"Haven’t you heard? While thoroughbreds are common, worthy trainers are rare. These mere hundreds of thousands of gold can’t compare to the boundless potential of that young beast cultivator. I refuse to believe such a heavy assault won’t break open his heart’s door." Dolmont chuckled wickedly, as if he’d already roped Su Chen into joining him. "That’s not certain." Dolmont blinked and jolted from his seat, "Tianhui, what do you mean by that?" Tianhui crossed his arms and smiled indifferently, "You’ve got your schemes, and I’ve got my ways. From now on, let’s each do our best to recruit talents." Ignoring Dolmont’s greenish-fat face, he slowly walked away. "Tianhui, you sly old fox, are you trying to undermine me!" But he only saw Tianhui’s indifferent back slowly departing, and could do nothing but limp into his chair, clenching his teeth, "Damn it, I have no idea what tricks he’s playing!" Twenty minutes later. Watching the red cloth slowly unveil on the stage, everyone’s eyes widened, not daring to let down their guard. Because beneath the red cloth emerged a round, smooth jade stone! The jade was translucent, with a faint glow flowing across its surface, emitting an undeniable energy aura. Although most nobles below were ordinary people, the refreshing aura astonished them. "Indeed, it truly is a thousand-year-old beast crystal stone, so pure in color, with an energy aura scarily high." Snow Jieke, who has a strong understanding of spiritual objects, sighed. At the same time, Nalan Qing, Nanding Xiongqi, and Caster all stood beside Nanding Ge’Er, watching the beast crystal stone, with amazement on their faces. "It’s a shame I’m already a Beast King and have no use for this beast crystal stone. Otherwise, I’d really want to snatch it." Caster said with a blank expression. Nalan Qing’s mouth twitched, forcing a few dry laughs, "Lord Caster is indeed humorous." Nanding Ge’Er covered her mouth with a smile, "Nalan Clan Leader, I’ve heard Young Master Nalan is already a Three-star Beast Master; this beast crystal stone is incredibly important to him." Nalan Qing glanced at her, his face calm but inwardly he thought, does he really need you to say this, little mercenary, you’ve learned quite a few tricks to deceive people. "Thanks for Miss Nanding’s recognition. Kang has indeed been stuck at Three-star Beast Master for quite a while, always contemplating how to break the shackles for another advancement. This time, with the help of this beast crystal stone, I believe he will succeed." "So the Nalan Clan Leader truly has his sights set on it." A glimmer of cunning flashed in Nanding Ge’Er’s eyes. "That is certain, besides, my relationship with Lord Tianhui is not as simple as outsiders perceive, I believe he also wishes for the beast crystal stone to belong to the Nalan Family." Nanding Xiongqi let out a significant chuckle... "Alright, next up is the main event of this auction! Guests, please make sure to see clearly, this beast crystal stone, soaked in the ’Celestial Fragrance Spring’ of the Forest of Death for a millennium, can rapidly dissolve once inside the body, converting to the energy cultivated by beast cultivators, thereby aiding in their level up. It’s a treasure not to be met once in a thousand years. No one knows exactly how much energy is contained inside, but if lucky, it might instantaneously boost one or two stars!" Even the composed nobles couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement! Meanwhile, Nalan Kang, whose eyes were glued to the stage, nearly shouted out in surprise! Two stars, that for a three-star Beast Master like himself, would be like a divine opportunity! Beast Sovereign, a term he never dared to think much about, suddenly flashed through his mind! Making his excited eyes sparkle brightly! "I must obtain this beast crystal stone!" Seeing his exuberant demeanor, Ginny’s heart skipped a beat, and for no apparent reason, she glanced back at that indifferent young man. An unusual feeling stirred within her. "Alright, let’s cut the nonsense, all the magic can only be witnessed once you clinch it in the auction! Next, the bidding for this thousand-year-old beast crystal stone starts; the starting bid is seven hundred thousand!" A gasp of cold breaths instantly rose from below! Yet, following the gasps, came Nalan Kang’s exceedingly excited voice, "Seven hundred fifty thousand!" "Alright, seven hundred fifty thousand for the first!" "I’ll bid seven hundred eighty thousand!" A young noble, whose face was also flushed, called out from the crowd! "Eight hundred thousand!" Nalan Kang gritted his teeth and shouted! "Eight hundred thirty thousand!" Another noble, distressed about his son’s beast cultivation situation, gave their bid! "Eight hundred fifty thousand!" Listening to those increasingly restless voices around him, watching the nobles no longer expressing grace, Phoenix felt a sense of desperation. The two items had only fetched thirty-five hundred thousand, yet this pervasive overwhelming sense of joy was instantly crushed by this series of skyrocketing numbers! How could he buy back the family’s and his father’s honor with money! Su Chen’s aura also grew colder, observing Nalan Kang flushed with anger, competing chaotically with other nobles, he suddenly wished he owned millions in assets! But he couldn’t, despite having the potential for beast cultivation, he was still left in the cold in this place of ultimate luxury! He clenched his fist, repeatedly suppressing his wild heartbeat, again and again... Nalan Kang roared like a raging lion, suddenly shouting out an astronomical number! Silence fell, the whole scene was mute, even the several unyielding aristocrats trembled, not daring to bid boldly anymore. They almost simultaneously looked at others, seeking a subtle hint. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
