Mo Tianxing: Brother, I'm Sweating Bullets!

The monster was quite large, but it had obviously been dead for a long time, with its flesh and bones showing signs of dehydration. The most striking feature was its pair of giant wings, which had turned into stark white bones.

The giant wings were quite peculiar, their material resembling jade, emitting a faint fluorescence. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that these wings likely contained some kind of strange energy.

The fact that this magical beast could retain some energy in its body for so long after death indicates that it must have been of a high level in life.

"Hehe, this demonic beast corpse was obtained by chance in a mountain stream by my Black Emperor Sect. After the sect leader's personal appraisal, this demonic beast should be a peerless ferocious beast that is about to break through the seventh rank and advance to the eighth rank!"

The white-haired old man smiled slightly, then said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the hall. A magical beast that was about to advance to the eighth rank? Wasn't that equivalent to Dou Zun expert in human terms? Magical beasts of this rank usually possessed extraordinary abilities and had extremely long lifespans. How could they have died here?

Amidst the uproar in the auction hall, Xiao Yuan's gaze was fixed on the corpse of the demonic beast. After a moment, it shifted to the pair of jade-like wings, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

That's the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix!

Previously, he had obtained the method for manufacturing aircraft Dou Technique from the unlucky Yan Luotian Golden Goose Sect, namely the Heavenly Goose Nine Transformations Wings.

Xiao Yuan had long been eyeing this Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

However, if you let him look for it himself, he definitely won't find it.

Unless you go to the Central State, ambush and kill a member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and then tear off their wings.

To be honest, it's a bit difficult.

After all, the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix in front of them was almost at the eighth level.

If Xiao Yuan is going to do something, he definitely hopes to get wings of similar quality.

However, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was too fast. Even if the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, which was at the Dou Zong level, was running at full speed, Xiao Yuan was not confident that he could stop it.

It's certainly a great thing that we were able to obtain the wings of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix so easily right now.

With a slight movement of his hand, Xiao Yuan conjured a golden scroll, which he casually tossed to Xiao Yan.

"Brother, what's this?"

Xiao Yan looked at the five large characters on the scroll, "Heavenly Goose Nine Transformations Wings," and asked with some doubt.

"Just open it and you'll see."

Xiao Yuan smiled.

He didn't intend to keep this for himself.

He planned to trick Xiao Yan, making him a target of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, thus accelerating Xiao Yan's cultivation speed.

Gaining speed always comes at a price! What bad intentions could Xiao Yuan possibly have? He just wanted to help Xiao Yan create a three-in-one version of the bloodline power, just like in the original timeline.

On the other side, Xiao Yan began to study the scroll in his hand.

He quickly understood what Xiao Yuan meant.

The unique feature of the Heavenly Goose Nine Transformations Wings is that it is a rather unconventional evolutionary flight wing. The strength of this Flying Dou Technique depends entirely on the materials used in its crafting. If the materials are of a high grade, it can be of great help even to some Dou Zong level experts. However, if the materials are of poor quality, it will become a useless tool.

The most important material for crafting the Heavenly Goose Nine Transformations Wings is the wings of flying magical beasts, and the corpse of the magical beast in front of us just happens to meet this requirement.

With his exceptional soul perception, Xiao Yan could indeed vaguely sense that the pair of white, jade-like wings contained a rich and pure energy. Therefore, he somewhat believed the white-haired old man's claim that the beast was about to enter the eighth rank. After all, the fact that the wings could still contain such abundant energy after so long of death was something he had never seen before in all these years.

He was certain that if he were to use these jade-like bone wings to forge the Heavenly Goose Nine Transformations Wings, their speed would be unmatched even among those at the Dou Zong level. Even if he couldn't win a fight, escaping wouldn't be too difficult.

But, what does it mean that Third Brother showed me this Dou Technique?

"You know my trump card. This thing has its uses for me, but it has even greater uses for you."

Xiao Yuan said slowly and deliberately.

"Brother, this won't do."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and quickly tried to refuse.

"Why not? Within half a year, I will break through to the Dou Zong realm. At that time, with my Wind and Thunder Douqi and Three Thousand Lightning Movement, how much do you think these wings will enhance me?"

Xiao Yuan's tone became more serious upon hearing this, and he reprimanded softly.

"I'm giving this to you because you need its help more, and because it will have a much greater effect on you than on me. Besides, if I say I'm giving it to you, do you dare refuse?"

By the end, Xiao Yuan's face had completely darkened.

"Elder brother"

Xiao Yan certainly wouldn't dare, and besides, what his Third Brother said made sense; they were brothers, so there was no need to refuse like that.

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

Xiao Yan said in a muffled voice.

"Why are you being so polite with me? It's not like I'm giving you this good stuff for free. Help me refine some pills later."

Xiao Yuan smiled and turned his gaze back to the auction house.

This unusual item attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the VIP section. A peerless ferocious beast about to break through to the eighth rank was a terrifying prospect for anyone present. If the beast still had any life force, the powerful veterans in the auction house would have fled immediately. At their level, they understood better than ordinary people just how terrifying a beast about to break through to the eighth rank was. Fortunately, it was just the corpse of a magical beast that had already lost all signs of life, and it was a dried corpse that had been dried for who knows how many years. As a result, the people present did not hide their curiosity at all. Some powerful figures gathered around and began to whisper among themselves, and it seemed that they were all quite interested in this thing.

On the auction stage, the white-haired old man smiled as he watched the whispering VIPs. He knew that these people had the richest stock, and only they could bring out something that would truly tempt the Black Emperor Sect.

"Hehe, everyone, this mummified demonic beast has been perfectly preserved since our Black Emperor Sect obtained it, without suffering any damage. Moreover, I can assure you that our Black Emperor Sect has never touched this mummified demonic beast. In other words, we have no idea what is inside this demonic beast. Similarly, we also do not know whether there is a super Magic Core inside that is about to break through to the eighth rank."

The white-haired old man smiled and said.

The white-haired old man's words were undoubtedly another bombshell. Everyone knew that this kind of peerless ferocious beast was a treasure trove. Its skin could be used as armor, its claws and teeth were sharper than weapons made of some special metals, and its blood was certainly filled with powerful and violent energy. For some alchemists, it was an excellent material for alchemy. Of course, the most important thing was its Magic Core. One could imagine what kind of terrifying energy a Magic Core of a beast that was about to break through to the eighth rank contained!

The combined value of these items is immeasurable, so the white-haired old man's words instantly caused the price of the dried monster corpse to skyrocket. "Enough with the nonsense, just name your price."

Whispers echoed throughout the auction hall. After a while, a man in the VIP section finally spoke up, sounding somewhat impatient.

Hearing the shout, the white-haired old man's smile remained unchanged. He shook his head slightly at the auction hall and said with a smile, "Distinguished guests, you must all know how valuable a magical beast that is about to break through to the eighth rank is. Its value cannot be measured in Gold Coins. Therefore, this auction will not sell Gold Coins, but will be a barter system!"

Upon hearing the white-haired elder's request, many in the VIP section frowned and fell silent. For them, Gold Coins were gone, but they could always get more; money was something they could always acquire. However, bartering for this mummified demonic beast would require offering something truly valuable. Who wouldn't treasure such items? Asking them to part with them was a painful prospect! Looking at the now-silent auction hall, the white-haired elder, though still smiling, had beads of cold sweat on his forehead. The mummified demonic beast wasn't actually as valuable as he claimed; otherwise, the Black Emperor Sect wouldn't have put it up for auction. This demonic beast had been dead for countless years, and with the corrosive effects of time, its body contained little trace of energy.

Furthermore, they had used secret methods to detect the mummified corpse, and found that the blood content was pitifully low. As for the so-called Magic Core, there was no indication of its existence. If it weren't for the deliberate attempt to create the illusion of high value, this item probably wouldn't have been kept until now for auction.

The people in the VIP seats weren't fools. If they really had Eighth Rank Magic Core, would the Black Emperor Sect be willing to buy it? They would have had the monster's corpse processed and sold as a finished product—that would have made them incredibly wealthy. Buying the whole thing as a package deal like this? Something's fishy going on!

As for the white-haired old man's numerous assurances, they viewed them as nothing more than praise uttered by a prostitute to please her, utterly devoid of credibility.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere in the auction house remained silent. The white-haired old man's vest was soaked with sweat. The sect had high hopes for this mummified demonic beast corpse. If it couldn't even be sold at auction, he would be considered to have failed in his duties and would face punishment from the sect.

The silence continued, and just as the white-haired old man was about to reach his limit, Xiao Yuan smiled, and then his clear, cold voice broke the silence in the auction hall.

"Two Dou Ling Pill."

The sudden bid instantly caused an uproar in the entire auction hall. The Dou Ling Pill was a wonderful pill that could directly enhance the strength of Dou Wang expert. This kind of pill was extremely attractive to some of the powerful figures present. After all, it was no easy task to increase one star of strength at the Dou Wang level. Sometimes, it was not impossible to achieve even after several years of effort.

The years of hard work required for cultivation can now be compensated for with just one pill, which undoubtedly makes many powerful individuals quite covetous.

Of course, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan didn't perceive this very strongly, since they hadn't really experienced it in detail before becoming Dou Emperor.

Pills like the Dou Ling Pill are generally not something any organization would be willing to auction off. After all, possessing such a pill can enhance the strength of some of the core experts within a sect. Such pills are usually in short supply and would never be auctioned off.

Therefore, when everyone heard that someone was willing to exchange such a pill for it, they were all taken aback, and then all eyes turned to the most central private room in the VIP section.

Compared to the many surprised and doubtful voices, the others in the VIP seats seemed much calmer. After all, they all knew that this woman was powerful and capable of killing even Dou Zong, and was also Sixth Grade Alchemist. It was not surprising that she could do such a thing.

On the auction stage, the white-haired old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone make a bid, but he hesitated. Although the two Dou Ling Pill were quite valuable, it was hard to accept that he could exchange them for the dried corpse of the demonic beast.

After all, no matter what, this big guy was a peerless ferocious beast that was about to enter the eighth rank. Although this peerless ferocious beast has now become a dried corpse, the tiger may be dead, but its power still remains. How much more so a magical beast of such a level? The one who made the bid was the one that the sect leader said he wanted to befriend, but the price was really lower than expected.

With this thought flashing through his mind, the white-haired old man subtly glanced at a certain spot in the auction hall. After seeing Mo Tianxing struggle for a moment before finally shaking his head, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart. Then, his face remained full of smiles as he swept his gaze across the VIP seats and said with a smile, "This young lady has bid two Dou Ling Pill. I wonder if anyone else has bid higher?"

"Would a Earth Rank Low Level Dou Technique do?" As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, a hesitant voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired elder was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile and said to the source of the voice, "I'm sorry, although Earth Rank Low Level Dou Technique are quite valuable, compared to that, my Black Emperor Sect still prefers those two Dou Ling Pill."

Upon hearing this, the old man who had spoken could only shake his head helplessly, mutter a few words, and then sit back down, presumably having lost interest in bidding on the mummified beast corpse again.

As the old man sat down, the VIPs fell silent. Many of them didn't have the same gambling spirit. After all, if they really spent a fortune to buy a useless corpse, the loss would be so great that it would make them want to bang their heads against a wall.

Seeing the silence that returned, the white-haired old man was filled with frustration. Two Dou Ling Pill were far from the Black Emperor Sect's valuation of the mummified demonic beast. If they sold it like this, they would be the ones who lost money.

As if knowing what he was thinking, the cold voice rang out again. "You can sell a picked-up mummy of a magical beast for such a price? You're getting something for nothing and still feel like you're losing out. The Black Emperor Sect certainly knows how to do business. How about this, I'll offer three Dou Ling Pill and two Imperial Zenith Pill, and then I'll cut open this corpse on the spot. If there's no Magic Core or essence blood inside, I wonder if the Black Emperor Sect is engaging in false advertising?"

"You dare to try and scam me? It seems Sect Leader Mo wants to experience my methods firsthand."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked on with anticipation, but they couldn't help but be shocked by the mysterious woman's audacity. Three Dou Ling Pill and two Imperial Zenith Pill —such a gesture was enough to drive any force in the Black-Corner Region crazy.

Mo Tianxing's expression changed upon hearing this. Logically speaking, dissecting a corpse in public is against the rules, but since the person in question is powerful, the rules are up to them.

Moreover, the Black Emperor Sect did indeed have ulterior motives, but most people were unwilling to provoke Black Emperor Sect, so they naturally wouldn't expose the matter.

But his greed seemed to have aroused the wrath of that malevolent star.

"Fine, I've changed my mind. One Three-Striped Green Spirit Pill, take it or leave it!"

Xiao Yuan then sneered.

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianxing became truly anxious.

You know, after this guy made such a fuss, it's even less likely that anyone else will buy it.

In other words, this mummified monster corpse will either be sold at a low price or fail to sell at auction.

How could this be? Mo Tianxing's old face was just a little embarrassed, but the white-haired old man on the stage was already drenched in sweat.

Didn't we say we were going to befriend this troublemaker? How did we end up pissing him off?
