Chapter 66: Seizing Food from the Tiger's Maw

"If this fellow Daoist doesn't mind, let me see if this Minor Divine Ability is real or fake."

"No problem."

Su Changqing nodded. Ignoring the ugly expression on Kulu Laomo's face, he moved his figure and flew toward the auction stage.

Arriving before Bai Ruxue, Su Changqing took a look at the woman. It had to be said, this young girl was truly as beautiful as a celestial, making one feel fond just by looking at her.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look..."

Su Changqing raised his hand and sent the animal skin before her eyes. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he was not afraid of her playing any tricks.

Bai Ruxue took it cautiously. Facing such a precious item, she dared not show the slightest negligence.

This was a Minor Divine Ability, something sufficient to be passed down for ten thousand years. Every time one appeared, it would always stir up a storm of blood.

One could imagine just how precious this thing was!

Bai Ruxue held the animal skin in her hands and lightly raised her right hand. A stream of light appeared, and light surged upon the animal skin.

And at this very moment, five-colored light flashed within Bai Ruxue's eyes.

"Not bad, this is indeed a Minor Divine Ability, and its power is quite remarkable."

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Ruxue let out a soft breath, and her sweet voice rang out.

One must know that this was a Minor Divine Ability, enough to become the foundation of a clan.

"How is it? I don't need to say much about the preciousness of this Minor Divine Ability, right? I wonder if this fellow Daoist Kulu has any other treasures? If not, this Other Shore Flower will belong to me."

Su Changqing's expression shifted slightly, then he looked at Kulu Laomo not far away and spoke indifferently.

There was not a hint of fear on Su Changqing's face. Even if the other party wished they could pull out his tendons and peel his bones, they could not make a move here. In this Tiannan City, he was still safe.

"Hmph, fellow Daoist truly has deep fortune, even possessing a Minor Divine Ability. This seat does not have such heaven-defying items. Since that is the case, this auction item belongs to you."

"I'll let this brat keep it for now. Once I deal with this brat, his things will all be mine."

Kulu Laomo's expression sank, and a cold glint flashed across his face, but it returned to normal in an instant.

Just as Su Changqing had thought, even though he was a Golden Core late-stage cultivator, it was not easy to kill Su Changqing on the spot. Although everyone present had done things like killing to seize treasures, it could not be brought out into the open after all.

Even if one could do all sorts of things behind the scenes, one had to put on a sanctimonious appearance here.

Su Changqing happily put away the Other Shore Flower; it had not disappointed him after all. However, the crisis had not been resolved. Since he had obtained the Other Shore Flower, this Kulu Laomo would never let him go. Of course, there were also some jealous people who would target him and look for an opportunity to strike.

How should he escape?

Su Changqing remained calm on the surface, while thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

With his current divine abilities, even if he faced a siege by two or three Golden Core late-stage cultivators, even if he could not defeat them, he had a ten-tenths certainty of escaping. However, this Kulu Laomo was not an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, so he still needed to handle it carefully.

Just as Su Changqing was pondering a countermeasure, the auction continued. Now for the final treasure, all the old monsters present revealed looks of anticipation.

What would the final item be? A faint smile appeared on Bai Ruxue's face, and she clapped her hands. Then, a maidservant moved with lotus steps, walked over slowly, knelt on both knees, and held up the jade tray in her hands.

For a moment, the old monsters held their breath. Bai Ruxue lifted her jade hand slightly and uncovered the red cloth on the tray. A square jade box, about a foot long and a foot wide, appeared before their eyes. On the surface of the box were several gold and silver Forbidden Seal talismans, with spiritual light pulsing on the surface. It looked extraordinary at a glance.

Spirit Sealing Talisman! Su Changqing's pupils constricted, and a look of shock and doubt appeared on his face.

What kind of treasure was this, to be preserved with such a precious Spirit Talisman? It was not just him; which of the old monsters present was not a well-informed person? Exclamations rang out continuously. This was a very rare Spirit Sealing Talisman, itself a thing that could be sought but not found. Whatever treasure was imprisoned by it, the expressions of all the old monsters, whether human or demon, turned solemn, and they dared not even breathe loudly.

Bai Ruxue did not say a word, and the atmosphere at the scene was fully stirred up.

Seeing such a scene, a look of satisfaction appeared on the woman's face. Then, she raised her jade hand and pointed forward with a solemn expression.

In an instant, the Spirit Sealing Talisman turned into a stream of light and shot toward Bai Ruxue's hand. As a legendary Spirit Talisman, this treasure was of course not a one-time use item. Although the light was much dimmer, it could still be used repeatedly before the spiritual energy inside was exhausted.

Bai Ruxue raised her jade hand and cast a stream of light.

"Bang..."

Accompanied by a soft sound, a stream of light shot out toward the jade box. One could see an object the size of a human head, with seven-colored light—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet—constantly changing, and a powerful aura rippled toward the surroundings.

But in an instant, the light faded, and everything returned to normal.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a low roar came from inside, a sound like the roar of a wild lion.

"What is this?"

With Su Changqing's cultivation and divine abilities, his mind almost lost its defense after hearing that fierce roar, let alone the others. Although those attending the auction were all cultivators above Foundation Establishment, at this moment, they were all pale and dizzy. Those weaker Foundation Establishment cultivators had faces that turned incomparably pale, and dozens of them could no longer endure it, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

"Hum!"

At this moment, the Heaven-Veiling Scripture automatically surged. In an instant, all the discomfort disappeared. The expressions of the others were much the same; after a brief moment of being stunned, they all wore looks of fanaticism.

Seeing such a scene, Bai Ruxue nodded with satisfaction. Then, she chanted a mysterious incantation and raised her right hand, causing several streams of light to fall. As the light fell, all the light disappeared, and the treasure finally revealed its true appearance.

It was a beast egg the size of a human head, with runes slowly flowing on its surface.

"This treasure was also just obtained from a secret realm. After identification by our sect, this is a beast egg passed down from ancient times, which has been in a deep sleep due to some special reasons."

Bai Ruxue spoke slowly.

"An Ancient Beast Egg? Could it be a certain type of demon clan? Can Fellow Daoist Bai tell us in more detail?"

"This egg is not an ordinary demon beast, but a Nine-Headed Golden Lion."

Before the words had even faded, the crowd below exploded with a roar.

"What, a Nine-Headed Golden Lion? Did I hear that right?"

"It is actually this beast?"

"In legends, it is an existence that can contend with the True Dragon and Phoenix!"
