"Hehe."
The sounds of arguing persisted in the hall, most depreciating the Spiritual Beasts, yet this did not affect their auction. In fact, so cultivators were criticizing the beasts’ utility while fervently bidding for them.
Several hours later, the auctioneer Shuibing suddenly tapped the gavel.
"Everyone, the next item is our finale. Of course, the first is still a Spiritual Beast, but it is sowhat different!"
Resembling a dog, its body covered with leopard spots, horns on its head similar to those of a bull, and a bark akin to a dog’s cry.
Gently stroking this Mountain and Sea Strange Beast, Shuibing introduced with a smile: "Mountain and Sea Strange Beast Jiao, it is not skilled in combat, but it possesses a peculiar ability; wherever it appears, there is abundant harvest!"
"Its abundant harvest isn’t limited to grain; whether spiritual dicine or Spirit Plant, as long as Jiao stays in the area, everything will grow rapidly, and it will even slowly enhance the grade of Spiritual Objects!"
"Is it true or not!"
"Such an extraordinary ability."
"Should we not concern ourselves with how exactly the Five Elents Sect acquired so many Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts?"
"Starting bid is five thousand Divine Crystals, with each incrent no less than one hundred."
"Eight thousand." "Ten thousand."
"Twelve thousand." "Twenty thousand!"
The impact of Jiao was too significant; its ability could almost guarantee the stable foundation of a power. Most of the cultivators present were key figures in their respective powers, capable of influencing the opinions of families and sects to so extent.
Consequently, the price soared absurdly high!
"One hundred thousand."
Mu Xifeng’s delicate command imdiately silenced everyone. One hundred thousand Divine Crystals, even a Golden Immortal would be strained.
Qian Yuanbao reluctantly closed his mouth; although Jiao’s role was significant, the Puppet Sect’s most important assets were still the Spiritual Mines, so it wasn’t an absolute necessity.
As for Lei Batian, apologies, but the Thunder God Temple were paupers, Lei Batian being a kind of poor Golden Immortal who couldn’t manage one hundred thousand Divine Crystals.
Shen Boyi chuckled foolishly in the booth, and Chen Jiuge was also shocked by the price.
"Perhaps in the future, we should cultivate more Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts with special abilities, preferably those that can assist in production."
"Ancestor Master, I rember I bred more than one Jiao!" Chen Jiuge suddenly recalled.
Shen Boyi chuckled, "Yes, there are three, but the sect took the other two. We also need developnt, you know. If it weren’t for dicine King Valley participating in this auction, not a single Jiao would have been released."
"I see." Chen Jiuge felt a bit puzzled, although Jiao was considered a decent Exotic Beast among Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts, it was at most of lower dium rank. If it were replaced by Dang Kang, would these people go mad!
Keeping this in mind, Chen Jiuge decided that without fully understanding the situation of Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts in the True Realm, he must not cultivate overly powerful Exotic Beasts.
The final two items were Wood God Liquid and Sun Essence, one taken by the Thunder God Temple and the other by the Puppet Sect.
The auction concluded, and cultivators filed out in droves.
These cultivators all had flushed faces, their expressions excited. This auction was so stimulating, perhaps the items at Five Luminaries Auction House weren’t the most valuable, but they were certainly the rarest.
Just two nearly extinct Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts could give the participating cultivators enough bragging rights for several thousand years.
ntioning to a friend in leisure, "Have you ever seen a Mountain and Sea Strange Beast?"
"No? Well, I have, two kinds in fact!"
Just the thought was thrilling!
........
After the auction ended, Shen Boyi sent Chen Jiuge back to Divine Tree Mansion and then left. It was said that Evergreen dicine King from dicine King Valley had a matter to discuss, presumably about the origin of these Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts.
Five Elents Hall, the core hall of the Five Elents Sect, generally used only to receive important guests.
The Five Elents Great Gate, unopened for thousands of years, had opened today to welco Mu Xifeng and Mu Xinyan.
The rich Five Elents Qi directly spawned a large number of Five Elents Elves, these mindless Elves frolicking and playing in the hall.
Occasionally, a Five Elents Crystal would drop from them, and the accumulated crystals over millennia had filled more than half of the vast Five Elents Hall.
Mu Xinyan was sowhat amazed, "The Five Elents Sect is incredibly affluent, to have so many Five Elents Crystals."
Mu Xifeng shook her head with a light smile: "Our dicine King Valley is even richer; the Puppet Sect surpasses us all."
"Xinyan, every great sect has unfathomable depths; these aren’t much. Strength is the essence."
"As expected of the youngest dicine King of dicine King Valley, you’re absolutely right." Liu Tai’s figure gradually solidified in the hall.
"Greetings, Sect Master." Mu Xifeng bowed slightly and greeted.
"No need for formalities. You’re eting on behalf of dicine King Valley as a whole; what do you wish to discuss?" Liu Tai said with a serious expression.
Mu Xifeng waved her hands and said solemnly, "Before that, I would like to ask Sect Master Liu a question!"
"Ask away."
"Where did the Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts at the auction co from, or can the Five Elents Sect continue to produce them?"
After pondering for a while, Liu Tai replied in a deep voice, "What if we can, and what if we cannot?"
"If we cannot, then let this eting be a simple encounter between dicine King Valley and the Five Elents Sect, and we can reconfirm our future elixir collaboration contract."
"If we can, I believe dicine King Valley and the Five Elents Sect could cooperate more deeply, for instance, by jointly resisting the Thunder God Temple, or perhaps even annihilating the Thunder God Temple."
A gleam flashed in Liu Tai’s eyes. As the youngest Daluo of the Sect Master lineage and assuming the position of Sect Master for the first ti, Liu Tai naturally wanted to achieve so accomplishnts.
"I know Sect Master Liu is not the sa as the previous sect master, right?" Mu Xifeng said with a smile.
"You’ve convinced , given that..."
After a full ten days and nights, Mu Xifeng finally walked out of the Five Elents Hall with Mu Xinyan.
This negotiation will completely break the surrounding peace, as war is about to comnce.
...
"Hoo hoo hoo"
Wufu cautiously breathed fire, occasionally glancing upwards, fearing it might do sothing wrong.
After a long ti, with a muffled sound echoing, Wufu stopped its actions.
Yue ng looked at the golden First Revolutions Immortal Pill, and satisfied, she patted Wufu’s small head: "You’re much better than Dabai and Little Huojing."
Wufu displayed a friendly smile, then took a First Revolutions Golden Core and vanished swiftly from Yue ng’s sight.
Since refining the First Revolutions Immortal Pill alone last ti, upon returning, Granny Mu’s teachings beca increasingly profound, and the pace grew faster. If Yue ng had not been a Moon Rabbit by nature, naturally adept at refining dicine, she might have struggled to keep up.
"At least now, I can refine the Second Revolutions Immortal Pill." Yue ng was still a bit unsatisfied with her progress.
"Junior Chen, Junior Chen."
Yue ng opened the courtyard door, looking curiously at the Five Elents Sect disciple outside: "Why are you looking for my master?"
"You must be Yue ng; I’m Gu Shan. Junior Chen had previously issued a task to find spiritual beasts. I was lucky enough to find one, so I’m here to claim my reward!" Gu Shan said cheerfully.
"Really? Show !" Yue ng exclaid in surprise.
Gu Shan, not fearing Yue ng would renege on the deal, had a Spirit Beast Bag at his waist that emitted a spirit light, revealing a long, thick shadow.
"Bali!" Yue ng exclaid in joy.
"Sister Yue ng!" The dazed Bali’s eyes were filled with joy upon seeing Yue ng.
Gu Shan cheerfully stood by, watching the two reunite, not delaying for long.
"I rember the task reward was that as long as one found a spiritual beast, one could freely form a contract with any spiritual beast."
Recalling the task reward’s details, Yue ng summoned Hong Yue, gave so instructions, and sent it off to collect the reward from the tree house outside.
After the auction concluded, the promised rewards were distributed.
"Appoint Chen Jiuge as the Great Steward of Zone Three Garden in the Five Elents Sect Spiritual Beast Garden, with full discretion and authority to command a hundred from the Guardian Army, and at maximum command two Golden Immortal Guardians!"
"Annual stipend elevated to Inner Elder Level, and granted a large Spiritual Stone Mine, a small Divine Crystal Mine, and a small Spiritual Ore Mine."
"Thank you, Sect Master," Chen Jiuge said, his voice sowhat strained.
The reward was indeed lavish, enhancing position, status, and power—a qualitative leap!
Liu Tai said cheerfully, "Just concentrate on nurturing spiritual beasts in the future, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can talk to directly."
"Moreover, I will also assist you with the task you posted in the sect about finding missing spiritual beasts."
"Thank you, Sect Master."
"Alright, go back. Your cultivation is still sowhat lacking. The spirit energy concentration in Lou Boxuan’s abode is limited, while the spirit energy concentration in Zone Three Garden of the Spiritual Beast Garden is higher. You should stay over there, and I’ll send soone to establish a Spirit Gathering Array for you."
"Yes."
