Chapter 483  - 450: Purebred Poisontail Earth Dragon Egg (Suggested to be read with tomorrow's chapter!)

In a VIP box, a slender-faced man in a black suit, his hair meticulously combed, stood in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the bustling scene below.

Invitations to the Muk-Chin Auction were mostly distributed in the Zhongkong Region, and most of the attendees were from powerful families of that area.

Aside from bidding on items they coveted, many were also there with the intention of socializing.

The Zhao family, the Li family, the Xu family... The man matched the people coming and going below with the data in his mind.

Soon, his gaze settled on a child in a school uniform.

The man showed a look of surprise, Whose family could this child be from?

...

"Hello, I'm Yu Ke from the Yu family in the North. Who might you be with?" a girl around 18, wearing a pink dress that revealed her rounded shoulders, asked with a proper smile as she sat on the chieftain chair next to Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang glanced at her while nibbling on pastries, "The state's."

Yu Ke: "???"

She's quite guarded... Yu Ke mused to herself.

Her eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the glorious-furred pet beast on the girl's knees.

She had seen it on the way there -- the pet beast was actually around three meters in size and capable of running through the sky.

A psychic series pet beast like this, handsome and able to carry people in flight, was simply beyond the capabilities of most to contract.

She also noticed that the girl hadn't worn an oxygen mask outside, indicating she must be at least a D-rank Beast Tamer, meaning the beast could very well belong to her instead of an elder in her family.

Others who attended the auction without much concern for appearances might just not know the threshold of the Muk-Chin Auction and were merely lucky to receive an invitation.

But the girl before her had an exceptional aura and didn't show any signs of intimidation even in such an environment without any elders. Coupled with her possession of such a rare pet beast at a young age, Yu Ke could almost assert that her background was far from ordinary.

With that thought, the girl's high level of caution seemed quite reasonable.

As someone adept at socializing, she quickly adjusted her own mentality.

Just as Yu Ke was preparing to demonstrate her social skills again, the lights in the hall changed, and a beautiful woman walked up to the front stage.

The chattering crowd quickly found their seats.

The woman flashed a smile, "Distinguished guests, good evening and welcome to this year's Muk-Chin Auction. I'm Tang Shu, a senior national auctioneer with registration number 1102876. I will be presiding over today's auction, and I'm very happy to serve you all. I hope everyone here will leave contented."

"Before we begin the auction, I will read out an important statement for this event. Attendance, please distribute the auction catalogues."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a flock of small, white-suited bird-type pet beasts burst through the surrounding windows, each clutching a catalogue in its beak.

Qiao Sang took a catalogue from the beak of one of the white bird-type pet beasts and began to flip through it.

Holy shit!

A Poisontail Earth Dragon Egg!

An SS-rank item made by Master An!

A Materializing Crystal that could solidify a spectral-type pet's illusions for one minute!

An Evolution Elixir that allows any King-level pet beast to experience evolution for a day!

Awesome! Qiao Sang danced inwardly with joy.

Where could you usually see such things!

And even if you did see them, you might not be eligible to purchase them!

But now, they were available for purchase with money, and it happened during her wealthiest year!

Qiao Sang turned the page with great excitement:

[Name: SS-rank Dark Serene Crystal]

[Introduction: A treasured nourishment for spectral series pet beasts, found in Secret Realm No.82 of the Zitiya Region]

[Appraiser: Zhu Suguai]

The auction was definitely worth attending... Qiao Sang quietly took a deep breath, steadied his heart, and his eyes became resolute.

As for the other items, let's set them aside for now, but this one, he absolutely had to get his hands on!

The auctioneer's pre-auction introduction was somewhat dull, making it feel like a host's speech before a leader took the stage, lacking the excitement one reads about in novels. Fortunately, the introduction was short, and soon it was time for the actual auction to begin.

"Coming up next, I will introduce the first item up for auction." As the woman spoke, a Pet Beast Egg under a glass cover was pushed forward by a Pet Beast, which had white-gloved paws and a chubby lower half, with hair-like appendages sticking out from both sides of its head.

At the same time, the photograph and information about the Pet Beast Egg were displayed on the virtual screen behind.

The woman announced loudly, "The first item is an egg of the Poisontail Earth Dragon!"

Those present were worldly individuals, steady as mountains, showing little reaction.

The woman seemed to anticipate everyone's reaction, and with a smile, she said:

"This Poisontail Earth Dragon Egg is not like normal Poisontail Earth Dragon Eggs. Its sire and dam, as well as any of its ancestors, were all Poisontail Earth Dragons!"

"That is to say, this is an egg of a purebred Poisontail Earth Dragon!"

Qiao Sang had an exceptional sense of hearing and almost instantly heard someone swallow nervously.

The egg of a purebred Pet Beast was not the same as that of a regular one; purebreds have rich bloodlines and carry their innate skill from birth with one hundred percent certainty.

Moreover, they have a high chance of evolving to the upper limit of their species, over 90% likelihood.

The upper limit for the Poisontail Earth Dragon species is Emperor Level.

This means, by contracting with this Poisontail Earth Dragon, as long as one has a long enough lifespan and relentlessly invests resources, there is more than a 90% chance of having an Emperor-level Pet Beast!

The woman looked around with satisfaction and then shouted, "The starting bid is 30 million!"

"35 million!" Someone immediately raised their number plate and called out.

"40 million!"

"50 million!"

"55 million!"

"60 million!"

"80 million!"

People in the room raised their hands as if they were crazy, calling out sums of money as if they were just numbers.

The amount kept climbing, and Qiao Sang went from initially being excited to gradually calming down.

A purebred Poisontail Earth Dragon was certainly exciting, but this was still just an egg, and no one knew how long it would take to hatch.

Even if it could hatch the next day, he still hadn't reached the fourth page of his Beast Taming Codex, so he couldn't immediately form a contract.

If he bought the egg in front of all these frenzied capitalists, his background might become known and he could lose the egg.

Stay calm, it's just an egg of a purebred Poisontail Earth Dragon. With his Golden Finger, the upper limit for the development of a Pet Beast wasn't an issue. What mattered most now was the Dark Serene Crystal... Qiao Sang's thoughts were clear, his expression calm.

Yu Ke stole a glance at the girl beside him, somewhat shocked, thinking damn, what kind of background does this guy have to remain so composed in the face of a purebred Poisontail Earth Dragon Egg!

The bidding process lasted for over ten minutes.

In the end, a VIP box upstairs raised their plate, and the final transaction was made for 239 million.

The auction continued.

Time passed by slowly.

Apart from the initial purebred Poisontail Earth Dragon Egg, the following bids were relatively peaceful.

Soon, the Pet Beast with white-gloved paws, a chubby lower half, and hair-like appendages on its head pushed forward another box, this one laid with purple silk and containing the Dark Serene Crystal.

"Coming up next, we will auction this Dark Serene Crystal. The starting bid is 2.6 million!"
