Meanwhile, on the stage, Lan Yuerong's smile remained dazzling as she gestured for the attendants to bring forth the next item.
"Congratulations to the Bai Clan for obtaining this unique treasure. May you find its true worth!"
Her voice rang clearly, smooth and magnetic.
"Distinguished guests, as you have seen, surprises await in every corner of this auction. Some treasures may seem plain, yet even the simplest stone may conceal hidden brilliance. And rest assured—what comes next will not disappoint!"
An attendant stepped forward, carrying a small lacquered box. With a careful flourish, it was opened, revealing a plain-looking silver ring.
"This is a storage ring," Lan Yuerong explained, "with a capacity ten times greater than the common kind. A useful tool for travelers, merchants, or warriors burdened with many artifacts. Its starting price is thirty thousand gold."
Murmurs of approval rose—storage space was always useful, but nothing revolutionary.
