“Starting price, ten million.”
It had arrived.
Upon hearing the item introduced by the auctioneer, joy immediately surged in Zhou Ming’s heart.
The Worm Potion was a high-grade potion refined using Fusion Worms as material.
This type of creature was extremely special. Its initial form looked like a silkworm larva. Once it came into contact with the genes of another organism, it would redevelop using the absorbed genes as the main body.
To refine a Worm Potion, an initial-state Fusion Worm had to be used as the material, making it exceedingly rare.
The effect of the Worm Potion was very simple: it reduced the rejection between two fused genetic bloodlines.
This potion was also something Professional Beast Tamers urgently needed.
This was because most Beast Tamers’ beasts came from low-grade Ferocious Beasts, whose inherent bloodline potential was limited.
After a Beast Tamer advanced to an official profession, if they wanted to continue improving their strength, they had to consider the potential of their beasts.
Replacing a beast would damage Spiritual Power, and would also require enormous amounts of time, energy, and resources to re-cultivate their beast.
Their strength would even fall into a trough, barely stronger than an Apprentice Beast Tamer.
Their combat style, beast system, mastered secret techniques, and so on would all need to be overturned and rebuilt from scratch.
Thus, a method was born to enhance one’s beast potential through the fusion of other bloodlines.
This kind of cultivation method was also the non-transmitted secret of every major power, because how to cultivate, the direction of cultivation, would all affect a Beast Tamer’s development.
Major powers with long-standing inheritances all possessed their own unique legacies.
These legacies were not advancement systems, but complete supporting frameworks of secret techniques, combat skills, cultivation directions, bloodline selection, and bloodline fusion methods and ratios.
If a family controlled Ferocious Beasts of the same species, then there was a high probability that this family had mastered a complete corresponding legacy.
The Blue Star Alliance had been established for several hundred years. Its development of the Beast Taming system was no longer like the early days of the Alliance, where beasts were purely treated as hired muscle.
Moreover, as the trend of genetic research rose, the price of such potions had also increased considerably.
The most crucial element of the Half-Beastman class advancement ritual was precisely the Fusion Worm.
And the effects brought by the Worm Potion were clearly better than directly using a Fusion Worm.
However, the appearance of a Worm Potion here meant that its origin was certainly problematic. It was most likely spoils obtained through murder and robbery.
But for Zhou Ming, he did not care whether it was stolen goods or not. As long as the potion’s effect was not an issue, that was enough.
He had not purchased the Thunder Type-3 Revolver merely to deal with low-grade Ferocious Beasts, or ordinary Beast Tamers engaging in Black Market infighting.
Even if he had to spend all the money and resources on his body today, he would still bid down the Worm Potion before him.
While Zhou Ming was lost in thought, the price of the Worm Potion broke past fifteen million.
There were few bidders, but the frequency of bids was not low.
Seeing this, Zhou Ming also immediately opened his mouth.
“Twenty million.”
