The few people following Li Xu all exuded a scorching aura. Their complexions were dark, clearly a result of frequently working in sweltering environments.
When Li Xu stepped out, everyone present grew excited. They all crowded around him, greeting him respectfully.
Judging by how the crowd addressed Li Xu and those behind him, it was apparent that this group were all disciples of Master Lu Li.
"Senior Brother Li Xu, can we begin?"
The people behind Li Xu just smiled in response to the crowd's greetings and then looked toward him.
"Let's begin," Li Xu said nonchalantly. The people behind him immediately stepped forward.
Soon, a counter appeared before each of them, and they seemed to be arranging something.
Only then did Li Xu speak in a measured tone, "Today is the Artifact Refining Workshop's monthly opening. I assume everyone knows the rules, so I won't waste your time. Every item is priced. If you see something you like, feel free to bid. The highest bidder wins."
