"Besides the various major domains, the inner ring area is also divided into four regions: east, west, south, and north."

"In the eastern region’s inner ring, the Spirit Sword Sect’s three main sects are arguably one of the strongest forces. No faction is willing to offend them when these three sects unite."

Pang Guang explained meaningfully, "Moreover, as you know, these three main sects are on good terms with the Zhou Family and Qin Family of the Six Great Clans in the eastern region. When these five powers join forces, even the Domain Lord’s Mansion has to show some respect."

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, "Since they are causing trouble and Grandpa Jin takes such good care of me, I really have to get involved in this!"

Looking up at Jin Wenhao, Jiang Chen said softly, "If Brother Wenhao and the others don’t mind, after leaving the Abandoned Plains, I can refine some elixirs for the Gold-devouring Rat Clan."

"What?"

"Brother Jiang, are you also an alchemist?!"

The three of them, including Jin Liang, looked at Jiang Chen with surprise and delight.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, "Yes, I can’t guarantee the high grades, but I can refine elixirs below the sixth grade!"

"Sixth grade..."

"That’s fantastic!"

"No wonder the Great Elder recommended you to participate in the grand event! You are truly the lucky star of our Gold-devouring Rat Clan!"

The three shouted loudly, even the dispirited Jin Wushu showed a smile.

"Grand event?"

Jiang Chen looked at Jin Wenhao in surprise.

"Didn’t the Great Elder tell you? Didn’t he want you to come to our clan when you reach the peak of the Divine Infant Realm?"

Jin Wenhao’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"Oh, Grandpa Jin told me, but he only said that there might be a chance to obtain a high-grade spirit fire when I go, without mentioning the specifics."

Jiang Chen nodded, looking inquiringly at Jin Wenhao.

"High-grade spirit fire? Could it be..."

Jin Wenhao and the other two were shocked, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

Jiang Chen looked at the three, somewhat bewildered.

"We haven’t heard the Great Elder mention this, but maybe he has other arrangements. Since he hasn’t told you explicitly, let’s wait for him to explain. What you mentioned seems to be different from what we understand!"

Jin Wenhao hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"Alright then!"

Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

With a turn of his eyes, Jiang Chen brushed his hand over the space ring, and a dozen jade vials appeared in his hand. He handed them to Jin Wenhao, "Brother Wenhao, these are some fourth and fifth-grade elixirs. I need to keep some for use in these Abandoned Plains, so I can only spare these. Please take them and use them!"

"This, this..."

Jin Wenhao was startled, giving Jiang Chen a deep glance.

"Brother Jiang, the most exciting time in the Abandoned Plains is coming soon. These elixirs are really timely."

Jin Wenhao reached out to take the elixirs, his eyes showing gratitude, "No need for formal thanks for such a great favor. The Great Elder said if we meet you again, I, Akai, and the Third Elder should follow you. I’ll first send the elixirs to our clansmen and can return tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to several Semi-Saint relics recorded within our clan!"

"Great! Thank you!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded gently.

The information given by Jin Tianlin recorded the Semi-Saint relics, but firstly they hadn’t reached the Central Region yet, and secondly, they hadn’t met up with the Gold-devouring Rat Clan. If they went to explore relics alone, it might be somewhat inappropriate.

Now that Jin Wenhao mentioned it proactively, Jiang Chen gladly accepted it. Originally, even if Jin Wenhao hadn’t suggested it, he would have.

After the discussion, Jin Wenhao supported Jin Wushu as they bid farewell to Jiang Chen. Upon learning that Jiang Chen would attend the auction that night, they agreed to meet at the auction.

...

At the auction house venue.

The auction venue was on the first and second floors of the auction house.

The two floors were open between them, with the first floor being the main hall, and the second floor consisted of private rooms.

Currently, the main hall on the first floor was packed with people, with shadows of people everywhere, and the private rooms on the second floor were also completely full, just waiting for the auction to begin.

Pang Guang stood in a corner under the auction stage, looking at the sea of people, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.

Brother Jiang, thank you!

He silently thought to himself, stepping onto the auction stage.

Seeing Pang Guang, the noisy auction house instantly quieted down, with all eyes intently fixed on him.

"Welcome, everyone, to the auction. I am today’s auctioneer, Pang Guang from the Canghai Trade Alliance!"

Pang Guang introduced himself loudly, then shouted, "Without further delay, the auction now begins!"

The crowd in the venue was instantly invigorated. Over the past five days of promotion, everyone had already learned what would be presented at this auction, and each one watched Pang Guang on the auction stage intently with anticipation.

"First item, a Treasure Weapon level Divine Weapon, starting bid is one million Inferior Spirit Stones, or one hundred Thunder Path Necro Spheres. If the price is equal, Thunder Path Necro Spheres are prioritized! Each bid increase must be no less than ten thousand Inferior Spirit Stones, or no less than ten Necro Spheres. The bidding starts!"

Pang Guang took out a Treasure Weapon level Divine Weapon and said loudly.

"One million Inferior Spirit Stones!"

"One hundred and ten Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

"One million five hundred thousand Inferior Spirit Stones..."

Deafening bidding voices immediately erupted in the auction house, even some strong figures who were previously skeptical about the auction item started to look forward to it. The first item was a Divine Weapon, and even a Treasure Weapon level Divine Weapon, which is a highly sought-after weapon for Integration Path strong figures!

Although Jiang Chen wasn’t very interested in Divine Weapons because he had the Ancestral Dragon Sword from Yuan Star and the Spirit Treasure Divine Weapon he snatched from Qi Shan, to the forces within the inner ring of the Changlang Continent, although a Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon was not extremely rare, it was still enough to make strong figures from the early to late Integration Path stages envious.

"That Divine Weapon..."

In Room 5 on the second floor, a one-armed old man’s face was livid, looking at the Treasure Weapon Divine Weapon on the auction stage, his eyes showing a hint of coldness.

"Elder Qi, what’s the matter?"

The green-robed old man beside the one-armed old man asked in puzzlement.

At this time, three old men and three young men and women were sitting in the private room. Besides the one-armed old man, there was a green-robed and a white-robed old man.

If Jiang Chen were here, he would definitely recognize that the one-armed old man was Qi Shan, with the three young men and women being a young Spirit Sword Sect disciple by Qi Shan’s side, Chen Rui, and the obstinate Liu Yunxia!

"That Divine Weapon is mine!"

Qi Shan said in a gloomy voice, "That little bastard Jiang Chen must be here!"

The other two old men froze, exchanged a glance, and the green-robed old man whispered, "Chen Rui, go find someone from the Canghai Trade Alliance and say that our Yuanling Sect wishes to meet the owner of this Treasure Weapon Divine Weapon. Ask them to make the introduction."

"Yes!"

Chen Rui answered respectfully, got up, and left the private room.
