Fang Xian is truly impressive! Boss Hu, after all, comes from Mo Jin Xiao Wei. He immediately recognized Zuo Ci's Flesh Spirit state. The Dragon Pearl is indeed a powerful tonic! Unfortunately, the four Old Ancestors at home are on the brink of death and cannot benefit from it. How could it be given to an outsider like Zuo Ci?
Thank you for your generous offer, Boss Hu! Zuo Ci smiled coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of loneliness. A useless person? How could that not be the case? An unnamed fire of resentment surged within him.
"Has the auction started?" Zuo Ci asked.
"There's still half an hour!" Boss Hu replied with a smile.
"Alright!" Zuo Ci twisted his neck and said, "Then please lead the way, Boss Hu. As one entrusted with a task, Poor Dao naturally values integrity!"
"Please!" Boss Hu nodded respectfully.
At the auction venue, there were no sharply dressed bosses or nouveau riche adorned with diamond rings. Instead, it was filled entirely with cultivators. Their auras were formidable; those who could enter Bao Long Auction House were undoubtedly elites in the cultivation world. This place gathered all the high-level cultivators from Tongcheng. Some served wealthy families, while others hid deep in the mountains and forests, all for the highlight of the auction.
Dragon!
The red curtain parted.
A group of slender women in split cheongsams swayed gracefully, their figures reminiscent of a fashion show. They were all trained hostesses from the auction house, each with some knowledge of the identities of the distinguished guests attending the auction. If they caught the eye of certain influential figures, wealth and prosperity would be mere trifles; they might even live to a ripe old age!
Seated in a secluded corner on the second floor was Zuo Ci, attended by beautiful women in cheongsams who served him tea and offered shoulder massages. This sight made Black Cripple, sitting nearby, envious.
These cheongsam beauties were sharp-witted, recognizing Zuo Ci's extraordinary demeanor and his close relationship with their boss. Black Cripple, who appeared rather burly and likely served as a bodyguard, felt his heart sink as he watched them all flock around Zuo Ci. He had initially hoped to ride on Zuo Ci's coattails for some benefits, but now they were all revolving around him instead.
These beauties had such limited aspirations! Zuo Ci was no ordinary man. Although older, he was someone who understood how to cherish others!
Cough cough.
In the main hall of the auction, an elderly man in a gray robe held a microphone and smiled as he spoke: "Esteemed guests, I am Huang Baoshan. It is an honor to be invited to meet you all today. This also underscores the significance of this auction; it goes without saying that we should begin today's proceedings without further ado!"
Huang Baoshan? The old master of the Imperial Way?
This old guy is still alive? It seems that Bao Long Auction House has deep roots if they can still summon such an ancient figure!
Heh heh, they must be afraid!
The people seated in the VIP section began to whisper among themselves. The Imperial Way, affiliated with the folk law sect, was renowned for its divine martial arts and the Five Armies. It was rumored that the founder of the Imperial Way, Old Ancestor, was Zhao Shenghou of Yi Shui Zhan Jiao Long, a master of martial arts. Every disciple of the Imperial Way possessed remarkable skills.
Heaven and earth are governed by yin and yang; the path encompasses both literary and martial arts. There was no need for further explanation.
The first item up for auction was a blood-stained jade discovered in a grand tomb from the Warring States period. Despite enduring countless years, it still radiated a translucent dark cyan glow. The host introduced it as being made of Hetian jade, stained with an unknown substance's blood, possessing spiritual communication properties. If crafted into a Yin Card, its effects would be exceptional. The starting price was set at ten million.
