Beast Taming Patrol

But in front of Golden City, things were not so complicated. Not only was Golden City more robust, its walls alone could easily withstand Rule Creatures of the six-pattern level, but the city walls also had various types of attack Arrays, which only needed to be filled with sufficient quantities of Mixed Element Stones to release powerful energy, suppressing swaths of Rule Creatures. Therefore, the Blood Moon night could not pose a threat to Golden City, let alone make the prodigies within Golden City feel nervous. It only required the arrangement of a certain number of people to watch and control the attack Arrays, and everyone else could go about their nights as usual. In the central area of Holy Light City's trading zone, which was more than ten times larger than that of Silver City, stood a tower with azure tiles and flying rafters that caught everyone's attention. It was an auction house that only Golden City could possess. The auction was not the focus; the focus was that each auction house was occupied by disciples from top sects. They represented the face of the higher sects, and no one dared to insult them. The obscure blood light cast down from the Blood Moon could not compete with the bright lights illuminated within the tower, only to be eclipsed by the kaleidoscope of colors. At this moment, the doors of the tower were open, and various prodigies flocked in from all directions. Tonight, there would be an auction event. And at this auction event, disciples from the higher sects would preside. The people entering the auction house were partly there for the former reason, and partly there for the latter. "This auction house is really magnificent!" Standing in front of the lofty and exquisite tower, Lin Su could not help but exclaim in admiration. "Where is this bumpkin from?" A sneer came from the side, but upon a clear view of Lin Su's face, the speaker's expression changed drastically, and they hastily came forward to apologize. Lin Su rolled his eyes and, despite feeling aggrieved, accepted a compensation of ten thousand Mixed Element Stones for his emotional distress. This was just a minor incident; under the slightly odd gaze of Yan Susen and Lu Ziye, he coughed lightly, "Shall we go in?" "Let's go, I wonder if there will be anything suitable for us in this auction house, oh right…" Lu Ziye nodded slightly, then glanced at Lin Su and Yan Susen on the side, "Do you know the rules of the auction house?" "I don't," Yan Susen shook his head. Lin Su also shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was not aware either. "I knew you wouldn't know," Lu Ziye chuckled, "The rules of the auction here are different from the outside world. Each prodigy can offer up their own items for others to bid on. Not only can they collect Mixed Element Stones, but they can also trade items for items. Apart from that, one can also offer a price to seek particular items." One can offer a price to seek particular items? Lin Su became immediately interested. He was just in need of resources that could allow Qiuqiu and Ghost to absorb and improve, of the eighth level. Over at the Blue Planet, Lin Su had already had his eye on a dark-element eighth-level resource. It was an eighth-level Dark Crystal that had fallen from the Dark Qilin after its claw had been shattered by the combined efforts of the twelve Commanding Chiefs. It was perfectly suited for Ghost. Although it was just a fragment from the Dark Qilin's claw, the Dark Crystal, after all, came from the immortal-ranked Dark Qilin and contained dark-element Rule Power, suitable for dark-element pets to comprehend the rules, hence its value was much higher than ordinary eighth-level resources. Lin Su needed over a million more contribution points to exchange for it, so he decided to wait until after the Teaching Achievements Competition, to upload cooperative techniques in order to obtain a large number of contribution points for the exchange. Having already paid a reservation fee of one million contribution points, he did not have to worry about someone else taking the resource first. As for here in Shenwu. Lin Su currently possessed several million Mixed Element Stones, thus acquiring an eighth-level resource would not be a problem. However, such high-level resources were rare and hard to find. He had asked Yan Susen to inquire in the trading area for a long time, but nobody was willing to trade. Now, hearing what Lu Ziye had to say, his interest was piqued. With the auction house being so large, it was unlikely there were none offering eighth-level resources; as long as he could offer a good price, he would surely be able to acquire something. "Mew! (｡✪ω✪｡)" (One can offer a price for eighth-level resources!) Qiuqiu lay lazily on Lin Su's head, but upon hearing this, its eyes lit up with anticipation. While arrangements for its partner's eighth-level resource were in place, its own was far on the horizon. The stores of the Yanhuang Alliance had mostly depleted their ice and spirit series eighth-level resources, and what remained did not match too well. The contribution points needed for an exchange were similar, and Qiuqiu naturally wanted the better option, so after some hesitation, it decided to wait. Now that Lu Ziye mentioned this, Qiuqiu was excited. "Good, we can ask later if there are any eighth-level resources suitable for you," Lin Su said with a light chuckle, extending a hand to stroke Qiuqiu's head. In the midst of their conversation, the three of them had already entered the auction house. The receptionist from the Jinyang Alliance quickly recognized Lin Su and escorted the three to the front seats of the venue before leaving respectfully. The other empires' forces also entered the venue at this moment. Finally, Jin Yulong stepped into the venue and stood at the front. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to participate in this auction event," Jin Yulong said with a warm smile, but the faint display of power from a peak seventh-layer Nayuan Realm practitioner made no one dare to underestimate him, "Now that all the invited guests have arrived, let's not waste time with unnecessary talk." He cleared his throat and then looked up to a certain place on the second floor of the venue, his face beaming with a smile, "Huaiyu Senior Brother and Qi Sister, it's a trouble for the two of you to host today's auction event, I shall not overstep my bounds."
