Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengyuan was not one to be coy, and he quickly overcame his mental hurdle, thinking that he could return it later, since the dragon bone was very important to him at the moment.

The following items became increasingly valuable, and Chu Shengfan made several bids, acquiring a few pieces that he found quite satisfactory.

As the bidding for yet another item concluded, the vanished old pavilion master reappeared, smiling as he looked towards the guests.

"We've finally reached the last item. I know many of you came here specifically for this, so I won't waste any more time and words to keep you all entertained. Let's just show this last item."

"boom"

With an invisible tremor, the atmosphere of the entire auction hall changed in an instant.

An unidentified crystal stone appeared in mid-air, with a small pool of bright red liquid, resembling blood, sealed in its center.

Its faint smell of blood could still be smelled through the crystal jade, and the faint red color filled the entire auction space, making the misty fairy environment seem like a hellish hell.

The invisible pressure that had just descended also came from this small pool of blood sealed within the crystal stone.

"A clump of essence blood from a King-rank Origin Beast, the Patrol Eagle King. Obtaining it may grant one a glimpse into the King-rank realm. Or perhaps you, esteemed guests, have other uses for it."

The starting bid is 10,000 Source Crystals.

Source crystals are a higher-level form of currency than source spirit stones, and the energy they contain is sufficient for domain-level and evolution-level source beasts to absorb.

One Source Crystal is equal to one hundred Source Spirit Stones.

Upon seeing this last item, Chu Shengfan knew that they were no longer eligible to compete for it.

Bidding directly with source crystals already means that for this last item, the family will have to bring out its true resources.

The Chu family has a shallow foundation and clearly lacks the resources and strength to participate in this matter.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before only a few elderly people who were placed at the very front participated in the competition.

"Millions of Source Crystals".

"One and a half million source crystals."

……

As long as one has even the slightest connection with a king, there is no one in the entire Jingyuan Dynasty who is not expensive.

Chu Shengfan frowned slightly, then suddenly seemed to realize something, and stood up abruptly, saying to Chu Shengyuan and Nan Li beside him:

"We went to collect the items we purchased and then left."

Chu Shengyuan and Nan Li both looked at Chu Shengfan with puzzled expressions. "Why? We don't have the money to bid, so let's see who gets this last item, okay?"

Although Princess Nanli had the strength to participate, it was really useless for her family to have King-level essence blood. Her grandfather had collected quite a lot of King-level essence blood into the family treasury over the years.

Looking at the two silly children, Chu Shengfan explained softly, "After the auction ends, this place will probably become a hotbed of trouble. If we don't leave now, we'll get involved and it will be a real problem."

After Chu Shengfan's reminder, the two finally realized, "Brother, you mean someone is going to kill us and steal our treasure?"

Seeing Chu Shengfan nod, Chu Shengyuan and Nan Li's faces didn't show fear, but rather a kind of excitement.

Regarding these two demonic orbs, Chu Shengfan had to make his tone serious.

"Now, immediately, follow me and leave this place."

Not to mention Chu Shengyuan, even Princess Nanli was intimidated by Chu Shengfan's imposing aura.

Chu Shengfan led the two of them, gently landing on solid ground. Guided by staff, they exchanged their winnings from the auction.

"Two million Source Crystals."

"Two million two hundred thousand source crystals"

Amidst the constant calls for price increases, I left the space that had been created.

Once outside, the atmosphere became even more strange, as many figures that did not resemble servants were suddenly standing in the air nearby.

Numerous divine thoughts firmly locked down this single exit, clearly awaiting the outcome of the final auction.

The three returned to their palace, which was far removed from this space. Chu Shengyuan stood at the palace entrance, looking towards the distant mountain.

"Did the Treasure Pavilion anticipate this situation when they chose this location for the auction?"

Chu Shengfan's eyes showed a hint of contemplation. "I'm afraid the city lord here, even the dean of our academy, and the powerful families among them all know about this."

As long as it doesn't affect the city, whoever gets the last royal blood will have to rely on their own methods.

I reckon a big shot will fall today because of this.

A hint of regret flickered in Chu Shengyuan's eyes. "Is it really worth it for a piece of royal blood?"

Nan Li, standing to the side, nodded in agreement. Her family had plenty of the essence blood of the king beast, so she didn't think it was necessary.

Chu Shengfan chuckled and shook his head, "In Jingyuan, apart from the two royal families, no other force has the capability to obtain materials from such a king-level beast."

Why wouldn't these ancient families, which have been passed down for thousands of years, use part of their family's resources to obtain royal blood for research in order to have a chance of advancement?

Especially for families with patriarchs nearing the end of their lifespans, their actions might become even more extreme in order to prevent their family's rank from dropping.

Chu Shengfan's palace was positioned at the city wall, allowing him to enter the city at any time.

Meanwhile, the auction over there finally seemed to have reached a conclusion.

Each family seemed to have its own unique way of communicating, and the atmosphere outside the golden archway had changed significantly.

The area near that sky was eroded by the auras of various Domain Rank and Evolution Rank Contract Masters, causing it to change color.

In some places, winter snow was falling, in others, flames were raging, and in still others, thunder was raging. This was the first time Chu Shengyuan had ever seen so many domain skills being used in the same area.

The golden archway shattered completely at that moment, and the temporary auction space seemed unable to maintain stability in such an environment.

The figures that were just in the auction room suddenly appeared in this space covered by various fields.

At the same time, various kinds of source beasts also appeared. After an old man appeared, the various source beasts attacked instantly without warning.

There were those who came to ambush and kill, and those who came to welcome them. Various colorful lights exploded in that area in an instant. If Chu Shengyuan were to describe the scene, he could only say that it was a complete mess.

"Hiss, brother, these noble families who usually seem so civilized are actually so barbaric at times like this."

Seeing the battle stance that looked like it could flatten the mountain, Chu Shengyuan felt that his usual demonic behavior was nothing compared to this; he was practically a harmless little rabbit.

The battle had only lasted a minute or two when a source beast the size of a giant mountain fell from the sky, seemingly killed and lifeless.

The sky seemed to have rained blood; with such a high level of blood irrigating the area, the lush green hills and fields instantly turned into scorched earth and gray mountains.

After the death of the first Source Beast, one after another Source Beasts fell to the ground. The usually high-ranking Domain Rank and Evolution Rank Contract Masters died silently in this battlefield.

Chu Shengfan glanced at the battlefield and saw it gradually expanding, even showing a tendency to spread towards the city wall.

He spoke decisively, "Let's go, the situation is getting more and more complicated."

As he spoke, he instructed the palace guards, who were still stunned, to urge the ice lotus beneath the palace to rush towards the academy.

Chu Shengyuan stood at the back of the palace, on a lotus leaf, taking one last look in the direction of the battlefield. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if the barrier protecting Qianling City had cracked open.
