65: Chapter 65 Bartering, Mysterious Seed

"Grandfather, could that be a descendant of Lady Zi Yan's clan..."

In the VIP room where the Elder Li of the Starfall Pavilion was located, it was Li Huaner who spoke.

Elder Li did not respond. According to the information he possessed, members of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan would return to the Dragon Graveyard to await their fate when their lifespan was nearing its end.

They would not be left in the outside world...

"Void Ancient Dragon... Heh heh heh..."

Hun Tiandi let out a strange laugh, a glint flashing across his eyes. He planned in his heart that he would likely have to bleed heavily to win this auction for the withered corpse.

The appearance of such a strange item at the auction venue indeed drew the gazes of the major powers in many of the VIP rooms.

A top-tier Class 8 Magical Beast was a truly terrifying existence to everyone present.

If this Magical Beast were still showing signs of life, the experts in the VIP rooms would have fled at the very first moment...

The longer one lives, the more one fears death; at their level, they understood this better than ordinary people.

Just what kind of existence was a top-tier Class 8 Magical Beast...

Fortunately, this was only a withered corpse of a Magical Beast that had died long ago; its life aura had dissipated who knows how long ago.

Because of this, the people present did not hide their curiosity.

Various factions were making wild guesses, and it seemed they were all interested in this withered corpse.

Among them, the old fellow from the Burning Flame Valley was the most excited, his expression full of exhilaration.

On the high stage.

Han Yue was all smiles as she watched the discussions in the VIP rooms. She knew in her heart that the VIP rooms held the wealthiest group of people, and only they could bring out true treasures.

"Everyone, since this withered Magical Beast corpse was obtained by our Xueyue Medicine Pavilion, it has been perfectly preserved without the slightest damage."

"Furthermore, I guarantee on the centuries-old reputation of the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion that it has absolutely not been touched."

"In other words, we do not know what is inside this Magical Beast's body. Similarly, we do not know whether it contains a top-tier Class 8 Magical Core or the beast's blood essence..."

Han Yue said with a beaming smile, her voice falling clearly into everyone's ears, instantly whipping up an earth-shattering storm.

Such an unparalleled Magical Beast was a treasure from head to toe; its skin could be used to make armor, its claws and teeth could be made into weapons, and the blood essence within its body contained vast and violent energy.

It could be used for body tempering, and for an Alchemist, it was even a top-grade material for pill refinement.

Of course, if the Magical Beast's body contained a top-tier Class 8 Magical Core, the energy it contained would be truly vast...

When all these precious items were added together, their value was immeasurable.

Han Yue's maneuver instantly caused the value of the withered Magical Beast corpse to skyrocket...

"Just state the price!"

Suddenly, an impatient voice rang out from a VIP room in the auction hall, echoing throughout the venue.

Han Yue did not show any dissatisfaction at the VIP's interruption; instead, a trace of excitement flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"Everyone, this is a Class 8 Magical Beast of extremely high value. This time, it cannot be measured in gold coins, so it will be auctioned through bartering."

Upon hearing Han Yue's requirement, many people in the VIP rooms frowned.

A brief silence ensued. To them, gold coins were too common; using gold coins to auction this would simply be an insult to such a top-tier Magical Beast.

"Bartering?"

Hun Tiandi's expression remained unchanged as he said softly, implying that they would have to bring out some truly heavyweight items.

However, treasures of this level were things everyone kept hidden away; even if they couldn't use them themselves, they could leave them for their descendants.

Now, asking them to bring them out for trade was like cutting flesh from their own bodies with a knife.

Moreover, the people in the VIP rooms were all planning to use their treasures to bid for the final grand finale item.

Wasting them on this withered corpse at this moment inevitably made them hesitate.

Looking at the silent venue, even the battle-hardened Han Yue could not help but break into a thin layer of sweat on her fair forehead.

In truth, this withered Magical Beast corpse was not as valuable as she had claimed.

Otherwise, the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion would not have brought it out for auction; who knew how long this shriveled dragon corpse had been dead.

No matter how powerful it had been in life, under the erosion of time, it was unknown how much energy remained within its body.

Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly. He did not believe that the people from the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion hadn't investigated it.

I am afraid the blood essence energy within this withered corpse is also extremely scarce.

As for that Class 8 Magical Core, it most likely didn't exist.

Otherwise, why wouldn't the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion keep it for themselves...

The people in the VIP rooms were all shrewd; anyone who bid on this withered corpse would be gambling.

If it contained the Magical Beast's blood essence and Magical Core, then it would be a stroke of good luck, and they would make a profit.

On the other hand, if it was just a pile of dried meat, they would have to be prepared to lose their entire investment...

Although Han Yue promised repeatedly, in their eyes, such unbelievable words were just like the wind in June, shifting with the breeze.

Therefore, many people had not decided whether to bid on it.

Time passed second by second, and the auction hall remained silent. Han Yue, dressed in a moon-white robe like a fairy, was nervous to death inside.

Sweat on her back soaked her undergarments; the Han Family had high hopes for this withered corpse.

If it failed to sell, it would mean she hadn't done her job well, and the clan's Council of Elders would certainly have something to say.

The silence persisted, just as Han Yue was finding it hard to stay on stage.

From a VIP room came an indifferent voice, and a figure dressed in black robes spoke, breaking the silence of the auction hall.

"Three dou wang pills."

The sudden bid caused a commotion in the auction hall. A single dou wang pill could increase one's strength by one star without damaging one's foundation.

It was perfectly suited for increasing strength, and such a pill still had considerable appeal to the people present.

After all, who wouldn't want to increase their strength without any side effects?

At the Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels, increasing one's strength by one star was not a simple matter; sometimes, it took years of effort without any guarantee of advancement.

After such years of bitter cultivation with no results, now, only a single pill was needed to make up for that lost time.

This was also the reason why experts pursued such pills...

Generally speaking, few people were willing to bring out dou wang pills; after all, as long as one had this item, one could increase the strength of one's own experts in a short time.

For any faction, this was a tremendous benefit.

When everyone heard that someone was willing to trade using such pills, it caused a group of people to cast side-glances.

Their gazes fell upon the black-robed Hun Tiandi.

On the high stage, Han Yue felt a sense of relief upon hearing the bid.

Three dou wang pills were quite valuable, but to trade for a Class 8 Magical Beast's withered corpse, it was still somewhat insufficient.

"This gentleman has offered three dou wang pills. Does anyone wish to offer a higher price?" Han Yue said with a light smile.

"A scroll of a Water-attribute Earth-tier middle-grade cultivation technique!"

As the voice fell, a hesitant sound rang out in the hall.

Han Yue gave a wry smile, then shook her head and said, "Apologies, an Earth-tier low-grade technique is valuable, but by comparison, our Xueyue Medicine Pavilion would prefer the three dou wang pills."

Afterwards, that person shook his head lightly and lost interest.

At this time, the auction hall fell back into silence; many people had no interest in spending an exorbitant price to buy a withered corpse.

Han Yue was very depressed; three dou wang pills had not yet reached their valuation of the withered corpse.

Whoosh!

A middle-aged figure appeared in the venue. The person who arrived was none other than the Patriarch Han, who looked gently toward the location of Hun Tiandi.

"My friend, we are all reasonable people. Although there is considerable risk with this withered Magical Beast corpse, if there really is something inside, you will make a huge profit. If you can bring out ten dou wang pills, this Magical Beast is yours!"

Patriarch Han's words immediately caused an uproar in the auction hall, and countless people couldn't help but roll their eyes.

This old thing is truly asking for a lion's share; ten dou wang pills, he's crazy...
