Chu Ning sat down with Qiu Shunyi and others in the vacant seat, while cultivators were still arriving in the hall one after another.
Later on, Chu Ning noticed that higher-level cultivators continuously arrived and were then invited upstairs.
Chu Ning looked up and saw that the entire second floor was encircled with small rooms.
Those small rooms faced the front direction of the hall with only a layer of what appeared to be a transparent thin curtain, yet Chu Ning could not see anything inside.
Obviously, these small rooms were under some sort of restriction.
The ones sitting above were the real participants of this auction.
After sitting like this for a while, a beautiful mature woman dressed in elegant dark clothes gracefully walked out onto the round stage at the front of the hall.
"Fellow Daoists, welcome everyone to the Cloud Sea Pavilion auction. I am Sikong Lan, the host of today's auction.
