Story context

The Treasure-Gathering Assembly is in full swing, and Ji Ning is getting his first taste of how the big spenders of Anchan City operate. What starts as a casual observation of bidding wars quickly turns personal when Beishan Baiwei puts Ji Ning's simplified Blackflame Dragon Prison Formation up for auction. The bidding escalates into a tense showdown, culminating in a surprise 360-tael bid from a legendary figure: the Ferocious Fire Child, a reincarnated Immortal and child prodigy of formations. Ji Ning walks away with a fat stack of Primordial Liquid tokens and a front-row seat to the furious vendetta between Beishan Baiwei and Beishan Hu.

Why it matters

This chapter is a masterclass in Xianxia economics. If you've ever wondered how an interstellar-level cultivation society manages currency and trade, this is your answer. The Treasure-Gathering Assembly isn't just about loot—it's a social battlefield where wealth and face are measured in taels of Primordial Liquid. Pay attention to the contrast between Beishan Baiwei's humble request (owning the formation for a year) and the explosive payoff. Also, the Ferocious Fire Child's entrance is a reminder that in this world, age and appearance mean absolutely nothing. If a toddler outbids you, you don't laugh—you get nervous.
