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

Lin Tian put down his teacup and got straight to the point.

"Are all nine of you here to compete for a branch of my All-Heavens Auction House?"

The nine people nodded repeatedly, their expressions becoming increasingly respectful.

"I won't waste any more words. Once you secure the branch qualification, I'll give you three guarantees."

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly held their breath and listened intently.

"First, among all the realms of heaven and earth, the rules are the most supreme."

"Enter the gates of my heavens, and you will be protected by my heavens."

"No matter how powerful or influential a visitor is, if they dare to bully the weak or cause trouble at the auction house, I will make sure they never leave."

A light shone in the eyes of all nine people, and many of them quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest fear in the auction house business is local bullies causing trouble.

They have no power or influence, and when faced with disputes, they can only swallow their anger.

Lin Tian's promise undoubtedly provided them with the most reliable protection.

"Secondly, exclusive benefits."

"The regular spirit stone rewards are just the basics; I will distribute additional rewards separately later."

"You all know the depth of the Heavenly Auction House. My reward is enough to completely rewrite the fate of a cultivator."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

They knew the true strength of the Zhutian Auction House!

Sixth-tier pills, top-tier cultivation techniques, rare spiritual seeds...

These priceless treasures, which are hard for ordinary people to obtain in their lifetime, are not unusual in the auction houses of the heavens.

For them, receiving Lin Tian's personal reward was a golden opportunity to rise to the top.

Third, social status.

"The reputation of all the heavens is our strongest foundation."

"By using the name of the Heavenly Auction House, your status and position will naturally rise accordingly."

Lin Tian leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the stone table.

"Alright, let's take turns talking about our respective strengths, from left to right."

The first speaker was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a brocade robe, with an elegant demeanor.

He spoke clearly and logically, from the auction house's current size to its geographical location.

He explained everything in detail, demonstrating his business acumen.

After listening, Lin Tian nodded indifferently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing: "Next."

The second person was a lean young man with sharp eyes and spoke very quickly.

His auction house is located in a remote small town in Qingzhou, in a less than ideal location.

However, he has extensive connections and maintains good relations with many small sects in the surrounding area, which allows him to steadily secure a customer base.

The third person was a well-off middle-aged man with kind eyes and brows.

The next few people took turns stepping forward to describe their advantages.

Lin Tian remained calm throughout, showing neither joy nor anger, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

Lin Tian's gaze only flickered slightly when the eighth person stood up.

This man was around forty years old, dressed in a dark blue robe, with a tall and upright posture, and his eyebrows and eyes exuded nobility.

This composure does not come from cultivation, but from the foundation of a person who has long held a high position and comes from a prestigious family.

"Master Lin, I am Zhao Tianming, the owner of the Tianyan Auction House in the Great Yan Royal City."

"My father is Zhao Ji, the current prime minister."

Lin Tian understood.

Tianyan Auction House, relying on the Zhao family's influence, is one of the top auction houses in the royal city, and its strength is beyond doubt.

Zhao Tianming spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, and his words were concise and refined.

Lin Tian listened, his expression remaining calm: "Next."

The last person to get up was a young woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old.

She was slender and wore a light blue dress, looking frail and delicate.

Her face was delicate and refined, but her eyes were clear and pure.

However, there were faint dark circles under his eyes, revealing the fatigue from days of hard work.

Even so, she stood straight, her posture as upright as ever.

His voice was slightly hoarse, yet clear and firm.

"This junior is Shen Ling'er, owner of Luoyun Auction House in Luoyun City, Qingzhou."

She paused slightly, a barely perceptible hint of sadness flashing across her eyes.

"Luoyun Auction House is the culmination of my father's life's work. When he was alive, the shop was one of the top merchants in Luoyun City."

"After my father passed away, I took over the business, but it gradually declined due to suppression from others."

Shen Ling'er spoke calmly, her eyes resolute.

"Luoyun City is located in the center of Qingzhou and is a vital hub for caravans from the north and south. Its location is exceptionally advantageous."

"The owner of Wakabayashi Farm is willing to set up a branch here."

"I am fully responsible for the venue, manpower, and all the trivial matters."

"The supply of goods depends on the heavens, and the distribution of profits is entirely up to the forest owner."

"My only wish is to preserve the Luoyun Auction House and safeguard my father's life's work."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood quietly in place, her gaze fixed firmly on Lin Tian, ​​her fists clenched at her sides, her posture unyielding.

After all nine people finished their self-narrations, the tea on the stone table had long since gone cold.

Lin Tian picked up the herbal tea and took a sip.

This is putting me in a difficult position; they all sound good...

Fortunately, I had already asked the system!

He looked up at the crowd, his voice calm yet resounding.

"There are two openings for each branch this time."

"The first one is Zhao Tianming from the Tianyan Auction House in the Great Yan Royal City."

Zhao Tianming clenched his fists suddenly, a surge of joy welling up inside him, which he forcefully suppressed.

He stood up and bowed, his tone revealing his excitement, yet he remained composed.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Forestry Manager!"

"Tianyan Auction House will certainly fulfill its duties and live up to the trust placed in it!"

Lin Tian nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

"The second one is Luoyun City, Luoyun Auction House, and Shen Ling'er."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

All eyes turned to Shen Ling'er, filled with confusion and doubt.

A dilapidated auction house on the verge of bankruptcy, and a powerless little girl.

How did we manage to squeeze out so many strong competitors and secure the branch location?

Shen Ling'er herself was completely stunned, standing there blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply, almost to her knees.

Her bright, large eyes were filled with glistening tears.

"Master Forester... I am at a loss for words. I can only do my utmost and never let you down!"

"No need for further explanation."

Lin Tian raised his hand to interrupt, his tone indifferent.

"Go back and repair the shop, replace the Heavenly Signboard, and await my instructions."

"The goods have arrived, and the first auction will begin immediately."

Shen Ling'er nodded vigorously, the light in her eyes completely dispelling the gloom of the past few days.

Though his fingertips were still trembling slightly, they were full of hope.

The other seven unsuccessful candidates, filled with disappointment and envy, silently bowed and took their leave.

The two major divisions of the heavens have been settled.

Tianyan Auction House is a sure-fire winner, with a solid foundation.

With steady operation, it can bring a continuous stream of benefits to all the heavens.

The Luoyun Auction House was a hidden pawn that he (the system) had his eye on.

The main problem is that nobody knows that Shen Ling'er has an extraordinary identity.

She was actually a chosen one!

The moment Shen Ling'er stepped into the secret realm, a system notification sounded in Lin Tian's mind.

"Ding! The chosen one of destiny has been detected: Shen Ling'er."

"Luck Level: Purple (Slightly Above Average)"

Current status: Low point in life, but luck is steadily improving.

"It is recommended that the host cultivate a deep friendship with the host, which may trigger a resonance of destiny and blessings."

Lin Tian understood.

No wonder this girl remained steadfast in dire straits; she possesses an incredible inner resilience. It turns out she's a natural-born chosen one.

……

So what if you're the chosen one? What are you in front of the system?

You have to work for me obediently too.
