Chapter Summaries

Ning Liu was assigned to manage a Grade D Auction House in Suotuo City after his Two Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul left him stuck at Soul Power level twenty-nine. He left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect facing a one-month revenue target of one million gold soul coins or the loss of his Inner Sect Disciple status.

• Ning Feng and Ning Yu received favorable posts at the coming-of-age ceremony, while Ning Liu was ridiculed for remaining at level twenty-nine.
• Ning Fengzhi and the elders appointed Ning Liu Field Master of the sect's Grade D Auction House in Suotuo City, Balak Kingdom.
• Ning Liu thanked the sect, left alone by carriage, and reviewed his appointment and startup capital of ten thousand gold soul coins.
• Ning Liu read the assessment requiring the Auction House to earn one million gold soul coins in its first month or lose his Inner Sect Disciple status.

Ning Liu arrived at the struggling Seven Treasures Auction House in Suotuo City and activated the Auction Return System, which offered a path to improve his prospects. After receiving a major beginner’s reward, he laughed, leaving Li An and the staff wondering if he had lost his mind.

• Li An welcomed Ning Liu as the new Field Master and led him into the worn-down auction house.
• Ning Liu activated the Auction Return System, which explained its auction schedule, sale returns, forced listings, and additional rewards.
• The system granted Ning Liu ten levels of soul power and a Soul Saint Level Guardian.
• Ning Liu realized his assessment mission seemed more achievable and burst into laughter, bewildering Li An and the staff.

Ning Liu ordered Suotuo City's auction house to stage an auction the next night and summoned a Level 75 guardian, Wang Wei. The system selected Xiao Wu's rabbit-ear pajamas as the mandatory finale item, leaving Ning Liu to wonder whether the outrage they caused could produce a valuable return.

• Ning Liu ordered Li An to prepare an auction for the following night, gave him a black card with ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, and told him to find nine items while he arranged the finale.
• Li An eagerly accepted the task and sent Xiao Wang to escort Ning Liu to the Field Master's Building.
• Alone in his darkened room, Ning Liu used the system to summon Wang Wei, a Level 75 Soul Saint guardian who pledged himself to his master.
• Ning Liu confirmed the system's mandatory auction-item selection and received Xiao Wu's pink rabbit-ear pajamas, which had to be auctioned as the tenth item with a starting price of five hundred Gold Soul Coins.
• After worrying about presenting the pajamas as the finale, Ning Liu recalled that intense emotional reactions could increase the return multiplier and began to see a possible use for them.

Li An promoted the Seven Treasures Auction House’s sale to Wu Chen and Liu Shaobing, while Flender brought Shrek Academy’s students to attend. Ning Liu revealed that the mysterious finale item was a pair of pink rabbit-eared pajamas and told Li An to auction them normally.

• Ning Liu identified the pajamas as the finale item and instructed Li An to put them on the auction stage through the normal procedure.

• Li An warned Ning Liu that auctioning a nightgown as the finale could damage the Seven Treasures Auction House and the Ning family, but Ning Liu refused to change his plan.

• Tang San reassured Xiao Wu that he was auctioning the Zhuge Crossbow to buy her the accessories she had admired.
• Li An presented the Zhuge Crossbow and claimed its sixteen poisoned bolts could threaten powerful Soul Masters without consuming Soul Power.

• Bidders rapidly raised their offers after Li An set the starting price at One Thousand Gold Soul Coins.

The Zhuge Crossbow sold for 5,000 Gold Soul Coins, and Ning Liu received a hundredfold return: Tang San’s Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life-Taking Gall, a weapon capable of harming a Titled Douluo at full power. Ning Liu gave it to Wang Wei to safeguard as the auction moved on to its third item.

• Wu Chen urged Liu Shaobing to bid on the Zhuge Crossbow, but Liu Shaobing, short on funds, sent his guard away after giving him instructions.
