Hearing that it was the finale item, everyone perked up, including Ye Tian in VIP Room Three, who began to pay close attention. So far, not a single item at the auction today had managed to catch his interest. 'I wonder if this so-called finale item will be an exception,' he thought.
For a mont, the entire auction house fell silent. Everyone waited quietly for the middle-aged man to bring out the first day's finale item.
The middle-aged man did not disappoint. Under the unblinking gaze of the crowd, he brought out a red Demon Beast Egg. Even from a distance, one could feel the Energy fluctuating from it, which ant the Demon Beast Egg was still alive and could hatch at any mont.
"So it's a Demon Beast Egg! Judging by its color, it must be sothing special. I just don't know what tier of Demon Beast it is. To be a finale item, it has to be at least a Tier Five Demon Beast Egg, right!" soone in the crowd comnted.
"I doubt it's that simple. It's probably a Tier Six Demon Beast at least. If it's a Flying Bird Demon Beast, its value would be even higher. You could cover vast distances in a single day with it for transport! This Demon Beast Egg will probably be bought by soone in the VIP rooms," another person added.
At this, the discussions in the main hall grew lively. Everyone was guessing what kind of Demon Beast Egg it was and wondering who would ultimately buy it.
"Alright! Everyone, please quiet down! I'm sure you've all seen the Demon Beast Egg in my hand, and you're all guessing what kind of Demon Beast it might be. For now, its identity will remain a secret. I will reveal it once the bidding has gone on for a while. There is one thing I can disclose—this Demon Beast Egg was incredibly difficult to obtain.
The auction starts now! The starting price is ten thousand Spirit Stones, and each bid must be an incrent of at least one thousand!" the middle-aged man announced loudly to the crowd.
Not revealing the type of Demon Beast while setting such a high starting price piqued everyone's curiosity. Soone from the main hall imdiately placed a bid of eleven thousand Spirit Stones.
Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan stared intently at the image of the Demon Beast Egg on the screen. "Xinlan, what kind of Demon Beast Egg do you think this is? I have a feeling it's unusual."
"I think so too. It's most likely from a Flying Bird Demon Beast, and a high-grade one at that. I just don't understand why soone would be willing to auction off such a precious Demon Beast Egg. Are they that desperate for Spirit Stones?" Zhang Xinlan replied.
"Not necessarily. So Demon Beast Eggs are incredibly difficult to hatch. The owner probably couldn't get it to hatch and had no choice but to auction it off. At least this way, they can exchange it for a good number of Spirit Stones," Ye Tian said.
Zhou Hongtao remained silent. He knew this wasn't a conversation he could join. The identities of Ye Tian and his companion were a mystery, and their strength was clearly greater than what it seed on the surface. 'To be unafraid even when eting Six Vein Powerhouses… that's truly rare,' he thought.
"The Young Master is correct. We attendants in the VIP rooms know a bit about this Demon Beast Egg. It is a Flying Bird Demon Beast Egg. The person who obtained it tried every thod they could think of to hatch it, but nothing worked. That's why they had no choice but to put it up for auction.
The owner of this Demon Beast Egg is from a major family, so they aren't short on Spirit Stones. They're auctioning it in the hopes that an expert who recognizes its value might be able to hatch it. They want to find out what kind of Flying Bird Demon Beast it is.
When they first found the egg, all they saw was a giant bird's nest with a few long, seven-colored feathers scattered around. They couldn't identify the Demon Beast from the feathers, so now they're desperate to find out what it is," the attendant, Xu Chun, explained.
"So that's how it is. That certainly makes it more curious. Now I'm also quite interested in finding out what kind of Demon Beast Egg it is. By the way, Xu Chun, do you know where the egg was found?" Ye Tian asked.
"It was supposedly found on the Demon Beast Continent, and it's been several years since then. If the Young Master wishes to bid, you just need to call out a price. Every guest in a VIP room has a bidding qualification of one million Spirit Stones.
If your bids exceed one million Spirit Stones, you'll need to provide your own. Of course, items can be used for paynt as well, and I can help you appraise their value. This policy is to prevent guests from bidding recklessly when they don't have sufficient Spirit Stones, only to win an item and be unable to pay.
In the past, other guests have lost out on items they wanted because of this, which puts the auction house in a difficult position. I hope the Young Master understands; it's a necessary asure," Xu Chun said.
"I understand the reasoning. We'll see how it goes. If the competition gets fierce, I might join in. After all, we in Room Three haven't bought a single thing all day, while the other VIP rooms have all made bids here and there," Ye Tian said.
As they spoke, the price for the Demon Beast Egg had already climbed to two hundred eighty thousand Spirit Stones. There were still around thirty people competing, including two from VIP rooms—Room Four and Room Six.
Ye Tian, however, was in no rush. He knew that based on the value of the items in his possession, he was undoubtedly the wealthiest person at the entire auction. Anyone who dared to compete with him in a battle of Spirit Stones would just be asking for trouble.
"Ye Tian, I've been thinking," Zhang Xinlan suddenly said, her words startling. "This might be the egg of the legendary Seven-Colored Sparrow. If it is, we have to win it. It's a fearso beast from the sa era as the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python! If you could form a Soul Contract with it, the benefits to your future would be unimaginable!"
"The Seven-Colored Sparrow? What kind of Flying Bird Demon Beast is that? This is the first I've ever heard of it!" Ye Tian asked, looking at Zhang Xinlan in astonishnt.
"I've only read about the Seven-Colored Sparrow in ancient texts. Of course, it's just a guess based on the description of the seven-colored feathers. Few people know of the Seven-Colored Sparrow, just as few know of the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python. It's a terrifying flying beast from the Ancient Tis.
The Seven-Colored Sparrow possesses the bloodline of the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, making it a Fire Attribute Demon Beast. There's a faint red glow shimring on that Demon Beast Egg, which is why I ca to this conclusion. The reason it hasn't hatched is probably because there's so kind of Restriction on it. It will only hatch once that Restriction is broken," Zhang Xinlan explained.
Now Ye Tian was truly tempted. A Demon Beast on par with the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python would be terrifyingly powerful. He was now determined to get this Demon Beast Egg.
By now, the bidding had reached four hundred thirty thousand Spirit Stones. The number of bidders had noticeably dwindled, but there were still five or six people raising the price, and the occupants of the two VIP rooms were still competing.
"Xu Chun, bid five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Let everyone know that VIP Room Three has laid claim to this Demon Beast Egg!" Ye Tian commanded…
