Chapter 52: Chapter Fifty-One: Million Escape Rat King

Just when Meng Su was feeling uneasy, the auction began.

A middle-aged host appeared on the auction stage. The host's voice was like a bell, and his eyebrows were clear.

"Fellow Daoists, today is the one-hundredth auction of our Nine Cauldrons Pavilion this year. There are ten collections in this auction, and each one is a boutique. I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically. Below, please look at the first auction item: Five Elements Earth."

After the host finished speaking, a small platform slowly rose from under the auction stage, and a piece of dry soil was placed on the platform.

"This is divine earth containing the earth origin of the Five Elements Earth Demon Sect. Whether it is used to plant medicinal herbs or to comprehend earth-element power, it is very helpful. It is rumored that this is the earth stained with the origin blood left behind when the Sect Master of the Earth Element Sect fought with cultivators from the Immortal Realm. The starting price is ten thousand Gathering Spirit Pills, and each increase is one thousand."

Meng Su: "Damn, ten thousand Gathering Spirit Pills. What's the difference between this and robbery?"

Meng Su watched the strange soil, opened his divine sense, and actually discovered the origin of earth-element power in the soil. This was what Meng Su needed, but it was not what Meng Su must have. To obtain the origin of earth-element power, Meng Su could directly find Shasha. Although there were struggles within the Five Elements Sect, they were a common enemy to the Demon Capital.

The most important problem was that Meng Su couldn't afford to bid.

As if feeling Meng Su's embarrassment, the maid on the side smiled and said to Meng Su: "Please bid with confidence, Master. My master has already prepared one million Gathering Spirit Pills for you in advance. My master also said that if it's not enough, you can add more."

Meng Su asked strangely: "Is your master doing charity? Are there many Gathering Spirit Pills? Is every VIP private room given one million Gathering Spirit Pills?"

The maid covered her mouth and smiled: "Master is joking. This is the privilege of VIP Room No. 1. Master is my master's VIP. Usually, this VIP Room No. 1 is not arranged for cultivators. This VIP room has not been opened for three years. This time it was specially opened for Master. Other private rooms do not have this treatment."

Meng Su racked his brains but couldn't figure out who this master was. Meng Su knew very few people in the Demon Realm. Except for Yanzhi, they were cultivators from the Wood Demon Sect and Fire Demon Sect. He basically didn't know anyone else.

At this time, someone had already started bidding. People below raised their signs frequently, and in a short while, this strange piece of soil was raised to the price of fifty thousand Gathering Spirit Pills.

"Crazy, crazy, isn't it just a piece of soil? It's actually so valuable. If I had known, I would have loaded a basket from that desert to auction."

"Fifty thousand once, fifty thousand twice, fifty thousand three times, sold." As the wooden hammer in the host's hand fell, this Five Elements Earth was bought by some buyer.

"The second collection is relatively special. This is a treasure that the Pavilion Master of our Nine Cauldrons Pavilion just obtained last night. It is a pill, but this medicine is relatively strange. Please look..."

The exhibit platform slowly rose again. Meng Su took one look and cursed again: "Fuck." This was the True Demon Pill that Meng Su gave to the Demon Hunter as a deposit yesterday.

The host began to introduce the pill: "This medicine is a True Demon Pill. Everyone also knows that since our Demon Venerable took charge of the Demon Realm, the problem of Void Demons transforming into True Demons has been delayed and cannot be solved. Later, Medicine King Shi Buli took action and refined some True Demon Pills, but the medicinal effect of those True Demon Pills was not enough, and they could not one hundred percent transform Void Demons into True Demons. Even if they could transform, it would take a long time. And this pill is completely different from the pills refined by the Medicine King. Its refining method and the principle of the finished medicine are all refreshing. The transformation rate of Void Demons to True Demons of this pill reaches one hundred percent. And it takes effect in one hour."

Meng Su muttered in his heart: "Can really brag, I didn't even know my medicine was so powerful."

The host continued to flatter: "Refining traces remain on this medicine, and it still has research value. If the pharmacology is thoroughly understood, it can be mass-produced. I don't need to tell you what this means for your sect, and even for the entire Demon Realm. The starting price of the divine pill: ten thousand Gathering Spirit Pills."

"Profiteer." Meng Su slandered.

Also cursing these two words was Gongzi Jiao in another private room.

Because this pill exceeded its own value too much, there were not many people raising signs, and only a few alchemists were interested in it. Finally, it was bought by someone for twenty thousand Gathering Spirit Pills.

The next auction item was a spirit sword. The wonder of this sword was that there was actually a complete array in the sword, and this array could cooperate with the user to display sword intent. This cultivation system of arrays was not what the Demon Realm was good at, so this sword did not come from the Demon Realm and should have been left in the Demon Realm after the Immortal Demon War ten thousand years ago.

Once this sword came out, it caused a small climax in the auction. The Nine Cauldrons Pavilion should have released the news long ago, and many people came for this spirit sword.

Meng Su mainly cultivated thought power and had already condensed Demon Intent. Meng Su didn't look down on this quality of spirit sword, and compared to his Universe Needle, it was like heaven and earth.

The starting price of this spirit sword was one hundred thousand Gathering Spirit Pills, and it was quickly bid to five hundred thousand. One of the private rooms raised signs frequently, which attracted Meng Su's attention.

Meng Su asked the maid with a smile: "May I ask who is in the private room opposite?"

Meng Su pointed to the private room that raised signs frequently.

The maid smiled sweetly: "The identity of the customer in the private room is confidential, but it is not confidential to the customer in VIP Room No. 1. I will go and inquire."

"Trouble you, little sister."

In a while, the maid returned to the private room.

"Reporting to Master, opposite is the Demon Capital's pride, Gongzi Jiao."

"Hehe." Meng Su let out a cold laugh. He asked: "Little sister, are you sure I have the authority of one million Gathering Spirit Pills?"

Maid: "Absolutely true."

"Good: Then I will participate in the auction. One million." This spirit sword was raised from five hundred thousand to one million by Meng Su at once.

Soon, Meng Su's bid appeared in the host's mouth: "VIP No. 1 bids one million. One million once, one million twice, one million..."

After a brief silence in the private room where Gongzi Jiao was, he raised his sign: "One million one hundred thousand."

"One million one hundred thousand once, one million one hundred thousand twice, one million one hundred thousand three times. Sold." Gongzi Jiao was determined to win and finally obtained the spirit sword he liked.

The fourth auction item was an Escape Rat, which was what Meng Su dreamed of. This Escape Rat was golden all over, the size of an adult goat, and had faint space power on its body. This was not an ordinary Escape Rat, but the king of Escape Rats. Escape Rats are gregarious animals, usually with about a hundred in a nest, among which an Escape Rat King leads the entire group, and this was an Escape Rat King.

Because demon beasts were almost useless in the eyes of Demon Cultivators in the Demon Realm, and most of their uses were for martial cultivators in the mortal world, the starting price was not high. The starting price of this Escape Rat King was fifty thousand Gathering Spirit Pills.

Those raising signs to bid were several martial arts families in Li City, among which was the Nangong Family.

However, their enthusiasm for bidding was clearly not high. After all, it was not easy for martial arts families to want Gathering Spirit Pills.

Just when Meng Su shouted eighty thousand and it was basically about to be hammered, Gongzi Jiao opposite realized that Meng Su was determined to win the Escape Rat King and began to raise the price against him.

One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, four hundred thousand. A demon beast with a starting price of fifty thousand was bid to five hundred thousand.

Meng Su didn't hesitate and raised his sign directly: "One million."

Thousands of Demon Cultivators in the field watched the two private rooms raising prices against each other. The Escape Rat King, which was originally only fifty thousand, was bid to one million.

Gongzi Jiao opposite hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and shouted: "One million one hundred thousand."

Meng Su gave up.

Finally, Gongzi Jiao spent one million one hundred thousand to auction an Escape Rat King that he didn't need at all. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
