System Auction Shop, I'll sell out across all realms!

In Yanfeng County, a city more than 100 kilometers away from Xuantian City, an inconspicuous tavern was bustling with activity.

A man dressed in a gray short-sleeved shirt stood in the middle of the lobby, talking animatedly with spittle flying everywhere.

There were more than a dozen tables of guests around, some holding wine glasses and others with food in their chopsticks, which were hanging in mid-air.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, afraid of missing a single word.

"Do you know the grade of those last two prized items?"

The rogue cultivator's voice rose incredibly high, almost cracking his throat.

"A top-grade third-tier spirit beast cub and a mid-grade fourth-tier life-extending elixir!"

A collective gasp filled the tavern.

"Those two items are rarely seen even in our Yanfeng County!"

The rogue cultivator became more and more excited as he spoke, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and wiped his mouth.

"As for those fourth-tier items, I've lived for over forty years, and I've only heard of them once in the county town!"

"once!"

"It happened at the city lord's banquet, and it alarmed several important figures from surrounding cities!"

Inside the tavern, everyone stared at the cultivator in shock. Some had their mouths agape, while others stared wide-eyed, forgetting to blink.

They couldn't believe it.

Xuantian City!

That city, which is one level lower than Yanfeng County City, actually auctions off items of that caliber?

Mid-grade fourth rank?

A miracle drug for prolonging life?

A Tier 3 Top-Grade Spirit Beast Cub?

These things would be treasures kept at the bottom of the chest in Yanfeng County, so how could they appear in Xuantian City?

Seeing that no one believed him, the rogue cultivator became so anxious that his face turned red, and he slammed his hand on the table:

Why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes!

"When the Ganoderma lucidum was brought out, the entire auction hall was filled with mist; its life force was as dense as water!"

"The Wang family patriarch bought it for 100,000 spirit stones!"

"And that tiger, the Xiao family spent 250,000 spirit stones on it!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand! The Xiao family has emptied their coffers and sold off their assets to raise this money!"

As the rogue cultivator spoke, he became excited, gesturing wildly as if he were telling a story.

"You didn't see that scene. The patriarchs of the four major families took turns bidding, and even the Lord of Xuantian City got involved."

"In the end, the Xiao family staked their entire family's fate, and they won!"

The tavern was quiet for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

Someone grabbed the rogue monk's sleeve and wouldn't let go, insisting that he explain every single detail.

The rogue cultivator, seemingly unbothered, puffed out his chest and continued speaking, spitting as he went.

Just as the rogue monk was vividly recounting what he had seen and heard at the auction.

Several tables in the corner stood up silently, put down their money for drinks, and quickly walked out of the tavern.

They were all spies for various powerful forces, searching for information in various places every day.

They flocked to taverns, teahouses, and markets wherever there was news.

The news today is so big that they dare not waste a single moment.

Once outside the tavern, the group scattered and ran off in all directions within the city.

One of the spies ran wildly, crossing three streets.

They stopped in front of a vermilion gate.

He was panting heavily, and looked up at the plaque above the door.

——Tianyuan Martial Arts School!

The four large characters are vigorous and powerful, with strokes as sharp as knives.

The scout entered without prior notice.

I ran through the front yard, around the screen wall, and then jogged to the back yard.

The backyard was paved with bluestone slabs, and several weapon racks were placed in the corner.

The weapons on the shelf all showed varying degrees of wear and tear, clearly indicating years of use.

In the center of the courtyard, a burly man in his early thirties was practicing boxing shirtless.

Each punch was accompanied by a whistling wind, making the air buzz.

His muscles were clearly defined, and his body was covered with scars of all sizes.

His eyes were sharp as knives, and his whole body exuded a fierce and valiant aura from years of battle.

This is Mo Tian, ​​the headmaster of Tianyuan Martial Arts Academy.

A fourth-tier Transcendent Realm early stage expert, ranking among the top five in the entire Yanfeng County.

In his early years, he roamed the wilderness, fighting for ten years in the Monster Mountain Range.

He crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and later returned to Yanfeng County City to open this martial arts school, where he took on disciples and passed on his skills, gaining a great reputation.

The scout ran up, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Master, news has come from Xuantian City that there has been a major commotion."

Mo Tian's fist stopped in mid-air, and he slowly withdrew his stance, turning around to look at the scout.

His face was expressionless, but his eyes were like two knives, making the scout feel a chill down his spine.

"explain."

The scout took a deep breath and recounted everything he had heard in the tavern.

With each word he spoke, Mo Tian's brows furrowed more deeply.

After the scout finished speaking, his brows were furrowed into an unresolved knot.

Mo Tian remained silent for a long time, an incredulous look appearing in his eyes.

He had seen the world, fought against fourth-tier monsters in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, and met true powerhouses in other cities.

It's a mid-grade, fourth-tier longevity elixir—this kind of thing.

In the major cities he once roamed, these treasures would have attracted fierce competition from various factions.

And Xuantian City, a small place even lower than Yanfeng County City, actually had an item of this caliber at auction.

"The Heavenly Auction House?" Mo Tian murmured to himself, repeating the name over and over.

"Never heard of it."

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"However, the next auction."

"Let's go take a look!"

Within Yanfeng County, the Gao family and the Sun family are the most powerful clans.

Both families have been entrenched in the county town for over a century, possessing profound foundations and numerous experts. Even the city lord has to give them some face.

At this moment, the council hall inside the Gao family mansion was brightly lit.

Clan Chief Gao Qiming sat in the main seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

The scout knelt below the hall and recounted everything he had heard in the tavern.

His face was expressionless, calm on the surface, and his hand holding the teacup did not tremble at all.

After the scout finished speaking, he knelt there, not daring to raise his head.

The council chamber remained silent for a long time, so long that the scouts began to sweat.

Gao Qiming finally spoke, his voice low, as if he were talking to himself:

"A mid-grade fourth-tier... Xuan Tian City?"

He put down his teacup and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table.

How could a mid-grade fourth-tier treasure appear in such a small place that isn't even a prefecture city?

This is completely unreasonable.

Gao Qiming remained silent for a moment, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Could the owner of the Heavenly Auction House be someone who came down from the capital for training?

Only this explanation makes sense.

Ordinary people simply cannot produce treasures of that level.

Even the largest merchant house in the county town couldn't come up with enough mid-grade fourth-tier items to sell.

Anyone capable of such a large-scale operation must have powerful backing.

"I'll go see the auction in ten days in person."

Gao Qiming stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the night outside.
