Shu Tiansheng flashed Han Li a smile, then tapped the counter a few times as he yelled, "Rise and shine, Shopkeeper Gu."0

The elderly man behind the counter opened his eyes and took a lazy glance at Shu Tiansheng and Han Li, then slowly sat up as he yawned and asked in a raspy voice, "What would you like to buy?"0

"The best that your shop has to offer, of course," Shu Tiansheng was sliding his finger over the counter, and Han Li noticed that he was tracing out a strange pattern with his finger.0

An alert look immediately appeared in the elderly man's eyes upon seeing this, and he nodded in response before rising to his feet and making his way deeper into the shop, followed closely by Han Li's duo.0

Before long, the three of them arrived in a dilapidated wooden shack in the backyard of the shop.0

The elderly man tapped one of the walls of the shack a couple of times, and a string of cracks rang out as a layer of azure light appeared over the wall, then transformed into a shimmering azure door, beyond which was a dark pathway that appeared to have been leading underground.0

"The auction venue is down there," the elderly man said as he pulled out a pair of white masks for Han Li's duo.1
