"Maidemus, what's wrong?"
Bai E noticed Maidemus's unusual behavior and hurriedly asked.
Maidemus shook his head, trying to shake off the map's influence.
Apart from Bei Bei and the others, who were purely natural and unadulterated humans, everyone else actually possessed the bloodline of the Golden Lion Mastiff.
After all, the Golden Lion Mastiff bloodline was immune to bloodline suppression, a crucial characteristic in a world like Douluo Continent.
However, Xia Die and the others had very little Golden Lion Mastiff bloodline and couldn't feel the map's attraction.
Maidemus's martial soul was primarily the Golden Lion Mastiff, so he was most affected.
"…It's nothing."
"I want this map."
Maidemus looked earnestly at Aglaia and Wang Yan.
Seeing the other person's reaction, Aglaia knew that the map was specially prepared by some romantic ancient scholar from another dimension, and immediately said,
"Of course."
"Three hundred thousand gold soul coins."
Qingya immediately manipulated the screen, and the bidding amount at the top immediately jumped to three hundred thousand gold soul coins.
However, soon, the second person started to raise the price, and the gold soul coins jumped to four hundred thousand.
"Brother, why are you bidding on this crappy map?"
In another almost luxurious private room, Xiao Hongchen casually raised the price, while Meng Hongchen blinked her blue eyes and looked at her brother in confusion.
"Little sister."
"It's a map!" "
Isn't that how it's written in novels on the magic network?
What if it records some earth-shattering secret?"
"Besides, didn't the auctioneer say that?"
"It's not like we're short of money!"
Xiao Hongchen said righteously.
Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyebrows twitched wildly. She grabbed Xiao Hongchen's collar and shook her violently, saying,
"Did you drink so much cola that you lost your mind?"
"Don't you even look at the state of that map?!"
You actually believe the nonsense from the magic network novel and the auctioneer?!"
"A soul bone!"
"Look me in the eye and tell me, what does the Xilu City textbook say?"
"Even if it's a 100,000-year-old soul bone that's been oxidized by the air for 10,000 years without any protection! And no one has absorbed it or nourished it with soul power during that time!"
"Can this kind of old bone, which is even more disgusting than the herring cans from Tianhai City, still be used?!"
"Aren't you afraid that you'll explode and die after absorbing it?!"
"And a self-created soul skill! Does a self-created soul skill from 10,000 years ago have any reference value?"
"We are soul mentors! Not soul masters!!"
Xiao Hongchen's head was throbbing from Meng Hongchen's nagging.
After pushing her away, she said with a sullen face,
"I know, it's just for fun."
"Let's see if there are any bids later. If there are, I'll let him have it."
As soon as the words were spoken, the number on the screen changed to 600,000 gold soul coins.
Xiao Hongchen clicked his tongue and said,
"Which family's young master or young lady is this?"
"Something with a starting bid of 200,000 gold soul coins, and they're just throwing it up for 200,000 gold soul coins?"
"What a sucker."
"Give it to him, give it to him."
"Let's save the money for later."
Inside Auction Hall One, the 600,000 gold soul coins remained unchanged for a minute.
A brilliant golden light appeared on their screens, signifying that they had successfully won the item.
Xu Jiujiu then took out the second item for auction: a book with a blue vortex on its cover.
At that moment, Xia, Aglaia, and Feng Jin immediately recognized it as an alchemical artifact.
Holding the book with an enthusiastic tone, Xu Jiujiu deliberately stirred up everyone's enthusiasm, saying,
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
"Even in our Starlight Auction House, this is the first time we've seen this book!"
"This book isn't a soul tool, but an item from a completely new and unknown system!"
"On the cover, there's an ancient Douluo phrase that translates to 'Book of Records,' and below it, a small line of text means 'King Solomon!'"
"Without a doubt, this is a creation of a lost civilization on the Douluo Continent! It was probably made by a king." "
This king must have been a handsome and talented genius, otherwise how could he have created such a miracle?"
After the atmosphere was sufficiently stirred up, Xu Jiujiu began to introduce the book's functions.
"According to our auction house's tests! This magical item has the ability to record soul skills!"
"Any soul skill below the fifth ring can be recorded in this book!
Then you can release it using your own soul power!"
"Each page can record one soul skill."
"And this book has a total of fifty pages."
"The auction house used three pages for testing. "
"Even so, this book can still record forty-seven soul skills!"
"A truly miraculous item!"
"The starting bid for this book is five million gold soul coins!"
The first auction item was just a warm-up; the second item is one of the highlights of this auction.
When Xu Jiujiu and Xu Jiawei first saw this book, they both wanted to keep it for themselves, but due to Huo Yuhao's strong insistence, they had to put it up for auction.
The main reason was that Huo Yuhao wanted the continent to gradually become familiar with alchemy formulas.
This way, when the magic network opened up alchemy in the future, it wouldn't cause too much turmoil.
Xu Jiawei had already arranged for people at the auction house to bid for this item themselves.
As soon as Xu Jiujiu finished speaking, everyone in the auction hall stood up, their eyes filled with shock.
Xiao Hongchen stared solemnly at the book on the screen with its cover swirling with a blue vortex, muttering to himself,
"Records Soul Skills?!"
"Adding the three from the auction house, that's a total of fifty Soul Skills?!"
"Even if they're only below the fifth ring, that's still fifty Soul Skills!
A Title Douluo might only have nine Soul Skills in their entire life."
"Fifty Soul Skills stacked together, powered by Dream Coins! How terrifying would the user be?"
"King Solomon? I've never heard of such a person in history!"
Ma Rulong looked at the book of records in disbelief and hurriedly asked,
"How much money do we have?"
Meng Hongchen said solemnly,
"Two hundred million."
"I don't know if that's enough."
The team leader, Teacher Ma, also stood up and said,
"This book must be bought!"
"If we don't have enough money, I'll sell some Soul Tools, even if it's a level nine Soul Tool, I'll buy it!"
"I don't believe anyone can have as much money as our Sun Moon Royal Academy!"
In a secluded room, Zong Yutao and Lang Ya, who had once attempted to invade Xilu City, swallowed hard and said:
"Lang Ya, do we have the money to buy this thing?"
Lang Ya glanced at him and said,
"Nonsense!"
"This thing is obviously a hot commodity. Go and inform the sect leader."
"Our Body Sect has never paid for anything before."
"Have the sect leader bring people over, and we'll buy it for free."
Yu Tao said with a wicked smile,
"Absolutely."
"If we combine this kind of good stuff with those juniors like Su Nuo, won't the future be unpredictable?"
In the VIP room of the auction house, Xu Jiawei sat on the red sofa, looking at the screen above, rubbing his two thumbs together.
"King Solomon..."
"Is this a lost history of the continent?"
"This creation isn't a soul tool, nor a soul skill, nor a soul bone."
"What kind of technology is this? A completely new path!"
"Pass down the word: lock this auction item securely at all costs."
"If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy tries to trade it for a soul tool, even if it's a level nine one, refuse them."
"The Star Luo Empire is determined to have this book!"
"Also, have someone search through all the books in the national treasury and find records about King Solomon."
The two guards immediately bowed and left through the passageway.
Xu Jiawei saw a completely new path in this book—a completely new system, distinct from the systems of soul masters and soul masters!
If they could obtain this system first, the rise of the Star Luo Empire would be just around the corner!
"There must be more similar things to this passion, right?"
"Lingbing Douluo may have found the ruins of an ancient kingdom."
"I remember there seems to be a group of tomb raiders within the Star Luo Empire who appeared because of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light.'
Perhaps we can use them to find out if there are any related ruins within our Star Luo Empire."
The emperor's whispers echoed in the room, his azure eyes growing brighter. In
Auction Hall Seven, Bei Bei and the others who were unaware of the truth also stood up.
Wang Yan excitedly looked at the book and said,
"A miracle!"
"It truly is a miracle!"
"We must bid for this at all costs!"
"Compared to the records of soul skills, this book represents a completely new path!"
"Director Aglaia!"
"We must get it!"
Aglaia smiled and nodded, saying,
"Teacher Wang Yan, calm down, we have plenty of funds."
Wang Yan calmed himself down and said,
"I lost my composure, please forgive me."
"I was just too…"
He was a little incoherent.
Xia, fiddling with the Soul Power Cube in her hand, said,
"It's normal. A scholar would be overjoyed to encounter entirely new knowledge. However, this book isn't just something we want."
"A fierce battle is about to begin."
"Go and inform Elder Song and Elder Zhuang."
Feng Jin, on the other hand, looked like she couldn't contain herself.
She had seen that book before, and more than just seen it.
Roman had taken out that book countless times, using it as an example to explain in detail the uses of water element inscriptions, air element inscriptions, and spirit element inscriptions in alchemy.
She was the one who wrote King Solomon's name.
At the time, Roman was eating strawberry cake and had cream on his hands, so she did it for him.
"What ancient kingdom?!" "
Dr. Roman is just a doctor! King Solomon is Dr. Roman's pen name!"
Xia Die gently pulled Feng Jin's hand and whispered,
"Feng Jin, those words look like your handwriting."
Feng Jin was so startled that her pigtails stood up, and she quickly waved her hands, saying,
"Coincidence, coincidence!"
"By the way, Die Bao, how do you observe so carefully?"
Xia Die pinched the hem of her skirt, a little embarrassed.
She liked to observe her friends' various habits and hobbies, including their handwriting.
Because of this, she could give her friends handmade gifts when they had birthdays.
She had already guessed that this book was probably related to Feng Jin, because alchemy was her father's ability, and she had also studied it a little.
It's just that she couldn't create extraordinary items.
