It was similar to a marine creature, but vaguely resembled a human. This was the legendary existence of the North Sea, just like mermaids.
Looking at this scene, even Lin Yi was stunned. Don't forget, on the way to the Extreme North Island, they were just attacked by this legendary sea beast. At that time, they were only attacked by the Song of the Siren, and didn't see the appearance of the sea beast. Now they could make up for it.
"Sea beasts can be auctioned in this kind of auction?" Lin Yi felt a little incredulous. He had heard from the ghost that although the spirit beast clan couldn't completely stop human cultivators from hunting spirit beasts, at least in such a formal public place, no one would dare to openly attack spirit beasts.
"Sea beasts are sea beasts, and spirit beasts are spirit beasts. These are two different things. The spirit beast clan has never conquered the sea, and naturally, they won't protect any sea beasts." The ghost said disapprovingly in his mind.
Lin Yi was speechless. At first glance, the sea beast cub looked like a human baby, and even its cry was the same. However, he didn't intend to intervene. After all, the spiritual jades at hand were limited, and he still needed to bid for the six casting materials listed by the King of Junk. He couldn't afford to lose.
However, Lin Yi's lack of interest didn't mean that others had the same idea.
The Sea Demon Clan's heaven-defying racial talent was destined to become a powerful killing machine once they were tamed as spiritual pets. Therefore, there were actually many people who had thoughts about this young Sea Demon. Immediately, someone raised his paddle and called out a price.
"Three thousand and one hundred spiritual jades."
"Three thousand and two hundred spiritual jades."
"…"
For a time, the bidding sounds came one after another. The base price of three thousand spiritual jades was not a small number for most people, but there were still so many people scrambling for it. The value of the sea beast cub was obvious.
However, the next voice made everyone shut up. "Six thousand spiritual jades. I heard that if the sea beast cub is killed and stewed, it has a miraculous effect on nourishing and beautifying. It's just right for you, Junior Sister Tian Chan. I'll accept it on your behalf."
The person who spoke was the red-haired man from the Middle Island, Zheng Tianjie.
Hearing this, the people present couldn't help but show reluctance, but there was nothing they could do. From more than three thousand spiritual jades to six thousand spiritual jades, the price had almost doubled.
None of the people who were qualified to attend this auction were from poor families. However, spirit jades did not fall from the sky for no reason. Everyone had their own plans. It was clearly not worth it to ruin their plans for a mere baby siren.
Six thousand spiritual jades. Zheng Tianjie took the sea beast cub without hesitation. However, Tian Chan, whom he was trying to please, didn't say a word. Throughout the auction, Tian Chan, there was not even a slight change in her expression.
Zheng Tianjie seemed to be used to this, and didn't find it boring. Tian Chan had always been a cold beauty in front of him, but it didn't matter. He was rich, and today was a rare occasion for him to be in the limelight. He always had a way to win the beauty's smile!
For the next few auctions, this Four Islands Auction actually became a one-man show for Zheng Tianjie. Every time, others would increase the price by one or two hundred, but when it came to Zheng Tianjie, he would directly double it. He didn't even blink.
His grandfather was the deputy hall master of the Pill Hall. Things like spiritual jades were abundant in his family, and he couldn't afford to lose them. Unless those super chambers of commerce came forward to compete with him, no one else was his opponent. They were not on the same level.
"This Shan Pao …" Lin Yi was speechless. If this guy wasn't by Tian Chan's side, he wouldn't even bother to look at him, but now he had to pay attention to him.
However, immediately after that, Lin Yi found himself in trouble. This Shan Pao, who didn't lack spiritual jades, was simply super annoying at times.
"A set of ten pieces of casting equipment, each of which is recognized by the blacksmiths as the best casting material. The rate of suitability can reach more than eighty percent, and the starting price is ten thousand spiritual jades." After Housekeeper Song finished his introduction, the audience immediately went into a small uproar. This was the first auction item with a starting price of five digits spiritual jades.
Listening to this introduction, Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned. As early as the first day he came to the Extreme North Island, he had already searched everywhere and found four of the six kinds of casting materials that he needed. Yesterday, he also found the remaining two. In order to bid for all these materials, he thought that today would be a long battle, but he didn't expect such a sudden change.
Many casting materials were combined into a set and auctioned together, and the six kinds of casting materials were all in it!
Such a change really caught Lin Yi off guard. He completely didn't consider this aspect of the bidding beforehand, and more importantly, this was Zheng Tianjie's special auction.
Lin Yi currently had fifteen thousand spiritual jades on hand. If it was only the six materials that were auctioned separately, it would be more than enough. However, if it was a set of ten pieces, it would be somewhat insufficient.
Without further ado, Lin Yi could only bite the bullet and make a preemptive bid: "Fifteen thousand spiritual jades."
The audience was in an uproar, and the focus of the crowd instantly focused on Lin Yi. They had always thought that Lin Yi was only a small worker in the Hong Merchant Association, but now it was obvious that he wasn't. After all, in such an important occasion, which merchant association would treat it as child's play to let a small worker bid?
The crowd was still in an uproar, but there were three people in the crowd who were dumbfounded when their gazes landed on Lin Yi. These three people were none other than Nan Tianba, Southern Sky Gate, and Yu Zhe, whom Lin Yi had been wary of!
With Nan Tianba's background and status, he naturally had a way to enter the Northern Island Auction. However, they were purely here to bid, so they didn't arrive early like Lin Yi and Hong Zhong. They had only arrived at the Northern Island last night, so they didn't know anything about the commotion that had just occurred.
Any normal person wouldn't believe that a mere grassroots newcomer like Lin Yi could actually come to such a high-class place. If he hadn't bid, perhaps Nan Tianba and the other two wouldn't have noticed his existence until the end of the auction.
"Why is this brat here? It seems like even if I don't get anything good from this trip, it won't be a wasted trip. "Nan Tianba bared his teeth, while Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe both smiled sinisterly.
