After leaving the Di Yan Auction House, Mo Yu first returned straight to the inn where he was staying.

He rested in the small room for a while, only exiting his cultivation state and donning a wide black robe when it was close to the auction's start time. He calmly left the inn and made his way back toward the auction venue.

Compared to the morning, the Di Yan Auction was now packed with people, showcasing its high energy and popularity.

Mo Yu's gaze swept around before settling on another pathway beside the main entrance to the auction venue.

The pathway, in contrast to this side, seemed to be a completely different scene, with a red carpet covering the spacious corridor floor.

Dozens of men in black stood coldly around the entrance, exuding an aura of brutality and menace that deterred others from crowding too close.

Evidently, this was a VIP entrance, off-limits to ordinary guests.

As Mo Yu glanced over, he happened to see a group of people stepping onto the red carpet. His gaze drifted over the group before finally stopping on a tall, muscular young man in the center.

This young man, around thirty, stood over two meters tall with a robust, muscular frame, making him look like a human-shaped beast. His rough exterior made him appear older than he likely was.

With a flicker in his silver eyes, Mo Yu noticed faint waves of scorching energy seeping out from the young man's body, indicating his strength to be at the level of a Two-Star Dou Ling.

Among the younger generation, this towering young man was the strongest Mo Yu had encountered since his rebirth.

"Hey, look over there, it seems to be someone from the Barbaric Beast Sect."

"Yeah, those wild, unruly types. That man in the middle, could he be the Sect Leader's son, Gao Ba?"

"Looks like it. I heard the Barbaric Beast Sect has been running rampant in Di Yan City recently, wiping out small sects. Isn't it strange Di Yan Sect, the city's overseer, hasn't stepped in?"

"What's there to step in for? His father's an Eight-Star Dou Wang, possibly even on the verge of breaking through to Dou Huang. Besides, the Barbaric Beast Sect always shows respect to Di Yan Sect, so they just turn a blind eye to it."

Hearing the murmured whispers from the crowd, Mo Yu gained some insight, glancing again at the towering young man with slight curiosity.

This Barbaric Beast Sect hadn't been mentioned in the original story.

However, the Black-Corner Region was vast, filled with countless factions. It wasn't surprising the Barbaric Beast Sect, with its strongest member being only a Dou Wang, wasn't well-known.

After the group from the Barbaric Beast Sect entered the auction venue, several other groups entered in succession, each representing powerful factions in the Black-Corner Region, as per the whispers around.

Naturally, these factions' names were also unfamiliar to Mo Yu.

Shaking his head, Mo Yu reached into his robe sleeve and touched his Beast Ring, pulling out a golden VIP card.

Though he had no powerful backing, the man in the appraisal room had confirmed it was a Tier 2 VIP card.

Eyeing the long line at the ordinary entrance, Mo Yu sighed, then discreetly entered the red-carpeted VIP passage with his card in hand.

The passage was dimly lit, leading him through a corridor that eventually opened up to an opulent, massive auction hall.

"Sir, may I know your seat number?" A lovely maid quickly approached him, asking respectfully.

Mo Yu simply handed her the golden card. Noticing its color, her attitude became even more courteous, and she gently bowed, saying, "Sir, with your Tier 2 VIP card, please follow me."

She led the way ahead while Mo Yu casually followed.

The maid navigated through the vast hall for nearly ten minutes before finally stopping near the crystal auction platform, pointing him to a seat with a smile and a bow before retreating.

Settling into the wide, plush chair, Mo Yu's gaze lifted slightly as he noticed Gao Ba, the Barbaric Beast Sect's young Young Sect Leader, seated in a row not far ahead, casting a curious glance his way.

Raising an eyebrow beneath the shadow of his hood, Mo Yu ignored him, closing his eyes as he waited for the auction to begin.

"Young Sect Leader, is something wrong?" asked a middle-aged bodyguard beside Gao Ba, noticing him looking at Mo Yu.

"Nothing much, just a feeling that the skinny fellow there holds a powerful force within. Judging by his aura, he might be a match for me. If there's a chance, I'd like to face him." Gao Ba's eyes shone with battle intent.

"Perhaps you're mistaken, Young Sect Leader. Although we might not rival the likes of Di Yan Sect, our unique Barbaric Beast Body Art—a high-tier Xuan-class technique—sets us apart in the Black-Corner Region," the bodyguard chuckled.

"Maybe." Gao Ba nodded. Generally, those who practice body-strengthening techniques develop a monstrous physique, resembling beasts, to maximize their power.

Mo Yu's slender frame beneath the black robe didn't seem capable of hiding such explosive power.

Abandoning the thought, Gao Ba glanced at the auction stage with resolve. "I wonder if the rumor is true. If so, Father said we must obtain it at all costs."

He continued, "Although our Barbaric Beast Body Art is strong, it requires magical beast bloodlines to cultivate. The higher the beast's strength, the stronger the beast body we can forge. If we secure this item and offer it to a certain powerful figure, Father may gain the bloodline of a high-ranking magical beast, enabling him to break through to Dou Huang. Then, we'll never have to defer to Di Yan Sect again."

"Rest assured, Young Sect Leader. We've taken significant measures, deliberately provoking smaller sects and pillaging their treasuries, amassing over ten million. Besides, with Di Yan Sect uninterested, even if another faction wins it, they won't make it ten miles from Di Yan City," the bodyguard said with a cold smile.

"Excellent. Today's success or failure will decide if our Barbaric Beast Sect can rise to new heights!" Gao Ba's tiger-like eyes glinted before he closed them, waiting for the auction to commence.

Several nearby factions also exchanged quiet words, each mentioning a mysterious item, apparently the highlight of this auction.

After half an hour, a crisp chime resonated through the hall. Mo Yu opened his eyes, gazing at the radiant crystal stage, where an elderly white-haired auctioneer now stood with a pleasant smile.

"It's finally starting," Mo Yu murmured, a faint glint in his silver eyes.

"Hehe, everyone, you've waited long enough, so I'll spare the formalities," the white-haired auctioneer announced with a smile.

"This year's auction, hosted by Di Yan Sect, will surely not disappoint you. I hereby declare the Di Yan City Auction open!" With his words, the crystal platform erupted in a dazzling light. As it faded, a crimson longsword lay before the elder, its energy radiating a fierce heat.

"This sword, named Blazing Flame, is crafted from red copper and embedded with a Tier-3 fire-elemental magic core. For those practicing fire-based techniques, it will greatly enhance your combat power—a must-have weapon for the road. Bottom bid is 120,000. Let the bidding begin!"

"A magic core weapon, huh..." Mo Yu murmured.

In the Dou Qi Continent, weapons were often crafted using magic cores, enhancing their power but making them overly reliant on magic cores.

Such reliance limited the progression of forging techniques, unlike alchemy. Mo Yu, however, had a forging style unmatched on this continent.

While he mused, the hall buzzed with excitement over the sword, with bids quickly reaching 200,000 gold coins.

Mo Yu raised an eyebrow.

This Blazing Flame Sword was merely a Tier-3 weapon, yet it fetched a considerable sum.

Mo Yu's anticipation grew. He had consigned two Tier-4 weapons, top-tier for their class, enough to catch the attention of experts.

As the first item was sold, the auction moved on, presenting a dazzling array of treasures: armors, Dou Techniques, cultivation methods, herbs, and more.

Mo Yu sat in his plush seat, observing calmly, awaiting an item that would truly capture his interest.

Early on, the high-profile factions in the front rows hadn't yet participated in the bidding.

A clear chime rang out again. Smiling, the white-haired auctioneer received a silver tray from an attendant. Atop the tray lay an eerie longsword radiating both red and blue energy.

The sight stirred the crowd, as quality weapons were exceedingly rare in the Dou Qi Continent.

"Hehe, this sword is named the Ice-Fire Duality Sword, a rare item indeed."

The auctioneer introduced the sword, "The Ice-Fire Duality Sword, forged to slice through iron like butter, seamlessly channels both ice and fire energies. For those with dual affinities, this sword is priceless."

As he spoke, murmurs filled the hall, and even the major factions seemed interested. The potential to enhance a disciple with dual affinities for ice and fire was highly tempting.

"Knowing the value of this sword, I won't say more." The auctioneer waved his hand. "Starting price: 500,000!"
