Black Gold Beast Egg

"An ancient relic, a Seal Condensing Method?"

At this, Lin Langtian's eyes lit up, and a hint of delight appeared on his face.

Ever since he had missed out on Heavy Prison Peak in the Clan Treasury because he had not mastered Essence Yuan Power, he had given considerable thought to cultivating Mental Power and becoming a Symbol Master.

On the Heavenly Profound Continent, the path of Mental Power cultivation was no weaker than Yuan Power cultivation.

Some powerful Symbol Masters could move mountains and overturn seas, and even kill without leaving a trace.

However, cultivating Mental Power was no easier than cultivating Yuan Power. Thus, aside from Symbol Masters, few powerful martial artists on the continent cultivated Mental Power alongside Yuan Power.

In Lin Langtian's recollection, in the original timeline, only Lin Dong, the Child of Destiny, seemed to have achieved remarkable accomplishments in both.

However, Lin Langtian felt that after forming a Bloodline Link with Spirit Aunt, his talent and comprehension had improved significantly. Cultivating Mental Power alongside Yuan Power would not be a problem.

The Lin Clan did possess some methods for cultivating Mental Power, but Seal Condensing Methods were exceedingly scarce and extremely low-grade, beneath his notice.

Since this Mysterious Bronze Piece was an ancient relic, the Seal Condensing Method it recorded was surely extraordinary.

Though the Imperial Clan could not decipher the contents recorded on this Mysterious Bronze Piece, that did not mean Lin Langtian could not.

As Lin Langtian pondered, this so-called Mysterious Bronze Piece clearly stirred a wave of hushed discussion throughout the auction hall.

After all, ancient relics were like a veil of mystery to people of the present day, arousing an intense desire to explore.

After Prince Mo Tianxing called out an opening bid of fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills, bids soon followed.

"Fifty-one thousand Pure Yuan Pills!"

The murmurs in the hall had not lasted long before someone tentatively made a bid, clearly intending to try their luck.

Fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills was no small sum, but there were still quite a few people here who could afford it.

"Fifty-three thousand!"

"Fifty-five thousand!"

"..."

Once someone took the lead, followers immediately emerged. However, the increases were not particularly large, as everyone remained somewhat uncertain about the Mysterious Bronze Piece, whose effects were still unclear.

Amid the successive cries of bidding, the price of the Mysterious Bronze Piece gradually rose to around sixty thousand Pure Yuan Pills. After that, the bidders became much more cautious.

"Seventy thousand Pure Yuan Pills."

Once the bidding calls had grown scarcer, a calm, indifferent voice suddenly rang out in the hall, immediately stifling those who had intended to compete for the item.

Following the voice with their gazes, they saw that the bidder was none other than Lin Langtian, seated at the very front.

Seeing Lin Langtian make a move, many were stunned. He had just spent over two hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills on a Realm-breaking Flower, and now he was throwing out another seventy thousand Pure Yuan Pills for a Mysterious Bronze Piece of unknown value. He truly was a wealthy master.

Moreover, in their impression, Lin Langtian was a martial arts genius. Why was he interested in a Seal Condensing Method involving Mental Power cultivation?

Could it be that he thought he had too much energy and wanted to become a Symbol Master as well?

At that thought, many people shook their heads.

Everyone present was among the Great Yan Empire's top geniuses. At one time or another, they too had wanted to become dual cultivators of Yuan Power and Mental Power.

Unfortunately, only after truly embarking on cultivation did they discover just how difficult it was. Not only could they not balance Yuan Power and Mental Power, but it would also severely hinder their cultivation and leave them accomplishing nothing.

Yet none of them had any intention of warning him. Instead, they secretly felt a trace of schadenfreude.

If Lin Langtian truly cultivated Mental Power alongside Yuan Power, they would be delighted.

Would that not mean that during the Seed Selection a few years from now, they would have one fierce competitor fewer?

Even Ling Qingzhu, who sat not far from Lin Langtian, had a flash of surprise in her beautiful eyes. Cultivating both Yuan Power and Mental Power was exceedingly rare even in Super Sects.

However, just as everyone believed Lin Langtian would successfully acquire the item, an unexpected voice cut in.

"Eighty thousand Pure Yuan Pills."

That voice immediately caused a stir in the hall. Curious gazes followed it, only to find the man in black robes—it was Huangpu Ying.

The added bid made Lin Langtian pause for a moment, but when he saw it was Huangpu Ying, he could not help cursing inwardly.

Damn bootlicker. I hate bootlickers!

Clearly, Huangpu Ying's participation in the bidding was still related to Ling Qingzhu's special attention toward Lin Langtian earlier.

Though Lin Langtian despised Huangpu Ying's behavior inwardly, he merely said calmly, "One hundred thousand."

This price, which had suddenly increased by twenty thousand, moved quite a few people, who then secretly felt envious.

This was what a true tycoon looked like. He tossed out one hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills without even blinking. More importantly, he was using such an enormous sum to auction a Mysterious Bronze Piece whose value was not even fully understood.

Once this auction ended, Young Master Lin Langtian's reputation for being rich and generous would surely spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital. The girls at Spring Welcome Courtyard would probably be desperate to throw themselves at him.

Even Huangpu Ying's face twitched slightly at Lin Langtian's bid.

Though he was the Huangpu Clan's foremost genius, his status within the clan was clearly not as high as Lin Langtian's within the Lin Clan. Those eighty thousand Pure Yuan Pills had nearly emptied half his private treasury.

Furthermore, judging by Lin Langtian's attitude, he had no intention of stopping. Huangpu Ying would most likely be unable to outbid him.

Besides, the Mysterious Bronze Piece held little value for him. Huangpu Ying had acted only because of jealousy.

Now that he had forced Lin Langtian to spend an extra thirty thousand Pure Yuan Pills, he was already extremely satisfied.

If he continued bidding only for Lin Langtian to suddenly stop, he would truly have nowhere to cry.

With that thought, Huangpu Ying's expression flickered, and in the end, he chose not to continue bidding.

On the auction stage, Prince Mo Tianxing felt a little regretful upon seeing this.

Lin Langtian and Huangpu Ying were both young and hot-blooded. If they had fought over it, they would surely have brought considerable profits to this auction.

However, he also understood when to stop. An undecipherable ancient bronze piece selling for one hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills was already well worth the price.

Thus, after calling out a few more times, Prince Mo Tianxing brought down the hammer and finalized the transaction.

After the Mysterious Bronze Piece was successfully auctioned for a respectable price, many more fine items appeared on the auction stage.

Among them, Lin Langtian even saw a half-step Earth-grade Spirit Treasure and Creation Martial Arts. Clearly, the Imperial Clan had brought out quite a few good items for this auction.

However, these things held little appeal for Lin Langtian, so he remained silent for the rest of the auction.

Just as he thought the auction would end like this, Prince Mo Tianxing unexpectedly brought out an egg.

A mysterious Beast Egg about the size of a human head, covered entirely in profound Black Gold Patterns.

There will be another chapter at noon.
