Chapter 495: Chapter 489: Wandering Flame Burns
“Which one would be more powerful, Beastmaster Cooperation or Bond Coordination?” David Jones fell into contemplation.
At this point, as if sensing David’s thoughts, Lilith Hoyle conveyed her thoughts to him.
“A single person cannot form an array, just as a single tree cannot form a forest. Beastmaster Cooperation is a collective power of trainers, which manifests the power of might, possessing unrivaled killing prowess.”
“On the other hand, Bond Coordination is the power of the bond itself, linking the trainer’s soul with their pet, and thus creating miracles. The stronger the bond, the stronger the power bursts of Bond Coordination will be. It is difficult to compare these two battle methods.”
“Psychic Link, huh?” David stared blankly at the Flood Dragon wristwatch on his wrist.
“Once you have cultivated the Afterglow Array to the perfect level, you will naturally comprehend the mysteries of Bond Coordination.” Lilith Hoyle’s mouth curved slightly.
“Grandmaster Hoyle, please come this way.”
After confirming the invitation correctly, Wayne Goldsmith curiously looked at David a couple of times, then stretched out his right hand towards the opened main entrance.
“Strange, why is this guy so interested in me?” Sensing the dragon-like gaze on him, David Jones raised his eyebrows and followed his teacher into the auction.
As soon as they entered, a magnificent and luxurious huge exhibition platform caught David’s eye. Under the dazzling crystal chandeliers, a slow-streaming mysterious light emitted an aura that isolated everything.
On the exhibition platform, a beautiful woman with a perfectly structured face, a faint golden three-leaf clover mark on her forehead, dressed in a simple and elegant long skirt that accentuated her exquisite figure, was sitting with her eyes closed.
“Interesting! The Goldsmith’s legitimate daughter had actually chosen to appear as the auctioneer. It seems the final auction item tonight is extraordinary!”
Lilith Hoyle smiled slightly, then followed the guidance of an usher to an elegant tea room.
Soon, a bell rang, which cleared people’s minds. The woman on the exhibition platform opened her eyes.
“The Star Moon Auction Event now begins!”
As the woman’s clear spring-like voice fell, a ripple in space erupted on the exhibition platform, followed by a jade bottle falling into her hand.
“The first auction item is a Level VI Dragon resource, Dragon Dew, which, when consumed by a Dragon-Type Pet Beast once a month, can greatly increase the speed of Arcane Force cultivation and shorten the growth period. If used with Pure Yang Blood Refining Pill, the effect is even better.”
“A bottle contains ten drops of Dragon Dew, with a starting bid of two hundred million Star Coins.” The woman’s voice was cool and calm, as if the auction item in her hand was nothing special.
Although the seller’s words were not enthusiastic, the rarity of the items auctioned off still piqued the interest of the buyers in the tea rooms. The price of Dragon Dew rocketed, quickly rising to three hundred million Star Coins.
This skyrocketing price immediately dissuaded David from buying it.
After the afternoon’s shopping, his Star Coin account balance was already low, and he needed the remaining Star Coins to bid on the Time Stone that would appear later in the auction.
However, when the price of Dragon Dew reached its peak and there were only a few bidders left, David couldn’t help but input a price of three hundred and twenty-two million on the big screen in front of him, just to give it a try.
However, the next second, the price of Dragon Dew soared to four hundred million.
“So much money!” David muttered, choosing to give up.
He already had Pure Yang Blood Refining Pills on him, so there was no need to buy Dragon Dew at a premium price.
At this moment, Grandmaster Hoyle, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stretched out a finger and submitted a bid that silenced the entire venue.
“Five hundred million Star Coins bid from Tea Room Number Three. Five hundred million once, five hundred million twice!” The woman scanned the room, confirmed that there were no higher bids, and then struck her jade mallet.
“Congratulations to the guest in Tea Room Number Three for successfully bidding on this item at the price of five hundred million.”
Spectating his teacher, who only made a move to stun the entire venue, David’s eyes filled with admiration.
Is this the boldness of a Great Grandmaster Pharmacist? With five billion Star Coins spent as easily as five dollars.
Soon, a gentle knock on the door was heard, and a gentle and charming waitress carrying a jade plate entered the tea room.
Lilith Hoyle casually took out a black card to pay and immediately tossed the jade bottle into David Jones’ arms.
“Teacher, what is this?” David looked surprised.
” Hold it for me first. One drop of Dragon Dew costs 50 million. You can take as much as you want.”
Having said that, Lilith closed her eyes, for she seemed to have little interest in the upcoming auction items.
David felt warm in his heart and put away the jade bottle.
He couldn’t afford ten drops of Dragon Dew, but five or six drops were still affordable.
“Huh, Grau’s wife hasn’t arrived yet!” Grau checked the time on his phone.
“Wife?”
Lilith’s eyes twitched, “What’s Grau up to now?”
Hearing this, the waiter quickly bowed and apologized, “Respected guest, the Immortal Dragon will arrive within half an hour. Please forgive us.”
Who could have thought that the nature-loving Immortal Dragon would choose to commit suicide at the last moment? If it hadn’t been discovered by the staff in time, it could have affected the reputation of the Star Moon Commerce Guild. Looking at the disappearing back of the waiter, Lilith spoke with an odd tone. “Grau, when did you get a wife, and she’s an Immortal Dragon too?”
“It happened this afternoon. Lil’ brother helped me find her!” Grau scratched his nose with his dragon claw.
“I didn’t. I didn’t!”
Noticing the teacher’s strange gaze, David quickly denied it.
Fortunately, at this moment, the auction item on display caught the teacher’s attention.
In a cage of intertwining faint lights, a red fire bird continually flapped its flaming wings. From its beak, it occasionally spewed out scorching flames that hit the cage while uttering an imposing, angry cry.
It had a pair of sharp, red eyes, and its eyelashes, like flowing flames, extended back from the corners of its eyes. Its golden beak contained extreme heat.
Behind it were tricolored feathers: slightly yellow on the outside, brownish-red in the middle, and deep red and black on the inside. It had three tail feathers and a pair of black, sharp claws under its belly, making it look particularly valiant.
“Amber Swallow!” Lilith whispered the name of this fire-type pet beast.
This was the first time David had seen his teacher show such a serious expression. As expected, she must be interested in this pet beast.
“Is it an Overlord or an Emperor?” David activated the Illusion-Piercing Eye.
“Pet Name”: Amber Swallow
“PetType”: Fire
“Species Level”: Epic Overlord
“Grade”: Class III lower-level
“Species Skill”: Amber Fire, Quetzal Body, Extreme Flame Godly Speed, Phoenix Dance
“Pet Profile”: One of the descendants of the ancient divine phoenix, it possesses the noble blood symbolizing peace and auspiciousness. It can evolve into Phoenix Emperor or Divine Martial Fiery Phoenix.
“No wonder the teacher is moved. It’s the long-extinct Amber Swallow. I don’t know where the Star Moon Commerce Guild found it!”
Looking at the fire bird that radiated a domineering aura, David’s eyes sparkled.
If he remembered correctly, Phoenix College had always been looking for information about Amber Swallows at a high price.
