This private room is located on the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion. The entire auction house is divided into three floors, and Qin Chen and the others are still on the first floor above, offering a better view and a superior position.
To this private room, Xing Tianya seems a bit surprised. After all, when he previously came to handle the VIP token, although he did not reveal his identity as the ancestor of the Martial Soul Sea, he did subtly release a hint of the aura of a peak mid-stage Saint Master. A peak mid-stage Saint Master is considered the top expert even among medium forces like Guangyue Tian. Even though Dongguang City is a border city in the Eastern Sky Realm, where powerful figures abound and various business associations exist, generally, they wouldn't dare to underestimate them.
After all, late-stage Saint Masters are all major figures in their respective realms.
But now, they have only been assigned to a private room on the second floor, which shows that there are individuals with stronger abilities or greater backgrounds in the third-floor private rooms.
Realizing this, Xing Tianya couldn't help but frown. It seems this auction is attracting quite a number of top experts.
Qin Chen also clearly noticed this point, his gaze flickering. He must not reveal his identity in the Eastern Sky Realm; otherwise, if the news reaches the Yaomie Mansion, it would definitely be noticed by the Lord of Yaomie Mansion, and at that time, Wen Hantian would inevitably be in danger.
However, the presence of so many big shots and experts also excited Qin Chen. The more experts that come today, the more astonishing the treasures being auctioned, which piqued his interest.
To be honest, after entering the Heavenly Realm, Qin Chen had never attended an auction here. He didn't know if this auction in the Heavenly Realm was any different from those in the Tianwu Continent.
The auction house should be using a large hall in the City Lord's Mansion, temporarily renovated. The area is quite vast, and the lower hall is densely packed with people. Qin Chen glanced around and estimated there were at least several thousand people. There are also dozens of private rooms above.
Even so, there are still many people who couldn't enter. If it weren't for Xing Tianya handling it in advance, even if the two of them managed to get in, they probably wouldn't have enjoyed the luxury of this private room.
At this moment, the hall was filled with noise, as countless people gathered in groups of three to five, whispering to each other, discussing matters. Obviously, the auction had yet to begin.
Only in the second and third-floor private rooms was it quiet, with not a sound to be heard. Each private room had restrictions to prevent ordinary divine senses from scanning. Although these restrictions weren't too strong since they were temporarily set up, they were enough to filter out most people's prying.
The martial artists below looked at the private rooms with envy on their faces.
"Have a seat."
As Qin Chen spoke, the three of them had already taken their seats. The spacious private room felt very comfortable.
Soon, a maid entered, bringing tea and fruit platters, surprisingly featuring relatively rare holy fruits. A bite reveals their sweet juice flowing, making the holy essence circulate in their bodies, warming them up.
Qin Chen and You Qianxue sat close together, facing the auction stage outside. Qin Chen smiled and said, "Qianxue, if you see anything you like later, just quote a price."
"I'm just here to enjoy the excitement..." You Qianxue chuckled, as she didn't lack for anything.
Not long into their conversation, a loud sound came from the hall, and suddenly, a scruffy old man, looking like a beggar, jumped up onto the auction stage.
This man had unkempt whiskers and tattered clothing, looking extremely shabby. His hair was messy, appearing as if he hadn’t washed it in thousands of years. He seemed to be half-asleep, giving off a lazy vibe, and walking on the road, he'd definitely be mistaken for a beggar.
