Chapter 927: Chapter 926

After entering through the gate, Zhang Xiaoshan realized this place was indeed a unique grotto heaven.

It seemed to be a large ancient-style garden.

Liang Chengdao served as the tour guide and introduced the place to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"This place is called the Blue and White Courtyard, it’s essentially a scenic area where people can visit and take photos. There’s also a hot spring hotel at the back, usually full of visitors. But today, for this Magic Artifact Auction, we’ve cleared the area, hence it’s much quieter than usual."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

"The scale here is indeed quite large, enough to serve as a film base. Is it privately contracted?"

"Yes."

Liang Chengdao explained.

"The owner of this place is very mysterious, I don’t even know who the boss behind the scenes truly is."

"Oh, didn’t you say your intelligence network was quite powerful? Even you can’t find out?" Zhang Xiaoshan grew increasingly curious.

Liang Chengdao looked embarrassed.

"It seems the owner here is truly something else."

As they spoke, he had already walked into the back garden.

This area isn’t open to the public, even on regular days.

A three-story building stood over an artificial lake.

"That building is the tallest place in the Blue and White Courtyard, and the best spot for viewing. Today’s auction is held on top of that building."

"What’s this?"

Looking at the building, Zhang Xiaoshan appeared surprised.

While outsiders couldn’t see anything, he could see strands of spiritual energy gathering toward the building.

"Is it a gathering spirit array?"

"No, there’s no array trace. What’s going on then, how can it attract spiritual energy?"

"It seems this Blue and White Courtyard has some intriguing aspects."

Zhang Xiaoshan followed Liang Chengdao up the building.

Upstairs, more than thirty people had already gathered.

Each person exuded a powerful presence, clearly not simple figures.

"Chairman Liang, your esteemed presence is quite extravagant, making us wait for almost half an hour here."

As soon as they got upstairs, a chubby man with a gold chain thicker than his finger complained with a displeased look.

"Sorry, everyone, we were late."

"Here, I offer my apologies to you all. If you have the chance to visit my Ten Thousand Treasure House in the future, I will surely treat you well."

On one hand, the identities of these people were all significant; on the other, Liang Chengdao worked in a field where harmony brings wealth.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, Master He, let me introduce them to you."

"This is Liu Dajiang, the leader of West Shanxi’s shipping."

"In the Yellow River Basin, Liu Dajiang has fourteen docks and is a prominent figure in the water transportation industry."

"That elderly man in traditional attire is Qi Yuan, the richest man in Northern Wei."

"The pockmarked man known as Feng Mazi is the owner of a top 50 domestic real estate company."

"Oh, the hook-nosed middle-aged man sitting in front is Qian Tao, he runs the underground banking business. This time, he is Master Hei’s representative, responsible for organizing this auction."

...

"Beside me is the renowned treasure appraisal master, He Wenyuan..."

"Oh, is this Master He Wenyuan, the champion of the national treasure appraisal competition?"

"Old Liang, you really have some skills to invite Master He here," said Qi Yuan, the wealthy elder in traditional attire from Northern Wei.

The crowd also showed signs of unease.

After all, He Wenyuan’s reputation was not small.

The crowd’s attitude made He Wenyuan even more pleased; it seemed he was respected after all.

At this moment, Liang Chengdao was about to introduce Zhang Xiaoshan

"Everyone, beside me is..."

"Forget it, forget it."

Before Liang Chengdao finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Just a young boy, I’m not interested in knowing him, don’t waste time, let’s get started."

"Exactly, we’re all in big business, every minute means hundreds of thousands in income. Wasting time is wasting life. Let’s start quickly."

Evidently, Zhang Xiaoshan seemed to be nothing more than an unknown young junior in their eyes.

Perhaps he was some wealthy heir, but they themselves were the top tycoons in the area, with several provincial-level rich bosses, why would they care about some wealthy heir?

Then Qian Tao stood up.

"Chairman Liang, I understand you want to support the young, but today is not the right occasion. Alright, everyone, let’s prepare and start the auction."

"I..."

Liang Chengdao seemed displeased, apparently wanting to argue, but he was stopped by Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Forget it, more important to handle the main matter."

At this point, what Zhang Xiaoshan looked forward to most was meeting Master Hei.

"Alright."

Liang Chengdao had to give up,

"Since everyone is here, let’s welcome Master Hei."

"Friendship Master Hei."

With Qian Tao’s shout

"Boom boom boom..."

Footsteps came from the upper gallery.

Soon, everyone saw a figure wrapped in a black robe, with a hunched posture, slowly walking down.

He was holding an ancient-looking brocade box.

"Finally found you."

Looking at the black-robed elder, Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes filled with excitement.
