• Nalan Yanran called Xiao Feng shameless, while Xiao Zhan and the elders considered whether such compensation could make the broken engagement worthwhile.

• Xiao Feng rejected Nalan Yanran's terms and challenged her to a duel, wagering that she could end the engagement if she won but would have to leave two medicinal pills if she lost.

• Nalan Yanran thrust her sword at Xiao Feng's throat, but he let it pierce his left arm, trapped the blade, and slapped her to the ground.
• Xiao Xun'er tried to heal Xiao Feng, but he refused the pill and let her bandage his arm.

Xiao Zhan then took Xiao Feng to the Mittel Auction House to pursue a Wind Attribute cultivation method that could help him prepare for his Three-Year Agreement with Nalan Yanran.

When the auction sparked fierce bidding among Wutan City's powerful families, Xiao Feng recognized that Xiao Yan's master had likely refined the liquid and stopped Xiao Zhan from spending more.

• Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhan arrived at the Mittel Auction House, and Xiao Yan followed them in disguise to sell two portions of Foundation Establishment Liquid.

• Ya Fei began the bidding at eight thousand gold coins, and Jia Lie Bi and Oba Pa helped drive the price upward.
• Xiao Zhan bid thirty thousand gold coins, but Xiao Feng warned him that Xiao Yan's master had probably refined the liquid, so Xiao Zhan stopped bidding.

Ya Fei introduced the Mystic High-Rank Wind Scroll Technique as the auction’s grand finale, sparking fierce bidding among Wutan City’s factions. As Jia Lie Bi and Xiao Zhan competed for it, Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao for a wind-attribute Earth-Rank Cultivation Method for Xiao Feng, and Yao Lao agreed he had one suitable for him.

• Jia Lie Bi and Oba Pa bought the two bottles of Foundation Establishment Liquid for thirty-eight thousand gold coins each after Xiao Feng stopped Xiao Zhan from bidding further.

After practicing his new skills, Xiao Feng decided to leave Wutan City for a year to gain experience and earn Merit Points, and his family and friends supported his plan.

• Nalan Su complained that Nalan Yanran's broken-engagement visit and defeat had damaged the Nalan Family's reputation.
• Nalan Su noticed Nalan Yanran's wounds and feared someone at Misty Cloud Sect had mistreated her, but she explained that she had sustained them fighting Iron Claw Wolves.
