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

Without further ado, Lin Tian handed over the matters at the auction house to Wang Wei, instructing him to keep an eye on the venue.

Wang Wei nodded in agreement and didn't ask any further questions.

Lin Tian led Wang Teng out of the Zhutian Auction House and headed south along Xuanwu Street.

Along the way, many people recognized him.

The cultivators who had just come out of the auction house had their eyes shining, as if they had seen a god.

When they saw Lin Tian, ​​they were stunned for a moment, and then their faces lit up with excitement.

Someone shouted, "Boss Lin is out!" and people immediately swarmed around him.

"Mr. Lin, is the next auction still in ten days?"

"Boss Lin, where did you get all those treasures?"

"Boss Lin, you sold that pill for 600,000 spirit stones today. Will you be able to sleep tonight?"

Questions came one after another, but Lin Tian wasn't annoyed. He had a faint smile on his face and answered them perfunctorily as he walked.

Someone asked him if there was anything better for the next game, and he said yes.

Someone even asked him if he had any plans to get married, which drew laughter from those around him.

Lin Tian shook his head, stepped out of the crowd, glanced back, cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, and then strode away.

The group of people behind him were still talking, and many of them could tell that the guard was no ordinary person, and his eyes were too frightening.

Lin Tian ignored him; his mind was already on the Azure Dragon Auction House.

……

The Qinglong Auction House had a large storefront, a three-story building with upturned eaves and a gilded plaque above the door. Back then, it was one of the most impressive buildings in Xuantian City.

But at this moment, the two guards leaned listlessly against the door frame, and the hall was deserted, with not a single voice speaking.

Lin Tian stood at the door for a couple of glances and made up his mind. Business was indeed bad, just as he had expected.

He stepped onto the stairs, and the two dozing guards were jolted awake by the sound of his footsteps. When they saw it was Lin Tian, ​​their expressions changed instantly.

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin!"

Lin Tian smiled slightly at them and said gently.

"Brothers, I have something to discuss with Master Shen. Could you please inform him?"

The guard nodded quickly and immediately ran into the auction house.

Shen Yuan and Qian Tong sat facing each other in a private room on the second floor. There were two cups of tea on the table, but the tea had long gone cold and neither of them had drunk it.

Shen Yuan was dressed in a blue spiritual robe and had a refined appearance, but at this moment his face looked somewhat haggard, as if he hadn't slept well for several days.

Qian Tong sat opposite him, his round body squeezed into the chair, his thick eyebrows furrowed into a knot.

Shen Yuan spoke first, his voice filled with an indescribable weariness: "President Qian, this can't go on like this."

"The occupancy rate of both our restaurants has dropped significantly recently."

"We can't let this hard-earned foundation be ruined in our hands; we have to find a way!"

Qian Tong shook his head and sighed, a long and heavy sigh:

"What method are you thinking of?"

"Brother Shen, we all worked our way up step by step; we have no connections whatsoever."

"The All-Heavens Auction House can offer third- and fourth-tier items for sale. What do we have to compete with them?"

"Those powerful clan leaders are all hoarding spirit stones, waiting to spend them at the Heavenly Auction House. Who would bother coming here?"

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, his eyes dimming. "President Qian, what do you suggest we do?"

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the carvings on the ceiling, and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"If all else fails, let's leave Xuantian City."

"The Great Yan Dynasty is so big, I don't believe I can't make it in other cities."

"I heard that there isn't a decent auction house in Qingzhou City yet. Let's go there and open a new venue, starting from scratch."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes dimmed even further.

Leaving Xuantian City is easier said than done.

Qinglong Auction House finally established itself here; his connections and business were here, and he had lived here for most of his life.

Qian Tong remained silent.

He didn't know what to say, and the two of them just sat there in silence, neither looking at the other.

Just then, a guard rushed up and whispered a few words in Shen Yuan's ear.

Shen Yuan's brows furrowed slightly before slowly relaxing, and finally a strange light flickered in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Qian Tong, his expression changing from tired to puzzled.

"President Qian, Mr. Lin from Zhutian Auction House has arrived."

Shen Yuan's voice was very low, but everyone could hear the urgency in his tone, "It's downstairs."

Qian Tong's hand suddenly trembled!

"What's he here for?" Qian Tong's voice carried a hint of seriousness. Could it be that he's here to humiliate him?

Shen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, but since he came in person, it must be something important."

After going downstairs, the two saw Lin Tian standing tall in the lobby, with the big guy behind him.

The two walked quickly forward, and Shen Yuan spoke first, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of probing:

"Mr. Lin, it is an honor to have you here. I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Lin Tian smiled slightly, nodded, and looked at the two of them.

"Boss Shen, Boss Qian, I won't beat around the bush."

Lin Tian's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear: "I've come today because there's something I'd like to discuss with you two."

Shen Yuan and Qian Tong exchanged a glance, both seeing tension and anticipation in each other's eyes.

Shen Yuan bowed slightly: "Please speak, Boss Lin."

Lin Tian tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table, as if organizing his thoughts, and then said:

"As you two have probably noticed, the auction market in Xuantian City has changed."

"Although the Zhutian Auction House is newly opened, neither of you can produce the items you have on hand."

Shen Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he did not refute it.

Lin Tian continued, "I didn't mean to put you two down. In business, everyone relies on their own abilities."

"But I'm here today to give you both a chance."

Shen Yuan raised his head, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "What opportunity?"

Lin Tian leaned back in his chair and looked into Shen Yuan's eyes: "The two of you can turn the auction house into a branch of the All-Heavens Auction House."

"No need to change the staff, no need to change the location, you are still the same people, you just need to hang up the sign of the All Heavens Auction House."

"I will supply the goods from the All Heavens Auction House. You just need to sell them. The profits from spirit stones will be split as usual."

Shen Yuan and the other man exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Qian Tong's voice trembled slightly: "Boss Lin, do you mean... that we two should become your branches?"

Lin Tian shook his head: "Not two companies, but one. I'll only choose one."

"As for the two of you, you can decide for yourselves who will be the boss of this branch."

Shen Yuan fell silent, tapping his fingers lightly on his knees as his mind raced.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken to see Qinglong Auction House become someone else's branch.

But he also knew that if he didn't agree, the Azure Dragon Auction House wouldn't last much longer.

Rather than waiting to die, seize this opportunity.

The Heavenly Auction House can offer third- and fourth-tier items for sale; even if they just drop a few, it's enough for the Azure Dragon Auction House to make a fortune.

Moreover, Lin Tian's conditions didn't sound harsh; it was just that he had the title of the All Heavens Auction House.
