"Indeed, it’s a fine sword!"

Luo Feng looked at the Qing Xie Sword in the silver-haired old man’s hand, his mind stirred, and he couldn’t help but nod.

Judging from the sword’s aura, the Qing Xie Sword was only slightly inferior to his own Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber. The chilling sword force made people shiver; even among fourth-rank supreme spirit weapons, it should be a standout.

"Hmm, Qing Xie Sword. Wasn’t this the Green Rainbow Swordsman’s sword from ten years ago? How is it in Zhouyan’s hands?"

Seeing the Qing Xie Sword, Elder Qian’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and doubt.

"Green Rainbow Swordsman, is this person famous?" Luo Feng asked.

"This person is a loose cultivator swordsman, ten years ago he was already at the peak of the nine-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm, with his self-created Azure Cloud Swordsmanship, when performed, it’s like a green rainbow emerging, capable of easily splitting a hundred-meter high peak with one slash. Coupled with his chivalrous nature, he had quite a reputation in the rtiad, earning the name Green Rainbow Swordsman."

Elder Qian gazed at the Qing Xie Sword, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and murmured:

"Ten years ago, I met him once in the Red Flame Desert. He was in a hurry, and I heard he had an appointment to duel with a royal expert fifty miles outside Azure Sky City in Falling Goose Valley. Since that meeting, there’s been no news of him in the rtiad, probably met with bad fortune. I just don’t know why his sword ended up in the Heavenly Position Business Line’s hands."

"This Qing Xie Sword is likely not owned by the Heavenly Position Business Line. Unexpectedly, it seems the Crown Prince has already intervened in the Business Alliance Conference."

Yang Wanyi elegantly placed the teacup down, frowning slightly.

Luo Feng nodded, his eyes thoughtful.

"The first treasure from the Heavenly Position Business Line is a fourth-rank supreme spirit weapon."

"Hmm, fourth-rank supreme spirit weapons are rare. I wonder what the next two treasures are."

"Having been the top business alliance for nearly ten years, the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance surely has countless treasures in its collection. The top alliance truly cannot be underestimated, even if things are currently less than ideal, the foundation remains strong."

Seeing that the first treasure from the Heavenly Position Business Line was a fourth-rank supreme spirit weapon, the atmosphere in the Business Alliance Hall immediately boiled over. Clearly, everyone was eager for the final two treasures.

"Senior Diao, announce the next two treasures quickly!"

In the great hall, someone impatiently shouted.

The silver-haired old man smiled lightly without keeping everyone waiting, placing the Qing Xie Sword down and slightly curling his palm, the air twisted, and five brilliantly glowing Spirit Pills were drawn into his hand.

The five pills were red, cyan, black, white, and yellow, with threads of spiritual light transforming on the surface, seeming mysterious. When one’s gaze fell upon them, an inexplicable sense of weight emerged in the heart.

"Five Elements Pills, containing pure Yuan Qi of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, a single Five Elements Pill is of fifth-rank top quality, but taking all five together equates to a sixth-rank entry-level Spirit Pill, able to refine the five viscera, purifying a martial artist’s Yuan Qi. A ninth-tier Meridian Wheel Realm martial artist taking them can directly break through to the Spiritual Rotation Realm; Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists taking these can directly elevate their cultivation by one to two tiers for those below the eighth-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm. Specific effects depend on individual constitution."

After the silver-haired old man’s introduction, a stir erupted in the hall. The attraction for a Meridian Wheel Realm martial artist to breakthrough to the Spiritual Rotation Realm was evident.

Cultivation for Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists becomes increasingly challenging later on. A Spirit Pill with the potential to elevate one’s cultivation level would be irresistibly tempting for many stuck at a bottleneck, much more for those likely to leap two tiers.

"Five Elements Pills are extremely difficult to refine, crafting five with different attributes at once is even harder. I’ve only seen two in my lifetime. Unexpectedly, we could see five complete Five Elements Pills here. The royal family truly deserves their reputation..."

Seeing the second treasure was Five Elements Pills, Elder Qian immediately understood such a treasure could hardly be among the Heavenly Position Business Line’s possessions; it must belong to the Crown Prince, causing him to snort with righteous indignation.

Yang Wanyi smiled faintly, looking at the five luminous Spirit Pills, a gleam flashing in her beautiful eyes, she said with slightly parted lips:

"However, these Five Elements Pills are indeed precious for Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists."

Luo Feng glanced at Yang Wanyi, asking: "Do you want these Five Elements Pills?"

With the potential to elevate one’s cultivation by one to two levels, the allure of Five Elements Pills to Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artists was clear, even Luo Feng was somewhat tempted.

Yet, he still retained Elder Huang’s original Yuan Qi inside him, breaking through to the eighth-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm was only a matter of time, and these Five Elements Pills didn’t hold much allure for him.

"I hope to break through to the late seven-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm as soon as possible."

Yang Wanyi nodded; Yang Dingtian once said that once her cultivation reached the late seven-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm, he would arrange a training session for her.

Although she didn’t know what the training entailed, from her father’s expression, Yang Wanyi speculated it wasn’t a simple exercise, surely offering tremendous benefits for enhancing her strength.

"Then during the auction, just buy them." Luo Feng blurted.

Yang Wanyi gently pursed her lips, her alluring figure lazily resting against the beast hide chair, gazing at the shifting colors of the Five Elements Pills, smiling radiantly:

"It’s not that easy; we’re not the only ones eyeing these Five Elements Pills. At the auction, their value may exceed a million second-grade Yuan Stones; purchasing them at that price may not be worth it."

Elder Qian opened his mouth to speak, but ultimately chose silence, merely sighing inwardly.

This time, the Blood Corpse besieged Dayang City, causing countless casualties. The expenses of consoling the families of the deceased and injured, repairing the city, and awarding martial artists for eradicating the Blood Corpses amounted to a substantial sum of Yuan Stones. Now, the Dayang Commerce Alliance didn’t have many Yuan Stones at its disposal.

Naturally, Luo Feng could see the hint of yearning in Yang Wanyi’s eyes, smiled softly, and refrained from saying more.

A million second-grade Yuan Stones weren’t much for him.

"Next will be the last treasure of this Grand Auction."

Placing the Five Elements Pills down, the silver-haired old man reached out and took up a black dragon-shaped ring from the wooden tray.

"I wonder what the third treasure is. Looking at this ring, it seems extraordinary."

"The Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance has already taken out a Grade Four Supreme Spirit Weapon and a Grade Six Initial Spirit Pill, the Five Elements Pills, which are on par with the Dayang Commerce Alliance. If they take out another treasure not inferior to the Five Elements Pills, it will surely win the top prize of the Treasure Gathering.

"Indeed, this final treasure will decide the ownership of the first place in this Treasure Gathering, which is really anticipated."

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the black dragon-shaped ring, and the atmosphere in the Business Alliance Hall surged to the peak.

Elder Qian frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on the ring in the silver-haired elder’s hand, silently praying that the ring was not some rare treasure.

On the central jade platform, the silver-haired elder held up the ancient and majestic dragon-shaped ring in his right hand.

Under the light, the ring reflected crystalline luster, with a flowing sheen on its surface, quite mysterious.

"Grade Three Storage Ring: Washing Dragon Ring."

As soon as the words ’Grade Three Storage Ring’ were spoken, the entire Business Alliance Hall fell into sudden silence.

Even Grade Two Storage Rings are very rare, let alone a Grade Three Storage Ring.

The space inside a Grade Three Storage Ring is the size of a plaza, over twenty times that of a Grade Two Storage Ring. Having such a storage ring while wandering the martial world greatly enhances convenience; it is a treasure every martial artist dreams of.

After a moment of shock, the people in the hall gradually came back to their senses.

"I didn’t expect it to be a Grade Three Storage Ring. In this way, the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance is undoubtedly the first in the opening Treasure Gathering."

"Yes, as expected from the former number one commerce alliance, their foundation is profound. They can bring out such three treasures."

Looking at the dragon-shaped ring, many people started discussing.

"Grade Three Storage Ring..."

Elder Qian glanced at the dragon-shaped ring, clenching his fist.

In fact, the three treasures of the Dayang Commerce Alliance are not much inferior to those of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, but lost due to the Grade Four Spirit Weapon - one is middle-grade, and the other is supreme-grade.

Sitting beside, Luo Feng gently exhaled. This result did not surprise him; the depth of the royal foundation is unfathomable. Since the Crown Prince intervened in the Business Alliance Conference, it was no surprise for Zhouyan to bring out any treasure.

Yang Wanyi’s expression was calm, she slightly pursed her tempting red lips and smiled at Luo Feng:

"The Grade Three Storage Ring is exactly what you need." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Luo Feng came back to his senses, smiled faintly: "For now, let’s focus on how to secure the position of the first commerce alliance. There can be no mistakes in the next two competitions."

Yang Wanyi nodded.

After a brief uproar, the silver-haired elder put down the Washing Dragon Ring and loudly announced:

"The Grade Three Storage Ring is as valuable as a Grade Six Spirit Pill. The three treasures of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance are slightly superior to the three treasures of the Dayang Commerce Alliance. Everyone, the first place of this Treasure Gathering goes to the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance."

Hearing the words of the silver-haired elder, no one was surprised; once it was known the last treasure of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance was a Grade Three Storage Ring, the outcome of the Treasure Gathering was already decided.

"Congratulations to the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance."

The silver-haired elder nodded toward the direction of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s private box, and added: "Now, take a break for an hour, the next competition is the appraisal conference."

At this moment, a figure emerged from the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s box, none other than Zhouyan.

Having won the first Treasure Gathering, Zhouyan was full of spirit and pride, looking in the direction of where Yang Wanyi was, he laughed loudly:

"Yang Wanyi, your Dayang Commerce Alliance has been scheming for the position of the first commerce alliance, but it seems you are still lacking. If you beg me, I might consider giving you a three-point concession in the next two competitions, so you won’t lose so miserably."

At these words, an eerie silence swept through the Business Alliance Hall; everyone could see Zhouyan’s high and mighty provocation.

In Yang Wanyi’s bright eyes appeared a trace of coldness, just as she was about to speak.

"It’s only just the first round. The position of the first commerce alliance is not yet determined. Head of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, isn’t your joy a bit premature?"

Luo Feng’s calm voice resonated through the hall, opposing Zhouyan’s words.

Yang Wanyi glanced at Luo Feng, slightly pursed her tempting red lips, smiled faintly, and remained silent.

Zhouyan recognized Luo Feng’s voice, and his eyes revealed a trace of venom, he sneered:

"What a joke! The only competition you had a chance of winning, you’ve already lost. In the next two, you have no chance whatsoever. The position of the first commerce alliance belongs to none other than the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance!"

"Even a wise horse can stumble; be careful not to trip over your own words." Luo Feng said, tapping his fingers on the table, his voice still calm.

With veins bulging on his forehead, Zhouyan took a deep breath, full of ridicule:

"I disdain engaging in a war of words with you. The results will be clear after the second competition. By then, I hope you can still say such things. Hahaha..."

Laughing loudly, Zhouyan flicked his sleeve and turned back into the private box.
