Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

At this moment, a crisp sound echoed throughout the venue, the voice melodious and pleasant, yet carrying a hint of clarity, prompting everyone to return to their senses and notice the commencement of the auction.

Simultaneously, a middle-aged cultivator walked up to the auction stage from below.

This middle-aged cultivator’s appearance was not particularly remarkable, perhaps even somewhat ordinary, slightly chubby, showing signs of corpulence, with a face that broke into a smile before speaking, giving off a rather genial vibe.

However, upon seeing this person, many below the stage began murmuring, either talking to themselves or whispering quietly among themselves.

"It’s True Master Shu Tong; he has actually come..."

"I didn’t expect him to be hosting the auction today."

"Who is this person? From your tone, it sounds like this elder is very famous?"

"True Master Shu Tong is not just famous; he’s extremely renowned and incredibly powerful, he..."

...

"Yin Spirit Giant?"

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes while looking at this True Master Shu Tong, feeling a cautious respect rise within him.

The True Master Shu Tong on the stage seemed quite inscrutable to Gu Yuan, his depth immeasurable, significantly more complex than the previous Xue Wulong.

The feeling he gave to Gu Yuan was akin to that of the withered monk from before, and even his sect leader Yu Sheng Daoist from Medicine King Mountain.

This was enough to demonstrate this person’s complexity.

Among the many Yin Spirit Giants, Gu Yuan has seen the prominence of his own sect leader Yu Sheng Daoist and the recently met withered monk as the most renowned.

The fact that this True Master Shu Tong before him could evoke the same feeling in Gu Yuan indicates that this person is also an aspirant to the Yang Spirit level!

With this prominent figure overseeing and hosting the auction, naturally, no one would dare to cause trouble.

Even if an unexpected incident occurred at the venue, such as a treasure appearing that incited some to make a move, True Master Shu Tong would undoubtedly be the first to act.

Moreover, this place is Luofu Immortal City, territory of Luofu Immortal Island!

Even if True Master Shu Tong couldn’t handle the situation, surely there would be other prominent figures from Luofu Immortal Island to step in.

However...

The presence of True Master Shu Tong at the auction made some people realize that the upcoming auction might not proceed too smoothly or simply.

"Fellow Daoists, I am known by the title True Master Shu Tong, honored by the chief manager of Chaotian Lane, who invited me to host this auction, so if there are any offenses, I hope you’ll forgive me."

True Master Shu Tong smiled and said, "Today is our Chaotian Lane auction held once every sixty years, so I won’t waste words now. The auction begins."

"The first item in today’s auction is a bottle of Barrier-Breaking Pills refined by Master Danchenzi, consisting of three pills. This elixir offers great efficacy for cultivators striving to become Golden Core Great Cultivators and for those breaking through to the Yin Spirit Realm."

"There’s no need for me to explain; many experienced senior cultivators already know. Now, the starting bid is thirty thousand Spirit Stones."

True Master Shu Tong decisively stated, "Ladies and gentlemen, let’s begin bidding."

...

"The first item is actually Barrier-Breaking Pills? Chaotian Lane certainly shows great generosity..."

"Forty thousand Spirit Stones!"

"I bid forty-six thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Come on, fellow Daoists, let’s make this straightforward; I bid sixty thousand Spirit Stones!"

The audience initially buzzed with surprise, and then the competition began with enthusiasm.

...

Barrier-Breaking Pills?

Master Danchenzi?

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised too.

These Barrier-Breaking Pills, as True Master Shu Tong mentioned earlier, are indeed beneficial for Celestial Human Realm cultivators making Golden Cores and for Golden Cores breaking into the Yin Spirit Realm.

Many cultivators, due to their foundations, potential, enlightenment, age, and various factors, cannot advance further in cultivation and thus face bottlenecks.

At times like these, the Barrier-Breaking Pills can be quite useful, helping one break through obstacles, advancing to higher realms.

Especially crossing from Golden Core to Yin Spirit Realm, which is the most challenging breakthrough.

Countless old eccentricities have had their cultivation stagnate before this bottleneck for countless years.

Once one possesses a Barrier-Breaking Pill, it may lend a helping hand.

Of course, if one were to say the Barrier-Breaking Pills are overwhelmingly potent, that wouldn’t be completely accurate.

Yet, for those unable to foresee a breakthrough, this is an unparalleled treasure!

Because breaking through to the Golden Core Realm or the Yin Spirit Realm immediately extends one’s lifespan by hundreds or even thousands of years, albeit the probability is low, it at least offers a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, the difficulty of refining such Spirit Pills is notable too.

If Gu Yuan were to attempt refining them, mainly due to lack of prior exposure, limited experience, with three portions of materials, he could probably produce just one furnace of elixirs.

Master Danchenzi being able to refine such Spirit Pills indeed qualifies him for the title of "Master."

Gu Yuan didn’t dwell further, quietly observing.

He wasn’t particularly interested in the Barrier-Breaking Pills.

Not to mention, his Divine Soul was already special, possessing three to four parts of Yin Spirit qualities, once his cultivation reaches a certain level, he will certainly break through to the Yin Spirit Realm.

Even without this aspect, with Gu Yuan’s talent foundations and shadow form, he could entirely ascend to a Yin Spirit Giant.

Let’s not forget, besides various other talents, Gu Yuan also possesses the Innate Sword Bone and Sword Heart Talent.

With just these two attributes, Gu Yuan can undoubtedly ascend all the way to the Yin Spirit and even the Yang Spirit Realm.

Regarding the Primordial Spirit True Immortal Realm, this realm indeed requires sufficient opportunities, not just mere talent.

The auction was bustling with excitement, as a group of people vied fiercely for bids, initially including Celestial Human Realm cultivators placing bids.

But soon, as the price climbed higher and higher, reaching twelve thousand Spirit Stones, most ceased bidding, leaving only a few continuing to call and counter-call.

Eventually, the bottle of Spirit Pills was acquired by an elderly Golden Core cultivator with a price exceeding seventeen thousand Spirit Stones.

Promptly, many turned their gazes towards this elderly cultivator, their expressions varied and curious.

The elderly cultivator remained straightforward, simply got up, exchanged Spirit Stones for the Barrier-Breaking Pills, and promptly left Chaotian Lane Auction House.

Seeing this, many scaled their heads in disappointment.

...

With the Barrier-Breaking Pills setting the tone, the auction continued fervently, its atmosphere lively.

Following it, the items presented were either precious Spirit Pills, rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or Magical Treasures.

Gu Yuan even noticed two treasures of quality no less than his Blazing Carp Shuttle.

One of these treasures was not inferior to his Nine Jiao Furnace.

However, among similar magical treasures, pill furnaces, bells, and towers hold the highest value, offering the strongest power.

Whereas the item on auction was merely a short sword treasure.

In terms of value, it was significantly less than Gu Yuan’s Nine Jiao Furnace.

Gu Yuan remained indifferent throughout.

He currently lacked neither Magical Treasures nor Divine Weapons.

He possessed the Nine Jiao Furnace and Blazing Carp Shuttle, as well as the Lifebound Magical Treasures Taiyi Golden Bell and Primordial Jade Scenery Sword.

Setting aside the first two, the latter two at least hold great potential, and Gu Yuan is confident he could refine these Lifebound Magical Treasures into Spirit Treasures in the future.

Moreover, what magical artifacts or treasures could match the ease of use of one’s own refined Lifebound items?!
