• Ma Liang arrived in Bone Heart City and ordered the Four Seasons Immortal Pavilion to begin its Venerable-realm auction immediately, saying the Bone Mountain Supreme had commanded it.
• The pavilion began the auction seven years ahead of schedule, drawing only a few hundred attendees and leaving its steward worried about the losses.
• At the auction, the pavilion offered three Mahayana spell slaves together, explaining that their shared sect, clan, and compatible methods let them fight at Mahayana perfection.
• The pavilion showed footage of three Mahayana-perfection avatars struggling to capture the trio, convincing the attendees of their strength.
• Bidding surged to 250 billion, and Ma Liang realized buying the three for Lu Li would cost far more than he had planned.

In Bone Mountain’s scripture repository, Lu Li began transmitting its vast collection of cultivation texts and secrets to Great Xia, where the staff started recording them.

The group began teleporting back to Twin Star Ferry, where Lu Li’s return to the Eastern Wasteland awaited.

• Lu Li sensed a timid gaze from the land below and turned his Divine Sense toward a slender figure wreathed in purple lightning.

Lu Li discovered that A Lei had grown from a Qi Refinement sea beast into a Golden Core Perfection demon with lightning resembling the Thunder Ancestor’s inheritance, but worried that he lacked the resources to nurture him.
