity to make money. As a steward of the "Treasure Pavilion", how could she miss such a godsend opportunity? "So that’s the purpose!" Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao exchanged glances and finally understood Steward Liu’s purpose. Exchanging items for Spirit Stones through Steward Liu would result in at least a ten percent loss! Steward Liu is no good person; her heart is as black as that of a profiteer. When people get excited during the auction and urgently need Spirit Stones, Steward Liu can drastically lower the price, acquiring good items at prices below the market value. How could Li Yunjing and the others not know this? However, no one knew if they would come across something they desired at the auction. Li Yunjing and his companions did not refuse to exchange Communication Talismans. "Alright! I have to go! Oh, take this Jade Scroll! It contains information about this auction." As Steward Liu left, she said one last thing before heading to the next private room with a fragrance lingering in the air. "It looks like the ’Treasure Pavilion’ folks are going to make a fortune!" After Steward Liu left, Li Yunjing closed the door and sighed before looking at the Jade Scroll. It contained a lot of information, but no auction list. Evidently, the auction items were kept confidential by the "Treasure Pavilion". However, it listed many grades, and Li Yunjing saw content related to Tier Four materials and Magical Treasures. "You guys should take a look too!" After Li Yunjing finished reading it, he passed the Jade Scroll to Fu Chao. "There are so many good things! If we don’t have enough money, we might really have to sell some items." After looking, Fu Chao passed the Jade Scroll to Yu Yunyi and then mused. "Yes! We’ll handle each situation as it comes. If there’s something we must buy, we’ll discuss it then!" Li Yunjing said with a smile. Now, he had considerable wealth, making him very competitive among Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Of course, if faced with someone outrageously powerful, Li Yunjing would not force it. As for selling off the good items he had? Li Yunjing could not bear to! He had many Tier Three items on him, prepared for the future, and would not use them lightly. As Li Yunjing and countless other cultivators eagerly discussed the auction, the "Treasure Pavilion" staff were also quite nervous. The scale of this event was unprecedented. Coincidentally, the Shenxiao Dao Sect was hosting a grand event, attracting many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Southern Heaven Continent for negotiations, resulting in the presence of at least twenty Great Cultivators at today’s auction. With so many experts, it was considered one of the higher-level events in the "Treasure Pavilion’s" auction history. "Junior Sister, you’ll be hosting the auction. Don’t be nervous; you can handle the pressure." An old man at the Golden Core Realm smiled warmly as he reassured the woman in front of him. "Don’t worry! It’ll be fine! I’ve hosted numerous auctions big and small; this time, it’s just that there are more people!" The young, exceptionally beautiful woman spoke softly. Over the years, she had gotten used to this. "Good! There’s a quarter of an hour left. Make your preparations!" After giving some last-minute instructions, the old man left with his robes fluttering. At that moment, the entrance hall was almost full, with people filling the seats on the first floor. The enormous auction hall was packed with people, making it seem crowded. The gathering of so many experts put the "Treasure Pavilion" staff on high alert. If a disturbance were to occur, it would spell big trouble. In the private boxes on the third floor, over a hundred Golden Core Realm cultivators watched the scene below with calm expressions.

No one could have predicted that "Treasure Pavilion" and the Shenxiao Dao Sect would pull off such a big event. Once the first-floor hall’s seats were all taken, the "Treasure Pavilion" stopped allowing entry to ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Except for the late-arriving Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm dignitaries, no one else was permitted entry. As for anyone causing trouble? They would have to see if they could get past the City Guard! A quarter of an hour later, when the large doors of the "Treasure Pavilion" closed, the auction officially began. In the center of the hall, on a large high platform, several armored guards carried a Fangtian Halberd ceremoniously. This Fangtian Halberd was made of Divine Iron, gleaming brilliantly, and emanating endless Geng Metal energy. "This is a High Grade Treasure Artifact from the Celestial Martial Continent, forged from Geng Metal and infused with various Divine Irons. Even a late-stage Golden Core Realm expert could use it!" After the "Treasure Pavilion’s" tall, curvaceous woman in white said a few introductory words, she immediately unveiled the first auction item. Clearly, to kick off with a bang, the "Treasure Pavilion" presented a premium item as the first auction piece! Di Fanshuang continued, "This Fangtian Halberd has a starting price of 100,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, with each increment being 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones." This announcement caused a stir in the hall. No one expected the first item to be something worthy of a Golden Core Realm cultivator! Suddenly, many cultivators on the first and second floors started discussing. Seeing no one bid, Di Fanshuang smiled slightly, holding the Fangtian Halberd in both hands. As her mana surged into it, the Treasure Artifact immediately erupted in dazzling divine light. The intense Evil Qi sent a chill through everyone’s hearts. At that moment, many important figures on the third floor were tempted. Being knowledgeable experts, they immediately judged the item’s power. "I bid 100,000 High Grade Spirit Stones!" "100,000 High Grade Spirit Stones for a High Grade Treasure Artifact? I bid 101,000 High Grade Spirit Stones!" "110,000! Let’s see who dares to compete with me!" An expert shouted, "Everyone, please give the Hou Family of Yuefeng Mountain some face!" "Hahaha! What Hou Family? What face do you have! I bid 113,000!" In an instant, the entire hall became lively, with many Golden Core Realm experts beginning to bid. Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi, Yu Yunyi, and Fu Chao were thrilled by the spectacle. This was truly a grand event! Though the four of them were envious, they knew that such high-level items were not within the reach of small Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
