Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Soon the other two auction items also fell into the hands of other people.

Each item in the auction sold for over a million dollars.

However, these two items were of little use to Yu Changsheng. He only joined in the fun by bidding once and then stopped participating.

Soon it was time for the fourth item to be auctioned.

The items up for auction this time appear to be significantly larger.

He was even taller than the host, Rong Meier.

Many people present were also attracted by this huge toy.

"Heh, I didn't expect the auction items to be so large this time?"

"I wonder what's inside?"

"Could it be some kind of enormous magical artifact? Or some gigantic spirit beast?"

"The items in this auction have really piqued my curiosity."

Rongmeier stretched out his arm and tore off the cloth covering the huge auction item.

Immediately, a large number of divine senses went to investigate, but these people were all extremely strange.

Because they couldn't sense any presence inside that box.

I couldn't sense any fluctuations in magical power.

This only made everyone more confused.

"What's with all this mystery? It's really annoying."

On the eastern table, a young man scratched his head, looking impatient.

This person is Xuan Yuanqin, the eldest son of one of the four major families in Sanling Town.

Xuanyuan Qin asked, "Xiao Rong, tell me what the auction items are this time? I'm getting impatient."

Rong Meier smiled slightly in the direction of Xuanyuan Qin.

"Young Master Xuanyuan, please don't be anxious."

"Please take a look and see if anyone can tell what's inside this box."

Xuanyuan Qin scoffed, "If I could tell, would I need to ask you? You're really wasting my patience."

A dark-skinned, robust woman on the west side scoffed, "What an idiot! There's clearly an array on that box to conceal divine sense."

"Do you even need to tell me?"

This person is Xie Quanling, one of the four major families.

Many people looked at the woman on the high platform after hearing her words.

It's fine if you don't look, but once you do, some people are immediately startled.

This woman was not only tall and imposing, but also nearly two meters tall.

His appearance was almost masculine, with dark skin.

He was incredibly muscular, even stronger than many men, completely overshadowing the guards beside him.

Such a chilling image, yet it comes from a woman's voice, which is truly astonishing.

Lu Erhu was even more startled when he saw the woman.

"Damn, how can this woman be so terrifying? Luckily, I don't have to marry a woman like this."

Yu Changsheng glanced at him and chuckled softly:

"You wish! She's the daughter of one of the four great families. No matter what she looks like, there are plenty of men who want to marry her and use the opportunity to rise to the top."

"It's not even your turn to marry her, so don't worry."

Lu Erhu chuckled, "Hehe, I don't have that kind of idea."

"I'd rather spend every day with a woman like that just to enjoy wealth and luxury. I'd prefer to be free."

On the upper stands, Xuan Yuanqin and Xie Quanling started arguing.

However, the content of their argument was truly unbearable to hear, and it was hard to imagine that both of them came from prominent families.

The white-robed old man on the high platform in the north frowned repeatedly upon hearing this.

It's hard to imagine that the younger generation of these two families would be so rude and unscrupulous.

The girl standing next to him frowned repeatedly after hearing this.

"Grandpa, how can those two be so rude?"

The white-robed elder said, "These four great families are merely newly emerging forces in recent years, nothing more."

The girl listened from the side, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Fortunately, at this time, Narongmer also played his part.

Seeing that the two had almost finished arguing, he immediately stepped in to change the subject.

"Alright, since no one can guess what will be auctioned this time, let me reveal the mystery to you all!"

Soon someone opened the box.

To everyone's surprise, the box contained only a fox.

The fox seemed frightened and immediately shrank into a corner.

"Could the item up for auction this time be that fox spirit beast?"

"But I don't think that fox has any magical power fluctuations. Could I be mistaken?"

"No, this fox isn't even a spirit beast; it's just an ordinary wild animal."

"How could a wild beast possibly be brought to an auction of this caliber? Isn't this a joke?"

Rongmeier arrived in front of the huge box.

He waved to the fox and then used the food in his hand to lure the fox closer.

Lured by the smell of food, the fox eventually cautiously approached Rongmeier and was picked up by her.

However, the moment the fox was led out of the box's range...

Only then did everyone present sense the fox's aura; it was indeed a first-tier spirit beast, not an ordinary wild animal.

At this moment, some discerning people have already noticed something amiss.

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly and smiled, "Hehe, I didn't expect there to be such methods. They are quite impressive."

Lu Erhu, standing to the side, still couldn't quite understand it. His cultivation level wasn't high enough to see through the fox's cultivation.

He just felt that the fox's cultivation level was weaker than his.

"Mr. Zhou, what exactly is going on?"

"Could that fox really be the item up for auction? Or is it a joke? Or is this fox spirit beast an extremely rare breed?"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "I don't know if fox spirit beasts are rare. Actually, the real item up for auction this time is that huge box!"

"Box?"

Lu Erhu was puzzled.

Yu Changsheng said, "When the fox was in the box, no one could detect that there was a living creature inside."

"After the box was opened, everyone realized that there was actually an ordinary fox or wild animal inside."

"But when the fox came out of the box, it was completely no longer hidden, and everyone realized that it was a first-tier spirit beast."

"In other words, that box has an extremely strong ability to conceal its interior."

"Even if you put a spirit beast or something else inside, people from the outside won't be able to detect anything at all, and might even think there's nothing there."

"That's the real value of that box; it might be used to store some precious items."

"What's most remarkable is that a living creature can be preserved inside, and it looks to be in good condition. It's clear that the box has almost no effect on what's inside."

Yu Changsheng's explanation finally made Lu Erhu understand.

"I see. In that case, this box is indeed priceless."

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "It's more than priceless. For those who need it, it's practically priceless."

"This auction is expected to be quite exciting, and the price may even reach tens of millions."

"That's outrageous? Is this thing really that valuable?" Lu Erhu asked in surprise.

Ke Jianwuxing wholeheartedly agrees.

"If people can also hide inside, they can even escape the pursuit of others. This kind of effect will definitely drive many people crazy."

"The only thing we can't be sure of is how high a cultivator's level this box can block from detection."

"If even Nascent Soul or Void Refinement cultivators can't see through it, this box is definitely worth more than ten million spirit stones."

After everyone realized the true purpose of the box.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

A fierce bidding war immediately ensued, with the four families continuously placing their bids.

The price quickly reached an outrageous level, amounting to five million spirit stones.

It surpasses the sum of all previous items.

But there's still no intention of stopping.

Yu Changsheng was also somewhat interested in the box, but unfortunately, he didn't have the financial means to pursue it, so he could only keep it as a companion.

"Eight million spirit stones!"

Xuanyuan Qin shouted loudly.

Xie Quanling on the other side was not to be outdone and directly offered a price of ten million spirit stones.

Xuan Yuanqin, seething with hatred, roared again, "Thirteen million spirit stones!"

"That damn bitch, she's always going against me!"

However, this price did not last long before it was surpassed by Xie Quanling again.

Other bidders could have participated.

However, they gradually realized something was wrong and immediately stopped bidding.

Anyone who gets involved at this point is practically asking if they have too much money.

Moreover, many people did not want to go against the four major families, so they stopped bidding.

The competition between Xie Quanling and Xuan Yuanqin quickly reached the mark of 20 million spirit stones.

Xuanyuan Qin gritted her teeth and bid again, this time offering 23 million spirit stones.

Even he would frown at this price, although he could easily afford it.

However, it will be much more difficult to bid on other items later.

Xie Quanling, on the other hand, eventually stopped bidding.

It wasn't that she couldn't afford the price, but rather that she was more composed than Xuanyuan Qin and hadn't completely lost her head.

"Fool, this thing is worth 23 million spirit stones? I'm telling you, you really are a fool."

Xie Quanling on the other side continued to mock her, which further angered Xuan Yuanqin.

"Hmph, you poor woman, if you can't afford it, don't make a sound. I have plenty of spirit stones, unlike you, who doesn't even have the spirit stones but still wants to compete with me? You're asking for death."

Rong Meier immediately spoke up to stop the two from continuing their obstruction, saying, "Congratulations to guest number 666 for successfully bidding on this item!"

"Now, let's take a short break and then look at the next item up for auction."

inside the room.

Lu Erhu took a sip of the fruit and savored it briefly.

"I never imagined that box could sell for twenty million. It's absolutely terrifying."

"At this price, you could buy a fourth or even fifth-tier magic weapon."

"Tsk tsk, all I can say is that the wealthy people from these big families really do have a different level of generosity."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Hehe, maybe they don't lack magic weapons, but they lack this kind of treasure."

Yu Changsheng then looked at Jian Wuxing.

This person has become increasingly intriguing to Yu Changsheng.

Logically speaking, he spent five thousand spirit stones to buy Yu Changsheng's spot and this quota, so he shouldn't have come just to watch the show.

But now that half the auction has passed, he still hasn't made a single bid.

This made Yu Changsheng wonder what exactly he wanted to buy.

Are you just here to watch the show?

Yu Changsheng couldn't understand why a rogue cultivator would spend five thousand spirit stones just to watch the spectacle.

Jian Wuxing noticed Yu Changsheng's gaze and asked:

"Why are you looking at me, Mr. Zhou?"

Taking this opportunity, Yu Changsheng asked directly:

"Now that you've come to this auction house, won't you at least place a bid?"

Jian Wuxing said, "There are at least a hundred people here, but there are only ten items for auction. It's impossible for everyone to have a chance to successfully bid on an item."

Although Yu Changsheng understood this principle, he wondered if a rogue cultivator would really spend five thousand spirit stones just to join in the fun.

Seeing that Yu Changsheng was still suspicious, Jian Wuxing explained:

"You may not know this, but most people who come here are just here to watch the show."

"But for us independent cultivators, it's an opportunity."

Yu Changsheng asked in surprise, "Oh? What opportunity?"

Jian Wuxing asked in surprise, "Don't you know?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head; he had never heard of this before.

Jian Wuxing looked at Lu Erhu beside him, "You don't know either?"

Lu Erhu gave an awkward smile and could only say, "I have heard of it, but I can never be completely sure. Naturally, I wouldn't dare to speak recklessly."

Jian Wuxing said, "On the contrary, everyone who is able to enter the final round of the auction will automatically receive an opportunity to visit the City Lord's Mansion."

"For independent cultivators, this is an opportunity to join the City Lord's Mansion. As long as they demonstrate sufficient strength, they have a chance to gain the City Lord's Mansion's recognition."

"This is undoubtedly the greatest temptation for independent cultivators."

After hearing this, Yu Changsheng finally understood why so many people would spend five thousand spirit stones to come and join in the fun. It turned out there was a reason for this.

In that case, it's not surprising.

For some people who practice asceticism in seclusion for many years, it is inevitable that they will want to settle down after a long time.

Especially some powerful independent cultivators.

Once you reach a certain level, it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain sufficient cultivation resources.

At this point, joining a sect or organization based on one's own strength is the best solution.

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Could it be that you, Lu Erhu, also have this idea?"

Lu Erhu smiled wryly, "How could someone of my strength possibly be of interest to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I'm just going to join in the fun. Being able to watch those rogue cultivators fight each other is enough for me."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly; this was a good opportunity for him.

It wasn't that he wanted to join the city lord's mansion, but rather that he wanted to use this opportunity to better understand Sanling Town.

In particular, Wang Donghai's son, Wang Haitang, might appear at that gathering.

That would also be Yu Changsheng's best opportunity to see how capable this person truly was. (End of Chapter)
