"Hello, sirs, do you have an invitation?" the server, dressed in an exquisite uniform, asked politely with a warm and appropriate smile.
His every move exuded professionalism, and his service was attentive and meticulous. However, rules were rules; without an invitation, no one could step into the inner venue.
Jiang Yuan was calm and composed; he naturally had an invitation.
He unhurriedly pulled out a special card and lightly waved it in front of the server.
In an instant, the server's professional smile became even more respectful. He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, leading Jiang Yuan and Liu Xian into the inner venue.
Stepping inside, luxury and noise assaulted them.
At this moment, a fierce auction was taking place on stage, and the item up for bid was a high-quality Commander-level Soul Seed.
Bids rose and fell, and the atmosphere was as fiery as a burning flame, with the price already soaring to 370 million.
Jiang Yuan led Liu Xian to their seats. As soon as they sat down, the server handed them bidding paddle number 47.
Just then, the Soul Seed found its owner, acquired by a wealthy buyer.
Immediately following, the next auction item appeared—a Wind Soul Seed, and a very rare, high-quality Domain Soul Seed at that.
Instantly, a new wave of bidding enthusiasm surged again, with bids coming in ceaselessly, and the price also nearing several hundred million.
Jiang Yuan looked at several auction items in a row, but whether it was Soul Seeds, Soul Seeds, or rare magic tools, none of them stirred his heart; not a single one piqued his interest.
The auction proceeded in an orderly fashion until the latter half, when some truly good items gradually began to appear.
There were mysterious demon eggs, ancient and heavy artifacts, and even rumored treasure maps and secret maps, each causing a stir among the audience.
Finally, the focus of the entire venue appeared—the first dragon egg of the auction.
"This is an Earth Rock Dragon egg. Its Giant Dragon bloodline content is extremely outstanding, belonging to the Asian Dragon species. Once hatched, it can directly become a Warrior-level Earth Rock Dragon, and after reaching adulthood, it can easily cross levels and advance to Commander-level!"
The emcee's passionate introduction instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire venue.
The earthy yellow eggshell looked simple and unadorned, yet it contained endless potential.
In Europe, Giant Dragons have always been an object of fervent pursuit. Historically, there were even rumors of people having inappropriate relations with Giant Dragons, which shows the extent of Europeans' obsession with Giant Dragons.
As soon as this dragon egg appeared, the audience instantly erupted, with bids rising higher and higher, and the atmosphere reaching an unprecedented climax.
A man in the audience had a proud smile on his face. The family crest he wore displayed his identity—a descendant of a Dragon Taming Family.
In this land, the Dragon Taming Family could be called a top wealthy family, and the dragon egg on stage was brought by him for auction. The higher the price, the happier he naturally smiled.
Jiang Yuan watched with interest for a while, but a hint of disappointment gradually arose in his heart.
He had originally thought that, given the protagonist's treatment, upon arriving at this auction house, he would at least find a good deal and discover a treasure greatly beneficial to himself. But reality left him helpless; he had, after all, thought too much.
He sighed to himself, then stood up with Liu Xian and quietly left the auction house.
On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Yuan and Liu Xian walked side by side, chatting casually.
"You have a younger sister, right? Did you say goodbye to her before going abroad?" Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered Liu Ru, who might have been turned into a Vampire, but was now just an ordinary girl.
"Yes, I've already told her," Liu Xian replied softly.
Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then asked again, "How is your control over your power?"
"I've mostly mastered it, but it will still take some time to fully control it," Liu Xian answered seriously.
Jiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction after hearing her.
Liu Xian was completely different from ordinary Vampires. Not only could she enter the hyper-frequency resonance state independently, but her self-healing ability, strength, and agility were also several times that of ordinary Vampires.
Now, her strength was already comparable to that of a typical Commander-level Vampire, and her growth rate was astonishing.
One must know that just a few days ago, she was just an ordinary human. This huge transformation was enough to make those Mages who cultivated step by step feel out of reach and inferior.
After all, the growth rate of demons is inherently far superior to human Mages.
Just like an ordinary Super-Order Mage, if he were to transform into an undead after death, his strength would also greatly increase. Even if he had an entire team of companions during his lifetime, they might not be a match for him after he transformed into an undead.
"Look, it's a Giant Dragon!!"
As the two were talking, a person dressed as a tourist suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly.
Jiang Yuan and Liu Xian looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see three massive creatures, thirty to forty meters long, appear in the sky at some unknown time.
They had majestic dragon heads, broad fleshy wings, and slightly bloated lizard-like bodies. Those who knew would recognize them at a glance as Asian Dragons.
But those tourists had no idea; in their eyes, these Asian Dragons perfectly matched the image of Giant Dragons in their minds, and they were all so excited they were dancing with joy.
In contrast, the local residents merely glanced at them indifferently and continued with their own affairs as if they were already accustomed to this sight.
However, they still tacitly cleared an open space, apparently in preparation for the Asian Dragons that were about to land.
Only those tourists were still shouting and gathering around, wanting to catch a glimpse of the dragons.
It would be even better if they could have close contact.
"Boom~~~~~!!"
A dull thud echoed as the three Commander-level Asian Dragons landed simultaneously, their powerful dragon might spreading out wantonly.
On their backs, stood three handsome young men, each with a playful expression, gracefully leaping down from the dragons' backs.
"A bunch of country bumpkins!" one of them scoffed with disdain, not holding back his contempt.
The three did not linger, heading directly towards the auction house, with their Asian Dragons following closely like loyal guards.
And their path happened to intersect with Jiang Yuan and Liu Xian.
Jiang Yuan and Liu Xian were walking in the middle of the road, their postures tall and particularly noticeable.
The three young men casually glanced at Jiang Yuan, but then saw the beautiful Liu Xian, and the flame of amusement in their hearts flared up.
The three exchanged glances, and one of them subtly patted the Asian Dragon beside him.
The Asian Dragon seemed to receive some command, bypassed the three young men, and came directly in front of Jiang Yuan, its head lowered, its vertical pupils staring intently at Jiang Yuan.
At the same time, the Commander-level dragon might exerted mental pressure on him.
Most people, seeing this sudden scene, would have already panicked, or even been crushed to death by the immense aura.
Jiang Yuan was different; he stopped.
His cold eyes met the Asian Dragon's.
