It must be said that the Pink-Tailed Mermaid in front of him is the most exquisite female creature that Saine has ever seen.

Why not say she was the most beautiful? Because Saine felt that the Lina he remembered was the most beautiful.

The word "beautiful" actually carries a lot of subjective elements.

Not only Lina, Saine also thought that his Cousin Serena, Irene, and senior sister Fei'er were all top-notch beauties.

Of course, Saine's mentor Luluman, is also included.

Putting aside these subjective factors, judging solely from an objective perspective, Saine had never seen a more exquisite woman than the Pink-Tailed Mermaid before him.

She was like a beauty who stepped out of a painting. Besides her pink tail and wavy long hair, what was most impressive was her charming eyes.

A transparent water tank, five meters long and three meters wide, is the temporary home of this Mermaid.

Perhaps unaccustomed to being watched by so many people, the Pink-Tailed Mermaid, in her panic and anxiety, kept slapping the surface of the tank with her tail.

The sound of rushing Water Flow filled the auction hall, and the only decorations on this Pink-Tailed Mermaid were two white seashells on her chest and green seaweed that resembled a bun in her hair.

It must be said that marine life seems to be naturally more unrestrained.

The female six-armed Naga that Saine had seen before had no breasts on her chest, and her breasts stood proudly erect in public.

The Mermaid in front of me was indeed a bit more conservative; at least she used a seashell to cover her two rosy nipples.

But in hindsight, it was better not to cover it up at all, because the seashells as decoration made the subtle, alluring effect even more captivating.

The Yellow-Robed Magician on the auction stage was still chattering away, describing the Mermaid in the tank.

The Mage was very eloquent; he practically stripped the Mermaid naked and displayed her to everyone.

For example, this person clearly appears to be a rather composed Mage, yet he can introduce himself without changing his expression, "When using charm or other Soul Magic to make this Mermaid willingly offer herself, her dorsal fin will disintegrate, her tail will transform into legs, and she will engage in sexual intercourse with the person."

"And after being defiled, they will gain the ability to walk on land and will never betray their vows."

Such lewd and private words did not make the atmosphere at the auction awkward; on the contrary, many people became eager to try their luck, especially the Knight in the lower levels of the auction, whose Desire were much stronger than those of the Mage.

However, in terms of wealth, most Knight are not as wealthy as Mage.

Saine was also examining the Mermaid, but after the initial amazement, Saine's attention then turned to the deep blue Crystal Necklace hanging around the Mermaid's neck.

The unusual fluctuations in Water Element and the subtle spatial fluctuations allowed Saine, with his alchemist's intuition, to detect the difference in the necklace.

Finally, the auctioneer also introduced the necklace around the Mermaid's neck.

"This necklace is Magic Conductor included with the auction. Besides providing a certain Element Amplification, its greater purpose is..."

The Yellow-Robed Magician first drew out his voice, which piqued the interest of many people. Then, he used his Magic Power to activate the necklace around the Mermaid's neck.

The Mermaid had been splashing the surface of the water in the tank, suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Instead, a lifelike Mermaid silhouette appeared in the middle of the Crystal Necklace floating in mid-air.

The scene at the auction drew gasps of surprise from many.

As an alchemist, Saine couldn't help but stand up instantly from his seat in the private room.

This is a relatively advanced Manned Space Equipment in alchemy.

To this day, the only Space Equipment that Saine can create is for carrying cargo.

Saine can now make most of the ordinary Space Ring.

However, advanced Space Equipment capable of carrying living beings is not something that Saine can handle for the time being.

However, Saine's previous mentor Moxidu, had expertise in the relevant field.

For example, the Space Flute that carried Little Seven was Moxidu's creation when he was seriously injured.

But Moxidu skill was a testament to his more than eight hundred years of tireless alchemy.

How many years has it been since Saine embarked on his research into alchemy and the Path of Truth of magic?

Even with the inheritance of Moxidu's legacy and many Magic Books, some of the hard skills that Saine could not achieve in a short time were still beyond his reach.

Not to mention, Saine did not devote all his energy to alchemy. His knowledge of fire magic, light magic, and the mysteries of Azure Fire Body Tempering required him to spend a considerable amount of time and energy to study.

The appearance of this Crystal Necklace rekindled Saine's Desire to research manned Space Equipment. Indeed, compared to the beautiful Mermaid, what Saine valued more was actually this Crystal Necklace.

Furthermore, he felt that the Space Element alchemical Arcane Truth contained in this Crystal Necklace should be even greater than those in the Space Flute made by Moxidu.

Because Moxidu's Space Flute only allows magical beasts like Little Seven to enter, but this Crystal Necklace in front of them is large enough to carry humanoid creatures.

The problem is that we don't know its specific load-bearing capacity or whether there are any other limitations.

While Saine's thoughts were still wandering in the realm of alchemy, a new round of bidding had already begun in the auction hall below.

The high starting price did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Knight and Mage.

The Knight and Mage in the boxes below the third floor were mostly just spectators; the real participants in the game were certain hidden figures in the boxes above the fourth floor, where Saine was located.

Because of the privacy provided by the private rooms and the secrecy offered by the auction organizers.

Morality and rules have completely disappeared here; all that remains is naked self-interest and Desire.

The final price for this Pink-Tailed Mermaid was 4,734 Magic Coin.

This price is actually lower than what Saine expected.

I don't know the specific reason.

Saine didn't want to be taken advantage of. As the Mermaid in the tank was lifted back off the field, Saine was still pondering the mysteries of manned Space Equipment.

"The alchemical legacy of our mentor Moxidu was actually inherited more by his senior brother Zorro."

"I wonder if Senior Brother Zorro has already mastered the secrets of manned Space Equipment. If I can meet him on this trip to the Western Islands, I must exchange Knowledge Inheritance mentorship," Saine pondered.

With the Pink-Tailed Mermaid being taken off the stage, Saine's trip to the auction is basically coming to an end.

The starting price of the auctioned items was almost never lower than 1,000 Magic Coin, and these auctioned items were aimed at Mage of at least level two.

However, Saine persevered and attended the entire auction, which greatly broadened Saine horizons.

As for the Heart Core Level-3 Peak creature, which was designated as the highlight of the auction, the final transaction price reached over 33,700 Magic Coin.

This made Saine much more interested in the Fire-Breathing Dragon King in his mentor Luluman's laboratory; it was all money!
