Although there was nearly a week until the start of the Treasure Exchange Convention, Cang City was already packed with people, especially on the site where the convention was going to be held, which was filled with streams of people.
Not everyone had the privilege to attend the Treasure Exchange Convention. Without presenting something valuable, one lacked the qualification to enter. Hence, many who possessed treasures that did not meet the qualifications for the convention would put their items on display before the event began, taking advantage of the convention's bustling atmosphere.
Generally, in such an informal gathering preceding the Treasure Exchange Convention, there weren't valuable items to be found. However, there are always exceptions, much like antique stalls on Earth where you might unexpectedly come across a good find, though the probability was slim, there was still a chance.
