The Pill Appreciation Building and the typical auction venues that Ye Zhen often saw on the mainland were quite different; the entire structure was circular.
Perhaps, as its name suggests, it was genuinely designed for appreciating pills. Therefore, the auction stage was actually located at the lowest level on the first floor.
The second, third, and fourth floors were all for bidders. In this setup, bidders could observe the treasures presented on the first floor from all angles without obstruction, making the design rather ingenious.
However, in terms of privacy, it was somewhat inferior to those auction houses on the mainland that were meticulously managed by the merchants.
Those merchants who specialized in running auction houses offered excellent privacy protection for their clients. Truly distinguished guests were provided with extremely luxurious private rooms, along with separate departure routes.
