On the voyage back from Sea God Island, Ning Liu used a Spirit Gathering Yuan Returning Array to help everyone cultivate. Ning Rongrong broke through to level sixty and passed the Nine-Colored Goddess's First Trial, receiving divine rewards.

• Ning Fengzhi worried about what awaited them on the continent, and Ning Liu reassured him before revealing the Spirit Gathering Yuan Returning Array.
• Ning Liu activated the array over the Vast Sea Town Sky Shuttle, and the group began cultivating amid its purified energy.
• Ning Rongrong's cultivation reached a critical point, and she broke through to level sixty.
• The Nine-Colored Goddess's divine light appeared and declared Ning Rongrong's First Trial passed, granting her increased Soul Ring ages, one level of Soul Power, and a God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

Ning Rongrong completed the Nine-Colored Goddess’s first trial, gained a fifty-thousand-year sixth Soul Ring, and learned that her second trial required healing one thousand severely injured people. Meanwhile, Flender absorbed life energy and Soul Power from captive soul beasts and advanced to level eighty.

• The Nine-Colored Divine Light increased the ages of Ning Rongrong’s existing Soul Rings, and she absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring that became her sixth ring at fifty thousand years.

Flender used Tang San’s method of draining soul beasts to reach Soul Douluo and obtain his eighth Soul Ring, while Yu Xiaogang revealed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had also gained a Titled Douluo and was nearing further breakthroughs. The chapter ended with Flender urging Yu Xiaogang to visit Liu Erlong so the three of them could strengthen their Golden Sacred Dragon fusion skill.

Flender and Dai Mubai each obtained a Soul Bone after absorbing Soul Rings from Soul Beasts tortured by Tang San’s black Blue Silver Grass. Yu Xiaogang explained that the beasts’ extreme suffering and resentment could account for the unusually high Soul Bone drop rate, then called Tang San to inspect another Soul Bone.

• Flender found a Shadow Leopard right arm bone and, after Yu Xiaogang said it did not suit Tang San, absorbed it himself.
• Dai Mubai reached level sixty, killed a fifteen-thousand-year Vajra Demon Ape, and absorbed its Soul Ring to reach level sixty-one.

• Yu Xiaogang called Tang San out to examine a Soul Bone that might suit him.

• Tang San emerged at level 63, judged the fifteen-thousand-year Soul Bone too weak for his ambitions, and gave it to Dai Mubai because it suited his White Tiger Martial Soul.

• Ning Rongrong hurriedly fixed her clothes as Li An entered and greeted her and Ning Liu.
• Li An told Ning Liu that something very strange had happened and that he needed to report it in person.

Li An told Ning Liu that a guest had brought twenty mostly low-age Soul Bones to Glazed Heaven for auction, and Ning Rongrong eagerly searched the dossier for one suited to her healing trial. Ning Liu recognized the batch as the product of a deliberate method for mass-producing practical auxiliary Soul Bones and asked where the guest was.

• Li An reported that a guest wanted Glazed Heaven to auction twenty Soul Bones, startling Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong.
• Li An explained that most of the Soul Bones were only one or two thousand years old and came from weakly offensive, auxiliary, defensive, or plant-type Soul Beasts.

• Ning Liu concluded that someone was systematically producing Soul Bones by targeting easy-to-capture Soul Beasts and valuable auxiliary skills.
• Ning Liu asked Li An where the guest was.

• Representatives and experts from powerful factions rushed toward Suotuo City for the auction.

Ning Liu drew the auction items, including a fragment of Tang Chen’s love-letter draft, and resolved to head to the City of Slaughter after the auction.

• Ning Liu asked Xiao Wu to activate her Poseidon’s Trident imprint, summoning the Sea God’s projection.
• Ning Liu reminded the Sea God that his auction house was opening the next day and that he had promised to provide auction items; the Sea God said he was still selecting them.

• Xiao Wu sensed the life energy in the Divine Nectar Dew, while Ning Liu recognized its value.
• The Sea God produced an azure conch and named it the Tidewhisper Conch.

Ning Liu persuaded the Sea God to provide three divine auction items, then proposed holding auctions every three days to spread the god’s reputation. The Sea God handed over the treasures and hurriedly vanished, leaving Xiao Wu astonished by Ning Liu’s audacity.

• The Sea God explained that the three treasures included an item with the Power of Absolute Zero, Essence of Life, and a conch that could reveal the Voice of the Future.
• Ning Liu praised the gifts and proposed holding an auction every three days, with divine objects as the finales, to spread the Sea God’s name and gain him faith.
• The Sea God resisted Ning Liu’s demand for a steady supply of treasures, then handed over the three objects and disappeared in a hasty retreat.
• Xiao Wu told Ning Liu she was amazed by how he had persuaded a god to give him the treasures.

Ning Liu prepared five extraordinary items for the next auction while Xiao Wu asked to return to the Star Dou Great Forest, and he arranged for her to travel there with two Titled Douluo. After Xiao Wu departed with the dragon egg, Ning Liu gave the auction items to Li An, who was stunned to discover that three of them were divine treasures.

• Ning Liu showed Xiao Wu the five planned auction items, including a fragment of the King of Slaughter's draft and a Fifty Thousand Year Boiling Blood Dragon Lizard's reverse scale.
• Xiao Wu asked to visit the Star Dou Great Forest, and Ning Liu agreed to send Luo Li and Shi Han with her for protection.

• Yu Xiaogang regretted that the four Soul Bones were being sold, while Flender defended the decision to raise funds for cultivation resources.

• The auction price climbed to eleven million Gold Soul Coins before Bibi Dong bid twenty million and won the four Soul Bones.
• Ning Liu received four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones through the Thousandfold Return: a Titan Snow Demon right arm bone, an Electric Light Green Eagle left leg bone, a Void Mirror Beast trunk bone, and an Illusionary Spirit Fox wisdom skull.

Ning Liu received four returned Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones but chose to save them for later, considering one for Shui Bing'er and waiting for a better match for himself. As the auction presented a second set of four support- and defense-focused Soul Bones, Ning Rongrong urged him to buy them for her.

• Ning Rongrong clung to Ning Liu's arm and pleaded with him to buy the set for her.

Ning Liu let Ning Rongrong bid on the support- and defense-oriented Soul Bones, which the auction crowd had undervalued. Her ten-million-Gold-Soul-Coin offer stunned the venue, and no one immediately challenged it.

• Flender lamented that bidders were overlooking the potential value of the support-type Soul Bones, while Yu Xiaogang explained why sects favored combat-focused investments.

• Doudou announced Ning Rongrong’s ten-million-Gold-Soul-Coin bid for the Thousand Year Soul Bone Set and sold it to her.
• Oscar recognized Ning Rongrong’s voice and felt bitter and helpless, knowing he could never match her wealth.
• Ning Liu’s Thousandfold Return triggered, placing four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones in his system storage space.
• Ning Rongrong urged Ning Liu to let her collect the auctioned Soul Bones, but he pulled her back and said they were not worthy of her.
