After Li Ya left, Yi Tianyun sat alone in the VIP room drinking tea, from where he had a clear view of the floor below. The auction was about to begin, so many people were already seated, whispering to each other and discussing the items on the block.
The Cultivators bidding down below—not all of them, perhaps, but the vast majority—were of the poorer sort. If they were truly wealthy, they would have come to the VIP rooms to bid, where they could keep their identities hidden and sit in comfort.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that some particularly idle Cultivators simply enjoyed sitting down there to bid. Regardless, Yi Tianyun was determined to win!
As time passed, more and more people gathered in the auction hall. When night fell, the auction officially began. Auctions were held here almost daily, but the number of Treasures on offer depended on the circumstances of the day.
