From Firefly, Speedrunning the World: Exotic Flame Map
"Miss Yun Li, what is your expected value for this sword? If possible, I would like to buy it directly."
Such a thing would be a threat to anyone who falls into its hands, so it's best to take it over yourself, even if it comes at a certain cost.
However, Yun Li refused without even thinking about it.
"No, let's hold an auction instead."
Is money what she lacks?
What's lacking is the Precious Sword's fame, and auctioning it is one of the best ways to spread its fame and the fastest way to attract the interest of others.
"... I can buy it at the highest price; it will definitely not be worse than what I get at auction!"
Rejected in this way, Yuan Yi's expression changed, but he really didn't want to give up. Moreover, having such a trump card up his sleeve was a significant advantage if his opponent didn't know about it.
"Didn't you understand that I said auction?"
Yun Li frowned, and her small body instantly released an extremely terrifying pressure.
As a Dou Huang, Yuan Yi's protective Dou Qi had just appeared, but it was completely useless. He was directly pressed to the ground, causing spider web-like cracks to appear on the ground.
"What?!"
Yuan Yi's mind went blank for a moment, as if he were seeing an endless hell.
When he came to his senses, his clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he had just died. Looking at Yun Li again, all that remained in his eyes was deep fear.
Is she a legendary venerable one, or a saint?
It was so terrifying that I dared to disrespect such a terrifying being.
It is indeed a sign of the person before us that he has not died.
After he recovered, Yuan Yi dared not have any more impulsive thoughts and immediately knelt down in front of the girl and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"I was rude. Thank you for sparing my life, sir."
Having become a Dou Huang, he was incredibly composed and didn't care about saving face at all. Compared to life and death, it meant nothing.
"Snort!"
Yun Li gave a cute little hum.
If she were on the Xianzhou, it would be understandable for those people to treat her like a child, but in this world, what should they call her?
Call him Supreme!
"This will only happen once, there will be no next time."
Yun Li didn't have much murderous intent; she was just giving him a warning. Besides, she needed his help to auction off the weapons she had forged. However, if he dared to act this way again, things wouldn't be so simple.
"Yes, I will keep that in mind."
"I will certainly fulfill the instructions given to me by my master..."
Yuan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had escaped with his life. Then he thought about how the Blood Sect members had offended the person in front of him, and their fate would probably be quite tragic.
"That would be best."
"Oh, and these weapons too, you can auction them off as well."
As she spoke, Yun Li took out three more swords and explained their abilities. After hearing Yun Li's explanation, Yuan Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.
How can there be so many terrifying weapons in this world?
Without exception, they are all extremely important to Dou Zong, Dou Zun, and even Dou Sheng, and they all have a bonus effect on the legendary Dou Sheng.
To think that a mere Dou Huang like himself would have the opportunity to preside over such an auction is giving him far too much credit.
But at the same time, he was very excited. Being able to host such an auction would be an absolute honor for him.
It's even possible that they could become famous throughout the entire Dou Huo Continent.
"My lord, I have a request."
"What is it?"
"I wonder if our Seven Doors are qualified to participate in the auction of these Divine Weapons?"
Yuan Yi asked the girl in front of him with great trepidation. Faced with such a treasure, he would never be satisfied if he didn't try to win it.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's a normal auction."
Yun Li was taken aback, then shook her head to indicate that she didn't care.
She just wanted other people to know about these weapons; nothing else mattered.
"Thank you, sir."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Yuan Yi immediately kowtowed in gratitude.
As long as there's a chance!
At the same time, he became even more curious about the girl in front of him and the Zhuming Xianzhou behind her. Just how powerful was this force that it could so easily put such a divine artifact up for auction?
If any other top power had such a weapon, wouldn't they keep it firmly in their own hands?
After consigning the weapons to be auctioned to the Black Seal Auction House, Yun Li and Little Fairy Doctor turned and left. She wasn't worried that Yuan Yi covet her weapons.
That would be suicide.
Moreover, every weapon she forges has a unique connection and imprint with Yun Li.
With these backup plans in place, Yun Li wasn't worried about anything going wrong. In fact, because of this, she made an agreement with a rather nice Heliobus to consign one of the demon swords as well.
Yuan Yi's acquisition of the Divine Weapon consigned by Yun Li directly altered the order of the upcoming auctions, as the Imperial Pill was no longer the final treasure.
He even decided that he would personally preside over the entire auction from beginning to end, only in this way could he feel more at ease.
Time passed quickly, and soon the Black Seal Auction House officially began.
Using the credentials granted by Yuan Yi, Yun Li led Little Fairy Doctor directly to the VIP room on the second floor. This room not only offered a variety of desserts but also had beautiful and lovely maids attending to them.
The auction hasn't officially started yet, but people are gradually arriving.
Due to the special nature of this auction, a great many parties participated, making it a very lively event, and the venue chosen was also a very large place.
Disciples of the Seven Doors were everywhere watching over the area to prevent any accidents from happening and to deal with them promptly.
Sitting in the cubicle, Yun Li glanced at the scene, especially the cubicle area, and noticed that several Dou Huang-level figures had actually come in person.
The allure of the Imperial Pill is indeed considerable...
At the same time, Yun Li also noticed Fan Ling, the Young Master of the Blood Sect. However, his condition was not good. His face was extremely pale, and he was coughing incessantly, looking like he was about to die.
His father, however, wasn't present at the scene. It's unclear whether he was hiding somewhere or engaged in some other activity. Otherwise, the Imperial Pill should have been quite appealing to him...
"He will die soon after the auction ends and he leaves the city."
Seeing that Yun Li was looking in Fan Ling's direction, Little Fairy Doctor sat down beside her and said softly.
Not only did she poison him without leaving a trace, but she also timed the death perfectly.
This way, the auction won't be delayed, and the other party can be dealt with.
"Um."
Yun Li wouldn't care how horribly a bad person like Fan Ling died.
Some people are even worse than the Demon Sword.
"Hmm..."
After observing the scene for a while, but before the auction had officially started, Yun Li couldn't help but yawn, feeling a bit sleepy.
Upon seeing Yun Li like this, Little Fairy Doctor didn't think much and sat down in a suitable position, her legs together.
"The auction won't start for a while yet. If you're feeling sleepy, just lie on me for a bit!"
Little Fairy Doctor knew that Yun Li liked to lie on her lap like this, a habit she inherited from another physician named Ling Sha.
However, she didn't care. Even if Yun Li really regarded her as that Ling Sha sister, it didn't matter.
"Okay, call me when it starts."
Yun Li naturally had no objections. She rubbed her cute big eyes, then laid her head on Little Fairy Doctor's lap, absorbing the familiar scent of herbs, and closed her eyes.
Seeing Yun Li lying obediently on her lap, Little Fairy Doctor reached out and patted her head.
She's so cute, just like a kitten!
Especially when eating.
But when faced with an enemy, she transforms from a kitten into a tiger, giving people an unparalleled sense of security. How can there be such a cute and reassuring girl in this world?
If only Yun Li weren't a girl...
Thinking this, she didn't know how much time had passed before the auction officially began. Little Fairy Doctor gently shook Yun Li awake, who was drooling from a dream about something delicious, her thighs and dress soaked with saliva.

Chapter 29: Exotic Flame Map
"Yun Li, wake up, the auction has started."
Looking at Yun Li, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't bear to wake her, but she still gently shook her awake with her hand.
This was Yun Li's own request; she had never actually participated in or experienced an auction before.
More importantly, perhaps this auction will offer something she needs.
"Hmm, has it started?"
Yun Li rubbed her eyes sleepily, looking like a kitten that hadn't woken up yet—so adorable!
However, when she felt something wet on her cheeks, she became much more alert. What water had been spilled here, or had Little Fairy Doctor urinated?
Touching the corner of her mouth, Yun Li realized what was happening.
No, it's my own saliva.
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, I accidentally got your dress wet..."
"It's okay."
Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor smiled and didn't mind. Although she was a little uncomfortable from being wet with saliva, it didn't matter.
After Yun Li got up, she easily dried her clothes with her battle qi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this Black Seal Auction House. I am sure you will find it worthwhile."
"Then without further ado, let's begin the auction."
As soon as the auction began, a figure appeared without a trace in the main auction venue, releasing his Dou Huang aura without reservation, which startled everyone present.
"Isn't this the head of the Seven Doors? The head of the Seven Doors is personally presiding over the auction? He's a Dou Huang-level figure."
"Yes, I've attended countless Black Seal Auction House, but this is the first time I've seen the Seven Doors Master personally auctioning off items. Could the items up for auction this time be extremely important?"
"I heard that they possess the Imperial Pill as a suppressing treasure, so even many Dou Huang from other forces have come here in person."
"Even if it's the Imperial Pill, shouldn't the Seven Doors Master personally step down to oversee it?"
Everyone who came to participate in the auction was shocked to feel the power of Yuan Yi, the leader of the Seven Doors, who was at the Douhuang level. This was definitely the first time in history.
You never get to see such important people normally!
Not to mention being so lucky to participate in an auction personally presided over by the Dou Huang (Battle Emperor), it's a great honor to talk about.
"That guy Yuan Yi actually personally took charge of the event..."
Compared to others, the leaders of the various forces in the Black Twisting Domain had more to think about, and were somewhat shaken by Yuan Yi's personal appearance.
Their originally ill-intentioned thoughts have become much more subdued, as the Dou Huang is already a top-tier existence in the entire Black Twisting Domain.
"That's interesting..."
"Even with the Imperial Pill, there's no need to go to this extent."
Su Mei lay half-reclined in the chair, lost in thought, a hint of amusement on her face, especially after glancing at the other Dou Huangs of the same level.
When she saw Yun Li and Little Fairy Doctor again, she felt a chill run down her spine for some reason, as if she sensed some terrifying presence.
"Then the first item up for auction is the advanced Xuan-tier Dou Technique, 'Storm Cloud Trap'..."
