Warren's Rise and Fall

After returning to his residence, Wang Lunwo could not wait to start practicing according to the method taught by his predecessors. He calmed down and felt the flow of the five elements in his body. When gold gave birth to water, the coolness seemed like a spring flowing through the mountains; when water gave birth to wood, the vigorous vitality was like spring buds breaking through the soil; when wood gave birth to fire, the fiery power was like a raging fire; when fire gave birth to earth, it was steady and heavy as if the earth carried all things; when earth gave birth to gold, it was tough and sharp as if fine steel was tempered a hundred times. Every time the elements gave birth to each other, it was a wonderful spiritual journey, which gave him a deeper understanding of the true meaning of practice.

Time flies, and a few days pass by like a white horse. Wang Lunwo is immersed in the world of cultivation, forgetting the noise and disturbance of the outside world. In his world, there are only the constantly flowing five elements and the persistent pursuit of improving the realm of cultivation.

Until one day, Wang Lunwo felt as if a powerful force was about to burst out from his body. He knew that the moment of breakthrough was coming. However, the development of things was beyond his expectations. The surging power did not pour out as he imagined, but turned to converge into his body. Wang Lunwo was startled, but soon calmed down and tried to figure out the direction of this power.

Finally, this force slowly condensed into a black particle the size of a watermelon seed, which was suspended in his body. Wang Lunwo was full of doubts. What on earth was this watermelon seed-sized particle? He felt it carefully. Although he didn't know its origin, he could clearly feel the huge energy contained in it. This made him feel a little relieved, because he could extract energy from this watermelon seed at any time as long as he needed it.

After this strange change, Wang Lunwo clearly felt that his blood and qi were flowing through the body to places that he could not feel before. He guessed that he had entered the ultimate realm of blood refining. But this was just his guess, because there was no one around to refer to, and he had no master to tell him the exact answer. After all, his most trusted Changsun Mingzhi himself did not break through the ultimate realm of blood refining, but directly entered the bone forging realm.

Wang Lunwo fell into deep thought. He didn't know whether his situation was good or bad. Was it because of his extraordinary talent that he had such a unique breakthrough? Or was there an unknown danger hidden in it?

At this time, Changsun Mingzhi just pushed the door open and walked in. "My dear brother, you have finally finished your training. I have been waiting for you elsewhere for several days."

Wang Lunwo was surprised, "Brother Changsun, how long have I been practicing?"

"Not much, just seven days."

"7 days?" Wang Lunwo couldn't help but be amazed.

"That's right." Changsun Mingzhi replied with a smile.

Wang Lunwo came back to his senses and asked, "Is there anything important here that I missed?"

Zhang Sun Mingzhi thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing important, but there is an auction in two days, which is held by the branch of Miaoyu Chamber of Commerce here. Do you want to participate then?"

Wang Lunwo's eyes flashed with excitement, "Yes, of course I have to go. I just won 2 low-grade spirit stones. I can see what I can buy."

Zhang Sun Mingzhi nodded, "Okay, then we will attend on time in two days."

Wang Lunwo began to look forward to the auction, imagining what kind of rare treasures would appear. Zhang Sun Mingzhi discussed with him the items that might appear and how to bid reasonably at the auction.

Two days passed in a flash. When they arrived at the auction site, they saw a magnificent building standing in front of them. People were coming and going at the door, and it was very lively. When they walked into the hall, it was magnificent and the gorgeous lights illuminated every corner. The guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes and talked in groups of three or five.

The stage of the auction was decorated solemnly and mysteriously, with red curtains fluttering slightly. Rows of comfortable chairs were neatly arranged under the stage, and all seats were occupied. The air was filled with a light fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Wang Lunwo and Zhangsun Mingzhi found their seats and sat down, feeling both excited and nervous, wondering what kind of surprises and gains this auction would bring them.

They knew that in this world of cultivation full of opportunities and challenges, every auction could be a chance to change their fate. And this time, they also hoped to find treasures at the auction that would be of great help to their cultivation.

While waiting for the auction to start, Wang Lunwo kept looking around, trying to guess some clues from the expressions and behaviors of other guests. Changsun Mingzhi seemed relatively calm, closing his eyes to rest and adjust his state.

Finally, the auctioneer walked onto the stage and the scene instantly became quiet.

“Dear guests,

Hello everyone! Welcome to this grand auction held by Miaoyu Chamber of Commerce.

At this special moment, we gather together to witness a feast full of surprises and opportunities. Countless rare treasures are gathered here, each carrying unique value and stories.

We uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness to provide everyone with an excellent trading platform. Whether you are pursuing powerful magic weapons, searching for lost secrets, or longing to own a unique work of art, I believe you will be able to find what you want in today's auction.

Now, let us start this exciting auction journey together!"

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was two items, which were said to be one item. They were the axe and shield provided by Master Yelu. These two items exuded a unique and mysterious light, as if telling of their former glory.

Back then, when Master Yelu was in the physical training stage, this axe and shield were his right-hand men who helped him survive in countless battles. At that time, in every fierce battle, every life-and-death contest, these two treasures fought side by side with Master Yelu, never leaving him. They witnessed Master Yelu's sweat and blood, and also witnessed his step-by-step progress towards becoming stronger.

Now, Master Yelu has broken through to the Qi realm, and his cultivation realm and fighting style have made a qualitative leap. Although these two treasures that once accompanied him through difficult years are still precious, they are no longer suitable for his current needs. Therefore, Master Yelu decided to auction them, hoping to find a new owner for them and continue to play their value.

It is worth mentioning that both items are of gold attribute. As we all know, in the world of cultivation, the compatibility of attributes plays a vital role in the performance and power enhancement of the skills. For those practitioners who practice gold-attributed skills, if they can get this axe and shield, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. They can not only provide powerful attack and defense in battle, but also resonate with the practitioner's own skills, thereby releasing more powerful power.

The starting price was 1000 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid could not be less than 50 low-grade spirit stones. As soon as the auctioneer's passionate voice fell, the bidding sounded one after another.

"1200 low-grade spirit stones." A burly man was the first to shout out the price. His eyes were fiery, as if he had already seen himself holding a mountain axe and looking majestic on the battlefield.

"1300 low-grade spirit stones." An old man in green clothes immediately made the bid. He looked calm, but his eyes revealed his determination to win.

While everyone was bidding fiercely, Wang Lunwo also knew that this combination of axe and shield had the attribute of gold, and he must not miss this opportunity. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "1500 low-grade spirit stones." Wang Lunwo has been looking for a magic weapon that suits him. When he saw these two gold-attributed treasures, a strong desire surged in his heart. He knew that this might be where he could improve his strength.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly pushed to a climax. Everyone turned to look at Wang Lunwo, some with envy, while others showed jealousy and resentment.

"1600 low-grade spirit stones." Another voice sounded, this time it was that of a mysterious woman. She was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen, but from her eyes one could feel her obsession with the two treasures.

The price continued to rise, but the bidders did not back down, all of them firmly believed that they were the real owners of these two treasures.

"2000 low-grade spirit stones." Wang Lunwo gritted his teeth and raised the price again. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes became more determined.

At this time, the scene fell into a brief silence. 2000 low-grade spirit stones is not a small number. For most practitioners, this is already a considerable fortune.

Just when everyone thought that Wang Lunwo was about to successfully obtain the two treasures, a low voice was heard: "2500 low-grade spirit stones." Everyone was shocked and looked for the source of the voice. They saw a man in a black robe sitting in the corner. Their face could not be seen clearly, but the aura he exuded made people shudder.

Wang Lunwo's face became solemn. He hesitated for a moment and said, "3000 low-grade spirit stones." He knew that this kind of weapon with attributes should be hard to come by. Didn't the auctioneer say that only those who are destined to have it will get it? If he hadn't been to Blue Star, he wouldn't know the exact meaning of "only those who are destined to have it will get it."

In the end, the combination of the two axes and shields was bought by Wang Lunwo at a high price of 3000 low-grade spirit stones. In this auction, we see not only the circulation of treasures, but also the desire and pursuit of power and opportunity.

Wang Lunwo was also very happy when he won the two items. Zhang Sun Mingzhi beside him also congratulated him, "Congratulations, brother, for winning the treasure."
