Chapter 192 The Auction Begins!

"Tickets, please," the guard requested upon spotting Long Tian and Ling Han.

Long Tian effortlessly handed over the two tickets to the guard.

Upon examination, the guard's demeanor shifted towards politeness as he noticed that both tickets held VIP status.

He stole a glance at Long Tian and Ling Han. From their appearance, both looked graceful and exuded an authoritative aura, clearly not ordinary people.

"Welcome," he conveyed, guiding them forward.

A smile graced Long Tian's face as they proceeded inside.

In the corridor, Long Tian could already glimpse the auction venue not far ahead. It was designed with a circular stage in the middle for showcasing auctioned items and hosting, accompanied by a table holding a gavel. The seating area formed a circle with numerous chairs.

At this moment, a elegantly dressed woman with an official air approached them.

"Excuse me, are you both VIP cardholders?" she inquired.

Long Tian directed his gaze toward her, "Yes, we are," he replied.

"Okay then, please follow me. The VIP seating is on the upper floor," the woman responded.

With a nod, Long Tian and Ling Han strolled down another corridor and ascended the stairs, making their way to the upper floor.

Now on the upper floor, positioned directly above the main venue, the seating area formed a circle with only one row of seats.

Several individuals here glanced at Long Tian and Ling Han, but the two of them simply took their seats.

The chairs were remarkably comfortable, clearly crafted from high-quality materials, and offered a clear view of the host and showcase area. Perhaps that's why there was only one row of seats on the second floor. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

"What are you aiming for, young master?" Ling Han inquired suddenly.

"I don't know, considering the fame of this auction, there should be plenty of valuable items, right?" Long Tian smirked.

Ling Han merely nodded in response.

Once again, applause reverberated among the participants.

While the applause persisted, two robust men in suits walked onto the stage, bearing a wheeled table carrying a relatively large blank canvas.

Perplexity spread among the participants as it was simply a blank canvas without any paintings.

Su Dongzhu, the host, mirrored the confusion. "Um, this is a canvas... We didn't receive clear information about it, but the owner is a formidable cultivator. The opening bid is 1000 Yuan, and the subsequent bid is 1000 Yuan," he explained.

Following his statement, a noticeable silence lingered among the participants.

Long Tian, positioned above, couldn't restrain his curiosity. "Did you observe anything on that canvas, Uncle Ling?" he inquired.

Ling Han stroked his chin. "Hmmmm, I didn't discern anything intriguing; it appears to be a blank canvas," he responded.

Long Tian nodded, then shifted his gaze back to the canvas. However, his eyes soon landed on Lin Fan, a look of interest crossing his face as he observed Lin Fan's surprised expression.

Simultaneously, from Lin Fan's perspective, his eyes widened as he activated his golden eyes ability. The canvas... emitted a golden aura!

"No one bidding?" Su Dongzhu inquired.

Once again, the atmosphere remained silent, with no one initiating the bid.

Su Dongzhu raised the hammer, "Alright, no bid, then..." However, his voice trailed off when a sudden voice broke the silence, "1000 Yuan!"

In response to this voice, Su Dongzhu directed his attention to the regular seating area where a young man raised his hand with the number 35.

"Oh, an open bid from a young man!" he exclaimed, pointing towards Lin Fan.

The expressions of everyone were indifferent, showing no interest. 1000 Yuan was considered a trivial amount.

Meanwhile, on the upper floor, a wide grin adorned Long Tian's face. Here it is; the protagonist finally initiates the bid!

"1000 Yuan. Any other offers?" Su Dongzhu queried.

Still, there was no response from the participants.

Lin Fan grinned inwardly, filled with excitement. Just 1000 Yuan, and he was acquiring an item with a golden aura!

"Alright, the first 1000 Yuan, the second 1000 Yuan, the third 1000 Yuan..." Su Dongzhu's voice was abruptly halted by a resonant voice emanating from the VIP room, "1 million Yuan," a tone cutting through the murmurs like a commanding presence,
