• Lin Ye took a VIP seat at the auction and spotted Su Qian and Elder Qing among the attendees.

At the Black Emperor Sect auction, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix corpse was offered in exchange for treasures rather than gold, and the bidding began with medicinal pills, Dou Techniques, and a special technique from Magic Flame Valley. The auctioneer had not yet accepted an offer when Magic Flame Valley revealed the Flame Manipulation Art’s potential to combine energy flames.

• The white-haired auctioneer unveiled a preserved Magic Beast corpse and identified it as a creature that had nearly reached Rank 8, while Lin Ye wondered how it had died in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

• A red-haired elder from Magic Flame Valley offered an Earth Rank Middle Grade Dou Technique called the Flame Manipulation Art and explained that practitioners could combine their energy flames, potentially producing a flame comparable to a Heavenly Flame.

Lin Ye bid medicinal pills for the Peak Rank 7 Heavenly Demon Phoenix Corpse, but Mo Tianxing rejected his offers as insufficient. The corpse remained unsold as Mo Tianxing pressed Lin Ye for a higher price.

Lin Ye traded Soul Bones to Mo Tianxing for the unknown Peak Rank 7 Heavenly Demon Phoenix corpse. Mo Tianxing then revealed the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva as the Black Emperor Sect auction’s grand finale and invited guests to offer items for it.

• Lin Ye challenged Mo Tianxing’s high asking price for the magical beast corpse, pointing out that Mo Tianxing could not guarantee it contained a Magic Core.

Lin Ye offered Mo Tianxing one Breakthrough Sect Pill for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, but Mo Tianxing chose Old Man Eagle Mountain’s Revival Pill instead.

Lin Ye secretly used Thunderbolt Purgatory to draw Old Man Eagle Mountain’s pursuers toward his hiding place, disrupting Mo Tianxing’s attempt to seize the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva for the Black Emperor Sect. The gathered forces surrounded Old Man Eagle Mountain, leaving Mo Tianxing facing a crowd of rivals as Lin Ye waited unseen.

• Lin Ye followed Old Man Eagle Mountain from Black Emperor City, keeping his distance while the elder used a soul avatar to mislead most of his pursuers.
• Lin Ye saw Mo Tianxing and more than a dozen Black Emperor Sect figures approach, then used Thunderbolt Purgatory to draw other pursuers toward the mountain hollow.

• Old Man Eagle Mountain revealed that the Black Emperor Sect had tampered with the auctioned Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, then pointed out that the prize was too scarce for the gathered factions to divide.
• Mo Tianxing proposed clearing the field, and the Black Emperor Sect, Magic Flame Valley, and Elder Qing's allies slaughtered or drove off the weaker trackers.
• Mo Tianxing offered to forgo the saliva and help another faction obtain it, but Old Man Eagle Mountain suspected a trap and threw the jade box before fleeing.
• The three factions pursued Old Man Eagle Mountain, while Lin Ye swooped in, opened the jade box, confirmed it held the genuine saliva, and stored it in his storage ring.
• Mo Tianxing recognized Lin Ye and demanded the saliva, threatening to kill him if he refused.

• Hei Qing explained that the tribe had searched for the vanished Old Dragon Emperor and had not known Zi Yan existed.

Lin Ye traveled with Yao Chen to Holy Pill City to qualify for the Pill Gathering, where he tested as a Rank 7 Alchemist despite having reached Rank 8. His achievement drew interest from Pill Tower elders but did not impress the Tower’s three giants, and he kept his true rank hidden to avoid attracting Soul Hall’s attention.

Lin Ye passed the Pill Gathering’s first round and entered the Pill Realm to gather rare medicinal ingredients for the second round. On his way to the central mountain range, he reunited with Zi Yan and a burly man.

• Lin Ye entered the Pill Realm, checked his list, and headed toward the Endless Mountain Range to find the required ingredients.
• Zi Yan flew toward Lin Ye atop a massive bird-type magical beast, accompanied by a burly man.

• After more than three weeks of refining, only Lin Ye, Song Qing, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Old Man Mu Gu, and Old Freak Qing Hua remained.

At the Pill Gathering’s final contest, Old Man Mu Gu seemed set to win for the Soul Hall after refining a pill with four-colored Pill Lightning. Lin Ye completed his pill and summoned six-colored Pill Lightning, stunning the crowd, but its power still threatened to destroy his result.

Three days later, he entered the Star Domain with the other finalists to find the Three Thousand Burning Flame, while Old Man Mu Gu appeared to be plotting something.
