Jiang Feng returned to Holy City with Jiang Xinran, welcomed Shangguan Yan into the General Grade No. 21 Demon Hunt Squad, and pushed the squad to improve its combat skills in the Eternal Tower. At the end of the first floor, he faced a powerful Blue Skeleton alone and began breaking through her ice attacks with Jiang Hao’s Dragon Flame.

• Jiang Feng visited Yuwen Ao, searched unsuccessfully for Wang Da and Wang Er, and left them Body Tempering Pills before departing Starjoy City with Jiang Xinran.

Jiang Feng and his companions attended the Temple Alliance Grand Auction House’s monthly auction, where he bought a Spirit-Rhyme Snow Lotus for Jiang Xinran and a dark-attribute legendary robe for Feng Li. The auction continued after the squad won the two lots they needed.

• Shangguan Yan led Jiang Feng and the others to the auction and explained that the Spirit-Rhyme Snow Lotus could improve spiritual power and aptitude, especially for ice-element professionals.
• Jiang Feng revealed that he could refine Body Tempering Pills, surprising his companions, then bid one million gold coins to win the Spirit-Rhyme Snow Lotus.

• Jiang Feng bid two million gold coins for the Nightfall Robe, a dark-attribute legendary robe suitable for Feng Li, and won it without competition.

Jiang Feng outbid Long Haochen’s squad to win the rare void silver crystal for Yao Li, while Wang Yuanyuan’s team withdrew after the price climbed beyond their means. The auction continued, and the Thunder Crown appeared as lot twenty-four.

• Shangguan Yan recognized the Thunder Crown and told Jiang Feng that only she could unleash its power, so he began bidding for it.

• Ye Weiyang presented the final lot, a sealed Sword of Glory, and announced that its buyer had to break the seal and pay at least twenty million gold coins.

At the auction, Jiang Feng recognized the sealed Goddess of Light's Aria and urged Murong Xian'er to try breaking its seal rather than claiming it himself. Murong Xian'er revealed her powerful light attribute before the stunned crowd, while Long Haochen and his companions realized Jiang Feng had been their rival bidder and planned to apologize for driving up the price.

• Ye Weiyang displayed the Goddess of Light's Aria and explained its legend and the seal that had defeated even a ninth-order knight.

• Ye Weiyang named the sword the Goddess of Light's Aria, recognized Murong Xian'er as its new owner, and reduced the amount she owed for it to fourteen million gold coins.
• The auction guests crowded around Murong Xian'er with offers, so she hurried back to Booth No. 8 and showed the sword to Jiang Feng.
• Ye Weiyang ended the auction and later brought Jiang Feng's four purchases to Booth No. 8, where she asked Murong Xian'er to call her Sister Weiyang.
