Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 33 Azure Ghost Fire, First Meeting with Zhao Manyan

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

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

"The final, grand prize: a top-grade fire-type soul seed—the Azure Netherfire, with its power amplified sixfold. This flame is drawn from a fire vein three thousand meters underground."

When discussing this Asian item, the auctioneer clearly put in much more effort than before.

This single item can be worth several of the previous items, so if the auctioneer wants a promotion and a raise, they naturally have to work hard to get a high price.

"Starting bid is one billion, with each bid increment no less than twenty million!"

"One billion!"

The room erupted in uproar; the starting price alone scared away most people.

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

"One billion five hundred million!"

"1.1 billion!"

"."

Soon, the people sitting in the front row started bidding. Those who could afford such a price either had powerful backgrounds or extremely strong abilities.

There are also differences between high-level mages. Some high-level mages can only kill demons at the level of generals, while the top high-level mages can fight demons at the level of commanders.

For example, a hunter mage who has reached the level of a seven-star hunter master is not much weaker than a mage who has just entered the super-level.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people raised their bids, and the final price reached 1.38 billion!

"1.4 billion!!"

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

Even in a big city like Shanghai, fire-type natural soul seeds are extremely rare. They are probably only seen frequently at international auctions.

During this period, Xu Beichen would check online every day for any fire-type soul seed auctions, all in order to find a suitable soul fire.

The people sitting at the front all looked back, and Xu Beichen was sitting in the middle, which surprised them.

Besides, their youthful appearance also surprised them greatly.

"Could this person be a disciple of some powerful sorcerer who has cast forbidden spells?"

This thought involuntarily popped into their minds; they couldn't find any other explanation.

It's impossible for a scion of a powerful family to casually produce over a billion dollars; even the Zhao family couldn't do it!

The eldest son of the Zhao family has no magical talent, and the second son of the Zhao family has only awakened magic two or three years ago, so it is impossible for him to reach a high level.

No matter how large and powerful the Zhao family is, it's impossible for them to hand over billions to their descendants.

Upon realizing this, the group tacitly put the sign down; this is the way of human relationships.

The ocean crisis has not yet erupted, and the price of Soul Seeds has not risen significantly; 1.4 billion is already close to the limit for Soul Seeds.

Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the auction item.

With the final item sold, the auction came to a close.

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

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

Mo Fan!

"Brother Xu, what are you doing here?"

Mo Fan was surprised to see Xu Beichen's reaction. There was another man next to him, who was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament.

"Zhao Manyan!!"

The name popped into Xu Beichen's mind in an instant.

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

"I'm here to buy something, what about you?" Xu Beichen replied with a faint smile.

"Oh, I'm here to sell something: a Warrior-level Soul Essence!"

As soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and took the initiative to introduce, "Brother Xu, this is a friend of mine—Zhao Manyan."

"Zhao Manyan, who is this?"

Before Mo Fan could finish speaking, Zhao Manyan stepped forward and looked at Xu Beichen, saying, "I know him, the number one genius of the main campus of Pearl Academy, the Chaos Demon King!"

Upon hearing the title "Great Demon King of Chaos," Xu Beichen's lips twitched. He could accept the title occasionally, but hearing it so often felt really strange.

Xu Beichen knew very well that he was not the number one genius at all; Ding Yumin was the real number one genius.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

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

"These are all just empty titles."

Xu Beichen waved his hand dismissively.

"Those scions of powerful families fight tooth and nail, yet they can only manage to come in second place," Zhao Manyan said with a hint of admiration.

"Cough cough."

Xu Beichen coughed twice and said, "If there's a chance, we can talk again. I have to go now."

After saying that, Xu Beichen turned and left.

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

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

"Do you know where he lives?"

"Azure Netherfire, possesses its own Azure Nether Domain, and also has a secondary effect."

Xu Beichen looked at the deep blue flame in his hand; this flame was much more powerful than the previous Desolate Flame.

Fire element is at the advanced level 2, Chaos element is at the advanced level 1, and both Space and Mind elements are at the intermediate level 1.

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

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

This mysterious demon tree is good, but it has a serious side effect: it's too damn edible!

In two and a half months, Xu Beichen had almost finished using up the black dragon meat; nearly half of it was eaten by the demon tree!

Feeding them with soul beast meat would be too wasteful of points, so Xu Beichen would try to go to the wilderness every weekend when he and Lingling did tasks.

The Golden Sacred Dragon stayed home to guard the Demon Tree, while the Ice Emperor served as his bodyguard, though she hadn't had a single opportunity to make a move in the past two months.

The probability of encountering a commander-level demon in the wild is extremely small; you'd only encounter one if you were incredibly unlucky. As for a monarch-level demon, it goes without saying.

The flesh of a warrior-level demon is far inferior to that of a black dragon, but it's barely enough to feed the demon tree.

In just two and a half months, Ice Emperor's spatial system had reached the third level of the initial stage, a speed that shocked Xu Beichen.

Ultimately, Xu Beichen could only attribute the reason to Hyotei's stronger mental strength.

Compared to Hyotei's abnormal cultivation speed, Mu Nuxin's cultivation speed is quite normal. She has only managed to control the fifth star so far, and that is with the help of controlling the magic weapon.

Besides her training speed, Hyotei also learns very quickly, having already mastered the basic knowledge gained from nine years of magic education.
