"Please come in, senior!" The thin guard greeted him, and then he and the giant eagle flew towards the light gate, and disappeared in a flash of light.

Ye Ming frowned slightly, and swept his mind around, immediately sensing a strange wave of restriction.

At this time, Jin Yue's voice came to my ears: "Fellow Daoist Ye, let's go in. This light gate is a teleportation gate. The buildings we saw just now may not be behind this gate."

After the woman finished speaking, a green light flashed on her body and she flew into the light gate and disappeared.

Ye Ming followed in without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the huge light gate, Ye Ming only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and he suddenly appeared on a stone platform more than ten meters high. Under his feet was a teleportation array with a diameter of several meters.

Jin Yue was still waiting for him at the edge of the stone platform magic circle.

Ye Ming glanced around and his expression changed slightly.

As far as the eye could see, there were towering trees everywhere, rows of them surrounding the stone platform, with only a winding gravel road leading to a very far distance.

Looking up at the sky, I saw gray-white stone walls thousands of feet above the ground, with cone-shaped stalactites covering the surface, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.

They were actually in an underground world at this moment.

Every mile or so on the stone wall in the air, there is a light source the size of a head. From a distance, it looks as densely packed as stars, emitting soft white light, making this underground world as bright as day.

With a quick sweep of his divine sense through the dense forest, he immediately discovered seven or eight other stone platforms that were identical to the one under his feet, and it seemed that there were people nearby.

It seems that there is more than one entrance to the teleportation array into this underground world, namely the light gate.

When he extended his spiritual sense to further away, wanting to observe something, he touched something several miles away, and his spiritual sense trembled slightly and bounced back.

Ye Ming was slightly stunned.

"You must be very curious when you come here for the first time, right? I had the same feeling when I first attended the auction of the Chamber of Commerce. Come to think of it, every time the Haolian Chamber of Commerce organizes an auction, the arrangements are basically the same. The same scene is usually used more than three times before it is changed." Jin Yue smiled. She naturally knew what Ye Ming was doing at the moment, and explained it softly.

Ye Ming nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Jin, everything from now on will be based on you. Just treat me as your follower."

Jin Yue's gaze turned to Ye Ming, and without saying anything, she walked down the stone platform and walked forward along the gravel path.

Ye Ming naturally followed closely behind, looking around all the time.

After walking about three or four miles forward, the path ahead turned a corner and revealed an intersection with many roads leading in all directions.

Next to the intersection, there is a large shed made entirely of green branches, in which dozens of foreigners in different costumes are vaguely sitting.

These foreigners were clearly divided into groups of ten or so. Some were talking in low voices, while others were sitting at the table with their eyes closed, as if they were all waiting for something.

Among these people, there were three boys with pigtails on their heads, white teeth and red lips, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old. They were dressed in a uniform of short jackets and walked around in front of the tables, serving cups of spiritual tea or plates of spiritual fruits from time to time.

"This should be the reception area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce. All outsiders who attend the auction must stay here for a while and wait for someone from the Chamber of Commerce to personally pick them up. Otherwise, even if you have a token, you will not be able to attend the auction." Jin Yue explained softly.

"So that's how it is. The Helian Business Alliance is really careful enough." Ye Ming said with a smile.

At this time, when the foreigners in the tea stall saw newcomers coming, many of them turned their eyes and looked towards Ye Ming.

As a result, after discovering Jin Yue's high level of cultivation, more than half of the people's faces changed slightly and they immediately looked away, turned their gazes to Ye Ming, and kept looking him up.

Seeing this situation, Ye Ming narrowed his eyes, and swept his mind around, and saw clearly that about one-third of the aliens in the greenhouse were in the combined form, and the others were only at the level of Refinement Void.

Isn't it said that only those with a cultivation level above the Fusion Stage can participate in the auction? Could it be that these people were introduced by acquaintances?
Ye Ming followed Jin Yue with doubts.

When one of the three boys saw Ye Ming and the others coming over, he hurried out of the shed, bowed to Jin Yue, and said respectfully:

"Welcome two seniors to our business alliance. You are here to participate in the auction, right? Please wait here for a moment. Our steward will be here later and will lead you into the alliance." Jin Yue nodded and walked to an empty seat.

Ye Ming followed Jin Yue and sat next to her.

The boy just now quickly and skillfully served the two of them spiritual tea and fruits, said hello, and then returned to his original work.

Jin Yue was tasting the spiritual fruit by herself and didn't seem to want to talk. Ye Ming also suppressed his curiosity and kept looking at the people around him.

In the following time, more than a dozen people came one after another. Most of them were a combination of a combined cultivator and one or two or three virtual refinement cultivators.

About half an hour later, there were sudden spatial fluctuations in the air outside the greenhouse. Countless white runes rushed out, and after spinning around, they turned into a misty white light array.

"The Merchant Alliance envoy is here!"

Someone uttered something in a low voice, and immediately everyone under the shed started to stir, and everyone looked towards the array of light.

The light array fluctuated, and the figures inside swayed, revealing several figures. The leader was an old man in Confucian robes, with a cultivation base in the middle stage of the Fusion Stage. Behind him stood two beautiful women, both dressed as maids, but also with a cultivation base in the Nascent Soul Stage.

As soon as the old man in Confucian robes appeared, he glanced down, turned around quickly, clasped his fists and said with a smile:
"Hahaha, welcome to my Haolian Merchant Alliance. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I hope you don't mind. I'm Hu Yin. If you have any difficulties, please let me know."

"I hope you are doing well, Fellow Daoist Hu! You have provided me with good food and drink, so why should I mind? It's been a hundred years since we last met, and it seems that your cultivation has improved!" As soon as the old man in Confucian robes finished speaking, a young man in green robes stood up in the shed and greeted the old man enthusiastically.

"Haha, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Qin. It's a pleasure to meet you again. However, it is my duty to bring all of you into the alliance first. After everything is properly arranged, we can reminisce about the past. How about that?" The old man in Confucian robes seemed to be very familiar with the young man named Qin.

"Please do as you wish, fellow Taoist!" The man surnamed Qin smiled.

Afterwards, the old man in Confucian robes said to the others in Dapeng: "My fellow Taoists, the welcoming array has been activated. Please move to the guest house and rest for a few days. The auction will start in a month."

"A month? It actually takes such a long time." An impatient person couldn't help but mutter.

"Friend Hu, do you know what treasures will appear in this auction?"

"Thank you for the hospitality. I'll be there soon."

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and everyone was talking about all sorts of things.

The old man in Confucian robes smiled bitterly, pressed his hands downwards, and said helplessly: "My fellow Taoists, the time of the auction is set by the higher-ups, and I can't change it. As for what treasures there are, I have no idea. Anyway, several seniors have come to this auction, and like everyone else, they have to wait a month before they can attend."

"Senior? You are in the Mahayana stage!" Everyone was shocked. If Fellow Daoist Hu, who is in the fusion stage, is called senior, he must be in the Mahayana stage without a doubt.

So, no one dared to ask again.

Seeing this, the old man in Confucian robe nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had to bring up a senior in the Mahayana stage to scare these people!

Then he continued, "I believe that many of you here are attending the auction for the first time. Our alliance has also prepared identity tokens for these Taoists. Please come and claim them. This is the certificate for participating in the auction. Please keep it safe!"

After saying this, the old man took out a token that emitted a hazy white light and made it float in the air.

When everyone saw this, a young man from another race in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm walked up to the old man.

Then the old man collected some information from the young man, such as his name, identity, and cultivation level.

After entering this information, the old man handed the token to the young man.

Next, everyone who came for the first time came forward one by one to enter their identity information and receive their identity tokens.

Ye Ming was naturally no exception.
