Miss Witch is broke again.

The hall was very quiet, and then, to the anticipation of the witches, a witch dressed in a magnificent feathered robe slowly walked in, with lark patterns embroidered on her layered robe.

The patterns are so lifelike that, as the owner moves, it seems to be surrounded by countless larks as he ascends to the high platform.

The witch bowed to the guests from the high platform. Her voice was clear and melodious, and her eyes were bright and captivating. As she spoke, she swayed with the rhythm of her movements, like a nimble bird singing and dancing.

For a moment, some of the witches on the cloud platform couldn't help but be tempted.

The witch addressed the people in the hall:

"Distinguished guests, my name is Luan Qing. I am honored to be the matchmaker for this guild event. I'm sure you've all been waiting impatiently. On behalf of our master, I apologize in advance..."

The witches didn't take it to heart. Or perhaps, given their chaotic view of time, they were always lenient about unimportant matters. Besides, Luan Qing was a beauty, so they were even less likely to say anything.

Su Li, seeing Luan Qing claiming to be the matchmaker from the side room, couldn't help but feel curious and asked the purple-haired witch:

"What does this matchmaker mean?"

All I heard her reply was:

"The term 'matchmaker' refers to someone who acts as a go-between. My temple master established this Bounty Hall hundreds of years ago, using personal connections and trust to act as an intermediary between buyers and sellers. As a result, in this modern era, the stewards at each auction call themselves matchmakers."

Su Li nodded, finally understanding the meaning behind it, and muttered to herself:

"This matchmaker seems pretty capable. If I were standing on that platform, my legs would definitely give way and I wouldn't be able to stand up straight. Waaah, what if it happens during the league?"

Su Li was somewhat troubled, and her dizzy mind couldn't come up with any good solutions.

The purple-haired witch, with a hint of pride, seemed to greatly admire the witch on the platform. Hearing Su Li's self-talk, she couldn't help but speak up:

"Lady Luanqing truly rose from a naive lark to a witch through her own abilities, and many auctions have been successfully concluded under her guidance..."

She realized after she finished speaking that Su Li thought she was being belittled, and fearing that Su Li might get angry, she quickly tried to smooth things over:

"If Your Excellency is interested, you can seek advice from Lady Luanqing. She has always been kind to people, and we sisters in the palace, who share the same background, have all been taken care of by Your Excellency."

Su Li thought about it and couldn't help but feel tempted.

At this moment, the auction officially began.

Luan Qing's voice was clear and bright, and her expression was calm as she said:

"The items presented today are all of impeccable origin, some are treasures you all cherish, some are rare gems brought by merchants from the Sky Islands, and some are wondrous items obtained by my Lord during his travels in other worlds. These treasures are entirely at the discretion of you sisters..."

Luan Qing smiled and swept her gaze across the room, then said:

"If that's the case, then let's follow the usual rules: the highest bidder wins, and there's no going back once the bid is placed."

With a wave of her hand, a flock of larks flew from the sky to the high platform.

The witches could see clearly that the larks were carrying the thuja, and that something on the thuja was covered with a piece of silk.

Luan Qing stepped forward, tore off the silk cloth, and said:

"The first treasure of today is a feather robe. Wearing it can protect you from water and fire and also allow you to fly. Although it is not as good as the clothes made by modern people, it is an ancient artifact made by an immortal in the past. It is called the Moon Crane Immortal Robe, and its collection value is extraordinary."

Although they were far apart, Su Li could see it clearly.

The garment on the tarpaulin is a crane robe, made from the feathers of a white crane and adorned with the back feathers of a peacock. It combines the lightness of crane feathers with the vibrancy of peacock feathers, and was crafted by a sage of the past. It can be described as:

Its color surpasses all others, yet the world only hears the cry of the crane.

When the Crane Fairy Robe appeared this month, most of the witches in the audience lit up with interest in it.

Although this fairy dress is unusual in terms of today's aesthetics, even the best fashion designers today may not be able to surpass the Moon Crane Fairy Dress in comparison.

However, modern witch costumes have many uses, and their protective functions are far superior to simple water and fire protection. Even if a witch goes to explore other worlds, she can help her master survive in dangerous foreign lands.

As for flying, which witch these days can't fly? That function is completely unnecessary.

For witch battle suits designed specifically for competitions, in addition to maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance, they must also assist the witch in combat. Some battle suits can even optimize and accelerate the witch's spell casting, or even enhance the power of spells.

In comparison, this fairy robe is only good-looking and has no other merits.

The Moon Crane Fairy Robe greatly intrigued the witches, mainly because it was crafted by an immortal. In ancient times, this title of immortal corresponded to the top witches of today. If this immortal had kept pace with the development of modern witches, they might even be able to rival the great witches in terms of strength.

This fairy robe is fine as a collectible, but it's unnecessary for a modern witch to wear such an old-fashioned item.

Unfortunately, this celestial robe is probably the personal garment of some immortal. If it were a magical artifact used by an immortal to fight enemies, its price would be sky-high.

This research is of great value and could even lead to many related academic theories. After all, in ancient times, immortals always lived alone and their magic was unique.

Luan Qing displayed the fairy robe, and after the witches below confirmed its authenticity, she said:

"This garment has a starting price of one thousand gold pieces, and each bid must be at least ten gold pieces higher. Gentlemen, please place your bids..."

As soon as the words were spoken, several witches who were very interested in the Moon Crane Fairy Robe made their bids, and the scene became lively:

"1100 gold coins, sisters, don't try to take it from me!"

"1150, I'm taking the A2 exam, so I came here to soak up some of the auspicious energy. Sorry about that."

"Hey, sister, you're taking the A2 exam? I'll have to support you, 1500 gold coins!"

"No, sister, what are you doing here causing trouble!"

"Hehe, I want to soak up some of that magical energy too! 1700 gold!"

"You're all causing trouble, aren't you? This time we're definitely going to pass A2, and I'm taking this fairy robe! Two thousand gold pieces!"

Luan Qing originally thought that the fairy dress would only fetch a little over a thousand yuan at most, but because of the witch's naturally nostalgic nature, the price instantly skyrocketed.

Su Li was speechless as she looked up. It was just a piece of clothing, yet the price had risen to two thousand gold coins. She calculated her own savings and immediately pouted, realizing that she was still a poor witch.

Soon, the Moon Crane Immortal Robe was sold for 2,700 gold.

The witch, determined to pass the A2 exam, eagerly hugged her fairy robes and began to inhale the fairy's energy, as if this would grant the fairy's blessing to help her pass the exam smoothly.

The petite witch, leaning against the outermost pillar, exclaimed that the witch's actions were perverted:

Doing this to the clothes of a former immortal, and still hoping the immortal will bless her to pass the A2 exam? Aren't you afraid that the immortal will find out and strike her to death?

Soon, Luan Qing introduced a series of treasures of different styles. Some of them were so rare that they attracted many witches to chase after them and were sold at exorbitant prices.

Some treasures, though valuable, were priced beyond their original owner's worth, resulting in few witches bidding against them and the auctions ending hastily.

After about a dozen items were sold, Luan Qing saw that the atmosphere was very lively, so she said:

"This next treasure is one of the highlights of the event. If my lord didn't need it, he would have kept it for himself long ago. Now that the Floating Cloud Ruins Sky Island League is about to begin, my lord wants to celebrate, so he's bringing this treasure out as a lucky draw."

Luan Qing's words aroused the curiosity and anticipation of the witches.

Some outside witches were unaware of the Bounty Hall Master's identity and didn't take it seriously, but the local witches of Floating Cloud Ruins were eager for it, especially the sisters who frequently came to the Three Porcelain Demon Market, who were determined to get their hands on the treasure.

The Lord of the Bounty Hall has lived for hundreds of years. Although he was limited by the lack of talent among witches at that time, even with the rapid development of modern witches, his magical power is still far inferior to that of today's top witches.

But she was, after all, a top-tier witch. Given the remoteness of Floating Cloud Ruins, even great witches were rare. Perhaps one might search the entire Floating Cloud Ruins and still not find a single top-tier witch.

According to Luan Qing, even the palace master was tempted by this treasure, but he didn't need it himself, so he put it up for auction.

Su Li found it fascinating; the previous treasures had already broadened her horizons, so like the witches present, she was very much looking forward to the treasure.

Luan Qing paused on the high platform, and seeing that she had piqued the interest of the witches, she clapped her hands, for this time was far from ordinary:

Several tall, strong men carried an object, panting heavily. It turned out to be an irregularly shaped, seemingly cloudy stone crystal. Even though each of the strongmen was incredibly strong, they were already exhausted after carrying the stone crystal to the high platform.

Some witches didn't recognize the seemingly ordinary crystal and looked completely bewildered, wondering how this broken stone could be considered a treasure.

The discerning witch was overjoyed. If it weren't for the auction, she would have flown up and held onto the crystal tightly.

The petite witch, who had been leaning against the pillar and feeling rather bored, became energetic upon seeing the crystal. She rubbed her hands together, eager to take down the crystal and break the restrictions on the giant cat lamp.

Su Li could only stare blankly at the stone crystal, after all, with her pitiful common sense, she had no idea what kind of treasure this stone crystal was.

Then a voice rang in her mind, and the fox spirit said:

"Tsk tsk, that Palace Master is quite generous, even putting this Void Stone up for auction. Even I'm a little envious of it!"

Su Li was startled, because the fox spirit hadn't appeared for a long time, and she had almost forgotten its existence.

But just as Su Li was about to ask the fox spirit what this Clear Stone was, she heard the fox spirit say with exasperation:

"You little fox, how can you be so stupid? Didn't that dragon girl say she'd foot the bill? She could have just bought out the entire auction and left not a single treasure for anyone else..."

At this point, the fox spirit felt even more heartbroken, as if all those treasures had belonged to her. Thinking of this, she said:

"You little fox, you're infuriating! How could I possibly have such a stupid descendant like you!"
