Chapter 846 Bronze Ware
As they spoke, a colossal object appeared on the stage.
Wrapped in velvet, its true form was obscured, only its immense size could be discerned.
Rong Yuqing, with a smile, pulled away the velvet, revealing a massive iron cage.
Within the cage was a ferocious beast, resembling both a cat and a tiger!
"This is a Tiger-Cat Beast that has reached the Grandmaster realm, possessing an extremely special bloodline. There's a very high chance it can advance to the peak Grandmaster stage!"
"Moreover, the Tiger-Cat Beast is exceptionally docile. It will recognize its master after a period of nourishment with one's essence blood."
As Rong Yuqing spoke, the Tiger-Cat Beast in the cage suddenly opened its eyes.
A strange sound, like rumbling thunder, erupted from its throat. Some martial artists in the audience, who had just reached the Grandmaster realm, trembled upon hearing it.
However, the sound only lasted for two to three seconds.
The Tiger-Cat Beast rose, paced within the cage, let out a few meows, and then lay down again, closing its eyes.
"Starting bid, one hundred spirit stones."
Chen Yang's spiritual sense swept over the Tiger-Cat Beast, immediately sensing its powerful life aura.
It was indeed a demon beast with great potential. But then he remembered he already had three demon beasts on the verge of breaking through to the peak Grandmaster stage, and immediately dismissed the idea.
The Tiger-Cat Beast was eventually auctioned off for nearly three hundred spirit stones, a price that surprised no one, least of all Chen Yang.
The realms of demon beasts could not be compared to those of ordinary martial artists.
Although the Tiger-Cat Beast before them was only at the Grandmaster realm, in a life-or-death struggle, it could momentarily hold back a peak Grandmaster.
When the third item was brought out, Chen Yang could no longer suppress his excitement and stood up from the sofa. Fortunately, no one outside noticed what was happening in the room.
Rong Yuqing slowly said on stage, "This is a bronze vessel that has been passed down for over a thousand years. Unfortunately, our Treasure Pavilion has not been able to ascertain its origin."
"However, the Treasure Pavilion can confirm that this bronze vessel cannot be damaged even by the combined attacks of several peak Grandmasters."
"This item also starts at one hundred spirit stones."
As soon as the words fell, the audience erupted.
The starting price of one hundred spirit stones for the first two items was within everyone's expectations, given their quality.
One offered the potential for martial artists to reach the peak Grandmaster realm, or even surpass it.
As for the Tiger-Cat Beast, its inherent strength was already comparable to that of a peak Grandmaster. If it hadn't required a large amount of essence blood, its price would likely have been several times higher.
But the sudden appearance of this bronze vessel, also starting at one hundred spirit stones, truly surpassed everyone's imagination.
Chen Yang, though anxious, suppressed his excitement.
He did not bid immediately. After a pause, seeing that no one else was speaking, he finally said, "One hundred spirit stones is a bit too expensive. I'll offer fifty."
"After all, it's sufficient to block peak Grandmasters."
Chen Yang didn't want to reveal his inner urgency, but this bronze vessel was a must-have!
It was made of the same material as the bronze tree and the bronze cauldron!
Rong Yuqing, hearing this offer, almost cursed aloud.
While the Treasure Pavilion hadn't spent much to acquire the bronze vessel, it came from a mysterious place where everything was a treasure!
Otherwise, the Treasure Pavilion wouldn't have set such a price.
Rong Yuqing wished to win over Chen Yang, but not by this means.
The Treasure Pavilion's auctions were business, not personal favors.
Rong Yuqing then sent a telepathic message to someone in the audience.
The recipient showed a bitter expression, steadied himself, and then announced loudly, "Brother, you may be mistaken. This item is not soft armor. Even the combined attack of peak Grandmasters could not damage it, which shows its power. I bid one hundred spirit stones."
Chen Yang frowned. Just as he was about to raise his bid, he received a telepathic message from Rong Yuqing.
"If you truly want this item, you can discuss it later."
Rong Yuqing was worried that Chen Yang would stop bidding, and that the bronze vessel might end up unsold. Thus, she decided to arrange a private discussion after the auction.
Upon receiving the message, Chen Yang's lips twitched. He hadn't expected the person who just spoke to be a plant.
When the auction ended, Chen Yang did not leave his private room in a hurry, but waited for Rong Yuqing.
About half an hour later, Rong Yuqing returned to the room with the items Chen Yang had purchased.
Rong Yuqing smiled and said, "Here are your items."
Chen Yang first carefully inspected the items he had bought, ensuring they were correct. He then said, "Besides these, wasn't there also that bronze vessel? Let me be clear, I am only willing to offer fifty spirit stones."
Although the Heavenly Physician Hall had accumulated some spirit stones over the years, spirit stones were not like money; money could be earned.
If spirit stones ran out, it would be difficult to find more.
Even if one wanted to buy them, one would have to find someone to help search.
Rong Yuqing looked at Chen Yang with a mischievous smile and asked, "You know the origin of that bronze vessel?"
Chen Yang's brows furrowed immediately upon hearing the question.
"My original intention was to use it to secure my residence. If you're unwilling to sell, then forget it. I won't force it."
With that, Chen Yang put the items he had purchased into his Tree Tomb necklace.
Seeing this, Rong Yuqing was greatly astonished.
Rong Yuqing had witnessed Chen Yang's incredible technique before.
However, this technique required a very peculiar item!
A peak Grandmaster's strength was absolutely incapable of performing such a feat. Only treasures passed down from ancient martial arts could possess such power.
This Chen Yang was indeed an ancient martial artist.
Chen Yang naturally noticed the shock on Rong Yuqing's face, but he said nothing. He did this deliberately to make her overthink.
Chen Yang said nonchalantly, "Give me your Treasure Pavilion's bank account, and I'll have someone transfer the money."
Faced with such an eager Chen Yang, Rong Yuqing chuckled dryly. "Chen Yang, don't be so hasty! That bronze vessel isn't impossible to sell to you, but there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Rong Yuqing sought out Chen Yang not just to sell the bronze vessel, but because she had another, very important matter to discuss with him.
Chen Yang would not give up on the bronze vessel. Hearing Rong Yuqing's words, he simply sat back down on the sofa.
