Chapter 254: Chapter 235: Wen Longyu
Before long, as the two ate and drank, they looked through the window and saw the auction hall below was already packed and bustling with activity.
Most of them were Inner Sect Disciples from the Wanxiang Sect. They were followed by Loose Cultivators from other places, and many of the visiting disciples from the Spirit Dragon Sect were also in attendance.
Yu Changsheng recognized quite a few of them. What surprised him, however, was seeing Zhang Tianwen in the crowd.
"Hey, isn’t that Senior Brother Zhang? He came too." It wasn’t just Yu Changsheng; Li Minghan, who was beside him, had also noticed Zhang Tianwen discreetly taking a seat in the main hall.
"Since Senior Brother Zhang is here, I’ll go down and invite him up. You don’t mind, do you, Changsheng?"
Li Minghan mulled it over for a moment before speaking to Yu Changsheng.
"I don’t mind." Yu Changsheng shook his head, then added thoughtfully, "It’s just... we just turned away Yang Chengxu. If we invite Senior Brother Zhang in right after, Yang Chengxu might see it and get upset."
"That’s true, but Senior Brother Zhang is one of our own, so it should be fine." Li Minghan nodded. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "But you have a point. We should be mindful of appearances."
"In that case, let’s arrange for him to be in the Earth Character Two private room, right next to Yang Chengxu’s. That way, we aren’t being disrespectful, and it still shows that we value him."
"I think that’s a great idea. Let’s do that." Yu Changsheng nodded, giving Li Minghan an appreciative look.
"Alright, it’s settled then."
Li Minghan nodded and waved over a servant to give his instructions. Soon after, Zhang Tianwen was escorted from the main hall to the Earth Character Two private room.
With everything arranged, the lights in the hall dimmed and the auction officially began. A woman with a stunning figure in a slightly revealing dress slowly ascended the stage.
She was tall and slender, with a captivating face and fiery red lips curved in a subtle smile. She moved with slow, deliberate steps, her waist as supple as a water snake, so slender it seemed one could wrap a single hand around it. With every blink, her amorous glances swept across the room, an infinite charm radiating naturally from her every move. Her graceful brow, her every feature, was enough to awaken the most primitive desire to conquer in any man. She was the very definition of sexy. And now, she offered a light smile:
"Welcome, everyone, to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower’s annual auction. I am your auctioneer, Linglong. You have all traveled far to be here, and I’m sure you’re eager to begin. So, without further ado, let the auction officially commence!"
Feeling the heated gazes upon her, Linglong smiled faintly—a devastatingly charming, infinitely alluring sight. With a light wave of her hand, the first auction item was brought to the stage.
As the red cloth was pulled away, the first item was revealed for all to see.
The item was none other than an egg, pale cyan in color, with cloud-like patterns of a deeper cyan swirling across its shell. As the power of its Sealing Array pulsed, a potent aura of vitality emanated from it. At the same time, a faint but extraordinary bestial pressure spread throughout the area.
"Gasp... It’s a—!"
The crowd erupted in a clamor, and the sound of sharp intakes of breath could be heard everywhere as everyone stared in shock.
Seeing their reaction, Linglong covered her mouth with a graceful hand and smiled. She began her introduction, her voice as crisp and pleasant as silver bells.
"This is our first item of the day, something to warm up the crowd. It is the egg of a Tier Three Spirit Beast, the Cloud Soaring Green Blade Beast! Its vitality is strong, and with careful nurturing, it will hatch before long. As everyone knows, only a Spirit Beast raised from birth forms the strongest bond with its master. I don’t need to elaborate on its value. For those of you who are interested, don’t let this opportunity slip away."
"The starting bid is one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
The moment she finished speaking, someone immediately raised their placard to bid.
"One hundred and ten thousand Spirit Stones!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"
...
In the blink of an eye, the price soared to one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and it was still climbing.
From his private room, Yu Changsheng watched quietly, clicking his tongue in amazement. ’Now *this* is a major event,’ he thought. ’Compared to this, my Odd Demon Pavilion is just child’s play.’
"The egg of a Tier Three Cloud Soaring Green Blade Beast is certainly impressive. If you like it, Changsheng, feel free to bid. Don’t worry about the money."
Li Minghan chuckled, casually plucking a grape from a bunch with an air of relaxed elegance.
"No, thank you. I’m not short on Spirit Beasts. Besides, aren’t you the Young Tower Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower? Aren’t you going to claim such a prize for yourself?"
Yu Changsheng shook his head. If nurtured properly, the egg of a Tier Three Cloud Soaring Green Blade Beast had the potential to reach its full Tier Three strength—equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator. The average person would naturally be tempted, but Yu Changsheng was not among them.
"It’s nothing that special. I’m not short on Spirit Beasts either. If I really wanted it, it never would have made it to the auction block in the first place."
Li Minghan smiled. "Alright then, let’s keep watching. Just let me know if you need anything."
"Alright." Yu Changsheng nodded, casually flipping through the auction catalog on the table, looking thoughtful.
’Cloud Soaring Green Blade Beast egg...’
’Second-Grade Elixir, Cyan Spirit Pill...’
’Three Deaths and Rebirth Pill...’
’Six-winged Saber-toothed Tiger Cub...’
...
’Wen Longyu...’
’Fire Dragon Fruit...’
...
Looking at the items in the catalog one by one, Yu Changsheng grew pensive.
’These are all truly rare items. As expected of the Beast Taming Commerce Association, renowned across the continent, even if this is just a small branch.’
They were undoubtedly all fine items and he was tempted by them, but none were things he absolutely needed. He also glanced over the estimated auction prices.
