"I was busy with this important matter just now, which was why I arrived late. Our Spirit Treasure Pavilion is holding an auction today. We spent a year preparing for it, and it's our first large-scale auction in the Immortal Fate Market," Steward Zhao explained happily to Li Dalong.
Steward Zhao had drawn on considerable connections and resources to make this auction happen, and its results would count toward his own performance.
That was why he attached such importance to it and put so much effort into organizing it. He had originally wanted to invite Li Dalong, too, but had given up when he could not reach him.
He had not expected such a coincidence today: Li Dalong had come over on his own. So, upon hearing the shop assistant's report, he had immediately set aside his work and come to invite Li Dalong in person.
Hearing that there was a large-scale auction, Li Dalong grew interested.
Across two lifetimes, he had never attended an auction and was quite curious about them.
Besides, a large-scale auction was bound to have good things. This was a perfect chance to broaden his horizons, and if anything good came up, he would buy it.
Turning the immortal stones in his System Space into cultivation resources suited to him was a very worthwhile exchange.
"Then this is a perfect chance to broaden my horizons. Thank you for your kind regard, Steward Zhao," Li Dalong promptly thanked him for his warm invitation.
"Fellow Daoist Li, this auction certainly won't disappoint you. Many of the items up for auction are treasures rarely seen, and some were transferred here from headquarters or other branches," Steward Zhao explained enthusiastically, hoping to catch Li Dalong's attention.
"Then please take us over for a look, Steward Zhao," Li Dalong said
