Cultivation Pet Shop

After the duel had been set, the two of them sat down again.

After all, if they left now, they would surely create a scene and attract unwanted attention.

So they planned on staying to the end of the auction before heading back to the palace to duel each other.

Lin Fan was actually quite interested in the end of the auction.

If something like the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood was used as the item for the middle of the auction, just what would they use for the end of the auction?

It would definitely be something that wasn’t inferior to the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood since it was the finale.

Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling excited when he thought of this.

Even though he had a calm look on the surface, he had actually been quite excited when he won the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood.

He also knew what the concept of a Ruler Artifact was and unlike these other juniors, he was someone that was actually able to use it.

This was something that he had found a long time ago in the system’s store, but he never had a chance to use it. After all, it was a very special use item and it was very rare to find a chance to use it.

But now that he was in this Lin Astral Empire, he actually did have the chance to use it.

As long as he brought this piece of Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood back to the Lin Astral Family and had the Lin Astral Emperor turn it into a Ruler Artifact for him, he would be able to use it.

While there were conditions to him being able to use it, it was a fact that he would be able to use it.

The item from the system’s store would allow him to form a spiritual connection with the Ruler Artifact, just like his connection with the Iron Eater Bone Artifact. As long as there was this connection, even if his cultivation was too weak to use the full power of the Ruier Artifact, he would still be able to draw on bits of the Ruler Artifact’s power.

There was no doubt that this would make him much stronger since even a trace of the Ruler Artifact’s power could be looked down on. Just the trace would be enough to make him stronger than everyone in the same minor realm of cultivation as him.

He was currently in the Mid Star Realm, so that meant that just with his powers alone and the powers of the Ruler Artifact, he would be able to fight those in the Peak Star Realm…Though with Lin Fan’s unique physique and power, it was better to compare him to someone in the Low Planet Realm.

So with this Ruler Artifact, he would be able to face anyone in the Peak Planet Realm.

Of course he would be excited about something like that.

Time passed and the different items were brought out one by one for the auction, but there wasn’t a single item that caught Lin Fan’s eyes.

There were a few that caught the eyes of the Lin Astral Family juniors and they easily won their bids.

Without Lin Fan blocking them, they had more than enough money and influence to suppress all the people down below.

If there was an item that they wanted, it was easy for them to get.

Finally, it was time for the final item to be brought out.

The beautiful auctioneer had been quite filled with energy when introducing the other items, but when it came to this item, she suddenly became very quiet and mysterious.

She didn’t give them any hints as to what this item was and wouldn’t bring it out right away.

She said that the item was still being prepared, so they needed to wait a while before it could be brought out.

So during this time, she performed a song and dance for everyone accompanied by zither music.

This beautiful auctioneer was well trained, so naturally she was able to sing, dance, and play the zither if she wanted. With her beautiful dancing and singing, all of the dissatisfied feelings in the crowd immediately disappeared.

When faced with this beautiful singing and dancing, along with the beauty of the auctioneer, it was impossible for them to remain angry.𝓞𝚟𝗅xt.𝑐𝓞𝑚

After the performance, the beautiful auctioneer announced that they would be taking an intermission before bringing out the final item.

It seemed like the auction house was really stalling for time, but that also made people more excited.

After all, the longer that they stalled, the more precious the item was. They were clearly trying to give people as much time as possible to gather as much money as they could.

Which is what a lot of people did during this intermission.

Including the people inside the VVIP room.

When the beautiful auctioneer finally appeared again, she had regained her energy from before and excitedly introduced the item.

When everyone heard what the item was, they couldn’t help being shocked.

In terms of value, this couldn’t be considered as something that was more valuable than the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood, but for certain people, it definitely had more practical value.

The item that was brought out was an egg and nothing else.

However, this wasn’t a normal egg.

This was the egg of a qilin and it had already been confirmed that this qilin had a very purified bloodline.

That meant that as long as the qilin was hatched and trained properly, there was a chance that one would be able to obtain a Ruler Realm Pet.

But this was a very risky investment since it was hard to guarantee that the hatched qilin would become a Ruler Realm Pet.

This was a living being and there were many accidents that could happen when it came to living beings. So there would never be a guarantee that one would be able to hatch a Ruler Realm Pet.

But the attraction of a Ruler Realm Pet was still very strong for many people.

That naturally included the Lin Astral Family juniors in the VVIP room.

As members of the Lin Astral Family, they also had experience with Ruler Realm Pets. So they were the people with the highest chance of developing a Ruler Realm Pet with the support of their family.

So many of them wanted this egg.

But the problem was…

They all turned to look at Lin Fan.

If it was once, it was an accident, but a second time couldn’t be considered an accident.

Lin Fan had been able to bring out two dragon vein crystals, so there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t have another one.

He was also from the Lin Astral Family like them, so he would also be able to nurture this egg into a Ruler Realm Pet. If he wanted this egg, they really wouldn’t be able to stop him.

So they could only pray that he didn’t want it.

It was just too bad that they couldn’t read through that calm look on his face.

He was like a tiki head statue with that expression on his face.

After giving a long introduction to the egg, the beautiful auctioneer finally started the bidding.

There were plenty of people that wanted the egg in the audience, so it didn’t take long before bids came in.

But in the VVIP room, all of the Lin Astral Family juniors just sat there in silence, waiting for Lin Fan to make a move.

Before Lin Fan showed his card, they weren’t willing to make a move.

It was just too bad that Lin Fan didn’t show a single thing and the time was against them. Soon, there were only a few people that were making bids and it seemed like the auction was about to end.

They weren’t willing to let this egg slip out of their hands, so they were becoming more and more tense until one of them finally couldn’t take it and made a bid.

Once that string of tension was cut, there was nothing holding them back anymore.

All of a sudden, there were a bunch of bids that came from the VVIP room that shocked everyone below.

There were a few people down there that weren’t willing to give up and made bids along with the VVIP room, but they were quickly suppressed by the bids of the VVIP room.

The Lin Astral Family juniors had more than enough money each to suppress the people down there, so there was no need to mention them being able to compete.

It didn’t take long before there were only bids that came from the VVIP room.

These bids also didn’t last long since they all had a good idea of how much money each of them had. After all, while they were from the same family, they were from different branches and in competition with each other. They naturally kept eyes on each other to ensure that they would come out on top, so they had plenty of information on each other.

The one that came out on top would be the one that could gather the most money in the short time that they had before the auction.

In the end, the one that had the highest bid was Lin Rong, one of the more talented juniors of the Lin Astral Family who was in a different branch than Lin Hong.

She had been able to contact one of the elders and received more money than the rest, so she was able to make the highest bid.

That was until the two count came and Lin Fan pressed the button on his armrest, “One dragon vein crystal.”
