Chapter 141: Chapter 140: Don’t Steal from Me

Everyone present knew that the next auction item was either a Spiritual Beast Mount or the Dragon Blood Grass, which had been previously advertised by the Dragon Abyss Sect as something that could directly enhance one’s cultivation upon consumption...

The auction hall was filled with applause that wouldn’t die down. Wearing a smile, Liu Ping’er waved her hand to signal everyone to quiet down.

Once the crowd settled, Liu Ping’er released her Divine Sense and scanned her storage ring.

In an instant, a majestic black tiger with a pair of wings, emitting a faint black glow, appeared on the auction stage.

"Awoooo..."

The black tiger raised its head and let out a roar before lying down docilely on the ground.

"Oh my god!"

Someone exclaimed, "What kind of Demon Beast is that? Its roar is so powerful, and it even has wings?"

"That’s not a Demon Beast. Didn’t you see the Dragon Abyss Sect’s announcement? That’s a Spiritual Beast Mount..." someone corrected.

Another person asked in bewilderment, "Can that winged tiger really be used as a mount?"

"Heh!"

Someone sneered, "When has the Dragon Abyss Sect ever lied to us?"

"Sigh..."

The person let out a long sigh, "Such a Spiritual Beast Mount must be extraordinarily expensive. We can only watch from afar..."

People started voicing their opinions, filling the auction hall with noise.

Liu Ping’er’s bell-like voice rang out again, "Fellow Daoists, quiet down."

The auction hall quieted again, and Liu Ping’er smiled sweetly, "This Spiritual Beast Mount is a Double-winged Demon Tiger. It has the power to protect its master and intimidate enemies. It can travel ten thousand miles in a day, spew fire and wind, and currently, this Double-winged Demon Tiger can easily defeat a Golden Core Stage cultivator..."

"What?"

Someone shouted, "It can defeat a Golden Core Stage cultivator? Doesn’t that mean I’m no match for this Double-winged Demon Tiger?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Someone praised, "I didn’t expect a mount to be so powerful these days, making us feel ashamed."

"Haha..."

"This Double-winged Demon Tiger is mine," declared Xuanmingzi.

"Brother Xuanmingzi, if it were something else, I might not compete with you. But for this Double-winged Demon Tiger, it’s a different story..." replied Shen Jizi.

"Amitabha."

Jie Kong of the Songlin Zen Temple stepped forward, "We currently lack a Spiritual Beast to guard our temple. I find this Double-winged Demon Tiger most suitable..."

"Old bald donkey, stop it. We of the Heng Mountain Sword Sect have set our sights on this Double-winged Demon Tiger."

Jie Kong smiled calmly, "Does your Heng Mountain Sword Sect also want to compete with my Songlin Zen Temple?"

"Hmph."

"Old bald donkey, though our Heng Mountain has always been weak, in terms of Spirit Stone reserves, we are not inferior to any sects..."

Jie Kong, holding back his anger, replied harshly, "Cang Songzi, if you keep slandering me, believe it or not, I’ll throw you out immediately..."

"Hehe..."

Zhang Zongyan couldn’t help but laugh, "Everyone, stop arguing. One thing, whoever offers the highest price gets it..."

Liu Ping’er’s eyes darted around. She clearly saw the enthusiasm everyone had for the Spiritual Beast Mount, so she quietly raised the starting bid.

The initial starting price for the Double-winged Demon Tiger was set at ten top-grade spiritual stones, but Liu Ping’er called out for 15 top-grade spiritual stones.

"I’ll bid 20 top-grade spiritual stones..."

The first to raise the bid was Feng Ruyan, who also coveted this Double-winged Demon Tiger. Even though one top-grade spiritual stone could be exchanged for 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones, she seemed to have no pressure when she made her bid.

"Heh..."

Someone sneered, "I’ll bid 30 top-grade spiritual stones..."

"Who is so rich, raising the bid by ten top-grade spiritual stones at once?" the crowd exclaimed.

"Our Huashan Mountain Sword Sect bids 40 top-grade spiritual stones..." Huashan Mountain Divine Machine was not to be outdone.

"Our Songlin Zen Temple bids 50 top-grade spiritual stones..."

Many sect leaders kept raising the price. Now, the price for the Double-winged Demon Tiger had already reached 500 top-grade spiritual stones.

"A Cosmic Battleship costs only a hundred top-grade spiritual stones, what’s so special about this Double-winged Demon Tiger that it has reached 500 top-grade spiritual stones? Are they all crazy?" someone complained.

"Heh..."

An elder chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, if you sit in a Cosmic Battleship, who can see you?"

The person shook his head.

The elder explained, "That’s the point. If you sit on a Spiritual Beast Mount, everyone can see you. Not only does it look impressive, but it also can be a great help to its master. Do you still think this Spiritual Beast Mount isn’t worth it?"

The person realized, "It seems that a Spiritual Beast Mount is indeed better than a Cosmic Battleship..."

The bidding continued heatedly. Although the price didn’t climb as rapidly as before, it had already reached an astonishing 800 top-grade spiritual stones.

"Hmph..."

Zhang Zongyan, who had already grown impatient, snorted and shouted, "Stop competing with me. I’ll bid 1,000 top-grade spiritual stones..."

Everyone was stunned by Zhang Zongyan’s domineering voice, and the entire auction hall fell into complete silence.

Nobody had expected Zhang Zongyan to raise the price by 200 top-grade spiritual stones at once. This increase was beyond everyone’s budget. After Zhang Zongyan called out 1,000 top-grade spiritual stones, Zhang Shouqing laughed, "Brother Zongyan, such grand generosity. This Double-winged Demon Tiger is yours..."

No one could argue against it, and thus, the Double-winged Demon Tiger naturally became Zhang Zongyan’s property.

After Liu Ping’er explained the Beast Taming Method to Zhang Zongyan, she added, "Heavenly Master Zhang, as long as you take good care of this Double-winged Demon Tiger, in due time it can advance to an Immortal Beast and unlock new skills."

"Haha..."

"I made a great deal this time," Zhang Zongyan laughed heartily.

"What? That Spiritual Beast can advance to an Immortal Beast? We missed out by not bidding..."

Seeing the disappointed expressions on everyone’s faces, Liu Ping’er secretly laughed. She seemed to envision the fervent bidding in the second round...

Zhang Zongyan, thrilled, walked to the Double-winged Demon Tiger, laughed loudly, "This advancing Double-winged Demon Tiger suits me perfectly. 1,000 top-grade spiritual stones, totally worth it..."

Zhang Zongyan rode the Double-winged Demon Tiger into the air. Everyone else could only feel envy and jealousy. Just like that, Zhang Zongyan sat proudly on the Double-winged Demon Tiger, waiting in the air for the Dragon Blood Grass auction.

On the auction stage, Liu Ping’er smiled sweetly again, raising her voice and excitedly introduced to everyone, "Fellow Daoists, friends who have come to the auction today, you are the luckiest. The next item up for auction is the Dragon Blood Grass. Consuming it can instantly elevate your realm by one level..."

"Roar, roar..."

In the crowd, someone couldn’t suppress their excitement and roared loudly.

"Awooo..."

Zhang Zongyan’s Double-winged Demon Tiger let out an ear-deafening roar.

For a moment, the auction hall was a scene of chaos, noise, and crowd fervor, almost losing control several times.

"Haha..."

Someone couldn’t hold back their joy and laughed, "That Dragon Blood Grass can instantly elevate your realm by one level! Just think about enhancing your cultivation to the Nascent Soul Peak immediately, isn’t that thrilling..."

But this person was immediately doused with a bucket of cold water...
