Spirit beasts were divided into three, six, and nine grades. No matter how much effort was put into nurturing low-grade spirit beasts, it was impossible for them to become high-grade spirit beasts.
The Ancient Serpent Egg that was being auctioned now should be an Ancient Serpent Egg.
Once this kind of snake egg hatched, the snake beast would immediately reach the third stage, and its potential would not be much lower than that of a Divine Beast. In the future, it could also reach the ninth stage or even the tenth stage, so its value was naturally extraordinary.
As soon as the auction item was announced, the auctioneer on the high platform pulled down the red cloth on a jade tray, revealing a silver snake egg. There were waves of intense light rippling around the snake egg. It was obvious that this was a snake egg that was about to hatch.
Many people in the audience immediately became restless.
"An Ancient Snake Egg, this is a good thing, but I don't know what attribute it is. From the light it emits, it seems to be of the water attribute!"
"No matter what attribute it is, it's worth it to give it to an outstanding junior. As long as you are willing to spend the capital, it should be able to be nurtured to the tenth stage."
"I want three million divine crystals. God knows if this snake egg can hatch or not, everyone should consider it carefully!"
"What a nice way to put it. I don't lack these divine crystals, three million and one hundred thousand!"
… …
Nowadays, it was not easy to find high-level spirit beasts. Apart from Divine Beasts, those that could reach the tenth stage were some mutated spirit beasts or ancient spirit beasts. In modern times, reaching the eighth or ninth stage was already the limit.
Therefore, the Godkings present all saw its potential and wanted to buy it and nurture it.
After all, the lifespan of a Godking was already endless, so they could have more time to plan for their descendants.
At the location of the six silver snakes, Gamma Aurigae stared greedily at the snake egg and said, "This is a good thing. Brothers, we must take it."
The reason why they were called the Righteous Snake Sect was because they all had snakes as their companions, and their protective spirit beasts were also snake beasts.
And this Ancient Snake Egg in front of them naturally became their favorite thing.
"That's only natural. This kind of treasure is hard to come by even in a thousand years. I really didn't expect that there would be someone willing to take it out for auction." Gamma Aurigae's eyes shone brightly. Then, he called out a bid, "My Snake Righteous Sect bids 4,000,000 Divinity Crystals. I hope that everyone will let me win!"
The Righteous Snake Sect was quite famous in the Heavenly Dragon Domain. Although it could not compare to those superpowers, it was not an existence that ordinary people could challenge.
Originally, there was a moment of silence in the hall. It seemed that everyone had some reservations.
However, a voice rang out. "The Righteous Snake Sect is nothing. This young master bids 4.5 million divine crystals!"
Everyone looked toward the source of the arrogant voice and saw an excessively beautiful man gently waving a white paper fan. His eyes were filled with arrogance.
However, most of the people present were Godking experts. Their eyesight was astonishing, so they could tell with a single glance that the handsome man was merely a woman.
"This little girl sure has a big mouth. Is she not afraid of biting her tongue?" Gamma Aurigae Five glared at Lie Ruyu. Then, he called out, "4,600,000!"
Lie Ruyu was very angry. "You're the little girl. Your whole family is made up of little girls. I bid 5,000,000!"
"You …" Gamma Aurigae Five was very angry. He wanted to retort, but Zeta Aurigae said, "This little girl is not an ordinary person. Let's start the bidding first. If it doesn't work out, then we'll try something else!"
Gamma Aurigae Five helplessly glared at Lie Ruyu. Then, he continued to increase the price.
However, in terms of wealth, no one here could compare to Lie Ru Yu, this little rich lady.
She had forcefully raised the price of this Ancient Snake Egg to 8,000,000 Divinity Crystals. The six Silver Snake Monarchs had no choice but to give up.
"You can't even withstand a single blow from this young master!"
Lie Ruyu was very happy. Then, she whispered to Ling Xiao, "Is this the right way to bid?"
"Yes, it's absolutely right. Once the Eldest Miss appears, who can compete!" Ling Xiao said with a thumbs up.
He thought to himself, "I think I'm the young master. Why is the limelight being stolen by her?"
Lie Ruyu said happily, "Hehe, you're too right. However, I'm not the Eldest Miss. I have an elder sister. Call me by my name in the future."
"Yes, it's Eldest Miss. I won't call you Eldest Miss anymore!" Ling Xiao said very obediently.
Ryoei's face turned greener. He doubted if it was the right decision to let Ling Xiao hook up with Ruyu. Why did he feel that Ruyu had been tricked by this kid?
"Alright, this Ancient Snake Egg has been bought by this young master for 8,000,000 Divinity Crystals. The next item is a divine technique that was excavated from an ancient tomb. However, this technique has a powerful restriction. Even the Great God Kings couldn't open it. You can imagine what kind of divine technique this is.
The starting price is ten million Divinity Crystals. Each bid must be at least one million! "The sexy auctioneer caressed her soft breasts as she spoke.
When the auctioneer finished, everybody's eyes had turned red. They all looked greedy.
It was a divine technique that even the God Kings couldn't break. It wasn't hard to imagine how powerful it was.
Everybody thought of the ultimate experts at the Incipient God Realm.
Those who could reach that realm were already the most powerful existences. No one could doubt their heaven-defying godly abilities. Their restrictions were definitely not something that a God King could break.
If it was a divine technique left by an Incipient God Realm expert, its value would be immeasurable.
Ten million Divinity Crystals was definitely worth it.
After the first one made a bid, everybody else became crazy.
The price of the item rose continuously, reaching an unprecedented height.
Ma Ying, the Chief of Bandits in a corner of the field, smiled coldly. He thought to himself, "Fight for it. Fight for it. In the end, it will come back to me!"
"Should we bid for it?"
Lie Ruyu rubbed her fists and feet as she asked Ling Xiao. Apparently, she wanted to compete with the others.
"Of course …" As Ling Xiao was about to answer, Ryoei coughed, interrupting Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao wasn't an idiot. He knew what Ryoei was hinting at. He forced a smile and said, "Of course, we can't bid for it. It's too expensive. I don't know if it's useful or not. Let the others fight for it until they bleed."
"You're right. But … if people are fighting for it so fiercely, it must be a good treasure. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't bid for it?" Lie Ruyu was naive, but she wasn't a fool.
Ryoei said, "Miss, it's possible that it's a scam. Even if we unseal it, it's just an ordinary scroll. We don't need it."
As Ryoei had spoken, Lie Ruyu didn't want to bid for it.
After a fierce bidding war, a Peak God King finally bought the scroll for three thousand five hundred divine crystals.
This Peak God King immediately became the target of everyone. Once he left this place, he would be targeted by many God Kings because they wanted to reap without sowing.
However, since this Peak God King had the guts to bid for it, he was confident that he could take it away.
"Alright, now it's time for the finale." The auctioneer kept everyone in suspense.
Immediately after, ten strong men entered the arena at the same time. Each of them held a weapon in their hands. The weapon emitted a strong light that flickered in the spacious stone room.
Everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
Ryoei's eyes were shining with excitement.
"How dare you. You really took out our Merchant Union's divine weapon to auction." Ryoei cursed in his heart.
"There are a total of ten different divine weapons here. However, they won't be auctioned one by one. Instead, they will be auctioned in a bundle. The starting price is fifty million divine crystals. Each increment must be no less than one million." The auctioneer made a flirtatious gesture.
Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar again.
"Ten divine weapons. How generous. Who's the seller? Who's willing to pay so much?"
"What a pity. It would be great if they could auction one by one. They're actually auctioning it in a bundle. Who can take out fifty million divine crystals in one go?"
"That's hard to say. There are many leaders of major clans here. They can definitely take it."
"Ten divine weapons, even if they're low-level ones, can increase any force's combat power. If I had divine crystals, I would also take it."
…
Fifty million divine crystals was indeed not something anyone could take out.
Without a strong backer, it would not be easy to earn so many Divine Crystals.
Therefore, only people from a few forces participated in the bidding.
This time, Ryoei had no choice but to let Lie Ruyi participate in the auction.
This was because these were the divine weapons that they had lost before. Now that they were being auctioned here, it was a slap in the face.
Not only did they want to regain their face, but they also wanted to take back what they had lost.
Lie Ruyu naturally knew that this matter concerned the reputation of the Merchant Alliance. She immediately said solemnly, "No matter the price, I will definitely get it."
Hearing this, Ryoei had no choice but to say guiltily, "If it's more than a hundred million divine crystals, then forget it!"
Back then, the ten divine weapons that the Merchant Alliance had sold from the Divine Axe Gang were only worth eighty million divine crystals. If they were to sell them, they could double that price.
It was just that they were auctioning something that belonged to them again. If the price was too outrageous, it would naturally not be worth it.
Moreover, Ryoei had only brought so many divine crystals with him. If Lie Ruyu suddenly called out two hundred million divine crystals, he would probably have to sell himself here.
"Alright, one hundred million it is. Although it's a little less, I think it should be enough!" Lie Ruyu was somewhat dissatisfied.
Ten divine weapons being auctioned together was very attractive. The price quickly rose from fifty million to seventy million divine crystals.
This price had already scared off many people.
In addition to Lie Ruyi, people from the Snake Loyalty Sect and two other forces also followed up with a bid.
However, Ryoei noticed that one of the people who bid was probably from the Bloodthirsty Roving Bandits. That person only wanted to raise the price and would not take it down.
In the end, Lie Ruyu shouted in a very extravagant manner, "I bid one hundred million!"
Her exhalation silenced everyone present.
