At 8:30 p.m., the banquet officially began.
Several elders with white hair walked to the center of the restaurant. Without the need for a microphone, their voices sounded as clear as if they were speaking right next to one's ear.
"Fellow daoists, my name is Zhang Sanqian, and I am one of the organizers of this Ghost Market. To my left is the Third Elder of the Lin Family of Ling City, Lin Changfu. To my right is Yue Zhong, the Family Head of the Yue Family from Sangzhou City." After a brief introduction by Zhang Sanqian, he continued, "Just like the previous Ghost Markets, our first event will be the auction."
Zhang Sanqian took a few minutes to explain the rules of the auction.
The rules were simple: the highest bidder wins.
All auction items were provided by those attending the Ghost Market. The items varied in quality and value, and with good luck, one might stumble upon a treasure.
