…
They entered the next round.
Zhu Minglang had been paying attention to see if a group of men would suddenly rush out and tie him up.
Wen Lingfei's bounty had probably spread to Ni Hai, and it was increased to four million gold coins.
If he had known, he would have used an alias …
He was a little unlucky to be recognized by a woman who had been to Xu.
What did she mean by 'look familiar'? Maybe the little handmaiden was already gathering people to capture him and send him to Xu to collect the four million gold coins!
Zhu Minglang did not see any movement for a long time.
The little handmaiden stood quietly beside the Queen of Xiayu, explaining to the guests in a gentle voice from time to time.
When it came to the third round, Zhu Minglang was a complete amateur.
However, not many people entered the third round. Only five or six people.
One hundred thousand gold coins. Even if they were rich, not everyone would be willing to pay that much.
Zhu Minglang saw Mister Han, who had been promoted. His appearance and hair color were similar to Han Wan's. They were most likely siblings.
"I can't believe it didn't scare everyone away," Han Su said.
"To be honest, Mister Han, even if this egg is touched, we still can't make a conclusion. It's possible that it's surrounded by spiritual energy because there's a source of spiritual energy around it, and not because it has the ability to absorb spiritual energy," a black-and-white haired old man beside Han Su said.
"So we give up?" Han Su asked.
"Let's wait and let others make the decision first. If this creature can absorb spiritual energy before it hatches, it's worth it to take it down for less than three hundred thousand gold coins, "the black-and-white haired dragon master said.
…
It was Zhu Minglang and Luo Shaoyan's turn.
The little handmaiden smiled, and her bright and beautiful face revealed a look of anticipation.
Zhu Minglang did not know what this delicate little girl was up to.
Luo Shaoyan touched it with his hand. He did not use his fingers or palms like others, but the back of his hand.
He slid the back of his hand gently as if he was looking for something.
Zhu Minglang did not say anything. He just watched quietly.
If even the great educator, Lin Zhao, praised the Luoshan Sect's Art of Dragon Knowledge, Zhu Minglang naturally had no reason to question it.
"To tell you the truth, whether this spirit egg will hatch into a peerless dragon or a trashy young spirit is still half and half. I also know why there is such a huge controversy among the people. There was Spirit Qi around it, and it could be sensed that it was absorbing Spirit Qi. However, its vitality was not as strong as imagined. It could be seen that it did not convert the Spirit Qi into its own vitality. It's like a sick and weak person who has taken supplements but can't make up for it, "Luo Shaoyan said.
"You can absorb spiritual energy into your body, but you can't absorb spiritual energy to strengthen yourself. What an awkward little creature. "Zhu Minglang smiled bitterly.
It was just like a shop.
There were many customers every day.
To the vast majority of businessmen, a source of customers was extremely important. A large source of customers was equivalent to more than half of the success.
But the customers don't buy anything from your store.
They just wanted to take a look and didn't spend any money to buy it!
This was probably the case for this unhatched little guy.
"Yes, but after it hatches, it might be able to absorb spiritual energy again. It's hard to say. If this egg was in the second round, I might buy it. After all, the cost is around a hundred thousand gold. Even if it turns out to be trash, I'll only lose a hundred thousand gold. But if it's already in the third or fourth round, it's too risky to follow up, "Luo Shaoyan said.
"You mean we should give up?" Zhu Minglang said.
"You can give up. Save some money for the Thunder Dragon egg. You didn't spend any money anyway," Luo Shaoyan said grumpily.
Luo Shaoyan had paid for the first two rounds.
In the third round, the little maid had paid for the meal.
If he gave up now, Zhu Minglang would not lose a single cent.
"I'm short of a young spirit. I'll follow up this time. If someone offers more money, I'll give up too," Zhu Minglang said.
"That's fine."
Most dragon shepherds would keep a lot of young spirits. Even if some of them could not evolve into dragons, they would still keep them as pets.
The Thunder Dragon egg was indeed the star of the day. This ambiguous spirit egg was just a side dish.
Zhu Minglang would be happy if he could get the young Thunder Dragon.
The Thunder Dragon was also a kind of purple dragon.
But even if he could get the Thunder Dragon, it would not stop him from keeping another young spirit as a reserve.
Zhu Minglang chose to follow up.
This time, the price was also a hundred thousand gold. Every time he followed up, the price could not be lower than the previous one.
"Young Master, are you giving up or following up?" the little maid asked with a smile.
"Following up? Is anyone offering more money?"
"Not yet, but it's hard to say with Young Master Han. Young Master, do you want to add more money? There aren't many competitors left. If Young Master wants it, you can add more money to drive away the other competitors. That way, there's no need to wait until the fifth round. It might even be the final bid, "the little maid explained. She knew Zhu Minglang did not know the rules.
"That's fine. I'll raise it to a hundred and fifty thousand gold," Zhu Minglang said.
"Okay." The little maid made a record for Zhu Minglang.
…
The competition for the Spiritual Egg had come to an end.
Zhu Minglang was waiting to enter the fourth round. Suddenly, the Queen of Xiayu Country spoke.
"In the fourth round, only Young Master Zhu has chosen to follow up. The total price is two hundred and seventy-five thousand gold. If you get the Dragon Egg, we will ask a master to remove the hatching talisman. Everyone, please wait and see," the Queen of Xiayu Country said.
"We got it?" Luo Shaoyan was surprised.
Zhu Minglang did not expect everyone to give up when he added more money.
"Are there really fools who would believe that? Isn't this egg created by those unscrupulous Dragon Egg Merchants? They purposely asked some so-called famous masters to make up a simple story that makes people think that the Divine Dragon Egg has been lost among the common folk. I didn't believe it from the start!" a potbellied rich merchant said.
"You didn't believe it from the start? Why did you follow up to the second round?" someone laughed.
"That's because my shop also boasted about it. I sold it for ten thousand gold, but no one wanted it. In the end, I ended up here, and a bunch of people kept bidding for it. What a joke!" the fat merchant said.
"Is that so? Maybe you really missed out on a Divine Dragon Egg," a Dragon Shepard who had followed up to the third round sneered.
"Let's not waste our time arguing. Let's wait for the result."
Zhu Minglang ignored the rich merchant's mockery.
Luo Shaoyan's face darkened.
If the Dragon Egg was really trash, he would have made Zhu Minglang lose one hundred and fifty thousand gold.
"You were the one who added more money in the end. Hehe, I admit that the Dragon Egg did feel mysterious at first, so I added more money in the first round. However, if you take a closer look, you will realize that the Talent it possesses is actually quite useless," Han Su said to Zhu Minglang as he walked up to him.
"I paid for it, and at least I got it. You paid for it, but you didn't get anything except your sarcastic remarks," Zhu Minglang said.
"Seriously? I'm trying to cut my losses. Can't you tell? It's just a game for me. I feel great when I see someone falling for it. I can't wait to see your face when the Dragon Egg hatches, "Han Su said.
Zhu Minglang smiled. He did not want to talk to the Hermaphrodite anymore.
