“Miss, this spiritual stone is too precious, we can’t accept it, please take it back!” Immediately, Harleen looked at the other party and spoke.
She naturally didn’t think the girl in green was joking.
Just as the other party said, there are all sorts of wonders in the world, just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!
“What’s so precious about this, it’s just a small spiritual stone, you…” The girl in green responded.
“Miss, just sit here, no need to pay us!” Harleen interrupted her.
“Then take this!” After putting away the spiritual stone, the girl in green took out a beast core from her body and handed it to Harleen.
Casey and the others looked at the beast core, then looked at Billy with puzzled expressions.
Because they still couldn’t sense what level of beast core it was.
“Mid-rank Sacred Beast Core!” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly and replied.
Casey and the others gasped again.
“Well then, thank you, Miss!” Harleen wanted to decline, but seeing that the other party was indeed sincere, she didn’t insist rejecting anymore.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed across the face of the gray-robed old woman beside her.
“Aubree, what’s wrong?” the girl in green turned and asked.
“It’s nothing!” The gray-robed old woman glanced at Harleen and Ivy again before returning to calmness.
About ten minutes later, the auction officially began.
“Welcome, friends from all walks of life, to participate in this auction!” A gray-robed old man appeared in the center of the stage.
After scanning the audience, he continued speaking. “The auction today will present ten treasures for bidding, which will surely not disappoint you…”
After saying a few more words, the old man entered the bidding process.
Usually, the items auctioned at the Medicine Hall are either elixirs or natural treasures.
The first item auctioned was a sovereign grade Elemental Pill.
Although this kind of elixir was no longer considered a treasure to Billy, it was very attractive to ordinary martial artists.
After several rounds of bidding, it was sold for ten top-grade spirit stones by a young nobleman.
“A sovereign grade Elemental Pill sold for ten top-grade spirit stones, do these people have too much money to spend?” Stout clicked his tongue.
“Scarcity increases value!” Ivy replied.
“In the Forbidden Ruins Space, there aren’t many sovereign grade alchemists, so sovereign grade elixirs naturally won’t be cheap!”
“After all, for martial artists below the Divine Realm, refining a sovereign grade Elemental Pill is enough to advance one cultivation level!”
“Alright!” Stout shrugged.
“This kind of junk is deliberately put up for auction, it’s embarrassing!” The girl in green muttered disdainfully.
Casey and the others twitched their mouths slightly.
Time passed quickly, and two hours had passed in the blink of an eye.
Eight out of ten items had been auctioned, although two or three of them were still acceptable, they still didn’t have much appeal to Billy and the others.
Not only them, but also the people from the Five Elements Sect didn’t make any moves.
If nothing unexpected happened, they should also be here specifically for the ‘Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit’.
“Friends, now we are auctioning the ninth item!” At this time, the gray-robed old man on the stage looked towards the audience and said loudly.
“However, please allow this old man to explain first, this ninth item is a bit special.”
“Therefore, it is neither an elixir nor a natural treasure!”
“What is it?” Someone curiously asked, “Aside from elixirs and natural treasures, does the Medicine Hall auction anything else?”
“That’s for sure!” The old man smiled and responded, “Anything that our hall considers to be a good treasure, we naturally dare not keep to ourselves!”
“Mr Ware, stop teasing us and show us what it is!” Another man shouted.
“Alright!” The gray-robed old man smiled and waved his hand towards the side door of the stage.
Soon, a staff member came up carrying a birdcage about a meter in length, width, and height.
Looking into the birdcage, one could see a bird lying inside, with most of its feathers golden, interspersed with a few small clumps of blue and green feathers.
What was most surprising was that this bird had several long tails, brightly colored.
Since the bird was lying on the ground, its overall appearance couldn’t be seen.
However, at first glance, it bore some resemblance to the legendary phoenix.
“Mr Ware, what kind of bird is this? I’ve never seen it before!” An old man looked towards the stage and asked.
Not only him, but no one in the audience could recognize what kind of bird it was, each one staring at the stage with curiosity.
“I’m sorry, even our hall doesn’t know exactly what kind of bird this is!” Mr Ware responded.
“This is a bird that our hall master happened to encounter when he went up the mountain to collect herbs a few days ago.”
“At that time, it was injured, and the hall master found it very unique, so he brought it back and helped it heal.”
“Mr Ware, you’ve deliberately put it up for auction. Aside from its unique appearance, it’s unique in some other aspects, right?” A black-robed elder asked.
As a regular customer of the Medicine Hall, he was very familiar with their style of doing things.
If it were just a uniquely appearing bird, the Medicine Hall would never deliberately put it up for auction, as it would tarnish their reputation.
“Exactly!” Mr Ware nodded with a smile.
“Speaking of which, friends may not believe it, but although it looks relatively small, it is indeed a Third Rank Divine Beast!”
Upon hearing this, there was a collective gasp from the audience.
“No way? This little bird is already a Third Rank Divine Beast? Are you kidding me?”
“It’s already a Third Rank Divine Beast at such a small size? What about when it grows up?”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It doesn’t look anything like a divine beast!”
The audience burst into discussion.
“You may not fully believe what I’m saying, because our hall master has sealed its power.” Mr Ware continued.
Then, he waved his hand, and a few strands of spiritual energy flowed into the bird from his fingers.
At the next moment, a powerful aura burst forth from the bird.
Of course, Mr Ware couldn’t unseal all of the bird’s power, otherwise, such a small birdcage wouldn’t be able to contain a Third Rank Divine Beast!
Immediately after, the bird let out a cry and stood up.
At the same time, it spread its wings and looked around at the audience.
Although it was small in size, there was a faint sense of disdain in its eyes as it scanned the audience.
“Wow, could this really be the legendary phoenix?” Seeing this, Stout couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Could there really be a phoenix in this world?”
