Chapter 1091

Starbucks appeared especially brilliant as he stood on the stage. There was a gigantic red cloth next to him, and it shrouded the auction items in an air of mystery.

Balck sat close to the auction stage, and a cold and prohibiting aura radiated from his body.

Eliza from the Red Snow Sect and Simpson from the Heavenly Scorpion Sect both sat in the first row with their underlings. The supreme beings of some first-rate sects didn’t attend, and they instead sent some underlings to represent them. These representatives sat slightly behind the first row.

After that was the second-tier seats, third-tier seats, fourth-tier seats…

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan mingled with the members of the ordinary Blood Tribe sects in the standing area. They silently watched on.

“The most important event of the Blood Tasting Festival has finally arrived! Next, let us reveal the first item for auction—the Myriad Ghost Den’s Abyss Lightning Bat!” Starbucks pulled the gigantic red cloth away.

A bat that measured thirty feet in length appeared before their eyes. Stripes of blue lightning patterns covered its pitch-black body.

Numerous strange-looking silver tubes were pierced into its body, and dark red blood slowly flowed through them. The blood gathered together and eventually dripped onto a glass instrument.

As if it was moaning in agony, the bat’s body trembled slightly.

An Lin frowned. This bat was still alive!

Starbucks caressed the bat’s face as he spoke fervently, “This Abyss Lightning Bat is of the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage. In order to maintain the life force of its blood, we’ve sealed it in a severely wounded yet alive state.

“When its blood first enters your mouth, it causes an explosive sensation. Then, the taste will gradually become smooth and refreshing. Moreover, the life essence contained within the blood is A-grade!

“There’s one tonne of blood stored in the bat’s body. The starting price is one hundred thousand spirit stones! Before starting the auction, I’ll give everyone a small sample first.”

Starbucks waved his hand, and countless drops of blood flew into the prepared wine glasses. Everyone was given a sample.

Blood Tasting Festival… So this was referring to the blood sampling during the auction?

An Lin fell deep into thought as he gazed at the viscous, dark red blood in the wine glass before him.

Meanwhile, euphoric moans and sincere praises had already started to sound all around him.

Soon after, the auction for the bat began.

In the end, the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage Abyss Lightning Bat was purchased by a Soul Formation Final Stage sect leader for one hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones.

As for the Red Snow Sect and the Heavenly Scorpion Sect, they didn’t even participate in the bidding process. It was evident that they weren’t really interested in this kind of blood.

The following few auction items were all similarly ranked mutant beasts.

After a while, a naked and injury-riddled creature appeared on the stage. It was tied to a wooden stand, and there was a pair of black wings folded behind its back.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were both stunned.

The Blood Tribe is so courageous… They genuinely dare to auction everything that they can get their hands on…

It appeared as though the auction had reached its climax.

Starbucks was radiant with delight. “As everyone can see, this is a Soul Formation Final Stage Dark Wing Tribe cultivator! If one is to ask what kind of intelligent creature is hardest to capture, then the answer isn’t the powerful and unyielding Light Wing Clan cultivators, nor is it the mysterious Vermilion Bird Tribe cultivators. Rather, it’s the cowardly Dark Wing Tribe cultivators!

“I believe that everyone’s interested in this Dark Wing Tribe cultivator’s blood, am I right? Its blood isn’t pure and sweet like that of Light Wing Clan cultivators. Quite the contrary. Its taste is a rich and profound flavor! I believe that you’ll all enjoy its blood after sampling it!”

Starbucks waved his hand, and drops of blood landed in the Blood Tribe cultivators’ wine glasses.

The sample size was extremely small; there was only one drop of blood each.

After all, cultivators from the Dark Wing Tribe had similar physiques to humans. Their bodies didn’t contain all that much blood.

After drinking the drops of blood, looks of intoxication appeared on the faces of the Blood Tribe cultivators.

The Evil-Slaying Sword in An Lin’s storage ring suddenly started trembling. This was a very rare occurrence, and An Lin could sense the extremely powerful killing desire coming from the sword. This was the first time that the Evil-Slaying Sword had actively conveyed its desires to An Lin!

He immediately suppressed the Evil-Slaying Sword’s urges.

“Little Xie, what’s wrong?” An Lin used his intent to communicate with the sword.

“I want to hack someone.”

The Evil-Slaying Sword’s cool and crisp voice sounded in his mind.

An Lin was slightly dazed. Then, a thought suddenly burst into his mind.

The Evil-Slaying Sword is an immortal weapon that the Dark Wing Tribe’s Dark Night Monarch used to always think about…

“You want to rescue that Dark Wing Tribe cultivator?” An Lin asked in astonishment. “Even so… we should wait for a while longer. Now’s not the time. When the time comes, I’ll massacre these Blood Tribe cultivators with you!”

An Lin felt like his reply was especially domineering.

“I think you’re misunderstanding something,” the Evil-Slaying Sword said indifferently. “What I meant was, I want to hack that Dark Wing Tribe cultivator to death.”

An Lin: “???”

This turn was too sharp, and An Lin could barely wrap his mind around it.

Meanwhile, the auction for the Dark Wing Tribe cultivator had already begun.

Just the starting price alone was already a whopping five hundred thousand spirit stones. Even so, many sects still participated in the bidding process. The atmosphere was extremely lively and enthusiastic.

A significant portion of the Blood Tribe cultivators cultivated by sucking the blood and life essence of other creatures. Thus, in their eyes, this Dark Wing Tribe cultivator was akin to an extremely rare pill…

Eventually, this Dark Wing Tribe cultivator was sold for one million and eighty thousand spirit stones.

The bidder who had won was Sect Leader Simpson of the Heavenly Scorpion Sect. This was a golden-haired male who had silver-colored muscles. Right now, there was an uncanny smile on his scar-filled face.

Right at this moment, an even more impassioned voice traveled over.

“Next up is the main event of this auction!”

Starbucks’ face was flushed red with excitement as he flew to the center of the stage.

“The item that you’ve all been waiting for is going to be auctioned now!”

This simple exclamation caused the Blood Tribe cultivators’ breathing to quicken.

“The auctioning of this item is being controlled by a being who is noble beyond your wildest imaginations. I’ve already comprehensively investigated all of your backgrounds. However, I still hope that you can all swear on your dao hearts to keep this auction a secret!”

Right after Starbucks said this, the Blood Tribe cultivators started swearing on their dao hearts.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan also swore on their dao hearts along with the others. There was nothing wrong with making such a vow anyway. Eventually, they were going to slaughter everyone present!

After completing the vows, Starbucks finally announced the most astounding piece of information.

“The item for auction this time is a paragon treasure that Holy Disciple Cassidy obtained from our ancestor’s holy lands. It’s a paragon treasure that can allow one to attain enlightenment in the true meaning of life and also increase one’s potential infinitely!”

This introduction sent a series of shockwaves through the crowd.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both wore dazed expressions.

Cassidy again?

The title of Holy Disciple alone was able to make that treasure appear extremely dazzling.

The Blood Tribe cultivators were all eager with anticipation. They were eager to lay their eyes on that treasure.

“Today is the Blood Tasting Festival, so the auctioned items naturally have to do with blood. However, there isn’t a sampling activity this time. Because… there’s only one drop of blood!

“That’s right! It’s a drop of the Holy Patriarch’s blood!

“It can purify our bodies and allow our life essence to undergo true sublimation! It can also raise the level of our existence and allow the blood in our bodies to become more similar to the Holy Patriarch’s blood!”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this!

The significance of this was profound, and the value of this drop of blood was unfathomable!

The blood of the Holy Patriarch… This was a drop of blood that could evolve them to a higher level!

If all of this was true, then almost no Blood Tribe cultivator could resist the temptation.

Under the eager gaze of the crowd.

Starbucks’ storage ring flashed, and a drop of blood materialized in the void. It was enveloped in a terrifying barrier. This was to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

However, the fluctuation and aura of that drop of blood suffused throughout the entire hall!

Xu Xiaolan was momentarily dazed. Then, she looked toward the male beside her.

An Lin was paralyzed to the spot in astonishment. It was as though he had seen something unbelievably absurd.

After a moment, he murmured, “Isn’t this my f*cking blood?!”
