The Grand Finale Was Specially Prepared by Our New Field Master!

Night had not yet fully fallen, yet the Seven Treasures Auction House in Suotuo City was already brilliantly lit.

Brand-new colorful banners fluttered in the wind, each bearing the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda emblem that represented wealth and glory. They gave the entire auction house a fresh new look, exuding a flamboyant grandeur utterly unlike before.

Li An stood at the entrance of the auction house, wearing a standard welcoming smile.

Even his manager's uniform seemed to have been pressed especially neatly, and he radiated a long-lost vigor.

"Right this way, sir."

"Welcome to the Seven Treasures Auction House."

"Today's auction will definitely make your trip worthwhile."

He warmly greeted every guest who entered through the doors.

Just then, two figures approached side by side, their extraordinary bearing drawing the attention of the surrounding soul masters.

Leading the way was a burly man—Wu Chen, the Field Master of Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena.

The man beside him appeared more refined. Dressed in the official robes of the City Lord's Mansion, he was Suotuo City Lord Liu Shaobing.

At the sight of them, Li An's smile grew even broader.

These were Suotuo City's two most influential figures.

Their presence alone was the best advertisement.

Li An hurried forward and bowed.

"City Lord Liu, Field Master Wu, your presence truly brings honor to the Seven Treasures Auction House."

He was exceedingly respectful.

Wu Chen grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Manager Li, City Lord Liu and I have given you face by coming this time, haven't we?"

His voice carried a trace of roughness.

Liu Shaobing stood beside him with a calm expression. He said nothing, but his gaze held scrutiny.

"Manager Li, this won't be another flashy disappointment, will it?"

Upon hearing that, Li An hurriedly waved his hands.

"Not at all, not at all. It is our honor that the two of you have come."

"Even if you two don't have faith in me, you should have faith in the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with the surname 'Ning.'"

He skillfully invoked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"This time, the Field Master spent a great deal of money organizing this auction!"

Li An deliberately emphasized the words "great deal of money."

Wu Chen spoke again.

"Manager Li, give us a little advance scoop."

"What exactly is being auctioned?"

He looked quite curious.

Li An chuckled.

He knew that revealing just enough would better whet their appetites.

"I can tell you, but please don't spread it around."

He lowered his voice and put on a mysterious air.

Both Wu Chen and Liu Shaobing became interested.

"Let's hear it."

Wu Chen urged.

Li An looked around, making sure no unrelated people had come close.

"This auction's items will absolutely satisfy you both."

"There's a Thousand Year Soul Beast. Alive!"

Wu Chen's eyes lit up.

That first revelation alone was substantial enough.

A living Thousand Year Soul Beast was a rare sight indeed.

"There's also a Space Soul Tool—a large one!"

Li An continued raising the stakes.

Even Liu Shaobing's expression shifted slightly.

Space Soul Tools were already rare, and ones with large storage capacity were even more precious!

"And then there are exotic beauties—36D!"

Li An dropped the third bombshell.

Wu Chen could not help but burst into laughter.

"You guys really put some thought into this."

"But what's the finale item?"

He had asked the most crucial question.

The smile on Li An's face grew even brighter, carrying a hint of pride.

"As for the finale item, our new Field Master specially prepared it!"

"But..."

He suddenly changed his tone.

"I still don't know exactly what it is!"

Li An shrugged, looking both helpless and expectant.

Wu Chen and Liu Shaobing exchanged a glance.

Even the manager did not know what the finale item was?

That really whetted their appetites.

"Fine, you've got skills."

Wu Chen patted Li An on the shoulder.

"Let's go in and take a look first."

Liu Shaobing nodded as well.

Li An immediately turned around and said, "Please, gentlemen!"

"The VIP seats are ready. Please come inside!"

He gave the young female attendant beside him a look.

The attendant immediately stepped forward and bowed to Wu Chen and Liu Shaobing.

"Honored guests, please follow me."

Wu Chen and Liu Shaobing followed the attendant through the doors of the Auction House.

Quite a few people had already gathered in the auction hall, and the atmosphere was far livelier than usual.

Li An watched the two important guests enter and let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed the first wave of promotion had worked well.

Just as he was about to continue greeting the other guests, a subordinate hurried over.

"Manager Li, the Field Master wants to see you!"

the subordinate said, panting.

Li An's heart leaped with joy.

The Field Master wanted to see him—could it be that he was about to hand over the finale item to him?

At once, his heart filled with anticipation.

"Alright!"

"Xiao Wang, greet the guests here in my place."

Li An gave the order to Xiao Wang, the subordinate who had been following him, then quickly headed toward the rear courtyard.

At the same time, on the official road outside Suotuo City's gates, a group of six people walked toward the city gate.

At the front was a tall, lean middle-aged man wearing a simple robe, yet it could not conceal his distinctive aura.

He was none other than Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy.

Behind him followed Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun, five young men and women.

As they walked, Flender spoke.

"I never expected such a grand auction to be held in Suotuo City today."

"How did I not hear any news of it beforehand?"

Then he turned his head and said, "Kids, I originally planned to take you to the Great Soul Arena."

"Since we've run into an auction, let's go take a look."

He changed the plan on the spot.

Among the students, Tang San nodded, though he began calculating in his heart.

"An auction... I still have a few things on hand. Should I take out a couple to sell as well?"

He thought of the Hidden Weapons he had made. In this world, they might fetch a good price.

Li An had already arrived in the backyard.

He passed through the corridor and headed straight for the small building where the Field Master's Office was located.

A man in black stood at the entrance of the building.

Li An found it strange.

The man in black had a steady aura, standing there like a mountain.

He had never seen guards stationed outside the Field Master's Office.

Moreover, this guard's aura made him feel a hint of pressure.

A thought flashed through Li An's mind.

He was a level forty-seven Soul Ancestor! For someone to make him feel pressured, that person had to be at least a Soul King!

This new Field Master actually had a Soul King expert as a guard. His background truly was extraordinary.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands toward the man in black.

"Brother, I'm Li An, supervisor of the Auction House."

"The Field Master summoned me."

The man in black said nothing. He merely stepped aside, indicating that Li An could enter.

Li An's heart tightened.

The guard's reaction only confirmed his suspicions.

He took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the Field Master's Office.

The room was somewhat dim, with the curtains drawn tightly shut.

Ning Liu sat behind the desk, holding something in his hand.

Li An walked forward and bowed respectfully.

"Field Master, you summoned me?"

He raised his head to look at Ning Liu, and his gaze immediately fell upon the pajamas in Ning Liu's hand.

The expression on his face instantly froze.

That was... a set of pajamas?

And... they were pink, with rabbit ears?

Wh-what was going on?

Li An's mind went blank.

He had thought the Field Master was going to entrust him with some earth-shattering treasure.

Could it really be these pajamas?

Seeing Li An's petrified expression, Ning Liu naturally guessed what he was thinking.

He cleared his throat, doing his best to keep his voice calm.

"Supervisor Li, you're here."

Li An forced out a smile, his voice somewhat dry.

"Yes, Field Master."

"You... you summoned me. What are your instructions?"

He asked cautiously.

Ning Liu placed the pajamas in his hand on the desk.

In the dim light, the pajamas looked rather conspicuous.

"Supervisor Li, how are the preparations for the auction going?"

Ning Liu did not immediately explain the matter of the pajamas.

He wanted to hear about Li An's progress first.

Li An came back to his senses and immediately gave his report.

"Field Master, I've contacted the prominent factions in the city, several long-established shops, and the Soul Master mercenary groups we know."

He paused.

"So far, we've received some decent items, such as Thousand Year Soul Beasts, Soul Tools..."

"However, we're still some way short of the nine 'presentable' auction items you mentioned."

Li An spoke truthfully.

Ning Liu nodded at his words.

"I know."

"Time is indeed a little tight."

His gaze fell on the pajamas again.

"However, I've already made arrangements for this finale item."

Ning Liu pointed at the pajamas on the table.

Li An's mouth fell slightly open.

"It... it really is!"

Li An's heart was filled with doubts and shock.

He wanted to ask, but he did not dare.

Ning Liu seemed to see through Li An's confusion.

"Supervisor Li, I know you have many questions."

"This auction item is indeed somewhat special."

"You only need to follow the normal procedure and put it up on the auction stage."
