The Master of Beasts-Chapter 514 - 115: Auction Finale (Part 2)

"Three Divine Crystals."

As the opening, the value of the Bright Light Holy Butterfly isn’t as simple as Chen Jiuge made it seem; the actual price is higher, so someone made a move right away.

"Five." A sweet and sultry voice came from the third-floor room.

Some knowledgeable disciples in the hall were a bit suspicious and said: "This voice, it seems like that Outer Sect Steward?"

"You think so too, right? This kind of alluring voice can only belong to Water Steward Shuibing."

Chen Jiuge on stage was moved; the elders of the Five Elements Sect, whether Outer or Inner Sect, basically had Heavenly Immortal Cultivation; the difference was just in strength, and the Outer Sect Stewards were some cultivators at the pinnacle of True Immortal. Due to limited talent, their chances of breaking through to Heavenly Immortal were very low, so they would strive to obtain the position of Outer Sect Steward to gain more resources.

"Anyone bidding higher?" Scanning the room, no one responded, and Chen Jiuge was somewhat disappointed as he tapped the hammer: "Then the Bright Light Holy Butterfly goes to Room 302."

One Spiritual Beast after another appeared on the auction stage; apart from the initial Bright Light Holy Butterfly, the others, although of rare bloodline, comparatively to the value of a Divine Crystal, were worth one or two at most.

"Phew"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jiuge’s hand exerted force, and the small hammer emitted a crisp sound that echoed throughout: "Next is the main attraction of this auction, don’t miss it, these are unique Mutant Spiritual Beasts, and I’m not sure if a second one can be bred!"

Top floor of Room 501

Shen Buhai stroked the Qingmu Divine Ape he got from Chen Jiuge not long ago, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him with a subtle gaze: "Chang Xi, didn’t expect you to join the young ones’ fun!"

Exuding deadly temptation, the beautiful woman had an angelic and unparalleled face.

Chang Xi reclined lazily on a sofa custom-ordered by Chen Jiuge, casually said: "I just feel there might be some opportunities here."

As the two titans chatted idly, Chen Jiuge also brought the first Mutant Spiritual Beast to the auction stage.

This was a pure white spider, but intriguingly, this spider could switch between two faces at will, holy white and demonic black!

Chen Jiuge carefully laid out several arrays before approaching to introduce: "Mutant Spirit Spider; its bloodline intensity is only slightly weaker than Pure Blood Divine Beast; it has two forms, as seen just now."

"Holy form can neutralize poisons and promote universal growth, with strong Light Attribute power, greatly suppressing Evil Path cultivators."

"Demonic form can release a powerful toxin, draw vitality from all things to nourish itself, possessing strong Dark Attribute power, greatly suppressing Righteous Path cultivators."

"I’ve named it the Good and Evil Spirit Spider; its only flaw is a very nasty temperament, unsuitable for a contract with weaker cultivators."

"True Immortal Twenty-Ninth Layer Heaven, starting price ten Divine Crystals."

The eerie scene of form transformation stunned the disciples below, and then they erupted with even greater enthusiasm; such a Spiritual Beast was extraordinary just by its appearance.

As for Chen Jiuge’s caution, the disciples present paid no mind; since the invitations were issued long ago, it was stated that the basic currency for the auction was Divine Crystals; now which attendee didn’t have some capital?

"Fifteen."

"Twenty."

"Thirty." Tian Yue on the second floor said nervously, thirty Divine Crystals were all he had recently accumulated.

"Fifty."

Even the sparsely filled third-floor room had someone start bidding!

Top floor 501

Shen Buhai was slightly amazed: "Such creations are truly miraculous!"

Chang Xi was somewhat entranced looking at the Good and Evil Spirit Spider on stage, and only after Shen Buhai called several times did she snap out of it.

"I didn’t expect to be genuinely moved here." Chang Xi said in disbelief, then casually bid: "Five hundred."

Disciples of the Five Elements Sect, who had bid up to a hundred, were instantly crushed by this price; five hundred was a significant amount, even for long-standing Outer Sect Stewards, no, even for ordinary Heavenly Immortals it was quite a fortune.

The Five Elements Divine Crystal is a treasure that can elevate a cultivator from the thirtieth level of True Immortal to the Little Heavenly Immortal level. Although it has considerable side effects, its value remains extremely high, especially due to the profound laws it contains.

The scene was silent for a long time. Chen Jiuge, seeing no one bidding, excitedly tapped the small hammer.

Meanwhile, he wondered silently in his heart, the guest at 501, Chen Jiuge knew it was Grandmaster Zeng, but the bidder was clearly a woman. Could she be Grandmaster Zeng’s lover? Or a junior?

Even though he was very curious, Chen Jiuge still continued the auction with a smile.

The remaining two mutant Spiritual Beasts were not inferior to the Good and Evil Spirit Spider. However, without heavy hitters like Chang Xi bidding, they naturally didn’t fetch the astronomical price of five hundred. Still, each averaged two hundred and twenty Divine Crystals, which was already quite good.

As for the cost of nurturing, besides the help of the Chaos Pearl, the material costs alone for these last three beasts were tremendous, with each consuming as many as fifty Divine Crystals!

With the final Spiritual Beast sold, Chen Jiuge smiled radiantly and said, "The next auction will be in ten years. Those wishing to participate should promptly order the invitation."

"Each invitation costs ten thousand kilograms of Top Grade Spiritual Stones, with a maximum purchase of three per person."

"Additionally, guests who didn’t manage to bid for their desired Spiritual Beast can choose one from the backrooms. These beasts have been meticulously nurtured by me, and I am confident they will not disappoint you."

Although the True Realm also uses spiritual energy for cultivation, compared to the Heavenly Realm, the spiritual energy in the True Realm is denser and of higher quality, similar to the distinction between acquired spiritual energy and innate spiritual energy.

The region where the Qingming Ancient Country is located has a lower concentration of spiritual energy, thus Low Grade and Middle Grade Spirit Stones exist there. On the other hand, the territory of the Five Elements Sect is different, with nearly all Spiritual Stone Mines containing Top Grade Spiritual Stones, making the price of ten thousand kilograms not exorbitant.

The auction concluded perfectly, with the last three mutant Spiritual Beasts and the initial Bright Light Holy Butterfly personally handled by Chen Jiuge.

Shuibing, dressed in a azure dress, revealing a patch of snowy white at her chest, maintained a cold demeanor, yet her innate seductive body appeared incredibly alluring.

"Is this the Bright Light Holy Butterfly?" Shuibing directly opened the cage, feeling a wave of serenity under the warm white light, which was remarkable. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Yes, Water Steward." Chen Jiuge dared not look more, slightly bowing his head.

"Remove that secret technique and preserve its spiritual wisdom," Shuibing slightly furrowed her brows, looking quite pitiful.

Fortunately, Chen Jiuge wasn’t one to be swayed by beauty, quickly undoing the secret technique.

After handing over the Divine Crystals, Shuibing paused and said, "If you ever have more Bright Light Holy Butterflies, please inform me promptly. Shall we maintain the same price as today?"

Chen Jiuge gave Shuibing a somewhat surprised look, then nodded in agreement.

The fragrance dissipated as Shen Buhai appeared silently beside Chen Jiuge, expressing some sentimentality, "This little girl, with such an Innate Seductive Body, don’t you feel tempted?"

"Grandmaster Zeng? Not tempted. I prefer nurturing Spiritual Beasts and cultivating alone," Chen Jiuge was startled but quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I’m here to collect the Good and Evil Spirit Spider. Here are the Divine Crystals." Shen Buhai shook his head somewhat oddly.

Clumsily receiving the Divine Crystals, Chen Jiuge awkwardly said, "Grandmaster Zeng, for the Spiritual Beast you want, just a word would suffice."

Shen Buhai laughed heartily, "Haha, your consideration is enough. As if I lack a few Divine Crystals, besides, it’s not even for me. Alright, I’m off."

After Shen Buhai left, Gu Zhengyu approached with an air of aloofness, his gaze somewhat complicated, "I didn’t expect Junior Chen to have joined Grandmaster Shen’s lineage."

Chen Jiuge gave Gu Zhengyu a slightly surprising look and gently shook his head.

"Senior Brother, are you here to collect the Nine-Patterned Water Snake?"

"Yes, here are the Divine Crystals, preserve its spiritual wisdom."

Chen Jiuge stored the Divine Crystals and released the Nine-Patterned Water Snake from its cage; Gu Zhengyu looked at it twice, very satisfied, contracted it on the spot, and finally left a contact method.

Chen Jiuge remarked with some sentiment, "The Nine-Patterned Water Snake and Senior Brother Gu truly seem to be a match made in heaven!"

The Nine-Patterned Water Snake resembles an elemental Spiritual Beast, appearing as a small blue snake with nine black rings. Its true form, however, is Water Element Spiritual Energy, making it resistant to physical harm, truly a nemesis to body cultivation.

"Indeed, but more than that, I’m curious about your ability, Nephew Chen, to cultivate so many powerful and unique Spiritual Beasts!"
