In the dimly lit stone chamber, a figure in black robes stood quietly; judging from his appearance, it was Xiao Yan.
The stone chamber wasn't very large; the square space could only accommodate about ten people. The four walls were bare, except for a stone table in the center of the chamber, with a stone chair on each side.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept around the stone chamber. Just in case, he released his Spiritual Strength, filling the entire chamber, including the four walls, which were carefully examined by Xiao Yan Spiritual Strength.
"Click click click..."
Suddenly, the wall directly in front of Xiao Yan began to shake violently, making a clicking sound like gears turning. A stone door suddenly appeared on the smooth wall and then slowly opened.
Standing behind the door was a maid, which surprised Xiao Yan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the stone chamber you are currently in is where you will be exchanging items. Since our auction house will not be involved in this auction, I must remind you in advance that we will not interfere with your exchange process or outcome. Therefore, the choice to exchange or not is entirely in your hands. If you regret it later, please do not blame our auction house. I hope you understand this."
Just then, Lü Zhongtian's warning voice suddenly came from outside the stone chamber. Upon hearing this, apart from a few powerful groups, most people scoffed and sneered.
What a joke! The item being exchanged is Fusang Flower. These people would be overjoyed to get their hands on it, so why would they go back on their word? Unless that person is incredibly stupid.
As for those powerful figures, they couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing Lü Zhongtian's words. In this way, they would lose their most advantageous protective umbrella during the exchange of Fusang Flower. If the auction house stopped intervening in this matter, then regardless of whether the Fusang Flower they obtained were real or fake, it would be irrelevant to the latter. They would be left with no choice but to suffer in silence.
"Hmph, if you dare to play tricks on me, I'll make sure you're crushed to pieces!"
Inside the stone chamber, Qin Yun's expression was fierce, and a murderous intent surged in his heart. At the same time, the Dou Qi qi within his body rapidly rose.
Meanwhile, in other stone chambers, almost the same scene was gradually unfolding.
Then, the door to the stone chamber closed once more, and it would open again when their exchange was complete.
Inside the stone chamber, Xiao Yan watched as the stone door slammed shut with a heavy thud, his mind racing as he pondered Lü Zhongtian's words.
It's not hard to tell from the latter's words that he didn't want to involve the auction house with their subsequent exchange process. Lü Zhongtian seemed to be intentionally avoiding something. Of course, it could also be just his usual warning, and he was just overthinking it.
"Am I overthinking it?"
Muttering to himself, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. Things hadn't reached that point yet, so there was no use in thinking about it any further. It was better to wait and see what happened after he met the original owner of the mysterious Fusang Flower.
"Click click click..."
Suddenly, the opposite wall made a cracking sound again. Inside the stone chamber, Qin Yun, whose expression was indifferent, raised his gaze and looked towards the stone door.
Immediately afterward, a figure completely shrouded in a wide black robe slowly stepped into the stone chamber. As the figure entered, a unique fragrance immediately wafted towards Qin Yun.
Qin Yun couldn't help but blink, then his expression quickly returned to its coldness. He subtly raised his Dou Qi and stared intently at the person in front of him, as if waiting for something.
At that moment, the black-robed figure extended a withered hand from beneath his sleeve. As his hand rose, a crystal box appeared in his palm. Inside the crystal box stood a six-petaled flower, a Fusang Flower.
Fusang Flower!
Qin Yun's body trembled slightly. Seeing the Fusang Flower at such close range made him unable to contain his emotions.
The Dou Qi within Qin Yun's body suddenly surged, and terrifying cold air instantly emanated from his body, causing the temperature inside the stone chamber to drop abruptly.
Upon seeing this, the figure beneath the black robe couldn't help but let out a cold smile.
"Sir, you're too cold-blooded. Be careful not to freeze my flowers."
A chilling laugh emanated from beneath the black robe.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun's expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the surging Dou Qi within him.
"Tell me what you want. Just give me the Fusang Flower, and you can choose anything you want from here."
With a wave of his hand, Qin Yun's storage Storage Ring flashed with light, and several scrolls and a jade bottle appeared on the stone table in front of Qin Yun.
These items were all treasures stored in his Storage Ring, which he usually cherished. But now, for the sake of the Fusang Flower, he had no choice but to pay the price.
Upon seeing the items before him, a greedy glint immediately flashed in his small eyes beneath the black robe.
The scarlet tongue lightly licked its lips, and the figure seemed somewhat impatient as it hurriedly said:
"Alright, I'll give you the Fusang Flower now, and I'll take all of these things!"
A strange laugh followed, and the figure stretched out a pair of withered hands, as if to take everything in front of it into its arms.
"Wait, these things..."
"Here you go, here you go."
Just then, the figure impatiently tossed the crystal box to Qin Yun. Qin Yun, seeing this, dared not be careless and quickly hugged it to his arms, disregarding Qin Yun and eagerly examining it.
The moment he held the crystal box in his arms, a strong, exotic fragrance suddenly wafted over, so enticing that Qin Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath, instantly feeling much better. But what followed was an overwhelming heat.
" Fusang Flower! I finally got it, hahaha!"
Qin Yun's eyes turned bloodshot, and his smile became almost maniacal. All of this was seen by the man in black robes, who was surprised by the latter's appearance. However, he quickly let out a cold laugh, put away the things on the table, and hurriedly left the stone chamber. He sneered inwardly and then entered another stone chamber.
The same scene played out again; as the figure extended his hand from beneath the black robe, a crystal box appeared...
