A giant egg, half a meter high, stood on the platform, with fine water elements swirling around its surface. From a distance, it seemed to be surrounded by a blue mist. What was inside the egg, no one knew.

  Ling stood beside the egg that had gathered everyone's attention, his gaze sweeping across the people below. "Everyone can see that this is an unhatched egg. The difficulty of obtaining a Merfolk egg is also well-known to all. An un-hatched magical beast is the easiest to tame, and even as a pet, the name of the Merfolk tribe can shake a region."

  As soon as this was said, some people in the scene took a deep breath. Some summoners looked very ugly, how could such a rare and precious demon become a pet? Does the Summoner's Guild allow such things to happen?!

  "This is the seller's intention, although the summoner's alliance also feels regretful. The seller of this egg has his own meaning, the seller does not use gems to trade, he has specific requirements. And the first person who meets his requirements can naturally take away this egg."

  Isn't the transaction with ore? Yun Feng slightly furrowed his brow. Everyone held their breath, and that ninth-level summoner's face was about to wrinkle together. Not using ore for the transaction undoubtedly added many variables, but what was the seller's requirement?

  Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere of the crowd, he chuckled and said, "The seller's request is actually very simple, Fire Essence Source Liquid."

  As soon as this was said, some people on the scene furrowed their brows, while others had question marks all over their faces. Yun Feng, who was in the room, suddenly froze, Fire Essence Source Liquid? Xiao Huo also came to a sudden realization, "Master...!" At that time, Yun Feng had just made a contract with Xiao Huo and because of Rouyuan's carelessness, he jumped into that huge crevice. In the cave where they met Ao Jin, there was a Fire Essence Source Tree emitting a thick, eerie fire element. Yun Feng got a small bottle of bright red liquid from it, which should be the Fire Essence Source Liquid!

  "The Fire Essence Origin Liquid is obtained from the Fire Essence Origin Tree, and the growth region of the Fire Essence Origin Tree remains a mystery to this day. Please make an effort to find it. Whoever gets the Fire Essence Origin Liquid first will own this egg. The time limit is not set, and whoever arrives first will get it."

  Zero's words brought endless sighs from the scene, and many people even cursed out loud. What kind of ghostly condition is this? The Fire Essence Origin Liquid has never been heard of! And the growth region of the Fire Essence Origin Tree is unclear, where can one go to find it?

  "Can't we exchange under different conditions? I also have some good stuff." Someone chimed in. Ling smiled faintly, "Sorry, the seller only wants Fire Essence Source Liquid, nothing else will do."

  Yun Feng looked at the gloomy faces of everyone in the hall and couldn't help but feel grateful for her own good fortune. The bottle of Huo Jing Yuan Sheng liquid she had obtained back then was still unused, stored in the space within her bracelet. That Huo Jing Yuan Sheng liquid could absorb battle aura, and Yun Feng had originally planned to use it on her current monarch-level magic wand. Just thinking about it, if magic were to have the ability to absorb battle aura, its power would be even greater than before, but for warriors, it would be a nightmare!

  With a flip of his palm, the bottle of Fire Essence Elixir that had appeared in Yun Feng's hand at first now gradually turned into a light red color. After several years, the vitality of the Fire Essence Elixir remained undiminished, and Yun Feng could still feel the turbulent fire element energy.

  "This is... the Huojing Yuansheng Liquid?" Qu Lan Yi glanced at the bottle and immediately knew what was inside. Yun Feng curled up the corners of her mouth, she was really lucky enough, something that others had no idea about, she had already obtained.

  "How awesome, teacher!" Xia Qing's big eyes were full of admiring gazes. In her eyes, Yun Feng was already all-powerful and nothing could stump her teacher. What a wonderful thing, her teacher actually had it too.

  Yun Feng nodded, playing with the bottle in his hand, and clearly felt Xiao Huo's drooling gaze. At first, Xiao Huo had this expression, and after many years, it seemed that he still hadn't changed.

  "Cough cough, Huo Xiong." Ling Yi said in a low voice beside him. Xiao Huo suddenly turned around, and only then did he barely manage to shift his gaze away from the small bottle.

  "All I can say is that my luck isn't bad," Yun Feng said with a smile, pressing a button. "Fire Essence Source Liquid, how much does the seller want?"

  This sentence suddenly plunged the noisy hall into a moment of silence, and some people who were just discussing what Huo Jing Yuan Sheng Tree was, now it seems that someone has already gotten their hands on it!

  "If the young lady is willing, the seller wants to have a personal conversation with her." Zero smiled slightly, his expression didn't fluctuate much. Yun Feng thought that talking face-to-face wasn't bad either, if this seller thought he could take advantage of him, then he was greatly mistaken.

  "Then let's talk face to face." Yun Feng said, and suddenly a figure stood up in the great hall, with an excited expression. It was that ninth-level female summoner who had always been calm as a mountain, the woman who looked unapproachable when Yun Feng first entered the Summoners' Union.

  "I'll trade you ten premium ores for it!" The woman's excited voice echoed through the hall, "Ten premium ores! If you think that's not enough, I can add more! I'll use these to buy that bottle of Fire Essence from you!"

  Yun Feng's dark eyes looked over, the woman's gaze swept straight over, although she couldn't see Yun Feng, but still stared at him intently, as if she could penetrate the wall. When she found that Yun Feng didn't make a sound, the woman bit her lip, "Twenty top-grade ore! I can only offer this much! Are you the one who bid on the Flower Eagle? You already have a Wind-type magical beast, a Water-type magical beast shouldn't be kept as a pet, it should belong to someone from the Water-type!"

  Yun Feng originally didn't plan on letting her, but this woman started talking and it wasn't a big deal at first. However, by the end of it, she had an attitude that made it seem like Yun Feng should be the one to give in, which made him feel quite displeased.

  "What if I don't let you?" Yun Feng's icy voice echoed throughout the entire hall, and now no one dared to speak, all holding their breath as they listened to the conversation between the two. Most people thought that Yun Feng had already taken down Hua Ying, and should have left some room for others. Not everything good can be grasped in one's hands, nor can it all be caught.

  "You... you're too greedy! I'm a water-element summoner, and water-element beasts can only be used to their fullest potential in the hands of a water-element summoner!" The woman shouted loudly with her back straight. This statement did make some sense, but it was also somewhat aggressive, after all, what's being discussed at an auction is not about this, whoever can afford the price has the qualification to get it, who cares about whether you're a water-element or not?

  Yun Feng coldly laughed and said, "How did you know that I'm not a water-element summoner?"

  The woman sneered and laughed, "You've already taken down the Flower Eagle, so you're naturally a Wind-type. If you weren't a Wind-type but still took down the Flower Eagle, it would only mean that you have the capital to be reckless. Are you a dual-system summoner or something?"

  Yun Feng smiled, "The auction is originally the winner takes all, I didn't break any rules, what qualifications do you have to speak to me like this? Could it be just because you're from the water system, I must let you win?"

  "You... you! What do you want in exchange for selling me the Huojing Yuan Sheng liquid? Name your price!" The woman shouted. Yun Feng's lips curled up with a cold smile, this tone was quite arrogant.

  "Hmph." Yun Feng didn't even bother to respond to her. You're a water-element mage, so I must let you? What kind of logic is that? This is an auction, not somewhere else! You shouldn't be saying such things without considering the occasion! Furthermore, you're not my friend, Yun Feng, just a stranger at most. Why should I let you have something that I, Yun Feng, must obtain?!

  The woman wanted to say something else, but Ling smiled and opened his mouth: "This guest should not speak again, lest he embarrass himself."

  The woman's face suddenly turned red, biting her lip in frustration as she stood there, her eyes fixed on the egg on the stage. No water summoner would let go of such an egg. The merfolk tribe's bloodline, a mysterious race living at the bottom of the endless sea, if they could make a contract with such a race, what kind of power it would bring!

  Opportunities are for those who are prepared, and it can only be said that Yun Feng's good fortune is deep. The seller wants things she happens to have, if it's something she doesn't have, she'll also rack her brains like everyone else. Some things, after all, are meant for those who are destined to get them.

  Zero said a few more words on the stage, and this auction had undoubtedly come to an end. Since someone had obtained the Fire Spirit Source Liquid, others naturally no longer had any opportunity. Many people also left with a hint of regret on their faces, and that ninth-level summoner could only turn around and leave in anger, feeling very displeased in his heart.

  "Miss, please wait." Zero bowed slightly in Yun Feng's direction and walked down from the auction stage with the egg in his arms. The auction had already ended, and the people in the hall had all left one after another. Yun Feng waited inside the room, and soon, a knock on the door was heard.

  "Come in." The door was pushed open, and Ling walked in with the exquisite box in his arms, followed by a man with a completely expressionless face. The man's features were very flat, and he didn't smile or speak much. When he saw Yun Feng, he just nodded slightly, and Yun Feng also nodded slightly to him. This man was very tight-lipped, whether it was his facial expressions or his actual abilities. Yun Feng could vaguely feel the suppressed power emanating from him, and the subtle energy fluctuations kept coming from the man's body, making him another deeply hidden person.

  Ling carefully placed the box from his bosom in front of Yun Feng, stepped aside and said, "Miss Yun, the seller wants to take a look at your Flame Essence Source Liquid."

  Yun Feng flipped her palm, and a small bottle appeared in her hand. The exterior of the bottle was semi-transparent, with the Huo Jing Yuan Sheng liquid inside rippling with a faint red color, and the violent fire element energy was quietly emanating from it.

  Xia Qing's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't say a word. The bottle in Yun Feng's hand was much more than what Xia Qing had seen earlier, and Yun Feng wasn't a fool either. Good things couldn't be revealed all at once, some had to be kept for herself. What Yun Feng took out now was only one quarter of the original Fire Essence Source Liquid, three quarters were still stored in her spatial ring.

  The man with a deadpan face suddenly lit up his eyes when he saw the Fire Essence, and his breathing also became slightly urgent, as if he had been craving for this thing for a long time. Zero stood aside and smiled slightly, "Sir, are you satisfied?"

  The man raised his eyes and looked at Yun Feng, as if inquiring about something. He finally opened his mouth slowly, "You still have." His voice was a bit hoarse. Yun Feng's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface, "There's only this much, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

  The man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his black eyes scanning Cloud Maple back and forth. Cloud Maple let him scan her, she didn't believe this man could know what was inside the space ring on her hand.

  After a moment of silence, the man finally nodded and snatched the small bottle from Yun Feng's hand, holding it tightly in his palm. The man's body was trembling slightly. Yun Feng found this strange, but didn't ask any questions. Ling stood up and led the man out.

  "Teacher, did that person really know?" Xia Qing blinked her eyes. Yun Feng smiled, "Maybe he was probing, or maybe he really knew, who knows."

  Her gaze swept across the box on the table, and the egg lay quietly inside. If it was really a mermaid's egg, that would be good; if not, she might have made a loss.

  "Miss Yun, don't worry, this egg won't have any problems." Zero walked in again at this time and smiled slightly at Yun Feng, "The two that Miss Yun took photos of have also been sent over, please check them for me, Miss Yun."

  Golden mice and flower eagles were also sent in, large and small cages were all moved in. Yun Feng nodded, stretched out his hand and waved it, a small pile of top-grade ore was piled on the table, "Count them."

  Zero smiled and put all the top-grade ores into his storage space without counting them. "Miss Yun is an honored guest here, so there's no need to count. Farewell." Zero politely pushed open the door and left. Xia Qing ran to the outside of the flower eagle's cage, curiously looking at the huge flower eagle inside, which still had its eyes covered.

  "Sixth-grade strength, still need to wait for a few more days." Yun Feng patted Xia Qing's little head. Should let this child enter the Dragon Temple to practice, and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Soon, Xia Qing will be able to contract with the Flower Eagle, and also gain an extra guarantee.

  The falcon fluttered a few times in the cage and let out a few cries. Lin Yi walked over, "Don't worry, your future owner is a good person, won't mistreat you."

  After hearing that, the flower eagle completely quieted down, perhaps listening to Lan Yi's words. After all, Lan Yi was a predecessor, and Yun Feng was indeed good to him. With such a master as Yun Feng, Lan Yi also had some honor, and his own master's apprentice naturally couldn't be too bad either.

  Xia Qing had already taken the golden hamster out of its cage. The little creature seemed very affectionate towards Xia Qing, as if it knew its fate. As a magical pet, the golden hamster was indeed very cool.

  Xia Qing lovingly held the golden hamster in her hands, stroking its soft and long fur. Rou Wan stood on Yun Feng's shoulder, looking at the golden hamster with disdain. The golden hamster lifted its head and called out to Rou Wan in a friendly manner, but was met with an exceptionally ferocious expression from Rou Wan. The golden hamster was frightened and immediately hid into Xia Qing's arms, refusing to come out.

  Yun Feng took out a spare space ring, put the flower eagle into it, and handed it to Xia Qing. "Qingqing, only when you reach level 6 can you open this space ring, and only at level 6 can you contract with this flower eagle. Be careful not to be impatient."

  Xia Qing took the ring and nodded vigorously, Yun Feng smiled with relief. Looking at the box on the table, Yun Feng's heart was filled with some expectation. The egg of the Merfolk tribe, such a water-based magical beast, was also what he wanted.

  A few people returned to their hotel, and did not see that nine-level summoner with a resentful face. Although they didn't see the woman, her resentment in her heart might not let her give up so easily, but Yun Feng wasn't worried, relying on the woman's ninth-level strength, there was no threat.

  Back in the room, Yun Feng sealed off the space. Qu Lan Yi also removed the mask from his face, revealing his original handsome face again. The egg was quietly placed on the table, and the water elements surrounding it seemed even weaker. Qu Lan Yi pondered for a long time, "Little Feng Feng, you wouldn't be planning to hatch it yourself, would you?"

  Yun Feng's mouth twitched a few times, incubating an egg? Did he think he was a hen? But since it was an egg, the little guy inside had to come out of the shell.

  Yun Feng looked at the water elements lingering on the surface of the eggshell, which were becoming increasingly scarce. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. Clear water elements appeared from Yun Feng's palm, carrying a refreshing coolness, slowly wrapping around the surface of the eggshell until it was completely surrounded by Yun Feng's water elements.

  "Teacher, what's inside?" Xia Qing looked at the egg surrounded by icy blue color and was very curious about what was inside. What is the Mermaid tribe?

  "When it comes out from inside, we'll know what it is." Yun Feng's black eyes scanned the egg, a merfolk? Maybe some information can be obtained from the magical beast notes left by Master.

  In the following days, this egg was constantly surrounded by Yun Feng's water elements. At first, Yun Feng didn't know whether his method was correct or not, but he got the answer from his master's magical beast notes. Although there were only a few words describing the merfolk tribe, every sentence hit the key point, especially mentioning the merfolk tribe's incubation method.

  Using water element to incubate, Yun Feng really hit it off by chance.

  These days of incubation don't know if they have taken effect, this egg still has no reaction at all, and is quietly on the table. It is slightly rotating under the wrapping of water elements, which is the obvious change in these days.

  Xia Qing had always been curiously staring at the egg, eagerly waiting to see what was inside. Xiao Huo looked at Xia Qing's curious expression every day and couldn't help but yawn, "What can hatch from it? Isn't it just a demon beast? It's a mutated species, not bad at all!"

  About the matter of hatching that egg, Yun Feng planned to wait a few more days before going again. She was always a bit uneasy about this egg. Like this, nearly a week passed and the egg still didn't react. Perhaps incubation is an extremely long process, Yun Feng thought. If the eggs of the Merfolk could really be hatched so simply, that would be ridiculous.

  His own mentality might have been too impatient as well, Yun Feng smiled self-mockingly and added some more water elements with a flick of his hand. This egg seemed to be very fond of its water element, or else it wouldn't be gently swaying inside like a little baby.

  Qū Lán Yī was so bored that he wanted to add some light elements, but was stopped by Yún Fēng. The incubation process cannot have any accidents, and if this hard-won egg were to be scrapped, Yún Fēng would also be heartbroken.

  Just when everyone thought it would be a long and endless process, Xia Qing was the first to discover that something was wrong with the egg. "Teacher, teacher! It's moving!" Xia Qing's voice echoed in the room. Xiao Huo quickly came over, squinting his eyes at the egg wrapped in water elements, and indeed found that the egg was experiencing a slight tremor, as if something inside was about to come out!

  Yun Feng and Qu Lan Yi, as well as Lan Yi, also rushed over. Yun Feng's eyes carefully scanned the egg and found that it was indeed trembling. Water elements appeared from Yun Feng's palm, continuously pouring in. Perhaps the little guy inside was about to come out, she should help a bit.

  The water element continued to transport, the egg's movements became more and more intense, Xia Qing couldn't help but hold her breath, her big eyes staring wide, and Xiao Huo on the side also felt a little tense. Everyone was calm and focused, would the mermaid tribe really appear inside?

  "Crack!" One end of the eggshell finally cracked open. Xia Qing called out softly, then immediately covered her own mouth with her hand, and this moment seemed exceptionally tense and full of anticipation. Yun Feng was also holding his breath, the water element in his hand continuously flowing, not daring to slack off.

  "Crack, crack......" The eggshell was constantly being pierced by the thing inside, and pieces of eggshell fell off one after another, floating in the water. At this time, the cracks at the top of the egg were getting bigger and bigger, and the little guy inside seemed to want to make a final effort to break free from the constraints of the eggshell.

  "Crack!" A crisp sound, a large piece of eggshell finally fell off from the top of the egg. Yun Feng's black eyes looked over and saw two long arms with blue scales stretched out, and on those arms grew two pairs of transparent blue fish fins.

  The arm has come out, and it can be seen that the little guy wants to drill out. Xia Qing's big eyes flashed several times, and the bottom of her eyes was full of fondness. The small long arms of the little guy in the eggshell struggled to grab outside, looking a bit helpless, and finally only grabbed the edge of the eggshell, and his head slowly came out.

  It was a face that was almost indistinguishable from humans, with features very close to those of humans, but also with obvious differences. Although it looked similar, it still exuded the ferocity of a magical beast.

  A small face with blue specks of light, which should be the scales of a blue fish. The ears were shaped like fins and were transparent blue. The small mouth was slightly open in the water element, revealing sharp teeth. A pair of eyes were tightly closed, and after the head came out, the body also struggled to come out, "Splash!" After a sound, the body completely emerged from the egg. At this time, Yun Feng had also thoroughly seen its entire appearance.

  The upper body of the child presents a human shape, but the lower body is clearly a merman's characteristic, with a beautiful and pretty fish tail. The two sides of the fish tail still have fins, and the end of the fish tail has some transparent blue stripes, shining with a little light. When this little guy completely left the egg, his body was still surrounded by water elements, and many pairs of eyes were watching this newly hatched little guy. However, the little thing's body turned around, directly finding the direction of Yun Feng, those tightly closed eyes also slowly opened, and directly stared at Yun Feng.

  Those were a pair of beautiful and enchanting eyes, presenting an eerie beauty. Yun Feng's black pupils stared at the pair of eyes in front of her, and her breathing suddenly tightened. Qu Lan Yi walked up and covered Yun Feng's eyes with his hand, blocking her line of sight, which finally made her breathing stabilize a bit.

  "With this little thing staring at me, it's going to be fatal." Qu Lan Yi whispered a few words and slowly put down her palm. The small thing wrapped in water elements blinked its eyes several times, Yun Feng stabilized his mind and looked over. A pair of deep blue eyes, but the pupils turned into a vertical line, Yun Feng's breathing tightened again, this is...!

  "Teacher, is this a Merrow?" Xia Qing asked cautiously, afraid of scaring the little creature in the water element. Xiao Huo and Lan Yi were also surprised, as land-based magic beasts, they had never seen a water-based magic beast, especially the Merrow tribe, only heard of it. After all, they lived at the bottom of the endless sea, where they couldn't go.

  "No, it's not." Yun Feng took a deep breath and finally spoke slowly. Qu Lan Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise, Yun Feng slowly withdrew the water element, and the little thing swam towards him with its fish tail wagging. The meatball on his shoulder called out softly, and the little thing suddenly lifted its head and even bared its teeth at the meatball, revealing its wild nature, the sharpness of its teeth seemingly not much different from that of the meatball.

  Yun Feng slowly stretched out his hand, and the little thing approached him intimately. The fish tail wrapped around Yun Feng's waist, and the upper body leaned in, directly stretching out both hands to hug Yun Feng tightly.

  The little thing's face was buried in Yun Feng's neck, with Rou Yu standing on the other side, looking very annoyed. However, Xiao Wu didn't care at all, its transparent blue fins moved slightly, seemingly very satisfied with the current situation.

  "Isn't it a mermaid? What is it then?" Qing Lanyi's face turned dark, and another sticky thing appeared on Xiao Fengfeng, and the light bulb increased by one!

  Yun Feng's hand slowly stroked the fish fin on the tail, and the fin trembled slightly, allowing Yun Feng to caress it. Yun Feng slowly opened his mouth, "It's not a mermaid, it's a sea demon."

  Yun Feng recalled the records of the ancient magic beast notes left by his ancestors, about the brief records of the Merfolk tribe. The Merfolk tribe had a unique branch, which was caused by bloodline variation, and they were the most aggressive and ferocious variant branch in the Merfolk tribe, known as the Sea Witches.

  The mermaid's existence in the merman tribe is equivalent to the lion eagle's existence in the eagle tribe. The mermaid is a bloodline variation, can be said to be more precious, and also the most aggressive and ferocious of the merman. Yun Feng's black eyes flashed, looking at the little thing in her arms, thinking about the content added by her master in that magical beast notebook, this should be her master's evaluation of the mermaid.

  Aquatic demon, belonging to the mermaid as the leader.

  "Master, it's better to wait until it grows some more before making a contract. Otherwise, the demon beast may be harmed due to excessive energy surge." Ling Yi said on the side. Yun Feng nodded, it's impossible to achieve everything at once, everything still needs to come slowly.

  "Teacher, can I touch it?" Xia Qing asked excitedly, but was pulled back by Xiao Huo. His pure black eyes stared at the all-blue sea monster, and his expression was somewhat tense. Lan Yi on the side also shook her head, her tone serious, "Don't get close to it, sea monsters are ferocious and violent. Unless absolutely necessary, no one except the master should approach it."

  Digression

  Haha, today I wrote 7,000 words, I'll save up my energy for the next update and take a break. By the way, this egg has hatched, is everyone satisfied with what's inside? Hehehe, I love fins, so cute!
