Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1391: Chapter 570: Bidding War! This Will Be Fun to Watch!

At this moment, Su Ping truly realized the indispensability of money. However, although the preceding items were highly valuable, they were clearly of no significance to Su Ping and Jiao Ji. Their focus lay on only two things. Jiao Ji was naturally focused on the Taiyin Water, while Su Ping had his eyes on the bottle of Qi of Yin Yang. To help Miss Qin breed the Taiji Yin Yang Embodiment, that item was absolutely essential.

Thinking of this, Su Ping finally couldn’t help but speak up. "Senior, if you have spare money later, please help me win the bid for the Qi of Yin Yang as well. When we return to the Heart of Myriad Spirits, I will find a way to pay you back."

Jiao Ji shot him a glance. "It’s just a trivial matter and a small amount of money. What’s there to pay back?"

She didn’t waste any more words. Because, in this auction that had lasted for a full two Xiaoshi and was nearing noon, the first Holy Spirit Level Resource was finally up for bidding. And this first item was exactly the Taiyin Water that everyone had been eagerly anticipating.

As a Water Element Holy Spirit Level Resource, Taiyin Water was heavily and widely utilized in a place like the Country of Ten Thousand Islands. Its value was definitely a tier higher than ordinary Holy Spirit Level Resources. Clearly, by featuring a Holy Spirit Level Resource as the first item, the Country of Ten Thousand Islands intended to use it to rouse the Spirit of some Advanced Level VIPs. However, the reality turned out somewhat different from expectations.

"The next item up for auction is the Holy Spirit Level Resource treasure that you have all been long awaiting: Taiyin Water! A total of 150 milliliters.

"Taiyin Water, a type of Water Resources, can help a large number of Water Element Pet Beasts achieve breakthroughs in their Pet Beast Realm, refine their skill level, and even if used directly, it can greatly increase the power of a Water Element Pet Beast’s Skills.

"If the user is not a Water Element Pet Beast, consuming it allows the corresponding Pet Beast to largely ignore Water Element attacks. If you want to deal with a Water Element opponent, consuming this item will ensure that no Water Element opponent will ever be a match for you!

"Furthermore, even if used by us humans, it can cleanse the purity of the soul, keeping one’s consciousness clear and significantly increasing meditation speed! It is an extremely precious treasure even among Spirit Saint Level items!

"Taiyin Water, starting price: 1 billion Dragon Coins! Each bid increment must not be less than 50 million Dragon Coins or 10 million Eagle Yuan! Now, let the auction begin!"

It was a bottle of dreamy, deep blue liquid. But after the auctioneer lady on stage finished introducing the item with a charming smile, a brief, awkward silence fell over the auction house. Almost everyone in the private boxes instinctively looked toward Box 22. This unique box belonged to none other than Governor Hato of the Eastern Island. Even if the latecomers didn’t know what this man had said earlier, they had been informed by friends upon arrival. Governor Hato had set his sights on this Taiyin Water!

Seemingly highly satisfied with his own prestige, a smiling voice came through the microphone from Box 22, "Since no one is bidding, I shall offer the base price. One billion it is!"

As soon as these words were spoken, dead silence persisted, with only Merck, sitting in Box 44, wearing a gloomy expression. He wondered if this old bastard was completely shameless. It was Taiyin Water! God only knew how much effort he had put into getting his hands on this item! And now it was being auctioned for a mere one billion? In a normal auction, its value wouldn’t be capped at five billion Dragon Coins; in the hands of someone in desperate need, it could even fetch ten billion. Yet with just one sentence from Hato, he was forced to suffer such a massive loss. How could he possibly accept this?

However, he also knew that it was indeed highly unlikely for others, who weren’t in urgent need of the Taiyin Water, to risk offending Hato by bidding against him. Yet, just as everyone thought that the Taiyin Water was about to be snatched away at the ridiculously low price of one billion, a crisp voice rang out.

"Are things in the Country of Ten Thousand Islands this cheap? So much Taiyin Water for only this price? Then I bid 1.1 billion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the boxes across the entire venue changed their expressions, their interest piqued to watch the drama unfold. Good heavens, did this person not know, or did they simply not care about Hato’s warning at all? They didn’t know the answer to that; they only knew that they were in for a good show!
