After proving that his Fallen Heart Flame could temper Dou Qi, he left the eager leaders with a different way to gain those benefits: learning about the God of Creation.

• Ya Fei welcomed Lin Ye at the Mitel Auction House and exchanged compliments with him.
• Lin Ye entered the Treasure Appraisal Room with Bi Ji and Little Doctor Immortal, then asked Bi Ji to present Spirit Hall’s wares.

• The appraisers tested the soul bones and were stunned by their ability to improve cultivation speed for Dou Zhe with matching attributes.
• Lin Ye left the auction house with Bi Ji and Little Doctor Immortal, settled into a courtyard, and considered how to approach Xiao Yan at the Xiao Family.

• Lin Ye visited the Mitel Auction House and asked its manager to obtain the medicinal ingredients he needed.
• The manager assured Lin Ye that the auction house would do its utmost to gather the ingredients or find information about them.
