Chapter 176: Obtaining the Treasure
The next day, the auction opened as scheduled.
The Gathering Treasure Workshop auction house was located in the center of Lin'an Prefecture City, a magnificently imposing circular building.
When Chen Qing and Shen Xiuyong arrived accompanied by Qiao Hongyun, the entrance was already bustling with carriages and horses, with people flowing like weaving threads.
Various figures wore fine silk and luxurious garments, clearly all people of no ordinary status.
Among them were quite a few disciples from prominent families in distinctive attire, entering the auction house in orderly succession, greeting each other with pleasantries.
A maid dressed in the Gathering Treasure Workshop's special uniform with an attractive appearance had long been waiting at the passage specially reserved for the Sea Sand Sect. Seeing Qiao Hongyun, she immediately made a graceful bow with a gentle smile, "Elder Qiao, please follow this servant. Your sect's private box has been prepared."
Seeing this, Chen Qing thought to himself: Having connections is truly good. Even entering the auction house gets VIP passage.
Under the maid's guidance, the three passed through a spacious corridor laid with soft carpet, ascending all the way up to an elegant private box on the second floor.
The front of the box had a one-way glass window that provided a clear view overlooking the entire auction hall below, while making it difficult for those outside to peer into the box's interior. The privacy was excellent.
