Chapter 132 Auction of Golden Tiger

"This is a wild golden tiger we just captured, a thousand years old," the waiter introduced. "Please look, everyone! Its fur is golden and shiny, and its body is full of spiritual energy. Its cultivation level is between the fourth and fifth levels."

"To prevent it from escaping, we have sealed its internal cultivation, so it has been in a state of sleep. However, it will wake up on its own in three days, so please rest assured."

The so-called golden tiger is actually an orange cat.

The names given to cats by the ancients were very elegant. The white cat was called "Chi Yu Xiao Fei Lian", the black one was called "Wu Yun Mao", and the one with a black body and white claws was called "Ta Xue Xun Mei"... In short, there are only things you can't think of that can't be named elegantly by these literati.

This orange cat may have had better food, as it is a bit fatter than other orange cats. It lies in the cage like a lump of flesh, looking silly and defenseless.

But a well-trained orange cat is worthy of the title of "golden tiger", and ordinary tigers are no match for it.

The guy signaled everyone to come closer to watch, and a large group of people immediately gathered at the booth. They felt the vigorous spiritual power emanating from the orange cat up close, and marveled at it.

"This cat really has a cultivation level above the fourth level. How rare!"

"That's right. They say old monsters emerge from deep mountains, and great monsters emerge from long-lived beasts. I never thought a cat monster could be so powerful!"

"It would be so cool if I could have it as my spiritual pet!"

Cats are different from other animals in the mountains. They are more human-like, easier to tame, have less resistance to humans, and appear more innocent and harmless.

Spiritual pets are rare, and most of the spiritual pets raised by current fortune tellers are snakes and spiders.

Snakes and spiders are immune to all kinds of poisons and are inherently very aggressive. They usually have no skills when they are captured, and are only blasted out later with elixirs.

These spiritual pets are difficult to tame even if they are raised from childhood. They will escape at the first opportunity and even attack their owners, so they have to be kept in cages wherever they go.

Cats are different. Even if they have some skills, they will almost never attack other humans unless for self-protection or at the order of their owners. Therefore, they can roam freely or even be carried around. They are also more loyal to their owners.

Also, due to the physical constitution of cats, they are unable to absorb so many elixirs, so there have almost never been any cat demons that have been cultivated after birth in the world. Wild cat demons are also extremely rare, not to mention those at the fourth level.

Therefore, the value of this orange cat monster is immeasurable.

Seeing the scene once again bustling with activity, the attendant kindly offered a reminder, "Fellow fortune tellers, our auction house advises that if you don't have a cultivation level of Rank Five or above, it's best not to waste your money. If you buy a monster and can't control it, and it escapes, we won't be responsible."

As soon as this reality was revealed, the heated discussions at the scene died down instantly.

This cat has a cultivation level of level four to level five, and a fortune teller must be at least level five to be able to control it. In other words, level five is still difficult, and level six is ​​more stable.

If you spend a lot of money to buy it and it runs away within a few days, you will have no place to cry.

But it is extremely difficult for a physiognomist to cultivate to the fifth level or above. Diligence is not enough, and extremely high talent is also required. There are probably not many people here who are qualified to raise this orange cat.

"Time's up, everyone please return to the stage," the waiter announced. "The auction of the golden tiger begins now. As usual, the starting bid is one hundred taels of silver!"

"I'll give you two hundred!"

"Four hundred!"

"Eight hundred taels."

…

Even though the waiter had kindly reminded them, there were still many people whose cultivation level was less than level five who made enthusiastic bids.

I don’t know if he was confident that he could raise the monster, or if he was bidding for the person behind him, or if he was just raising the price for fun... In short, the price soared to more than a thousand taels in a short time.

Xu Chuchu's heart almost jumped out of her throat as she listened to the soaring prices.

Unable to bear it any longer, she grabbed Xiao Yu's arm and said with difficulty, "I don't have any money right now. Can you help me take a picture of this cat? I'll consider it a loan from you, and I'll definitely find a way to pay you back later! Okay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Yu said immediately, "What do you want? Would I buy it for you?"

Not to mention not buying it, when he heard Xu Chuchu asking him for something, he was ecstatic inside, okay?

He had noticed her interest in the auction a long time ago, and decided before coming to buy at least one good item for her. However, she didn't want this or that, which made Xiao Yu feel helpless for a while.

He originally wanted to ask her if she wanted the cat, but when he heard the host say that cats below level five could not be kept, he didn't dare to ask, for fear that Xu Chuchu would think he was rich and stupid.

Now that I finally heard what she wanted, I was so happy. I finally had a place to spend my money.

As for how to raise the cat after buying it, he doesn't worry about it. Since Xu Chuchu said she would buy it, there must be a reason for her to do so.

"Five thousand taels." Xiao Yu spoke calmly, instantly shocking the whole audience, and everyone was stretching their heads to look for the big man who made the bid.

Xu Chuchu almost vomited blood.

You know, before he made his bid, the price had only reached 2,600 taels. And now... it's doubled?!

Several people who sincerely wanted to buy the goods were unhappy. During the auction, the most annoying thing is people who raise the price by a huge margin, but you can't say anything because they are rich.

The guys at the auction house were all smiling. What they liked most was this kind of big boss who didn't care about small amounts of money and spent money lavishly.

"A boss has offered a high price of five thousand taels!" he shouted, "Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?"

"Five thousand and fifty!" someone shouted, causing laughter from all around.

However, such a price increase is understandable. In the past, some people liked to bid the highest price they could afford at auctions. If they could get it, they would get it. If they couldn't get it, they would not bid again.

This person probably bet that Xiao Yu had this habit, so he gritted his teeth and added another fifty.

"Five thousand one."

"Five thousand one hundred and five!"

Orange cats are precious, and many people are reluctant to give them up, struggling to add to their numbers bit by bit.

“…Six thousand taels!”

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and increased the price from 5,250 to 6,000.

Several people fell silent, and everyone looked in Xiao Yu's direction.

"Eight thousand." Xiao Yu's voice came from under the hood, causing everyone to gasp in surprise again.

"Eight thousand taels!—" the waiter shouted excitedly, "Eight thousand taels, is there anyone who can offer a higher price? Eight thousand taels at a time!"

This time there was complete silence.

Xu Chuchu felt dizzy. On the one hand, she was happy to have snatched the cat, but on the other hand, she was also confused... Eight thousand taels, how long would it take her to pay it back?

The waiter yelled again: "Eight thousand taels for the second time!"

"Eight thousand taels, third..."

Why did Xiao Yu bid so generously? Did the person who invited them to the auction today really want to do something to them?

She thought they just knew Xiao Yu was rich and asked him to come and do some shopping, right?!

"One thousand taels." A soft voice rang out from the audience, "Oh, sorry, I meant, one thousand taels of gold."
