Wake up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng pounded on the door loudly, “The innkeeper says there’s a big auction today at the Ju Bao Pavilion—apparently there are plenty of good items, let’s hurry and check it out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fatty, I really just…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia muttered at Wang Teng while rolling out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick wash and brush, they headed straight for the Ju Bao Pavilion; the nearby streets were already packed with noise, the air thick with the scent of spiritual materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s the auction hall ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng pointed to a black building in the distance bearing the sign “Ju Bao Pavilion,” where two martial sect cultivators of the Wu Zong realm stood guard at the entrance, bronze tokens hanging at their waists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were about to present their entry tickets, a cold yet familiar voice came from behind: “Jiang Xia? Wang Teng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia spun around and saw Ye Lingxi dressed in a long black dress, her hair tied into a high ponytail, revealing a pale, slender neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly hadn’t expected to meet them here; a flicker of surprise passed through her cold eyes as she stepped forward quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lingxi! What are Itachi doing here?” Wang Teng blurted out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Just came out of seclusion; heard there was an auction, so I came to see if there were any resources suitable for cultivation. Itachi two are here for the auction too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah!” Wang Teng patted his chest. “Yesterday we scored some great stuff at the black market—today we’re hoping for more luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Itachi’re now eighth on the Heavenly Prodigy List—just one spot behind Old Xia. Totally awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of the Heavenly Prodigy List, Ye Lingxi’s gaze fell on Jiang Xia, curiosity in her eyes. “I heard Itachi reached seventh right after arriving at Tianmen Pass—and even defeated Ye Feng at the Tianji Pavilion’s entrance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia scratched his head, slightly embarrassed. “Just lucky—I had help from Lieutenant Su Muxue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy Ye Feng is just full of himself—don’t let it bother Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi’s tone grew colder, clearly disapproving of her cousin’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he causes Itachi trouble again, just contact me. The Ye family doesn’t need him shaming it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three spoke, a young man in brocade robes hurried over—it was Ye Feng, who had caused trouble at the Tianji Pavilion’s entrance yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Lingxi, his arrogant expression instantly turned timid; he shrank his neck and whispered, “Cousin…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are Itachi doing here?” Ye Lingxi raised an eyebrow, her tone sharp with scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng’s eyes darted away, avoiding Jiang Xia and Wang Teng. “I… I’m here for the auction too. My father sent me to bid on a cultivation treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope so,” Ye Lingxi shot him a cold glance. “Remember, training camp is coming soon—don’t cause trouble for the Ye family, and don’t go near Jiang Xia or his friends—or I won’t spare Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng nodded frantically, forced a weak smile at Jiang Xia and Wang Teng, then vanished into the crowd, terrified of further scolding from Ye Lingxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng watched Ye Feng flee and chuckled. “Lingxi, your cousin is terrified of Itachi! He was a complete coward just now—totally different from yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi sighed helplessly. “He’s been spoiled since childhood—impulsive, lacks real talent, and always stirs up trouble. Don’t take it to heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three walked into the auction hall laughing and chatting. Inside, it was far more luxurious than it appeared from outside: the black marble floor gleamed like a mirror, ornately carved jade pillars lined both sides, and a massive crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the auction stage, a dark red velvet cloth was laid out; a woman in a red qipao stood behind the podium, adjusting her microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience below was already seated, groups of two or three chatting quietly, their qi signatures distinct—clearly from different factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are seats over there!” Wang Teng spotted three empty chairs near the window in the back row where Ye Feng had sat and pulled Jiang Xia and Ye Lingxi over. They had barely sat down when the auction officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female auctioneer picked up the microphone, her voice crisp and pleasant. “Welcome, everyone, to the Ju Bao Pavilion Black Market Auction. I am Lin Wei, your auctioneer today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today’s lots include rare beast blood, ability scrolls, magic treasures, and equipment—all items have been rigorously authenticated and guaranteed authentic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s begin with the first lot…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large screen behind her lit up, revealing a bottle of pale blue liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifth-rank rare beast Ice Wolf blood, rich in ice-element energy, ideal for martial masters seeking breakthrough. Starting bid: two thousand spirit stones. Minimum raise: two hundred spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, bids rose from below; the price climbed swiftly to seven thousand spirit stones, eventually won by a cultivator from Disha Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next few lots were common cultivation resources—decent quality, but failed to interest the trio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next lot is undoubtedly today’s highlight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auctioneer’s voice rose sharply as the curtain behind her slowly drew back, revealing a transparent crystal case holding a single feather, palm-length.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feather was pure white, its edges glowing faintly with an icy blue aura; even from afar, a bone-chilling cold radiated from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This feather comes from the tail of the Catastrophic-level demonic saint, Ice Phoenix—the core source of its pure ice-elemental essence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wei explained in detail, “It can greatly enhance the cultivation of ice-element users and, in moments of crisis, form a heart-protecting barrier capable of withstanding a full-force strike from any cultivator below the Catastrophic level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starting bid: one hundred thousand spirit stones. Minimum raise: ten thousand spirit crystals!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxi’s eyes locked onto the Ice Phoenix feather on the screen, a flicker of longing in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own ability was ice-elemental; though her cultivation had surged rapidly since receiving the Xuanming inheritance, her ability’s purity remained insufficient. This Ice Phoenix heart-feather was undoubtedly an ideal cultivation resource for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to raise her bid when Ye Feng tugged her sleeve, whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cousin, this feather’s starting price is bound to be high—we have similar treasures in the family vault. No need to compete here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up,” Ye Lingxi shot him a cold glance. Ye Feng immediately shrank back, silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price soared past eighty thousand spirit stones. Wang Teng gaped. “This is insane—eighty thousand spirit stones! That’s enough for our Wenda Academy’s entire annual allocation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Lingxi raised her bid: “One hundred thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her clear voice cut through the hall; all eyes turned toward the second-floor private booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many recognized her as the eighth-ranked Heavenly Prodigy, Ye Lingxi. Whispers erupted: “That’s the Ye family’s prodigy—her ice ability is already formidable; if she gets this Phoenix feather, her power will leap another tier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad—we mere cultivators can’t compete with these aristocratic heirs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Lingxi believed victory was hers, a lazy voice drifted down from the third-floor private booth: “One hundred ten thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7f85620890c46f466186c0a7444a56cab89707da23d7eb4736aa741aae24ebf9","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-76","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-74",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
