Following a Rich Lady!

Red Elder, Fire Attribute Dou Wang, had even bathed in a raging fire to hone his Dou Qi! But that was just a fire lit with firewood! Not this golden fire! Red Elder desperately used his Dou Qi to resist it.

But he found that his Dou Qi melted away incredibly fast after encountering the golden flames, just like ice and snow meeting the spring sun! Once his Dou Qi was gone, it was his skin's turn.

His hands and feet also began to slowly burn into white ash.

Red Elder was considered a ruthless figure in Dusk City, with a fearsome reputation.

But no matter how ruthless he was, faced with the despair of impending death and the pain of being stabbed all over his body as if by a thousand thorns, he couldn't help but let out a wail.

He wanted to beg for mercy.

But the pain had made it impossible for him to speak coherently; he could only scream out of instinct.

Yang Shan rushed over, couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw the golden flames.

Although not explicitly stated in the original novel, the game provides relevant background information in later versions after Xiao Xun'er's appearance in the expansion pack: Xiao Xun'er's biological father, Gu Yuan, the Ancient Clan Chief Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, sealed the Ancient Clan's supreme treasure, the "Golden Emperor Burning Flame," within Xiao Xun'er 'Xiao Xun'er body to ensure her safety while traveling! As Xiao Xun'er's strength gradually increases, the "Golden Emperor Burning Flame" will gradually be unsealed, helping Xiao Xun'er to unleash her bloodline potential more quickly.

The Golden Emperor Burning Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, possesses extremely terrifying burning power.

Legend has it that the first owner of the Golden Emperor Burning Flame used this Heavenly Flames to burn the space created by a Dou Sheng Expert into nothingness! In that version, the official update notes even stated: Killing "Gu Xun'er" will guarantee the drop of the Golden Emperor Burning Flame! And some players did try to kill Xiao Xun'er.

But these "brave warriors" ultimately proved what "trying and dying" truly means with their lost experience points.

Yang Shan is a very rational person; he would never even think about killing Xiao Xun'er and seizing the "Golden Emperor Burning Flame".

He only wanted to wrest the right to kill Red Elder from Xiao Xun'er! "Senior! Wait! Wait!"

Upon hearing Yang Shan's call, Xiao Xun'er did not hesitate at all and put away the Golden Emperor Burning Flame.

Red Elder, who was burned by the Golden Emperor Burning Flame, is now truly reduced to a "remaining body".

His hands and feet had been burned off, and he lay on the ground convulsing, with very little blood left.

Seeing Red Elder's miserable state, Yang Shan couldn't help but feel envious.

Although only a small portion of the seal on the Golden Emperor Burning Flame has been lifted, its power is already terrifying enough.

Fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking! Gu Yuan truly dotes on his daughter!

Yang Shan stepped forward and explained to Xiao Xun'er:

"Senior, I used to hang out in Dusk City for a while. This Red Elder is a lecherous monster who doesn't even spare dogs. I've wanted to kill him for a long time. Could you give me this chance?"

Red Elder's eyes had already been blinded by the Golden Emperor Burning Flame.

But he can still hear.

Upon hearing Yang Shan's words, Red Elder struggled to explain.

I have very high standards! What do you mean by not even sparing a dog? But Red Elder's tongue seems to have been burned to ashes, and he can only wail.

Xiao Xun'er took a half step back:

"Okay, you come here."

Fearing that Xiao Xun'er might change her mind, Yang Shan imbued the Thunderbolt Blade with the Ape King Violet Lightning and hurled it at her.

The Thunderbolt Blade struck Red Elder's throat precisely.

Her already meager health was instantly depleted.

[Ding! Player has defeated Red Elder (purple; Two-Star Dou Wang), with a 1% contribution rate. Player gains 800 experience points.]

After all, it was just a final blow, and Red Elder had no chance to resist.

A contribution rate of 1% would be quite good.

Compared to experience, Yang Shan values the fall of this Dou Wang more!

Of course, Yang Shan wouldn't be foolish enough to go up and pick up the fallen items now.

"Senior, a Dou Wang should have quite a few good things."

Yang Shan stood still, his meaning clear: Red Elder's belongings should belong to Xiao Xun'er! But Yang Shan was certain that Xiao Xun'er wouldn't want them! With Xiao Xun'er's status and position, what was the wealth of a Dou Wang compared to that? Even a Dou Zun would be green with envy at the sight of what was in Xiao Xun'er's Storage Ring!

Looking at Red Elder's wretched appearance, Xiao Xun'er didn't even want to glance at him again.

"No need. You helped me buy time and got injured. You can use this person's things to exchange for some medicine."

She's a rich woman!

This is the kind of aura a rich woman should have! Xiao Xun'er didn't linger and said, "Once you're ready, head north. There are still some Blood Sect members chasing after our junior brothers and sisters. I'll go help them first."

Yang Shan: "Okay, I'll be there shortly!"

Xiao Xun'er drifted away.

Yang Shan rubbed his hands together and went to Red Elder's corpse.

I couldn't wait to open Red Elder's loot selection list.

Let's see what good stuff Red Elder has! The more Yang Shan looked, the fainter his smile became.

Damn it, is this all the assets a Dou Wang has?

You're kidding me!

Yang Shan refused to believe it and scrolled all the way to the bottom.

Good heavens! The most valuable item is Fire Attribute attack Dou Technique with a low-level Blue Word Seal of this Profound Tier Low Grade.

Even if you put a dog on the Auction House, there are still plenty of players willing to Woof Woof Woof! But it really can't fetch a very high price anymore.

Although many players choose to specialize in Fire Attribute, this Dou Technique will probably only sell for around 20,000.

"Wait a minute! You're Dou Wang! You're Dou Wang!"

Yang Shan gritted his teeth.

After tossing the Dou Technique manual into his Storage Ring, Yang Shan also adhered to the principle of not wasting anything and collected all the Spirit Stone on the ground.

Then a secret manual with a bright red cover came into view.

"Burning Spirit Skill": Advanced Profound Rank (Purple Word Seal)!

Items dropped by kills will naturally not be added to the loot selection list.

Yang Shan laughed so hard his mouth almost split open:

"I got the loot from the kill, I'll tell you I'm lucky!"

We've made a fortune! We've really hit the jackpot this time.

Cultivation techniques are a level more valuable than Dou Technique.

The Mystic Rank Advanced Skill with Purple Word Seal is only slightly inferior to Yang Shan's "Wrathful Thunder Mystic Skill".

But Yang Shan Shanben was already ahead of the entire server.

The item he had was slightly inferior, but it could significantly boost the performance of other players! Yang Shan carefully collected the dropped item and immediately headed north.

The rest of the journey went relatively smoothly.

We didn't encounter any particularly tough opponents.

Yang Shan also casually placed Red Elder's belongings there when he passed through Sky Yin City.

Yang Shan set the starting price for "Burning Spirit Skill" at 500,000! And just three minutes after "Burning Spirit Skill" was put on the market, Wang Tianhao, the former richest man in Shun Huo Nuan, received the news.

In a private room at a restaurant in the Gama Holy City, Wang Tianhao spoke:

"What? High-level Xuan rank, Purple Word Seal, are you sure?"

Xiao Ji: "Really! Wang Shao, I even brought the screenshots. Look at these stats! 100 points of Dou Qi Intensity, 600 points of Dou Qi Total! Anyone who gets this thing will be set in heaven!"

Meanwhile, Hao Yunqi, who was frantically stroking the female player's thigh, suddenly stood up. "What? 100 points of Dou Qi Intensity?"

A few days ago, when Hao Yunqi was leveling up in the wild, a bird dropping landed on his eye.

Hao Yunqi wailed as he went to wash his face by the stream, but accidentally fell in.

Who would have thought that a mysterious opportunity was hidden at the bottom of the stream!

Hao Yunqi thus obtained a Mystic Rank Middle-Level- rank Fire Attribute cultivation technique with Purple Word Seal.

But the appearance of this Mystic Rank Advanced Skill made Hao Yunqi understand.

Just having good luck isn't enough!

Wang Tianhao: "What's the starting price for that cultivation technique?"

Xiao Ji: "500,000".

Wang Tianhao nodded, and began frantically tapping his right index finger in front of him.

A short while later, Wang Tianhao said casually, "It's settled! Let's go to the Auction House. I'm definitely getting this cultivation technique!"

Wang Tianhao also specializes in Fire Attribute.

The highest-grade item in the Auction House today is this "Burning Spirit Skill".

Wang Tianhao simply couldn't refuse! Even though he already had Hao Yunqi, Top Player at this stage, under his command.

But how could Wang Tianhao not want to be the strongest? Wang Tianhao didn't have Hao Yunqi's good luck, but he had money!

Upon arriving at the Mitier Auction House, Wang Tianhao immediately clicked on the Auction House section. (For a more immersive experience, the Auction House can only be accessed through in-game Auction House or Marketplace.) Item rankings in the Auction House are based on real-time bidding.

The "Burning Spirit Skill" is listed in the very first column of the Auction House! The number is very prominent:

1285800!

It's obvious that Battle Through the Heavens is a global phenomenon, and there are tons of wealthy players in the game.

Super-rich players are definitely not rare.

One million two hundred and eighty thousand is a sum that ordinary people might not be able to save even after twenty years of hard work and saving every penny.

But for super-rich players, it might just be half a month's worth of pocket money.

Wang Tianhao quickly entered a number.

The bidding price for "Burning Spirit Skill" rose to three million! Then the number quickly increased to three million and one hundred thousand.

Three million five hundred thousand.

Wang Tianhao waved his hand: Four million! Damn it, trying to compete with me in terms of money? My dad is Wang Jian! Four million two hundred thousand! Hao Yunqi reminded him from the side:

"Wang Shao, isn't this a bit too much?"

Xiao Ji chimed in, "Are you Wang Shao? There's nothing in this world that Wang Shao n't afford!"

Wang Tianhao remained silent and entered the numbers again:

5,000,000!

Wang Tianhao certainly didn't raise prices blindly.

In this version, the production of Xuan-level cultivation techniques remains scarce.

As for Mystic Rank Advanced Skill, Wang Tianhao had never Auction House even a green-lettered Purple Word Seal Green Word Seal.

By acquiring this martial arts manual, Wang Tianhao will possess an advantage that most players simply cannot match, at least in this version!

With Wang Tianhao's combat power soaring, he can team up with Hao Yunqi to fight higher-level monsters and obtain better resources.

Then it will drive the development of the entire Tian Hao Alliance! This is a virtuous cycle.

Ordinary people usually look at actual value, but businessmen choose to look at potential value! A virtuous cycle of guild development is something that can't be forced.

Let alone five million.

Even if it's six million or seven million, he has to get it!

Of course, there are also many wealthy people who share the same thoughts as Wang Tianhao.

The bidding price continued to climb until the auction time ended. Yang Shan then received a system message: "[Attention player, the auction for your item ' Burning Spirit Skill ' on the Auction House has ended. The bid price was 8,210,000 RMB. After deducting a 1% handling fee, 8,127,900 RMB will be transferred to your bank account within five minutes. Please confirm your account information.]"
