Chapter 44 Earthly Beast Eggs
On the VIP stands.
Facing the hatred and anger of a crowd of senior cultivators, Mu Renlong and Mu Maode felt the pressure.
Even Mu Renlong, who was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, was a bit fidgety.
Those old cultivators, seniority and connections are not bad, there are a few barely counted as his elders, and there is no lack of outstanding people among their descendants.
The Mu Family's senior management is also complaining, they completely took the blame and attracted hatred for Lu Changan.
Those senior cultivators didn't think that Lu Changan, a youngster, would purchase the Life Extension Pill regardless of the cost.
With that kind of financial power, purchasing a rank-breaking elixir doesn't smell good?
It must have been the authorization of the Mu Family's senior management!
"Four hundred and sixty." A white-haired old man gritted his teeth and said.
"Five hundred!"
Lu Chang'an was calm and collected, as if the offer had nothing to do with him.
Mu Xiu Yun's starry eyes turned, recalling that night when Lu Chang'an quickly agreed to participate in the auction together, she couldn't help but smile.
Lu Chang'an obviously expected to face the pressure of a group of old men when competing for the Life Extension Pill.
Luckily, Lu Chang'an was covered by the Immortal Cultivation forces.
If he was a loose cultivator with no background, he would have to weigh his options.
"Mu Renlong, you're ruthless!"
Facing Lu Changan's strong offer, those senior cultivators on the field finally gave up bidding.
There were still two Life Extension Pills anyway.
There was no need to fight hard with a rash young man backed by a Foundation Establishment Family.
They even suspected that Lu Chang'an might be a trustee hired by the Life Extension Pill seller.
"Five hundred spirit stones, is there any fellow Daoist who would like to bid higher? Life Extension Pill, can not be found......"
The feather-robed old man looked around, his tone impassioned.
"Five hundred spirit stones once...... five hundred spirit stones three times!"
"The first Longevity Extension Pill, won by the guest on VIP platform number seven."
The feather-robed old man looked towards the VIP platform where the Mu Clan was located, his gaze lingering on Lu Chang'an for a split second.
The fact that the first Life Extension Pill was auctioned off by a youngster was a surprise to all the forces on the field.
"That kid, it seems like he's a turtle talisman master in the workshop?" "A turtle talisman master? I've heard that this person is quite life-thirsty, no wonder he is competing with the senior citizens for the Life Extension Pill."
"Such behavior is really disgraceful!"
At the auction, some cultivators recognized Lu Chang'an's identity and either despised or tasted it.
After all, Lu Chang'an was able to take out such a large amount of spirit stones to buy the Life Extension Pill, his financial strength exceeded most of the Qi Refining Stage.
"The second Life Extension Dan, the starting price is the same two hundred lower grade spirit stones, everyone can grasp the opportunity......"
On the auction stage, the second Life Extension Dan began to bid.
Lu Chang'an's heart is slightly moved, a life-extension Dan may not be able to test his own conjecture on the Evergreen Merit.
But it is not good to compete for the second one.
"Lu Chang'an, the effects of the Life Extension Pill can't be stacked, so you leave those senior citizens a way out."
Mu Renlong's eyelids slightly jumped as he opened his mouth.
If Lu Chang'an were to bid for it again, the Mu Family hierarchy would be somewhat unable to withstand the pressure.
Lu Chang'an's behavior had attracted hatred from the Mu Family hierarchy, but it was reasonable for the family to cover for the juniors in the clan.
Thus, there was no blame on Lu Changan.
The reason why the family was cohesive was because it was very united.
Lu Chang'an was not the only one from the Mu Family who participated in the auction this time.
......
After Lu Chang'an, the second and third Life Extension Pills were auctioned for more than five hundred and fifty stones.
It seems that Lu Chang'an took advantage of the first one.
In fact, some of the old cultivators present may not be able to pay a higher price with their life savings.
It's just a matter of whether it's worth it or not.
As in Lu Chang'an's previous life on Earth, many old people are seriously ill and dying, if they dump their family's money and sell their houses and cars, they can barely survive for a few years.
In the Immortal Cultivation world, those who have reached the end of their lifespan, their bodily functions and mana fail, and even if they renew their lives for another ten years, it is impossible for them to break through to a higher realm.
It would be better to train a few more Qi Refining Cultivators at that cost.
"Senior, this is the Life Extension Pill you bid on."
A law enforcement cultivator escorted a beautiful waitress to deliver the first-order Life Extension Pill to the Mu Clan's VIP table.
Lu Changan took the Life Extension Pill, examined it and paid 500 spirit stones.
The auction actually has a handling fee, but it is borne by the seller.
Lu Chang'an put away the Life Extension Pill and didn't take it immediately, the occasion was not suitable for verifying the Evergreen Technique.
The auction proceeded in an orderly manner.
Then some of the auction items appeared, such as secret techniques, cultivation techniques, fine talismans, top-grade magic weapons, and so on.
People were dazzled, and the craze continued.
During this period, the Mu Family's senior management bid for a top-grade magic weapon.
Mu Xiu Yun personally also made a bid to auction off a face-improving pill, and blushed slightly under her father's watchful eye.
The face-improving pill can greatly slow down the aging of the appearance, than the second-order face-improving pill effect is a little worse.
Lu Chang'an could understand.
Mu Xiu Yun's actual age is similar to his, due to the high cultivation level and the art of skin care, she looks in her twenties, her skin is like jade, bright and moist with light.
It is the stage where a woman has the most charm and flavor.
......
The auction lasted for one day, during which there was an intermission.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next is the Spirit Beast Auction Specialty of the Royal Beast Zhou Family, a total of ten Spirit Beasts and cubs with excellent bloodlines will be auctioned."
The auction entered the second half, the feather-robed old man raised his hand to welcome a pure and delicate yellow dress girl to the stage.
"This is Zhou Qingxuan, the Zhou Family's genius Beast Master, and the two of us will be co-chairing the next auction."
The feather-robed old man introduced.
The yellow-skirted girl had an exquisite face, her eyes were like a bit of paint, bright and pure.
It was Zhou Qingxuan whom Lu Chang'an had dealt with before.
"Qingxuan is only assisting in the auction, introducing and answering some information about spirit beasts."
Zhou Qingxuan elegantly owed a bow, generous and very different from her usual playful elfin self.
Lu Changan sighed, worthy of being the genius granddaughter of the Zhou family, three or four years have not seen, Zhou Qingxuan, who was at the same cultivation level as himself, has now cultivated to the seventh level of qi cultivation.
To have this woman on stage at the Zhou Clan's auction is a sign of her importance. "The first beast to be auctioned by the Zhou family, the Black Blooded Pony, has a medium quality bloodline. This horse is a rare mutant bloodline, endurance and speed far more than ordinary spirit pony horse, can cross three or five feet of cliffs, adapted to a variety of terrain......"
While the feather-robed old man was introducing, Zhou Qingxuan opened her spirit pet pouch and released an unusually robust, black with blood spots spirit colt horse.
When the black blood horse appeared, it hissed with a violent temper, but after Zhou Qingxuan's onion finger pointed at it, it immediately became docile.
Zhou Qingxuan's presence on the stage was not only to assist in the auction, but also to calm the beast.
The difference between spirit beasts and ordinary demons and exotic beasts was that they had been domesticated or bred in captivity.
They are more humane, but also less aggressive.
"Black-blooded Spirit Pony, excellent bloodline, suitable for breeding family spirit ponies. Starting price eighty spirit stones......"
"White Spirit Fox, possesses a top quality bloodline, high spiritual intelligence, good at spiritual charm, snow white fur, suitable for female cultivators to hold and raise......"
With Zhou Qingxuan's cooperation, a spirit beast went up to the stage for bidding.
In addition to spirit beasts, there were also spirit beast cubs, including spirit beast eggs.
Some cultivators preferred to raise their spirit beast cubs from a young age for loyalty reasons.
Of course, this is limited to spirit beasts with high bloodline grades and faster growth.
"The next auction item is a bit special, it is the egg of an unhatched 'Xuan Shui Turtle' with an Earth Grade bloodline!"
The feather-robed old man narrated, setting the mood.
"Everyone should have heard that there is a third-order Xuan Shui Turtle in the neighboring Immortal Cultivation World, whose strength is comparable to that of a JieDan real person, and has lived for more than a thousand years, guarding the clan all the time."
At this moment, Zhou Qingxuan took out a dark gray egg and placed it on the maid's tray.
"Xuan Shui Turtle, Earth Grade Bloodline!"
Many cultivators were wide-eyed and wondered.
A spirit beast's bloodline reaching Earth Grade is no small feat.
It is equivalent to a cultivator's Earth Spiritual Root.
The qualification of an Earth Spiritual Root is rare even in Immortal Cultivation Sects.
Every Earth Spirit Root is cultivated as a seed for the formation of the Dan.
"Xuan Shui Turtle, huh......"
Some cultivators with extensive knowledge revealed an unimpressed smile.
"The Xuan Shui Tortoise is an Earth Grade bloodline yes, but this tortoise grows slowly, more than two hundred years before it can be promoted to the second rank, five or six hundred years before it can be promoted to the third rank."
Mu Maode laughed.
Five to six hundred years is equivalent to the long life of a real dan practitioner.
The ordinary Foundation Establishment Clans often don't last more than five or six hundred years.
Even the Royal Beast Zhou Clan, whose False Pill real person has a lifespan of 300 decades, can't wait until the Xuan Shui Turtle grows to the third stage.
This is not counting the resources invested in the growth of the Xuan Shui Turtle.
"The turtle has one advantage, it has a long lifespan, three times that of a cultivator of the same rank. This is something that suits me."
Lu Chang'an secretly thought.
"Miss Zhou, this Xuan Shui Turtle's egg, the life breath seems a bit weak?"
A Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense swept over the gray egg on the tray and said with a slight frown.
"I'm not going to hide it from you all, this turtle egg may have been stored for too long, or it may have been affected by external forces, and the life force it contains is a few points weaker than that of an ordinary beast egg."
Zhou Qingxuan's voice was clear and crisp as she spoke frankly.
Weak life force?
Some of the interested cultivators couldn't help but lose interest.
The life qi in the eggshell is weak, and when it hatches out, it may be a sickly child with a weak innate constitution, and its strength is not comparable to that of its peers.
If not for this, the Royal Beast Zhou Clan would not have sold this Earth Grade Spirit Beast egg so easily.
"Xuan Shui Turtle Egg, starting price 240 spirit stones. This turtle has a long lifespan and a docile and loyal character, suitable for cultivation as a town spirit beast......."
