Guo Qiang said, "Of course, as long as it's from our sect, there are basically spots. Except for the Sect Master, all the Gate Masters will attend. But don't worry, even if you have a grievance with Ling Wei'ao, the Gate Master of Tian Men, your master has instructed that Senior Sister Jie Qingxia, the Gate Master of Gui Zai Men, will protect you."
Ming Zhi Tian gave an awkward smile, "Really? I'm so happy."
Guo Qiang said, "Right, what were you going to say just now?"
Ming Zhi Tian said, "I've been here for so long and haven't written a letter to my friends yet. Where can I send mail from here?"
Guo Qiang said, "The Letter Sending Pavilion is at the sect entrance. There are immortal pigeons there specifically for sending mail. There are direction maps for various locations. Choose the immortal pigeon according to the direction."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Oh, do you have time? Accompany me to a nearby town. I've been at Qi Shan Zhang Tian Yue for so many days, I'm almost going crazy. If I don't go out and wander, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Guo Qiang said, "Of course, it's my honor to accompany Brother Zhi Tian."
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly, "Saying such things. Let's go."
Guo Qiang nodded and said as they walked, "What kind of letter do you want to send? Is it to a lover?"
Ming Zhi Tian followed and said, "A letter of greeting."
Guo Qiang said, "It just so happens that we'll pass by the Letter Sending Pavilion on our way out, so we'll send it then, and then we'll go to the nearby Xuan Yang City to wander."
They arrived at the Letter Sending Pavilion, wrote a letter, and then chose a plump and clever immortal pigeon to send to Wan Li Sen Mu.
Guo Qiang chuckled and nudged Ming Zhi Tian with his elbow, "Brother Zhi Tian, you're not being honest. You said you weren't sending a letter to a lover? Wan Li Sen Mu is all women. Besides a lover, could it be your relative?"
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Just a friend, purely."
Guo Qiang didn't believe it, "Pure friendship? Between a man and a woman? I don't believe it."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Believe it or not, are we going or not?"
Guo Qiang said, "Let's go."
...
Upon arriving at Xuan Yang City, there were no finer delicacies or rare antiques. Ming Zhi Tian first had a big meal with Guo Qiang, but Guo Qiang paid. Ming Zhi Tian didn't have to spend a dime, even though he knew Ming Zhi Tian was now a rich man. But when someone is hosting, why would they let the guest pay?
Suddenly, he overheard people at another table happily saying, "Do you know? Today's Hong Chang Auction House has a batch of Imperial-grade Dharma artifacts, all of which are top-tier treasures."
Another person became interested, "When does it start? I can't wait any longer. I'll hurry home and bring enough money. I want to bid for an Imperial-grade Dharma artifact and make those who once looked down on me kneel before me!"
That person said, "It starts at noon."
Upon hearing about Imperial-grade Dharma artifacts, Ming Zhi Tian suddenly remembered the Cold Iron Gauntlets, "Could it be that Wu Shangjin sold it here?"
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Let's go to the Hong Chang Auction House."
Guo Qiang was puzzled, "It hasn't started yet."
Ming Zhi Tian didn't want to miss it, "Let's go wait and pick a good spot."
Guo Qiang nodded, "Alright."
...
Ming Zhi Tian and Guo Qiang arrived at the Hong Chang Auction House, chose a good spot, and sat there waiting.
A staff member approached. Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand, "No need to entertain us. You're busy."
The staff member was a little bewildered and then went to prepare for the auction.
Guo Qiang saw his thoughts, "Is there something you want?"
Ming Zhi Tian answered ambiguously, "I don't know if there is."
Guo Qiang didn't understand and could only accompany him to the end. Noon soon arrived. Many people had gathered in the venue by then, most of them from all corners of the world. There were many people, but the venue was large enough, the seats were sufficient, and there were snacks and desserts, everything one could want. The order was maintained, and there were still empty seats.
The lights flashed, and a group of beauties in purple qipaos walked in a line. The host of the finale, wearing a white qipao with green trim, pushed a large auction cart onto the stage. Her curvaceous figure, her subtly arched slender waist, and her round, shapely hips graced the stage. She stood still and began her speech.
"Welcome to the Hong Chang Auction House. I am the Auction Supervisor, Xiao Ci. Welcome to this grand event, where treasures are presented and none are missed. I declare, the auction officially begins!
Now, for our first finale item: a Crystal Orb. Its functions are to measure longevity, predict the rise and fall of heavenly fortunes, test true love, and foretell boundless futures. Its efficacy is real and effective. Its starting price is one hundred thousand Divine Martial Coins, with each bid not less than fifty thousand."
