Open up and break into another world

The power of the Covenant Alliance permeates the entire Ancient Remnant World.

Even just within the City of Ancient Stele, the Covenant Alliance's influence here is definitely among the top three!

The auction house, one of the most important places for the Covenant Alliance in the city, is naturally extraordinary and imposing.

Experts from various forces and powerful solitary figures are successively entering the auction house.

Some powerful figures are just casually coming to see if there are any treasures suitable for them, or if there are any bargains to be had. There are also some powerful figures who already know about some of the treasures that will be auctioned and have come prepared, determined to win.

… …

Across from the auction house.

Inside a teahouse.

An old man in a plain gray robe and a young man in green are sitting opposite each other.

The old man leisurely sips his tea.

But the young man is full of confusion: "Master, didn't you bring me to the auction to broaden my horizons and improve my appraising skills? But why did we come here to drink tea instead of going into the auction house when we reached the entrance?"

The young man's master, this old man, is known as "Master Yujian."

The name "Yujian" is not well-known in the endless chaos, and many people have never even heard of it. However, the young man often hears Master Yujian say: In terms of appraising ability at the Hong荒 Realm level, no one in the entire endless chaos can compare to him!

"I don't know… is Master's appraising ability really that strong, or is he just boasting?" The young man often couldn't help but think.

Of course, he only dared to think these thoughts in his heart and would never dare to say them out loud.

"You don't understand!" Master Yujian took a sip of tea, a profound expression on his face, "Lin Xu, remember what Master said—appraising treasures is like appraising people! If you want to improve your appraising ability, you must first hone your ability to judge people!"

The young man Lin Xu seemed thoughtful—it sounded like it made sense!

Master Yujian drank his tea, looking at the powerful figures entering the auction house, commenting on them one by one: "Look at that person, dressed in brocade and sparkling with jewels; even a low-level Hong荒 Realm cultivator would feel the pinch to put together such an outfit! But… after this person enters the auction house, he will definitely only go to the ordinary area, and will definitely not go to the VIP area, let alone the luxury area!"

"Why is that?" Lin Xu couldn't help but ask, curious.

Master Yujian said calmly: "Wearing gorgeous clothes does not necessarily mean that you have many treasures; on the contrary, only those who lack confidence will use gorgeous clothes to hide their nervousness!"

"That makes sense!" Lin Xu nodded.

Sure enough, the powerful figure in brocade walked into the entrance of the ordinary area of the auction house.

At this time, another person walked towards the entrance of the auction house. It was Bai Murong, whom Xu Ming had met in the restaurant a month ago.

Bai Murong was fat, covered in jewelry, and looked vulgar; he was also followed by the two beautiful female cultivators from before.

Seeing this, Lin Xu rushed to say: "Master, this person will definitely also go to the ordinary area!—His gorgeous clothes are just to hide his nervousness! Moreover, he is even more nervous than the person who just went in because… he brought two more beautiful female cultivators than the previous person to hide his nervousness!"

Lin Xu was completely analyzing people according to the logic his master taught him.

"No!" Master Yujian shook his head without hesitation, "He will definitely enter the luxury area!"

Sure enough, Lin Xu saw Bai Murong lead the two beautiful female cultivators into the entrance of the luxury area.

"This…" Lin Xu was a little dumbfounded—both were wearing gaudy jewelry, and their situations looked similar, so why did one enter the ordinary area and the other enter the luxury area?

"The ginger is still spicier when it's old!"

Lin Xu couldn't help but sigh, looking at his master, asking admiringly: "Master, how did you know he would enter the luxury area? Could it be… because of the two beautiful female cultivators he brought with him?"

"No!" Master Yujian took a sip of tea with a profound expression, and then slowly said, "It's because… I know him! He is the only son of Bai, the Alliance Master of the Ancient Stele Business Alliance, Bai Murong! If he doesn't go to the luxury area, where else would he go?"

"Pfft!" Lin Xu felt a little like vomiting blood—if you knew him, why did you say all that other stuff!

"Disciple, I'll give you another chance, see which area this person will go to!" Master Yujian pointed to Xu Ming and said.

"Hmm…" Lin Xu looked at Xu Ming's back and pondered for a moment, then said, "He should go to the VIP area!—Although this person's clothes are not obvious and his aura is ordinary, I always feel that there is something extraordinary about him!"

"Something extraordinary?" Master Yujian shook his head and sneered, "What's so extraordinary?—Entering the VIP area requires paying a lot of admission fees; although it's not as expensive as the luxury area, it's definitely not something this person can afford! This person is just a very ordinary person, without anything extraordinary! My disciple, your eyesight still needs to be improved…"

As Master Yujian was speaking, he saw… Xu Ming actually walking towards the luxury area and paying the expensive admission fee without hesitation.

"This…" Lin Xu looked at his master somewhat awkwardly.

Master Yujian had just said that Xu Ming didn't have anything extraordinary and would definitely go to the ordinary area; as a result, Xu Ming directly entered the most expensive luxury area—wasn't this a slap in the face?

Even Lin Xu couldn't help but have some doubts about his master's ability to judge people.

"Cough cough!" Master Yujian was naturally depressed at his failure to show off; but in front of his disciple, he naturally refused to admit that he had misjudged, and instead said, "There are always some people who are trying to look impressive even though they are broke!"

"Is that so?" Lin Xu was a little suspicious.

"Cough cough!" Master Yujian's old face turned red, he finished the tea in his cup in one gulp, and stood up, "Let's go! Let's also enter the auction house!"

… …

The Covenant Alliance's auction house is divided into three areas: the ordinary area, the VIP area, and the luxury area.

The ordinary area is on the bottom floor of the auction house and is the most crowded; the VIP area is located a little higher, and the seats are much more spacious. The luxury area is on the top floor of the auction house, and all are private rooms.

Xu Ming walked on the corridor of the luxury area, overlooking the layout of the entire auction house, while recalling some information about the Covenant Alliance's auction that he had learned these days; he was pondering how to cause trouble.

Cause trouble?

Suddenly, Xu Ming's eyes lit up, and he thought: "I'm not here to cause trouble, but to participate in the auction! And… I want to bid on all the treasures!"

"Yes! Let's do it that way!" Xu Ming was secretly excited.

Bid on everything, and then… don't pay!

How delightful it is to get something for nothing!
