Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 248: The Prince and Grandson of the Emperor, Setting a Trap for Chu Junhao (Part )
The further back in time, the higher the level of the spirit beast's bloodline. The sons of demon kings are no longer rare, and there are even sons of great demon kings.

However, there are differences even though both are in the late third stage. It is difficult to find a high-level bloodline that can compare to a pair of late third stage black unicorns, but the price of the hatched son of the demon king is also not low.

"I believe many of you are wondering what the finale and main item are this time?"

The moon-robed female cultivator's face was filled with confidence and charm, which made many people express their admiration.

"Miss Yuyan, if you keep beating around the bush, we have to leave."

clap clap ~
The moon-robed female cultivator did not keep the secret any longer and clapped her hands. A long string of large cages made of special spiritual gold were dragged up from the backstage. Inside the cages were slaves, exactly one hundred in total.

These slaves are both male and female, with different levels of cultivation. The men are mighty and the women are pretty, all of them have unique styles. However, if you look closely at their details, common characteristics and internal structures, it is not difficult to find that they are not the Thousand Star People, but the ancient people from the outer sea.

"Everyone must have heard about the destruction of the Imperial Court of the Ancient Island by the Demonic Horn Territory, right?

These ancient tribesmen are none other than the princes and grandchildren of the royal family of the Desolate Ancient Island. Each of them is of carefully selected royal bloodline. Fellow Daoists, please take a look. Each one is bidding individually!"

The moon-robed female cultivator's face did not show any strangeness about selling living people. Let alone these aliens, it was not uncommon to sell ordinary humans in the Thousand Star City.

Although there are complete laws prohibiting the private trafficking of human beings, the jurisdiction of the Thousand Star City is so large that slaves that meet the slave law are delivered every day, not to mention these standard "spiritual beasts".

"Wow, you guys at the Thousand Stars Chamber of Commerce are really capable, even getting this rare stuff. Are you secretly colluding with the Demonic Horn Territory?"

"Fellow Daoist, you're joking. If there were any violations, how could they dare to openly auction it? Since they dare to auction it publicly, it must be legal and compliant. As for further details, I can't disclose them."

It's no wonder that the quality of this group of slaves is quite high. They are all from the ancient tribes at the Blood Transformation Realm. Judging from their bone age, they are all young. The youngest is less than 20 years old, and the oldest is no more than 40 years old. They are obviously carefully selected high-quality goods.

The ancient people practiced Qi and blood, and their realm was naturally different from the division of the human race. Their second level was called the Blood Transformation Realm.

As for the princes and grandchildren of the ancient royal family mentioned by the moon-robed female cultivator, it is impossible for ordinary people to judge this matter. Moreover, it is said that the royal family of the ancient island has many bloodlines. Except for a few contemporary ancient royal bloodlines, the other royal families have long declined and are worthless.

"This girl is good, I can buy her back to be my slave!"

"This one is strong enough to be trained as a war slave!"

The local slave trade in the City of Thousand Stars is strictly restricted, and only those who commit some special, unforgivable and serious faults will be demoted to slavery.

So this group of people on the platform have seen all kinds of rare goods, but they have never seen human slaves of such high quality. Even if they are from the ancient tribe, they still look like humans.

Many people even left their seats and flew over to the stage to pick and choose at close range, which was very similar to the Xianfang Market in the coastal area.

"Aren't you well-informed? Do you see any flaws among these slaves?"

I don’t know if it’s because he’s addicted to finding bargains or what, but when he sees this chaotic scene, Lin Qianfan has the illusion that he can pick up something.

"I'm not omnipotent. Besides, this place is too close to the Nascent Soul, and I can't show off. If you want to see it, just go up and take a closer look. It's best to feel the root bones. It's the most accurate and reliable way to judge by feeling the bones. Ancient humans didn't have spiritual roots, so they looked at the root bones."

Then Lin Qianfan decisively left the stands and walked forward.

"Brother Lin, what's the matter? You also want to buy a female slave?"

Perhaps it was because they were princes and grandchildren of the emperor, the slaves on the stage were all very good-looking, and both men and women had their own unique characteristics. Although many of them pretended to be serious, they were actually not honest.

"It's human nature, right? I'm no exception, and what's the harm in taking a look? I don't necessarily have to buy it!"

Lin Qianfan didn't explain and admitted it generously.

"Alas, I thought Brother Lin was quite serious, but it seems I was wrong about him!"

"Brother Jian, are you going together?"

"Of course we go together! Let's go, let's go!"

The ancient people in the cages were in good condition, obviously not having been abused in order to sell them at a high price, but their expressions were different.

Some people are still unruly. After all, they have seen it all. Even in adversity, they still don't let go of certain things.

Some people looked ashen, their pupils devoid of color. It was obvious that they could not accept this scene. Once upon a time, they were the ones outside the cage, wantonly picking up the goods in the cage.

Some people are very adaptable. Knowing that the situation is irreversible and they cannot change it, they take the initiative to show themselves, hoping to meet a more advantageous master, so that their upper limit will be higher.
Of course, every person is different, and the situation of almost every slave is different. Unfortunately, they are all restrained by special shackles, unable to speak or move, and can only cooperate in being selected.

"General, next one!"

Lin Qianfan touched the bones one by one, giving Xiao Xinglan the opportunity to observe closely. Lin Qianfan didn't have to buy it. After all, he had too many secrets. There was no need to pick up such an ancient slave unless it was a big bargain.

"General, next one!"

"Brother Lin, do you really understand the essence? You're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"

"Are you questioning my character? You know a thing or two!"

"Really?"

"Believe it or not!"

Lin Qianfan shamelessly touched everyone one by one, regardless of whether they were men or women. He was considered an oddity in the crowd.

"What a pity. It looks like it's been passed over many times."

As Xiao Xinglan examined them one by one, he confirmed that there were no slaves with top-notch physiques or special physiques among this group of slaves. They should have been eliminated, and there were almost no small leaks.

It is difficult for this group of people to reach the third level, let alone any potential for the fourth level, which is almost non-existent.

As for why they can reach the Blood Transformation Realm at such a young age, it can most likely be attributed to the four words "ancient emperor bloodline". They have a good background and abundant natural resources, and it is not easy to feed them. However, it is hard to say how much their actual combat power is. They look good but are useless.

Lin Qianfan, who was not very satisfied, returned to the stands again. It was obvious that he did not intend to continue to get involved in this matter, but his facial expression was full of regret.

"What do you mean? Is there a suitable target?"

"Alas, I do have some, but I lent all my money to my cousin. Now I've come across some good stuff but I'm short of money."

"Oh? Don't I have you, my brother? How about it? Can you give it to me? I'll treat you to a shopping spree some other day!"

"Okay! If Brother Jian plans to buy a slave to train as a combat assistant, I suggest you bid for number 23."

"Oh? That male slave with the majestic look? What's so special about him?" "I've touched him, and his bones are quite good. If he gets the right demon pill to help him break through, there's at least a 30% chance he'll reach the Blood Pill Realm!"

The third level of the ancient clan is called the Blood Pill Realm. A large blood and qi pill similar to the golden pill can be condensed in the body. It can also be used to perform various blood and qi spells and powerful combat skills. The strength is not much weaker than that of the golden pill cultivators, but the main thing is that the means are a little lacking.

"Okay, I understand!"

This Fellow Daoist Jian was not the Jian Zirui that Lin Qianfan had known before, but a fellow clansman of his. As the Jian family and the Lin family had become increasingly close in recent years, the two of them could be considered half-friends.

As for what Lin Qianfan said, it was of course a lie. Lin Qianfan found that Chu Junhao was staring at him secretly, especially when Lin Qianfan was touching the bones one by one, he stared at him especially hard and he couldn't avoid it, so Lin Qianfan deliberately picked a useless one to deceive him.

As for whether he takes the bait or not, it doesn’t matter. Just help Fellow Daoist Jian withdraw his vote when the time comes. Those who are willing to take the bait will do so.

"Very good, fellow Taoists, please return to your respective seats in the stands first, and then we will enter this round of auction!
First up is lot number one. This is a tall and graceful princess of a foreign race. From what I've observed, she's still a virgin. A 28-year-old aristocratic princess in the early stages of the Blood Transformation Realm, she's incredibly rare. She's even more talented than many of the Daoists here. Don't miss this opportunity.
The starting price is one thousand medium-grade spirit stones. Please make your bids!"

It was obvious that the female cultivator in the moon robe knew how to auction. She knew how to emphasize the characteristics of the items and how to capture the customers' attention. Moreover, the starting price was far lower than everyone's expectations. It was obvious that the auction house knew the specific conditions of the goods.

"One thousand and five!"

"two thousand!"

"Two thousand and five!"

"Two thousand eight!"

As soon as the starting price came out, some people who were familiar with the auction rules understood some of the problems, because large auctions generally do not deliberately set traps, and the pricing is often relatively fair.

But although they understand it, many people are still curious and are willing to pay a premium to buy this rare and high-quality human slave, which is much rarer than ordinary spirit beasts.

"Three thousand!"

"Three thousand two!"

The price was called out very quickly and finally settled at 3,600 medium-grade spirit stones. This price was nearly twice that of the first black unicorn egg, which shows the popularity and premium ability of lot No. 1.

"Boom~ Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for obtaining a high-quality female slave!
Now starting the auction of lot number two..."

Regardless of gender, although the prices vary, they are all seriously overpriced compared to high-quality second-level spirit beasts. At least in Lin Qianfan's eyes, most of them do not have much chance of being promoted to the Blood Pill Realm, and are most likely just garbage in the ancient emperor's bloodline. However, their prices have reached the price of ordinary direct descendants of the Demon King, which is a rip-off.

But these prices were reported by themselves, and the reserve prices given by the auction house are not exaggerated, so the auction house cannot be blamed.

"...Next is lot number 23. In terms of appearance, this male slave is the best of the lot. The cultivation technique I'm practicing requires me to carefully preserve my Yin energy, otherwise I'd be tempted. If you like this one, please place an offer. The starting price is 1,500!"

Lot No. 23 looks very good. It is tall, stylish, and has a high level of cultivation. It has the excellent outline of the ancient people and conforms to the aesthetic standards of the Thousand Star People. The price is very high.

In this world where the strong are respected, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is not very strong. Although female cultivators are still at a disadvantage, it is more because the value of reproduction is a distributable resource.

Therefore, wealthy and powerful female cultivators can still bid boldly. As for whether people buy them back as war slaves or male servants, that is a private matter.

Under the influence of Lin Qianfan, Fellow Daoist Jian also participated in the auction. Not only him, but several other male cultivators also participated in the auction.

Perhaps they valued No. 23's potential for advancement more. At such a young age, he could reach the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm. With a little training, it would be a good choice to train him into a Blood Pill Realm war slave.

However, the price jumped very quickly and was obviously overpriced. Fellow Daoist Jian had no choice but to stop, as he did not have much spare money to squander.

"Three thousand!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Junhao decisively joined the ranks of those submitting bids. It was obvious that Lin Qianfan's previous bone-touching and conversation with Fellow Daoist Jian had taken effect on him. It could only be said that he had no good intentions from the beginning.

"Three thousand two!"

There was a female cultivator wearing a black veil who was still bidding. There were not many people hiding their identities at the scene. It was obvious that this person was not a serious person. The Taoist sects in the Thousand Star City were mixed, so this was normal.

"Three thousand three!"

Chu Junhao took the initiative to walk to the front of the stand railing and revealed his identity clearly. Although the Chu family is no longer a Nascent Soul force, it is still considered top-notch among the large Golden Core forces.

Although he didn't dare to actively break the auction house's rules to threaten others, his current behavior could be considered an alternative way of using force to intimidate others.

"Three thousand five! Could it be that Master Chu is into homosexuality?"

That person did not tolerate Chu Junhao and ridiculed Chu Junhao's behavior to his face, especially now that the Chu family has almost completely withdrawn from the Thousand Star City. People are realistic and when people leave, they are forgotten. The Chu family now has limited influence in the Thousand Star City, and Chu Junhao is not at the top of the Chu family's Nascent Soul cultivation sequence, so his deterrent power is limited.

"Witch, stop talking nonsense! I'm just optimistic about this war slave's talent. He's nothing like the dishonest people in the Goddess Palace!"

"Why are you not being serious? Master Chu, you must explain everything clearly today, otherwise how can I explain to the Grand Palace Master when I return?"

"Three thousand and six!"

Chu Junhao didn't want to say anything more after hearing the words "Grand Palace Master". In the past, he would not even look at these garbage forces that were parasitic on the Thousand Star City, but now he dared not offend them. There were many influential Jindan forces hidden in the Thousand Star City.

They usually keep a low profile and never compete with the Yuanying forces, but it is not difficult for them to bully him now.

"Three thousand eight! If Master Chu dares to follow me again, I will have to give up!"

The voice beneath the veil is so charming, as if it has been bullied.

"Three thousand eight hundred and fifty!"

Chu Junhao is about to reach the stage of forming a pill, and No. 23 is also at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, making him perfect to be trained as a helper.

"make a deal!"

The veiled woman stopped bargaining, and the moon-robed female cultivator made the final decision.

"Haha~ Really add fifty? Master Chu is really generous. I admire you. I really admire you. It's really generous to spend so much money for a useless tortoise man. Um, haha~"

When the dust settled, the woman couldn't help but burst into laughter in public.

"Could it be that this Mr. Chu is really a homosexual?"
