The Hundred Treasures House's auction hall stood in the heart of Jinyang Prefecture's capital, a multistory circular building.
By the time Zhao Feng, Yin Zheng, and Huo Yao arrived, quite a few guests had already gathered at the entrance, waiting to be admitted.
Everyone carried themselves with distinction. Clearly, none of them were ordinary people.
Zhao Feng had seen quite a few of them during the earlier battle in the underground mine passages. They were experts from the major sects.
With righteous-path experts from Ever-Peace Prefecture and Huaiyuan Prefecture joining them, this auction at the Hundred Treasures House was a lively affair indeed.
Zhao Feng noticed that Elder Lu Hang, whom he had met earlier, was already at the entrance, along with Elder Tang Fan and Wu Nanxing of the Fire Origin Gate.
"Brother Yin."
"Brother Lu, Elder Tang."
After exchanging greetings, they headed toward the entrance together, as the auction was about to begin.
A pretty maid wearing a long dress specially made for the Hundred Treasures House was already waiting at the entrance. "Esteemed seniors, please follow me. Your private rooms are ready."
Under the maid's guidance, they entered the building and turned right, passing through a private corridor carpeted in wool before reaching the second floor, which consisted entirely of private rooms. Lu Hang joined Yin Zheng and his two companions in Room 012, while Elder Tang Fan and Wu Nanxing took the neighboring Room 011.
The entire auction hall below was clearly visible from the private room. As Lu Hang, Yin Zheng, and the others had climbed the stairs, a pair of eyes had followed them intently, only looking away once they entered their room.
Inside the room, Lu Hang and Yin Zheng studied the auction brochure as they leafed through it.
