196: The luxury of the Treasure House flagship store

Gu Changan observed this through his Divine Sense and gasped.

Is this the Treasure Pavilion, having rounded up a group of top-tier Cultivators?

Thinking that every Cultivator entering the auction has a net worth of over 1 million Spirit Stones.

How could he not be excited?

Then he thought about how he, too, had joined the million Spirit Stone club.

He chuckled foolishly.

Since his Transmigration, he had made something of himself.

He was not just a side character, nor was he like the beast of burden from his past life.

In this life, he finally felt a bit like a human!

Gu Changan silently put away his Artifact Refining workshop identity token.

He took out 10 Storage Pouches, each containing 100,000 Spirit Stones.

When it was Gu Changan's turn, the Golden Core Stage Cultivator guarding the gate looked a bit surprised.

However, after a sweep of his Divine Sense, he let him pass.

He just felt this Foundation Establishment Cultivator was a bit strange, dividing 1 million Spirit Stones into 10 parts and placing them in 10 Storage Pouches.

Gu Changan was still somewhat shocked upon entering the Treasure Pavilion main store.

The decoration here was more luxurious than any shop he had seen along the way.

That sense of luxury was indescribable.

For example, on the ground, there was a layer of unknown transparent Materials beneath his feet.

Underneath the transparent Materials, it was packed densely with Spirit Stones.

They were arranged neatly one by one, covering the entire floor of the building.

They actually used Spirit Stones directly as decorations here?

Observing the greeters on both sides, a male attendant alternated with a female Maidservant.

They lined up like this all the way inside.

Everyone's cultivation was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

From this, one could see the extravagance of the Treasure Pavilion—using Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators as servants!

Furthermore, the walls on both sides were made of gilded Materials, carved with Dragons and Phoenixes.

There were various exquisite patterns and shapes of various animals on them.

Gu Changan observed the Treasure Qi and found that the metal on the walls emitted a faint yellow treasure aura.

Was it actually mixed with Golden Core Stage Materials?

How could "luxurious" even begin to describe it?

Gu Changan pretended to be nonchalant and followed behind the crowd.

Slowly walking towards the backyard, most of the Golden Core Stage Cultivators were accustomed to it, so it seemed this was not their first time.

But there were also a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators who kept looking around.

It seemed it was their first time here too, and they felt exceptionally shocked by the place.

Just like that, the Cultivators attending the auction were led into the backyard.

The backyard was also a connected building.

In the middle was a small stage, entirely built from white Spirit Stones.

Around the stage was a railing, and on the railing was a complete circular Dragon body, which appeared to be carved from silver Materials.

Could it be secret silver?

Observing through the Treasure Qi, it actually emitted a faint yellow color.

Gu Changan began to observe the surroundings of the stage.

Unlike auctions in other places, there were rows upon rows of seats here.

All the seats were arranged around the central stage.

Each seat was also made of green jade, and like the floor in the front hall, it was covered with dense Spirit Stones as decoration.

It was covered with dense Spirit Stones as decoration.

Sitting on it felt like sitting on a pile of Spirit Stones.

Then, behind the seats, at a height of over a person, were the private boxes.

Surrounding the central stage, there were three levels of private boxes on each side.

Gu Changan looked around and discovered there were 12 private boxes on each level, making 36 in total for three levels.

These private boxes appeared to have a piece of unknown crystal facing the central stage.

It seemed that one could see outside from within without obstruction, but those outside could not see inside.

Gu Changan observed through the Treasure Qi that most of these private boxes emitted a yellow treasure aura.

These were actually Golden Core Stage Materials, which looked like they could be used to refine Magic Treasure, yet they used them to build houses?

Since they could auction items of the Nascent Soul Stage here, these private boxes were at least prepared for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

Does this mean there are Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators here right now?

Since the Treasure Pavilion has eight great Families, they would certainly reserve some auction boxes for their own Families.

Then other major powers would likely occupy some boxes when attending the auction.

In that case, these boxes were simply not prepared for Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

They were prepared for various major powers and various Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

Gu Changan withdrew his thoughts and lowered his head even further, fearing that others might notice him.

Fortunately, Gu Changan had chosen the last row, and the last two rows were mostly Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The front rows were all occupied by Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Gu Changan came this time to broaden his horizons and was not prepared to bid.

He also did not want to expose himself to the eyes of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

After all, in their eyes, he would be as exposed as if he were naked, with nowhere to hide.

When the sun was high in the sky, the auction began.

A hazy floral fragrance enveloped the entire auction hall.

Then, a graceful figure appeared on the central stage.

She was dressed in a long white dress, and her face was covered by a white veil.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators nearby were breathing rapidly.

But the Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the front rows looked much calmer.

Gu Changan secretly wondered, had she cultivated a top-tier charm technique?

He also hurriedly pretended to be unable to withstand it, breathing heavily.

Pretending to be just as unbearable as the Foundation Establishment Cultivators next to him.

This scene did not last long before a melodious voice sounded.

"The monthly auction has begun again."

"I haven't seen you for a month, You Lan has missed you dearly!"

Saying this, the White-robed Fairy Auctioneer acted like a young maiden.

Some familiar Cultivators started joking: "We have also missed Fairy You Lan very much!"

"It's been so many years, I haven't missed a single auction of Fairy You Lan!"

"When Fairy You Lan looks for a Dao Companion, you must notify me."

This joke directly ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

However, most Cultivators could only think about it; since Fairy You Lan could become an Auctioneer for the Treasure Pavilion, her background went without saying.

And she was beautiful.

After so many years, being able to remain aloof in this Treasure Pavilion where Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are relatively common, this also explains a certain issue!

This world has never lacked smart people.

When Fairy You Lan makes such jokes, everyone just takes it as livening up the atmosphere.

"Then, let us welcome the first auction item!"

"I see that there are quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators present at the auction!"

"Then let us start with the auction items for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

At this moment, a row of Maidservants behind her stepped forward, and the one at the very front walked up to Fairy You Lan carrying a tray.

Fairy You Lan lifted the red cloth and took a glance.

"mid-grade yuan solidifying pills, 10 pills per bottle, there are 10 bottles here!"

"The starting price for each bottle is 300,000 Spirit Stones!"

"Let the bidding begin!"

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, some stood up excitedly.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators who could come here to participate in the auction were not short of Spirit Stones.

But if they were asked to eat those low-grade yuan solidifying pills, they would complain about the pill toxins.

So, with the mid-grade yuan solidifying pills at the auction, everyone wanted to grab a bottle.
