• The young man told Ye Lin that the auction would be held at the Million Trading House and that five Primordial Spirit Fruits were available.

• As the price climbed to five hundred and thirty thousand Supreme Immortal Stones, Ye Lin signaled Lin Jiaojiao to bid one million.

Ye Lin secured the first Primordial Spirit Fruit for one million Supreme Immortal Stones and prepared to bid for the two more Wang Tian needed. Lin Jiaojiao realized the commission from the sale could let her buy back her freedom as bidding for the next fruit began.

• Ye Lin's one-million-Supreme-Immortal-Stone bid for the first Primordial Spirit Fruit silenced the auction hall.
• Bidders in Heaven-class Rooms One and Two backed down, and the auctioneer awarded the fruit to the guest in Heaven-class Room Three.

• Lin Jiaojiao calculated that her commission could reach ten thousand Supreme Immortal Stones, enough to redeem her freedom.
• Bidders began competing for the next Primordial Spirit Fruit, with offers rising from three hundred thousand Supreme Immortal Stones.

The bidding for the Primordial Spirit Fruit escalated as several Heaven-class private rooms competed, until Heaven-class Private Room Number Three made a two-million-stone bid. A cloaked young man who had come with one million Supreme Immortal Stones began to doubt whether he could afford the fruit and vowed to rob the wealthy bidders someday.

• A black-clad man bid seven hundred thousand Supreme Immortal Stones for the Primordial Spirit Fruit.
• Heaven-class Private Rooms Number One, Number Five, and Number Two repeatedly raised their bids against one another.

• A cloaked young man who had brought one million Supreme Immortal Stones worried that he could not afford the fruit and cursed the wealthy bidders.

• The old man awarded the first Primordial Spirit Fruit to Heaven-class Private Room No. 3 for two million Supreme Immortal Stones and opened bidding on the next fruit.

• Lin Jiaojiao grew more respectful toward Ye Lin, whose purchase meant she could redeem herself and leave with several of her sisters.
• Heaven-class Private Room No. 5 bid one million eight hundred thousand Supreme Immortal Stones and released a restrained Golden Immortal aura to pressure the other bidders.
