The Huai River Auction has three floors. The first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are private rooms.

Although the Ling Clan family is Foundation Establishment Family, it is a newly Foundation Establishment Family with a relatively weak foundation. At the auction in front of the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory, the Ling Clan is not qualified to go up to the second or third floor private rooms. They can only sit in the main hall like ordinary Rogue Cultivator or cultivators from some Qi Refining Lineage.

In the center of the lobby, there is a circular table about ten feet long.

Around the table were nearly a thousand chairs, where Ling Pengyun and the others were seated.

Before the auction started, with nothing else to do, Ling Pengyun took out the auction promotional poster he had obtained from the Liu Family Female Vendor and looked at the hundreds of spiritual items that he hadn't seen before, hoping to find something he needed.

After carefully examining it for several hundred breaths, he actually found another spiritual object he craved, besides the Flying Demonic Beast egg.

After about half an incense stick's time, when the nearly one thousand seats in the hall were almost all occupied, a deep, resonant bronze bell rang out.

The surrounding noise also disappeared.

An old man dressed in the robes of the Hundred Spirits Sect and sporting a white beard walked up to the stone platform in the center of the hall.

The old man slightly cupped his hands and smiled.

"Gentlemen, I am Yang Hua from the Hundred Spirits Sect. I will be presiding over this auction. As always, the highest bidder wins. Those who do not have enough Spirit Stone can use spirit items to bid on the spot and exchange them for Spirit Stone."

Although the old man's voice wasn't loud, it was amplified and carried throughout the entire auction house thanks to the minor spell Law Technique Sound Amplification Technique.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man took out a Glass Bottle specifically for storing blood from his Storage Bag at his waist and spoke again.

"Ten catties of the blood of First-Tier Superior-Grade Demon Beast, the Blazing Fire Crow. This blood is a good material for refining high-quality Ling Mo. The starting price is five Spirit Stone, and each bid cannot be lower than five Spirit Stone."

"Ten Spirit Stone."

"Fifteen Spirit Stone."

"Twenty Spirit Stone."

The Blazing Fire Crow belongs to the fire element and is not very large. Each Blazing Fire Crow has at most one or two pounds of blood in its body, so it is extremely difficult to collect ten pounds.

The blood of the Blazing Fire Crow is also a good material for refining Talisman Ink. Using this Talisman Ink to draw Fire Element -Fire Element Spirit Talisman Cave can increase Spirit Talisman Cave power.

Before long, the bottle of Blazing Fire Crow blood was bought by a middle-aged cultivator with a plump figure and a slightly luxurious air for thirty-five Spirit Stone.

After this person won the bid for the spiritual item, a pretty maidservant went up to the auction stage, took the bottle of Blazing Fire Crow Blood from Yang Hua's hand, and handed it to the overweight middle-aged cultivator sitting in the main hall. It was a cash-on-delivery transaction.

During this time, Yang Hua, who was hosting the auction, waved a gold vest out of his Storage Bag and began to introduce it.

"The second item up for auction is a First-Tier Superior-Grade -First Rank Middle Grade Law Artifact, the Golden Silk Inner Armor, which is made from the silk spun by a high-grade first-tier Golden Silk Silkworm. This armor has extremely strong defensive capabilities and is enough to withstand the full force of First-Tier Superior-Grade attack Law Artifact. The starting price is eighty Spirit Stone, and the bid must not be lower than five Spirit Stone."

"Eighty-five Spirit Stone."

"Ninety Spirit Stone."

"Ninety-five Spirit Stone."

This Golden Silk Inner Armor is a life-saving item, and it naturally became highly sought after by those in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining, causing its price to gradually soar.

In just a few dozen breaths, this Golden Silk Inner Armor was auctioned off to a Qi Training Late Stage cultivator for 110 Spirit Stone, a price far exceeding that of ordinary First Rank Middle Grade Law Artifact.

Subsequently, Yang Hua, who was in charge of the auction, took out nearly a hundred more spiritual items for auction.

Although these spiritual items are all needed by Qi Training Stage cultivators, their quality has been rising, and the transaction price has also increased accordingly, gradually making the atmosphere in the venue more and more lively.

Just after Yang Hua successfully auctioned off a bottle of Healing Treasure Pill "White Jade Pill," a maid carrying a tray covered with a red cloth went up to the auction stage and walked to Yang Hua's side.

Yang Hua, who was presiding over the auction, lifted the red cloth, revealing a giant, yellowish-brown egg the size of a vegetable plate on the tray.

"A spirit egg of First-Tier Superior-Grade Demon Beast, the Earth Rock Turtle. The egg is full of vitality and will hatch after some time. Earth Rock Turtle are primarily defensive, and the Earth Rock Turtle clan has a certain probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It is possible that this spirit turtle will also possess Foundation Establishment bloodline after hatching. Even if this turtle does not have Foundation Establishment bloodline, its powerful defensive ability can still be a great help to ordinary Qi Refining cultivators."

"The starting price for this egg is fifty Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least five Spirit Stone higher."

As soon as the words were spoken, bids began to be placed in succession in the auction hall.

After several price increases, the turtle egg was purchased for two hundred Spirit Stone by a man's voice coming from a private room on the second floor.

Subsequently, two more spirit eggs laid by powerful First-Tier Superior-Grade Demon Beast were auctioned off, selling for 195 Spirit Stone and 230 Spirit Stone respectively.

After the two Demon Beast eggs were sold, another maid came from the back of the room, carrying a tray covered with a red cloth, and went up to the auction stage, walking to Yang Hua's side.

Yang Hua lifted the red cloth, revealing a large, blue egg on the tray, roughly the same size as Earth Rock Turtle egg.

"The Wind Shadow Peng Spirit Egg has finally made its appearance." Ling Pengyun, who was sitting in the hall, saw the giant blue egg and his eyes lit up. He thought to himself excitedly.

"A spirit egg laid by Second Rank Low Grade Wind Shadow Peng. The egg is rich in vitality and can be hatched. The Wind Shadow Peng is known for its speed. It can travel 1,500 miles a day in the Early-Stage Qi Training, 3,000 miles a day in the Qi Training Middle Stage stage of Qi Training Late Stage stage of Qi Refining. If it is cultivated to the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, it can travel 10,000 miles a day."

"Besides its extremely fast speed, this Peng bird is also quite strong. The cultivation Lineage in my Hundred Spirits Sect should not miss this opportunity. This Peng bird egg truly possesses Foundation Establishment bloodline. Who knows, in the hands of your great clans, it might be able to be nurtured to the Foundation Establishment Realm and become Guardian Spirit Beast of your clan."

"The starting price for this roc egg is one hundred Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least five Spirit Stone higher."

Flying Demonic Beast are of utmost importance to cultivators, especially a spirit egg with the bloodline of a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast. As long as it is hatched and nurtured, it can at least be nurtured to the Qi Training Late Stage.

Tempted by Yang Hua's words, many cultivators immediately started bidding.

Ling Pengyun was the first to call out a price, "One hundred and ten Spirit Stone."

"One hundred and twenty Spirit Stone."

"One hundred and thirty Spirit Stone."

After more than a dozen rounds of bidding, the price of the Wind Shadow Peng rose higher and higher, eventually reaching 350 Spirit Stone.

Such a price also led to fewer and fewer bidders. Apart from the VIPs in a private room on the second floor, there was only Ling Pengyun in the lobby and a young member of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan clan, a Foundation Establishment family in Huai River County, who was also in the lobby.

The female Liu Family Female Vendor, "Liu Yuxin," who had previously sold Ling Pengyun's Songhua Chicken Spirit Egg, was sitting next to the young man surnamed Liu Clan.

Liu Yuxin glanced up and saw that, apart from one person in the second-floor private room bidding against her elder brother for the Wind Shadow Peng egg, the other person was Ling Pengyun, who had bought the Pine Flower Egg from her. She frowned and muttered to herself.

"I never expected that the Ling Clan cultivator would actually come for the Wind Shadow Peng Spirit Egg. If I had known, I shouldn't have told that kid that there were Flying Demonic Beast eggs at the auction. If my elder brother had missed out on this Wind Shadow Peng Spirit Egg, I would have been in grave danger."

But how could this silly girl have imagined it?

During this Huai River Little Meet, how many people who come to the Huai River Market Town will not come to see the auction?

Even without this silly girl's advice, Ling Pengyun would still have come to the auction house and bid.

Sitting next to Ling Pengyun, Ling Yunhong noticed Ling Pengyun's hesitation and thought he might raise the price further, so he quickly advised, "Peng Yun, although the bloodline of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast's egg is good, this Peng bird only possesses Foundation Establishment bloodline. The probability of it actually reaching Foundation Establishment is probably less than 50%. The current price exceeds the normal price of Wind Shadow Peng bird egg. If you haven't won it within four hundred Spirit Stone, then give up. Don't waste Spirit Stone; earning Spirit Stone is not easy."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun nodded slightly, knowing full well that the price far exceeded the value of the Wind Shadow Peng Egg.

Although this Wind Shadow Peng egg has the bloodline of Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, it is still uncertain whether this egg can grow to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Furthermore, the resources required to cultivate this roc, the time required for its growth, and so on are all unpredictable.

However, the Wind Shadow Peng was indeed something he desired, and he could not give it up.

Even if the Wind Shadow Peng Egg's aptitude isn't high enough to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm after hatching, Ling Pengyun has "Primordial Creation Qi," which is enough to improve its aptitude. As for resources, given his talent in weapon crafting and Spirit Plant cultivation, he has enough to support the training of a Spirit Beast.

Ling Pengyun gritted his teeth and continued bidding. "Three hundred and sixty Spirit Stone."

"Three hundred and seventy Spirit Stone."

"Three hundred and eighty Spirit Stone."

In the end, Ling Pengyun successfully bid for the Peng bird egg at a high price of 450 Spirit Stone.

A short while later, a maid brought the Wind Shadow Peng egg to where Ling Pengyun was sitting.

Although Ling Pengyun reluctantly paid the four hundred and fifty Spirit Stone, he was extremely excited when he received the Wind Shadow Peng Spirit Egg from the maid.

Once this Wind Shadow Peng egg hatches, it will not only be his Spirit Beast, but also an aid in his future battles.

"This time, the Wind Shadow Peng Egg was successfully auctioned off. Now, all that's left is for the Earth Spring Spirit Emulsion to be auctioned off." Ling Pengyun waved his hand and put the Beast Taming Pouch into his Storage Bag. He looked at the auction stage, his eyes burning with desire as he muttered to himself.
