Chapter 485: Chapter 451: Qingfeng Compass (Two in One)_2

"As everyone knows, Qing Qingni only exists in the 16th Secret Realm of the Zhongkong Region, and the 16th Secret Realm opens only once every thirty years,"

"With only two years left until the next opening of the 16th Secret Realm, I believe everyone here is quite interested in the compass that can locate Qing Qingni."

Upon hearing the last sentence, everyone thought, isn’t that stating the obvious? Who wouldn’t be interested in the Qingfeng Compass?

The auction items at the Muzhen Auction are always kept confidential before the auctioning process begins, but those present are no ordinary folk. The Muzhen Auction, to attract more high-quality patrons, often releases some information about the auction items in advance.

Over 70% of the people in the audience had already received news that the Qingfeng Compass would be auctioned, and most of them were here for just that purpose.

Seeing the eager expressions on people’s faces, Tang Shu smiled and said, "The Qingfeng Compass, starting bid, 110 million!"

Holy shit, the starting bid is already 110 million... Qiao Sang was profoundly shocked. Although she didn’t recognize the Qingfeng Compass or Qing Qingni, she knew money!

Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone and started searching for "Qing Qingni," wanting to find out exactly what it was.

"..." Yu Ke was completely resigned, having not expected the girl before him to stay so calm about the Qingfeng Compass and even start playing with her phone!

[Qing Qingni, a junior pet beast from the Fairy Series legendary in the Zhongkong Region. Known as the darling of wind, it is easily affected by surrounding wind conditions—serene in a gentle breeze but irritable in a gale. In short, the stronger the wind, the worse its mood.]

[It loves to ride the wind, drifting about, and it can pass through even the smallest gaps like the wind.]

[It is said that Beast Tamers who contract with it also become loved by the winds.]

Qiao Sang instantly understood why the starting price for the Qingfeng Compass was so high upon seeing the information on her phone.

Not to mention anything else, the word "legendary" alone justifies the price.

Others were definitely aiming to contract Qing Qingni.

If there was a chance to contract a legendary Pet Beast, not just a hundred million, but even going bankrupt might be a willing choice for many people.

After all, owning a legendary Pet Beast meant countless ways to make money, and the chance to encounter one probably comes only once in a lifetime.

Not to mention the people of the Zhongkong Region adore the sky above the sea and earth.

Here, people often mount their Pet Beasts and fly about in the sky. Having Qing Qingni contracted and becoming favored by the winds would increase the safety factor in the sky manifold.

However good this thing might be, it was none of her business. Some things you fear are that you have the money to buy but not the life to enjoy... Qiao Sang put down her phone.

At this moment, the price had been raised to 370 million.

"You’re not interested in the Qingfeng Compass?" Yu Ke, not having given up after being rebuffed twice, asked in a low voice.

She hadn’t forgotten her purpose for coming here, which was to socialize!

The girl before her seemed distinguished in every aspect, definitely from a prominent family. Fostering a good relationship with her was surely the right move!

"I am interested," said Qiao Sang.

Yu Ke was somewhat incredulous, "Then why don’t you show any reaction?"

You were even playing with your phone just now! Of course, she didn’t voice this thought aloud.

Qiao Sang replied, "Perhaps I just have better control over my facial expressions."

Yu Ke’s mouth twitched slightly as she tried to keep the conversation going, "I wonder who will end up winning the Qingfeng Compass."

Qiao Sang considered for a moment and said earnestly, "It should be someone with a strong enough backing that they’re not afraid of being robbed, I guess."

Yu Ke was taken aback and laughed despite herself, "How could it possibly get stolen? This is the Muzhen Auction!"

"What about the Muzhen Auction? Can it guarantee you won’t get robbed after you leave?" Qiao Sang asked.

Yu Ke spoke as if it were obvious:

"It’s your first time at the Muzhen Auction, and your family must have forgotten to tell you. Every single item at the Muzhen Auction is cursed by a ’Night Spirit’ with a curse. Other than the person who wins the item, anyone who obtains the auctioned item through illicit means will be cursed and meet an untimely death."

"What?" Qiao Sang was momentarily stupefied, "Is there no way to lift the curse?"

Yu Ke chuckled:

"Why do you think the Muzhen Auction is so famous? The Night Spirit casting the curse has lived for at least a hundred years and has definitely attained a Mystique Level of proficiency in cursing. Unless a Pet Beast stronger than the Night Spirit appears, and it also possesses a Skill like ’Purification’ that can lift the curse, anyone less powerful is likely to suffer backlash."

"Even if a Pet Beast with a Purification Skill at the Mystique Level exists, it wouldn’t dare to attempt it carelessly."
