Zhang Yang clapped his hands, and another man, veiled, walked to a table. In front of everyone, he took out more than a dozen brocade boxes, arranged in a row, all placed in front of the table.

Zhang Yang also approached the table. The veiled man withdrew, and Zhang Yang smiling said, “I know that you all, my friends, are a bit impatient. I won’t waste any more words. Let’s start with the first part of our transaction— the auction.”

Zhang Yang continued, “What we’re selling comes from all over. Some origins may not be so clear. I hope you’ll understand that. But unclear origins do not mean bad quality. This time, we’ve selected ten items for you, each a masterpiece among masterpieces. All the Foundation Establishment-stage cultivators present here can distinguish quality and would agree that any of these ten items, if won in the auction, could greatly enhance your combat capabilities.”

Qi Tian remained silent, and it was a Foundation Establishment-stage cultivator next to him who shouted, “What’s with the talk? If there really are treasures, bring them out quickly. Are you afraid we won’t have money to buy?”

Zhang Yang just chuckled before opening the first brocade box, revealing a big, red invitation. It didn’t seem to emanate any Spirit Qi. Zhang Yang held up the invitation, saying, “You might all be wondering why I would take out an invitation? Well, this is an anonymous invitation issued by Wanjie Commerce. Holders of this invitation can attend the Bloodline Conference that Wanjie Commerce is going to host in a few days. I believe I don’t need to further introduce what this conference stands for.”

“Why bother talking so much? We know the Bloodline Conference is a feast for cultivators. Inside, there will be all kinds of treasures related to bloodlines. Getting just one could grant us enormous progress, turning an ordinary person into a phoenix. However, as far as I know, the invitations from Wanjie Commerce are limited. How come you have one here? It isn’t fake, is it?” asked the same Foundation Establishment-stage cultivator standing beside Qi Tian.

Qi Tian raised an eyebrow and moved away from the man; he did not want to be associated with an accomplice in a trick.

Whether Zhang Yang noticed Qi Tian’s movements or not, he showed no reaction. Instead, he responded, “The items we have here come from extensive sources. Just because others can’t get an invitation does not mean we can’t.”

“Are we just going to take your word for it? Dare to let me check if it’s real?” the same man, presumably the accomplice, spoke again.

“Why not?” Zhang Yang replied, “For the ten items we offer this time, anyone can check if they are genuine.”

The suspected accomplice stepped forward and took the invitation. Then, with excitement in his voice, he announced, “How is this possible? It’s a real invitation. Look here, this is a unique stamp of Wanjie Commerce. It is made with special ink. It is said that a stamp made with such ink can change several colors under light. Look, red, orange, yellow…”

Everyone strained to look and saw that the stamp on the invitation did indeed change color under the light. Some of them knew about this technological secret of Wanjie Commerce. Now they saw this chameleon stamp and were almost 100 percent sure that the invitation was genuine.

These Foundation Establishment-stage cultivators’ eyes reddened in anticipation. Going to the Bloodline Conference of Wanjie Commerce was a luxurious dream for many of them. Wanjie City had hundreds of thousands of Foundation Establishment-stage cultivators, yet there were only a few hundred invitations for the Bloodline Conference. The difficulty of competing for these few hundred invitations was unimaginable.

Now there was a chance to buy an invitation just by spending money. Who wouldn’t be tempted? And if one bought it and didn’t use it, reselling it could easily make a lot of money. In fact, one might even make back much more than what was spent on the invitation.

Thinking of these possibilities, nobody could sit still anymore. Most Foundation Establishment cultivators were eager to buy the invitation.

Zhang Yang watched all this and loudly declared, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. The old rule stands— the highest bidder wins. Now, please start your bidding.”

Immediately, someone started bidding with several hundred spirit stones.

Qi Tian joined in the fun, shouting out a few bids, then promptly stopped. But other Foundation Establishment cultivators were still very enthusiastic, bidding higher and higher prices. Even after the price surpassed a thousand spirit stones, there was no sign of slowing down. After another ten minutes or so, the first round of bidding finally came to an end.

Zhang Yang pointed to the cultivator who had placed the highest bid and congratulated, “Congratulations, Sir. You’ve won this incredibly valuable invitation. Please come forward and collect your invitation.”

Excited, the Foundation Establishment-stage cultivator walked to the front, taking out over a thousand spirit stones and handing them to Zhang Yang. In return, Zhang Yang gave him the invitation. The cultivator, holding the invitation, kissed it excitedly, unable to contain his joy.
