Xiao Zhan bought the first two jars at auction and discovered they contained valuable medicinal pills, drawing attention to his extraordinary luck. With the crowd urging him on, he agreed to buy the final jar as well, though its contents remained unknown.

• With no one bidding on the final jar, Jia Lie Bi and the crowd urged Xiao Zhan to buy it.
• Xiao Zhan returned to buy the third jar.

Gu Ni failed to identify the medicinal pill in the jar but judged it to be at least fourth grade, creating a buying frenzy that Ya Fei quickly ended. She then unveiled the Black Tier High Grade Wind Scroll Technique, and Jia Lie Ao confidently told Jia Lie Bi they could win it for under five hundred thousand gold coins.

Xiao Yan and Ya Fei agreed on a five-tier system for selling Lucky Jars, while Ya Fei suspected his disguise concealed a powerful alchemist. At the Mittel Auction House, Xiao Zhan gave Xiao Yan the Pill Formula he had won at auction to cultivate the alchemist’s favor.

• Xiao Xun'er entered the hall and offered to pay for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid herself.
• The First Elder shifted the dispute to the Xiao Clan's missing four hundred thousand-odd gold coins, and Xiao Zhan said the money had been spent to connect the clan with an important figure.
