Lin Feng spent several days with Xiao Yi Xian and Feng Qing'er, who joined forces to turn the tables on him. After escaping, he fell to the floor, and Xiao Yi Xian teased him while Feng Qing'er laughed; Lin Feng threatened revenge before preparing for the auction the next day.

• Feng Qing'er accepted Lin Feng's gifts and asked whether he had advanced to Dou Zun after seeing him defeat an Eight-star Dou Zong.
• Lin Feng explained that he had reached the peak of Seven-star Dou Zong and considered whether to give Feng Qing'er the Ancient Phoenix Blood Essence and magic core.

• Xiao Yi Xian teased Lin Feng about giving out quickly, and Lin Feng threatened to take revenge on both women.

Feng Qing'er discovered Lin Feng's Heavenly Phoenix Bone Wings and recognized them as belonging to an ancient, powerful Sky Demon Phoenix. After Lin Feng convinced her he had bought an old corpse rather than killed the beast, Feng Qing'er revealed that she belonged to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and demanded he return the wings.

• Feng Qing'er saw the wing tattoos on Lin Feng's back, touched them with her blood, and revealed a pair of enormous Heavenly Phoenix Bone Wings.
• Feng Qing'er accused Lin Feng of hunting a Sky Demon Phoenix, but he claimed he had bought its dried corpse at auction.

• Feng Qing'er demanded that Lin Feng give her the bone wings to return to her clan, warning that he would be killed if other clan members found out.

Lin Feng explained why he was reluctant to give Feng Qing'er the bone wings and revealed that the corpse he had bought was said to be an Ancient Phoenix. After examining the wings and seeing the magical core, Feng Qing'er recognized it as an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix core and became excited by the possibility of gaining its bloodline and inheritance.

• Lin Feng resisted Feng Qing'er's request to return the bone wings, and she warned him that her clan's experts would come after them if they discovered the remains.
• Lin Feng told Feng Qing'er that the auctioneer had called the corpse an Ancient Phoenix and that he had also obtained its magical core and essence blood.
• Feng Qing'er sniffed the bone wings, then asked Lin Feng to show her the magical core, and he took it out in a jade box.
• Feng Qing'er felt the core's ancient bloodline pressure and concluded that it belonged to an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, not a Heaven Demon Phoenix.
• Feng Qing'er imagined devouring the core to gain the Ancient Phoenix inheritance and strengthen her bloodline enough to pursue the Half-Saint realm.

Feng Qing'er confirmed that the Ancient Phoenix Magic Core came from a powerful Ancient Heavenly Phoenix and asked Lin Feng if she could have it. Lin Feng gave her the core and three drops of the phoenix’s essence blood in exchange for two conditions, leaving her embarrassed and eager to claim the inheritance.

• Feng Qing'er recalled how she had joined the Wind Lightning Pavilion to gain influence for the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and advance her own standing.
• Feng Qing'er used a drop of her essence blood to verify the magic core and learned that its owner had been a Peak Ninth-turn Dou Zun Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
• Lin Feng gave Feng Qing'er a Peak Seventh-grade pill to ease the harm caused by forcing out her essence blood.
• Feng Qing'er asked Lin Feng for the core, and he offered it in exchange for two conditions; she objected to his demand that she have many children.
• Lin Feng placed the magic core in Feng Qing'er's arms and gave her a jade bottle containing three drops of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's essence blood.

Feng Qing'er accepted becoming Lin Feng's secret lover and warned him that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would covet his Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bone wings. The next morning, Lin Feng and his companions headed to Xuandu Business's auction at the Shahuang Grand Arena.

• Feng Qing'er stored the Magic Core and blood essence and resolved to remain with Lin Feng rather than marry someone else.
• Feng Qing'er warned Lin Feng to hide his Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bone wings and explained that her clan could transplant such bones to increase their strength.
• Lin Feng forbade Feng Qing'er from undergoing the dangerous bone transplant, then comforted the jealous Xiao Yi Xian and proposed attending the auction the next day.

During the auction, Lin Feng and his companions received a visit from Green Wood Mansion’s Mansion Master branch, which apologized for the actions of Ye Huaicheng’s faction.

• Xiao Yi Xian questioned whether Ye Wensen was luring them into a trap, and he warned that Ye Huaicheng had summoned his Two-star Dou Zun Second Elder to ambush them.

• The auctioneer presented a trapped weasel as one of the Xuandu Business auction's final treasures, drawing the attention of the Dou Zun experts and nearly everyone in the hall.

At the Xuandu Business auction, a Grade Eight Nirvana Blood Spirit Pill triggered a frenzy before a VIP bidder won it with the corpse of a Two-star Dou Zun Magical Beast. The auctioneer then teased the next item as something connected to legendary Dou Sheng experts, leaving the crowd stunned.

• The auctioneer introduced the next item as a rare object connected to Dou Sheng experts, shocking the audience.

Xuandu Business auctioned a large, pure portion of Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva and claimed it could locate the Bodhi Heart, driving the crowd into a frenzy. The auction began at the price of one Seventh Grade Pill, while Xuandu Business’s leaders privately hoped to sell the useless substance and recover their costs.

• The auctioneer revealed the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva in a crystal box, and Lin Feng recognized it as purer and more plentiful than the portion they had used before.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable and Feng Qing'er were disappointed because they knew Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva had not helped their efforts to find the Bodhi Heart.
• The auctioneer described the Bodhi Heart’s reputed power to preserve life, nourish the soul, and help a cultivator advance to the Dou Sheng realm.
• The auctioneer started the bidding at one Seventh Grade Pill or an item of equivalent value, while Xuandu Business privately acknowledged that its Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva had failed to locate the Bodhi Heart for decades.

Lin Feng learned that Feng Qing'er’s clan possessed several portions of Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva and decided he wanted to obtain it for his plans. At the auction, Dong Yan tried to claim the lot with a powerful bid, but Ouyang Jie outbid him with a Grade 8 Two-Color Pill.
