After parting ways with Flander and the others, they quickly found a suitable soul beast for their granddaughter and then arrived in Soto City.
Long Gong Meng Shu nodded, his voice trembling slightly.
"This egg carries some dragon blood, which is quite fitting for our family's name."
"If we can buy it and nurture it with care, our Peerless Dragon-Snake Clan might truly gain another powerful guardian."
Chaotianxiang continued.
"Many of the spiritual herbs that our family grows are suitable for feeding these kinds of soul beasts, so we don't have to worry about resources and can afford to put in the effort and time."
On the high platform, seeing that the atmosphere had been set up enough, DouDou suddenly changed the subject.
"but……"
There was a hint of regret in her voice.
"This Earthfire Rock Dragon egg also has some problems."
"According to the seller, the egg had long exceeded its incubation period but failed to hatch."
"It seems... that the vitality is somewhat lacking."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
"What? Insufficient vitality?"
"Isn't that just a dead egg?"
"I say, your Qibao Auction House is really unethical, putting such a defective egg up for auction?"
"So after all that, it's an egg that can't hatch?"
"The eggs are in such a state, what's the point of buying them? To make fried rice? They're so big, they could feed us for many meals!"
Immediately, boos erupted from the crowd, and many people showed disappointment and dissatisfaction on their faces.
DouDou quickly explained, "Please rest assured, esteemed guests, the seller's explanation was very detailed, and we have also conducted a special examination. Although this egg lacks vitality, it is not a dead egg!"
"If you don't believe me, you can come up and experience it for yourselves!"
"It can only be said that this egg will be much more difficult to hatch than a normal egg, and it will require more time and more rare and precious materials to nurture it. Perhaps there are some special methods that can speed up this process!"
She paused, then her clear voice rang out again.
"The starting bid for this Earthfire Rock Dragon egg is 10,000 Gold Soul Coins!"
"Each bid increase must be at least one hundred gold soul coins!"
"The auction now begins!"
As DouDou finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the room.
The starting bid of 10,000 gold soul coins isn't considered high.
However, this is an egg with little potential for growth and an uncertain future for hatching.
After a moment, someone tentatively raised their number.
"Ten thousand one hundred gold soul coins!"
Then, someone else raised the price, their voice slightly hoarse.
"Ten thousand five hundred gold soul coins!"
Another voice followed closely behind.
"That voice sounds so familiar!"
"I remember now, that's a member of the Power Clan, right? Their clan leader is said to have a fiery temper and loves these kinds of power-type soul beasts. But whether this egg can hatch is still uncertain."
"They bought it back, are they planning to hatch it and use it for their civil engineering projects?"
"You know what, the name of this soul beast sounds like it's good at making bricks and tiles."
Some people recognized the bidder and whispered among themselves.
"Eleven thousand gold soul coins!"
Another deep voice rang out.
"Those people in the private room next door, do they look like they're from the Xingru Chamber of Commerce? Aren't they in the business of spirit herbs? Are they also interested in these kinds of spirit beasts?"
The bidding was rather lukewarm, with only small increases in price, indicating that all parties were still observing and testing the waters.
In a private room on the third floor, Xiao Wu looked at the slow, hesitant price increases below and pouted impatiently.
"What's going on? Only added this little bit?"
"If you don't have money, don't come to buy it, really."
She swung her long, slender legs, showing disdain for the petty nature of these people.
