The Lingdu auction house was grand in scale, boasting an area easily the size of a football field. Stepping inside, one was immediately struck by an extraordinary bustling atmosphere, much like being in a noisy vegetable market. Rows of seats filled the surrounding space, packed with a sea of people and buzzing with endless chatter—a din that was as noisy as it was vibrant. With nearly all of its thousands of seats occupied, Chen Yingjian held his ticket and scanned the crowd, carefully searching for his designated spot.

These were not places ordinary people could afford; those private rooms stood like lofty thrones, reserved exclusively for the leaders of major factions. Sumptuously decorated, the boxes offered only a hazy glimpse of their noble aura from the outside, as if secluded from the rest of the world while retaining a panoramic view of the entire auction floor below.
