Chapter 114 Boss, give me three Tier 5 puppets!
Finally, we've arrived at the grand finale treasure.
"Alright, fellow Daoists, the appetizers are over. Now, let's get to the grand finale – the sixth-tier Flying Tiger Puppet!" Lan Yue'e said excitedly.
"My God! There really is a sixth-tier puppet!"
"I've heard that a sixth-tier puppet is comparable to the strength of an early-stage Core Formation cultivator. It's a pity I don't have enough spirit stones, otherwise I would definitely buy one. With my early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, I wouldn't be afraid even if I met a Core Formation cultivator!"
"I heard there was a sixth-tier puppet last time, but it sold for 50 spirit stones! I wonder how many spirit stones it will sell for this time!"
"As everyone knows, this sixth-tier flying tiger puppet not only possesses an incredibly sturdy defense, but it can also withstand most low-level spells and physical attacks," Lan Yue'e patiently explained.
"Its built-in advanced formations can greatly enhance its attack power and speed, making the puppet behave like a true Core Formation expert in battle."
"Whether facing a group of enemies or fighting a high-level cultivator one-on-one, he can handle it with ease."
"Starting bid: 20 spirit stones; minimum increment: 5000 spirit stones! Bidding begins!"
"21 spirit stones!" Someone shouted out their price right away.
"25 million spiritual stones!"
"I'll offer 30 spirit stones!"
As everyone kept raising the price, the price of the sixth-tier puppet quickly reached 45 spirit stones.
Ye Xiaobai had originally planned to raise the price later, but now that he felt it was hopeless, he could only tentatively shout out, "46 spirit stones!"
"50 spirit stones!" an imposing old man shouted out the price.
"51 spirit stones!" That's all Ye Xiaobai could offer. His storage bag was almost empty of spirit stones. He hadn't expected the sixth-tier puppet to be so expensive this time.
"55 spirit stones!" the old man called out again.
In an instant, the previously noisy and bustling scene became completely silent, as if time itself had frozen.
The crowd looked at each other, clearly shocked by the price, and no one dared to bid again.
Ye Xiaobai was secretly anxious. He had long coveted that sixth-order puppet, but unfortunately he was short of money and could not afford to spend more spirit stones to compete for it.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of loss as he watched his beloved possession slip away.
Meanwhile, Lan Yue'e noticed that there had been no movement on the field for a long time, and knew that everyone probably had some concerns.
So she cleared her throat and spoke again, "Fellow Daoists, this sixth-order puppet is incredibly powerful, its combat strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation!"
"Such a rare treasure, if we miss it, we may never have another chance."
"This is a golden opportunity! Is there really no one willing to raise the price?" Her voice was clear and melodious, with an irresistible charm.
However, despite this, the audience remained silent.
After confirming several times, no one raised the price, and the old man finally bought the sixth-order flying tiger puppet for 55 spirit stones.
Upon hearing the final price, Ye Xiaobai immediately regretted spending 150,000 to buy a fifth-tier puppet. If he had known to save his spirit stones, he might have been able to buy this sixth-tier puppet instead.
Once it's missed, it's gone. Ye Xiaobai had no choice but to leave the auction house.
Thinking that he still had 50 spirit stones on him, and that there was no point in keeping them, Ye Xiaobai decided to spend them.
Before long, Ye Xiaobai arrived at Qianji Store.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, you're here again. What kind of mechanical puppet do you want this time?" the owner of the Thousand Machine Shop asked with a smile.
"Boss, give me three fifth-tier puppets!" Ye Xiaobai shouted.
"What? Three fifth-tier puppets?" The shopkeeper couldn't believe his ears. A fifth-tier puppet costs tens of thousands of yuan, and he just wanted three.
"These are spirit stones!" Ye Xiaobai took out a storage bag and threw it in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was shocked when he checked the storage bag. As expected, the owner was wealthy. He quickly took out three puppets and let Ye Xiaobai choose one.
The shop owner enthusiastically introduced the three puppets to Ye Xiaobai, saying, "These three puppets are the best in my shop, each with its own unique features. You can take a closer look and then choose one according to your preferences and needs."
After speaking, the boss stepped aside, smiling as he awaited Ye Xiaobai's decision.
After carefully checking, Ye Xiaobai finally spent 42 spirit stones to buy two werewolf puppets and one shield puppet. Combined with the werewolf puppet he already had, Ye Xiaobai felt that this would be more than enough to deal with a Core Formation stage cultivator.
After everything was settled, Ye Xiaobai set off to return to his sect.
After buying four fifth-tier puppets, Ye Xiaobai immediately felt much safer. He couldn't help but hum a little tune while flying on his sword, and the sound of the wind rushing past his ears was like beautiful music.
Once you pass Dragon Head Mountain, you'll soon be in the territory of the White Tiger Sect.
Just as Ye Xiaobai began to fly over Dragon Head Mountain, a desperate cry for help suddenly came from below: "Fellow Daoist, please help me! I am Cao Yufei, an inner disciple of the Yellow Dragon Sect!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a ragged boy covered in blood standing at the foot of the mountain, shouting in terror toward Ye Xiaobai.
The boy named Cao Yufei looked young, but he was already seriously injured. His clothes were torn to shreds, and his once fair skin was covered in wounds, with blood constantly seeping out, staining the surrounding ground red.
At this moment, Cao Yufei looked haggard, his eyes revealing despair and helplessness. He seemed to have gone through a fierce battle, his body already exhausted, but he still mustered his last bit of strength to beg Ye Xiaobai for help.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy. However, Ye Xiaobai did not respond immediately, but instead fell into deep thought.
What if it's a trap? Ye Xiaobai was also worried about unexpected events while traveling.
However, after confirming several times that the smell of blood on Cao Yufei's clothes was mixed with the smell of a demonic beast, Ye Xiaobai guessed that Cao Yufei must have been seriously injured after fighting a demonic beast.
After Ye Xiaobai disembarked from his flying sword, he came to Cao Yufei's vicinity, tossed him several bottles of healing pills, and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Cao, these are some healing pills. What's the story behind this?"
Cao Yufei took the healing pills and swallowed them without hesitation. He then said, "I originally wanted to find some spiritual herbs in the nearby Dragon Head Mountain, but I didn't expect to encounter a fifth-tier Wind Chaser Wolf. It took a lot of spiritual talismans and artifacts to defeat it."
"Did they really repel them?" Ye Xiaobai frowned, asking with a look of suspicion.
He thought to himself: How is this possible? The Wind Chaser Wolf has an extremely keen sense of smell. Once it smells the blood of the wounded, it will follow them like a shadow and relentlessly pursue them.
Cao Yufei was already seriously injured at this moment, so how could he easily get rid of its pursuit by running alone?
"Perhaps...maybe...it should be..." Cao Yufei replied weakly, panting heavily.
It was as if speaking each word required a tremendous amount of energy.
He continued, "The situation was urgent, and I couldn't think of anything else. I just ran forward as fast as I could. I only stopped when I felt I couldn't take another step. Anyway, I really used all my strength to run away..."
Seeing Cao Yufei's exhausted appearance and numerous injuries, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a sense of worry and doubt. However, since things had come to this point, further questioning seemed pointless.
Just then, Ye Xiaobai smelled a familiar scent—the Wind Chaser Wolf was coming!
