Although there was only a difference of one rank between a Class 5 and a Class 4 Magical Beast, this difference was a qualitative change. Class 4 Magical Beasts were nothing in the Tian Yuan Continent, but Class 5 Magical Beasts were extremely precious. This was not only because Class 5 Magical Beasts were much stronger than Class 4 Magical Beasts, but also because Class 5 Magical Beasts were extremely difficult to kill or capture.
Fifth rank Magical Beasts already possessed a certain level of intelligence, and due to their innate advantage, a fifth rank Magical Beast's strength was generally stronger than a human of the same rank. Therefore, in a one on one situation, it was very difficult for a human to kill a fifth rank Magical Beast. Moreover, in the circle of fifth rank Magical Beasts, there was an unspoken rule that if they killed each other, the other fifth rank Magical Beasts would not interfere. However, once they encountered an invasion by a human, they would cooperate with each other and work together to resist the human. This was why fifth rank Magical Beasts were so rare.
Hearing the sounds of gongs and drums outside, Jianchen felt extremely surprised. Although he knew that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House would definitely publicize the news of a Class 5 Magical Beast, he never thought that they would use such a method.
The sounds of gongs and drums, as well as the crackling of firecrackers, could be heard from the streets outside. The news that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House would be holding an auction for a Class 5 Magical Beast spread like wildfire throughout the city. In less than half a day, almost the entire city knew that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House would be auctioning off a Class 5 Magical Beast.
The appearance of a Rank 5 Magical Beast in a second-class city like Fengyang City was an extremely shocking and rare occurrence. In order to make this auction as grand as possible, the Tianfeng Auction House spared no effort in promoting the news. Not only did the entire Fengyang City know about the appearance of a Rank 5 Magical Beast, even the people in the surrounding cities also knew about it.
In a short period of time, the news that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House would be holding an auction for a Class 5 Magical Beast in a few days had already spread to a radius of several thousand kilometers. Not long after, various large powers and people who were interested in the Class 5 Magical Beast all set off towards the Phoenix City.
In the center of Fengyang City, there was a huge mansion quietly standing there. At the entrance of the mansion, there were ten armored soldiers standing straight outside the tightly shut door. Their bodies did not move at all, as if they were stone sculptures. Above the entrance, there was a huge sign with the words' City Lord's Mansion 'written on it. Each word was bold and powerful. Just these three words alone gave people a sense of pressure.
This mansion was the City Lord's Mansion of the Phoenix City.
At this moment, in an elegant garden within the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe was practicing martial arts with a large blade in his hand. His movements were incomparably fast as he quickly moved back and forth in the garden. The large blade in his hand had already been swung around by him, creating afterimages that densely covered the space in front of him. It was impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the blade. Powerful and vigorous Saint Force was emitted, causing the space in front of him to slightly distort.
At this moment, an old man who looked like a housekeeper quickly walked in from outside. Looking at the middle-aged man practicing martial arts in the garden, he said, "City Lord, we just received news that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House will be auctioning off two Class 5 Magical Beasts in this year's large-scale auction."
"What! Class 5 Magical Beasts! " Hearing this, the middle-aged man who was practicing martial arts in the garden suddenly stopped what he was doing. Turning his head, he looked at the housekeeper with a face full of shock and said, "Housekeeper Cheng, what did you just say?"
The housekeeper repeated what he had said before. After hearing this, the middle-aged man's face became even more shocked. There was a faint trace of disbelief on his face as he said with a tone full of disbelief, "Housekeeper Cheng, the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House will be auctioning off two Class 5 Magical Beasts. Is this true?"
"City Lord, this news was spread by the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House. Moreover, this old man also went to the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House.
This old man personally went to the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House to confirm this matter. This matter is absolutely true. "The housekeeper said with a firm tone.
"In these past few decades, Class 5 Magical Beasts have only appeared in our Phoenix City two or three times. But this time, they are actually auctioning them off. This is the first time in these past few decades that we have seen such a thing." The middle-aged man frowned as he pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, "Housekeeper Cheng, do you know who made these two Class 5 Magical Beasts? They actually brought such precious things to our Phoenix City to be auctioned off. This matter is a little strange. "
"This old man does not know!"
The middle-aged man had already expected the old man's answer. There was not the slightest trace of dissatisfaction on his face. After muttering to himself for a moment, he said, "Housekeeper Cheng, go and invite the owner of the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House, Zhou Tian, to our residence as a guest."
"Yes. City Lord. "
… …
In a house in Phoenix City, an old man was sitting in a bookish study room, reading a book in his hand. At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "Who is it? Didn't I say not to disturb me when I am reading?"
"Father, it's your son. Your son has an important matter to report to you."
"Come in!"
The door opened and a middle-aged man dressed in black walked in. "Father, I just received news that the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House will be auctioning off two Class 5 Magical Beasts this year."
"What! Class 5 Magical Beasts! " Hearing this, the old man was slightly shocked and immediately put down the book in his hand. He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man standing in front of the desk and said in a deep voice, "Jian 'er, is this true?"
"Your son personally went to the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House to inquire and it is absolutely true." The middle-aged man slightly lowered his head and said with certainty.
"Class 5 Magical Beasts are extremely rare in a second class city. Where did the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House get Class 5 Magical Beasts?" The old man softly muttered to himself. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he looked at the middle-aged man and asked again, "Jian 'er, do you know if the Heavenly Phoenix Auction House is auctioning off a Class 5 Magical Beast's Monster Core or a Class 5 Magical Beast's infant? Or should I say, is it just a Class 5 Magical Beast's corpse?"
"Your son does not know. The Heavenly Phoenix Auction House is very strict about this kind of information. Furthermore, only a few of the upper echelons know about it. Your son was unable to obtain any more information from them."
"Immediately go and investigate!" The old man immediately ordered.
"Yes!"
… …
The news of a Class 5 Magical Beast not only attracted many people to come to Phoenix City to observe, it also attracted the attention of various large powers.
In the next few days, there was an endless stream of people rushing to Fengyang City from all directions, causing the number of people staying in Fengyang City to increase rapidly. Very soon, all the inns and restaurants in the city were full. As the number of people staying in the inns increased rapidly, the price of the inns also skyrocketed. Very soon, it had risen to ten times the usual price. At the same time, the security of Phoenix City was extremely tight these few days. Groups of armored soldiers could be seen patrolling the streets.
