Chapter 37

Earth Yuan monsters usually run on the ground, and the Heaven Yuan spirit beast can fly in the sky. After the Earth Yuan warriors are promoted to the Heaven Yuan level, they can form a soul contract with the Heaven Yuan spirit beast. There are many ways for warriors to fly in the air. Like Tang Xiao’s Qi Condensation and Transformation of the Eagle, flying in a way that consumes a large amount of true energy is the lowest-level flight method, which consumes extremely internal energy and cannot fly far.

After the fifth level of the Human Yuan, flying with the refined flying magic weapon can save a lot of true qi consumption, but it will still continue to consume true qi, and it is also impossible to fly too long and far.

Only when a warrior who reaches the Tianyuan level or above has signed a soul contract with the Tianyuan Spirit Beast can he truly not consume the true energy in his body and drive the Tianyuan Spirit Beast that is soaring in the sky. It is not a dream to continue flying thousands of miles a day.

Of course, for Tang Xiao now, the road to the powerful Tianyuan is too far away.

Back at the auction hall, the top priority of this auction is the cub of this Earth Yuan monster.

The Earth Yuan-level warrior wants to successfully establish a soul contract with the Earth Yuan monster. The one with the highest success rate is of course to raise a Earth Yuan monster since childhood, cultivate feelings with it, and then choose a time when it is in the best mood to make a conclusion. Therefore, the auction price of a Earth Yuan monster cub will be much higher than that of an adult Earth Yuan monster.

The one who entered the Baoyuan Hall auction this time was a Tarman Snow Wolf's cub. The adult Tarman Snow Wolf was three, four meters tall, seven or eight meters long. The Tarman Snow Wolf's cub was trained for about 30 years before she could have basic combat power, so these cubs were usually sold to the sons of the prince and raised with the newly born little master. Thirty years later, when the little master advanced to the Earth Yuan level, he could transform into the Taman Snow Wolf and exert his combat power.

Tang Xiao couldn't be interested in this Taman Snow Wolf's cub. Firstly, it took too long to form combat power, and secondly, this thing belongs to a low-grade earth monster. Even if it successfully concluded a soul contract, its combat power growth would be very limited.

Therefore, Tang Xiao roughly set the purpose of going to the auction this time to buy some pills and fight for the Earth Yuan Pill. The lower-grade Earth Yuan magic weapon and the lower-grade Earth Yuan monster are not within his consideration.

If he couldn't get the Earth Yuan Dan, Tang Xiao would not rule out the possibility of following the people who got the Earth Yuan Dan and robbing him at night. He was a professional killer in his previous life, and he had done a lot of such murder and robbery.

The plan was decided, and Tang Xiao, under the protection of Mu Cang and a group of Tang Mansion guards, went to the Baoyuantang auction house with Zhu Qian in a carriage.

The Baoyuantang Auction House also belongs to the Daming Dynasty royal family. To put it bluntly, it is a state-owned asset similar to today's Sinopec. Therefore, like the Golden House Casino, it is also stationed by royal soldiers to maintain order.

The Baoyuantang Auction Store is built with an artistic temperament, which reminds Tang Xiao immediately of the Beijing Bird's Nest in his previous life. From the outside, the auction house is a pure cube building, built in the middle of a large square in Taijing City. The entire square is paved with large bluestone slabs with dragon-shaped shapes. Four golden dragons are also crawling on the four edges of the cube building, which makes people know at a glance that it belongs to the royal industry.

The guards inside and outside the auction hall are tightly guarded, and a powerful Earth Yuan level man is also in charge. Those who maintain order and patrol nearby are all warrior soldiers of the third level of the Human Yuan level. In addition, this place is close to the Forbidden City, so no one dares to cause trouble here.

The first floor of the auction house is like a free market. Many people rent stalls to sell some low-level boxing scripts, refining materials and other things. Of course, there are occasionally some low-quality magic weapons for sale.

Tang Xiao did not waste much time here, and the auction upstairs was about to begin. After he and Zhu Gan took out the invitation, they were led upstairs by the staff, and the Tang family and the Zhu family guards also followed.

Although you can see from the outside that the auction house is very large, after entering, I really feel that its space is really large and the design is very special. There are some loose tables in the middle, and there are a whole circle of two-story private rooms around, and there are dozens of rooms on each floor.

After checking the silver notes brought in a private room, Tang Xiao and Zhu Gan obtained the right to choose a private room. The venue is circular and the auction table is also circular and is located in the center of the venue. Therefore, each private room is equally positioned relative to the auction table, and there is nothing to choose. In addition, there are already people in many private rooms, Tang Xiao randomly picked a room from the remaining private rooms and asked the staff to take him and Zhu Gan in.

Each private room has a special secret passage. I don’t know how these secret passages are designed, but Tang Xiao speculated that this design was to prevent the people participating in the auction from knowing each other’s private room number, so as to find out who the other party is, and then killing and robbing after leaving the auction.

To put it bluntly, it is to guard against people like Tang Xiao.

When the auction hall checks the silver notes, the customer's private room number and corresponding funding status will be registered. The purpose of capital verification is to avoid some customers making trouble during the auction. Although there is not so much money, it disrupts the auction order and raises prices.

Tang Xiao and Zhu Gan came a little late. They had just sat down in the private room and the auction officially began. The individual customers in the hall raised their own signs, but the bidding in the private room usually took the instructions from the owner of the private room and the staff would raise the signs on their behalf, which was also to protect the bidder's privacy.

Tang Xiao came here this time mainly to familiarize himself with the auction houses and auction rules in this world, and to take some pills. If he could track the whereabouts of the Diyuan Pill, he would not rule out that he would go to a business of killing and robbing after the auction ended. However, it must be done with confidence and success.

I didn’t think that when I took those elixirs before, but now I personally participated in the auction, and I realized that the prices of ordinary low-grade elixirs in one group are over a few hundred taels, and even thousands of taels can be sold! The prices of medium-grade elixirs in one group are several thousand taels, and there are not a few sets of them for auction.

Top-grade elixirs and top-grade elixirs? There is no stock at all.

It seems that the cost of trying to speed up the martial artist's cultivation is really not small. However, the silver in Tang Xiao's hand came easily, and the elixirs were all needed by him, so he took pictures of all the elixirs that could be used in a nutshell. He spent more than 40,000 taels of silver and shot more than 2,000 bottles of elixirs back, which was at least enough for him to use it for a few months.

However, after spending more than 40,000 taels of silver on the pill, Tang Xiao was completely excluded from the ranks of competitors in the auction of Diyuan Dan.

"Brother Tang, do you take these elixirs as candy?" Zhu Gan was thinking about pulling Tang Xiao's tens of thousands of taels of silver to make some investments, but he didn't expect that he had all replaced them with elixirs.

"Not bad!" Tang Xiao looked at Zhu Gan with a smile, and said nothing more. I really want to thank the Xu brothers. Most of the elixirs and silver that Tang Xiao needed to practice martial arts were contributed by the two brothers.

Many individual customers also looked at the private room where Tang Xiao was curiously, because 90% of the elixir products at this auction were auctioned by this private room. They were curious about who was in the private room.

The staff asked Tang Xiao if he had taken away the items he had photographed. If he didn't take them away, he could leave an address. They would send them to him at the agreed time. Tang Xiao couldn't hold the storage gourd, so he left the address and asked them to send them to the Tang Mansion directly. These staff members did their work for the royal family, and of course they did not dare to disclose the guests' addresses and identities casually, otherwise they would be punished with a serious crime.

The auction of Diyuan Dan began, with a minimum price of 50,000 taels. Tang Xiao had very little silver left and no right to participate. The bidding price of Diyuan Dan was indeed fierce, soaring straight up, quickly exceeding 60,000, and then rose to 80,000. Finally, it was sold by the No. 18 private room at a high price of 115,000 taels.

Tang Xiao initially converted it. The purchasing power of 115,000 taels of silver is almost equivalent to more than 200 million yuan! In other words, in the previous life, his net worth was not worth a few billion yuan, and he really couldn't afford to spend this thing.
