At this moment, Li Chen was obviously unaware of what was happening in the Remnant Cloud Forest because he was attending an auction.
Moreover, it was said to be a rare large-scale auction in Tearful Valley, occurring once in several decades.
Although the auction provided each participant with a perception-blocking mask to ensure the event's confidentiality, the mask's effectiveness was limited for some people.
For example, Li Chen.
For him, the Eye of the Dao could easily see through illusions, rendering the mask ineffective in his presence.
Nonetheless, he cautiously spent a large sum to sit in a booth with Bai Shi.
Not only did the masks have concealing effects, but the booth itself was shielded by restrictions that generally couldn't be penetrated by Divine Sense.
Originally, Li Chen just intended to casually observe, and make a move if something good came up. But even he didn't expect to encounter something that would make him feel a bit excited.
