Chapter 48: Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg
Inside the private room, Gu He quietly sits in his chair, fingers intertwined, a faint smile appearing on his face as he listens to the continuously increasing prices ringing in his ears.
This Miteer-Tushan is truly skilled in business. He only mentioned the effects of the Two-Line Green Spirit Pill but didn't mention the drawbacks.
The Azure Spirit Pill, although it has the effect of helping martial artists break through barriers and advance, can only enhance their strength by one or two stars, and there is also a high chance of backlash.
The bidding voices echo one after another in the auction hall. In just ten minutes, the price of a Green Spirit Pill has risen from 350,000 to around 480,000. However, when the price reaches this point, the bidding becomes sparse. After all, one pill for 480,000 is already quite a large sum for many people.
"550,000."
Just as the price hovers around 490,000, a slightly louder voice finally emerges from the private room.
Hearing this sudden increase of 60,000 in price, Gu He looks over with a somewhat surprised gaze and murmurs to himself, "It seems that some prestigious family has set their sights on this Green Spirit Pill."
The bidding voice that suddenly came from the private room immediately quiets down the previously noisy auction hall.
Those who had planned to raise the price again exchange glances and reluctantly sit back down.
Although they have some funds, compared to the powerful families in the private room, they are undoubtedly outmatched.
In that case, it's better to simply give up.
"560,000 gold coins!"
"570,000 gold coins!"
"580,000 gold coins!"
"590,000 gold coins!"
...

In the end, the Green Spirit Pill was sold for a price of 600,000 gold coins.
After the auction of the Green Spirit Pill, the following items didn't fetch high prices. Some of them were only bid on once and successfully taken away. This made Miteer-Tushan on the stage feel somewhat distressed, as it would affect his performance and income.

Fortunately, after this low period lasted for more than ten minutes, the atmosphere suddenly picked up again. Even Gu He was attracted by the auction item.
With great care, Gu He raises a silver plate covered with red cloth high above his head, facing the crowd with a mysterious expression on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item up for auction is something that you will surely find interesting. With proper cultivation, it might even create a King-level powerhouse in your family."
Hearing Miteer-Tushan's introduction, Gu He faintly senses what is being auctioned this time.
"A Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg, the Ironwing Giant Eagle!"
At this moment, Miteer-Tushan's hand trembles as he removes the red cloth covering the silver plate, revealing a blue magic beast egg in front of everyone's eyes.
"As expected..."
Looking at the blue magic beast egg in Miteer-Tushan's hand, a smile appears on Gu He's lips.
The entire blue magic beast egg is covered in strange patterns, giving it a mysterious appearance.
As soon as this so-called Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg appears, the auction hall falls silent.
But the silence doesn't last long before it becomes lively again.
Even the prestigious families in the private rooms are somewhat restless at this moment. Apparently, they are also tempted by this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg.
After all, obtaining this magic beast egg and nurturing it well might result in the assistance of a King-level powerhouse in the future.
Moreover, the Ironwing Giant Eagle is a rare flying magic beast.
"A Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg, I like it!"
In one of the private rooms, a middle-aged man looks at Miteer-Tushan's magic beast egg with a burning gaze.
"Master, this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg will probably not go for less than a million gold coins. If we spend like this, we won't be able to compete for the King-level Pill later," a man resembling a steward advises in a low voice behind him.
"That's true, but I'm afraid other major families have also set their sights on the King-level Pill. We don't have the strength to compete with them!" the middle-aged man sighs.
On the crystal auction stage, Miteer-Tushan enthusiastically explains the benefits of the Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg in his hand, causing the audience to look at it with extremely hot gazes.
"Hehe, I believe you all understand the importance of this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg now. Let's start the auction. The starting price is one million. Now, let the bidding begin!" Miteer-Tushan smiles.
"One million gold coins, a bit expensive."
Hearing the price of one million, Gu He is slightly surprised, but considering that the Ironwing Giant Eagle is a flying magic beast, he feels somewhat relieved. "Although it's a bit pricey, a flying magic beast is indeed worth this price."
However, he could sense that after this million gold coin price appeared, the intense gazes in the venue immediately decreased.
Obviously, such a high price made many people give up.
"One million one hundred thousand gold coins!"
"One million two hundred thousand gold coins!"
"One million three hundred thousand gold coins!"
Just as Miteer-Tushan's voice fell, voices came from the private rooms.
Clearly, even with such a high price, the temptation of the Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg still attracted many prestigious families.
Soon, this magic beast egg reached a high price of one million seven hundred thousand.
Seeing that the bidding voices were getting fewer, Gu He knew it was time for him to make a move.
Indeed, this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg was one of the auction items he had set his sights on.
Although, for him, this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg was of no use.
But his disciple seemed to not have a pet yet, right?
If he were to give this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg to his disciple and trigger a ten-thousand-fold return, what kind of magic beast egg would he obtain?
Thinking of this, Gu He felt a bit excited in his heart, and then he shouted directly, "Two million gold coins!"
As soon as this price was announced, a commotion erupted in the auction hall.
Subsequently, even the prestigious families did not continue to bid.
This guy added thirty thousand gold coins at once, clearly declaring to everyone, "I'm taking this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg!"
On the crystal auction stage, Miteer-Tushan recognized that it was Gu He's voice and felt somewhat surprised.
Why would the Pill King want this Fifth-Order Magic Beast Egg?
However, although he was puzzled, he quickly realized it. After inquiring three times to the crowd, he firmly struck the auction hammer in his hand.
