“This nian eats the brains of dragons to survive, so you can understand how formidable it is? The base price is 1 000 chips. Our soul breaking grass will ensure that this divine beast will remain loyal and docile toward you!”
The auction master was a faintly green elf and looked extremely adorable. When he waved his hand, a medicinal herb wrapped up in a white cover of energy appeared in his grasp under everyone’s gaze.
“The price of this soul breaking grass is 500 chips! If you love your family, don’t forget to buy this soul breaking grass. Otherwise, this ancient divine beast won’t be as docile!”
Yuan Biyao’s eyes went wide, and she muttered, “These people surprisingly even dare to sell an ancient divine beast in their auction!”
“So is this nian really that ferocious?” Li Yunmu asked calmly.
Yuan Biyao looked at him with large eyes. “Haven’t you even heard of nian, this ancient divine beast? It is even fiercer than a dragon! If it were not for auction master using that grass to keep it docile and submissive, everyone here would’ve been ripped apart by this beast.”
Li Yunmu was slightly startled. He hadn’t expected that nian was such a ferocious beast.
“Give me some chips, I want to purchase this nian!” he said with a smile to Ling Youren.
“What? Did you eat something bad? You actually want to buy this nian? That’s just an ancient divine beast!”
Li Yunmu smiled. “I am not interested in that nian, but the soul breaking grass which can subdue an ancient divine beast. It seems like that soul breaking grass is quite extraordinary, but if I purchase it directly, it will seem like I have another aim. Perhaps this auction master won’t even sell it to me.”
Yuan Biyao was speechless, but she could also understand Li Yunmu’s reasoning. In truth, she was also somewhat interested in that soul breaking grass.
Li Yunmu raised his tile and said, “I bid 1 100 chips!”
The auction master heard Li Yunmu’s bid and said with a smile, “This young master bid 1 100 chips. Does anyone want to bid higher than this young mater?”
The people in the auction didn’t continue to compete with Li Yunmu, which he found somewhat strange.
Soon, he even heard the other bidders jeering at him.
“Idiot, just a youngster who doesn’t know anything. Purchasing this nian is just a disaster, what’s the use? He is just wasting soul breaking grass.”
“Ha ha ha… Young people don’t understand how high is heaven. Buying this nian at 1100 chips will teach him a little lesson!”
“There are still many treasures remaining. He shouldn’t waste his chips on such garbage at the very start.”
Even after hearing the ridicule, Li Yunmu didn’t think he was making a mistake, and soon the auction master said, “Congratulations, young master, you obtained the nian for 1100 chips. Do you want the soul breaking grass? If you want it, then the price will be 500 chips!”
Li Yunmu nodded and said, “Bring me the soul breaking grass!”
The auction master smiled at him. “This young master is truly extravagant! The ancient divine beast nian is yours! Together with a patch of soul breaking grass, it will be 1 600 chips altogether. After the auction is over, you can change for the goods with your chips.”
At that moment, the nian suddenly moved, giving a fright to everyone in the auction.
The auction master promptly placated them. “It’s alright. Everyone needn’t be so nervous. This nian is under the influence of soul breaking grass, so this is just some ordinary movement. No need to be scared.”
Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes and said, “There really are some problems with soul breaking grass.”
Yuan Biyao frowned again, feeling a cold wind on her back filled with scathing killing intent. She promptly turned her head, but she didn’t discover anything. However, she still felt a sense of restlessness in her heart.
It was strange. She clearly felt someone looking at her, but why couldn’t she find that person?
Li Yunmu noticed the uneasiness in Yuan Biyao’s behaviour and asked while smiling, “Biyao, what happened? It seems like something is bothering you?”
“I feel as if we are being watched by someone, but I can’t explain that feeling,” she quickly whispered in his ear.
Li Yunmu was slightly startled, and he quickly used his perception power to search through the people in the auction. He would notice if some peculiarity appeared in anyone’s breath.
But even after searching with his perception power, he didn’t discover anything suspicious. He relaxed then and said with a smile to Yuan Biyao, “Your probably mistaken! They will now bring out the next treasure so we should take a look at it!”
“Alright!”
Yuan Biyao nodded without any alternative and looked at the auction master, who brought out the next treasure. It was a piece of crystal stone, which was also extraordinary!
“This is a devil spirit stone! It is the dream treasure of all the residents of the Devil World. The bidding starts at 5 000 chips!”
When the auction master said such a high price, Li Yunmu’s complexion turned somewhat ugly. Ling Youren had only exchanged for some forty thousand chips, but if the base price was 5 000 and everyone would fight over it, the price would definitely exceed ten thousand.
Li Yunmu felt that it wasn’t worth it, but just as he thought to give up on the bidding, he saw Ling Youren’s eyes lit up with inner light.
“Li Ying, quick! Compete in the auction! This stuff, you must get it, you cannot let it fall into the hands of others!”
Ling Youren’s excitement startled Li Yunmu, but she said that the object was very important, it had to be extraordinary.
Without waiting for Li Yunmu to shout, the people in the surroundings began to raise the bid.
“6 000 chips!”
“8 000 chips!”
“10 000 chips!”
Li Yunmu couldn’t help but be amazed. What exactly was that thing? Lots of people were bidding for it, so it simply couldn’t be anything ordinary.
The eyes of the people bidding began to shine as if they had come in for that exact moment.
But Li Yunmu felt strange that only the devils were betting like crazy on that object. The ordinary mortals as well as gods were completely unconcerned.
“What’s the use of that devil spirit stone? Why are so many people crazily fighting for it?”
Ling Youren was slightly astonished. “Li Ying, have you forgotten? The devil spirit stone controls the devils’ strength. Whoever obtains it will become the new master of the Devil World. Didn’t you want to become the master of the Devil World? You must obtain it!”
Li Yunmu was startled, but the only thought in his head was that he wasn’t Li Ying! Was it necessary then for him to fight until death with those people?
But before he could say that, Ling Youren suddenly raised her hand.
“I bid 20 000 chips!.
