The first auction item is an eighth-level Soul-guiding Device from Mingde Hall.
The auction for the Tiger Dominator Soul Refining Blade was very intense, with Dai Yaoheng's bid being the most fervent.
This Tiger Dominator Soul Refining Blade is perfectly suited to his Evil-eyed White Tiger Martial Soul, and he is determined to win it.
Before the auction, he even informed Wang Yan that he would pay for it himself.
The starting price was six hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins, but it eventually soared to one million five hundred sixty thousand Golden Soul Coins.
"The blade is worth at most one million three hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins, at Sun and Moon Empire, it would fetch at most a million Golden Soul Coins. I wonder which fool is bidding so enthusiastically," Xiao Hongchen muttered.
The auction house was divided into separate rooms, making it impossible to see each other's identities, and bids were made via Soul-guiding Screens.
"The next auction item is a Ranking Carving Knife."
"Ranking Carving Knife!"
Xiao Hongchen's interest was piqued, and he immediately sat up, staring at the display platform on the screen.
"Tch, so it's a Spirit-Eating Carving Knife. Not even a dog would want it."
As soon as Xiao Hongchen saw the carving knife, he recognized its origin, lay back down, and lost interest.
The Spirit-Eating Carving Knife has a powerful backlash.
As for simply collecting it, that's not worth it either.
Even though it's a Ranking Carving Knife, having it at home would be too tempting to resist using.
The level of Soul-guiding Devices often hits a bottleneck, and one might think to switch to a better carving knife to reduce the difficulty.
Just this once.
The last time.
This is a deadly temptation.
"The starting bid for the Spirit-Eating Carving Knife is ten thousand Golden Soul Coins, with each increment no less than five thousand Golden Soul Coins."
This time there was a lull in the auction, and no one chose to bid.
After all, Soul Guides are determined not to touch it, and non-Soul Guides have no reason to buy such a dangerous weapon.
"No esteemed guests interested in the Spirit-Eating Carving Knife? Ah, it looks like the carving knife will go unsold again."
"Ten thousand!"
Su Yu bid.
"What? Su Yu, don't—"
Xiao Hongchen originally wanted to say Su Yu had lost his mind, but then he remembered Su Yu's Ultimate Life and stopped halfway.
However, aside from him and Meng Hongchen, the rest of the Sun and Moon Royal Team were unaware of Su Yu's Ultimate Life.
"Su Yu, don't harbor any illusions.
Every previous owner of the Spirit-Eating Carving Knife also harbored illusions hoping it would work, but the end result was always tragic."
"Elder Ma, don't worry, I won't gamble my life."
Saying this, Su Yu quietly took out a token for Elder Ma to see.
Elder Ma indeed saw the token.
"I see."
So he's Elder Kong's student.
Elder Ma stopped trying to dissuade Su Yu.
And the Spirit-Eating Carving Knife successfully went into Su Yu's hands.
The carving knife was placed in a Soul-guiding Device container with sealing capabilities, isolating the murderous aura of the Spirit-Eating Carving Knife.
Su Yu didn't rush to open it, storing it in his Storage Soul-guiding Device, eagerly awaiting the next auction item.
...
The auction has a large number of Soul-guiding Devices for sale, all produced by Mingde Hall.
Mingde Hall products indicate a high quality assurance for Soul-guiding Devices, both in terms of technology and power.
All these Soul-guiding Devices were brought by Elder Ma.
On one hand, to showcase his Soul-guiding technology and intimidate Xingluo Empire.
On the other hand, to make some money.
As Xiao Hongchen said, Tiger Dominator Soul Refining Blade auctioned at Sun and Moon Empire would only reach a million Golden Soul Coins at most, and in Xingluo Empire typically has a limit price of one million three hundred thousand.
The final price was astonishing, reaching one million five hundred sixty thousand.
There's no help for that, Mingde Hall products, plus eighth-level Soul-guiding Devices, are rare in the enemy nation Xingluo Empire, one might encounter only once in a lifetime.
If it suits oneself, anyhow, would spare no expense to bid for it.
The same logic applies to other Soul-guiding Devices.
At Xingluo Empire, the auction prices could generally rise by thirty percent.
As for the technology involved, Mingde Hall dared to present it, they aren't afraid of it being cracked.
All are discarded items.
Moreover, during research, errors inevitably occur, and once errors happen, Mingde Hall's hidden actions can definitely take the lives of many outstanding Soul Guides here.
...
"Next, is our last auction item for today, and it's also our most precious auction item."
Su Yu's expression turned serious.
What's missing?
He came here with anticipation, yet something was still missing.
The Spirit-Eating Carving Knife is in hand, is it the Ice Scorpion Soul Bone missing or the Snow Empress' Embryo?
The Soul Bone can be omitted, but the Snow Empress' Embryo should not go wrong.
However, whatever he fears will come to pass.
"Our final climax item is a Soul Bone."
No Snow Empress' Embryo.
What is Xingluo Empire thinking?
Or did the Soul Guides who originally captured and sealed the Snow Empress choose not to hand over the God-Sealing Platform to the Xingluo Royal Auction House?
Su Yu's mind flashed with various thoughts.
Meanwhile, Xu Jiujiu had already finished describing the Ice Scorpion Soul Bone's features.
Meng Hongchen's eyes shone brightly, very moved by the effects of the Ice Scorpion Soul Bone.
Unfortunately, this Ice Scorpion Soul Bone is purely ice attribute, even Ultimate Ice attribute.
Who knows if absorbing it would disrupt the balance of her Ice and Fire attributes within her.
Especially the Cold Fire Poison.
Once the poison gets out of control, this Soul Bone becomes a death warrant instead.
However, there is a chance of success.
After all, it's Ultimate Ice, perhaps it could help her transform the Martial Soul, turning ice attribute into Ultimate Ice.
Fire attribute and the Cold Fire Poison are completely excluded.
This is also a method.
Meng Hongchen is torn.
However, being torn doesn't affect her decision to acquire this Soul Bone.
Whether to absorb it or not isn't the consideration, acquiring it first is.
"Elder Ma, can you help me bid for this Soul Bone?"
"Sure!"
Su Yu watched the entire process from the side.
He didn't point out the issues with the Ice Scorpion Soul Bone.
First, it's a question of trust, second, the source of information is difficult to explain.
"Now, we begin the auction for a Left Arm Bone from a Five Thousand Year old Ice Scorpion.
The starting bid is twelve million, with each increment no less than five hundred thousand!"
This could be said to be among the highest starting prices in the history of the Xingluo Royal Auction House.
The final price might even compare to three ninth-level Soul-guiding devices.
But the value of Soul Bone itself is evident; if it matches oneself, even a Super Douluo might exhaust their resources to obtain it.
"Fifteen million!"
Elder Ma took the lead in bidding.
The first bid upped the price to fifteen million, as if declaring that he is determined to win this Soul Bone.
Indeed, many were intimidated by his actions.
"Sixteen million!"
Yet someone still chose to compete with Elder Ma.
"Twenty million!"
Elder Ma raised the bid again, making the auction hall fall silent.
In the room where Shrek resides.
Wang Yan's eyes on the glaring twenty-million digits, conflicted internally.
