Since ancient times, flying into the sky has been a human dream. With the development of technology, humans have invented hot air balloons, gliders, airplanes, etc., and can now fly in the sky, but riding these tools is ultimately not that free.
For some powerful Ancient Martial Artists, a long time ago, they could ride some tamed flying mounts and soar freely in the sky.
The speed of flying mounts is extremely fast, and since there are no obstacles in the sky, their speed naturally surpasses most land-based Demon Beasts.
Owning a flying mount is the dream of countless top-tier Ancient Martial Artists!
As it can be seen, having a flying mount is incredibly precious, and many first-class sects do not even have one. Who would have thought that the highlight of this auction would be an egg of a flying Demon Beast.
Once a Demon Beast Egg hatches, with careful care, it will grow to a size that can carry people to fly above the nine heavens.
"This is a Demon Beast Egg of a Flying Thunder Eagle, a thunder attribute creature. As everyone knows, Flying Thunder Eagles are among the fastest of flying Demon Beasts. I believe there's no need for me to elaborate on the value of this Demon Beast Egg."
Nangong Hong's gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes meeting one eager look after another, with a slight smile on his lips, he spoke.
"An egg of a flying mount..."
Qin Yang's eyes lit up, murmuring to himself, evidently, this final highlight of the auction was beyond his expectations.
On the Immortal Yuan Continent, some large sects keep various rare Spirit Beasts, such as Griffins, Black Feathered Eagles, Spirit Cranes, which are relatively common flying Demon Beasts on the Immortal Yuan Continent and are used for transporting people.
Cultivators, in the stages of Immortal Warrior and Immortal Master, cannot fly with Spiritual Treasures, so long-distance travel relies on flying Demon Beasts.
"The starting price for this Flying Thunder Eagle's Demon Beast Egg is fifty thousand Violent Dragon Pills, with minimum raises of one thousand Violent Dragon Pills at a time. I now announce the auction begins!"
Nangong Hong announced loudly, full of vigor.
"Fifty thousand Violent Dragon Pills, that's truly a sky-high price!"
"It's even seven thousand higher than the previous Spirit Jade's selling price..."
"..."
Everyone's expressions showed surprise as they muttered among themselves, then their gazes turned towards the Celestial Dragon Sect, Blood Eagle Sect, and Ximen Clan, these three factions.
This final competition, it's likely only these three would have such immense financial resources.
As for the Hundred Beasts Valley, after acquiring the Crystal Core of the Ice Bear King, their financial power is limited, and they might not have the fate to bid on this flying Demon Beast Egg.
However, the Hundred Beasts Valley is a sect focused on taming Demon Beasts, with three flying Demon Beasts within the sect, so not winning the bid for this Flying Thunder Eagle's Demon Beast Egg wouldn't impact them much.
"Fifty-two thousand!"
Bai Junlong took a deep breath and reported a number.
The Celestial Dragon Sect was promoted to a first-class sect in recent years, and there is no flying mount in the sect, so for this flying mount's Demon Beast Egg, they will certainly strive their utmost to acquire it.
"Young master, we must do our best to bid for this Demon Beast Egg. In a few days, it will be the old master's birthday. If we can present this as a birthday gift to him, young master's status in the family will be greatly elevated."
In Pavilion No. 4, Elder Han, sitting beside Ximen Feihua, pondered and said.
"With Celestial Dragon Sect and Blood Eagle Sect in the competition, it might be very difficult to win the bid."
Ximen Feihua shook his head slightly and said.
They haven't made many purchases in this auction, thus still have many Violent Dragon Pills on hand, but competing with first-class powers like the Celestial Dragon Sect and Blood Eagle Sect, the odds are not in their favor.
"Let's give it a try anyway."
Ximen Feihua closed the Ancient Bronze Fan in hand, a flash of determination gleamed in his eyes as he reported a number that startled everyone present.
"Sixty thousand!"
As the words fell, both Bai Junlong from Celestial Dragon Sect and Xue Wuchuan from Blood Eagle Sect glanced at Ximen Feihua, guessing that this young kid was putting everything he had on the line.
"Sixty-one thousand."
Bai Junlong was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"Young Sect Leader Bai, your raise seems a bit pitiful. Even Ximen just raised it by eight thousand Violent Dragon Pills."
Xue Wuchuan laughed sarcastically, evil qi swirling in his eyes.
"You name your price, the amount I raise is my choice."
Bai Junlong frowned and said.
"Hmph, now it's probably just between our two factions, let's settle this sooner. Seventy thousand, my Blood Eagle Sect bids seventy thousand!"
Xue Wuchuan snorted coldly and said.
"Seventy-eight thousand."
Bai Junlong exhaled deeply, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he reported the highest price he could afford — his limit.
Previously, their bid for that Spirit Jade consumed forty-three thousand Violent Dragon Pills, otherwise, they wouldn't find this so strenuous.
"Eighty thousand!"
Xue Wuchuan glanced at Bai Junlong with a must-win attitude and said.
Upon hearing the astronomical price of eighty thousand, the venue fell silent, and Bai Junlong refrained from bidding further.
"Eighty thousand Violent Dragon Pills, if there are no further bids, then I declare the final auction item, the Demon Egg of the Flying Thunder Eagle, belongs to the Blood Eagle Sect!"
Nangong Hong loudly announced.
"Young Sect Leader, this..."
Elder Qingsong frowned, glancing at Bai Junlong, not expecting the final Flying Thunder Eagle's Demon Beast Egg to still fall into Blood Eagle Sect's hands.
"Elder Qingsong, say no more."
Bai Junlong waved a hand, stopping Elder Qingsong, yet deep within his eyes, lights flickered, lost in thought.
"This auction ends here. Thank you all for your patronage. Those who have secured items in the auction, please proceed to the back to make the payments."
Nangong Hong smiled and said.
The auction concluded here.
After the crowd dispersed, Qin Yang went to the back to pay a little less than two hundred and seventy Primordial Spirit Pills and collected the items he had bid on: Moon Spirit Reishi, Ice Spirit Flower, a book on Clear Wind and Bright Moon Swordsmanship, and a piece of Fire Profound Bamboo.
The auction had lasted a whole day, by the time the three walked out of the auction hall, it was already dark.
Qin Yang carefully stored the Ice Spirit Flower, then handed the remaining three items to the two women.
"Brother Qin Yang, if it weren't for this piece of Fire Profound Bamboo, you would have been able to win the Spirit Jade in the auction."
Zilan looked at the one-foot-long fiery red bamboo in her hand, her small face showing a hint of apology. Brother Qin Yang had spent four thousand Violent Dragon Pills to obtain this piece of Fire Profound Bamboo.
"Hehe, don't worry about it, perhaps there's another way to get it back."
A flicker of light shone in Qin Yang's eyes as he smiled and said. That piece of Spirit Jade was related to the Spirit Field and the Spirit Gathering Array, and he was determined to get it.
"Hmm? Brother Qin Yang, are you suggesting... to steal it?"
Zilan's clear eyes blinked, her eyes darted as she spoke.
