Jin Fei and a group of great demons laughed gleefully as they saw Chen Lan offend Li Zhongdao.

"I thought this person had an unusual status, but it turns out he's a fool, daring to offend Li Zhongdao. No matter his background, he can't be protected!"

"Unless there's a Daoist Venerable behind him, he's doomed."

"You're joking. Li Zhongdao is incredibly powerful. Even if this person has a Daoist Venerable behind him, he might not be protected, and even that Venerable could be slain by Li Zhongdao."

"Forty billion Spirit Stones, I don't believe he can come up with that. I demand the organizers verify his finances!"

Voices of protest erupted, and Xiao Mei's expression turned grim as she spoke coldly: "Whether this gentleman can afford to purchase so many items, we will naturally decide. If any of you cause trouble, don't blame our association for being rude."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Xiao Mei's father was a Daoist Venerable of the Human Race, and Chen Han was also a shareholder, jointly protecting the association. This meant the association was guarded by two Daoist Venerables, and no one dared to provoke them.

Even though Li Zhongdao was so arrogant, he didn't dare to offend the association. That's why the association could thrive across the entire Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm. No demon or human dared to oppress the association's people—they avoided them, unless they were short-sighted bandits.

"If no one bids, then congratulations to the guest in Box Nine for winning this item. Later on, we'll exchange goods and finances. If the forty billion Spirit Stones can't be paid, our association won't let anyone off."

Xiao Mei's words carried a threat, and upon hearing them, Chen Lan smiled faintly: "Go ahead and verify, it's just Spirit Stones. I have plenty."

In the end, no one else bid, and Chen Lan obtained the Thunder Dao Secret Technique.

"Then, this auction ends here. Please, everyone, exit the venue." Xiao Mei bowed and led her people to leave first.

The others didn't linger and also left immediately.

...

Box Nine.

Knock, knock~~

There was a knocking sound, and Xiao Mei's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, please open the door."

"Coming." Chen Lan walked over to open the door, and Xiao Mei swayed her hips as she walked in, accompanied by the cat-eared girl from before.

"Sir, here are the things you've purchased. Please check them, and if everything is fine, we can proceed with payment, and you can take them away." Xiao Mei produced a delicate Storage Ring and handed it to Chen Lan.

Chen Lan took it, looked inside, and after verifying it, smiled faintly: "There's nothing amiss. Everything I wanted is inside."

Chen Lan took out a Storage Ring and tossed it to Xiao Mei: "Inside this are forty billion Spirit Stones, you can check it."

With some trepidation, Xiao Mei accepted the Storage Ring. Did this man not regard money as money, just tossing it over like that?

She looked inside and discovered piles of giant mountains of Spirit Stones. After checking them, she was greatly shocked. It was indeed forty billion Spirit Stones, genuine and not fake.

This inevitably made her curious about the man's identity. To seem so young and yet able to produce so many Spirit Stones—could his background be an ancient great family?

"Stop speculating about my identity. Can your association let me rest for a day?" Chen Lan asked.

"Are you afraid someone outside might rob you? Our association doesn't offer protection services, but if your price is high enough, we might consider it." Xiao Mei smiled slyly, thinking Chen Lan was scared.

"No need, I just want to comprehend the Thunder Dao Secret Technique right here. One day is enough." Chen Lan shook his head.

Would a mere Daoist Venerable and some great demons frighten him?

He wasn't so intimidated that he wouldn't dare go out; he just wanted to quickly comprehend the Thunder Dao Secret Technique and see what mysteries it held.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei hesitated, as the association had no such regulation. As she was about to refuse, her body suddenly shivered, and she nodded silently, smiling:

"Our association has no such rule, but since you spent so many Spirit Stones on our auction items, we can make an exception and let you stay in this box for a day, ensuring you're not disturbed."

"Alright, thank you." Chen Lan nodded.

Xiao Mei then left, instructing the cat-eared girl to guard the door and to call her if anything happened.

After the two left, Chen Lan took out the Thunder Dao Secret Technique, looking at the technique bursting with thunder, roaring and howling. He sensed boundless terrifying Thunder Dao Power, the Divine Techniques within it must be extremely frightening.

Once he fully comprehended it, he could turn the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm upside down.

Thinking of this, Chen Lan sat cross-legged on the spot, set up a Time Domain, and began to comprehend the Thunder Technique.

While a day passed outside, he felt as if years went by, a year was enough!

...

Outside.

Outside the association, dozens of people and great demons stood in the sky, completely surrounding the association, all waiting for Chen Lan.

"Why hasn't that kid come out yet? Could it be he's afraid?" Jin Fei spoke coldly. They were all stationed here to ambush Chen Lan and seize the Supreme Treasure and Secret Technique he carried.

Half an hour had passed, yet Chen Lan still hadn't appeared. Could it be that he had mastered the Great Divine Technique of Shrinking Earth into Inches and had already left this place?

"No, I've arranged people inside the association. That kid seems to have gained the association's favor. They've even made an exception for him, letting him stay in there for a day." Sea Dragon spoke coldly. This kind of exception was unprecedented, allowing that kid to escape this calamity. Does the association want to protect him?

"Damn it, does the association intend to wage war with all of us by protecting that kid?" The red-haired young man spoke coldly.

At this moment, a stunning silhouette slowly emerged, coming to the sky, looking at everyone, slightly bending her waist, showcasing a perfect figure, and said with a gentle smile: "Everyone, this person is our honored guest, so he will stay with us for a day. Please don't make things difficult for us. After tomorrow, he will leave, and you can do as you wish."

Hearing Xiao Mei's words, everyone merely snorted coldly without saying much more. Clearly, they had accepted it.

Seeing this, Xiao Mei left and returned to the association, entering a box where Wei Qing and Chen Han were. She slightly bent her waist: "Vice President."

"Hmm, are you here to ask why I made an exception for that young man?" Chen Han spoke without turning her head.

"Yes." Xiao Mei was indeed very curious.

The association had never made such a decision. Why make such a choice for a complete stranger?

"Because I feel that this young man is extraordinary, he might change our Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm. I've never misjudged anyone." Chen Han spoke calmly. Her sixth sense was strong; this young man might be a variable.

Wei Qing and Xiao Mei were slightly taken aback, saying nothing more, but turned to look at Chen Lan, who sat cross-legged in Box Nine.

Could he really change the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm?

...

The next day.

The crowd outside the association had not left. They were impatient, ready to storm the association and eliminate Chen Lan.

But suddenly, a figure appeared in the center, standing with hands behind his back, robe fluttering in the wind, gazing coldly down at everyone.

"You've been waiting for me for a long time, haven't you? Since you're eager to die, let's start the fight."
