The bidders below grew more anxious, but the host remained unfazed, delivering a long speech before slowly lifting the black cloth.
In the transparent square box lay a ring.
Upon seeing this, a wave of disappointment swept through the crowd, all showing faces of dismay.
Most of those present were cultivators, in need of items related to cultivation. This ring, at a glance, appeared to be a mere ordinary adornment, hence their disappointment was no surprise.
After their initial disappointment, people sat back, disinterested, hoping the auction would soon end.
"It seems like everyone is quite disappointed," the host, clutching the microphone, not panicking at all, continued to ramble on, "You might be thinking, it's just a ring, what's so special about it, at best, it's just a slightly more valuable piece of jewelry..."
As the host showed no signs of stopping and rambled on as if he could go on forever, the crowd became impatient.
