Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Is this person crazy or what?

Are they afraid someone else might buy it, so they’re raising the price by three hundred thousand at once to discourage others from bidding?

Gu Yuan’s expression remained calm.

He raised the bid to five hundred thousand for a reason.

He was determined to acquire this Taiyi Golden Bell fragment, so he simply excluded those without sufficient funds and competed with others who were interested and capable.

As for the possibly extra spiritual stones spent, heh...

Gu Yuan truly wasn’t lacking in spiritual stones.

Not to mention, back when he entered the Red Dragon Immortal Palace and killed many cultivators, he obtained a plethora of spoils, which could only be described as a mountain of treasures.

Besides those various, but valuable spoils, he had accumulated quite a number of spiritual stones.

Five hundred thousand spiritual stones were indeed a significant amount, but for Gu Yuan, it wasn’t much, and he could easily shell out another five hundred thousand.

Suddenly, after Gu Yuan made his bid, many cultivators below the stage looked at each other, although some were wealthy, they didn’t continue bidding.

Even True Master Shu Tong appeared briefly stunned, then smiled and said, "Alright, this fellow Daoist has raised the bid to five hundred thousand, anyone else want to bid?"

Since someone bid directly at five hundred thousand, it indicated the item’s popularity, suggesting an even higher final price, allowing him, the auction host, to earn a substantial profit.

"Six hundred thousand."

Just then, another bid was heard from one of the booths.

The voice was somewhat raspy and deep, carrying an ineffable chill that sent shivers down the spines of cultivators with lower cultivation, leaving some feeling a hint of bitterness.

Some people understood instantly, recognizing that the bidder must be a demonic cultivator.

"It’s Ku Quan Hermit, he actually showed up?! Doesn’t he fear trouble?"

"Indeed, it’s rumored that he once exterminated three small sects to refine a magical treasure, and now the righteous path is hunting him down, yet he’s here?"

"Hmph, don’t forget this is Luofu Immortal Island’s territory. They won’t allow their rules to be broken!"

"That’s true..."

However, a few were quite surprised as they recognized the bidder’s identity.

"Ku Quan Hermit?"

Gu Yuan was a bit surprised, murmuring to himself, "Another Yin God Giant?"

As this thought crossed Gu Yuan’s mind, another bid rang out.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand spiritual stones!"

"I bid six hundred and eighty thousand spiritual stones!"

"Seven hundred thousand!"

Clearly, interest in this spirit treasure fragment was high among numerous people.

Gu Yuan’s direct bid of five hundred thousand hadn’t deterred the wealthy bigwigs.

Though Gu Yuan had anticipated this, he matter-of-factly said again, "One million spiritual stones."

Gu Yuan’s words silenced the auction hall once more.

Many were filled with disbelief.

Again! Again!

Alright, the spirit treasure fragment was indeed powerfully significant, comparable to a middle-grade magical treasure, coupled with the ’spirit treasure’ value attracting many, which was quite normal.

But even then, typically a lower-grade magical treasure cost around two to three hundred thousand spiritual stones, with slightly higher quality ones being pricier.

Yet one million spiritual stones could already purchase a pretty decent middle-grade magical treasure.

"Hmph! Eight hundred thousand spiritual stones plus a magical treasure Sinful Soul Banner with three Celestial Spirit Restrictions."

This time, Ku Quan Hermit again bid, offering a price higher than Gu Yuan’s.

The stones aside, the Sinful Soul Banner was one of the known overseas treasures, and although its refining technique was widely spread, it wasn’t weak. In fact, many cultivators present owned it, just varying grades.

Nonetheless, Ku Quan Hermit’s magical treasure was worth about three hundred thousand.

Gu Yuan appeared indifferent, unperturbed by this bidding, responded, "One million spiritual stones plus five hundred White Sun Pills."

White Sun Pills?

Many were surprised, unable to resist glancing at Gu Yuan on the sixth floor.

The White Sun Pills weren’t unfamiliar to numerous cultivators, especially Golden Core Great Cultivators.

As it was a commonly acknowledged spirit elixir for Golden Core Great Cultivators to ingest, refine, and increase cultivation.

This pill had minimal toxicity, allowing its long-term consumption and refining by cultivators, and while its materials weren’t plentiful, the age and potency requirements were high.

The market price for each pill was approximately six hundred stones.

Five hundred White Sun Pills amounted to roughly thirty thousand spiritual stones.

Of course, though it was priced at that level, many were willing to pay more since it’s hard to make and required some difficulty.

Once it appeared, Golden Core Great Cultivators quickly snapped them up, still sought even at a slight markup.

Adding the one million stones, the total was equivalent to over one million three hundred thousand stones.

Many began to wonder about the sixth-floor box guest’s identity.

Ku Quan Hermit seemed displeased at Gu Yuan overshadowing him, snorted coldly, "Five hundred White Sun Pills? Hmph, such extravagance, could you be an Alchemy Master?"

"My identity isn’t important, what matters is if you don’t raise your bid, this item will be mine."

Gu Yuan’s voice echoed.

"Yours?"

But at this moment, Ku Quan Hermit seemed to realize something and sneered, "A mere Golden Core Cultivator dares flaunt before me. Kid, where’d you get your nerve?!"

Golden Core Cultivator?

Ku Quan Hermit’s words surprised many.

Gu Yuan’s bidding pace had earlier stumped even Yin God Giants, yet it turned out the bidder was merely a Golden Core Cultivator.

Could someone of high standing be behind him?

Many pondered privately.

After all, ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivators couldn’t afford such stones.

"Huh?"

Gu Yuan frowned at first, then sensed something, his expression turned cold, and with a thought, a dazzling silver sword light flew out.

Clang!!!

In the void, a clear sound like dragon’s roar echoed.

Then Gu Yuan’s sword intent gathered the sword light straight to the corner of a booth.

There, out of nowhere, appeared a faint shadow.

The shadow sometimes transformed into a fierce demon beast covered in bone spikes, sometimes changed into a skeleton burning with intense demon flames.
