On the boring journey, Liu Yun suddenly remembered that the system seemed to have added a new feature: the Lucky Big Turntable.

Lucky Big Turntable: Costs 10 Mission Points per spin. You can draw cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, weapons, pills, and various other items. (Hint: The system reserves the final right of interpretation for the Lucky Big Turntable, also known as no explanation will be given.)

Liu Yun was speechless. Looking at the turntable, it was like a round sheet of white paper with nothing on it. Combined with the system's final hint, could this Lucky Big Turntable be a scam?

But now that he had nowhere else to spend his Mission Points, he decided to give it a try!

"System, spin the Lucky Big Turntable," Liu Yun said.

"Ding, the Lucky Big Turntable has activated. Deducting 10 Mission Points from the host."

What followed was a dizzying burst of high-speed spinning. Liu Yun had no idea what the point of this operation was. The turntable was just a blank board—couldn't it simply give him the result directly?

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Liu Yun Ring through the Lucky Big Turntable."

Liu Yun Ring: Function One: Contains 1,000 cubic meters of space and can store any item without intelligence. Function Two: Once the owner of the Liu Yun Ring is injured or faces a life-threatening crisis, the Liu Yun Ring will project the host to the scene. While in projection form, the host can perform beyond their usual limits. Performing Beyond Limits: Determined by the Return multiplier of the bound target.

"This ring is freaking awesome!" Liu Yun exclaimed in delight.

He had never expected to draw such a heaven-defying ring from a single spin. If he gave the ring to Ya Fei, then when he projected himself over there, wouldn't he be able to display ten times his combat strength?

Having tasted the benefits, Liu Yun decisively clicked to draw again.

"Ding, the Lucky Big Turntable has activated. Deducting 10 Mission Points from the host."

After another familiar sequence, the rapidly spinning turntable gradually slowed before coming to a complete stop. Then the system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Liu Yun Sword through the Lucky Big Turntable."

Liu Yun Sword: Function One: A growth-type sword. After recognizing an owner, its grade will rise along with its owner's cultivation realm. Function Two: Once the owner of the Liu Yun Sword is injured or faces a life-threatening crisis, the Liu Yun Sword will project the host to the scene. While in projection form, the host can perform beyond their usual limits. (Hint: The host does not need to make the sword recognize an owner and may use the Liu Yun Sword directly.)

Liu Yun felt completely numb. This Lucky Big Turntable was simply too amazing.

"I take back what I said before. I misunderstood you, my dear big whiteboard... turntable," Liu Yun said joyfully.

"System, spin the Lucky Big Turntable again!" Liu Yun intended to strike while the iron was hot and try once more.

"Ding, the Lucky Big Turntable has activated. Deducting 10 Mission Points from the host."

The turntable spun. Liu Yun stared at it with immense anticipation, his eyes seemingly shining.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining: Thank You for Your Patronage."

Liu Yun was dumbfounded. You were congratulating him for getting Thank You for Your Patronage? What the hell was that supposed to mean?

Still, he was in a good mood at the moment, so he did not dwell on it.

Taking out the Liu Yun Sword, Liu Yun flicked it in a flourish and immediately felt waves of energy coming from the blade. It was far stronger than a sword made with a Third-tier Magic Core. After all, he did not need to use Dou Qi to activate the Magical Core himself. It was simple and practical, and its power was incredible.

As evening approached, Liu Yun put on his familiar mask and entered Wutan City.

Looking at the bustling streets, he felt rather emotional. At last, he no longer had to be constantly on guard against Magical Beasts.

However, what puzzled him was that there seemed to be more luxuriously dressed people on the streets. They were definitely not locals of Wutan City and had likely come from elsewhere.

Liu Yun did not pay them much attention. They had nothing to do with him, as long as they did not provoke him. Who wasn't a rich second-generation heir? As if I'd be afraid of you people.

After walking all the way to the end of the street and seeing the familiar Mittle Auction House, he smiled as if he had returned home.

"Brother, have you seen Elder He, He Qingfeng, return while you've been standing at the entrance?" Liu Yun asked the guard at the door.

"Reporting to you, young master, I have not seen Elder He return," the guard said.

"I understand. You've worked hard, so keep it up!" Liu Yun nodded and walked inside.

He felt terrible. He and Elder He had encountered that third-tier Sabertooth Tiger yesterday. If Elder He had escaped at the time, he would certainly have returned today.

Since he had yet to return, there were only two possibilities. Either Elder He had failed to escape, or he had escaped but was too severely injured to return. Neither possibility boded well.

Entering the auction house, Liu Yun headed to the third floor. Rather than going to his own quarters, he went straight to Ya Fei's room and knocked on her door.

"Sister Ya Fei, are you inside?" Liu Yun called out.

Hurried footsteps came from within, and before long, the door opened. Seeing Ya Fei's alluring figure once more, Liu Yun was unsurprisingly stunned by her beauty yet again.

"Little Brother Liu Yun, you're finally back. These past few days must have exhausted you. Come in and have some tea," Ya Fei said, her red lips parting slightly.

"It's only been a few days, but Sister Ya Fei has become even more beautiful!" Liu Yun said with a smile.

"You smooth talker!"

Ya Fei laughed and scolded him as she picked up the teapot and poured tea. Her movements were skilled and elegant, brimming with grace.

"Sister Ya Fei, what is the finale auction item for tomorrow's auction?" Liu Yun asked.

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. Tomorrow will be the first auction you've overseen since becoming the chief person in charge. Your sister has even brought out all her best goods," Ya Fei said with a smile.

Liu Yun was immediately intrigued and quickly put on an attentive expression.

Ya Fei continued, "We have prepared three finale items for this auction: the Mysterious Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique, Chasing Wind Slash; the Mysterious Tier High-grade cultivation method, Wind Scroll Art; and the Fourth-grade Pill, Qi Gathering Powder."

Hearing the auction items Ya Fei had listed, Liu Yun could not remain calm.

What kind of place was Wutan City? It was merely a small frontier city of the Jia Ma Empire. Could they really make their money back by auctioning such valuable items in a place like this?

Perhaps seeing what Liu Yun was thinking, Ya Fei gave a soft laugh and said calmly:

"Don't worry. We've stepped up our publicity over the past few days, and quite a few people will be attending this auction. Several groups have even come from the Imperial Capital, so we definitely won't lose money.

"Speaking of which, we have to thank you. With you, the Young Clan Leader, serving as the chief person in charge, headquarters specifically promoted it in the Imperial Capital.

"When those families heard that a Mysterious Tier High-grade cultivation method had appeared, they were like wolves who had spotted sheep. Wutan City's inns have been packed these past few days. I heard that even the Misty Cloud Sect is interested."

Liu Yun was not surprised in the slightest. In a remote empire like the Jia Ma Empire, Earth Tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques were practically impossible to find. The Mysterious Tier was already the limit. Now that an unheard-of Mysterious Tier High-grade cultivation method had appeared, it would be strange if people did not rush over to fight for it.

Speaking of which, this Wind Scroll Art had also appeared in the original work. It seemed to have ultimately been bought by Jia Lie Bi, the Jia Lie Family's clan leader. Because of his appearance, this cultivation method had been placed on the auction stage half a year earlier.

"Sister Ya Fei, where did the Wind Scroll Art come from? How could a Mysterious Tier High-grade cultivation method appear in Wutan City?" Liu Yun asked.

"The Wind Scroll Art was consigned by someone, and so was that Dou Technique. That guest was very mysterious, so I don't know the specifics," Ya Fei said.

Liu Yun suddenly understood. On the Dou Qi Continent, it was perfectly normal for someone short on money to pull out a Dou Technique and sell it. Many important figures did the same.

So, there was an important figure in Wutan City right now?
