The Fire Stone was not immediately handed over; it was to be delivered only after all the auction items had concluded.
The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion wasn't worried about defaults either, since everyone had deposited a security deposit. Anyone who defaulted would not only incur a loss, but would also be blacklisted by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, barring any future dealings with them.
The auction continued, with several Upper Grade Sunshine Realm treasures going up for bidding, which triggered a frenzied scramble.
—— Everyone was here for the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes of Yuwen Sword, and yet this powerful big shot, who had died many years ago, had left behind a legacy so powerful, only a cultivator as potent as the Sunshine King could enter.
This made the treasures of the Sunshine Realm extremely preciously valued, fetching prices much higher than usual.
