Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg

Inside the private room, Gu He sat quietly in his chair, fingers interlaced. As the steadily rising bids echoed in his ears, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Miteer Tushan truly deserved to be in business. He had only mentioned the effects of the Two-pattern Green Spirit Pill, but not its drawbacks.

Although the Two-pattern Green Spirit Pill could help a Dou Master break through their bottleneck and advance, it could only raise one's strength by one or two stars, and there was also a high chance of backlash.

Bids rose one after another throughout the auction hall. In just ten minutes, the price of a single Qing Ling Pill had climbed from 350,000 to around 480,000. Once the price reached this point, the bidding clearly became much sparser. After all, one pill cost 480,000, while two would be close to a million. Such a price was simply too steep for many people.

"550,000."

Just as the price lingered at 490,000, a somewhat loud voice finally rang out from a private room.

Hearing the price suddenly jump by 60,000, Gu He looked over in surprise and muttered inwardly, It seems some aristocratic family has taken a fancy to this Qing Ling Pill.

The bid coming from the private room immediately quieted the somewhat noisy auction hall.

Some people who had intended to raise the price again exchanged glances, then sat back down unwillingly.

They might have some funds, but compared to the great families in the private rooms, they would only be overestimating themselves.

Since that was the case, they might as well give up cleanly.

"560,000 gold coins!"

"570,000 gold coins!"

"580,000 gold coins!"

"590,000 gold coins!"

In the end, this Qing Ling Pill was sold for 600,000 gold coins.

After the Qing Ling Pill was auctioned off, none of the following items fetched particularly high prices. A few were even successfully bought after only one increase in price. This made Miteer Tushan on the stage ache with frustration—this was tied to his performance and income.

Fortunately, after more than ten minutes, this lull was suddenly broken. Even Gu He's attention was drawn by the item being auctioned.

On the crystal platform, Gu He carefully raised a silver tray covered by a red cloth high into the air, his face full of mystery as he faced the crowd.

"Everyone, the next item to be auctioned will surely interest you. If properly nurtured, it might even give your family another expert with the strength of a Dou Wang."

Upon hearing Miteer Tushan's introduction, Gu He vaguely guessed what was about to be auctioned.

"Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg—the Iron-winged Giant Eagle!"

At that moment, Miteer Tushan flicked his hand, shaking off the red cloth covering the silver tray. A demonic beast egg entirely blue in color immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.

"As expected..."

Looking at the blue demonic beast egg in Miteer Tushan's hand, a smile appeared at the corner of Gu He's lips.

The entirely blue demonic beast egg was covered in strange patterns, giving it an exceedingly mysterious appearance.

The moment this so-called Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg appeared, the auction hall fell somewhat silent.

But the silence did not last long before the hall became noisy once more.

Even the great families in the private rooms stirred at this moment. Clearly, this Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg had tempted them as well.

After all, if they obtained this demonic beast egg, hatched it in the future, and raised it properly, they might gain the aid of an existence at the Dou Wang realm.

Moreover, the Iron-winged Giant Eagle was a rare flying demonic beast.

"A Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg. I like it!"

In one private room, a middle-aged man stared at the demonic beast egg in Miteer Tushan's hand, his eyes blazing.

"Patriarch, this Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg will likely cost no less than a million gold coins. If we spend so extravagantly, we will not be able to compete for the Dou Wang Pill later," a man resembling a steward behind him advised softly.

"That is true. But the other great families are probably also eyeing those Dou Ling Pills. We do not have the strength to compete with them either," the middle-aged man sighed.

On the crystal auction platform, Miteer Tushan enthusiastically explained the benefits of the Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg in his hand. As the people below looked at the demonic beast egg, their eyes immediately became extremely fervent.

"Hehe, I believe everyone now understands the importance of this Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg. We will now begin its auction. The starting price is set at one million. Now, the auction begins!" Miteer Tushan said with a smile from the crystal auction platform.

"One million gold coins is a little expensive."

Hearing the price of one million, Gu He was somewhat surprised. But when he recalled that the Iron-winged Giant Eagle was a flying demonic beast, he quickly understood. "Still, while it is a little expensive, a flying demonic beast is indeed worth this price."

However, he could sense that once the price of one million was announced, many of the fervent gazes in the venue immediately diminished.

Clearly, such a high price had made many people retreat in the face of difficulty.

"1.1 million gold coins!"

"1.2 million gold coins!"

"1.3 million gold coins!"

Not long after Miteer Tushan finished speaking, voices rang out one after another from the private rooms.

Clearly, despite the high price, the allure of a Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg had still prompted many great families to make their moves.

Very quickly, the price of this demonic beast egg rose to the lofty sum of 1.7 million.

As Gu He saw the bids becoming fewer and fewer, he knew it was time for him to make his move.

That was right. This Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg was one of the auction items he had set his sights on this time.

Although this Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg was of little use to him.

His disciple seemed not to have a pet yet, did she?

If he gave this Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg to his disciple and triggered a Ten Thousandfold Return, what kind of demonic beast egg would he receive?

Thinking of this, Gu He felt somewhat expectant. Then he shouted directly, "Two million gold coins!"

The instant this price was announced, an uproar erupted throughout the auction hall.

After that, no one among the great families continued to bid.

This fellow had raised the price by 300,000 gold coins in one go, clearly announcing one thing to everyone: "I am determined to have this Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg!"

On the crystal auction platform, Miteer Tushan recognized Gu He's voice and was somewhat surprised.

Why did Lord Dan Emperor want this Fifth-grade Demonic Beast Egg?

Though puzzled, he quickly recovered. After asking the crowd three times, he heavily brought down the auction hammer in his hand.
