"The next auction item will be this piece of Spirit Jade, acquired from a mountain range in a Secret Realm. It is quite large, and tests have shown that sitting on it for Cultivation can triple the usual Cultivation speed!"

Nangong Hong swept his gaze over the crowd, smiling brightly as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted from the audience. Many people's eyes were filled with astonishment, for everyone understood what tripling the usual Cultivation speed implied.

If one could break through to the Profound Tier with ten years of Cultivation, and to the Earth Tier with thirty, then sitting on this Spirit Jade could potentially allow one to reach the Earth Tier in ten years, with hopes of breaking through to the Celestial Tier in this lifetime.

"Such a precious jade exists..."

"If I could obtain this Spirit Jade, I would have broken through to the Profound Tier long ago."

"The price of this Spirit Jade is surely going to be frighteningly high."

"..."

The Ancient Martial Artists below stared covetously at the massive Spirit Jade on stage.

In the VIP lodge, Bai Junlong from the Celestial Dragon Sect, who had yet to make a move, was now gazing intently at the Spirit Jade, his eyes shining.

The people of the Blood Eagle Sect, Hundred Beasts Valley, and Ximen Clan, without exception, all stared fervently at the Spirit Jade.

Nangong Hong took note of everyone's expressions and smiled even more.

"The starting price for this Spirit Jade is eighteen thousand Violent Dragon Pills, with each increment no less than one thousand Pills. I declare the bidding open now!"

Nangong Hong announced loudly.

"Eighteen thousand Violent Dragon Pills?!"

Upon hearing such a terrifying starting bid, everyone was a little speechless. The final price would surely be even more staggering. Consequently, many people turned their gazes towards the front few lodges.

Such a high price could only be contested by first-rate forces like the Celestial Dragon Sect and Blood Eagle Sect, as well as top second-rate forces like the Hundred Beasts Valley and Ximen Clan.

"Twenty thousand."

After a moment of silence, Ximen Feihua slowly closed the Ancient Bronze Fan in his hand and was the first to speak.

"Twenty-two thousand."

Xue Wuchuan glanced at Ximen Feihua and spoke coldly.

"Thirty thousand!"

In Bai Junlong's voice, there was a hint of dominance and arrogance, as if he were determined to win, directly raising the price to thirty thousand.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang's brow slightly furrowed. He had spent about eight thousand Violent Dragon Pills in previous auctions, and only had forty thousand left. However, seeing these people's momentum, it would probably be difficult to win the Spirit Jade with only forty thousand Pills.

"Miss, should we join in?"

Mu Shuiyuan's gaze shifted to the old woman beside her and asked.

"Miss, compared to the final auction item, this Spirit Jade might be more important to us. The Valley Master is already at the perfect Late Stage of the Earth Tier, one step away from breaking through to the Celestial Tier. If we obtain this Spirit Jade, the Valley Master is likely to break through!"

The old woman's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she spoke.

"Alright, then let's go all out for this Spirit Jade."

Mu Shuiyuan nodded and then gritted her teeth, calling out a price: "Thirty-five thousand!"

"Thirty-six thousand."

Xue Wuchuan's face held a trace of seriousness as he slowly spoke. Clearly, at this high price, he had to think carefully.

"Thirty-eight thousand!"

Mu Shuiyuan took a deep breath and raised the price by another two thousand.

These thirty-eight thousand Violent Dragon Pills were also her limit, considering she had just spent nearly twenty thousand to purchase the Ice Bear King's Crystal Core, along with the costs of auctioned Spirit Fruit and Spirit Grass.

Bai Junlong glanced at Mu Shuiyuan, a hint of passion in his eyes, but though he admired her, he would not neglect sect affairs. The bidding had to be won.

"The lady in lodge three bids thirty-eight thousand Violent Dragon Pills. Does anyone else wish to offer a higher price?"

Nangong Hong wore a smile on his face as he spoke.

"Miss Mu, my apologies, I bid forty thousand Violent Dragon Pills!"

Bai Junlong first said to Mu Shuiyuan, then glanced at Xue Wuchuan, whose face showed some hesitance, and offered his bid.

Upon hearing Bai Junlong's bid, Qin Yang's grip on the chair slightly tightened, then slowly relaxed, his eyes darkening as he murmured, "I can't win this Spirit Jade myself."

"Forty-one thousand!"

Xue Wuchuan fell silent for a moment, his gaze resting on the Spirit Jade, flickering, and then he once again offered a price.

However, no sooner had Xue Wuchuan spoken than Bai Junlong, with a tone of determination, fearlessly bid, "Forty-three thousand!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Wuchuan's face darkened. Clearly, such a high price had reached his limit. Turning to the Blood Clothes elder beside him, who lightly shook his head, he then gritted his teeth and could only give up on the Spirit Jade. Otherwise, securing this Spirit Jade would mean losing the final auction item for the Blood Eagle Sect.

"Forty-three thousand Violent Dragon Pills. Since there are no further bids, I announce that this Spirit Jade belongs to Young Master Bai of Lodge One."

Nangong Hong announced from the auction platform, although this Spirit Jade was precious, the current price was not low at all.

"Next, we present the final treasure of this auction."

After four strong men carried the Spirit Jade off the auction stage, Nangong Hong's gaze swept over the crowd, speaking.

As his words landed, another four strong men ascended the stage, carrying a silver frame. Atop the silver frame was an object covered in red cloth, though this object was slightly smaller than the previous Spirit Jade in size.

Rustle!

Nangong Hong's lips curled into a smile as he yanked away the red cloth, revealing the treasure within, instantly drawing all eyes toward it.

"Is that... a Demon Beast Egg?!"

Qin Yang's eyes showed a hint of surprise as he exclaimed.

On the silver frame was a large Demon Beast Egg, its shell emitting a faint silvery glow, with arcs of lightning flickering across its surface.

Through the slightly transparent eggshell, a bird-shaped creature could be vaguely seen within.

"It's actually a Flying Demon Beast Egg?!"

The crowd clearly saw the bird-like creature within the shell, and expressions of astonishment spread across their faces.

"This is a Flying Demon Beast Egg!"

"As expected of an auction hosted by the Nangong Family, what a grand display!"

"Once this Demon Beast Egg hatches, it becomes a flying mount!"

"..."

The crowd burst into a chorus of discussion, their voices unable to conceal their shock.

But, on reflection, this makes sense, as ordinary Demon Beast Eggs, although precious, would not suffice as the final highlight item.
