Chapter 38 - Obtaining the Egg

"Which Demonic Beast laid this egg?" A cultivator on the first floor asked Nie Jin. "According to the person who wants to auction off the egg, a Mid-tier Rank 1 Mache Boa laid this egg." Nie Jin replied to the cultivator.

"65 Low-grade Spirit Stones" "70 Low-grade Spirit Stones" 2 loud shouts rang out from the first and second floor respectively, it was not Tang Yin.

"75 Low-grade Spirit Stones" Another voice from the second floor participated, it was a woman's delicate voice.

"80 Low-grade Spirit Stones" A voice rang out from the third floor for the first time during this auction. All voices on the first floor immediately stopped speaking and biding, they knew once a cultivator from the third floor shouted a bid, they had no chance. Most of the cultivators on the second floor also decisively gave up.

"90 Low-grade Spirit Stones" This time It was Tang Yin who sent out a bid.

"100 Low-grade Spirit Stones" The same cold voice from the third floor resounded once again.

"120 Low-grade Spirit Stones" Tang Yin shouted out once more, his heart clenched in pain. However, he was determined to get the egg. The bidder from the third floor did not send out another bid, and neither did anyone else.

"120 Low-grade Spirit Stones, once, twice, and sold. Congratulations cultivator on the second floor, this Mid-tier Rank 1 Mache Boa Demonic Beast Egg now belongs to you. It will be sent to your room shortly." Nie Jin grinned, the results were higher than expected. He did not linger on this though but moved on to the next auction item.

Tang Yin's heart bled in pain.

When he thought about the Low-grade Spirit Stones he would receive from the Spirit Adaption pill, his pain decreased by a bit.

Tang Yin did not pay attention to the rest of the auction, he was not interested in anything other than the Demonic Beast Egg. A few minutes later a knock resounded from his door. "Come in." Tang Yin calmly said.

A beautiful woman opened the door and entered. Tang Yin recognized her as the one who had held the tray containing the Demonic Beast Egg when it was being auctioned. The woman held the same tray in her hand, in the tray was the Demonic Beast Egg and a bag.

"The bag contains 49 Low-grade Spirit Stones from the Spirit Adaption Pill, and this Demonic Beast Egg is 120 Low-grade Spirit Stones." The woman walked up to Tang Yin, handed him the bag and reminded him of the price of the Demonic Beast Egg.

"I remember the Spirit Adaption Pill being sold for 50 Low-grade Spirit Stones, are you trying to rob me?" Tang Yin coldly spoke to the woman with no hint of politeness.

"The rules of the auction hall state, if you wish to auction off an item, the auction hall will receive 5% of the income." The woman was not bothered by Tang Yin's cold words and chuckled before she explained herself.

Tang Yin took the bag and counted every single Spirit Stone, once he made sure there were exactly 49 Low-grade Spirit Stones, he took out 71 Low-grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring and coldly said, "The Spirit Stones within the bag and these 71 Spirit Stones are 120 Low-grade Spirit Stones in total, take it and leave."

The woman was not perturbed by Tang Yin's rude tone as if she were used to it, Tang Yin took the Demonic Beast Egg into his embrace. The woman put the extra 71 Low-grade Spirit Stones into the bag and left.

Once the woman left, Tang Yin carefully inspected the egg, he could not find anything abnormal on the surface. 'Heaven Piercing Gaze' He then activated the Heaven Piercing Gaze to take a closer look at the Demonic Beast Egg.

He could see the inner layer of the egg, it looked like a large number of blackish-gold veins were encompassing something within. Even with the Heaven Piercing Gaze, he could not see anything deeper than that. His Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit trembled even more furiously in the face of the egg, but it returned to normal shortly after as if nothing had happened.

Tang Yin was shocked, anything that could make the Heaven Devouring Abyss shudder and resonate with it would definitely be unordinary. Yet the egg looked normal, and no clues could be found.

He tried everything he could to find any sort of clue linking it to the Heaven Devouring Abyss. But except for the colour, he could not find anything.

He decided to inspect the Demonic Beast Egg later when he had returned to the inn on an even deeper scale. For now, he hid the egg under his black cloak. His storage ring could not store living beings, otherwise, if he forced the egg in, the spatial dimension within the storage ring would collapse.

Tang Yin absent-mindedly watched the auction, most of his mind had been occupied with speculations about the Demonic Beast Egg and his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit.
