The hall was now devoid of people, leaving only those who were curious about the upcoming auction items but were not planning to bid, for they knew that these last items were prepared for the Sects on the second floor.
Even though there were no longer any people below on the first floor, the auctioneer still hosted the event with high enthusiasm. The ninth auction item was an unremarkable wooden fish.
Its brown appearance always reminded people of the wooden fish struck by monks in temples.
The auctioneer glanced at the few people remaining below and smiled, then swept his gaze over the second floor from left to right, explaining as he did: "This is not just any wooden fish. It has been blessed by Master Guangde himself, containing many years of his research and efforts."
Everyone was familiar with wooden fish, but Master Guangde's name was unheard of by those present, including the individuals on the second floor, so no one was particularly interested.
