Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

As the red cloth was lifted, the noisy auction hall suddenly became quiet for a moment. He stretched his neck forward and looked at the display stand.

Under the red cloth, there was a fine iron cage with a small beast like a kitten in it.

It was covered with white hair, mixed with green stripes. The stripes on its forehead formed a word "king". It looked around blankly with its childish eyes. Its small claws scratched the iron bars around it, but it couldn't shake it at all.

Looking at the appearance of this little tiger, Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised.

Storm tiger cub?

The storm tiger is an elite-level black soldier beast that controls the storm. When it moves, the wind moves with it. It has extremely strong combat power. Even if the opportunity is enough, it can even evolve into a wild storm tiger and become a leader!

The value of such a black soldier beast cub is extremely attractive to most people present, especially those from big families and big forces.

People in large families can buy it for the younger generation in the family who are about to awaken the contracted black pearl. In the future, if the black soldier master has enough talent, it is very likely to add a top-level combat force to the family.

Even if the black soldier master has already contracted the black soldier beast, he can subdue this storm tiger. It will be a great help when it grows up, and it can run like the wind and be very fast. It can be used as a mount.

After seeing this storm tiger cub, Jiang Cheng nodded with some satisfaction.

He didn't have any idea about this storm tiger cub, but the value of the first auction item of this auction was so high. Even if it was for warming up the scene, it meant that there must be some auction items with similar or higher values. Let's see if there is something suitable for him at that time.

......

Auctioneer Hailan stood on the auction stage, smiling and scanning the reactions of the crowd below the stage. Seeing that many people looked eager, she spoke:

"It seems that everyone has recognized this storm tiger cub. I don't need to say more about its specific value, right? It will be an elite-level combat force in the future, or even a commander-level combat force. Everyone should seize the opportunity."

"Storm tiger cub, the reserve price is 500 gold coins, and each bid must not be less than 10 gold coins." As she said this, the entire auction venue instantly became quiet. Many people looked at the cub on the stage with burning eyes. Many people didn't want to let it go, but they were not ready to bid at the first time.

For this situation, Hailan's expression did not change. She smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that everyone doesn't like this storm tiger cub. If no one bids within a quarter of an hour, we will take it away!"

Having said that, she was not worried that the storm tiger cub would fail to sell. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, someone couldn't hold back.

"510 gold coins!" A slightly awkward voice came from Jiang Cheng's right. He turned his head and saw a man wearing a wolf-shaped mask and gorgeous clothes raising his hand to bid.

Following this voice, bids rang out one after another.

"520 gold coins!"

"550."

......

"1000 gold coins." Suddenly, a crisp female voice rang out from a private room upstairs, and then her voice continued to be heard: "Our young master said that our Lin family is determined to get this storm tiger cub. I hope everyone will give me some face."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many people in the private room changed.

The Lin family is one of the two major families in Nanhai City, especially in terms of financial resources. Even the other major family, the city lord family, the Hai family, is not as financially capable as the Lin family. If the Lin family makes a move, they will definitely not be able to compete.

On the auction stage, Hailan saw this situation, her expression remained unchanged, still smiling, and said:

"1000 gold coins, is there anyone who can bid higher? This is a storm tiger cub, the future top elite combat power."

"1100." A slightly hoarse voice came from another private room upstairs.

"1200! Haiyun, you have already contracted the Xuanbing beast, why are you still competing with me?" An angry voice came from the Lin family's private room, no longer the previous female voice, but a young man's voice.

"Young master, I am happy, 1300."

The two people bid against each other, and many people in the audience did not have the financial resources to compete with them, so they whispered to each other.

Jiang Cheng listened on the side and understood the identities of the people in the two private rooms above.

One was Lin Liyuan, the second young master of the Lin family. It happened that he awakened the contracted Xuanzhu this year and was about to contract the Xuanbing beast. It was normal for him to want this storm tiger cub.

As for the other one, Haiyun, he is a young master from the Hai family's side branch. Because of his good talent and some personal connections, he was accepted as a disciple by the Hai family's elder, and his status is higher than most direct descendants.

The two families are in a hostile competitive relationship, and the children of the family are naturally opposed to each other.

The two competed until the price of the storm tiger cub was raised to 1,600 gold coins, and Haiyun stopped bidding.

But everyone knows that Haiyun probably didn't want to buy the storm tiger cub at the beginning, but just wanted to disgust Lin Liyuan, which can be seen from the sound of smashing things coming from Lin Liyuan's box above.

These have nothing to do with Jiang Cheng. The auction continues. The next few auction items are not as valuable as the storm tiger cub, but they are also very good. There are skills, martial arts, Yuanqi, elixirs, etc., but Jiang Cheng didn't encounter anything that made him too excited, so he didn't make a move.

"More than a dozen items have been auctioned off in a blink of an eye. Hailan's voice is a little hoarse. Fortunately, the auction is already halfway through. The next item to be auctioned is the last item of the first half, which is also the finale of the first half. Don't miss it."

Auctioneer Hailan said, and a servant came up to the stage with a jade plate. The jade plate was also covered with a red cloth.

When the jade plate was placed on the small table next to Hailan, she gently opened it, revealing a white jade slip, but the edge of the jade slip seemed to be broken.

Looking at the jade slip, Hailan sighed softly, and then said to the crowd: "I wonder if everyone has heard of the Sword Array Guest?"

"Are you talking about the Sword Array Guest who dominated the world seventy years ago? With his signature move, the Four Spirits Sword Array, he could fight against the sixth-level with the strength of a fifth-level Xuanbing Master and win the battle?"

A voice came from the audience, and Jiang Cheng turned his head again. It turned out to be the man wearing a wolf head mask.

Jiang Cheng immediately became suspicious.

Could this man be Haizhen Pavilion's agent?

Although there was such a suspicion, the scene had been aroused by the man's words just now. Countless people whispered and chatted about the information of the Sword Array Guest.

Jiang Cheng listened quietly on the side. After a while, he had a certain understanding of this so-called Sword Array Guest.

The Sword Array Guest was known as the master of both sword and array. He appeared in this area seventy years ago. Not only was his swordsmanship amazing, but he could also arrange a powerful fifth-level array. Countless people were defeated by him.

His famous skill was the Four Spirit Sword Array. He controlled four swords and formed an array with swords. It was extremely powerful and could be changed in thousands of ways. It was a top-level fifth-grade martial art and a fifth-level array.

Many people even believed that the Four Spirit Sword Array could be regarded as a sixth-grade martial art.

At the beginning, the Sword Array Guest used this sword array to fight against a sixth-level Xuanbing Master and won the battle, which caused a sensation in their area.

"Yes." Hai Lan smiled and nodded, then looked at the jade slip and said:

"And this jade slip records the famous skill of the Sword Formation Master, the Four Spirits Sword Formation!"

Wow!

As soon as these words fell, most of the people present stood up in shock, looking at the jade slip quietly placed on the jade plate with burning eyes.
