Hu Liena cultivated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Skill while traveling with Spirit Hall’s vast convoy carrying three hundred million Gold Soul Coins to Heaven Dou City for the Longevity Pill auction. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi considered asking Emperor Xue Ye to open the forbidden World Vault so the sect could compete with Spirit Hall.

• Ning Fengzhi proposed negotiating with Emperor Xue Ye to open the World Vault, whose treasures were jointly held by the sect and the Heaven Dou Empire and could only be used in a crisis.

Ning Fengzhi decided that the Heaven Dou Empire would agree to open the World Vault because it needed money for Longevity Pills and a potential war.
