Lu Yunxiao and Queen Medusa attended a major auction, where they discovered a seventh-rank magical beast that leered at the Queen. Enraged, they agreed to kill it after the auction and claim its blood essence and Magical Core; the auction then began.

• Lu Yunxiao and his companions entered the VIP section and spotted Old Man Yingshan and a transformed seventh-rank magical beast among the guests.

• The Auction House filled with guests, a chime signaled the start, and a protective energy barrier rose around the auction platform.

Mo Tianxing appeared at the Black Emperor Sect auction, where Lu Yunxiao and his companions watched the sale and dismissed the threat he might pose. After bidding on several medicinal herbs, Lu Yunxiao became interested in a mysterious purple stone brought onto the auction platform.

• Mo Tianxing emerged at the auction and greeted the assembled factions while Lu Yunxiao and Queen Medusa assessed him.

• Lu Yunxiao bid on several medicinal herbs as the auction progressed and its items grew more valuable.
• The white-haired auctioneer presented a diamond-shaped stone glowing purple and covered in mysterious patterns, drawing Lu Yunxiao's interest.

Lu Yunxiao recognized that the mysterious stone carried an aura related to the Ancient Dragon Clan and agreed to bid for it at Zi Yan’s request. After the auction house demanded bartering instead of Gold Coins, he offered a Dou Spirit Pill and an Emperor Extreme Pill, drawing Mo Tianxing’s suspicion.

• Lu Yunxiao and Zi Yan sensed that the stone’s noble aura resembled that of the Ancient Dragon Clan, and Zi Yan said she wanted it.
• The White-haired Elder announced that the stone was exceptionally hard and gave off an aura surpassing the Dou Zong level, then required bidders to barter valuable items for it.
• The VIP bidders hesitated because they did not know what the stone contained and wanted to save their treasures for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva.
• Lu Yunxiao offered one Dou Spirit Pill and one Emperor Extreme Pill for the stone.
• Mo Tianxing wondered whether Lu Yunxiao had discovered the stone’s secret, while the White-haired Elder asked if anyone would offer more.

Lu Yunxiao won the mysterious stone at the Black Emperor Sect auction after no one dared offer a higher bid. The next lot was a gigantic corpse that he had planned to acquire, and its appearance drew the attention of the VIPs.

• A VIP offered an Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Skill for the stone, but the white-haired elder rejected it in favor of Dou Spirit Pills and Emperor Extreme Pills.
• Mo Tianxing approved the sale, and the white-haired elder awarded the stone to Lu Yunxiao.
• Lu Yunxiao explained to Xiao Yi Xian that the VIPs avoided risking their wealth on a stone whose origins they could not identify.
• The auction continued with valuable lots, and Lu Yunxiao remained seated until the white-haired elder introduced a corpse.
• The white-haired elder removed the corpse's covering, revealing a gigantic body more than ten zhang wide as Lu Yunxiao watched with interest.

Lu Yunxiao and the others examined a rare magical beast corpse at the auction and discussed who should receive its wings. When the auctioneer revealed it was a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Zi Yan reacted with intense bloodline-fueled disgust, and Lu Yunxiao explained the clan’s hostility toward the Ancient Void Dragons.

• Queen Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian both yielded the corpse’s jade-like wings to the other, but Lu Yunxiao decided Queen Medusa should take them and promised to teach Xiao Yi Xian the Carefree Immortal Ascent Steps.
• Zi Yan complained that everyone had ignored her before the white-haired elder introduced the corpse as a vicious beast on the verge of advancing from the seventh tier to the eighth.
• Zi Yan’s bloodline surged and she felt intense disgust toward the corpse, so Lu Yunxiao soothed her with Innate Kan Water Energy.
• Lu Yunxiao identified the corpse as a Heavenly Demon Phoenix and explained that its clan was second only to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan among magical beasts.
• Queen Medusa said she also disliked the Heavenly Demon Phoenix’s aura because her kind had been ancient enemies of the Heavenly Phoenixes.

Lu Yunxiao and the others watched the Black Emperor Sect auction a dried Heavenly Demon Phoenix corpse, whose unknown contents and valuable wings drew competing bids. The auction was still underway when the magical beast who had angered Lu Yunxiao and Queen Medusa raised the bid.

• Lu Yunxiao explained that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix corpse, especially its essence blood, Magical Core, and Jade Bone Wings, was valuable despite its unpleasant aura.
• The White-haired Elder claimed the Black Emperor Sect had preserved the corpse without examining it, while the bidders weighed the potential treasures against the risk of buying a useless carcass.

• Lu Yunxiao deduced that the Sky-Hunting Blue Eagle sensed the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline in the corpse and wanted it for its own evolution.
• Lu Yunxiao and Queen Medusa agreed to kill the Sky-Hunting Blue Eagle and take the corpse from it rather than compete for it at auction.

• The Sky-Hunting Blue Eagle won the dried magical beast corpse after Lu Yunxiao chose not to bid against it.
• Mo Tianxing personally took the stage to present the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, while Lu Yunxiao resolved to obtain it regardless of the cost.

The Black Emperor Sect revealed the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, drawing greed and excitement from the auction’s powerful guests. Lu Yunxiao resolved to obtain it as Mo Tianxing began an unusual auction in which bidders would offer items for exchange.

• Five Black Emperor Sect elders guarded the auction platform while Mo Tianxing unveiled the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva in a crystal box.
• Lu Yunxiao identified the treasure, and Xiao Yi Xian eagerly watched it while Zi Yan said she could not sense its aura.
• Lu Yunxiao’s Soul Power was repelled by the crystal box, and he silently resolved to obtain the treasure.

• Mo Tianxing announced that interested bidders would present items in person, and he would choose the offer he considered most valuable.

Lu Yunxiao entered the auction’s screening chamber and offered Mo Tianxing a Dou Zong Pill in exchange for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. Mo Tianxing’s alchemist confirmed the pill was genuine, leaving Mo Tianxing strongly tempted to accept the trade.

• Mo Tianxing concealed the auction platform with a pillar of light and invited bidders to enter one at a time.

• Mo Tianxing’s red-faced alchemist inspected the pill and confirmed it was genuine, and Lu Yunxiao asserted that the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva should now be his.

Lu Yunxiao offered Mo Tianxing a Dou Zong Pill in exchange for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, and Mo Tianxing decided the pill was the best choice. Lu Yunxiao then explained that Mo Tianxing planned to use Old Man Yingshan and a magical beast to attack them and seize the saliva.

• Mo Tianxing weighed the Dou Zong Pill against Old Man Yingshan’s Life-Reversal Pill and the magical beast’s Heavenly Origin Spirit Fruit, then chose Lu Yunxiao’s pill.
