Inside the elegant room of Beishan Hu.

As the prices in the hall gradually increased, Xue Hongyi's heart pounded faster.

What was being auctioned was, after all, his treasure.

When Mu Lanyu suddenly increased the price from 95,000 jin of Origin Liquid to 110,000 Origin Liquid, Xue Hongyi's face lit up with joy.

"Haha, the Mulan Clan has also made a move." Beishan Hu couldn't help but laugh.

He stood at the window of the elegant room, looking around with self-satisfaction.

A treasure worth over 100,000 jin of Origin Liquid is unprecedented in the entire Sea Hero Hall Treasure Competition.

In the future, when the noble sons and daughters of various families and sects talk about their families, they will naturally not be able to avoid mentioning the name Beishan Hu.

Beishan Hu and Xue Hongyi both turned their gazes toward Lie Longying and Meng Leshan.

The two remained silent for a long time, clearly indicating that the price had exceeded their expectations.

"110,000 jin of Origin Liquid is not bad," Xue Hongyi thought to herself.

He tried to refine the ' Seven Luminaries Star Wheel ' after he obtained it.

Because the magic weapon's runes were incomplete and its original spirit had long since dissipated, it could be refined by those at the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

However, activating it consumes too much Origin Power.

Even his master, the ' Daoist Han Yang ' who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, could only barely activate the Seven Luminaries Star Wheel.

However, without the complete magic weapon runes and the matching cultivation technique, this ancient treasure was less powerful than a Heaven-rank magic weapon in the hands of Daoist Han Yang.

As for completing the secret runes or erasing and refining them, it would require at least a master craftsman of the Earth Immortal or Loose Immortal level to do it.

Seeking such an entity to intervene is beyond the capabilities of a small to medium-sized sect like Snow Dragon Mountain.

"I'll exchange this useless magic weapon for 110,000 jin of Origin Liquid. If I can advance one more step and fully master a Dao, then I can absorb the Origin Liquid and enter the Nascent Soul realm." Xue Hongyi's eyes were full of eagerness and anticipation.

In fact, with his current level of cultivation, he could have already entered the Nascent Soul stage.

But after arriving in Antan City and seeing more of the world, Xue Hongyi's standards for herself have also risen accordingly.

He wouldn't be like his master, who entered the Nascent Soul stage early and then got stuck at the bottleneck of perfection for a thousand years without making any progress.

If you're going to learn, learn from the Black-White Academy. Lay a solid foundation in the realm of Myriad Phenomena, comprehend and master a complete path, and then break through.

At that time, Xue Hongyi will be the strongest person in Snow Dragon Mountain!

"111,000 jin of Origin Liquid!" A clear voice suddenly rang out.

Is he the Inspector General, the Changsheng?

Xue Hongyi's eyes lit up.

"Fight! Fight! The more Origin Liquid the better. This Origin Liquid will become the foundation for my future domination of Antan Commandery."

The elegant rooms were all silent.

Everyone looked at Mu Lanyu, who had previously seemed determined to obtain this ancient treasure.

"The Mulan Clan excels at crafting puppets, and these magical artifacts with ancient runes are the most tempting to them," Beishan Hu chuckled softly. "He certainly won't give up easily."

"Mm." Xue Hongyi nodded, looking at Mu Lanyu expectantly.

But Mu Lanyu muttered a few words under her breath, then shook her head and fell silent.

"Are there any higher ones?"

The Zi Yi on the high platform looked around, especially at the elegant room where Mu Lanyu was.

Unfortunately, no one made a bid.

"In that case, this set of ancient treasures belongs to the Changsheng." The Zi Yi laughed loudly, "And congratulations to Young Master Beishan Hu for selling the treasure for 111,000 catties of Origin Liquid."

She was very excited that such a valuable treasure would appear in the treasure competition held in the Sea Hero Hall, which she was in charge of.

Seeing that Mu Lanyu backed down as soon as Zhou Hao made his bid, Beishan Hu Mu Lanyu cursed inwardly:

"What kind of 'oldest family' is this? They're just sycophants who only care about how others look down on them. Just because a Myriad Phenomena True Person spoke up, they dared not raise the price anymore?"

However, the fact that a magical artifact using his own name to compete for treasure could fetch such an astronomical price means that his initial goal had been achieved.

The envious and amazed glances cast from the other private rooms made Beishan Hu's face flush.

"Hmph, with our treasures, whose value rivals that of a Heavenly Rank magic weapon, before us, let's see what extraordinary treasure you, the special envoy of the inspection, will bring out next." Beishan Hu looked towards the center of the hall.

Five maids were already carrying the snow-white armor that the two fairies, Xiao Qin and Ziyi, had taken earlier, and were heading towards the Zi Yi.

Inside Zhou Hao's elegant room.

Beishan Baiwei saw Beishan Hu looking smug at the window of the elegant room in the distance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Let you be smug for now; you'll be in for a surprise later."

Previously, Beishan Hu had his attendants deliver the treasure to the treasure-hunting competition before Xiao Qin and the other two fairies, but Beishan Baiwei had not yet figured out the reason behind it.

Now that the treasure hunt is over and the price of 111,000 jin of Origin Liquid has been announced, how could he not understand the reasoning behind it?

The intention was simply to make Zhou Hao, who was later vying for the treasure, lose face because his treasure was of higher value.

"You despicable creature resorts to such dirty tricks. If it were any other time, you would have succeeded. What a pity..." Beishan Baiwei looked at Beishan Hu from afar, anticipating his expression once the treasure hunt began.

"Baiwei, the treasure below is brought out by the Changsheng. With the high-priced treasure of the Beishan Hu preceding us, even if the Immortal Changsheng's treasure is rare, if its value is too far inferior, it would be a great loss of face," Hun Wuqi secretly transmitted his voice.

He wasn't the only one watching; the other guests in the private rooms were also keeping a close eye on the center of the hall.

"If you knew what would be auctioned next, you wouldn't be worried," Beishan Baiwei transmitted with a smile. "The Changsheng True Person has brought out five pieces of Dao Soldier Armor, of such high quality that even Primordial Spirit Daoist can form a combined attack formation."

Five pieces of Dao Soldier Armor that can enable Primordial Spirit Daoist to form a combined attack formation?

Hun Wuqi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? Oh no, I didn't bring much Origin Liquid this time, I have to contact the family right away." Hun Wuqi flipped his hand and took out a Signal Talisman, his divine sense penetrating it to report the matter to the family elders.

Among the many top powers in Antan Commandery, the Hun Clan had the shortest existence. Although they were extremely wealthy, it could not hide their embarrassing situation of having a shallow foundation.

Even if there are two Loose Immortal serving in the family, when it comes to a life-or-death situation and the family is about to be destroyed, who can be more trustworthy than one's own family members?

These Dao Soldier Armor that allow Primordial Spirit Daoist to form a combined attack formation are mostly monopolized by the royal family and the most elite tribes in the Xia Clan Great World. Normally, even if you have money, you can't buy them.

Having encountered this opportunity today, the Hun Clan would certainly not miss it.

"Today's treasure-hunting event at our Sea Hero Hall is truly a great opportunity for all of you guests," said the Zi Yi, her face beaming with excitement. "The next five pieces of Dao Soldier Armor belong to the Immortal of Changsheng. After being appraised by my Carefree Cave, they can not only transform the Myriad Phenomena True Person into Daoist weapons, but even the Primordial Spirit Daoist can form a combined attack array, making them comparable to immortals. They are the finest of the finest."

Five maids at the Myriad Phenomena Realm stood before the platform, donned five snow-white armors, and infused their Origin Power into the armors, instantly illuminating countless runes and dense ice mist.

Originally just ordinary-strength maids, their auras now merged into one, faintly forming a frost giant in the hall. The oppressive aura they exuded even made the prodigies from various forces at the Perfected Realm of the Myriad Phenomena stage in the elegant room change color.

"What? Five pieces of this quality Dao Soldier Armor?"

"Buy it, we must buy it."

"Contact the family immediately."

Seeing that the guests in each private room had clearly seen the Dao Soldier Armor by the maids, Zi Yi announced loudly, "Five sets of Dao Soldier Armor, each with a starting price of 50,000 jin of Origin Liquid, totaling 250,000 jin of Origin Liquid. They will not be sold individually. Now, everyone can compete for these treasures."

Upon hearing this, Beishan Hu's face immediately darkened.

Their set of magical artifacts ultimately sold for 111,000 jin of Origin Liquid, while the armor they offered had a starting price of 250,000 jin of Origin Liquid. How can they even compare?

"I'll offer 300,000 jin of Origin Liquid."

"Three hundred and fifty thousand catties of Origin Liquid."

"Four hundred thousand jin of Origin Liquid."

Bidding voices echoed from each of the private rooms, driving up the price of the five pieces of Dao Soldier Armor.

"Five hundred thousand catties of Origin Liquid." Hun Wuqi's expression was serious as he began to bid.

The hearts of Beishan Baiwei Relief from Calamity, Shan Yu, and the two fairies Xiao Qin all beat faster and faster as the price soared.

Zhou Hao, the main character, seemed not to care much about his Dao Soldier Armor. After the maid brought him the ' Seven Luminaries Star Wheel,' he had been playing with it in his hand. After putting away the seven eight-pointed star wheel-shaped magic treasures, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was cultivating.

In fact, Zhou Hao was communicating telepathically with the spirit of the Immortal Mansion, ' Ou Huang '.

"I've already said it, and now you're telling me the secret runes on this magical artifact can't be cleansed?"

Zhou Hao, who had previously been quite pleased with the Ou Huang, was now speechless.

"Master, this magic weapon was of extremely high quality before it was damaged. Rather than a Qi Refining Path, it seems more like a blood-forged divine weapon of some god or demon, a very rare ranged attack divine weapon. When intact, it might even be more powerful than a celestial-grade magic weapon."

Immortal Mansion, the Ou Huang gazed at the Seven Luminaries Star Wheel before him, his eyes filled with admiration.

"The secret patterns on the surface of these demonic weapons were created naturally as their original owners increased their strength and killed powerful enemies, imprinting their strongest moves into the weapons. They are not Post-Heaven created. To remove them, one must start from scratch and forge them according to the secret method of blood-forging divine weapons."

Blood-forged Divine Weapon?

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat.

"Then I will reforge it into my own Blood Refined Divine Weapon," Zhou Hao said.

The original Ou Huang Mace is no longer sufficient for his current strength.

If we can reforge this ancient divine weapon, we can then inscribe the newly created ' Myriad Dao Yin-Yang Wheel ' secret runes onto it.

"To reforge it, we must first remelt this ancient divine weapon and then use the ' Secret Pattern Transfer Art ' to imprint the original secret patterns. This requires sufficiently strong water and fire, but the five Heavenly Rank treasures left by our old master in the Red Dust —the water-type ' Heavenly One Divine Water ' and the fire-type ' Southern Bright Li Fire' —are not powerful enough."

Even the Ou Huang is helpless.

Both the Heavenly One Divine Water and the Southern Bright Li Fire are already rare treasures of the first-grade Heavenly Water and Heavenly Fire level.

If even water and fire of this level can't harm the Seven Luminaries Star Wheel, then only even stronger true water and fire are needed.

But even ordinary celestial beings can only control very, very little of true water and true fire; where would it find them?

"Is using the Solar True Fire and the Lunar True Water feasible?" Zhou Hao suddenly asked.

"Both of these are top-tier in True Water and True Fire, of course they'll work," the Ou Huang affirmed.

"Alright, I'll be in charge of activating the Solar True Fire and the Lunar True Water in a bit. You can take the opportunity to extract the secret patterns from the Seven Luminaries Star Wheel and re-refine it for me," Zhou Hao said directly.

During the twenty days that his main body was comprehending the Dao and creating the Dharma, his Second Primordial Spirit, the Asura avatar, was not idle either. He was cultivating the <Chiming Nine Heavens Map> on the Chaos Star Fragment Stone Platform in the Red Dust Immortal Mansion.

With a divine soul comparable to Earth Immortal of the Void Return, and the amplification of the star fragments' perception of the stars in the chaos by hundreds of times, he has already reached the twelfth level of the Perfect Realm of All Myriad Phenomena.

He was only a hair's breadth away from the final breakthrough, entering the realm of primordial spirit and becoming a god or demon.

The advancement from the twelfth to the thirteenth level of the <Chiming Nine Heavens Map> represents a significant leap in realm.

Each major breakthrough is aided by the Lunar True Water and Solar True Fire descended from the Lunar Star and the Solar Star, allowing the divine body to undergo another transformation.

Zhou Hao's plan was to use the Lunar True Water and Solar True Fire to reforge the ' Seven Luminaries Star Wheel ' at the moment the Asura God's avatar broke through.

Elegant interior.

Zhou Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

"Baiwei, take me to the prepared villa now."

Then, a seven- or eight-year-old boy appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.

"Relief from Calamity, Shan Yu, this is my spirit beast Ao Xiaobao. After the auction of the Dao Soldier Armor is over, have my spirit beast bring back the Origin Liquid obtained from the sale. Remember, I only want the Origin Liquid, not the Yuan Token."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he pulled Beishan Baiwei away and teleported away.

Only a sleepy little boy remained, staring blankly at the people in the room, completely bewildered.

When do you realize your father is getting old?

It was definitely when I suddenly discovered that he was drinking and couldn't outdrink me.

... Hangover, feeling a bit awful.
