Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

"Let me hear your cheers!!!"

oh oh oh!

hoo hoo hoo!

The spectators in the stands cheered enthusiastically.

"This year's competition has been the most exciting in recent years."

"I've only been here for three years, and this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen."

"The last time something this exciting happened was with Feng Zi, who was known as 'the Madman'."

The man who had only been there for three years asked curiously, "Who is that?"

"That's the young man on stage just now, a member of the Enforcement Hall."

"Is that exciting? That's just bloody!" someone interjected.

"Anyone who was in the same ring as 'The Madman' back then, didn't end up lying down and needing to be rushed to the emergency room?"

"I never imagined that I would join the Enforcement Hall in just a few years."

"I made quite a bit of money off him back then, hehe."

"Back in my day, I was just a hair's breadth away from becoming the winner and standing on the center stage."

"You? Don't brag."

The audience, watching the winner on stage, had already begun to chat.

"I'm sure everyone is very curious about what this year's prize is?"

"In addition to the 10,000 spirit stones and the Xuan-rank cultivation technique awarded by the academy this year—"

The host deliberately dragged out his voice to whet the audience's anticipation.

"And—a top-grade Yellow-rank magic weapon provided by the Eastern Treasure Pavilion."

Wow.

"Truly befitting the wealthy and powerful Dongfang Baoge."

"After all, they are among the best magic treasure pavilions in the empire, and even the entire continent."

"This exclusive sales of magical items gives them real confidence; they just give them away like that!"

"Hey, what we consider precious might just be a drop in the ocean for someone else."

Although a top-grade Yellow-rank magic weapon is still Yellow-rank, it must have one of its abilities that reaches the strength of a Profound-rank magic weapon, making it comparable to a Profound-rank magic weapon.

No wonder the audience was so surprised; the price of a Yellow-rank magic weapon and the user experience of a Profound-rank magic weapon were astonishing to anyone.

It is very user-friendly for cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm and the Origin Opening Realm.

Yellow-grade top-quality magic weapons are extremely rare on the market, and they are usually snapped up as soon as they appear.

The reason the Eastern Treasure Pavilion displayed those top-grade Yellow-rank magic treasures that day was entirely because Li Youan was going; otherwise, they wouldn't have been displayed at all.

This matter would not be discovered by Li Youan for many years.

"All winners can go to our Eastern Treasure Pavilion to exchange for a top-grade Yellow-rank magic weapon."

"Anything that our Oriental Treasure Pavilion has, you are welcome to choose freely."

Before anyone knew it, Pavilion Master Zhou had already stood next to the host.

The atmosphere at the scene was reignited.

After a round of cheers, the audience began to disperse as the host wrapped things up.

However, the spies from each family and the family members promoting their own products in the audience had only just begun to get busy.

Those who previously promoted the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle were just one example; there were also members from various families.

Since we don't have the financial resources of the Dongfang family, we can only rely on the members' sales efforts.

Since their own children were performing exceptionally well on stage, it was the perfect opportunity to promote their products.

"Junior Li Youan, what a coincidence!"

A familiar voice rang out behind him, and Li Youan recalled the two senior students he had met when he first came to this world: Chen Yang and Feng Hui.

"I felt that my junior was extraordinary back then, but I never expected him to have such an amazing performance on the ring today."

Of the two, Feng Hui, who still preferred to communicate with others, spoke first.

"Haha, this is nothing more than showing off my limited skills in front of you senior students."

Li Youan did not overestimate himself, after all, this was his savior.

Although he had already killed the snake demon, he was also seriously injured, and how things would develop afterward was still unknown.

Upon realizing this, Li Youan formally clasped his hands in thanks.

"Li Youan would like to express his gratitude to the two senior students for saving his life."

"There's no need for that. It's simply our duty, and the fact that such a mistake occurred is also our problem."

Chen Yang did not accept Li Youan's thanks directly, but instead offered a few words of explanation.

"Alright, alright, stop thanking me and making such a fuss about who I am."

Feng Hui interrupted Chen Yang and Li Youan's conversation.

"It's fate that we've met today. What are your plans for later, junior? How about we go for a couple of drinks?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Youan sent a message to Brother Qiang using his terminal.

"Brother Qiang, are you busy at noon?"

As Qiang Ge left the stands with the crowd, he felt his wrist device vibrate twice. He opened it and saw a message from Li Youan.

After thinking for a moment, Qiang called Li Youan back, then turned off the terminal and followed the crowd toward the most luxurious building in the front-line base's commercial street.

"I need to go and redeem our spirit stones. Let's get together again tonight."

Qiang Ge thought that Li Youan might have other things to do, but there was no need for him to get involved now. He just needed to maintain his relationship with his little brother.

Li Youan glanced at the message on the terminal and then put it away.

Just as he was about to reply to Feng Hui, he remembered that Dongfang Jinghong was still standing beside him.

"Dongfang, do you have any plans? How about we go together?"

Dongfang Jinghong tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Sure, let's go. Do you need me to make the arrangements?"

Chen Yang wanted to say that he had already made arrangements, but Feng Hui spoke up faster.

"If Miss Dongfang can make the arrangements, then we can benefit from it as well."

Dongfang Jinghong looked at Feng Hui and Chen Yang. Although her words were very polite and appropriate, one could sense a sense of unfamiliarity and distance between them.

This sounded completely different from the tone Dongfang Jinghong used when talking to Li Youan.

But Feng Hui and Chen Yang didn't care; it was already beyond their expectations that Dongfang Jinghong would attend the banquet.

The two even looked at Li Youan with some gratitude, after all, they didn't know Dongfang Jinghong at all.

If Li Youan hadn't mentioned it, Dongfang Jinghong would never have attended the banquet.

They were quite aware of who had come to the banquet for Dongfang Jinghong.

"I didn't expect this junior to have so much influence with Dongfang Jinghong."

Just now, the host announced on the stage that Dongfang Baoge was a special sponsor. Thinking of the name Dongfang Jinghong, anyone who isn't an idiot can understand the relationship between the two.

Moreover, the aura of Dongfang Jinghong on the arena is not something that can be cultivated by ordinary small families.

Polite, respectful, and elegant, yet aloof and distant.

Although I can sense some rejection now, there is not a single problem with their manners.

This rejection stems more from unfamiliarity and distrust.

Dongfang Jinghong tapped twice on the terminal and then spoke to the two of them.

"Please lead the way, seniors. This is our first time here, and we don't know the way."

"The location is Luohuai Hall in Bishuixian Pavilion. We've already made an appointment there, so we can just go there directly."

Feng Hui and Chen Yang exchanged a glance, clearly knowing the location of Bishui Xiange and that they had made an appointment not in the main hall, but in a private room.

Li Youan, who hadn't initially felt that Bishui Xian Pavilion was anything special, realized after seeing Feng Hui and Chen Yang's expressions that this was not a place for ordinary people.

Originally, Li Youan had only asked politely when Dongfang Jinghong was standing beside him.

After all, it would be bad not to ask, but who would have thought that Dongfang Jinghong would actually agree.

Feng Hui and Chen Yang turned around and led the way, with Li Yu'an and Dongfang Jinghong following behind.

The four of them didn't talk much on the way, since they would have plenty of time to chat when they ate later.

Li Yong'an tilted his head towards Dongfang Jinghong, "I hope I won't make you spend money?"

"Haha, no, it's not much. We have a partnership with them, so I'm getting an insider price."

Dongfang Jinghong found Li Youan very amusing at this moment and replied with a smile.

Everyone present was a cultivator. Although Li Youan lowered his voice, Feng Hui and Chen Yang, whose cultivation had reached the True Spirit Realm, still heard him and couldn't help but curl their lips.

"Spending money" and "Dongfang family"—these two words together feel out of place.
