Xiao Ying negotiated with Mulberry Elm City’s merchant factions while preparing the Black Tower Tribe and himself for advancement. After arranging the tribe’s defenses and distributing pills, he entered a rented cultivation abode and settled on preserving the Pangu Bloodline’s potential by keeping his immortal cultivation free of any particular attribute.

• Xiao Ying entered the rented abode with Tisha, sent her to cultivate, and prepared to advance to the true immortal realm.
• Xiao Ying reflected that his immortal path should favor no attribute, so it would not conflict with or suppress his Pangu Bloodline.

Xiao Ying forged the Cosmic Reincarnation Scripture and advanced to the True Immortal realm, then used a True Dao Breaching Pill to break through to the Spirit Witch Realm. His new Heaven-Gifted Divine Ability, Heaven-and-Earth Transformation, caused his body to grow so large that he struck the ceiling of his cultivation chamber.

• Xiao Ying obtained the Heaven-Gifted Divine Ability Heaven-and-Earth Transformation, grew to enormous size, and struck the ceiling of his secret chamber.

Xiao Ying returned to the Black Tower Tribe after advancing to the Spirit Witch Realm and learned about the clan’s recent breakthroughs and defenses. The cost of advancing to the Jade Shaman Realm shocked him, forcing him to reconsider how he could strengthen the tribe.

• Xiao Ying left seclusion with Tisha, who had advanced to the True God Realm, and returned with her guarding him from his shadow.

• Silver Wing reported that the Mulberry Auction had invited the tribe and that several commercial and other powers had visited.
• Silver Wing reported her own breakthrough and the elders’ cultivation gains, then Xiao Ying learned that Horned Dragon Elder and Elder Tianjia had used three and five Heavenly-Path Restriction-Breaking Pills to advance.
• Xiao Ying realized that pill costs made large-scale cultivation prohibitively expensive and questioned whether the witch path was unusually difficult to cultivate.

Xiao Ying learned that the Black Tower Tribe’s slow cultivation was common among its people and urged them to grow strong before hunting at sea. While weighing options for buying an immortal warship, he chose the Death Hunting Guild’s stolen vessel as a target, intending to seize wealth from the notorious group.

• Silver Wing explained that the tribe had used one thousand pills to help 169 clanspeople join the Witch Clan, while Elder Tianjia described the Barbarian Tribe’s slow progress toward higher realms.
• Xiao Ying urged the clanspeople to spend freely on strength because their planned sea hunt had to succeed or the tribe would face destruction.

Xiao Ying opened Ling Jizi’s ancient storage ring and discovered its immense space, vast wealth, and the legacy of the Myriad Artifacts Sect. He began examining the treasures and records that could strengthen the Black Tower Tribe, while deciding to avoid the dangerous obligations tied to Ling Jizi’s final wishes.

• Xiao Ying ended the tribal meeting by ordering the Black Tower Tribe to proceed with buying the immortal vessel and focus on growing stronger.
• Xiao Ying broke the seal on the ring and learned that its former owner, Ling Jizi, had been a Holy Son and chief true disciple sent to investigate Pangu and repair the Myriad Spirits Ancient Vessel.

• Xiao Ying identified more than a dozen remains of innate gods and devils, a Myriad Spirits Ancient Vessel, and one hundred thousand Spirit-Infused Puppets inside the Lingji Cosmos Ring.
• Xiao Ying found millions of immortal crystals and gathered jade slips and tokens, including materials he hoped would teach him the Spirit-Linked Puppet Dao and help him use the ring’s treasures.

Xiao Ying studied the Myriad Artifacts Sect’s Spirit-Linked Puppet Dao and discovered both the potential and enormous costs of restoring the army and vessel he had inherited. After emerging from three days of seclusion, he greeted representatives of the Death Hunting Guild who had been waiting to meet him.

• Xiao Ying learned about the Myriad Spirits Method, spirit-infused puppets, and the tiered system that let owners command large puppet forces.
• Xiao Ying realized that the puppets in the Lingji Cosmos Ring had lost their power and spiritual awareness, so restoring them would require huge supplies of Immortal Crystals and replacement souls.
• Xiao Ying examined the damaged Myriad Spirits Ancient Vessel and resolved to repair it, hoping it would let him travel freely and eventually return to command the Great Huan Celestial Dynasty.
• Xiao Ying emerged from seclusion after another three days and found the Black Tower clanspeople waiting with representatives of the Death Hunting Guild.

• Xiao Ying learned that Zhu Yin was a middle Jade Immortal and senior captain of the Death Hunting Guild, and pressed her to accept seven million immortal crystals for the warship.
• Zhu Yin’s subordinates argued over whether the Black Tower Tribe had hidden support, and Zhu Yin warned them to stay alert before heading into the auction house.

• The auction house maid explained the auction’s duration, VIP room, bidding screens, and transaction formation, and Xiao Ying familiarized himself with the equipment.

At the Mulberry Auction, Xiao Ying encouraged the Black Tower tribespeople to bid on useful lots while keeping within his price limits. He outbid High Priest King Lihuo for innate five-element essence, then let King Lihuo win it at a price the Lifen Tribe might not be able to pay; the chapter ends as Xiao Ying bids six hundred thousand for two mermaid demon souls.

• Xiao Ying told the Black Tower tribespeople to bid on intact souls and anything they wanted, provided the price stayed below half its market value.
• Xiao Ying and High Priest King Lihuo drove the price of innate five-element essence above a million, then Xiao Ying stopped bidding and let King Lihuo win at one million and ten thousand.

Chapter Summary: Mulberry Auction (4)

Key Plot Points and Events

• The auction house reveals Guihai Canglan, the famed Canglan Fairy, as an auction item. Her appearance shocks the entire venue because she is a renowned genius, a member of the powerful Guihai Clan, and the former controller of Skyfeather Commerce.
• The auction house’s records explain that Canglan rose rapidly through the cultivation realms and became a highly successful commander of immortal ships and merchant voyages. After her lineage lost the struggle for the Guihai Clan patriarchal position, she was captured and sold by the clan’s new patriarch.
• Xiao Ying immediately bids six hundred thousand Immortal Crystals, declaring his interest before anyone else can act.
• Shang Wuhen of Sea-Exploration Tower raises the price, attempting to use his faction’s reputation to pressure Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying responds by increasing the bid to two million.
• Shang Wuhen wants to continue competing, but his elder stops him because Sea-Exploration Tower is secretly negotiating with the Black Tower Tribe and has orders not to antagonize Xiao Ying. Shang Wuhen reluctantly withdraws, privately vowing to capture and torture Xiao Ying after he leaves the island.
• Luo Hongshang, the Red-Clad Fairy of Spirit Wisdom Sect, bids next. She is rumored to have either a close friendship or a bitter rivalry with Canglan.
• Xiao Ying continues raising the price, eventually bidding three million. Luo Hongshang openly questions how the supposedly impoverished Black Tower Tribe can afford such bids and accuses Xiao Ying of acting under the orders of a hidden power.
• Xiao Ying rejects her intimidation, arguing that Canglan’s fame exceeds the influence of Spirit Wisdom Sect and challenging Luo to stop the auction if she truly has the power to do so. His confidence silences her and the audience.
• Agunade, a true disciple of the powerful Myriad Beasts Sect, enters the bidding at three and a half million. Xiao Ying raises the bid to four million, followed by Agunade’s four-and-a-half-million offer.
• Xiao Ying finally bids five million Immortal Crystals, announcing that this is his limit. The chapter ends with the auction at a tense standstill, while everyone recognizes that the bidding has become a contest between major powers.

Character Developments

• Xiao Ying displays extreme decisiveness, wealth, and fearlessness. He repeatedly raises the bid without hesitation and refuses to be intimidated by powerful factions. His defiance suggests that he either possesses powerful backing or is deliberately using the auction to make a statement.
• Canglan Fairy remains calm and dignified despite being publicly displayed and sold as merchandise. Her composure emphasizes her extraordinary character and suggests that she is emotionally stronger than the humiliating circumstances surrounding her.
• Shang Wuhen reveals a volatile and arrogant personality, but also enough cunning to obey his father’s strategic orders. Though he withdraws from the auction, he begins plotting revenge against Xiao Ying.
• Luo Hongshang demonstrates concern or at least strong interest in Canglan, but her confrontation with Xiao Ying shows that she is unwilling to act recklessly against forces beyond her sect’s reach.
• Silver Wing provides a practical justification for acquiring Canglan, explaining that her commercial and maritime expertise could be invaluable to the Black Tower Tribe. This helps calm the tribe members, especially Six Tails.
• Six Tails reacts jealously and resentfully to Xiao Ying’s desire to purchase Canglan, though she accepts the strategic explanation only partially.
• Agunade is established as another major power willing to challenge Xiao Ying, though his motives remain unclear.

Significant Themes

• Power and humiliation: Canglan’s auction is likely part of a political scheme by the Guihai Clan’s new leadership to disgrace her and the defeated Skyfeather Lineage.
• Social status and prejudice: The idea of a member of the low-status Barbarian Tribe purchasing a famous fairy causes widespread suspicion and outrage, revealing the rigid hierarchy among the various races and factions.
• Political maneuvering: The auction serves as a battlefield where major powers test one another’s strength, alliances, and hidden backing.
• Dignity amid disgrace: Canglan’s tranquil composure contrasts sharply with the humiliation imposed upon her, reinforcing her nobility and inner strength.
• Strategy versus emotion: Several characters must restrain personal anger for broader political reasons. Shang Wuhen suppresses his pride because of Sea-Exploration Tower’s plans, while Xiao Ying’s boldness risks provoking powerful enemies.
• Talent as a strategic resource: Silver Wing views Canglan not merely as a beautiful captive but as an irreplaceable expert in commerce, navigation, and maritime operations.

Important Character Interactions

• Xiao Ying and Silver Wing: Silver Wing explains why Canglan would be valuable to the Black Tower Tribe, helping the others understand Xiao Ying’s unusually aggressive bidding.
• Xiao Ying and Shang Wuhen: Their bidding contest becomes a direct clash of pride and influence. Xiao Ying’s refusal to yield enrages Shang Wuhen, who later plans revenge.
• Xiao Ying and Luo Hongshang: Luo challenges the legitimacy of Xiao Ying’s bids, but Xiao counters with a confident dismissal of her sect’s ability to interfere.
• Xiao Ying and Agunade: Their escalating bids transform the auction into a contest between high-level factions, with both sides probing the other’s financial limits.
• Six Tails and Xiao Ying: Six Tails reacts with visible jealousy when Xiao Ying bids for Canglan, creating tension within the Black Tower Tribe.
• Canglan and the wider audience: Though she speaks little, Canglan’s silent composure influences the entire venue, making the auction feel less like a sale and more like a struggle over her honor, political value, and future.

Xiao Ying bought Guihai Canglan for five million at the auction, then used the Soul-Control Token to bind her and warned her to obey the Black Tower Tribe. As the auction continued, Xiao Ying withdrew to strengthen his forces by studying the Spirit-Linked Puppet Dao.

• VIP room 132 won the auction for Guihai Canglan with a bid of five million, and Black Tower staff escorted her away to complete the sale.
• Xiao Ying crushed and refined the Supreme Soul-Control Token, then ordered Silver Wing to explain the Black Tower Tribe and its plans to Guihai Canglan.

• Lan Yu and Lan Yan bowed to Xiao Ying as their master, revealing sharply different temperaments.

• Xiao Ying watched the later stages of the Mulberry Auction without bidding, conserving immortal crystals for his puppet army and other needs.
• Guihai Canglan reported that the group had bought tens of thousands of complete true immortal-level souls and hundreds of jade immortal-level souls, along with souls of other ranks.
• Xiao Ying praised Guihai Canglan, told the group to stop making special soul purchases, and offered to distribute remaining immortal crystals according to their contributions.

After the Lifen Tribe failed to secure the million immortal crystals it owed the Mulberry Auction House, High Priest King Lihuo begged Xiao Ying to save his people. Xiao Ying agreed to take in the tribe and left Guihai Canglan to manage its affairs and other preparations while he focused on cultivation.

• Xiao Ying told Guihai Canglan to handle the tribes’ affairs, acquire medicinal pills, pursue the Galan Immortal Warship, and improve relations while he concentrated on cultivation.

Xiao Ying sent Guihai Canglan to buy pills for the Black Tower and Lifen Tribes, then gave Lan Yan and Lan Yu the Myriad Spirits Method so they could control spirit-infused puppets. Their conversation revealed possible ties to Empress Island and the Sea-Connecting Trade Alliance’s lost legacy, while the sisters said they could only give the puppets simple commands.

• Xiao Ying gave Guihai Canglan three million immortal crystals and a Universal VIP Token to purchase pills for the Black Tower and Lifen Tribes.
• Guihai Canglan was astonished by the token, and Xiao Ying told her to use it carefully while keeping his identity and secrets unexplained.
• Xiao Ying returned to the Black Tower quarters and entered seclusion to have Lan Yan and Lan Yu activate spirit-infused puppets using the souls he had purchased.

• Lan Yu nearly revealed that she and Lan Yan came from Empress Island, but Lan Yan stopped her and said the time was not right to explain their circumstances.
• Lan Yan and Lan Yu said they could barely control the spirit-infused puppets and could only make them carry out simple instructions.

Xiao Ying’s Black Tower Tribe completed its purchase arrangements for an earth-grade middle-tier immortal ship and traveled to Bloodstone City to inspect it. At the harbor, Xiao Ying was overwhelmed by the scale of Heavenfall Sea’s commerce as Guihai Canglan explained the Immortal Realm’s island hierarchy and customs.

• Xiao Ying remained in seclusion while Guihai Canglan and the elders handled negotiations with the Sea-Exploration Tower, and the Lifen Tribe formally submitted to the Black Tower Tribe.
• The Sea-Exploration Tower agreed to sell the Galan Immortal Warship for seven and a half million Immortal Crystals and the Black Tower and Lifen Tribes’ territory outside their settlements.
• High Priest Fang and High Priest King Lihuo led the Black Tower Tribe’s party to Bloodstone City, where Shang Wuhen, Zhu Yin, and Luo Wei joined them for the transaction.
