"The auction continued.
Over roughly the next hour, more than a dozen superior-grade treasures and high-grade grand pills went under the hammer.
Zuo Muxian also seized the opportunity, spending three thousand taels on a bottle of "Origin-Congealing Pills" for breaking through late-stage transformation force.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the auction reached its climax.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we now come to the final five crowning treasures of this Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction. Every one is a rare prize, so do not let this opportunity slip away!"

"Our first crowning treasure is a top-tier spirit embryo defensive item-the Black Rhino Radiance Armor!"
Lü Cheng's voice rang like a great bell, charged with excitement:
"This armor was forged from the soul bones of a fourth-rank treasure beast, the Centennial Blackwater Rhino, blended with ten catties of black iron essence and three catties of deep-sea cold crystal. Our pavilion's master artificer spent three years tempering it!"
"Our pavilion has verified its properties together with several gang force experts. When a fatal attack strikes, the armor automatically releases a Blackwater Origin Astral barrier, capable of withstanding a full-force blow from an inner astral force expert without breaking!"
