Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 115 Five-Tailed Divine Fox
The auctioneer was very skilled. When he went on stage, he briefly introduced himself, gave a short opening speech, and then got straight to the point.

She knew very well that no matter how eloquent she was, it was not as good as directly presenting the items for auction.

"Now we'll begin with the first item for auction."

The auctioneer clapped his hands and said, "Please welcome our old friend, the Nine Star Divine Fox Relic Map."

For a moment, many people below burst into laughter.

Lin Chen was taken aback by this unexpected move by Tian Gang; the ruins map was the most valuable item in the auction.

It's the first one to be released?
Others were used to it, since no one was buying it anyway, they just took it out for a walk each time.

The auctioneer knew this, so he quickened his pace and said:

"This map originated twenty years ago and was accidentally obtained by a beast tamer. Although it is a damaged item, according to experts, it may be a map of ruins related to the Nine-Star Divine Fox."

"Starting price: 3000 million!"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire room fell silent; even some of the "big shots" who were resting didn't open their eyes.

As per the rules, a full thirty seconds were waited before the auctioneer finally said, "Isn't anyone willing to take a gamble?"

"Betting on this is no better than throwing your money into the sea; at least you'll have a quick and painless end," someone said.

The crowd burst into laughter.

The auctioneer smiled along, showing no embarrassment, and continued, "Then let's move on to the second item: thirty-three Beast Spirit Pills. They can be auctioned separately. This time, the quality of the Beast Spirit Pills is quite good. Those who want to stock up shouldn't miss this opportunity."

Now that we've finally gotten to the point, many people immediately started working on it.

Beast Spirit Pills are best-selling items, and they are basically sold out.

Then, the speed increased considerably.

The blood cowhide that Lin Chen wanted was ranked around 20th, with a starting bid of 700,000.

Over the past few days, Lin Chen has researched a lot of information and has finally decided on the final formula for Xiaobai's mutation and evolution:
Main ingredient: Heart of the King of Bulls

[Secondary Auxiliary Materials: Blood Bull Hide, Spirit-Transformed Grade Essence Blood, Three-Flower Grass, Blood-Activating Vine]

[Tier 3 Support Materials: Earthworm, Iron Wire Artemisia, Bloodstone, Green Leaf Vine, Hundred-Year Tree Root]

Generally, each recipe contains 10 ingredients, and there are strict requirements on the proportions; more is not necessarily better.

Although Li Zhen said he wouldn't help, he still agreed that he would help gather the necessary materials for the third level of assistance, which would cost about one million.

Therefore, Lin Chen needs to gather the materials himself, and for the secondary materials, he plans to use the blood of Li Jiuxiao's Bone Armor Bull King.

The rules for using Spirit Transformation-level essence blood are simple: it's best to use blood of the same type.

Therefore, Li Jiuxiao's beast king cub's essence blood was the most suitable, which Lin Chen only discovered later when he was organizing the data.

Although there was only one essence blood, and once it was used, it could not be used to purify it, Lin Chen felt that this was the most suitable.

Three-flower grass isn't expensive; it can be bought outside for around 500,000. As for the Blood-Activating Vine, Lin Chen asked Li Zhen, who said that monster hunters could bring it back from outside, and the guild's internal price was also around 500,000.

So today, as long as we collect all the Blood Cow Hide, we'll have all the materials needed for Xiaobai's evolution.

"I'll call them for you later." When they were almost there, Li Zhen said, "Pills and medicinal herbs are in high demand. It's not just big powers bidding, but also many pharmacies. If I call them, those people will give me some face."

Lin Chen understood that these pharmacies were basically not short of money, after all, it was a highly profitable industry.

He had never attended an auction before, so it was best to listen to Li Zhen.

Ten minutes later, we finally arrived at the blood cowhide.

"Next up is a rare and special medicinal herb. It can be used to refine elixirs and also as an auxiliary material for the evolution of cattle. It is of excellent quality. The starting price is 70, and the minimum increment for each round of bidding is 10." As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, many people below were indeed eager to bid.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen then raised his sign and shouted, "One million!"

For a moment, everyone looked over, but Li Zhen did not say anything.

At an auction, you can't say, "I am XXX, please give me some face."

Such people either won't survive the auction, or they'll be permanently blacklisted.

But some things are just a matter of tacit understanding.
Li Zhen's absence from the auction house for so long, and his immediate bid of 100 million, is a clear indication that he is determined to win.

Therefore, many people choose to save face.

After all, the Monster Hunter Guild is a major force in Nine Star City, and we need their help with many things.

"100 million for the first time."

"100 million for the second time."

"100 million, third time, deal."

The auctioneer was aware of this rule, but she did not show any displeasure.

Bloodhide leather can usually sell for 1.4 million, although it's only worth 1 million now, but that's still a profit of 400,000 compared to the cost.

Seeing that he had secured the deal for a million, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer fantasized about getting it for 800,000 when Li Zhen asked for it.

Because if he did that, Li Zhen would easily offend people.

Next came the other auction items, and sure enough, the black-hearted bamboo that Lee Jae-kyung wanted appeared at the top of the other categories.

The material had a starting bid of one million, but he eventually won it for one and a half million.

Subsequently, Li Zaiqing auctioned off another pill called Nirvana Pill, priced at 500,000, which could increase the probability of evolution, but the effect was negligible.

It's clear that Li Zaiqing still doesn't want to give up on Iron Palm Bear.

Perhaps Li Zaiqing didn't have much desire to change his spirit beast before, thinking that if the evolution failed, he could just give up. But now it's different. After spending a long time with the Iron Palm Bear, he has naturally developed feelings for it.

He also hoped that Ironpaw Bear would evolve successfully and stay with him forever. Then, the official auction began:
Mythical beast.

In most previous auctions, mythical beasts were usually the last items on the shelf.

After all, spirit beasts with superior bloodlines are coveted by all forces.

Today's prized possession isn't the Spirit Devouring Vine that Lin Chen and his group wanted to bid on, but rather a regular visitor here:
Divine Fox.

As for how many tails, that wasn't mentioned.

The bidding for spirit beasts in the second half was much more intense. The starting price for those who could enter was over one million, and could even reach five million.

Finally, when it came to second place, it was the turn of the Soul-Devouring Vine.

"Second to last, the Spirit Beast Devouring Vine is an excellent choice for cultivating spiritual power. It is suitable for beast tamers with strong physical abilities, and it improves quickly."

The auctioneer said a lot, but couldn't hide its shortcomings:
Nobody's selling.

"Starting price: 1500 million. Each round of bidding must be at least 100 million higher."

This price has already deterred the vast majority of people; only powerful figures can afford it.

However, although the Soul-Devouring Vine is a sacred beast, it is not cost-effective for them.

Soon, the Soul-Devouring Vine made its appearance. As a plant-type spirit beast, it wasn't very tall, with two black leaves on its head, giving it a somewhat cute appearance.
Legend has it that when the Soul-Eating Vine is well-fed and watered, its leaves turn green, while when it is hungry, they turn black.

"What if she doesn't like it?" Lin Chen asked Li Zhen.

"It's alright. Spirit beast auctions are different from other auctions. If you're not satisfied, you can return it within seven days without giving a reason."

"There's such a rule?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

"This is also to avoid some disputes, but after returning the goods, we need to compensate the auction house with 20% of the price difference," Li Zhen said.

Lin Chen's lips twitched upon hearing this.

However, it is also reasonable.

After waiting for nearly 20 seconds with no one making a bid, Li Zhen raised his hand and said:

"1500 million!"

Everyone looked up at Li Zhen and began to ponder.
Is Li Zhen planning to start cultivating his mental power?

However, everyone only speculated and remained silent.

Just as Li Zhen had said, he did indeed have a few mortal enemies in the city, but they could only watch helplessly and dared not make a move.

If they dare to raise the price, Li Zhen will immediately say no.

The auctioneer was delighted to see that someone had actually made a bid and quickly said:

"1500 million, is there still 1500 million left?"

"1500 million for the first time."

"1500 million for the second time."

"1500 million for the third time."

"make a deal."

With the final decision made, Li Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

We got it at the bottom price, which is acceptable.

If this spirit beast's personality matches Qin Shaoshao's, then its cost-effectiveness is absolutely top-notch.

After all, this is a sacred beast.

"Next, please welcome our trump card: the Five-Tailed Divine Fox Sacred Beast!"

As soon as the auctioneer spoke, the atmosphere below changed abruptly.

"This time, the divine fox actually has five tails."

"I don't know what its attribute is."

A five-tailed divine fox is definitely a very good start. Although the peak of a sacred beast is six tails, the divine fox already has a rare and excellent bloodline.

"Crimson Spirit Fox!"

"Starting bid: 2500 million!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone's eyes lit up.

This is a combat-oriented spirit beast.
The Crimson Fox is one of the evolved forms of the Flame Fox.

The little fox, perched on Lin Chen's shoulder, was seeing one of its evolved beasts for the first time. Looking at its five tails, the little fox could sense its power.

Lin Chen stroked its little head and whispered soothingly:
"Don't worry, your future will be even stronger."

"Goo~~"

The little fox nodded, indicating that it believed in Lin Chen and would also work hard.

This round of price-cutting was quite fierce, quickly exceeding 30 million and still rising.

"Looks like I really am poor." Hearing the other bidders continuing to raise the price, Lin Chen suddenly realized how little he had left with his three million.
Nothing.

Sure enough, as a poor person, I'd better just stick to playing Evolution.
