Chapter 54: Dragon Bone, Phoenix Meat, and Mermaid Egg
Although the Old Ox pinned his hopes on Lu Ren, wanting to use the momentum of the auction to find his old friend's lost child.
He also knew that this matter was extremely difficult.
Who would have thought that he had barely spoken a few words before Lu Ren shoved the water screen right in front of him? This...
Although he felt it was unlikely, as he lowered his eyes to look closely, his eyes widened even further.
They were already ox eyes, but now they looked even more like copper bells.
Lu Ren was extremely patient; after the Old Ox reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the water screen, he saw the Old Ox's slightly puzzled expression.
"It is strange to say..." the Old Ox said softly.
"I always feel that this Ice Soul Wolf in the water screen looks like my old friend's child, yet I am somewhat uncertain."
"Hmm... Lu Family Head, I wonder if I might see the owner of this Ice Soul Wolf?"
When he reached the word "owner" at the end, the Old Ox's tone was somewhat subtle.
It was filled with obvious disgust.
For a Spirit Beast, a Master-Servant Contract is an insult; very few Spirit Beasts would choose a Master-Servant Contract, for once contracted, their life is no longer in their own hands.
They all have intelligence; they are living beings!
How could they be willing to be reduced to someone else's tool? A pet?
And whether it is a Master-Servant Contract, one can tell just by taking a slight look.
Any Spirit Beast under a Master-Servant Contract will have a Slave Mark on its body.
This is where the true shame lies.
Facing the Old Ox's request, Lu Ren would naturally not refuse.
He chuckled: "Naturally, you may. It just so happens that I have a debt with the owner of this Ice Soul Wolf that I haven't had the chance to settle yet."
Could Yu Ruowei have thought that what he said before was a joke? She dared to sneak into Wanren City? He had already said it before.
When we meet again, we shall be enemies.
I will show no mercy.
After Weisheng Yucheng left with the Old Ox, not long after, Feng Wuyou emerged from her cave dwelling.
She had rushed straight here, her mind impacted by the Dream Trace, and then she killed Mo Tianming; with great joy and great sorrow, ups and downs, as soon as she returned to the Lu Family, she began to seclude herself to repair her shaken mind.
Now, Feng Wuyou's complexion was rosy, her eyes clear, no longer trapped by confusion.
Her red clothes were like fire, and she smiled as she walked over.
"Second Brother, I have fully recovered."
"I heard the auction will open in a few days. Let me add some items for Second Brother; it's also a good chance to trade for some Spirit Stones to spend."
As she spoke, she asked: "Is the Wanren Auction an odd number or an even number?"
"Naturally, it is an even number; good things come in pairs," Lu Ren replied.
He took out a copy of the auction catalog.
Although it was only a simplified version, one could still see a glimpse of its splendor.
Among them, the Longevity-Extending Pill and the Demon-Purging Pill were good things that went without saying.
There were also various other pills.
Heart-Clearing Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill, Gold-Sprinkling Pill, Blood-Replenishing Pill, Heart-Calming Pill, Spirit-Clarifying Pill...
For each type of pill, the quantity was no less than two to two bottles.
A bottle naturally contained ten pills.
There were even more various Spirit Treasures.
Two Post-Heaven Spirit Treasures.
Twenty High-Grade Dharma Artifacts and Spirit Swords.
Ten Demonic Artifacts.
Two sets of Dragon Bone.
Two drops of Dragon Blood.
Ten Dragon Scales.
Two pieces of Phoenix Meat.
Two eggs of the Jiaoren Clan.
Everything else was fine, but seeing the Mermaid Egg, Feng Wuyou was stunned for a moment.
She felt slightly surprised: "Is this alive or dead?"
Her fingertip pointed at the Mermaid Egg in the catalog. Mermaids have always been extremely fierce, and there are hardly any Mermaids who have contracted with the Human Race; they are the true overlords of the ocean.
Countless Mermaids live in the Endless Sea, and no one has yet dared to provoke them.
And it is extremely difficult for Mermaids to conceive.
Even if it were a dead egg, they would protect it to the death.
If a Mermaid Egg were to be auctioned publicly, it would likely stir up trouble.
However, Feng Wuyou felt relieved after thinking about it.
The hatred between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan is right before us; bones, blood, meat, and scales, not a single piece missing, so it seems there is no difference if there is one more Jiaoren Clan.
What's more, the Monster Race is in decline.
The Human Race of the Tianxuan Continent is the stronger side.
"Naturally, it is alive." Lu Ren took a glance, understood what Feng Wuyou meant, and shook his head.
"It was not seized by me, but handed over to the Lu Family by the Jiaoren Clan themselves."
Feng Wuyou looked thoughtful.
This was rather interesting.
Although everyone wanted to contract a Jiaoren as a Spirit Beast, the Jiaoren Clan being so eager definitely meant there was a problem.
She set the matter aside for the moment, pondered for a while, and took two items out of her Storage Bag.
"Since the auction items are in pairs, I shall also present a pair."
"One is a weapon I once used."
"This is the Chi Tiger Gold-Inlaid Crescent Moon Crouching Dragon Blade."
This blade was black and yellow, possessing the majestic power of a mountain lord, and the bright, white moonlight-like crescent on the hilt appeared even more crystal clear.
This was the weapon that had made Feng Wuyou famous back in the day.
Much like Lu Ren's own famous weapon, though he had given his Spear to Lu Daoran.
Lu Daoran loved it so much he could not bear to part with it and cherished it greatly; one could always see that eye-catching Spear by his side, and only when he was truly killing someone would he take out his own sword, unable to bear the thought of dirtying the weapon gifted by Lu Ren.
Back then, it was with this Chi Tiger Gold-Inlaid Crescent Moon Crouching Dragon Blade that Feng Wuyou had slaughtered the entire Great Yu clean.
From her father the Emperor and mother the Empress, to the Dowager Consorts, the court officials, and her other brothers and sisters.
Over four hundred people died in pieces.
No one knew exactly what had happened; they only knew that from that day on, Feng Wuyou achieved Enlightenment, and what she realized was the Tyrant Dao; she ventured alone into a dangerous land, and upon returning, she filled out most of her ranks and personally built a new Great Yu.
If the Chi Tiger Gold-Inlaid Crescent Moon Crouching Dragon Blade were to appear at an auction, it would certainly cause a massive uproar.
Lu Ren did not stand on ceremony with Feng Wuyou and nodded.
"Agreed, let it be used for your consignment."
Feng Wuyou did not mind and smiled: "Second Brother is still the same as before, unwilling to take even the slightest advantage, but take this remaining item as a token of my sincerity."
After she finished speaking, she took out a wine bottle.
"This is Yunguo Wine."
Lu Daoran immediately became interested, "There is actually this much?"
The wine bottle was a spatial container; one could tell at a glance.
Feng Wuyou nodded, "Indeed, it can be divided into twenty bottles for consignment; there are always people in this world who lack heirs."
That was indeed the truth.
Lu Ren gladly accepted.
Seeing Lu Ren accept it, Feng Wuyou finally revealed a smile and said: "Second Brother, have you considered who will guard the auction?"
Lu Ren was the person with the greatest strength.
But he could not go to the auction to fall, to act as a bodyguard.
Therefore...
"I originally intended for Chaos."
Feng Wuyou's eyes lit up, "Chaos has actually awakened as well? Then I shall stand guard and patrol together with Chaos."
"In any case, I still have three hundred civil and military officials, and the concubines and favorites of my inner palace to utilize."
Her desire to contribute was extremely urgent.
More than that, she did not dare to leave Wanren City too far, fearing the Heavenly Dao might work against her in secret.
Lu Ren understood her intentions and agreed to her requests one by one.
Once everything was prepared, Wanren City opened wide, and other members of the Human Race came to offer treasures; time ticked away, and in the blink of an eye, the auction was imminent.
The moment that all eyes were upon finally arrived.
