    “Yin’er, I didn’t expect someone would spend so much money on a sacred-grade profound artifact. How about we give up on this golden needle, and Grandpa will get you something else?” The old man said somewhat reluctantly.


    “I only want this one!” The young girl pouted, looking unhappy.


    “But the golden needle has already been auctioned off.”


    “Grandpa, please think of a way! You’ll definitely have a solution.” The girl shook the old man’s arm while acting cute.


    The old man was helpless and turned to the young man beside him, instructing, “Go and inquire with the Shadow Tower, see if it’s possible to buy the golden needle.”


    After a while, Gu Qingluan’s namete shed.


    She infused her consciousness into it, and a message appeared.


    The Shadow Tower inquired if she was willing to sell the golden needle at a high price.


    Without hesitation, Gu Qingluan rejected the offer.


    Xuanling Stones could be earned again, but there was only one Primordial Gold Needle in the world, and she wouldn’t let anyone else have it no matter what.


    Shortly after, the old man received news.


    Learning that their offer was rejected, the girl felt extremely disheartened, turning her head away in frustration.


    Coincidentally, she turned toward Gu Qingluan’s direction and caught sight of Gu Qingluan, who was wearing a mask.


    However, she only gave a casual nce and didn’t pay it much mind, muttering quietly, “Don’t let me find out who took away the golden needle, or 1’11 definitely give them a beating!”


    Gu Qingluan curved her lips.


    This little girl was quite young but had a dominant personality.


    Since when did the golden needle be hers?


    Two more rounds passed, and the auction wasing to an end, reaching its climax.


    As expected, just as He Lianjun had described, a Dimensional Barrier Key appeared at the auction.


    The entire audience was shocked, and Gu Qingluan could clearly sense the heightened atmosphere around her.


    Including the old man who hade with his granddaughter not far away, everyone’s attention was focused on the tform.


    The auctioneer’s voice couldn’t hide his excitement, “This final item is the Boundary Wall Key! I believe many of you here are familiar with its purpose, but there may be a few esteemed guests who are still unaware. Therefore, allow me to introduce it properly…”


    His description was simr to what He Lianjun had mentioned.


    After he finished, the atmosphere in the hall became even more fervent.


    “Now, esteemed guests, you can start engraving your desired prices on your nametes. There’s no starting bid for the key, and in the end, the decision will be in the hands of the key’s owner. They will choose their preferred currency from among all of you.”


    Gu Qingluan didn’t have a Sacred Spirit Flower on her, and she didn’t have the time to find one now.


    She had a feeling she could handle the toxic mist in the Dimensional Barrier Space, even though she hadn’t been inside. She engraved “the Ind of No Return Sacred Grade Detox Pill” into her namete.


    If it caught someone’s eye, that was great; if not, she wouldn’t be too disappointed.


    Hou Lianjun looked around with curiosity in his eyes. “I really want to see what everyone will offer as their currency. With so many big shots here, thepetition must be extremely fierce. It’s a pity it’s a blind bid, so we won’t be able to witness the excitement firsthand.”


    Gu Qingluan nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, a blind bidcked the visual thrill.


    However, for those who desired the treasure, theck of transparency in bidding didn’t diminish the excitement.


    When making their offers, they had no idea about theirpetitors’ perceived values, which could lead to two scenarios. One possibility was bidding too low and losing out on the treasure, while the other was overbidding significantlypared to otherpetitors, bing the unwitting victim of their own desire.


    The Sacred Grade Detox Pill from the Ind of No Return had an exceptional effect. Gu Qingluan had never auctioned it before, only offering up to the Ninth-Grade Detox Pill, which alreadymanded a price of a hundred Xuanling Crystal Hearts.


    The price of a Sacred Grade Detox Pill would be considerably higher.


    Perhaps others might hesitate due to its high cost, but for Gu Qingluan, it was a matter of spending a few hours to refine.


    She offered a generous reward, but she wondered if it would align with the preferences of the Key’s owner.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a loud noise reverberated from the tform.


    Centered on the tform, a dazzling white light radiated in all directions..
