Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 662 - 340: Soul Settling Pill [Please Subscribe]_2

Directly opposite the stone door through which they had entered was the auction platform, equipped with a specially crafted crystal floor-to-ceiling window that allowed them to clearly see the central auction stage and some of the seating above it.

However, due to the special refining process of the crystal floor-to-ceiling window, they could not see the interior of the private rooms on the opposite side through its crystal window.

Moreover, the walls of the private room and that crystal window were designed to block Divine Sense detection, preventing their Divine Sense from probing outside the room.

But to facilitate their bidding and listening to the sound from the auction stage, a crystal ball and a conch-shaped Magic Artifact were placed inside the room.

Both these Magic Artifacts required no attunement, and to place a bid, one simply needed to take the crystal ball into one's hand, inject Mana along with Divine Sense to signify the bid amount.

The conch-shaped Magic Artifact was used to convey the sounds from the auction stage.

"Although it's a bit expensive, there are indeed benefits to the high cost. Participating in the auction from here is much safer and more comfortable than sitting in those public seats!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly and said, then seated himself in the Taishi Chair set aside.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu also took their respective seats in the chairs.

After waiting for nearly two hours, most of the seats in the auction hall had been filled.

Since it was a formal auction, the majority of the Cultivators sitting in the seats did not conceal their faces, with only a few of them covering their appearance.

At that moment, a seductive and sexy woman in a red dress floated down to the previously empty auction stage—it was clear she was today's Auctioneer.

The woman in the red dress was tall and curvaceous, her figure accentuated by her semi-transparent red dress that teased the hidden scenery beneath, exceedingly captivating.

After landing on the auction stage, she first gracefully curtseyed to all sides, then with a coquettish smile said, "My name is Li Mengyan, greetings to all fellow Daoists."

Her voice was soft and carried a touch of seductiveness, akin to the laughter of a fox.

After such an introduction, the woman in the red dress casually began with some polite small talk and then moved on to explain the rules of the auction.

Clearly aware that few were interested in hearing this, she sped through the necessary yet tedious talk.

Once she had quickly gone through these preliminaries, she laughed delicately and swiftly transitioned to the main event.

With a wave of her hand, a black stone box magically appeared in front of her; the lid then automatically opened, revealing a teal beast egg contained within.

"Fellow Daoists, please look, this is the first treasure of today—a high-level Demon Beast Poisonous Dragon Lizard's egg."

As the woman in the red dress introduced the name of the egg, she explained,

"Perhaps many fellow Daoists who have traveled from afar do not know of the Poisonous Dragon Lizard; it's a ferocious Demon Beast that inhabits the Doran Prairie. Its toxic Divine Skills are comparable to those of the same rank Poison Flood Dragon, capable of easily poisoning to death a Cultivator of the same rank in the Purple Mansion Phase. Even Golden Core Stage Cultivators who carelessly come in contact with its toxins will suffer heavy losses to their Essence Energy before they can purge it."

"This Poisonous Dragon Lizard egg was found by a Golden Core Stage Cultivator on the Doran Prairie, guaranteed to be genuine!"

At this point, she lightly pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright, this item bidding will now begin, starting at a reserve price of eighty thousand Spirit Coins, with each bid increment not less than one thousand Spirit Coins!"

As her words fell, bids quickly started to come in.

Each time someone made a bid, the Auctioneer in the red dress would announce the price in a soft voice, using tempting language to entice more people to bid.

Inside private room number fifty-seven, Zhou Daoyi, listening to the voice coming from the conch-shaped Magic Artifact and looking at the Demon Beast egg in the stone box on the auction stage, said thoughtfully, "This is a reminder to us—since we have gone to the trouble of coming all the way to the Great Zhou Kingdom, we should also purchase some beast manuals from this place to enrich our clan's library and broaden the horizons of our clan members."

Zhou Chun, upon hearing this, also wholeheartedly nodded and said, "Supreme Elder, you are correct, it is indeed necessary to do this. Once the auction ends, I will personally see to it."

Then they watched as the price of the Poisonous Dragon Lizard egg continued to rise, eventually sold at a high price of one hundred ninety-five thousand Spirit Coins to a Cultivator in a private room.

This price was not considered outrageous, as a high-level Demon Beast, if it did not die young, was sure to become a third-order Demon Beast.

For a power, spending two hundred thousand Spirit Coins and a hundred years to gain a loyal and powerful third-order Demon Beast was definitely worthwhile.

After the Poisonous Dragon Lizard egg had been sold, the Auctioneer Li Mengyan promptly brought out the second auction item.

It was a sharp, silver-white Flying Sword Talisman.

Li Mengyan suspended the flying sword in front of her and flicked its body with her slim jade finger, making it emit a crisp tinkling sound.

She then introduced, "This is a third-grade high-quality magic artifact, the Silver Ray Soul Cleaving Sword, a weapon of slaughter forged by a Golden Core Stage cultivator using Hundred Refinements Profound Iron as the primary material and tempered with his own alchemy fire. To enhance its sharpness and hardness, an addition of two taels of Iron Essence was added!"

"The sword itself comes with an effect of extreme sharpness, which, when channeling sword qi, enhances its power by thirty percent and can withstand the pouring of eighty percent of a Golden Elixir Early Phase cultivator's mana without damaging the sword's body!"

"The starting bid is fifty thousand Spirit Coins, with each increment not less than a thousand Spirit Coins!"

As her words fell, cultivators sitting in the seats quickly began to call out their bids.

There was no barrier between the seats and the auction stage, so the voices clearly reached inside each private box, making it unnecessary for Li Mengyan to repeat herself.

Those participating in the bidding for the Silver Ray Soul Cleaving Sword were mainly cultivators sitting in those seats.

Zhou Daoyi watched the spirited bidding process and suddenly, as if remembering something, turned slightly to Zhou Chun and said, "I remember that our family also got a piece of Iron Essence from the Zhang Family, about half a pound, wasn't it?"

"There is such an item, and that piece of Iron Essence weighs a full six taels and seven mace!"

Zhou Chun nodded gently, confirming his words.

Upon hearing this response, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but glance at Lin Hongyu, then fell silent.

His action caused Lin Hongyu to be taken aback at first, but then she couldn't help reveal a smile at the corners of her mouth.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also instantly understood Zhou Daoyi's intent.

He then said with a smile, "That piece of Iron Essence is of no use to anyone in the family. Once Elder Lin succeeds in Core Formation, it can be presented to Elder Lin to refine her Lifebound Dharma Treasure."

On hearing this, Lin Hongyu narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Hehe, it's a bit early to discuss this, but let's talk about it when the time comes."

Although she said this, the smile on her face clearly showed that she greatly appreciated Zhou Daoyi's gesture.

This made Zhou Chun inwardly admire the technique of Zhou Daoyi, the elder.

Clearly, Zhou Daoyi was applying the methods he used to win over clan members to Lin Hongyu, his Dao partner.

And it seemed to be very effective.

In this way, the trio with clear objectives, Zhou Chun and the others, watched from their private box as one after another, rare and valuable treasures were presented by Li Mengyan and sold at high prices.

During this time, the three of them had discussions about some treasures but had no intention of bidding for any.

That is, until the eighth auction item appeared.

On the auction stage, Li Mengyan waved her hand, and a jade bottle appeared in her grasp.

She then slowly said, "Here we have a 'Soul Settling Pill' that can assist with opening the Purple Mansion. The starting bid is fifty thousand Spirit Coins, with each increment not less than a thousand Spirit Coins."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Chun in private box number fifty-seven instantly perked up.

On the spectator seats, a cultivator at the later stage of Foundation Establishment immediately shouted, "I bid sixty thousand Spirit Coins!"

"Sixty-five thousand Spirit Coins!"

Another cultivator in the seats followed with a bid, competing fiercely.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi passed the crystal ball talisman to Zhou Chun in the box and said, "Zhengchun, you take over."

"Understood," replied Zhou Chun, as he took the crystal ball. He immediately infused it with mana and Divine Sense and announced his price.

"Ninety-five thousand Spirit Coins. Box number fifty-seven bids ninety-five thousand Spirit Coins. Is there a higher bid? Remember, the 'Soul Settling Pill' is not only for assisting in opening the Purple Mansion, it can sometimes save your life!"

On the auction stage, the beautiful woman in red, Li Mengyan, announced Zhou Chun's bid on his behalf and tried to entice other cultivators to bid higher with a voice full of allure.
