Chapter 236 Enchanting Snake Girl, Hot Auction
Time passed slowly, and the auction house quickly became crowded. The surrounding stands were filled with cultivators, whispering and communicating with each other, their expressions filled with excitement.
For each auction item, the Ming Feng Auction House maintained a mysterious attitude and did not disclose the items in advance. Firstly, because the Ming Feng Auction House itself was controlled by the city lord and did not need to do any publicity. Naturally, a large number of cultivators would gather. Secondly, it was also to arouse everyone's curiosity.
Suddenly, the ground in the center of the auction house cracked open, and a platform rose from it. Three people stood on it, with a seductive female cultivator in the center, her lower body transformed into a snake tail. Her face had strange patterns, shimmering with a faint spiritual light.
Standing beside her were two tall and burly men, emitting a strong Monster Qi. They looked around coldly, protecting the snake woman in the middle.
The black-robed clone scanned with divine sense and discovered that they were two Divine Transformation middle stage monster cultivators who had already transformed.
"This is the manager of the auction house. Originally, it was a red-spotted water python. I heard that it has a special relationship with the city lord and has a Nascent Soul late stage cultivation base." The cat-eared girl named Xiao An introduced.
The black-robed clone smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Does this red-spotted water python have any special relationship with your city lord?"
Xiao An's expression immediately became nervous, shaking her head repeatedly. "I don't know!"
To be able to become the manager of an auction house in a city with only a Nascent Soul stage cultivation base, it was impossible without any background!
Judging from Xiao An's appearance, the black-robed clone seemed to have guessed correctly.
On the stage, the snake woman spoke loudly, "I am Chi Tang, the manager of the Ming Feng Auction House. I welcome all fellow daoists to participate in this auction. Without further ado, the auction will officially begin!"
With a light wave of her right hand, a huge white fang appeared on the platform, as if it had been forcibly pulled out from the mouth of some kind of beast.
The fang was covered with intricate patterns, as if it had formed naturally, exuding a special rhythm, and still faintly emanating a fluctuation of spiritual power.
"This is the ivory of the Rank Four Demonic Beast, the Tidal Giant Elephant. It is extremely hard. Legend has it that the Tidal Giant Elephant possesses the bloodline of an ancient fierce beast. If this ivory is brought back and refined into Magic Treasures, its power will be immeasurable. The starting price is 500,000 Spirit Stones! Each bid must not be less than 100,000 Spirit Stones."
There was a small commotion in the surrounding stands, and many people revealed a covetous look.
"This thing is good. If it is refined into Magic Treasures, its power will be immeasurable!"
"My family happens to have a human weapon refiner, but he is only at Rank Three. It would be a bit difficult for him to refine this Rank Four Magic Treasures. If he fails, it will be troublesome!"
"500,000 Spirit Stones, it's not a small amount... I have to think about it carefully!"
Most of the people in the stands were Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators. This Rank Four refining material was in demand even for Divine Transformation cultivators. After all, not every Divine Transformation cultivator could afford Rank Five Magic Treasures.
Especially for the Monster Race, who were extremely fierce in their competition for resources.
Many Divine Transformation monster cultivators still used Rank Four Magic Treasures.
Soon, shouts and bids rang out from the stands, and tokens were constantly being lit up.
"I bid 600,000 Spirit Stones!"
"You dare to show off with 600,000 Spirit Stones? Get lost! Daddy bids 800,000 Spirit Stones!"
"...1 million Spirit Stones!"
The price of the ivory quickly rose and soon reached 1.5 million.
Xiao An looked at the ivory below the stage with envy and couldn't help but turn his head to glance at the black-robed figure calmly drinking tea. He asked, "You... aren't you going to buy it?"
The black-robed figure calmly replied, "This kind of trash is beneath me."
Xiao An couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Indeed, this person was truly extraordinary. They didn't even care for such precious materials that contained the bloodline of ancient ferocious beasts.
You see, even for those in the Illusory Realm, this kind of material is beneficial. Some powers can extract the power of the bloodline from this material through special supernatural powers to enhance themselves or use it in other ways.
Although it is rare, it is also extremely precious.
In the end, this ivory was purchased by a Divine Transformation stage cultivator for two million Spirit Stones.
With such a high price, the smile on the snake woman's face grew wider. She waved her sleeve again, and another jade box appeared on the stage. When it was opened, a dazzling spiritual light burst forth. "This is the inner core of the Rank Five Demonic Beast, Wind Spirit Fox. I won't say much about its effects, as you all know. The starting price is ten million Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be less than one million Spirit Stones!"
The Monster Core of the Wind Spirit Fox!
Everyone present was shocked.
The Wind Spirit Fox is a rare special wind-type Demonic Beast. Its Monster Core is very beneficial to Monster Race or cultivators who cultivate wind-based cultivation techniques.
Monster Cores are always the most sought-after resources by the Monster Race. Absorbing the demonic energy and spiritual power within can greatly accelerate cultivation speed. However, this kind of absorption has significant side effects because the demonic energy and spiritual power within are not of the same origin. Forcing absorption will only narrow one's future path and may even lead to stagnation.
Therefore, most Monster Race members will refine the Monster Cores into elixirs that are easier to absorb and refine, greatly reducing their side effects.
"I bid twelve million Spirit Stones!"
"I, the Heavenly Sovereign, bid fifteen million Spirit Stones!"
"Daddy bids twenty million! Who dares to compete with me!"
The scene immediately became lively, and even the top-level private rooms began to emit spiritual light.
The black-robed figure's gaze flickered. This Monster Core was also useful to them, as the Broken Spirit Bow refined by the Researching Treasure Pavilion required a Monster Core.
However, this single one was not worth making a move for, especially since the children had already obtained a large number of Monster Cores from the Savage Mountain Range and were now starting to target the Dark Moon Forest. Although Rank Five Monster Cores were precious, they were not lacking.
Soon, this Rank Five Monster Core was sold for thirty-five million Spirit Stones by a private room on the top floor, causing a sigh from the surrounding crowd.
Indeed, this person was truly extraordinary. Thirty-five million Spirit Stones had already surpassed the value of this Rank Five Monster Core itself. It was estimated that it was bought to refine elixirs for the younger generation to use.
Round after round of auction items passed, mostly various raw materials and Monster Cores, which failed to pique the interest of the black-robed figure.
Now, the black-robed figure sat in control of the Eastern Domain and the secluded state of the Central Domain, with countless resources at their disposal. The resources that the Monster Race treasured were nothing in their eyes.
Suddenly, the snake woman, Chi Tang, clapped her hands with a smile, signaling for the crowd to quiet down. She said mysteriously, "Next, our Ming Feng Auction House will present a special auction item that I'm sure everyone will be interested in."
These words aroused everyone's curiosity, causing excitement to appear on their faces.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Chi Tang clapped her hands, and immediately, the ground next to her cracked open again, and a huge iron cage rose from it.
As soon as this iron cage appeared, everyone's eyes lit up, even the black-robed figure straightened their body slightly, squinting their eyes.
