Versatile Mage: Are you selling soul beasts in the Magic City?

Chapter 33: Blue Phantom Fire, First Meeting with Zhao Manyan

Two and a half months later, at Zhao’s Auction House.

The entire room was packed with people. The auctioneer was explaining each item on the stage, and the people below were constantly raising the prices.

"The finale item: The ultimate fire-type Great Soul Seed—Qianlan Phantom Fire. Its power is amplified sixfold. This flame is drawn from a fire vein three thousand meters underground."

When talking about this Asian item, the auctioneer was obviously more enthusiastic in introducing it than before.

This one item alone is worth more than several of the previous ones. If the auctioneer wants to get a promotion and a raise, he naturally has to work hard to auction it off at a high price.

"The starting price is 1 billion, and each bid increase must not be less than 20 million!"

"One billion!"

The whole audience was in an uproar, and the starting price scared away most people.

They all knew that natural soul seeds would be very expensive, but this price still exceeded their expectations. The starting price was equivalent to two synthetic soul seeds!

"One billion and fifty million!"

"One billion!"

"."

Soon, several people sitting in the front row began to bid. Those who could afford this price either had a strong background or were extremely powerful.

There are also differences between high-level mages. Some high-level mages can only kill general-level monsters, while the top high-level mages can single-handedly fight against commander-level monsters.

For example, a hunter-magician whose hunter level reaches seven-star hunter master is not much worse than a mage who has just entered the super level.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer voices raising the price, and finally the price reached 1.38 billion!

"1.4 billion!!"

Xu Beichen raised the sign decisively. His fire element had been at a high level for some time and he needed a soul seed to increase his destructive power.

Even in a big city like the Magic City, natural fire soul seeds are very rare. I'm afraid that natural soul seeds can only be seen frequently at international auctions.

During this period, Xu Beichen would check online every day to see if there were any fire soul seeds being auctioned, in order to find a suitable soul fire.

The people sitting in the front row all looked back and were surprised to find that Xu Beichen was sitting in the middle.

In addition, the young face also surprised them.

"Could this person be the disciple of a certain forbidden spell master?"

This thought popped up in the minds of several people, and apart from this, they could not find any other explanation.

It is impossible for a child from a noble family to come up with more than 1 billion easily, not even the Zhao family can do it!
The eldest son of the Zhao family has no talent for magic, and the second son of the Zhao family has only awakened magic for two or three years, so it is impossible for him to reach a high level.

No matter how wealthy and powerful the Zhao family is, it is impossible for them to give out tens of billions to their children.

When they thought of this, they put the sign down in tacit understanding. This is the way of the world.

Now that the ocean crisis has not yet broken out, the price of soul seeds has not risen sharply, and 1.4 billion is already close to the limit of soul seeds.

"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning this lot."

With the completion of the last lot, the auction came to an end.

After leaving the room, Xu Beichen went to the backstage and transferred 1.4 billion, and the top-grade soul seed - Qianlan Youhuo was in his hands.

When Xu Beichen was about to leave the auction house, he ran into an acquaintance in the corridor.

Mo Fan!

"Brother Xu, why are you here?"

Mo Fan was surprised to see Xu Beichen's expression. Next to him was a handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor. "Zhao Manyan!!"

The name popped up in Xu Beichen's mind in just a moment.

Mo Fan had enrolled a year early, yet he still managed to meet Zhao Manyan. Could this be the attraction between positive and negative poles?

"I'm here to buy some things, how about you?" Xu Beichen replied with a faint smile.

"Oh, I'm here to sell something, a general-level spirit!"

Mo Fan had just finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something and offered to introduce him, "Brother Xu, this is a friend I know—Zhao Manyan."

"Zhao Manyan, this is..."

Before Mo Fan could finish, Zhao Manyan took two steps forward, looked at Xu Beichen and said, "I know him. He's the number one genius at the Pearl Academy main campus, the Chaos Demon King!"

Hearing the name Chaos Demon King, Xu Beichen's mouth twitched. It was okay to hear this title occasionally, but now it feels weird after hearing it too much.

Xu Beichen knew very well that he was not the number one genius at all, and Ding Yumian was the real number one genius.

However, in order to protect Ding Yumian, Dean Fu disguised her as a mid-level magician.

"These are just empty names."

Xu Beichen waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Those young men from aristocratic families fought tooth and nail, yet could only secure second place," Zhao Manyan said with a hint of admiration.

"Cough cough."

Xu Beichen coughed twice and said, "If there's a chance, let's talk again. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Beichen turned around and left.

Zhao Manyan looked at Mo Fan beside him and asked curiously, "Mo Fan, how did you get to know Xu Beichen?"

"It's a long story, but to put it simply, it was Brother Xu who saved our family," said Mo Fan.

"Then do you know where he lives?"

"The Dry Blue Ghost Fire has its own domain, the Dry Blue Domain, and also has an additional effect."

Xu Beichen looked at the deep blue flame in his hand. This flame was much stronger than the previous wild flame.

The Fire Element is at the advanced level 2, the Chaos Element is at the advanced level 1, and both the Space Element and the Psychic Element are at the intermediate level 1.

With his current strength, some teachers at Mingzhu Academy are no match for him.

The rapidity of his cultivation was not only due to the soul beast meat, but also thanks to the mysterious demon tree placed on the balcony.

Although this mysterious demon tree is good, it has a very serious side effect, which is that it is too damn edible!
In two and a half months, Xu Beichen had almost used up all the black dragon meat, and nearly half of it was eaten by this demon tree!
Feeding soul beasts with meat would be a waste of points, so every weekend when Xu Beichen and Lingling do tasks, they will try to go to the wild.

The Golden Holy Dragon stayed at home to guard the demon tree, and the Ice Emperor served as a bodyguard. Although he had not had a chance to take action in the past two months,
The probability of encountering a commander-level demon in the wild is very small. Basically, you will only encounter one if you are extremely unlucky, not to mention the monarch-level.

The meat of a general-level demon is far inferior to that of a black dragon, but it is barely enough to feed the demon tree.

In just two and a half months, Bingdi's space system had been cultivated to the third level of the initial stage. This speed shocked Xu Beichen.

In the end, Xu Beichen could only attribute the reason to the Ice Emperor's stronger mental power.

Compared to Bingdi's abnormal training speed, Mu Nuxin's training speed is very normal. He has only controlled the fifth star so far, and this is with the help of the magic weapon.

In addition to his training speed, Bingdi also learns very quickly and has basically mastered the knowledge of nine years of magic education.
