The city's elite were captivated by the thought of the rare and precious treasures that would be available at the auction, and the mysterious wealthy merchants from the Jianyu Islands only served to heighten their curiosity.
As the event drew nearer, conversations among the nobles and aristocrats of Jadesky City were dominated by speculation about the Earth-grade weapon and the other priceless items that would be auctioned. Stories and rumors about the origins and powers of these treasures spread like wildfire, with each tale more fantastic and intriguing than the last.

The grand opening of the Khaleesi Auction House became the most anticipated event of the season, drawing the attention of not only the wealthy and powerful of Jadesky City but also that of nobles, aristocrats, and influential figures from all corners of the Mystic Sky Kingdom. They traveled from near and far to attend the auction, their carriages and entourages filling the streets around the Khaleesi Inn and the Khaleesi Auction House.
This widespread enthusiasm and attention were precisely what Han Cai and his team had hoped for. The grand opening of the Khaleesi Auction House provided them with a unique opportunity to make connections with the most powerful individuals in the kingdom, helping to further their mission of infiltrating and manipulating the highest echelons of power.
Unbeknownst to the city's elite, the grand opening was just the first step in Han Cai and his team's intricate plan to sway the fortunes of the Mystic Sky Kingdom. As the attendees gathered in the luxurious confines of the Khaleesi Auction House, eagerly awaiting their chance to bid on the legendary treasures that would soon be unveiled, Han Cai and his team prepared to enact the next phase of their carefully crafted strategy.
On the day of the auction, the Khaleesi Auction House was a hub of activity and excitement. Nobles and aristocrats from all over Jadesky City arrived, eager to participate in the bidding for the legendary treasures. Among the attendees, Han Cai paid particular attention to the esteemed representatives of the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan. These two families held considerable influence within the Mystic Sky Kingdom and had powerful allies in the form of the Crimson Serpents and the Aurelian Dragons, respectively.
The Huang Clan, the second most powerful family in the Mystic Sky Kingdom, was represented by their esteemed elder, Lord Huang. A seasoned warrior and a cunning strategist, Lord Feng had guided the Huang Clan to new heights of power and prosperity. His presence at the auction was a testament to the significance of the Earth-grade weapon, a treasure that could potentially alter the balance of power within the kingdom.
The Shen Clan, the third most powerful family, was represented by Lady Yue . As an accomplished cultivator and a skilled diplomat, Lady Yue played a crucial role in maintaining the Shen Clan's influence within the kingdom. Her attendance at the auction further demonstrated the allure of the Earth-grade weapon and the other priceless treasures that would be available for bidding.
As the auction commenced, Han Cai and Han Dai used their charm and wit to engage with these influential figures, forging connections that would prove invaluable for his team's mission. With Lord Feng and Lady Yue among the attendees, the auction took on an even greater air of prestige and importance.
The rivalry between the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan was well-known, and their representatives' presence at the event hinted at the intense competition that was likely to unfold during the bidding process.
During the auction, the Khaleesi Auction House presented a series of rare materials, each one rarer and more valuable than the last. The atmosphere in the auction house was charged with excitement and tension as the lots were revealed one by one.
When the bidding began, Huang Clan and Shen Clan competed for every item raising the bids so high that they did not give a chance to others to bid at all.
The first item was Dragon Scale Essence, a vital ingredient in forging powerful weapons and armor, was known for its incredible durability and resistance to elemental forces. Bidding had started at a hundred thousand spirit stones, and the aristocrats in attendance immediately began competing for this rare material. Lord Feng of the Huang Clan, supported by the Crimson Serpents, and Lady Yue of the Shen Clan, backed by the Aurelian Dragons, engaged in a fierce bidding war, neither willing to back down. It was finally sold to Lady Yue of the Shen Clan.
The Second item, Phoenix Tears was not really a tear of a phoenix but a miraculous elixir capable of healing even the gravest of injuries and restoring vitality to the brink of death. The bidding for this life-saving treasure had begun at two hundred thousand spirit stones, with both the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan determined to secure the elixir for their own purposes. The price rapidly soared as the two families relentlessly outbid one another. Finally, Huang Clan was able to acquire this elixir.
Thunderclap Stones were potent energy sources capable of enhancing a cultivator's power and imbuing weapons with the force of lightning. The bidding for these powerful stones had started at four hundred thousand spirit stones, and the rivalry between the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan continued unabated, both sides eager to claim the stones for their own cultivation purposes. Huang clan won this bid too.
The second last item was Skyward Wood, a rare and ancient timber with extraordinary properties, which was used in crafting exceptional artifacts and spiritual tools. The bidding for this precious resource had commenced at three hundred thousand spirit stones, and once again, the Huang Clan and the Shen Clan locked horns in a spirited battle, each seeking to add the legendary Skyward Wood to their arsenal. But this item was secured by another family who outbid both Huang and Shen clans.
