"Fifty thousand purple crystal coins. This Youlan Clan is truly worthy of being the number one clan in Flaming Cloud City. They are truly wealthy …"
"This Youlan Clan is truly wealthy. They are actually willing to pay fifty thousand purple crystal coins for the corpse of a Class 5 Magical Beast. This seems to have exceeded the value of a Class 5 Magical Beast."
… …
Following the Youlan Clan's second bid, the auction hall was immediately filled with a buzz of discussion. Jianchen, who was seated among the crowd, also revealed a surprised expression. Although a Class 5 Magical Beast was precious, there was still an upper limit to its price. Fifty thousand purple crystal coins had indeed exceeded the price it was worth.
In the box of the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion, a few people in white robes sat with serious expressions. There were a total of eight of them. Aside from two handsome youths who seemed to be in their twenties and a beautiful young lady, the other five were middle-aged men.
The beautiful young lady who seemed to be in her twenties said, "This Youlan Clan is truly determined to obtain this Class 5 Magical Beast's corpse. The price is already increasing. If this continues, even if our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion is able to successfully obtain this Class 5 Magical Beast, we will have to pay an extremely high price in terms of money." The young lady's voice was like a yellow spirit bird, extremely pleasant to the ears.
"It's said that the old patriarch of the Youlan clan is preparing to break through to Earth Saint Master. With the help of this Class 5 Magical Beast's corpse, his chances of success will increase by a lot even though it won't be a hundred percent. This Class 5 Magical Beast is indeed very important to them," said a middle-aged man.
"My master has already been stuck at the peak of Great Saint Master for more than ten years. It's because he can't guarantee that he will be able to successfully break through to the Earth Saint Master realm. If we obtain this Class 5 Magical Beast's corpse, my master might be able to successfully break through to the Earth Saint Master realm. Once my master successfully breaks through to the Earth Saint Master realm, the strength of our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion will increase by several levels." The person who spoke was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. When his master was mentioned, a trace of pride appeared on his face.
This was because his master was the pavilion master of the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion.
A middle-aged man in a white robe said, "That's right. We have to do our best to get this Class 5 Magical Beast's corpse. Although it's easier to find Class 5 Magical Beasts' corpses in some King Cities, we're very far away from any King Cities. Moreover, the road isn't very peaceful. Even if we buy it, it'll be very difficult to transport it back from the King Cities. If we don't handle it well, we might even be robbed on the road. So right now, this Class 5 Magical Beast is the safest choice."
. "With that, the middle-aged man in white robes.... and the middle-aged man in white robes......
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding his head. He raised his voice, "My Drifting Cloud Sword Pavilion bids 55,000 purple crystal coins."
As soon as his voice fell, a series of low and deep exclamations came from the auction venue again.
However, not long after the exclamation, another angry roar was heard from the opposite room.
"The Youlan Clan bids sixty thousand purple crystal coins …"
Hearing the Youlan Clan's bid, the expressions of the people in the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion's box turned unsightly.
"Sixty-five thousand purple crystal coins …" After a moment of silence, the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion's vice pavilion master made another bid.
Currently, many major powers had already withdrawn from the contest for the Class 5 Magical Beast. Only the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion and the Youlan Clan were still unwilling to give up.
"Bam!"
The sound of a table and chair shattering could be heard from the Youlan Clan's box. Clearly, the Youlan Clan was truly angered by the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion.
Because of this sudden sound, the entire auction hall fell silent. Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction of the Youlan Clan's box.
"Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion, this Class 5 Magical Beast is very important to our Youlan Clan. Can't you give it to our Youlan Clan? After this, our Youlan Clan will definitely reward you handsomely." An aged voice sounded from the Youlan Clan's box. The anger contained in that voice couldn't be concealed.
"My apologies. Our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion also needs the corpse of this Class 5 Magical Beast. As long as you can suppress us in terms of price, we will naturally give up."
As soon as the aged voice sounded, a vigorous voice sounded from the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion's box. It wasn't hard to tell that the person who spoke was the vice pavilion master of the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion.
"Alright … Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion, our Youlan Clan will remember you. Seventy thousand purple crystal coins …" The Youlan Clan was practically gnashing their teeth as they made the bid.
This time, the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion didn't make another bid. After waiting for a few breaths of time, the auctioneer standing on the stage finally spoke.
"The Youlan Clan bids seventy thousand purple crystal coins for the corpse of the Class 5 Magical Beast, Quickcloud Beast. Are there any higher bids?"
Even though there were over ten thousand people seated in the auction hall, it was completely silent at this moment. After waiting for a moment, the auctioneer saw that no one else made another bid. Thus, he raised his voice once again, "Youlan Clan, seventy thousand purple crystal coins going once …"
Within the Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion's box.
"Vice Pavilion Master, although the Youlan Clan's influence in Flaming Cloud City is strong, our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion isn't any weaker than them. Are we really going to give up on this Class 5 Magical Beast? The Phoenix Sun City isn't too far away from our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion. It's much safer to transport the Class 5 Magical Beast back from here. This is a rare opportunity for us." A middle-aged man spoke.
"Sigh …" Hearing this, the vice pavilion master sighed and said, "We aren't afraid of the Youlan Clan. It's just that the value of a Class 5 Magical Beast has already exceeded our bottom line. Our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion doesn't have the financial backing of the Youlan Clan. With the current high price, even if we successfully obtain the Class 5 Magical Beast, our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion's financial resources will definitely be depleted. This is extremely disadvantageous for us."
"Are we really going to give up just like this? This is such a good opportunity." A young man said with an unwilling expression.
"We can only give up now. Furthermore, even if we purchase the corpse of the Class 5 Magical Beast, it's hard to say if the pavilion master will be able to successfully break through to the Earth Saint Master level with its help. If the breakthrough fails, it will be a huge loss for our Wanderingcloud Sword Pavilion. We can't bear the consequences." The vice pavilion master said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the others silently nodded their heads. How difficult was it to break through from Great Saint Master to Earth Saint Master? Even with the help of a Class 5 Magical Beast, there was no guarantee of success. If they failed, they would either become a cripple or lose their lives.
