213: Method of Breeding the Sacred Beast of Evil

“The starting bid is 500,000 High Grade demonic crystals, with each increment not less than 10,000!”

As Sanlei Old Freak’s voice fell, bids immediately rose one after another.

“550,000 demonic crystals!”

“600,000!”

“650,000…”

…The bidding was fervent, but the private room was silent.

“An altar with the potential to refine a fourth-grade demonic physique is truly impressive.

Daoist Li, won’t you try your hand?”

Alcoholic Hero teased.

Gu Changsheng smiled, “I am a lone wolf, what use would I have for this item?”

“Haha, there’s always tomorrow.

Daoist Li, you may be alone now, but who knows about the future.

Wouldn’t you agree, Fairy Peach Blossom…”

The sudden shift in topic made Peach Blossom Fairy’s face flush with embarrassment.

Gu Changsheng awkwardly rubbed his nose, feigning ignorance.

In reality, ever since he had healed Peach Blossom Fairy, she had subtly shown signs of wanting to get closer.

However, Gu Changsheng ignored them all.

“Fellow Daoist, you jest…”

Gu Changsheng gave a hearty laugh.

Hearing this, a hint of loneliness flashed in Peach Blossom Fairy’s eyes, then she glared at Alcoholic Hero.

Why must you speak so much!

Ultimately, this altar was acquired by a short, green-skinned Sacred Beast from the Goblin clan for 880,000 demonic crystals.

Gu Changsheng recognized them as the Goblin clan, originating from the dim cave world.

Tens of thousands of years ago, they were annexed by the Sacred Beast clan.

Their combat strength is weak, and they are naturally timid, often serving as slaves for various clans, mining, excavating, and being used as sacrifices.

Yet, their fertility is extremely strong, enough to rank among the top five races in all realms.

This item was quite suitable for them.

Following this, a series of Spirit Treasures appeared, such as Profound Cave Spirit Treasures and Sky-Covering Talismans.

Even Peach Blossom Fairy participated, acquiring a flower basket-type Spirit Treasure, costing 560,000 High Grade demonic crystals.

This treasure contained a secret art of 'Burial of Flowers,' and when combined with Peach Blossom Fairy’s innate peach blossoms, its power was truly remarkable.

“Next, this item is quite special…”

Sanlei Old Freak spoke mysteriously, building suspense.

“Have you all heard of Guangyuan Sacred Ancestor? This item comes from the immortal Dynasty he founded—the Blood Sea Dynasty.”

As soon as these words were uttered, they caused a huge stir.

“Guangyuan Sacred Ancestor… He was a great figure from ten thousand years ago; the Blood Sea Dynasty he founded conquered all directions, establishing a vast territory, and this item actually comes from him…”

“Really? Is it true!

The Blood Sea Dynasty has been annihilated for over a millennium…”

Seeing the heated atmosphere, Sanlei Old Freak pulled back the red cloth, revealing an ancient book on the tray, with wisps of Evil Qi swirling around it.

“Saha Qi True Understanding.

This book contains hundreds of secret arts for the cultivation and use of Evil Qi, a Yang Spirit Realm product, absolutely worth its value.

Starting bid is one million High Grade demonic crystals.

Each increment not less than ten thousand.”

“A Yang Spirit Realm treasure must be extraordinary!”

“Even if bought for collection, it’s worth it.”

No sooner had the words fallen than bids began to ring out.

“1,100,000 demonic crystals!”

“1,200,000 demonic crystals!”

“1,500,000…”

In the blink of an eye, the bidding was about to reach the two-million mark.

This was definitely the highest bid so far.

Any item connected to the Yang Spirit Realm often saw its price skyrocket.

In the private room, Gu Changsheng looked at the ancient book floating on the tray, his eyes complex.

‘Saha Qi True Understanding…’

The box of Evil Qi Spirit Orbs he had obtained from Guangyuan Grotto-heaven had never produced an Evil Qi Sacred Beast.

No matter what secret arts Gu Changsheng used, he still couldn’t Birth it.

‘Evil Qi Sacred Beasts are the Sacred Beasts of the Yaksha Clan, perhaps Guangyuan Sacred Ancestor left behind a special method…’

With this thought, Gu Changsheng decisively made a bid: “Three million demonic crystals!”

As soon as these words were uttered, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over everyone’s heads, and the scene froze.

The bid was still less than two million, yet someone had directly raised it by over a million.

“What a grand gesture!”

A muffled voice came from one of the private rooms.

It was actually a Profound Cave Late Stage old monster.

“This is three million High Grade demonic crystals, not ordinary demonic crystals.

This person’s wealth is truly terrifying.

It’s probably close to ten million!”

In the private room, Peach Blossom Fairy and Alcoholic Hero were also stunned.

It seemed this person either didn’t make a move or made an astonishing one.

Three million High Grade demonic crystals.

An ordinary Profound Cave Middle Stage Cultivator would probably not be able to afford it.

Gu Changsheng silently sipped his tea, looking calm and composed.

Just three million… The entire hall was silent.

“Three million High Grade demonic crystals, going once!”

“Three million High Grade demonic crystals, going twice!”

“Thre—…”

Sanlei Old Freak’s voice was somewhat hurried, clearly wanting to finalize the transaction quickly.

The internal expectation for this item’s bid was only around two million.

Three million High Grade demonic crystals was purely an exorbitant price.

Before he could finish, a cold voice came from a private room.

“Three million one hundred thousand!”

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly.

He had raised the price to three million in one go, hoping to deter any followers.

He didn’t expect someone would still contend with him.

He put down his teacup, his voice echoing through the hall: “Three million five hundred thousand!”

No sooner had the words fallen.

“Three million six hundred thousand!”

The entire hall subtly sensed something was amiss.

Gu Changsheng’s expression was as calm as an ancient well, and he continued to bid: “Four million!”

It didn’t matter, he could afford this price.

If it was truly as he thought, and it contained a method to hatch an Evil Qi Sacred Beast, then even ten times the price would be a huge profit.

Unexpectedly, the other party also followed closely behind, always adding 100,000 demonic crystals more.

Soon, the price broke through eight million.

Looking at the momentum, it seemed poised to reach ten million.

One must know that the original starting bid was only one million.

During this time, quite a few Profound Cave Late Stage old monsters tried to interject, wanting to gamble on the value of the Saha Qi True Understanding, but they were quickly dissuaded by the fierce bidding momentum.

Eight million, even a Profound Cave Late Stage would have to bleed heavily to produce that.

And it wasn’t even a Yang Spirit Realm item.

With the grand celebration approaching, did they have to sell everything they owned?

However, several Profound Cave Late Stage old monsters were quite frustrated.

Neither of the two bidders were from the top ten 'Earth-ranked' private rooms, indicating their cultivation was not at the Late Stage, yet they had managed to overshadow all the Profound Cave Late Stage old monsters.

At this moment, in a private room, a Cultivator with exposed fangs frowned deeply.

His entire body was wreathed in Evil Qi, and his skin was crimson.

He was actually from the Red Yaksha Clan.

“Damn it, someone actually set their sights on this item…”

Originally, he thought this item would at most go for around two million, and he could easily obtain it by bidding then.

Now, however, the situation was gradually spiraling out of control.

“This item is crucial for a great endeavor; I must obtain it…”

The Red Yaksha’s eyes were bloodshot, like a turbulent sea of blood.

Earth-ranked Private Room Number Thirteen.

“Daoist Li, calm down.

Although this item was left by a Yang Spirit Realm mighty figure, its true value is probably far lower than the current bid.”

Peach Blossom Fairy couldn’t help but advise.

Gu Changsheng glanced over, his expression still calm and composed, and called out his bid: “Ten million!”

‘How do you know the importance of this item to me…’

A moment later, the bidding finally stopped.

Ultimately, Gu Changsheng obtained this Saha Qi True Understanding for the exorbitant price of twelve million.

This price was roughly the entire fortune of a Profound Cave Late Stage Cultivator.

Another private room.

The Red Yaksha collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected.

Even if he had offered his entire fortune, he still failed to win the bid.

“The most important secret stronghold in the Blood Sea Pagoda, opening it will likely be troublesome…”

After a cup of tea.

Gu Changsheng handed over the demonic crystals and successfully put the Saha Qi True Understanding into his possession.

This drew a sidelong glance from Alcoholic Hero.

Of course, with this item fetching a price of twelve million demonic crystals, he also understood the gravity of the situation and did not offer to borrow it for a look.

Gu Changsheng’s soul sense swept over it, and countless Evil Qi secret arts and information flooded into his mind.

Soon, his eyes lit up.

‘The method for nurturing Evil Qi Sacred Beasts… So that’s how it is…’
