With the nearing of the auction, the remaining three days before the start of the auction have been passed actively with many new people visiting the city daily.
This series of auctions has made the city relatively famous in the nearby thousand-mile area.
This once mediocre city has now been put on the map and is considered a competitor in the business world.
There are about 20 early-stage foundation realm experts coming to the city for the auction.
After hearing the news and feeling the heavy pressure from the sudden visit of many foundation realm experts, Morgan went to Ray's villa to discuss the situation and asked for his help in maintaining order.
Upon hearing Morgan's request, Ray agreed after Morgan promised to make the tax of the outer district, which Ray manages, zero for the next five years.
Ray then instructed Goldie to exert pressure on the foundation building on the surroundings after he released her in the outer city harbor area.
Morgan also released the news about Goldie and declared it the guardian beast of the city which will patrol the city surroundings to maintain security during the city auction.
Goldie who was bored in the small pond immediately started jumping up and down in the river after being released by Ray.
Ray then bought one small space bag filled it with low-grade spirit stones and spirit fruits and handed it to Goldie who can take them and eat them when she is hungry and use the spirit stones for practice.
The city was initially shocked to see a monster appear on its shores, but they later calmed down when the city lord confirmed that it was a spirit beast patrolling to maintain the security of the residents.
Many residents who had never seen the tamed monster patrolling the city harbor to protect were grateful and visited the bay area to see Goldie at least once.
The Goldie still plays pranks on the residents who come to see her by splitting the water and drenching them completely.
The little children who were with the parents were happy about the water splashings and many daring children even started offering food such as fruits for Goldie to eat whenever they saw her swimming in the river near them.
So, the outer city gained a new Foundation Realm spirit beast as a guardian, and Goldie got to roam freely without hiding in plain sight from the humans.
The day before the auction began, the city lord's mansion received a visit from the Jade Pavilion's Foundation Realm expert. He offered to help maintain order during the auction in exchange for an introduction to Ray and he wishes to extend an invitation for Ray to attend the event.
Morgan thought for a moment and realized he couldn't keep Ray's stay in the city a secret. With the sale of the tea leaves at the previous auction and now the sudden appearance of Goldie helping them, doubts would surely arise, and Ray would become famous in no time.
So, Morgan asked the Jade Pavilion to keep quiet about the visit, as Ray didn't like his peace being disturbed by many visitors. Morgan then asked him to follow as he guided him to Ray's villa.
Soon, they reached the villa where Ray was staying. Morgan, who now had the gate pass to visit anytime, took out the key, opened the main gate, and entered the villa with the jade pavilion foundation expert. They saw Lily sitting alone in the hall area with a dull, bored look on her face, as she didn't have anyone to play with now that Goldie was patrolling outside the city.
Lily then sees Morgan entering the hall area, now recognizing him immediately as he regularly comes to the villa to discuss business ideas and cultivation topics with Ray. He leaves the villa happily, taking the tea leaves as a sovereign.
She was puzzled by the unfamiliar person behind him who was sneakily observing his surroundings with a thoughtful look on his face.
Lily vacated her seat and asked them to sit on the sofa. She went into the kitchen to inform Ray, who was preparing their lunch and returned with some fresh juice that Ray had handed to her, placing it on the table in front of them.
Morgan took the juice without hesitation and started drinking it in big gulps to moisten his throat, while the jade pavilion expert sipped slowly, savoring the refreshing taste.
Ray brought various dishes and placed them on the dining table before approaching Morgan's side to introduce himself to the new guest.
"Hello sir, I'm Jade Pavilion's ninth elder, you might have heard of me and saw me during the last auction which was held last week."
"I have come here to invite you to attend the auction which will be held tomorrow" The ninth elder presented the invitation while introducing himself.
Ray happily took the invitation card, checked it to confirm his allocated room, and placed it in the storage bag present in his robe.
Ray then thanked him for inviting him and promised that he would attend the auction for sure.
Ray then invited them both to have lunch with them which they both declined as they had other work to attend to after this and they had to leave.
Ray then thought for a moment and gave the jade pavilion elder 100 sachets of the tea leaves that he sold in the last auction as the consign order for this auction, which made the jade pavilion elder extremely happy and thanked him for trusting with such precious order.
Although the quantity is only 10 percent of what he had seen at the previous auction the elder still has joy on his face as he knows no one can produce the precious treasure in large quantities.
According to the news the Jade Pavilion received, the tea leaves can heal wounds, consolidate the qi realm and help immediately impact the foundation realm.
With a foundation pill, they can reach the foundation realm with a 100 percent guarantee, without any injuries during the breakthrough that might affect the body's potential to reach higher levels.
He is confident this will soon become a huge sensation in the cultivation world, and the price will increase in the future due to its scarcity.
