  By his side, his son gritted his teeth and said: "Father, this Ji Ning stepped on me, the Young Master of the Shi family, to become famous. He has ruined the face of our Shi family, he should be killed."

  "Don't worry." Shao Yanxiu looked at her son.

  Just as Shi Yanxiu, Mu Zhenshenren, Xishuang Junzhu and Qingliu Xianzi were all focused on Ji Ning, the number of guests at Duobao Peak was also increasing. These guests had all come to participate in the upcoming 'Treasure Contest'. Among them was a bald old man who walked alone onto a cloud, sat down cross-legged.

  "Ji Ning?" The bald old man glanced at a cloud on another mountain peak in the distance with Ji Ning on it.

  "Kill Ji Ning, then go reincarnate."

  "I'd rather die than kill Ji Ning, or my soul will scatter." The bald old man was actually the 'Floating Cloud Immortal' who had received orders from the Old Ancestor Xuanji previously. Although he had left the Great Xia Kingdom for over ten thousand years, very few people in the Great Xia Kingdom could recognize him. However, Floating Cloud Immortal still changed his appearance and restrained his aura.

  The fairy-like immortal sat there, drinking wine in a very casual manner, but the position he chose was excellent, and with a glance out of the corner of his eye, he could completely notice Ji Ning.

  "The headquarters of Tianbao Mountain, with layers of forbidden arrays and many immortals guarding it. Wanting to kill Ji Ning within Tianbao Mountain... is difficult!" Floating Cloud Immortal pondered, in fact he also wanted to directly go to Ji Ning's location, then swiftly kill him, and afterwards self-destruct and reincarnate. However, he was also clear that..."

  Once he made his move, in almost the blink of an eye, the Tianbao Mountain headquarters formation would be activated and he would have little chance of killing Ji Ning.

  "Wait until he leaves the Tianbao Mountain headquarters, just go out and on the streets outside." Floating Cloud Immortal thought to himself, "There aren't any formation restrictions there, I can make my move directly! As for the Imperial Guard discovering and rushing over, although they'll be quick, it'll still take some time."

  "Let you live a little longer." The Floating Cloud Immortal's heart was surprisingly firm at this moment.

  He has no other distractions.

  There is only one thought - kill Ji Ning'er and then reincarnate!

  Ji Ning carefully examined the intelligence brought by Yu Xuan, which detailed a number of well-known figures in the Great Xia Kingdom's "Wanxiang True Person". Indeed, there were some widely recognized top contenders for this Sanyuan Conference. Such as the Xia royal family's "Xia Mang Zishan", the Cangwu clan's "Cangwu Xun", the Xiangtian clan's "Xiangtian Xiao", the Shaoyan clan's "Shaoyan Xuan", Nanhai Muzhen True Person, Donghai Danzhu True Person...

  These are all creating a great reputation, in the true person's recognized top-notch.

  Like the Black and White Academy's true person, although also recorded in books, it is clearly ranked behind. The true person of the academy can only be considered as the top of Anping County.

  Mù Chuán and Zhēn Rén, Cāng Wū Guì and others are all the best in their respective worlds.

  "I'm actually on it too." Ji Ning flipped through, revealing a smile. "The main achievement is surprisingly still killing Shao Yan Nong and a Yuan Shen-level demon god." If it weren't for killing Shao Yan Nong's master and servant, with Ji Ning's short cultivation time, logically speaking, he shouldn't have appeared on this intelligence report.

  The maid who had been standing behind him suddenly stepped forward.

  Ji Ning turned his head and looked over.

  The maid smiled and said, "Sir, the Treasure Contest is about to begin. I wonder if you can participate? If you do, please pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan liquid. If not, sir will have to leave."

  "Do I still need to pay a deposit to participate in the treasure hunt?" Ji Ning asked in surprise, "And it's even 10,000 yuan?"

  "This is the rule of our Tianbao Mountain headquarters," the maid explained. "Ordinary treasure auctions don't require a deposit, but the monthly treasure auction at the headquarters gathers treasures from all over the Great Xia Dynasty and even other worlds. There are usually some rare and precious items that are hard to come by. To prevent some guests from randomly bidding and then not buying, we need to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan liquid. If someone bids and doesn't buy, we will directly take away this 10,000 yuan liquid as punishment."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  "This one million yuan liquid is non-refundable." The maid said, "The winner can buy some treasures at will during the treasure meeting. When paying the bill in the end, just deduct one million yuan liquid."

  "It seems that every guest who participates in the treasure meeting, no matter what, has already paid 10,000 yuan... " Ji Ning's eyes scanned around, "There are over a thousand guests around us, and just the yuan alone would be over tens of millions."

  "The treasures we have prepared are also many," said the maid.

  "Hmm." Ji Ning nodded and took out the yuan plate, handing it over. This was the yuan plate from their previous transaction of treasures.

  The maid took over the yuan card and retreated, standing aside again.

  Only on the top of Mount Duobao, there were maids chatting with guests on every cloud. Some guests had left, but many remained. Even some new guests arrived, apparently to participate in this 'Treasure Contest'.

  "Shaoyan Clan." Ji Ning glanced at Shaoyan Xiushui and the others in the distance, "It seems they've discovered me too. Humph, this time I came to the Great Summer Imperial City, my goal is to let even more people know of me, the more who know me the better."

  Ji Ning's grand show of strength.

  All I want is to be famous!

  Shao Yan's clan had long been investigating him and already knew his whereabouts. However, some tribes that were enemies of the Shao Yan clan, such as their strongest rival 'Kunshui Clan', might still not know he was in Dashan, the capital of Daxia Kingdom. So what he needed to do now was to make a name for himself! Let the many guests at the Treasure Contest spread the news far and wide.

  "When the time comes, all the major powers in Dashawang will know of my existence. If they want to win me over, they'll probably come to win me over." Ji Ning was very clear that he was still struggling to contend with Shaoyan alone. He needed to borrow some external forces!

  So it must be out

  The name is better than the Great Xia Wang Du!

  A moment later.

  Only a huge rainbow-colored auspicious cloud flew up from below, and a black-haired girl stood on it, riding the auspicious cloud directly to the void above the nine treasure peaks.

  "Ladies and gentlemen." The black-haired girl smiled and bowed in all directions, "The monthly Treasure Contest has begun again. This time, I, Yu Kong, will be hosting the contest. Tian Bao Mountain has prepared 1,366 treasures for this occasion, each one extraordinary and unique, with many obtained from secret locations, some even from the heavens and the three realms beyond."

  "Old rules, in addition to the treasures prepared by Tianbao Mountain, all guests present can also join this treasure contest if they have any treasures they want to sell, after verification by Tianbao Mountain. The contest will only charge a fee of 50% and the maximum is 10,000 yuan."

  "Alright, no more nonsense, let's start with the first treasure of this treasure hunt."

  A black-haired long-haired girl waved her hand, and a golden gong-like strange treasure immediately floated in front of her, emitting waves of fluctuations.

  "The War Soul Drum, a heavenly ranked treasure, can be used to harm enemies or make thousands of our Dao soldiers burst out with extraordinary combat power. The base price is 10,000 yuan liquid! Each bid must be at least 1,000 yuan liquid higher." The black-haired girl smiled and said.

  "Eleven thousand catties."

  "Twelve thousand catties."

  At the auction of treasures, powerful figures from all over the place bid one by one and bought treasure after treasure. Those who could afford to pay 10,000 kilograms of yuan liquid as a deposit were not ordinary cultivators. Ordinary Yuan Shen Taoists would not be willing to use 10,000 kilograms of yuan liquid as a deposit.

  Ji Ning sat aside drinking wine and watching leisurely.

  "Master, aren't you going to make a move?" But Xiao Qing was stirred up by this treasure-fighting scene, her blood boiling with excitement.

  "Don't be impatient," said Ji Ning. "The Shao family hasn't even made a move, what's the hurry for me? Moreover, nothing has appeared that makes me extremely eager."

  The treasures that Ji Ning had sold previously were almost all obtained from the Wu Jiang Xian Fu and the Shao Yan Shi, while the truly precious items left behind by the Yu Hua Xian Ren, Ji Ning still kept without hurrying to sell. After being baptized by the treasures of the Shao Yan Shi, Wu Jiang Xian Ren, Yu Hua Xian Ren, and the Water Mansion, Ji Ning's vision had become much higher.

  "The next treasure is a formation diagram! This formation diagram was created by the two heavenly immortals, 'Turtle-Crab Two Sages', as a game. I'm sure you all know that they inherited the legacy of the Three Realms' great powers and are extremely skilled in the way of formations. Although this is just a game for the two heavenly immortals, it's still extraordinary, containing many secrets of formation techniques. The Turtle-Crab Two Sages even said... that if one can fully comprehend this formation diagram, they would be considered a master of formation techniques." The black-haired girl smiled and said, "The starting price for this formation diagram is 500,000 yuan liquid. Please bid, everyone."

  "Guiling and Xian?" Instantly, there were discussions everywhere.

  Ji Ning and Bai Shuizhen's eyes also lit up at the same time.

  Bai Shuizhe is a master of the Array Formation, and Ji Ning also has some understanding of it. Of course, he knows about the 'Turtle-Crab Two Immortals'. These two are legendary existences, both being demonic heavenly immortals... and are almost the highest achievements in the world of array formations in the Great Xia Dynasty. According to legend, they both worship under a powerful being from the Three Realms.

  "It's just a game, but if it were the insights of two heavenly beings, the price would definitely be more than 50,000 yuan." Ji Ning glanced at Bai Shu beside him, who was visibly excited and expectant.

  The first move of the Walking Array Method is naturally eager for the 'formation diagram' of the two immortals, Guiling and Xian.

  "Fifty-one thousand catties."

  "Sixty thousand catties."

  The price of the formation chart skyrocketed, although it is said that the formation method is very difficult and truly exceptional geniuses are rare, there are still many who know they can't become celestial immortals. They just dive in to study the formation method, and some formation masters are also extremely formidable, and some even rely on formations to achieve celestial immortality.

  It's just that the formation method is a bit too abstruse, and it's only one set of formation diagrams, so the price won't be too high.

  "Eighty thousand yuan." Shao Yanxiu finally spoke up, this price was already very high, and the people who came to bid on the treasure were also very rational and wouldn't make reckless moves.

  "Is there anything higher?" The black-haired girl looked around.

  Suddenly——

  Jingning finally spoke up, "Eighty-five thousand yuan!" The price had increased by five thousand yuan in one go, and at this point, it was considered a high price.

  The black-haired girl also looked over and smiled: "Eighty-five thousand catties, is there a higher bid?"

  Wow! Wow! Wow!

  Everyone on all sides of the mountain peaks, and many guests from all sides in the clouds surrounding them naturally also looked over to see who was bidding.

  "Huh? Beast skin boy? White water marsh? Empty green snake?" Ji Ning called out the names, and Xiao Qing transformed back into her empty green snake form.

  "That beast skin boy... Could it be the legendary Jin Ning who killed Shao Yan Nong?"

  "Who is Ji Ning?"

  "The king of the Great Xia, Emperor Shao Yan's successor, Yu Shen Gong 'Shao Yan Nong' was killed in Anping County. Didn't you know about this? The one who killed him is Ji Ning! It's exactly that person who just made a bid! Look at the two spiritual beasts beside him, his attire and appearance, it's definitely him."

  "Kill the young farmer?"

  "Really?"

  "The one who just called out the price is Shao Yan's 'Shao Yan Xiushui', and this Ji Ning is competing with Shao Yan Xiushui for treasure!"

  Many guests at Duobao Peak noticed Ji Ning and suddenly burst into a flurry of discussion.

  Shao Yanxiu's face suddenly turned ugly, while Shao Yanjun's face was bright red, gritting his teeth and eyes blazing with fury, shouting loudly: "Nine million kilograms of yuan liquid!"
