Chapter 149 - Purpled Eyed Phantom Marten
Hearing what Yun Qianyu said, Xiao Yechen was shocked and said, “You mean that you may have spirit energy? Someone didn’t want others to find out about your powers, so they poisoned you. So the reason you bought the Essence Cleansing pill was so that you could clear up all the impurities in your meridians.”
“That’s right, smart boy.”
Yun Qianyu nodded, then noticed that Xiao Yechen had not bid for anything. Xiao Jiuyuan got a damaged scroll about the Godly Four Slaughter array, while she got an Essence Cleansing pill; only Xiao Yechen did not get anything. Yun Qianyu couldn’t help feeling sorry and said quickly, “Xiao Yechen, you didn’t get anything. Why don’t you bid for something too?”
Xiao Yechen shook his head, “There’s nothing that interests me. I’ll just come by next time to see if there’s anything I want. Anyways, I don’t lack anything right now.”
Downstairs, the auction became very heated. With a higher pitched voice, the auctioneer interrupted the conversation between Yun Qianyu and Xiao Yechen.
“This is the last spirit beast being auctioned today. Everyone, this is a very powerful spirit beast, a purpled eyed phantom marten. Its intelligence is beyond belief, and its attacks are very powerful. Moreover, its pair of purple eyes are able to hypnotize the enemy. Having this powerful spirit beast would be like having a powerful subordinate. ”
In this world, a powerful spirit beast was equivalent to a powerful spirit energy user.
That was why the purpled eyed phantom marten attracted a lot of people’s attention as soon as it appeared. Everyone in the crowd, even the four powerful families, all had the intention of bidding for it.
However, this kind of powerful spirit beast was particularly expensive.
The auctioneer on the stage yelled out the base price for the spirit beast, “The starting price for the purpled eyed phantom marten is two hundred thousand Liang silver!”
As soon as the base price was announced, many people started shouting their bids, including some on the second floor. For some time, the whole Xuantian Auction House was filled with shouts and everyone competed for the spirit beast. However, seeing that the four families and the royals were participating, many people on the ground floor stopped bidding.
This was not because they were afraid of the four families or the royal family, but rather because they were no match for their financial resources.
Knowing that they couldn’t outbid them, most of the people there stopped bidding.
At this time, the price had soared five hundred thousand Liang silver, and there was no sign of stopping. There were even signs that the bidding would go up to a preposterous amount.
In Xiao Jiuyuan’s private room, Yun Qianyu and Xiao Yechen did not participate in the bidding. They only watched on curiously.
From watching the exciting bidding war on the second floor, Yun Qianyu’s attention slowly turned to the auction platform on the first floor. There was a black iron cage on the platform that housed the spirit beast. From the scars on the spirit beast it could be assumed that it had a great fight with those that tried to capture it. However, even if it was caught in the cage, it still did not yield.
Inside the cage, it looked around at the people that were bidding for it. Its eyes sparkled with killing intent and it would grind its teeth from time to time. It seemed as though it was ready to fight with anyone that came close to it. Its big eyes were filled with anger as it looked around coldly.
‘Stupid humans! No one will control me. Dream on stupid humans, Prince Marten will not allow anyone to control him!’
Yun Qianyu looked at it and wondered why she could understand the purpled eyed phantom marten. It was clear that it was just a spirit animal, and had nothing to do with herself. Yun Qianyu was stunned at the fact that she could hear its thoughts.
