• Yang Shan arrived on Eastern Dragon Island with Hei Qing and Bai Jing, then persuaded Zhu Li to help him secretly take Zi Yan out.
• Yang Shan explained that Zi Yan would cultivate more diligently after the outing and asked Zhu Li for a Space Jade Slip in case they encountered danger.

Yang Shan brought Zi Yan, disguised as Xiaoyan, to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan ahead of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ceremony to visit Feng Qing'er.

Yang Shan examined her new abilities and agreed to teach her Overload after she asked, leaving Feng Qing'er wary of undressing in front of Zi Yan.

• Yang Shan compared Feng Qing'er's lightning and flame with his own Heaven and Earth Oddities and found her powers could resist them far better than before.
• Feng Qing'er asked Yang Shan to teach her Overload, and he said she first had to prove her loyalty.
• Feng Qing'er refused to undress in front of Zi Yan, so Yang Shan told her he trusted her and required no proof.

Lucky Poison Hand relied on Yao Man’s backing to settle a dispute with the Thousand Poison Toad, then joined Yang Shan and the others as they joked and competed over their appeal. The group’s street outing ended when Su Yitang warned Yang Shan that tomorrow’s auction would require high-spec treasures to be exchanged for items.

• The Thousand Poison Toad tried to force Lucky Poison Hand to buy a spiritual plant, while Yang Shan and the others initially refused to help him.
• Lucky Poison Hand summoned Yao Man, an Eight Star Dou Zun elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, who intimidated the Thousand Poison Toad into providing the poison and paying one million Spirit Stones.

Yang Shan attended the Ten Thousand Beasts Ceremony auction with Su Yitang, where they met Little Qingqing, a newly hatched Qingluan who had already reached One Star Dou Zong. The auction began with a Wind and Thunder Pavilion technique, prompting Yang Shan to summon Feng Qing'er in anger.

• Su Yitang joined Yang Shan, and they teased each other about their relationship as the auction host began the proceedings.

• Zi Yan appeared with a golden fruit, recognized Little Qingqing as an Ancient Beast, and defended her own slow cultivation.
• The auctioneer introduced the Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body from Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and Yang Shan angrily summoned Feng Qing'er.

Yang Shan discovered that the Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body jade slip was tied to Lei Zhanghao’s Cloud Residence inheritance and bought it at the auction. As more secret techniques from major factions appeared, the group suspected the Ten Thousand Beasts Ceremony was arranging opportunities for Players, and the next item was revealed as the Yellow Spring Blood Art.

• Feng Qing'er told Yang Shan that the complete Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body had not been obtained through the Wind and Thunder Pavilion’s usual inheritance process, and Yang Shan confirmed the jade slip’s identity with Lei Zhanghao.
• Lei Zhanghao explained that the jade slip was a key to the Cloud Residence ruins and urged Yang Shan to secure it, so Yang Shan bid thirty million Spirit Stones and an Enlightenment Pill with Two-Colored Pill Lightning to win it.
• The auction offered the Starfall Pavilion’s Heavenfall Mysterious Aura, which Xiao Aotian bought with game items after running out of Spirit Stones.
• The Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion’s Spirit Slaughtering Sword Formation appeared next, followed by Sound Valley’s Formation Breaking Tune, which Su Yitang purchased after confirming its connection to Wu Duxiu’s inheritance.
• Yang Shan speculated that the ceremony was offering opportunities to every participating Player, then wondered whether Blood Rampage was present when the auction announced the Yellow Spring Pavilion’s Yellow Spring Blood Art.

At the Ten Thousand Beasts Ceremony auction, Yang Shan suspected that the many players’ fortuitous opportunities might carry long, dangerous quests, and he chose to avoid chasing opportunities recklessly. After three days of bidding for useful items for his companions, he made a bold barter offer for the final lot, an Immaculate Profound Crystal.

• Ye Suifeng, Huangfu Qiangwei, and Lucky Poison Hand each recognized their auction wins as likely fortuitous opportunities, while Yu Feifei lamented that she had received none.
• Yang Shan suspected AI Nüwa had arranged twenty-two opportunities with potentially difficult or lengthy paths, and he abandoned his plan to seek the Heaven Chapter of “Tyrant Blade.”
• Yang Shan bid on items for Su Yitang, Little Zi Yan, Little Qingqing, and Black Da Sha, while Feng Qing'er chose to bid for herself.
• The three-day auction brought player spending in the Big Shot Gathering Camp to more than one hundred million RMB in converted value.
• Yang Shan offered one Fire Bodhi Pill with Four-Colored Pill Lightning and two Enlightenment Pills with Two-Colored Pill Lightning for the Immaculate Profound Crystal, challenging anyone to outbid him.
