Chapter 214: Opportunities
It stung to watch the Bone Mantis get sold off to someone else, but it was just too expensive for the use Sage could get out of it. He leaned over to refill his grapeflower wine, watching as Jin Shih started bidding on something. As hed thought it was another little fluffy animal that Cui Shufen thought looked cute. Jin Shih got into a frantic bidding war with an old man in the Leaf seats.
My granddaughter HAS to have this Pink Mallow Marmot!
Jin Shih didnt say anything, but he had a little sneer on his lips and entered an even higher number. The bid was already up to a half million, ten times the starting number. At this point, Sage was glad that at least Jin Shih wasnt openly hostile with him. He was willing to pay so much for a useless pet just to try and get Cui Shufens favor, the both of these Personal Disciples must be terribly wealthy. A few minutes later, Jin Shih finally won the pink gopher that looked like it was made out of cotton candy. Sage gave his congratulations while Cui Shufen was still staring at the Mallow Marmot with adoration.
The auction flew by after that. No longer at odds with VIP booth eight, Sage could focus on the items up for auction. There were a few that caught his eye and he bid conservatively, winning a pair Demonic Beasts: a Blade-tailed Viper, and a mating pair of Devil Bearded Catfish. He kept his spending low and still had over 900,000 after the two purchases. At least until he saw something he couldnt pass up and got into a bidding war with an Alchemist down in the leaf seats who was yelling, Two hundred thousand!
Sage didnt have to raise his voice, just using the controls in the booth to up the bid to 250,000. The Alchemist didnt give up, but Sage was not going to stop. He just kept on pushing the price higher until the Alchemist finally gave up. Now, with 291,000 less Spirit Stones to spend, Sage hoped he hadnt wasted too much on his win: the Spirit Animal Fire Bellied Cobra. It certainly didnt sound like much, especially since it was only a Spirit Animal and not a Demonic Beast. It was actually prized for a single special ability it had.
The Fire Bellied Cobra had mottled brown and black scales everywhere except its belly which was a bright fire red. When it rose up and expanded its hood, it made for quite the terrifying visual. Just an intimidating look wouldnt mean anything, for its main ability is what made it so prized. The Fire Bellied Cobra could consume any type of poison without harm. It didnt have a venom sac like most other poisonous creatures, instead it had a second set of meridians that carried a special poison Qi. When it consumed poisons, they got mixed into these meridians and the poison Qi it carried transformed. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
The image, which was just a bunch of glowing symbols, suddenly resolved into what seemed to be a feed from somewhere else. Unlike Sages movie projector, this Magic Mirror could project more than just light and sound. The image panned over a huge cavern the size of a sports arena till it revealed an immense monster. It looked like an eagle the size of an apartment complex with a serrated metallic beak. Its feathers looked like the fins of a radiator or computer heat sink. Those were just the superficial details. The real showstopper was the neon green light bleeding out of it. Its bones were glowing so very brightly they were visible through its organs, flesh, skin, and feathers. If the terrifying might of its aura wasnt washing over the whole auction house, it would have looked like something cooked up for an unusual haunted house.
As you can see the Spectral Terror Roc is a true powerhouse. The corrupting energy it releases is so powerful that Cultivators who havent reached the Sea Forming stage will be corrupted in just a few seconds if they approach closer than a mile away. Only those who have formed their Core can get close enough to ride it without suffering corruption.
Sage could only marvel as even he would be corrupted by that monster. While he hasnt personally encountered it, from what hed read in books, corruption was quite similar to radioactive mutations as they were depicted in comic books. It could cause spontaneous mutation, mind alteration, the combination of two different creatures into one, or even all the terrible effects of regular radiation. Cancer, tumors, growths, liquified organs, hair loss, and plenty of other terrible ways to die. Overall, corruption seemed pretty terrifying and chaotic.
The bidding soon started and Sage was once again amazed by how wealthy the VIPs were. Eventually, the Spectral Terror Roc sold for 54 million Spirit Stones and Sage wondered just what a monster like that would be used for. Surely, these people were responsible enough to not use it as a terror weapon, right?
After the first of the terrifying beasts, one might think others would not be as impressive or terrifying, but they would be wrong. Each and every one of the beasts that followed would have given the Earthling Sage nightmares. Mostly because of their auras. They radiated a sense of terror. Somehow their auras didnt just convey how powerful they were, but also suggested the many ways such a monster could kill him. It was like they were making him imagine hundreds of different of deadly scenarios at the same time, each and every one showing how helpless he was.
Well, at least I got to see how terrifying things over level 60 are I should be happy about this, and not terrified, right?
