Mike was shocked by the owner’s asking price. He asked, “Boss, you really dare to ask? Your price is probably enough to cover a forest of exotic fruits.”

The owner smiled and said, “You must be joking. I have a daughter to raise. I still have to prepare a dowry for her.”

“Then you can’t catch a sheep like me to pull its wool. I can only offer this amount. I absolutely can’t offer any more.”

Mike slowly stretched out a finger.

“That’s too little. You can add more.”

Mike snorted, pulled Demoness, and was about to leave.

The shop owner quickly stopped Mike and said, “Okay, okay, you can take it.”

“Alexander, you can’t give it to him!” The little girl shouted from the side, “That is not enough to buy medicine.”

The little girl conjured two water bombs and shot them at Mike.

Mike thought about it and the water bomb stopped in the middle of the air. He vaporized the water bomb. The shopkeeper was afraid that Mike would harm the little girl, so he quickly jumped to the middle and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Look, I’m really sorry.”

He said to the shopkeeper. “You saw it too. Shouldn’t you give me some compensation?”

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically. “Of course, of course.”

Demoness tugged on Mike’s sleeve, signaling him to stop. Mike pretended not to see it. He waved his hand, and the item that Eve had instructed and the dozen bottles and jars were in his hands.

The two of them left under the shopkeeper’s apologetic laughter and the little girl’s murderous gaze.

Demoness looked at Mike, who was holding a bunch of bottles and cans, and said, “You’re really a little strange.”

Mike did not continue the conversation. He handed the box of strange fruits to Demoness and said, “I remember that your fourth summoning beast is wood-attributed, right? If you give this to it to eat, it can greatly reduce its growth speed.”

Demoness was stunned and asked, “You bought this for me?”

Mike said, “I just bought it casually. What I want to buy is not this thing, but I don’t want to be taken advantage of by others, so I can only use this method.”

Demoness nodded. The little bit of emotion that had just welled up from the bottom of her heart instantly vanished into thin air.

The two strolled for a while more before arriving in front of an unusual stall.

This stall was the size of more than a dozen other stalls. Besides the small platform in front of them, the rest of the stalls were covered by black suspended rocks that could block divine power and spiritual power detection.

Mike and Demoness looked at each other, then tacitly moved to the front of the stall and listened to the stall owner’s speech. The stall owner looked very young, but his words were very provocative.

The stall owner took out a square jade seal and said, “Today’s fifteenth auction item! I dare to assure everyone that no matter how much the price rises today, it will not be surprising for this jade seal. Alright, let’s not talk too much. Let’s get back to the main topic. This seal is not only a heaven-grade weapon, but also the key to opening the Holy Dragon Tomb. To be honest, we have also tried to explore the tomb, but we did not expect the tomb to be exceptionally dangerous. Not only are there dozens of heaven-tier magical beasts guarding the tomb, but there are also many traps and formations.”

“After we lost seven or eight heaven-tier experts, we had no choice but to retreat. Everyone, please consider your strength before making a bid. I have no intention of looking down on you, I just don’t want to see you guys buying this treasure into a disaster.”

“As for my friends who are strong enough, I would like to urge you to think about what kind of treasure it is to be able to use dozens of heaven-grade magic beasts and so many traps and formations to guard this place.”

Hearing this, everyone frowned slightly, as if they were weighing the pros and cons.

The stall owner did not wait for them to think clearly. He understood that only at this moment could this item be sold for the highest price.

“The starting price is ten heaven-grade Magic Beast Essence Crystals or other items of equal value. Each increase in price can not be less than one heaven-grade Magic Beast Essence Crystals or other items of equal value.”

Once these words were said, no one was in a hurry to make a bid.

A moment later, the stall owner looked in a direction, and immediately, a bid was heard from that direction.

“Eleven.”

Mike laughed lightly. He felt that this method was too low-grade.

Not everyone thought like Mike. After all, the allure of the Holy Dragon’s treasure was there. How many people could completely ignore it?

Everyone immediately began to compete fiercely. Mike could not help but shake his head.

“12!”

“15!”

“18!”

...

“30!”

Mike was secretly surprised at how crazy these people were. 30 heaven-grade Magic Beast Essence Crystals, and that person just named such a price so casually.

For a moment, there was no one bidding. They just stared blankly at the person who shouted out the price.

“It’s him? If it’s him, that party of Unity Ice Cubes is really nothing.” Demoness looked at the person who shouted out the price with an extremely surprised expression.

“You know him?”

Demoness nodded and said, “This person is the son of the person in power. He also studied in the Dark Church.”

Mike nodded. He was not interested in this person, so he did not continue to ask.

After bidding, no one raised the price anymore.

Seeing this, the stall owner immediately announced that this item belonged to him.

This result was in line with most people’s expectations. After all, for a treasure of unknown value, thirty heaven-grade Magic Beast Essence Crystals was already a very high bid. If it was a little higher, that would be a little abnormal.

Immediately after, the next item was auctioned. It was a heaven-grade battle armor. Although it was not a set, it was still auctioned off at the sky-high price of 52 Heaven-grade Magic Beast Essence Crystals.

When Mike saw this result, he could not help but be secretly speechless.

Four or five items had been auctioned off in a row, and each of them was worth no less than 15 heaven-grade Magic Beast Essence Crystals. Mike was a little surprised. How did so many heaven-grade Magic Beast Essence Crystals come about?

According to this method of killing, then the high-level heaven-grade magic beasts would be completely exterminated, right?

Just as Mike was thinking about this question, the next item caught his attention.

It was a black egg, the size of Mike’s fist. Mike could clearly feel that there were wisps of divine power lingering around the egg.

Mike was instantly energized. This egg was actually shrouded in divine power. One had to know that even an orthodox divine beast like Eve used divine power when she first came to summon high-level magic beasts. He did not know the origin of this egg. It could actually use divine power directly.

Mike asked Eve, but she said, “I’m not too sure either, but since this egg can activate such thick and mellow divine power, it must not be some weak magical beast.”

Mike nodded and said, “I got it.”

He looked up and found that the stall owner had already begun to introduce the egg.
