The egg of the Blue-Winged Flame Great Peng Bird, shimmering with a faint flame pattern, appeared in the palm of Ye Wushuang. The egg was covered with a gentle flame, which seemed to be full of life and vitality. Tian Qingyao looked at the egg floating in Ye Wushuang’s palm and immediately stood up, her face showing a hint of surprise. “Is this the egg of a spiritual beast?” she asked.
Tian Qingyao examined the egg carefully, and her expression became even more astonished as she exclaimed, “The egg of an eighth-rank spiritual beast, the Blue-Winged Flame Great Peng Bird!!!” The Blue-Winged Flame Great Peng Bird is a relatively rare eighth-rank spiritual beast, known for its formidable strength and incredible speed. It prefers to live in extremely hot regions. Generally speaking, the more powerful a spiritual beast is, the more cautious it is about protecting its offspring. It would be extremely difficult for even five individuals at the摘星化境(Zhai Xing Hua Jing) level to seize such an egg.
“Did you get it from a rough stone?” she asked.
“Of course!” Ye Wushuang replied, gently pushing his palm forward, causing the spiritual egg to float in front of Tian Qingyao. Tian Qingyao’s jade-like hand released a bit of spiritual energy to sense it, but then she frowned slightly and handed the egg to her master, Yu Luoying.
Yu Luoying took the egg and examined it for a long time before saying, “This spiritual egg of the Great Peng Bird has been in the rough stone for too long and failed to hatch. It has some congenital defects.”
“However, these defects can be compensated for, and it’s not a big problem!” she added.
Upon hearing this, Tian Qingyao’s face became even more delighted. It was well-known that among the various forces in the Central Continent, there were many true prodigies who were favored and nurtured by the top echelons of their factions from a young age. Many of these top figures liked to provide their younger generations with companion spiritual beasts. This egg would be perfect for that purpose. More importantly, it was an eighth-rank spiritual beast! If properly raised, it would become a strong warrior at the摘星化境(Zhai Xing Hua Jing) level.
Tian Qingyao calmed down a bit and quickly sat back down, saying, “Does Master Ye really intend to sell this item? If I remember correctly, your sister is cultivating in the Jiu Ding Tian Zong. Perhaps this egg would be better suited as her companion spiritual beast!”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang shook his head and smiled, “My sister’s path has its own opportunities.”
Tian Qingyao nodded immediately, “Alright, then, Master Ye, please name your price!”
However, Ye Wushuang still shook his head.
“Aren’t you planning to sell it?” Tian Qingyao stood up hurriedly, her tone urgent.
Realizing her loss of composure, Tian Qingyao quickly sat back down, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of tea.
“I do intend to sell it, but not directly,” Ye Wushuang said directly. “I can consign this egg to your Tian Yuan Pavilion for auction, and we will split the profits fifty-fifty!”
Upon hearing this, Tian Qingyao was taken aback. “Fifty-fifty split?”
Normally, when a guest consigned a precious item for auction, the Tian Yuan Pavilion would only charge a ten percent handling fee. Of course, some unique auction items were exceptions. However, a fifty-fifty split had never been heard of before.
Ye Wushuang continued, “I find gambling on stones quite interesting. So in the future, if I come across suitable rough stones, I will definitely buy them. This cooperation is just the beginning, to show my sincerity!”
“Moreover, there is another condition for the fifty-fifty split.”
Tian Qingyao’s beautiful eyes looked at Ye Wushuang.
“I want a piece of Tai Chu Ming Shi (Primordial Life Stone), no less than ten pounds in weight!”
Upon hearing this, Tian Qingyao immediately understood Ye Wushuang’s intention. The reason for the fifty-fifty split was that Ye Wushuang was willing to give up some of the profit in exchange for the Primordial Life Stone.
Tian Qingyao immediately said, “That might be a bit difficult. How about this, I can give Master Ye three pounds of Primordial Life Stone!”
Ye Wushuang shook his head. “Three pounds is definitely not enough.”
Tian Qingyao’s face showed a hint of difficulty.
Ye Wushuang continued, “Since your Tian Yuan Pavilion has obtained the Primordial Life Stone, and as far as I know, a piece of Primordial Life Stone usually weighs at least twenty pounds when it forms. I only want ten pounds, and you can still auction off the remaining ten pounds.”
“And I promise that after the Dongxu List ranking competition ends and the auction begins, I will still participate in the auction.”
“I will do my best to raise the price of the Primordial Life Stone, so that your Tian Yuan Pavilion will not suffer any losses!!”
Upon hearing this, Tian Qingyao immediately understood Ye Wushuang’s intention. Ye Wushuang’s meaning was very clear. He would take fifty percent of the auction proceeds of the Blue-Winged Flame Great Peng Bird’s spiritual egg, give the other fifty percent to the Tian Yuan Pavilion, and in return, he wanted ten pounds of Primordial Life Stone. The remaining Primordial Life Stone would still be auctioned off by the Tian Yuan Pavilion. Outsiders would think that the Holy Heaven Sect was in desperate need of Primordial Life Stone. At that time, Ye Wushuang could continue to act, raising the price of the Primordial Life Stone…
Tian Qingyao said with difficulty, “I understand Master Ye’s intention, but I can’t make this decision…”
“No problem!”
At this moment, Yu Luoying, who had been sitting on the side, spoke in a gentle voice, “I think I, as the deputy director, can make this decision.”
Hearing her master speak, Tian Qingyao also breathed a sigh of relief. This was the reason why she had begged her master to come along. Her master was one of the deputy directors of the Tian Yuan Pavilion and had a great deal of say. If she agreed, even her father would not object.
“Good!”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Once I get the Primordial Life Stone, I will hand over the spiritual egg to you. You can publicize it as you wish!”
“Deal!”
Tian Qingyao then said, “Master Ye must have cut out more than just this one spiritual egg, right?”
