Five Elements Peacock Tail

Story context

Holy smokes, fellow cultivators! Welcome back to the Multi-Treasure Peak, where the stakes just went thermonuclear. The seemingly humble material, the Five Elements Peacock Tail, has turned into a full-blown war of attrition between Earth Immortals, a rogue cultivator, and our man Ji Ning. But Ji Ning isn't just a wide-eyed little Wanxiang Adept watching the big boys play—he’s here to play for keeps. In a display of sheer financial dominance, he shocks the entire assembly by leaping the bid to an eye-watering five million jin of Primordial Liquid. This isn't just a purchase; it's a declaration. Get ready for a masterclass in Xianxia economics, a critical turning point in Ji Ning's personal power, and the incredibly tense moment when a store sends in the auditors to check if this kid is actually good for the money. Buckle up, Daoists, the auction just caught fire!

Why it matters

This chapter is a masterful slow-burn of economic and psychological warfare. Watch how Ji Ning plays the room. He doesn't just raise the bid; he *shatters* the bidding rhythm. By jumping from 4M to 4.8M and then to a final, decisive 5M, he isn't just outbidding his rivals. He's delivering a tactical blow to their morale, demonstrating that his resources (or his connnection to the Black-White College) are bottomless compared to theirs. The tension with the Heavenly Treasures Mountain representative is a classic "poor kid at the big boy's table" moment, immediately shut down by Ji Ning’s effortless display of wealth.
