(Sixth Update!)

"After our Star Picking Pavilion obtained this treasure, we've also studied it carefully. From this treasure, we've also obtained some information. This information is …"
"The Stately Painting has endless mountains and rivers, dividing the world into nine provinces. The mountains and rivers are the palm, the nine provinces are the seal, creating the world! "
At this point, the Golden Chief deliberately paused.
Sure enough, there was a violent commotion in the auction as countless experts were in an uproar.
"The Stately Painting has endless mountains and rivers, dividing the world into nine provinces. The mountains and rivers are the palm, the nine provinces are the seal, creating the world! "
It was a simple message, but how domineering was it?
"Treasure, it's definitely a rare treasure." Many people's eyes became heated.
"Unfortunately, although the Star Picking Pavilion knew about this treasure and determined that this Stately Painting is an extraordinary treasure, no matter what methods we used, we couldn't make it acknowledge us as its owner. Many powerhouses in the Star Picking Pavilion have tried, but none of them succeeded!"
"A treasure that can't recognize its master is just sitting there in the Star Picking Pavilion, so we might as well put it up for auction in front of everyone. The highest bidder will get it. Anyone who's interested in this Stately Painting can try to buy it. After all, no one in the Star Picking Pavilion has been able to make it recognize its master. If you meet the right person, you might be able to make this treasure recognize you as its master," said the Golden Chief.
Many of the experts present nodded in agreement.
Indeed, some truly amazing treasures could choose their own masters.
If one could not make it recognize them as its master, it could only mean that the treasure looked down on them. However, if one met the right person, the treasure would naturally recognize them as its master.
The Stately Painting that many experts in the Star Picking Pavilion failed to recognize as its master showed that the treasure had a very high standard. The higher its level, the more shocking its value would be.
A large number of experts in the auction, including those on the second and third floors, were already tempted.
"Alright, let's begin the auction of the first treasure, The Stately Painting, with a starting price of one hundred million Primordial Stones!" said the Golden Chief grandly.
As soon as the starting price was announced, the auction hall was immediately filled with exclamations.
It was the first time the starting price was one hundred million Primordial Stones in this auction!
The starting price instantly dispelled most people's thoughts about The Stately Painting. Although there were many experts present, very few of them were able to take out a hundred million Primordial Stones at one go.
Moreover, one hundred million Primordial Stones was only the starting price.
Even Jian Wushuang's face sank slightly when he heard the starting price. However, he immediately sat down slowly and seemed to have calmed down.
However, there was a sharp light in his eyes.
"The starting price is one hundred million Primordial Stones. It's impossible for me to get the Primordial Stones through a normal auction. In that case … I'll have to rely on other methods," murmured Jian Wushuang.
Although the starting bid of one hundred million Primordial Stones was ridiculously high in the auction, there were still some independent rooms on the third floor that were able to afford that amount.
Those people had already started bidding.
"One hundred and fifty million Primordial Stones."
A young man wearing a luxurious purple robe and holding a folding fan casually sat in an independent room. Next to him were several figures with tyrannical auras.
The young man's lips curled into a smile as he murmured, "This Mountain River Map is indeed extraordinary. It's worth it for me to fight for it. Even after buying it, no one in the Life and Death Tower will be able to refine this treasure. At most, we'll give this treasure away as a gift. It won't be a loss. If someone in the Life and Death Tower is lucky enough to refine this treasure, we'll earn more than a little."
…
"Two hundred million!"
A figure shrouded in a black robe stood in a stand-alone room. His aura was icy cold, and he looked like a statue. The strange eyes under the black robe stared at the Mountain River Map on the display platform below. There was a trace of greed in the depths of his eyes.
…
"Three hundred million Primordial Stones!"
The chubby bald young man held a fruit in his hand and bid three hundred million Primordial Stones.
A Heaven Ultimate God old man next to the bald young man frowned and said, "Master's Junior Master, we didn't bring many Primordial Stones with us this time. We only have about one and a half billion Primordial Stones in total. This is only the first grand finale treasure. Although The Stately Painting is extraordinary, there's still a certain amount of risk involved. If we spend a lot of money to buy this treasure, we can only watch the next two grand finale treasures being auctioned off."
"I know." The bald young man continued to eat the fruit and smiled wickedly. "It's precisely because I didn't bring many Primordial Stones with me that I'm deliberately raising the price now. I want the Dongfang Clan and the Nanwu Palace Young Palace Master to pay a higher price to compete for The Stately Painting. It'll be more advantageous for us to compete for the next two grand finale treasures."
The bald man was obviously not very interested in the Stately Painting, but he bid again and again.
When the Nanwu Palace Young Palace Master bid four hundred million Primordial Stones, he immediately raised it to five hundred million.
The price was still rising rapidly under the bidding of those big shots.
At that moment, there was an inconspicuous standalone room on the third floor of the auction house.
There were always experts in that standalone room. However, if one were to observe carefully, they would notice that the people in the standalone room had not bid for a single treasure since the beginning of the auction.
Even when The Stately Painting appeared, the people in the standalone room did not seem to be interested at all.
In the room was a plain-looking white-haired old man in a gray robe.
The white-haired old man's eyes were cloudy as he sat there like an old monk in meditation. No one knew if his eyes were open or closed.
There were three people standing in front of the white-haired old man.
One of them was a purple-robed man who was the supervisor of the Star Picking Pavilion branch in the Narcissus Territory while the other two were the Golden Chief of the Star Picking Pavilion branch.
The bald man who had a certain relationship with San Shouwang and was interested in Jian Wushuang was one of the two Golden Chief.
The Star Picking Pavilion's Golden Chief had a very high status in the Star Picking Pavilion. There were only three Golden Chief in the Narcissus Territory's Star Picking Pavilion branch.
Needless to say, the supervisor's words carried enormous weight in the Star Picking Pavilion Branch. Even the Golden Chief had to obey his orders. The supervisor's strength was also ridiculously strong as he had reached the peak of High-level Heaven Ultimate God and was only one step away from the Peak Heaven Ultimate God realm.
