Chapter 451: Clear Wind Compass

~14 min read 2,798 words

The next second, Qiao Sang directly raised her plate:

"5 million."

Yu Ke turned her head in astonishment.

Although 5 million is not particularly much, the girl in front of her was really too young, looking like a minor.

Even if the elders gave the money, for a piece of Dark Ghost Crystal, she added 2.4 million on the first bid. Will she really not be beaten when she gets home?

Auctioneer Tang Shu had a moment of confusion when she saw the person raising the plate.

What the heck?

School uniform?

Professionalism made her hesitate for 0.01 seconds before recovering. Tang Shu smiled: "Number 67, 5 million for the first time."

Everyone glanced at the girl who had just raised the plate without leaving a trace, and tacitly did not raise the price.

Although SS-tier Dark Ghost Crystal is rare, it's not like they wouldn't be able to get it if they spent some time and effort.

Everyone is a person of status, and bidding against a minor junior in full view of everyone seems a bit degrading.

If it were normal times, some people would buy it for collection even if they didn't need it, but today, everyone made no move.

"Number 67, 5 million for the second time!"

Seeing no one bidding, Tang Shu said: "This Dark Ghost Crystal is SS-tier. Both the dark ghost energy contained within and the integrity of the crystal surface are things you can't see on the market normally. If you miss this time, I don't know when you'll encounter it again."

Everyone looked at each other, still no one raised their plate.

No way, no one is competing with me? I can't feel the joy of auctioning at all... Although Qiao Sang complained, she felt relieved and silently ate a pastry that Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost had just brought over.

"Number 67, 5 million for the third time!" Tang Shu dropped the hammer: "Congratulations to Number 67 for a successful bid!"

Bought it! Qiao Sang was excited inside, but very calm on the surface, looking like "I knew it would be like this."

If Yu Ke was astonished before, now she was shocked.

SS-tier Dark Ghost Crystal might not be worth 5 million, but any item above S-tier is too scarce, so its value is hyped up every time it appears. According to the past, this level of Dark Ghost Crystal appearing at an auction is basically sold at a price of around 7 million.

But today, no one bid?

Could it be that the family this guy belongs to is extraordinary, so others give face and don't bid?

Thinking of this, the look Yu Ke gave Qiao Sang suddenly became different.

Soon, a staff member walked over.

Under the guidance of this staff member, Qiao Sang walked into a room.

After each auction item is sold, the buyer must immediately sign the "Auction Confirmation" and pay the price and retrieve the auction item.

"Hello, a total of 5 million." The staff member said respectfully.

Qiao Sang took out her black gold card.

The staff member was stunned.

Just as Qiao Sang went to the room to handle the procedures, in a VIP box above, a man with triangular eyes turned his head and asked the person next to him:

"I remember your grandson has a Nightmare Tapir, why didn't you buy this Dark Ghost Crystal for him?"

The man next to him, who looked only in his thirties, took a sip of tea and said: "At this critical juncture, I don't want to spend millions on a Dark Ghost Crystal."

The man with triangular eyes stopped talking. He knew what the "critical juncture" the other party was referring to meant.

Qiao Sang, who had obtained the Dark Ghost Crystal, was in a pleasant mood. She returned to the auction hall and felt that time had passed quickly.

Unknowingly, the auction came to an end.

Tang Shu on the stage lifted the red cloth on the cart and said loudly: "Next, it will be the finale product of our auction, the Clear Wind Compass!"

I saw a silver compass designed with three rings, all of which could rotate, appearing under the red cloth.

The moment this thing appeared, Qiao Sang vaguely discovered that the breathing of the people present had quickened.

Yu Ke widened her eyes, looking at the item on the field in disbelief.

No wonder everyone's bidding later was so conservative except for the Poison Thorn Earth Dragon egg at the beginning!

It turns out that the Clear Wind Compass actually appeared at this auction!

What is a Clear Wind Compass... Qiao Sang took a bite of a pastry, thinking that this thing wasn't written in the catalog either.

Looking at the girl next to her who was still calm, Yu Ke finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Why don't you have any reaction?"

Qiao Sang looked at her: "What reaction do I need?"

Yu Ke was shocked again: "This is the Clear Wind Compass!"

Qiao Sang just wanted to ask what the Clear Wind Compass was, when Tang Shu on the stage had already begun to introduce it:

"Clear Wind Compass, a compass that can find the Qingqingni. There are only 32 in the world, and this Clear Wind Compass is the one once used by Master Yuan Yazhang."

"As everyone knows, the Qingqingni only exists in Secret Realm No. 16 of the Zhongkong region, and Secret Realm No. 16 only opens once every thirty years."

"There are only two years left until the next opening of Secret Realm No. 16. I believe everyone should be very interested in this compass that can find the Qingqingni."

Hearing the last sentence, everyone thought, "Isn't this nonsense? Who wouldn't be interested in the Clear Wind Compass?"

The auction items of the Mujen Auction are in a confidential state before the auction, but those present are not ordinary people. To attract more high-quality customers, the Mujen Auction will release news about some auction items in advance.

More than 70% of the people present had long received news that the Clear Wind Compass would be auctioned, and most of them came for this.

Tang Shu saw everyone's eager appearance and smiled: "Clear Wind Compass, starting price, 110 million!"

Damn, the starting price is 110 million... Qiao Sang was greatly shocked. Although she didn't know the Clear Wind Compass and the Qingqingni, she knew money!

Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone and searched for "Qingqingni", wanting to see what this thing was.

"..." Yu Ke was completely convinced. She never expected that the girl in front of her could remain calm about the Clear Wind Compass, and she even started playing with her phone!

【Qingqingni, a legendary Fairy-type beginner pet beast in the Zhongkong region, a darling of the wind, but easily affected by the surrounding wind conditions. It is peaceful when there is a breeze, and irritable when there is a strong wind. In short, the stronger the wind, the more irritable it is.】

【Likes to float around on the wind, can pass through even the smallest gaps like the wind.】

【It is said that Beast Tamers who contract it will also be loved by the wind.】

Qiao Sang looked at the content on her phone and instantly understood why the starting price of the Clear Wind Compass was so expensive.

Not to mention anything else, just the word "legendary" is worth this price.

Others must be aiming to contract the Qingqingni.

If there is a chance to contract a legendary pet beast, let alone 100 million, many people would be willing to go bankrupt.

After all, with a legendary pet beast, as long as you want, there are simply too many ways to make money, and the chance to encounter a legendary pet beast is estimated to be only once in a lifetime.

Not to mention that what people in the Zhongkong region like most about land, sea, and air is the sky.

People here sit on pet beasts and fly around from time to time. Contracting a Qingqingni and being loved by the wind will multiply the safety factor when in the sky.

But no matter how good this thing is, it has nothing to do with her. Some things are most afraid of having the money to buy but not the life to use... Qiao Sang put down her phone.

At this time, the price had already been called to 370 million.

"Are you not interested in the Clear Wind Compass?" Yu Ke, who had been rebuffed twice in a row, didn't give up and asked in a low voice.

She hadn't forgotten the purpose of her coming here, which was to socialize!

The girl in front of her looked extraordinary in every way, 100% from some big family. Getting on good terms with her is definitely not wrong!

"Interested." Qiao Sang said.

Yu Ke didn't quite believe it: "Then why don't you have any reaction?"

You were even playing with your phone just now! Of course, she didn't say this out loud.

Qiao Sang said: "Maybe my facial expression control is better."

Yu Ke's mouth twitched slightly, trying to continue the topic: "I don't know who will win the Clear Wind Compass."

Qiao Sang thought for a while and said seriously: "It should be someone with a hard enough background who isn't afraid of being robbed."

Yu Ke was stunned for a moment, crying and laughing: "How could it be robbed? This is the Mujen Auction!"

"What's wrong with the Mujen Auction?" Qiao Sang asked suspiciously.

Yu Ke said in a knowing tone:

"It's your first time attending the Mujen Auction. Your family must have forgotten to tell you that any item at this Mujen Auction will be cursed by the Cursed Night Spirit. Except for the person who auctions the item, anyone else who obtains the auction item through illegal means will be cursed and die an unnatural death."

"What?" Qiao Sang was stunned: "Is there no way to lift the curse?"

Yu Ke smiled:

"Why do you think the Mujen Auction is so famous? The Cursed Night Spirit behind the curse has lived for at least a hundred years, and its proficiency in cursing is definitely at the level of Profound Truth. Unless a pet beast stronger than the Cursed Night Spirit appears and also has a skill like Cleanse to lift the curse, otherwise, those slightly weaker might be backlashed."

"Even if some pet beasts happen to have a skill like Cleanse practiced to the Profound Truth level, they wouldn't dare to try it easily."

"You have to know, this is a Cursed Night Spirit that has lived for over a hundred years. Who dares to guarantee 100% success without being backlashed."

Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds and hypothesized:

"If, I'm saying if, if someone spends money to hire someone else to rob the auction item, and then gets the auction item through the hands, will something happen?"

Why would a minor think so much? She wouldn't be thinking of doing this, would she... Yu Ke paused, silently moved her butt to the side, and said:

"Except for the person who auctions the item, anyone who obtains the auction item through illegal means will be cursed, no matter how many hands it passes through."

Speaking of this, she was a bit worried and emphasized: "It's anyone!"

Heavens! What have I missed... Hearing this, Qiao Sang regretted being too cautious before, not bidding for the pile of treasures auctioned earlier!

"Number 255, 567 million for the second time!" At this moment, the auctioneer's voice entered her ears.

Qiao Sang seemed to suddenly wake up and raised her plate fiercely: "600 million!"

Yu Ke: "!

!"

This childish voice caught the few remaining bidders off guard. Everyone turned their heads suddenly, and then saw the minor wearing a school uniform.

Everyone: "???"

Everyone present was stunned, including Tang Shu on the stage.

"Whose child is this? Is there no elder to manage her?"

"I haven't seen the school uniform on her. It doesn't seem to be one of the top ten universities in the Imperial Capital."

"This shout shouldn't count, right."

For a time, everyone started to stir.

Before Tang Shu could control the scene, a voice came from a VIP box: "610 million."

"620 million." Qiao Sang followed closely.

"Is there anyone to manage this? Should we verify the funds first? Otherwise, if the price is shouted casually, and then the parents are called over to pay, what if the parents don't recognize it?" Someone in the lobby said dissatisfiedly.

Tang Shu was silent for a moment, just wanting to speak.

At this time, the staff's voice appeared in the headset: "The auction continues. The child is holding a black gold card from the Federal Ding Shi Bank."

Tang Shu: "!

!"

"Number 67, 620 million, once!" Tang Shu said loudly.

This... Everyone was silent. Looking at the auctioneer's attitude, could this child really afford this money?

"Number 67, 620 million, twice!"

"630 million." The voice from the original VIP box spoke again.

"700 million." Qiao Sang raised her plate.

"710 million."

"800 million."

"Number 67, 800 million, once!" Tang Shu's face was excited to the point of turning red.

The VIP box fell silent.

"Number 67, 800 million, twice!"

"810 million." The voice inside the VIP box spoke again.

Qiao Sang raised her plate without hesitation: "900 million."

Everyone's mind went blank.

The minimum bid increment for the Mujen Auction is 500,000. How can someone add 90 million at once?!

Ah ah ah! How much is the commission for 900 million! Tang Shu's expression was excited, as if she heard her own violent heartbeat.

"Number 67, 900 million, once!"

"Number 67, 900 million, twice!"

"Number 67, 900 million, three times!"

Tang Shu dropped the auction hammer heavily: "Congratulations to Number 67 for winning the finale product of our auction!"

Noisy sounds arose everywhere.

Qiao Sang walked into the room to sign the confirmation and collect the auction item under the guidance of the staff.

Everyone was waiting at the entrance of the building, not leaving.

Everyone had different expressions. They still didn't want to believe that a minor could come up with so much money without the company of elders.

Did I just sit with someone very amazing... I've said so much, it wouldn't be too much to add contact information, right... Which family's direct descendant is she... At the entrance, Yu Ke looked inside from time to time, her expression nervous.

And at this time, Qiao Sang, under Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's space movement, was already sitting on Like Ya Bao's back and flying back to the hotel.

Moting Hotel.

900 million, if this were before I had an unlimited card, I would probably have to consider 90,000 for a long time... Qiao Sang sat on the bed and looked at the Clear Wind Compass for a while, put it aside casually, and then her consciousness entered the Beast Taming Canon.

Ten seconds later, Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to reality. She opened her eyes, carefully opened the box containing the Dark Ghost Crystal, and looked at Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost:

"Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, come here."

"Xun~"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost heard its Beast Tamer's words, put the ant back into the ring, and floated over obediently.

Qiao Sang placed the Dark Ghost Crystal in front of it and said solemnly: "It's time for you to evolve."

"Xun..."

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost was stunned for a moment, looked at the Dark Ghost Crystal, looked at its Beast Tamer, looked at the Dark Ghost Crystal, looked at its Beast Tamer again, and then instantly became tearful.

"Xun-xun!"

The next second, Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost threw itself into Qiao Sang's arms.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Sang was confused.

"Xun-xun!"

"Xun-xun!"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost cried and called out twice.

It just realized that the thing bought tonight was for its evolution!

I'm so useless, I actually need items to evolve! Like Like Ya Bao big brother and Lubao, they don't need them!

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang explained: "There are many pet beasts that need items to evolve. Using items to evolve doesn't mean they are useless. Many pet beasts that evolve using items are more powerful than those that evolve naturally."

"Xun-xun?"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost raised its head and sniffed.

Really?

Qiao Sang smiled: "Of course."

"Xun-xun!"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's eyes instantly became fiery.

It was finally going to return to the second position!

Qiao Sang: "..."

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost reached its claw toward the Dark Ghost Crystal in the box.

The moment Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost touched the Dark Ghost Crystal, the room was filled with bright white light. ===== CHAPTER 452 =====
