Lin Jingge followed closely behind the man.

There were four rooms lined up in front of them, and the man led Lin Jingge into the last room.

"The item you're auctioning is ore, right?" The man stopped at the door and turned back to confirm again.

"Yes." Lin Jingge nodded.

"Alright, please go in and give the items you want to inspect to the person inside." The man stood to one side of the doorway, slightly bowing and extending one hand towards the door. His every move was impeccably polite.

Lin Jingge glanced at the other party. Several reception girls were standing at the doorways on the side wall, and their welcoming gestures were exactly the same as this man's.

Having seen it so many times, Lin Jingge no longer found it particularly interesting.

She nodded, took a step, entered the room, then stopped at the doorway and looked into the room.

The room was not as spacious as Lin Jingge had imagined; in fact, the space was rather cramped because of the numerous cabinets lining three walls.

She looked around silently and realized that the space was too small to hold what she needed to test.

She looked toward the other person in the room besides herself.

An elderly man, perhaps because no one had come in for a long time, was sitting there feeling tired and was now dozing off, leaning on the table in front of him.

Unlike the other three rooms next door, this room was rather deserted.

Lin Jingge walked towards the old man.

The moment they made a move, the old man who had been dozing off woke up.

After waking up, the old man subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth to check if he had drooled in his sleep.

Realizing what was happening, he quickly withdrew his hand, propped himself up, and sat up straight.

"Just put what you want to be tested on the table." The old man pointed to the long table in front of him and then waved his hand. The book on the table turned to the latest page with the fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Lin Jingge, who had already approached, glanced at the not-so-wide long table and said, "This table can't support the weight. The area I need to test is a bit large."

“How could it not withstand it? This table was reinforced by the weapon refiners of my auction house!” Hearing Lin Jingge’s doubts, the old man said unhappily, then became somewhat impatient: “If you want to test it, then take it out quickly. If you don’t want to test it, then get out!”

Lin Jingge said with a hint of helplessness, "Then this table..."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, little girl! I already said that this table won't collapse, so just relax and take out your things. Even if the table does collapse, it's because my auction house's items are defective, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Since the other party had already gone this far, Lin Jingge felt that saying anything more would be ungrateful.

What's more, it was this old man who insisted that she take it out here!

Lin Jingge stopped speaking and instead touched the storage ring on her hand.

Using the ring as a cover, Lin Jingge directly moved the altar, which she had brought from the cave and the folded space, out of her spatial dimension.

With a loud "boom," the floor shook violently.

This auction house is truly wealthy and powerful; even the floor is paved with hard diamonds.

The altar, being so large, was smashed down, but it only managed to shatter one long table; the floor didn't even crack.

"Holy crap!" The old man reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack.

Lin Jingge also slipped away to the doorway as soon as she took it out.

The room, which was not very large, was filled with the altar.

Actually, this room isn't small at all; on the contrary, it's quite spacious. However, it's filled with shelves and miscellaneous items, which takes up most of the space.

Lin Jingge naturally heard the old man's exclamation, and only then did she realize that she hadn't called out to the old man when she ran away.

However, given the opponent's unfathomable level of cultivation, Lin Jingge believed the old man would be safe.

And it was indeed just as Lin Jingge had thought. After letting out that exclamation, the old man quickly squeezed out from the other side of the altar.

Not only did nothing wrong, but they were also completely unharmed.

The commotion was so loud that it drew a crowd of people who were loitering in the lobby.

Standing at the front were several well-dressed servants. They stood at the door, not rushing in immediately, but waiting for orders in a very orderly manner.

After the old man squeezed out from behind the altar, he walked straight toward Lin Jingge.

"I...I...you told me to take it out directly, and you said the table was very sturdy, so I took it out." Lin Jingge quickly waved her hand and took a step back.

The item Lin Jingge took out was so large that it completely filled the limited space in the room. Everyone who looked towards the entrance could see the enormous, jet-black pillar. The pillar wasn't particularly tall, but it was very wide.

Unfortunately, what Lin Jingge said was true; he had indeed said those words.

But who the hell could have guessed that the "big event" they were talking about would be this big!

"Elder Hong, is there anything you need?" The servant guarding the door asked immediately upon seeing the old man, glancing at Lin Jingge every now and then.

Those looks were practically accusing Lin Jingge of causing trouble.

Before the old man could speak, another old man came out of the next room.

"Oh, what happened here? Anyone who didn't know better would think your materials room collapsed." The old man's entrance was met with a barrage of sarcasm: "I told you to tidy up that dilapidated room all the time, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened!"

The old man who came out from next door spoke as if he were concerned, but if he hadn't looked at me with that smug expression, his words would have been more convincing.

"Bah! When did it become your business to interfere in my affairs!" the old man retorted angrily.

The servants were already used to seeing two elderly men of similar age bickering.

One of them was surnamed Hong, and the other was surnamed Hong. They were homophones and might have been from the same family in their past lives. Coincidentally, they were both elders of the auction house. However, these two ended up becoming rivals. Whenever they met, they would bicker fiercely.

"What are you all standing there for? Go and put those things away!" Elder Hong shouted at Lin Jingge when he had a moment to spare.

"Huh? Oh, I'll put it away right away." Lin Jingge, who was watching the two elders argue, was suddenly given instructions. It took her a while to react before she quickly put the items into her spatial storage.

After Lin Jingge put the things away, the old man snorted coldly and said to Elder Hong, who had started arguing with him over a few words, "I'll be back after I finish the testing. You just wait!"

"Tch." Elder Hong scoffed. He rolled his eyes like a child and turned to go into the next room.

This attitude naturally infuriated Elder Hong.

Therefore, he found Lin Jingge increasingly displeasing.

"What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and follow me!" the old man snapped.
