Chapter 197: The Kali City Grand Auction

Zhang Haoxuan replied casually, "I converted it all into naturae coins, which are easier to use. A total of one thousand and twenty naturae coins."

Tang San gasped in surprise, "That much?"

Tang San didn\'t know precisely how many Winged Tigers Zhang Haoxuan had hunted. He only knew there was a Winged Tiger King among them. Even if his teacher hadn\'t hunted the adult Winged Tigers to extinction, he must have killed a significant number. No wonder it had taken him so long to return.

Zhang Haoxuan explained, "Well, it’s mainly because even normal Winged Tigers are quite valuable, not to even mention a ninth-order king."

Over a thousand naturae coins was a small fortune. Naturae coins had strong purchasing power, which Tang San knew well. Even among the demon clans, the usual currencies were aetherhorn coins and demonshard coins. Only the nobility used naturae coins. And now, Tang San’s team had a thousand naturae coins available to them!

"When are we going to the auction?" Tang San asked.

Zhang Haoxuan replied, "In six days, there will be a major auction in Kali City. It\'s the highest level of auction, and it’s held only once every three months. I\'ll take you there. Think about what items you want so we can target them specifically."

"I don\'t want anything for myself," Tang San said. "Master, let\'s try to buy something for Du Bai, Zicheng, and Gu Li to enhance their cultivation and help them break through faster."

"Hmm?" Zhang Haoxuan was taken aback, not expecting Tang San to say this.

"Of course, we\'ll also look around, and if there\'s something I need, we\'ll naturally buy it. But don\'t forget, their cultivation improvement is equivalent to mine! I\'ve already decided to wait until I elevate all my Demonic God Transformation bloodline imprints to the peak of the sixth order before I break through. It will be safer that way," Tang San said.

"That makes sense. Your cultivation method is unique, and you must explore everything independently. Nothing is more important than safety; being overly cautious is not bad. Besides, you\'re still young; there\'s no need to rush. Reaching the peak of the sixth order at your age is already quite impressive. I support your idea," Zhang Haoxuan said.

Even after Zhang Haoxuan left, Tang San was still inwardly shocked by the thousand naturae coins.

Kali Academy\'s store had many good items, but he couldn\'t take anything, since his plan was likely to fail if he alerted someone. Even borrowing their energy for cultivation had to be done carefully to avoid depleting resources.

And now, he had over a thousand naturae coins—that was a tangible fortune! Investing this money in their cultivation would undoubtedly be immensely helpful.

The idea of using money to enhance cultivation was quite appealing. His fellow disciples were indeed fortunate.

The academy\'s meals had significantly improved as of late, often featuring demonic beast meat and bone soup. This was closely related to the outdoors training and hunting of demonic beasts, resulting in an increased improvement rate for all academy students.

Besides continuing his duties as a janitor, Tang San continued to craft his hidden weapons. Combining these with arrays and integrating the traits of the Demonic God Transformations, he developed many new ideas after his recent experiences.

Different Demonic God Transformations matched with various hidden weapons would produce different effects.

For instance, hidden weapons suitable for the Celestial Fox Transformation were those that had great power but only one shot. The main issue with such powerful one-shot weapons was that they were often easy to evade. However, with the boost of the Celestial Fox Vision\'s luck, evasion became impossible. Combined, they could maximize the destructive power of these hidden weapons.

The hidden weapons suitable for the Golden Roc Transformation, Chrono Croc Transformation, and Ice Nymph Transformation also varied.

Based on this reasoning, Tang San continued to develop and improve the arrays he inscribed on the hidden weapons, as well as the weapons themselves, recently gaining some new insights.

Mei Gongzi had been keeping to herself lately, and Tang San was somewhat anxious, not knowing what she was doing. They hadn\'t spoken since their conversation a month ago.

Six days passed in a blink.

The Kali City grand auction, held once every three months, was one of the grandest events in Kali City. The prominent demon families of Kali City and the nobles from nearby main cities would participate.

Different regional auctions had other focuses, as the sources of natural treasures varied.

Kali City was near the coast and produced unique treasures from the so-called Endless Blue Sea. Therefore, attending the Kali City auction was the easiest way to acquire such treasures.

The grand auction was held in the Great Beast Fighting Arena, the largest venue in Kali City.

This arena was usually used for demon-beast fights, one of the greatest pleasures for the nobility, who gambled on these battles.

The Great Beast Fighting Arena could accommodate ten thousand demons for viewing. Naturally, it was perfect for the auction. The more participants in the bidding, the higher the prices of the auction items tended to be.

Whenever the grand auction was held, prices in Kali City soared, filling the coffers of the nobility who owned various industries.

The Great Beast Fighting Arena area was already bustling early in the morning. A large number of demons with auction qualifications were converging here.

Outside the arena, various shops and temporary stalls lined the streets, creating a somewhat chaotic scene. They sold food, auction catalogs, slaves, and more.

Tang San followed Zhang Haoxuan, walking carefully along the edge of the street.

Today, only these two from the Redemption Society attended the auction.

Humans, being low-status vassals, were usually not allowed to participate in auctions. Tang San didn\'t know how Zhang Haoxuan had obtained their auction qualifications. They had disguised themselves as the most human-like of the ape demon clans.

From afar, they saw the majestic Great Beast Fighting Arena. The colossal arena exuded a fierce and formidable aura, looking like an enormous beast crouching on the ground.

Zhang Haoxuan whispered, "The beast fighting arena is the favorite entertainment spot for the demon clans. They gamble on demonic beasts fighting each other and participate in the battles themselves. The demon clans value martial prowess, that is and has always been the only criterion for status.

“Those who defeat strong opponents in the Great Beast Fighting Arena receive substantial rewards and higher status. As you know, nobility among the demon clans usually comes from bloodline inheritance. Those with powerful bloodlines are born nobles. The only way for ordinary demons to become nobles is to participate and win in the beast fights. Winning ten consecutive battles in a main city-level arena like this grants noble status."

Tang San\'s interest piqued, "What about us, the human vassals? Can we participate in the beast fights to attain noble status?"

Zhang Haoxuan replied, "In theory, yes, but you would need to win a hundred consecutive battles."

"A hundred battles?" Tang San\'s mouth twitched at the thought.
