Chapter 641: Ancestral Golden Dragon Bloodline (Third Update, for

In the lobby of the Starry Sky Auction House, two mysterious people wearing cloaks took their seats in the second-to-last row.

The mysterious person sitting on the left seemed a bit nervous, using Mental Power to transmit a voice message to the mysterious person on the right: "Is this really reliable?"

The mysterious person on the right said with certainty: "Times are different now, don't worry. I already have a foolproof plan. Taking a step back, even if they recognize us, with our public identities, it is impossible for them to besiege us in public, not to mention that we are, after all, Pseudo-Kings."

That's right, these two people were none other than the Third Prince Dou Yuanbin and the newly appointed Clan Leader of the Langya Liu Clan, Liu Xuguang.

Their purpose in coming here was not to cause trouble, but mainly for that top-grade Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake.

After Liu Zongtang fell, Liu Xuguang took over the position of Clan Leader with an absolute advantage.

A few days ago, Dou Yuanbin lost his Demon King-level Azure Wind-Born Beast, which caused his strength to be greatly damaged, and he was desperate to replenish his strength. Upon learning that a top-grade Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake was about to be auctioned here, his heart was full of desire.

As for Liu Xuguang, he was completely a "strong laborer" dragged over by Dou Yuanbin. Dou Yuanbin's memory of Ning Bizhen's ruthlessness was still fresh; at that time, he had clearly revealed his identity as the Third Prince, but not only was Ning Bizhen not afraid, she instead wanted to kill him on the spot.

Such a woman, one cannot afford to provoke her!

For the sake of safety, and to have an extra "wallet," Dou Yuanbin called Liu Xuguang over.

According to Dou Yuanbin's understanding, as long as they revealed their identities, he believed that other giants of the Yuanling Academy, except for Ning Bizhen, would definitely not act rashly.

If it were only Ning Bizhen, with his and Liu Xuguang's strength, they could completely succeed and retreat. Moreover, for the sake of safety, Dou Yuanbin had also prepared a way out.

Before bidding for the Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake, Dou Yuanbin and Liu Xuguang would naturally not expose their identities; after all, this was Li Changsheng's Starry Sky Auction House.

The two not only changed their appearances but also tried their best to restrain their auras, giving people the feeling that they were two Fifth-tier Beastmasters.

"Then I can rest easy!"

Although he said that, Liu Xuguang was still full of vigilance; even though he was the Clan Leader of the Langya Liu Clan, on the surface, it was still not as safe as the identity of a Prince.

Clang~

The two arrived just in time; not long after they entered, the sound of a bell began to echo.

Even though the Starry Sky Auction House had undergone its third expansion, the lobby was still packed with people. There was no helping it, the advertisement for the top-grade Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake was too attractive.

Even if they did not have the ability to bid for the top-grade Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake, many Beastmasters would still eagerly come to show their support, wanting to witness such a grand event.

As the bell rang, the originally noisy lobby quickly quieted down.

The auction stage was radiant, and the glowing auctioneer stood in the center holding a wooden mallet. However, the most eye-catching thing was not the auctioneer, but a rabbit gnawing on a Purple Jade Radish.

This was a rabbit that looked as if it were carved from jade, with large, azure-blue eyes. It looked soft, cute, and adorable, yet it exuded a heart-palpitating aura.

This was Ning Bizhen's Cold Jade Rabbit, which had been lured over by Li Changsheng with half a box of Purple Jade Radishes, willingly acting as security personnel to deter the petty and wicked.

In Li Changsheng's backyard, a small patch of Purple Jade Radishes was specially planted to supply the Cold Jade Rabbit.

Even though Purple Jade Radishes are difficult to survive, there was a Tree of Life in the backyard, and with Xiaoguai's careful care, there was absolutely no possibility of them not being able to be raised.

Thus, following the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, the Three-Legged Fire Crow, the Xun Wind Delivery Cat, and the Seven-Eyed Marten, yet another of Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets had its body and mind successfully captured by Li Changsheng.

With the Demon King-level Cold Jade Rabbit sitting in charge, even if someone had thoughts of causing trouble, they had to extinguish such ideas.

"Welcome everyone to the Starry Sky Auction House. I won't say much nonsense, lest you get annoyed listening to it. Alright, I announce that the Winter Auction has officially begun!"

After finishing, the auctioneer struck the wooden mallet hard and shouted with full vigor: "Now, please welcome the first auction item!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a beautiful woman in palace attire walked onto the stage with elegant steps and gently placed the tray in her hand on the auction stage.

The auctioneer uncovered the red cloth on top, revealing a small and exquisite Jade Bottle.

"The first auction item—Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill. This is a high-level Alchemical Pill that can assist in breaking through to the Leader level. Although there is only one, it is rare and precious. Its value goes without saying!"

Wow~

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the scene immediately became noisy again. They had never expected that the first item would be such a precious auction item.

At the same time, a large number of buyers began to rub their hands and roll up their sleeves. Among them, the Fourth-rank Demon Tamers were the most fanatical, because the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill could potentially shorten their path to advancing to the Fifth Rank, especially for those Fourth-rank Demon Tamers who were only one step away from the Fifth Rank.

"The base price is five thousand Soul Crystals, and each increment must not be less than one hundred. I announce the bidding has begun!"

The auctioneer struck the wooden mallet hard, and under the influence of the sound-amplifying prop, the sound of the mallet hitting the table quickly spread throughout the venue.

Following the auctioneer's words, many buyers began to take action.

"Five thousand five hundred!"

"Seven thousand Soul Crystals!"

"Eight thousand Soul Crystals!"

"Ten thousand Soul Crystals!"

In the span of a few breaths, the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill was bid up to ten thousand Soul Crystals, and it was still rising at a very fast speed.

The auctioneer watched this scene with indifference. Since becoming an auctioneer at the Starry Sky Auction House, a similar scene appeared almost every month.

Another two minutes passed, and the rising speed of the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill began to slow down, but it still easily exceeded fifteen thousand Soul Crystals.

Although most buyers had to give up bidding due to empty pockets, the price of the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill continued to climb steadily; clearly, such a price had not yet reached its limit.

In the Yuanling Academy, one Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill could only be exchanged for five thousand Academic Credits, and one Academic Credit was almost equivalent to two Low-grade Soul Crystals. However, do not forget the Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit, especially since this was an auction house with a fanatical atmosphere.

"Twenty thousand Soul Crystals, is there any higher price? If you have this Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill, you may quickly become a noble Fifth Rank Stronger. Once this village is passed, there will be no such shop!"

In order to sell at a higher price, the auctioneer had to "kindly" remind the buyers.

"Twenty-one thousand Soul Crystals!"

Suddenly, the price on the screen jumped, and the originally stationary number once again had the momentum to climb.

"Twenty-three thousand Soul Crystals for the first time... twenty-three thousand Soul Crystals for the third time, sold! Congratulations to buyer number 5566 for successfully bidding on the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill. Please go to the backstage to complete the transaction now!"

Under fierce competition, the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill was finally sold for twenty-three thousand Soul Crystals, which was undoubtedly a very high price.

This also corresponded to the relationship that things are valued for their scarcity; otherwise, if there were multiple or a whole bottle of Wanxiang Guiyuan Pills, the unit price could not have reached this level.

Therefore, Li Changsheng decided to release only one Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill at each auction to maximize profits.

Because of the first auction item, the atmosphere at the scene was quickly heated up.

"Now, please welcome the second auction item!"

The second auction item was a High Quality Fairy, and thanks to the fanatical atmosphere, it also sold for a very high price.

As a Winter Auction, the auction items naturally far exceeded those of the small, specific monthly auctions.

In this auction alone, there were over two hundred High Quality Fairies, and unlike before, Li Zhangsheng only accounted for less than half.

Ever since the reputation of the Starry Sky Auction House spread, more and more sellers have come to consign their goods.

Time passed slowly; under the fervent atmosphere and the influence of the auctioneer, many buyers were moved and participated enthusiastically, with almost every auction item selling for a high price, and not a single one failing to sell.

After spending over three hours, the grand finale segment finally arrived.

This time, there were a total of seven grand finale auction items.

"First, let us welcome the first grand finale auction item!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell, Li Xinfu arrived on the auction stage, shook the Monster Pet Bag at his waist, and released a massive Demon Pet.

Roar—

This was a flying dragon sixteen or seventeen meters in length, with golden patterns across its body; the moment it rushed out of the Monster Pet Bag, it roared toward the sky, but immediately after, it was as if someone had covered its mouth and nose, and the flying dragon's sound stopped abruptly.

This was because the flying dragon felt an extremely powerful aura, giving it a feeling as heavy as a mountain and as terrifying as a prison.

The flying dragon lay on the ground in fear and trepidation, whimpering in its throat, not daring to act rashly in the slightest, and even abandoned the thought of breaking free from Li Xinfu's temporary brand.

The auctioneer pointed to the Obsidian Screen to the side and shouted: "The first auction item—flying dragon, its data is right on the big screen!"

The Obsidian Screen flickered once, and the data regarding the flying dragon instantly appeared.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Flying Dragon (Mature Stage, Intermediate Exotic Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Leader 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Species】: Medium Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Ancestral Golden Dragon (Sparse)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Gold

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Fire Element

No one expected that the first grand finale item would be a Superior Quality, Medium Commander species flying dragon.

This flying dragon was already an adult, yet it possessed the realm of a Leader 9th Rank; even for a Fifth-tier Beastmaster, it was an excellent immediate combat force, and coupled with the advantage of being able to be ridden, it would undoubtedly sell for a good price.

"Alright, the starting price for the flying dragon is ten thousand Soul Crystals, with each increment no less than one thousand Soul Crystals; I announce the bidding has begun!"

The auctioneer excitedly struck the wooden gavel, and the buyers began to take action, though the buyers capable of producing so many Soul Crystals were, after all, only a very small minority.

In less than a minute, the bidding price for the flying dragon exceeded twenty thousand Soul Crystals, but the speed of the increase clearly slowed down, with only two or three parties still continuing to bid.

In VIP Room 88, Li Zhangsheng leaned back in his armchair, casually picked up the bidding device, and joined the ranks of the bidders.
