I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Now we begin the auction for the fourth item!" Number Zero continued the auction process as if he hadn’t heard Zhang Menglong.

"Hah!"

The whole room erupted once again because Number Zero not only took no action against Zhang Menglong, he even ignored his arrogant behavior. What does this mean? Does it mean even he can’t manage Zhang Menglong?

For a moment, they didn’t know whether to question the rules and authority of this world or to question whether Zhang Menglong’s identity had some special attributes.

"Damn, this ultimate biological weapon is just for show? No response even after being provoked so much?"

"Yeah, I thought that biological weapon would surely make a move!"

"What’s there to move? Even if the ultimate biological weapon is powerful, it’s still something within this world’s rules!"

"Exactly, did you see the Beast God Scroll in that human’s hand?"

"Oh, that’s why this ultimate creature is so polite..."

Though many attributed it to the intimidation of the Beast God Scroll in Zhang Menglong’s hand, Zhang Menglong knew quite well it wasn’t the scroll but there are many unknown things in this world.

...

Zhang Menglong refocused his attention on the auction items. He believed this intimidation would make the ensuing auction go much more smoothly.

"Now begin the auction for the fourth item," Number Zero said in an unusually calm tone, as if nothing had happened earlier, "an unidentified grade Beast God Crystal!"

"Beast God Crystal? A Beast God Crystal makes an appearance this time!"

"But why is it unidentified in rank? How does one set the price?"

"This is basically a gamble!"

All the adventurers immediately started buzzing.

"What’s this Beast God Crystal? Does it have something to do with the Beast God?" In Zhang Menglong’s mind, Pickbo’s cute figure appeared.

"Not much to do with the Beast God, but very closely related to all warcrafts," Dominic beside Zhang Menglong explained. "It’s something that can elevate a guardian beast’s rank!"

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong’s eyes brightened. He had been contemplating how to help the Azure Dragon boost its rank quickly, not expecting to find related items at this auction.

"That’s the energy core condensed from a guardian beast after its death," Dominic explained.

"What’s the effect of this thing?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"If it’s from a First Grade guardian beast’s death, it holds almost no value. But if it’s the condensation from a high-grade guardian beast’s death then..."

"As long as the guardian beast’s rank is below two ranks of the Beast God Crystal, it can almost directly upgrade by a rank. The higher the rank of Beast God Crystal, it can even cause a guardian beast to transform, acquiring some traits its owner previously had. But the Beast God Crystal must be condensed by the guardian beast using all its guardian thoughts before dying, otherwise forcibly slaying it won’t create the Beast God Crystal."

"So, giving birth to this Beast God Crystal comes with difficulties," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, for such a powerful creature to sacrifice its life to condense such a core, that’s almost something only a Holy Mother level guardian beast would do.

"It’s very strange though, Beast God Crystals can typically be detected for their rank through certain apparatuses. Like two or three hundred auctions ago, a Beast God Crystal of Fifth order guardian beast appeared, sparking a scramble among countless races. Why can’t this one’s rank be determined now?" Dominic grew more puzzled.

Yet everyone wasn’t discouraged by this and instead grew more expectant.

Most races’ guardian beasts were at most First Grade. Even Fifth-class races may have just barely touched Second Grade. Typically, Third-class races had guardian beasts with Third Grade abilities.

Only First-class races could possibly have guardian beasts above Fourth-class!

Races with guardian beasts reaching Fifth-class would not exceed 1,000, and Sixth-class or higher would be even rarer.

Now not just those small races are anticipating, even those top-level races are extremely eager. If they can elevate their guardian beasts by one rank, it’d allow them to dominate and walk proudly among surrounding races with little difficulty.

"Everyone must be very curious why I’m unable to determine the rank of this Beast God Crystal," Number Zero said, "because the device used requires a special particle penetration inside the Beast God Crystal. Norm Beast God Crystal structures are stable without any issues, but this one has been corrupted by other forces during condensation, making it very unstable. Any internal particle impact could destroy it."

"So that’s the reason, it really is all about luck then."

"Yes, if you’re unlucky, it might just be a First Grade Beast God Crystal, but if lucky, it might be Eighth or Ninth Grade."

"I bet the grade of this Beast God Crystal isn’t low. Otherwise, why would it have been invaded by other forces? It must be so precious that someone wanted to meddle."

...

"What I can tell you is this Beast God Crystal is surely not low in grade," Number Zero continued. "Preliminary judgment suggests it’s above Fourth Grade, but exact rank can’t be determined, and the interfering force might affect a guardian beast’s absorption, so please choose cautiously."

"Goodness, if Number Zero were a professional auctioneer, he probably wouldn’t find a job," Zhang Menglong couldn’t help rolling his eyes. An auctioneer’s main role is to sell an item for as high a price as possible, so they usually lavish praise on small advantages while hiding defects."

Yet Number Zero not only pointed out flaws, he even cautioned buyers, it’s rare for a merchant to be so conscientious!

[Dean, you might try purifying the special energy with Strange Fire, maybe it can cleanse the Beast God Crystal] Gou Dan suggested.

"Oh!" Zhang Menglong’s eyes brightened. Strange Fire can purify all things; its rank should be within the Supreme World as one of the top-tier wonders, purifying this energy shouldn’t be difficult.

"In that case, I’m determined to get this item!"

"The starting price for this Beast God Crystal: 5 million Supreme Crystals!" Almost simultaneously, Number Zero also announced the starting bid, "Each increment must be no less than 200,000 Supreme Crystals."

"Human, 1 billion Supreme Crystals!" Right after Number Zero finished speaking, Zhang Menglong immediately declared.

This astonishing figure attracted everyone’s attention.

"Right off to a billion? Is he expressing his determination to win this time?"

"How can anyone else compete with that?"

"Exactly, now there’s no one calling out random prices. It’s down to who has more money, how many can even compete?"

With one price quote, Zhang Menglong essentially eliminated over 99.99% of the races, leaving them with no sense of participation.

"Menglong, why did you call such a high amount at once? The Beast God Crystal’s price may not reach that high!" Dominic and Pickbo smiled wryly at Zhang Menglong.

"Isn’t it a waste of time and fees letting everyone slowly bid up?" Zhang Menglong shrugged, "I’m considering everyone here!"
