"This is the White Bone Jade Elephant's Fantasy Spirit Egg. This White Bone Jade Elephant is an elite species. It was born with divine power and has the ability to regenerate. Its potential is astonishing … The starting price is fifty thousand spirit coins. Each bid must be at least a thousand spirit coins. Begin!"
Within Central State City's Central Auction House.
The resplendent hall was overflowing with colorful lights, and a large number of rainbow sprites projected a neon-like light onto the auction stage. The host, who was wearing a suit, shouted in an encouraging and tempting voice, "63,000!"
"64,000!"
"Sixty-five thousand once! Good! This guest has bid 65,000. Anyone else? Sixty-five thousand going twice! "
"He increased the bid to 70,000!"
"… Seventy thousand going thrice, deal! Congratulations to the guest in room 36, this White Bone Jade Elephant Phantom Egg is yours now … "
…
"Tsk … It's just an Elite Breed. Hou Yong, this is your reward!"
In Room 36, Wu Ming lazily leaned against the soft chair. Behind him was Zuo Linling, who was massaging his shoulders. After winning the Phantom egg, he said indifferently.
Creak! Creak!
By the side, Evil Wolf used Illusory Breath Holding to look like it only had the strength of a pup, and it was happily gnawing on a large bone on the ground.
Bao Bujue saw this, and his eyes were twitching. Materials worth tens of thousands of Spirit Coins were really eaten by wolves … Also, this White Bone Jade Elephant is an elite species! I couldn't afford it even if I wanted to, but he actually gave it to a servant … "
"Next up... is a temporary commission for this auction. We will be selling a batch of Outstanding Fantasy Spirit Eggs!"
On the auction stage, the emcee's voice was filled with excitement. "This time, there are a total of nine outstanding breeds, covering several types. I believe everyone will be able to find a satisfactory choice!"
Huala!
There was a commotion below the stage.
On the other hand, the dozens of private rooms were relatively quiet. It was obvious that they had already heard the news.
"Haha!"
Wu Ming put on a delighted expression and kicked Evil Wolf away. "Get lost! You damned dog, this Young Master has long wanted to replace you! "
"Wu wu …"
Evil Wolf wagged its tail innocently, looking as if it had been wronged.
"I … F * ck! It's an elite-type Evil Wolf, and you actually said that you don't want it! "
Bao Bujue could not stop himself from grumbling. But … if it's a Distinguished Breed, it's worth it. But how can he be so sure? Could it be …
An indistinct thought appeared in his mind, causing his eyes to immediately turn blood-red.
"Alright, let's begin the auction item!"
The emcee announced loudly, and the entire auction house's defenses were strengthened to the extreme.
All of a sudden, nine Spirit Controllers stepped forward, each holding a white jade tray. On the tray were Phantom Spirit Eggs of different shapes and auras.
"Dancing Shadow Snake! Outstanding Phantom, an extremely rare shadow attribute … "
"Crimson Flame Elves! An Outstanding Breed with a shocking strengthening effect. It can transform a Spirit Controller's body into a Crimson Flame Body … "
"Hellfire Poison Crow! It's an Outstanding Breed, a Commander Beast among crows. It can control a large number of Black-feathered Venomous Crows. Don't miss this opportunity for group Spirit Controllers … "
"Three-tailed Spirit Fox! Outstanding species … This is a phantom with the potential to evolve into a Silver-type six-tailed celestial fox! "
…
All kinds of astonishing phantoms appeared, causing the breathing of the people below the stage to become much heavier in an instant.
Outstanding Breeds were rare to begin with, not to mention top-grade ones like the Three-tailed Spirit Fox and the Hellfire Poison Crow.
After the emcee announced the starting price, the entire place was silent for a moment. Then, an astonishing bidding war began in full swing.
'Hmm … Looks like I'll make a fortune again this time …'
Wu Ming murmured to himself as he watched this scene.
The customer who had mysteriously entrusted this task to him was, of course, himself!
With the Observing Eye and the appraisal talent, as well as the fact that he was in the business center of Zhongzhou City, it was all too easy for him to pick up the leftovers.
He had just randomly picked and collected a batch of Phantom Spirit eggs that were considered top-grade even among Outstanding Breeds.
However, even though he had been very careful, he still could not find a trace of a Silver-level Phantom Spirit, which made him feel slightly regretful.
In fact, each Silver-level Phantom Spirit could be considered a national strategic asset. It was not impossible for them to be lost to the public, but it was very rare.
'As far as I can remember … it's not impossible to get a Silver-level or Gold-level Phantom Spirit, but it's not the right time, and I'm not strong enough …'
Wu Ming rubbed his chin. 'Boulder City … Hmm? It seems that there is also an opportunity here. In the future, there will be a Silver-level Phantom Spirit from the Elemental Realm!
'Just in time … The Dongfang Family left some loose ends, as well as that top-grade Green Jade mine … I can solve them all at once …'
He was silent, but the auction below had reached its climax.
"Dancing Shadow Snake, private room 13 bids 1.3 million spirit coins! 1.3 million going once! Second time … Any more? If not, it will belong to private room 13! "
The emcee shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Wait! 1.5 million! "
Wu Ming was rich and overbearing, so he shouted directly.
"1.5 million!"
The emcee breathed heavily. His chest was like a broken bellows, giving people the feeling that he was about to spit out white foam at any time. "Private room 36 bids 1.5 million! 1.5 million going once! "
"Where did this idiot come from?"
"The Dancing Shadow Snake is worth at most one million. 1.3 million is too high. Give up!"
"He should be a nouveau riche who has never seen the world. But giving up now is a wise move … Unfortunately, we still have to save spirit coins for the three-tailed fox. Give up! "
…
The private rooms all around were discussing.
In terms of wealth, even though Wu Ming had made a fortune, and he had all of Princess Xing Qing's treasures, he was still far from the real rich merchants of Zhong State City.
But these big forces were not idiots. They would not throw out spirit coins for nothing. They would not do something so unprofitable, which allowed Wu Ming to succeed time and time again.
He did not stop while he was ahead. Instead, he made another move and bought the Crimson Flame Elf at a price that was fifty percent higher than the market price.
'Since they are all my items, I can just take them from left to right. At most, I'll just have to pay the auction fees for nothing …'
With this trump card, Wu Ming was naturally fearless.
"Two … two outstanding phantoms!!!"
Beside him, Bao Bujue had already entered the trap. His eyes were filled with disbelief and crazy envy. He suddenly made a decision.
…
After the auction, he became even more attentive. He was at Hou Yong's beck and call, and he won the favor of the young master and Hou Yong.
Then, he reluctantly cut his own flesh and spent more than a thousand spirit coins to invite Hou Yong to the Central Continent City's largest gambling den. After a few times, Hou Yong seemed to have completely regarded him as a brother, and many secrets were extracted from him.
"Come on! Brother Hou, drink again! "
Finally, when he was drunk, Bao Bujue finally revealed his true intentions. "Brother Hou … our young master is just a new spirit controller. How can he contract other phantom eggs? And he said he wants to change Evil Wolf? "
"Wu … You don't know …"
Hou Yong's face was flushed. He grinned and mumbled, "Our young master's ambition is very high! Evil Wolf! Evil Wolf is nothing! "
"But breaking the contract will definitely cause a backlash to the soul …"
Bao Bujue said worriedly.
"It's fine … Our master specially prepared Rainbow Jellyfish Liquid …"
Hou Yong leaned on the table and fell asleep. Beside him, Bao Bujue's body started to tremble. "Rainbow … Rainbow Jellyfish Liquid? That is the best medicine for a new spirit controller to recover from the damage to the soul! "
He shook his head excitedly. "Originally, I just wanted to steal the Dancing Shadow Snake when they were not paying attention and then run away! But I didn't expect there to be such a thing! "
Once he thought of the red flame elf, his breathing became heavy. "If I have two outstanding phantom eggs, doesn't that mean …"
Bao Bujue paced around excitedly. He pushed the door open and walked out. He wanted to come up with a foolproof plan.
…
"Good job!"
However, after he left, Wu Ming's figure slowly walked out from the shadows.
"Master …"
The wine on Hou Yong's body evaporated. "Looks like he's about to take the bait!"
"Indeed …"
This was a serious matter, and Wu Ming had always personally checked on it to prevent any mistakes.
This Hou Yong will be known as the Monkey King of Chaos in the future, so naturally, he is a smart person. Now that I look at it, he did a good job. Otherwise, I would have spent a lot of money to find a few capable actors to replace him …
Glancing at Hou Yong discreetly, Wu Ming thought to himself.
Obviously, with such a comprehensive plan and the huge difference in power, as long as Bao Bujue was greedy, he would definitely fall into his trap.
Soon! This golden opportunity had arrived.
"What? There's news of the birth of a Silver-type phantom … Bring me there quickly! "
Bao Bujue had secretly investigated the young master's hobbies and the location of his treasure. He had first lured him with valuable treasures and then came back to lure him away. "This is bad! Brother Hou, something has happened to the young master! "
With Wu Ming purposely going easy on him, Bao Bujue had gone through a lot of trouble, and his life was hanging by a thread, but he had managed to get what he wanted.
After he got what he wanted, Bao Bujue immediately ran hundreds of miles away to the secret hiding place that he had prepared in the countryside. Then, he started to count his spoils.
"Finally … Finally …"
He opened the bag and looked at the two shining Phantom eggs and a bottle of jellyfish liquid that glowed with seven colors. His face flushed with excitement.
"Contract!"
He first made a soul contract with the Dancing Shadow Snake's egg.
Whoosh!
A ray of light appeared and morphed into a strange rune that disappeared into the egg.
Crack! Crack!
Soon, numerous cracks appeared on the eggshell. It shattered, and a small pink snake crawled out.
It was about the length of a finger, and its body was pink with circles of black patterns. It stuck out its red tongue. It did not look scary but cute.
"It really is the Dancing Shadow Snake! The Dancing Shadow Snake of elite species! "
Bao Bujue's eyes were filled with tears. "Finally … I'm not useless anymore!"
