As she approached Liang, her eyes t his with a combination of warmth and respect. She extended her hand, offering him the orb. Liang, with a mix of anticipation and excitent, took the orb from her delicate grasp.
Simultaneously, Liang retrieved his purple card from his pocket, the card that bore the weight of his substantial wealth. He handed it to the woman, his eyes flashing with appreciation.

Liang tilted his head, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "What do you think about the next item?" he asked, his voice filled with anticipation.
"You an the Million Souls Grimoire?" Kai nonchalantly responded. "It's undoubtedly a wondrous artifact, but I personally have no use for it."
Liang's smile widened as he leaned in closer. "Oh? Just imagine the incredible power of an attack backed by a million cultivators! It's difficult to imagine anyone resisting such force."
Kai shrugged, his voice tinged with indifference. "If you really desire it, then bid for it, but with your own crystals," he stated, his eyes shifting towards the stage where the auctioneer would soon introduce the Million Souls Grimoire.
