On the auction stage, a prosperous-looking middle-aged man was speaking with a smile, saying some pleasantries to foster a cordial atmosphere.
"I am Han Tian of the Han family! Greetings to all fellow Daoists. This auction is hosted by myself, and I hope everyone can purchase items to their satisfaction..."
