41: Reserve

The three families in the first three private rooms had already descended to the center of the hall during the bidding intervals of the three prominent figures.

Seeing Qin Fuzhong successfully bid for the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, Qin Zhou was now both overjoyed and pained.

He was overjoyed that with the addition of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, it might be possible to change the current predicament of the family.

The pain naturally came from one of the family's Crimson Blood Dragon Cypress, a Beast that was never allowed to leave the family, being traded away as a bargaining chip.

After swiping the card and paying, 1.5 million spirit coin of the 15 million spirit coin would be taken as commission by Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House, and the remaining amount would be transferred to the terminal Luo Yuheng had left in advance.

As for the King-Ranked Beast Crimson Blood Dragon Cypress mentioned by Qin Fuzhong, Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House wisely did not mention collecting a commission.

"I wonder if you can contact the seller? There are many things to pay attention to when cultivating this Crimson Blood Dragon Cypress, and I need to explain them clearly to the seller in person."

Qin Fuzhong only asked casually after watching Qin Zhou swipe his card and pay the spirit coin.

But even in his casual questioning, Liang Qiu could directly feel the unquestionable authority within it, for the reputation of Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House.

Liang Qiu still bore immense pressure, not even having time to wipe away the beads of sweat on his forehead, and carefully replied, "To ensure the seller's privacy, we need to ask for the seller's opinion."

However, he thought that since the seller had already actively advertised on the auction house, they probably wouldn't hide their identity. He was just doing this to curry favor with the seller, and he figured that Qin Fuzhong, who seemed so carefree, wouldn't get angry over it.

As he said this, Liang Qiu had already run through many thoughts in his mind, and only after ensuring he was on the safe side did he slightly straighten his shoulders and relax a little.

"Hmm, contact them quickly." As Liang Qiu expected, Qin Fuzhong didn't mind.

Receiving a nod from his boss, Wei Yansheng had already sent a message early. After receiving a confirmation reply, he stepped forward and whispered a few words into his boss's ear.

After listening, Liang Qiu's face showed relief. "Lord Qin, the seller has agreed. Shall we go directly to our reception room now, or wait until the last Beast is auctioned?"

Qin Fuzhong, holding the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit in his arms, was in an exceptionally good mood. He asked, "What is the last Beast? Is it more precious than this rabbit?"

Hearing this, Feng Manwu and He Song on the side also showed some interest, clearly looking forward to what the last Beast would be.

"Uh, the last one is a King Rank two-star Chi Yan Fire Lion." Liang Qiu's face showed a hint of awkwardness.

He wished he had made the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit the last item to be auctioned. Its current auction price could buy several King Rank Chi Yan Fire Lions, so it was indeed a bit awkward now.

Qin Fuzhong, who heard Liang Qiu's reply, had a calm expression. "Oh, then let's go directly to the reception room now."

Although he didn't directly evaluate the value of the last Beast, this dismissive attitude was the best evaluation.

Liang Qiu could only respond with a forced smile. He turned to look at the other two Masters, assuming they would also be uninterested in the last Beast.

"Two Lords, we have specially prepared VIP rooms for you. If you don't wish to stay here, you can go and rest first."

Old He He Song said with a beaming smile, "We are with Lord Qin. Where he goes, we naturally go. Don't mind us."

Although Feng Manwu showed no expression, her silence was naturally taken as agreement.

However, Qin Fuzhong was not having it. "Who's with you, old man? We have no relation. Stay away from me."

He Song kindly reminded, "Leaving your post during a mission issued by the Law Enforcement Team is not a minor offense."

Qin Fuzhong's face darkened, and his tone became somewhat unfriendly. "Aren't you two the same as me? You both left that secret realm entrance."

Hearing his rebuttal, He Song shook his head. "We left the secret realm to find a teammate who had left his post first. Moreover, we each left a Beast to guard it, and we can sense the secret realm's edge immediately."

As he spoke, He Song glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the Iron-Clad Lion he was sitting on, a Beast named 'Earth-Shaking Armored Lion,' saying, "It's truly different from you."

Qin Fuzhong's expression changed repeatedly, but since he had a handle on this old man, he could only say, "Alright, just the three of us will go. Let your juniors stay where it's cool."

Old He didn't mind his rude attitude at all, and waved his hand at He Liangyu, He Liangshu, and the others beside him, signaling them to leave.

Without Feng Manwu needing to speak, the Feng Family members behind her, understanding the situation, left on their own.

Qin Fuzhong's expression then softened somewhat. "When the law enforcement officer arrives, you'd best keep your mouth clean."

He Song's smiling expression was as if carved onto his face, his eyes narrowed into a slit, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

"Of course, this old man is never a talkative person."

"Hmph." A light snort expressed Qin Fuzhong's distrust.

Liang Qiu, who had been standing for a long time, saw that their argument was finally over, and then cautiously led the way for them.

The VIP room was on the upper floor of the auction house, and they quickly reached their destination.

At this time, there were only three people in the VIP room: Luo Chen, Luo Yuheng, and Wei Yansheng, who was accompanying them.

Liang Qiu gave a concise introduction, emphasizing the identity of the three as Wild-Ranked Beast Masters.

This was to prevent Luo Yuheng and Luo Chen from offending the important figures.

Luo Chen felt a little emotional, he was just a little rookie in the first stage (Ferocious Beast Stage), and now he could actually meet important figures of the fourth stage (Wild Rank).

Looking at them, these important figures didn't seem particularly special, except for looking exceptionally energetic and having an invisible fluctuation around them, they weren't much different from normal people.

While Luo Chen was daydreaming, everyone had already taken their seats.

"Master Luo, I wonder if this Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit is a Beast from a new Evolution Path you researched, or if it was accidentally discovered in the wild?"

After sitting down, He Song directly asked.

"I, Luo, am not talented. I recently stumbled upon a new Evolution Path. However, the evolution materials are difficult to obtain, and it took a long time, so I've only managed to evolve one."

Even though he was facing three Wild-Ranked Beast Masters, Luo Yuheng's answer was still neither humble nor arrogant, because in Huaguo, the status of a Breeder was still very respected.

The Breeder Association was also famously protective of its own. If a legitimate Breeder died, high-level personnel would definitely investigate the cause of death.

Moreover, they would even use Beasts capable of time reversal to investigate. Do not doubt the financial resources and heritage of the Breeder Association.

Qin Fuzhong laughed heartily, "Beasts themselves are treasures, and it's understandable that the breeding process is difficult."

Luo Yuheng smiled at Qin Fuzhong.

Feng Manwu's clear and pleasant voice rang out, "I wonder if another one of these Beasts can be evolved. What materials are needed? Perhaps I can find a way."

Luo Yuheng's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, "Does Lord Feng also wish to purchase a Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit?"

Feng Manwu nodded, "Master Luo, if you have any requirements, you can mention them."

"Normally, our store does not allow Beast reservations, but for the three Lords present, we must make an exception. Twenty million spirit coin, plus several hard-to-find materials to be provided by the Lords. I will make an exception here.

However, while the race of the Beast can remain consistent, its Aptitude cannot be guaranteed. If the three Lords agree, shall we draw up a contract now?"

After Luo Yuheng finished speaking, he looked at the reactions of the three people opposite him.

This price was naturally decided after Luo Chen and Luo Yuheng discussed it after the auction. It wasn't very cheap, but it was within their acceptable range.

After a moment of thought, Feng Manwu was the first to speak, "Good, I accept these terms."

"Then the next Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, our Chenyang Pet Store will reserve it for Lord Feng first."

Seeing that Feng Manwu had agreed, He Song immediately followed suit and accepted the terms.

Finally, even though he had already obtained a Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit, Qin Fuzhong still spoke up, wanting to reserve another one, but he still had some foresight, placing himself last.

This would allow ample time for the family to raise spirit coin, and also allow him to verify the effectiveness of the Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbit he already possessed. If it wasn't worth it, he could simply use the excuse of not being able to find the corresponding materials to void the agreement.

After signing contracts with each family and exchanging contact information, everyone's faces showed a hint of genuine emotion.

"The contracts are signed, the Beasts are reserved, you two can leave now, right? Do you still want to stay and spy on the secrets of my Beast?"

After the contract was signed, Qin Fuzhong immediately spoke to dismiss them.

The other two also didn't linger. After Qin Fuzhong finished speaking, they left the VIP room. Liang Qiu, who was the last to leave, thoughtfully closed the double doors made of fragrant wood.

A look of painful reluctance appeared on Qin Fuzhong's face. Like an old father entrusting his daughter, he said to Luo Yuheng:

"Master Luo, this is the other part of today's auction reward, our Qin Family's signature Beast, the Crimson Blood Dragon Cypress. You must take good care of it."
