Chapter 32 Ancient Beast Egg

Below the private rooms, the area was already filled with Cultivators who had come to attend the auction.

As for the private rooms upstairs, only people of a certain status could enter.

A voluptuous, enchanting woman in a form-fitting purple dress walked onto the stage at the front.

"Welcome everyone to Wanbao Pavilion. This auction will be handled by this humble one. I hope everyone will abide by the auction rules."

Her voice carried a hint of languor, and her eyes were like silken threads, causing many Cultivators present to stare intently.

Zheng Guan introduced, "This person is Yu Shufei. She is the head manager of Lingyue City's Wanbao Pavilion. It is rumored that she is the daughter of the Wanbao Pavilion Master. I didn't expect her to personally host this auction."

Xu Muge nodded.

【Not bad, this woman is quite suitable to be my aunt.】

Hmm?

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but glance at him. Why are you always thinking about finding an aunt for yourself instead of finding me a partner?

Last time you were thinking of introducing Junior Sister to me, and now you have a new target.

The key is, you only think about it every time. Why don't you take action!

"The auction officially begins. The first item is a set of combined Magic Treasures, a total of five pieces. Each piece is of Profound-grade high quality, and when combined, they are comparable to Earth-grade Magic Treasures. The starting bid is thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

As soon as Yu Shufei finished speaking, a voice came from a private room on the second floor.

"Fifty thousand."

Hearing this voice, Xu Qingzhou had a familiar feeling. After thinking carefully, it seemed to be Lu Zhen's youngest daughter, Lu Qingqiu.

Lu Zhen had said that Lu Qingqiu and Song Bufan would come to this auction. He didn't expect her to bid on the very first item.

However, Wanbao Pavilion's large-scale auction is indeed extraordinary, presenting such a treasure as the first item.

Combined Magic Treasures are already rare, and those comparable to Earth-grade when used together are even rarer.

In ordinary forces, this would at least be a family heirloom level item, yet it was sent for auction.

Bids rose one after another, and in a short while, it reached one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Xu Qingzhou originally thought he had some savings, but now it seemed he was still very poor.

In the end, this Magic Treasure was bought by the person in Private Room A1.

Xu Muge asked curiously, "That voice seems to be from A1. Who is in that private room?"

"Who else could it be? It must be someone from the Royal Family," Zheng Guan recalled. "When we came earlier, I saw the Ninth Prince. It should be him."

Looking at Zheng Guan's complicated expression, Xu Muge asked again, "Why? Is this person very special?"

"He has always been at Great Qi Academy. Among the many princes, he is publicly recognized as having the best talent. Although the position of Crown Prince has long been decided, many people believe he still has a chance," Zheng Guan said in a deep voice.

He still has a chance to become the Crown Prince, or even ascend the throne and become emperor.

"Have you fought before?" Xu Muge asked, hitting a sore spot.

Zheng Guan turned his head, replying with a slightly unnatural tone, "We have fought. I am not as good as him."

Just saying this implies the gap is quite large, perhaps he couldn't even withstand one move.

Xu Muge said confidently, "Senior Brother, don't worry. In a few years, I'll help you get revenge."

He indeed had the capital and confidence to say that.

"Okay, remember to notify me to watch when the time comes," Zheng Guan's spirits immediately lifted.

He didn't like the Ninth Prince, not just because he had lost to him, but because people from the three major first-class forces generally disliked members of the Royal Family.

Because the Royal Family, in order to consolidate their dominant position, had not refrained from suppressing the three major first-class forces openly and secretly over the years.

Therefore, those in the three major forces who knew a little about the inside story disliked the Royal Family.

Moreover, among those who had been secretly watching Xu Muge, wanting to eliminate him quickly, the Royal Family was the strongest and most likely to succeed.

At this moment, Xu Qingzhou heard Xu Luo's inner thoughts.

【This Ninth Prince is indeed not simple. In his previous life, he was the one who won the brutal battle for the throne, eventually ascended the throne, and became the new emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.】

Xu Qingzhou was shocked in his heart.

He didn't expect this Ninth Prince to be able to turn the tide against the wind. Even after the Crown Prince position had long been decided, he could still snatch it back and successfully ascend the throne.

In that case, the Ninth Prince currently sitting in Private Room A1 is the future controller of the Great Qi Dynasty.

If it were the former Xu Family, Xu Qingzhou, knowing this news, might have tried to pick a side and follow him to secure a better future for the Xu Family.

But the current Xu Family did not need to do so at all.

Xu Luo was still recalling the past.

【In his previous life, the Ninth Prince was able to win the Crown Prince position because his spirit beast provided him with great help, and his spirit beast was bought at this auction. I must find a way to intercept it!】

Xu Qingzhou was greatly astonished.

This is important intelligence!

No wonder the reborn Xu Luo stopped his cultivation plan and came back to attend this auction. It turned out he was here for this good item.

Xu Qingzhou was very curious about what kind of spirit beast could help the Ninth Prince win the Crown Prince position. He would have to sell everything he had to buy it for Xu Luo.

This would be the best helper for Xu Luo and the Xu Family in the future.

Item after item of rare treasures was presented, and most were acquired by people in the private rooms.

Zheng Guan also bought a bottle of precious pills. As soon as the pills were delivered, Yu Shufei's languid voice sounded again on the stage.

"This auction item is a special demon beast egg, found in an ancient ruin. Several of our Wanbao Pavilion's appraisal Masters have consulted many materials, but none could find out what kind of demon beast's egg this is."

"But we can indeed feel the surging vitality within the egg, like a dragon. It is definitely a powerful exotic beast."

"Finally, I need to remind everyone that because the type of demon beast is uncertain, the incubation method is also uncertain. If the incubation fails, our Wanbao Pavilion will not be responsible."

"The starting bid for this ancient exotic beast egg is three hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

The characteristics of ancient exotic beasts are their power and rarity. Therefore, even if the specific species is uncertain, the value of this egg is very high, with a starting bid of three hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, because it has too many uncertain factors, plus it's just an egg with a long incubation period, its value is greatly reduced.

If it were a mature ancient exotic beast, its value would definitely be immeasurable!

On the tray in front of Yu Shufei was a gray egg about the size of a washbasin. Even from a distance, one could feel the powerful life force within the egg, moving many Cultivators.

However, this time was a little different from before. It was a moment after she finished speaking that people started bidding one after another, and there weren't many competitors, indicating that this ancient exotic beast egg was not very popular.

After all, the type of demon beast is uncertain, the incubation method is unknown, and whether it can even hatch is uncertain. There are too many uncertain factors. Spending a large amount of Spirit Stones to buy it might be a waste, so everyone was relatively cautious.

Seeing this egg, Xu Luo, in the private room, raised an eyebrow.

【Here it is! In the previous life, it must have been the spirit beast hatched from this egg that helped the Ninth Prince win the throne!】

He spoke, "I seem to have seen a description of this demon beast egg in Master's notes. It is indeed a powerful ancient exotic beast."

Xu Qingzhou's spirits immediately lifted as well.

"Then let's buy it."

Xu Luo nodded, and they began to participate in the bidding.

"Three hundred eighty thousand!"
