Thousand Spirits Planet, Golden Maple Valley.
Early that morning, just as dawn broke, the streets were packed with a tide of people and bustling with carriages and traffic.
A golden palace over a hundred feet tall stood there, its blue plaque bearing three large golden characters: "Golden Maple Hall." A long line stretched from its entrance as great numbers of cultivators queued to enter. Today was the day of the auction.
"I heard there'll be top-grade pills for sale this time. I've cultivated for a thousand years, yet I've never even seen a top-grade pill!"
"I heard the top-grade pills at this auction were put up by Ten Thousand Gourd True Man. I've long heard of Ten Thousand Gourd True Man's great reputation, but I've never seen him in person! If I can catch a glimpse of Senior Han's true appearance, this trip will not have been in vain."
"Haha, I was fortunate enough to meet Senior Han half a month ago."
The cultivators chatted animatedly as they entered the venue one after another.

Han Wenlong and Han Zhangxiang sat inside the private room, their gazes fixed on a blue magic mirror embedded in the stone wall.
The mirror displayed the scene in the main hall. At the center of the hall stood a blue circular platform over a thousand feet wide, upon which sat a square blue jade table and a blue jade stool.
