Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Chapter 165: Mermaid, Sea Pearl
The dancers in Lingbo Pavilion have a completely different style than those in Huaxian Tower in Huaxian Valley.

The dance of Huaxianlou has a kind of feminine beauty. The dancers look very delicate and easily arouse men's desire to protect them.

The dancers in Lingbo Pavilion have a sharp beauty in their dancing postures. They have a heroic feeling and their clothes are more bold.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer empty seats in Lingbo Pavilion, and the time for the mermaid show was getting closer.

"My fellow Taoist, could we share a seat together?" A somewhat weak voice sounded.

Chen Jiuge looked at the owner of the voice, an ordinary-looking Divine Transformation cultivator wearing ordinary robes. Although he clasped his hands in salute, Chen Jiuge discovered that the fingers under his hands were crossed and twisted uneasily. He was an introverted cultivator, which was really rare.

"Okay." Chen Jiuge agreed. He ordered a large table that could accommodate eight people. He had originally planned to invite Ao Li and Li Kui to come out and take a look, but he didn't expect that the two of them were not interested.

It would be better for Li Kui to sleep more. As for Ao Li, he was looking at the cubs running around in the cave with a worried look on his face. These cubs were bought in the Five-Colored Fairy City. Although most of them were aquatic beasts, there were also jellyfish that could float in the air, and sea fish that could stand on two feet. These were very strange beasts.

After obtaining Chen Jiuge's consent, the ordinary-looking cultivator immediately waved to the female cultivator not far away. He turned to Chen Jiuge and said, "Daoyou, my name is Haibo, and this is my Taoist partner Jiang Huahua."

Jiang Huahua was also a very shy cultivator. She just greeted Chen Jiuge with a slightly blushing face and then sat down quietly.

"My name is Chen Jiuge, nice to meet you."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are here to see the mermaid show as well, right?" Hai Bo said as he handed the spirit stone to Chen Jiuge.

Although he had a good impression of these two cultivators, Chen Jiuge couldn't refuse to accept the spiritual stones: "Yes, Brother Hai, do you have anything to tell me?"

Hai Bo hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better not say anything. This should be the first time you see a mermaid. If I say anything, it will easily ruin your expectations."

Chen Jiuge stopped asking questions after hearing that, as the mermaid show was about to begin.

The dancers in the sky went down one by one, and a female cultivator with only three points of her body covered by shells slowly stepped forward. It was Tian Yiyi, the head of Lingbo Pavilion: "Everyone is here for the mermaid performance, so I will not delay any longer and start now."

Under Chen Jiuge's expectant eyes, the mermaid came on the stage.

"Is this a mermaid?" Chen Jiuge looked at the strange mermaid on the stage and felt that his mermaid dream was shattered.

(Mermaid: Male)
Chen Jiuge felt like he was blind. He had been looking forward to such an ugly thing for a whole night. It was a bit disgusting.

Hai Bo looked at Chen Jiuge, who had an unpleasant expression, and explained, "This is a male merman. He is not the one to perform. The one to perform is a female merman. Fellow Daoist Chen, please have a look."

A magnificent figure appeared on the stage. Many monks, like Chen Jiuge, who were watching the mermaid performance for the first time, also felt the magic of the Creator at this moment.

(Mermaid: Female)
"Is this really the same species?" Chen Jiuge felt that this mermaid was so beautiful at this moment, exactly like the mermaid in his dream.

In fact, if it was this female mermaid that appeared at the beginning, Chen Jiuge might not have had this feeling. Maybe this is the so-called beauty of contrast.

"Actually, Lingbo Pavilion did this on purpose. They would release the ugly male mermaids to anger the monks, and then release the female mermaids to create a contrast, so that they can sell them at a better price." Jiang Huahua explained in a low voice.

"Selling mermaids?" Chen Jiuge asked in surprise.

“Friend Chen, don’t you know? After the female mermaid finishes her performance, these two mermaids will be auctioned directly, and the person with the highest bid will become the owner of the two mermaids.” Haibo said with some surprise.

The monks who come here are basically here to buy female mermaids. Otherwise, who would come to watch the mermaids' dance every day? No matter how beautiful the dance is, people will get tired of it. Lingbo Pavilion relies on the method of auctioning mermaids to always have a busy business.

The dancing posture of female mermaids is really good, especially the fish tail which is different from human legs, which can really arouse the distracting thoughts of many monks.

"Okay, the performance is over. Before the formal auction begins, let me first introduce the identities of the two mermaids." Tian Yiyi said as she swayed forward.

As the head of Lingbo Pavilion, Tian Yiyi's status is actually not low, but her reputation is not very good. Although she is dressed very revealingly, no one dares to make a fuss. After all, those who dare to make a fuss have basically been sunk into the sea.

"Everyone still remembers the war between the mermaid tribes that we encountered before, right? These two are the princess and prince of the destroyed mermaid tribe. The mermaid blood in them is much stronger than that of ordinary mermaids before, so the price of this auction will be very high."

"The starting price is three hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones." Tian Yiyi said with a smile.

"What, three hundred thousand?"

"Why don't you just go and rob him? What's the use of having a strong bloodline? He's just a mermaid in the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

"Master Tian is really humorous. No one will accept this price."

Looking at the excited crowd below, Tian Yiyi still had a smile on her face, but she cut a wound on the mermaid's arm.

Seeing the dripping blue blood turning into blue crystals on the ground, the monks in the audience were stunned. The experienced casual cultivator trembled and said, "Could this be the legendary mermaid blessed by the sea god?"

"A drop of blood turns into a pearl. This is the Pearl of the Sea."

"Sea Pearl?" Chen Jiuge was a little surprised. What kind of rare treasure was this? He had never heard of it before.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm afraid you don't know that this is a legend in our Haizhu Fairy City." Haibo explained.

"It is said that the Baxia ancestor who carried the Sea Pearl Fairy City on his back once had a merman Taoist partner, so it is easy for him to encounter mermen along the way. The blessing of the sea god means that a drop of blood can turn into a merman with a sea pearl."

"As for the function of the Sea Pearl, I don't know either. This should be the only mermaid blessed by the Sea God that has appeared recently."

“Fellow Daoist Hai, I have a question. Isn’t it said that it is easy to encounter mermaids because the former Taoist partner of the Baxia ancestor was a mermaid? How dare they publicly auction mermaids in the Haizhu Fairy City on Baxia’s back?” Chen Jiuge found it difficult to understand. The Baxia who carried the Haizhu Fairy City on his back was at least a Golden Immortal. How dare these people do this?

After Hai Bo hesitated for a moment, he quietly leaned closer and whispered, "The Baxia Patriarch had completely lost consciousness 100,000 years ago, but the news was blocked by the Haichao Tianzong. However, cultivators with a little bit of strength, or cultivators who have lived in Haizhu Xiancheng for a period of time, actually know about it."

"Ancestor Ba Xia has lost consciousness." Chen Jiuge was shocked. This was a powerful being who was at least a Golden Immortal. How could he suddenly lose consciousness? As for the end of his lifespan, that was even more impossible. There had never been a Golden Immortal whose lifespan had run out in the heavens. Many of those Golden Immortals who shouted that they had little time left were actually still alive and well.

"Shh, Brother Chen, please keep your voice down." Hai Bo said nervously.

"Haibo, you are still so timid. There is nothing hidden in this kind of thing. Even Haichao Tianzong themselves have admitted it." Jiang Wenzhong said with disdain.

Sitting down on the seat, Jiang Wenzhong said to Jiang Huahua, "Little sister, did mother know that you came to Lingbo Pavilion secretly with Haibo?"

Jiang Huahua trembled all over and didn't know how to interrupt.

Chen Jiuge was a little displeased. Who the hell is this guy? Why did he just sit down?

"Boy, who are you to dare to sit in our seat?" Dabai said arrogantly while standing on the stool.

Jiang Wenzhong pointed at himself in confusion and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

"Besides you, are there others?" Dabai pushed up his sunglasses, shook off the big gold chain around his neck, and said arrogantly. "Ah, ha, you actually said me? Don't you know who I am?" Jiang Wenzhong was stunned. He was the young master of the Jiang family, and there was actually someone in Haizhu Fairy City who dared to be so arrogant to him.

"Boy, do you know what you're talking about?"

Dabai is indeed Chen Jiuge's spiritual beast. He directly expressed Chen Jiuge's thoughts: "I don't care who you are. Go away and pay for the snacks you ate before you get out of here."

Jiang Wenzhong laughed angrily, and the spiritual energy in his body began to surge. He wanted to attack in public, but he was pinned down by a female cultivator. The female cultivator was not outstanding in appearance, but her eyes were sharp: "Young Master Jiang, you are not going to attack me in Lingbo Pavilion, are you?"

Feeling the severe pain in his shoulder, Jiang Wenzhong forced a smile and said, "How could that be?"

Looking at Jiang Wenzhong who left in a panic, the female cultivator bowed slightly and said, "No one will disturb us in Lingbo Pavilion."

Chen Jiuge nodded in thanks.

As this little episode passed, the auction of the two mermaids on the stage had reached a fever pitch.

"One million high-quality spirit stones." A majestic voice came from the private room.

"The head of the Jiang family?" someone asked in surprise.

"Jiang family?" Chen Jiuge raised the corner of his mouth when he heard that.

"Dabai, call out the price."

"Me?" Dabai asked excitedly.

"Ah."

"Two million high-quality spirit stones!!!"

Dabai jumped onto the table and shouted arrogantly.

Chen Jiuge was confused. They asked for one million, but you doubled it? Do you know how to bid?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Jiuge's table. Chen Jiuge drank a mouthful of spirit wine numbly and said, "Two million high-quality spirit stones."

My own child, I can’t embarrass myself, it’s just a few million high-grade spirit stones!!!

Everyone present was silent until someone from the Jiang family's box raised a question: "When did the scum in the hall come up with two million high-quality spirit stones? I need to verify my capital."

Amidst many questioning gazes, Chen Jiuge calmly handed a useless treasure to the female cultivator who had just stopped Jiang Wenzhong.

The female cultivator looked at Chen Jiuge in surprise, then nodded to Tian Yiyi on the stage, indicating that the assets were sufficient.

"Okay, this customer offers two million high-quality spirit stones. I wonder if there is a higher offer?" Tian Yiyi looked a little excited. She didn't expect that a legendary blessing from the sea god could be sold for so many spirit stones.

I have checked this sea pearl myself. Apart from being able to glow on the seabed and having a slight spiritual energy, it is no different from the night pearls in the mortal world. The only difference is that it can be produced in endless quantities. However, this has no value at all.

"Two million and one million"

"three million"

Looking at the shocked eyes of many monks, Dabai felt that his life as a beast was complete. So... so this is the feeling of being an idol. Master, thank you so much. I will definitely perform well.

The auction was still going on, and the head of the Jiang family obviously didn't want to lose face, even if it meant spending a few more spirit stones.

Until Dabai shouted out the sky-high price of ten million high-quality spirit stones.

Chen Jiuge no longer felt anything now. The words had already been spoken, and it would be a bit impolite to take them back, but it did feel good to pretend to be cool.

"Ten million high-quality spirit stones for the third time. Congratulations to this little guest. Thank you to the two mermaids this time." Tian Yiyi winked at Chen Jiuge.

The female cultivator who had not left yet whispered, "Dear guest, our Pavilion Master invites you."

"Let's go." Chen Jiuge was led by the female cultivator to a red room.

Tian Yiyi, wearing a veil, looked at Chen Jiuge with a springy face and said, "Which sect are you from, fellow Taoist? The Ten Thousand Beast Sect or the Xinghe Holy Land? Or even farther away?"

"Can't I just be a casual cultivator?" Chen Jiuge said with some dissatisfaction. Although this woman had a good figure, her face was too worldly. Not to mention comparing with her senior sister, she couldn't even compare with Li Qiuwen.

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking." Seeing that Chen Jiuge didn't seem to like this tone, Tian Yiyi also put away her frivolous attitude.

"The Jiang family has a celestial being. Their family power is the second strongest in Haizhu Fairy City. Ordinary people dare not offend them."

"One hand handed over the money, the other hand handed over the goods, where are the two mermaids?" Chen Jiuge didn't really want to talk about the issue of identity.

Tian Yiyi clapped her hands, and several cultivators brought the two mermaids to Chen Jiuge.

"This is the token to control them." Tian Yiyi threw a token to Chen Jiuge.

After checking everything, Chen Jiuge threw out the storage bag he had just given to the female cultivator to verify her capital and said, "Two hundred True Immortal-level Infant Transformation Fruits."

"No problem. Speaking of which, we at Lingbo Pavilion have made some money. I will give you the remaining members of their clan as a small change."

“By the way, fellow Daoist, be careful, the Jiang family’s Patriarch is not a generous person, so of course no one in Haizhu Fairy City dares to take action.

After putting these mermaids into his portable cave, Chen Jiuge left without saying a word. It was obvious that this woman had bad intentions.

"Master, why do you want to meet him in person? I don't think this man will live long." The female cultivator said with some dissatisfaction.

“Xiao Tuan, you don’t understand. The heaven is very big. Our Haichao Tianzong is not the strongest. On the contrary, we are very weak. The nearest Wanshoumen and Xinghe Holy Land can easily destroy us. If we hadn’t reached an external agreement with the Bihai Xianzong, we would not be able to occupy the Three Light Domains.” Tian Yiyi said with deep eyes.

"Master, do you suspect that this cultivator is from one of these two sects?"

"It's not just a doubt, it's a certainty. Those two little kids are definitely spiritual beasts. Only people from the Wanshou Sect would bring little kids with them when traveling. It's best to recognize them." Tian Yiyi said disdainfully.

Because of the sect's skills and methods for breeding spirit beasts, when disciples of the Wanshou Sect travel, they always carry spirit beasts in the form of baby babies with them. As for locking the spirit beasts in their bags, basically few disciples do anything about it. As for why, don't ask; the answer is that they have deep feelings for the spirit beasts.
