The Five Immortals Hall will not grant priority bidding rights privately, as it would be unfair to other guests participating in the auction. The only way to obtain it is by becoming one of the Ten Arena Champions of the Five Immortals Arena.
Ye Zhen was the first of the Ten Arena Champions, so before Ye Zhen, most martial artists had heard of priority bidding rights and were aware of their benefits.
However, very few people have experienced the frustration of these priority bidding rights.
Yes, the frustration.
Consider this: an auction is essentially a group competition, and even if it comes down to the last moment, there's at least two people bidding.
The kind of competition where you call a price, and I raise it.
But once the priority bidding rights are used, according to the rules, unless the user actively resigns, no matter how high your bid goes, it's automatically assumed the other party has also bid, and the price is identical to yours.
