The elder of the Taiyi sect was very infuriated. But he must abide by the rules of the auction house. Moreover, the auction wasn't finished.
« Eighty thousand spirit stones! Is there anyone who want to bid a higher price? » shouted the auctioneer.
The whole auction venue fell silent. Everyone was intimidated.
«Then, eighty thousand spirit stones once! Eighty thousand spirit stones twice! Eighty thousand spirit stones thrice! Deal! The pair of hexa-elemental seeds belongs to our brother from VIP room n°4! » shouted the auctioneer.
Yun Chen was very happy because he obtained what he was here for. Now, it was his beast corpses' turn to be auctioned.
«Now it is time for the main event of this competition to begin. » declared the auctioneer.
Suddenly, all the lights in the auction venue went out. Everyone was in the dark and you could hear some mechanical noise coming from the podium.
When the lights came back on, the podium had been widened more than ten times and on top of it were the two demon beast corpses. The crowd became very noisy at the sigh of such high-level demon beasts.
«For this event, special rules have been applied. Since it was announced at the last minute, it is understandable that everyone can't afford its price. So the seller of these corpses has made some compromises. In addition to spirit stones, you can use other things to bid such as demon beasts demon cores and spirit roots even the poisonous ones, dragon type beast blood essences, and high-grade crafting materials or spirit herbs. These are the things accepted for the bid. Moreover, each corpse will be sold separately. Now, the starting price of the eagle corpse is two hundred thousand spirit stones, and the value of each bid must be no less than ten thousand spirit stones! » declared the auctioneer.
After the auctioneer finished talking, all the bids came from the other VIP rooms except the VIP room n°5. The final bid for the eagle corpse was five hundred spirit stones, one hundred spirit-gathering ream beast cores, twenty foundation- building realm beast spirit roots of all kinds and three bottles of dragon-type beast essence.
«Now, gentlemen it is the turn of the snake's corpse. The starting price will be four hundred thousand spirit stones, and the value of each bid must be no less than ten thousand spirit stones! » declared the auctioneer.
The first to bid this time was the elder in the VIP room n°5.
«Six hundred thousand spirit stones! » shouted the elder with a determined face.
Seeing that he was very interested in the snake's corpse Yun Chen decided to get back at him.
« Six hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones and ten foundation-building demon cores! » shouted Yun Chen.
«Brat! Are you courting death? » cried out the elder.
«No need to threaten me elder. Rules are rules. The higher bid wins. » Yun Chen replied calmly.
«Good, good! We will see who will win in the end. Six hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones and forty foundation-building demon cores! » shouted the elder full of anger.
« Six hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones and fifty foundation-building demon cores! » Yun Chen bidded again.
« Six hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones and fifty foundation-building demon cores, two innate realm demon cores and two bottles of dragon-type beast essence.! Brat! If you have the ability, add to it again! » shouted the elder to defy Yun Chen.
«Aiya! The elder of the Taiyi sect is truly rich. I'm not your opponent. I give up! » said Yun Chen in a sarcastic voice.
«You… » the elder cried out in anger after understanding that Yun Chen was playing with him.
«Is there any higher bid? » asked the auctioneer.
The whole crowd fell silent.
«Since there is no one else, this corpse belongs to the elder of the Taiyi sect in VIP room n°5. » concluded the auctioneer.
After the auction was over, the customers must retrieve their items in a special room. Yun Chen was guided by the waitress to retrieve his stuffs. Inside the room Lao Gu was waiting for waiting for Yun Chen with his items displayed on the table.
«Congratulation, young master Yun! You have earned a lot this time. You have even raised the prices. You have helped us earn a lot too. These are the items you purchased. And, in this space-ring are loots. We have already retrieved the money of the items you have purchased. » declared Lao Gu to Yun Chen.
Yun verified the items. But when he opened the wooden box containing the hexa-elemental seeds, he felt a seeming pressure. That pressure was something Yun Chen have felt before in his previous life. It was the dragon pressure.
To have the dragon pressure in these seeds, the beast must have a high percentage of true dragon bloodline. Suddenly, Yun Chen remembered the scene where his egg rushed out to absorb the snake blood essence. So, if the egg could absorb the blood essence of this core-formation dragon-type demon beast, it will be possible to hatch it. Moreover, its demon core will be very useful.
«Elder Lao Gu! Do you perhaps know where the corpse of that two-headed black scale drake is? » asked Yun Chen.
«Oh! It was some experts of our family that hunted that beast. When they killed the beast near a cliff, they only retrieved the seeds and the demon core before being attacked by other demon beasts and the corpse fell off the cliff. If you want to search for the corpse, I have a map indicating the place here. But I advise you not to go. It is a very dangerous place. » explained Lao Gu.
«Don't worry! I have my own means. But what about the demon core? Can you sell it to me? » asked Yun Chen
«Oh? There is no problem. We can even give it to you for free. The core was a little damaged. That is why we didn't want to sell it. » replied Lao Gu.
«….now,…euh, Young master Yun, do you have time right now ? It is about the thing we talked before. » asked Lao Gu embarrassed.
«Well, I can check out his condition. » answered Yun Chen.
After Yun Chen agreed, Lao Gu led him to the upper floors of the auction house. This part of the building was specially reserved for the chairman personal use. This means the person here have a high status. They walked along a corridor before stopping in front of a room.
«Young master Yun, we have arrived! » declared Lao Gu before opening the door and invited Yun Chen to enter.
After entering the room, Yun Chen was very surprised because it wasn't as luxurious as he thought. After looking around, his eyes finally fell on a body asleep in the bed.
« Young master Yun, he is the person I was talking about. He is also the chairman of our Tongxuan auction house. » Lao Gu presented.
«What? The chairman? How could he be in this state? Who in the world can poison him for him to be this helpless? » shouted elder Kong.
Elder Kong knew very well the strength of the chairman. T hat is why he was very shocked by what he just witnessed.
After the reaction of elder Kong, Yun Chen was even more curious to know what kind of poison could be this dreadful.
«Let me check him first. » said Yun Chen while approaching him.
Yun Chen then used his soul power to slowly scout his body. After a careful inspection, he discovered that the man was not poisoned.
