After leaving the Deacon Hall, Shen Mo did not return to his cave mansion immediately. Instead, he went down the mountain and made a trip to the Market in Jiyun Town.
According to the auction rules, not everyone could enter. To participate in the auction, one needed an invitation as proof of entry. The Market would prepare some of these invitations and distribute them to high-class cultivators and regular customers who frequently visited. The remaining invitations would then be sold in the Market. Any cultivator interested in participating could purchase an invitation there.
"Ten Spirit Stones."
Shen Mo arrived at the Jiyun Town Market and obtained an invitation from a Keeper. The price of the invitation wasn't high; the Market didn't rely on this to make money. The real profit came from the commissions on auction sales. Setting this threshold was mainly to filter out cultivators with genuine financial strength to participate.
