Auction House Opens at Zixiao Palace? Dao Ancestor: I'm Cracking Up, but the Heavenly Dao Says It's Fine!
Hongjun's figure appeared soundlessly atop the platform.
His indifferent gaze swept over the breathless beings below before finally settling on the even grander Xuanji Business Firm than at his previous lecture, and its enormous sign: "Debts Must Be Repaid; If Merit Isn't Enough, Your Body Will Do."

What does he take my sacred ground for? A marketplace? Or a debt collection site?
"This time, three more meditation cushions shall be added." Hongjun's voice was calm, yet it rang clearly in every living being's ears.

Xuanzheng stood out with an Amplifying Magic Treasure in hand, beaming brightly, while a Great Witch beside him expressionlessly put away the bronze gong.
"Fellow Daoists, please remain calm!"
"The addition of three meditation cushions is an act of the Dao Ancestor's benevolence. In order to uphold the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, and to prevent private fights from harming the harmony among fellow disciples, with the tacit approval of the Dao Ancestor himself—"
Hongjun's eyelid twitched sharply atop the platform.

Xuanzheng's voice rose and fell dramatically, brimming with seductive power.
"The highest bidder wins! All proceeds will be used for the 'Primordial Great Dao Dissemination and Spiritual Civilization Development Special Fund'! Every spiritual treasure will become a cornerstone of Primordial prosperity!"
