Chapter 642: Ice Spirit Grass (First update, requesting everything)

Unbeknownst to others, Li Zhangsheng had accumulated a large quantity of various Divine Beast Essence Blood in his hands.

Even though Li Zhangsheng put effort into trying to use up this Divine Beast Essence Blood, it continued to pile up more and more in his hands, with some even exceeding a full jar.

Among them, there was more than a jar of Ancestral Golden Dragon Essence Blood.

If he let this flying dragon absorb this Ancestral Golden Dragon Essence Blood, it could evolve into a Golden Dragon, and one with a Concentrated Grade Golden Dragon Bloodline at that.

Most importantly, according to the feedback from Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power, this flying dragon was only a hair's breadth away from reaching Top-tier quality; if it evolved once, it was very likely to become a Top-tier Golden Dragon, which could truly be called the difference between heaven and earth.

Additionally, it could incidentally serve as labor for pulling a carriage, which was also the reason Li Zhangsheng placed a bid.

For the first bid, Li Zhangsheng increased it directly to 30,000 Soul Crystals.

For a moment, the other buyers who were still bidding subconsciously stopped their actions.

"Is there any higher price? This is undoubtedly a quite high-quality flying dragon..."

The auctioneer did not know that his boss was in VIP Room 88, otherwise he would not have encouraged the buyers to continue increasing the price, wanting to auction it off for a higher amount.

Unfortunately, no matter how silver-tongued the auctioneer was, no one continued to raise the price.

"30,000 Soul Crystals for the first time, 30,000 Soul Crystals for the second time, 30,000 Soul Crystals for the third time! Sold. Congratulations to VIP Room 88 for successfully winning the flying dragon; the staff will send it over shortly!"

Under these circumstances, the auctioneer had no choice but to strike the wooden gavel in his hand hard.

Li Xinfu took away the shivering flying dragon and soon knocked on the door of VIP Room 88.

Creak—

The door opened automatically, revealing the scene inside.

As soon as he saw Li Zhangsheng, Li Xinfu was clearly stunned for a moment, then hurriedly greeted Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen respectfully, and directly handed the Monster Pet Bag containing the flying dragon to Li Zhangsheng.

With the flying dragon's Leader-level realm, it could easily break free from Li Xinfu's Temporary Contract; furthermore, the VIP room could not accommodate the flying dragon at all, which saved the two of them some trouble.

Li Zhangsheng gave an instruction: "Except for Li Tong, do not tell anyone that I am here."

"Yes!"

After Li Xinfu took his leave, Li Zhangsheng did not immediately contract the flying dragon and continued to sit on the grand armchair, waiting for the finale items below.

The second finale item was a Bloodline Potion, which eventually sold for nearly 60,000 Soul Crystals; if there were no surprises, the Bloodline Potion and the Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill would also become fixed auction items for the Starry Sky Auction House.

The subsequent three finale items were also rare high-quality goods, but unfortunately, they were of no use to Li Zhangsheng.

"Next, please welcome the sixth finale item!"

The auction continued, and a woman in palace attire once again came to the stage carrying a gold tray, on which sat a Jade Box, making it impossible for people to see what the item was.

However, as the owner of the auction house, Li Zhangsheng knew very well what was inside, especially since this was also one of his targets this time.

The auctioneer opened the Jade Box; it was an ice-crystal-colored plant about a foot long, with five oval leaves, extremely similar to the Wind Spirit Grass and Wood Spirit Grass that Li Zhangsheng had obtained before, with the only difference being the color.

Ice Spirit Grass: Heaven and Earth Essence, containing rich Ice Attribute energy essence. If given to an Ice Attribute Spirit Beast to absorb, there is a certain probability of increasing the quality of that Ice Attribute Spirit Beast, depending on the Spirit Beast's original quality; the higher the quality, the smaller the probability. Note: Do not give it to non-Ice Attribute Spirit Beasts to absorb, otherwise there will be a danger of exploding!

This was also the first time the Starry Sky Auction House had auctioned a treasure that could increase the quality of a Demon Pet.

"This is the Ice Spirit Grass, which can improve the quality of Ice Attribute Demon Pets. There is no need for this old man to elaborate on its value. The starting price is 50,000 Soul Crystals, and each increment must not be less than 1,000 Soul Crystals. The auction begins!"

Although it was only effective for Ice Attribute Demon Pets, many Monster Tamers present possessed Ice Attribute Demon Pets, but because the starting price was too high, only a few buyers in the VIP rooms were bidding.

Among them, naturally, was Li Zhangsheng; it could be said that he was determined to win the Ice Spirit Grass.

As long as he consumed this Ice Spirit Grass, the quality of Roundy was very likely to increase because of it, so how could he possibly give up.

Because the number of people participating in the bidding was too small, Li Zhangsheng did not input a price that was too high all at once like before, but instead added it slowly by 1,000 at a time, until all other participants gave up.

"87,000 Soul Crystals for the first time, 87,000 Soul Crystals for the second time... 87,000 Soul Crystals for the third time. Congratulations to VIP 88 for successfully winning the Ice Spirit Grass!"

After repeating it three times, the auctioneer struck the wooden gavel hard, announcing the final owner of the Ice Spirit Grass.

Soon, Steward Li Tong brought the Ice Spirit Grass to VIP Room 88 and completed the handover with Li Zhangsheng.

"Bizhen, I'll leave the rest to you!"

After Li Zhangsheng finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared; the Starry Sky Auction House contained many Restrictions, but for him, who possessed the highest Authority, it was completely unobstructed.

The Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake was too expensive, and Li Zhangsheng did not feel at ease leaving it for others to keep.

"Next, please welcome the final finale item—the Top-tier Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake!"

It was also at this moment that the auctioneer's voice resounded throughout the entire venue, and the auction reached its most exciting moment.

Li Zhangsheng's figure suddenly appeared on the auction stage, and he flicked the Monster Pet Bag, summoning the Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub.

At the same time, the data of the Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake appeared on the Obsidian Screen to the side.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake (Infancy Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lower Rank 1st Tier

【Spirit Beast Race】: Medium Warrior

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-tier

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Medusa (Sparse)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood

"I believe the vast majority of people present have heard that this Winter Auction, we will be auctioning a Top-tier Spirit Beast cub."

The auctioneer could not hide his excitement; this was his first time auctioning a Top-tier Spirit Beast. Throughout the entire Langya Kingdom, it was impossible to auction a Top-tier Spirit Beast every year; they often only appeared once every few years or even over a decade.

At this moment, all the buyers present were watching the Top-tier Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub with fiery or greedy eyes; many people had come here just to witness it.

Like a Quasi-God, a Top-tier Spirit Beast could reach the Leader level one hundred percent of the time.

The difference was that the potential of a Top-tier Spirit Beast was clearly higher; even without the help of treasures that assisted in breaking through, there was a significant possibility of reaching the Demon King level, which was also the main reason why Top-tier Spirit Beasts were so expensive.

In the back of the hall, Dou Yuanbin and Liu Xuguang were staring intently at the auction stage, wishing they could kill Li Zhangsheng and snatch the Top-tier Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub while they were at it.

Unfortunately, they dared not!

If they made a move here, it would be no different from seeking abuse, and they might even lose their lives.

"Top-tier Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub, starting price 500,000 Soul Crystals, each increment must be no less than 10,000 Soul Crystals, begin!"

As expected of a top-tier Spirit Beast, the starting price alone exceeded the final price of the Bronze Dragon cub auctioned previously.

Because of this, the vast majority of those present could only watch longingly, becoming witnesses, wanting to record this scene to serve as a topic of conversation for the future.

In fact, across the entire Langya Kingdom, those qualified to compete for the top-tier Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub were absolutely few and far between, and naturally, even fewer came to participate in the bidding.

At this moment, the auction for the Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub officially began.

For the sake of this top-tier Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub, many large factions or some lone-wolf Stronger had to prepare a large amount of Soul Crystals.

Thus, the moment the auction started, they impatiently entered their prices, causing the price of the Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub to climb rapidly.

550,000!

600,000!

700,000!

In the span of just a few breaths, the price of the Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub directly exceeded 700,000, and the key was that its rate of increase showed absolutely no sign of slowing down.

Watching the numbers on the screen grow rapidly, Li Changsheng was overjoyed; this was undoubtedly a living advertisement, and once the Winter Auction concluded, the reputation of the Starry Sky Auction House in the Langya Kingdom would surely increase significantly.

For an auction house, reputation is money, and with great influence, it could attract more buyers and sellers to come and show their support.

As long as it became a nationally famous auction house, it could charge higher admission fees, and with higher final prices for auction items, it could also appropriately increase its commission; the auction house's revenue would naturally be incomparable to before.

In VIP Room 88, Ning Bizhen finally made her move, entering a string of numbers into the bidding device, and began to compete with the remaining few buyers.

Not long after, the price on the screen surged by a large margin, as Dou Yuanbin, who had been observing all along, finally made his move, suddenly raising the bid to 1,000,000 Soul Crystals!

Such a bid left countless buyers dumbfounded.

Unfortunately, this could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the buyers; the remaining few buyers paused slightly and continued to bid, as if no one wanted to give up.

When the bidding reached 1,300,000, only three parties were still continuing to bid; although the price was still constantly increasing, the rate of increase was much slower than before, giving people the feeling that it was nearing its limit.

Besides Ning Bizhen and Dou Yuanbin, Zuo Qiulin in VIP Room 3 was also participating in the bidding.

1,500,000!

It was also at this moment that Dou Yuanbin's expression turned ruthless, and he once again raised the price by a significant amount.

In order to secure the top-tier Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub, Dou Yuanbin had truly sold many treasures and had even borrowed many Soul Crystals from various factions that supported him, only then barely scraping together 1,500,000 Soul Crystals.

Looking at the numbers on the screen, most people present felt their hearts pounding; so many Soul Crystals were enough to allow someone to become a Sixth-Rank Expert within a few short years.

In VIP Room 3, Zuo Qiulin hesitated for a while, but in the end, he sighed softly and gave up the idea of continuing to bid.

Zuo Qiulin was the oldest Pseudo-King in the Langya Kingdom, and over so many years, he had naturally accumulated a massive amount of resources, but in recent years, he had spent a great deal of his wealth to collect Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure for life-extension and breakthroughs; if he were to purchase the Red-Eyed Dust-Yellow Snake cub at such a high price, it would also be a heavy blow to his foundation.

1,510,000!

In VIP Room 88, Ning Bizhen paused specifically before continuing to enter a string of numbers.

In the auction hall, Dou Yuanbin, who had originally been certain of victory, suddenly stood up from his seat.

Today's goal: three, pigs, witness!
