Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 190: Thunder Prison Liquan Spear

The etiquette lady pushed the second item up. From the shape of the covering cloth, it can be seen that the size of this item is unusually large.

Ning Lan walked to the front of the auction table, her pretty face flushed. She cleared her throat and said, "The second item is something very familiar to soul masters. Ning Lan never keeps things in suspense, so I'll reveal its true identity to everyone now."

"Rare metal, blue copper, total amount is two tons. Dear guests, you can see its quality. The auction will start here in five minutes." Ning Lan said as she slowly walked down the auction table.

When Wu Xuan heard about rare metals, he lost interest instantly and began to slowly flip through the booklet the middle-aged steward had given him. After all, there wasn't much that could interest him.

Not long after, a maid came towards Wu Xuan holding a tray, on which was placed the seventh-level milk bottle that Wu Xuan had auctioned earlier.

Wu Xuan picked up the bottle from the tray and observed it for a moment, nodded, then took out two platinum cards from the storage soul guide and placed them on the tray.

A platinum card has a face value of one million gold soul coins.

The subsequent lots, including the Blue Copper, held little interest for Wu Xuan. They were either ranged attack soul guides, melee soul guides, or large quantities of rare metals. In the Sun-Moon Empire's auction house, soul bones were extremely rare and precious treasures. How could anyone possibly put them up for auction?

"Next is the seventh item, the Thunder Prison Liquan Spear. This is a level seven peak melee soul guide device." Ning Lan's beautiful and pleasant voice came out from the self-amplifying soul guide device.

"I believe that all the distinguished guests have already had questions. This Thunder Prison Liquan Spear clearly has eight core formations around it, but why is it only a seventh-level peak soul guide weapon?"

"Dear guests, you have a question. Ning Lan had the same question before. According to the seller who entrusted us with the task, this Thunder Prison Liquan Spear was manufactured using an unprecedented new refining technique. The eighth-level soul master who crafted this spear forged a 20,000-year-old thunder-attributed soul beast, the Thunder Prison Dragon."

"Because that master was refining it for the first time, during the final step of tempering the spear with dragon blood, he was careless and failed to completely suppress the remnant soul of the Thunder Prison Dragon, causing his soul to suffer a backlash and unfortunately die. As a result, the Thunder Prison Liquan Spear was unable to officially transform into an eighth-level soul guide, and only remained at the peak of the seventh level. Later, I heard that a ninth-level soul guide master tried to reforge it, but unfortunately it also ended in failure."

"This seventh-level pinnacle soul tool, the Thunder Prison Liquan Spear, brings with it the effects of the Thunder Prison Dragon and Sky-High Thunder with every strike. These effects can be combined with any other attacking soul skills of the same rank. It's practically unmatched among soul tools of the same tier. However, the remnant soul of the Thunder Prison Dragon can easily backfire on the user, placing a high test on their abilities. This is the general outline of the Thunder Prison Liquan Spear. You'll have ten minutes to watch."

Wu Xuan admired the spear on the soul guide screen. The Thunder Prison Liquan Spear was a full 11.3 feet long, a deep blue in color. Its shaft was straight, covered in scale-like markings. The sharp tip of the blade radiated a chilling cold light. Furthermore, the tip itself was covered in ferociously tiny scales, forming a serrated pattern. Imagine the devastating damage it would inflict if struck.

"Thunder Spring Gold? Soul-Forging Silver? What kind of rare metal is this?" Wu Xuan muttered to himself as he looked at the introduction in the booklet beside him.

What Wu Xuan didn't notice was that when the bidders in other seats saw these two rare metals, their eyes lit up red.

These two are top-tier treasures among rare metals. The total value of these two rare metals alone is probably no less than 400,000 gold soul coins.

"Viewing time is up. The starting price for the Thunder Prison Liquan Spear is one million gold soul coins. Each bid increase must be no less than ten thousand gold soul coins. The bidding begins." Ning Lan had a perfect smile, but in fact, she was not excited at all.

As expected by Ning Lan, this pinnacle of seventh-level soul guides ended up with no one responding.

The starting price was one million gold soul coins. You could tell right away that the price was ridiculously high. No one who could enter the auction was a fool. No one wanted to buy a weapon that would backfire on its master, so it was natural that the auction was a cold one.

"One million and one hundred thousand gold soul coins!" Wu Xuan wrote the price directly on the soul guide screen next to him.

Time passed by minute by minute, and just when Ning Lan gave up hope, an unexpected number appeared on the screen.

"Bang! Deal!"

Ning Lan skipped the three bids and made the final decision.

Looking at the strange looks from the people around him, Wu Xuan still had no reaction, because the secret soul bone he had been thinking about was about to appear next.

"The next item to be auctioned is the eighth!" Ning Lan slowly lifted the silk covering it, and a strange silver-gray skeleton came into everyone's sight.

"The eighth lot is a ten-thousand-year-old mystical soul bone from the left leg. Its skill is a fifty-percent strength boost. I'll give you ten minutes to observe." Ning Lan then left the auction table. Before the waiter could approach, Wu Xuan had already made his way to the back of the room.

Looking at the waiter in front of him, Wu Xuan skillfully took out the money to pay and took away the Leiyu Liquan Gun.

After returning to his seat, Wu Xuan began to wait for the auction of the secret soul bone.

"Dear guests, the starting price of the Ten Thousand Years Secret Soul Bone is five million gold soul coins. Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand gold soul coins. The bidding begins." Ning Lan said with a professional smile.

"Five million and one million!"

"Five million three hundred thousand!"

"."

This ten-thousand-year-old arcane soul bone didn't seem particularly popular, with bids being extremely sparse. Indeed, the Sun-Moon Empire's soul masters weren't particularly interested in the so-called strength-boosting arcane soul bones. If this soul bone was specifically for soul power amplification, that would be a different story; high-ranking soul masters would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it.

"Six and a half million!" Wu Xuan, who had no interest in slowly raising the price, directly added one million gold soul coins to the original price.

The huge number on the soul guide screen stunned everyone in the hall below. Even the VIPs in the box couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wu Xuan's position.

"Six and a half million, once!"

"Six and a half million, twice!"

"Six and a half million, three times! Deal!" As Ning Lan announced the price, Wu Xuan finally got the secret soul bone he had been longing for.

"Next up is the ninth item at our Aodu Auction House, the ninth-level soul guide, the Destruction Cannon."

After paying, Wu Xuan stroked the arcane soul bone in his palm, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. With this arcane soul bone, he could completely fuse the 297,000-year-old Silver Scaled Griffin soul bone in his left leg with the 98,000-year-old Silver Scaled Griffin soul bone he had just acquired.

The next two items were actually both ninth-level soul guides. Although they were not produced by Mingdetang, the fact that they could auction ninth-level soul guides was enough to prove the strength of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

The finale was two ninth-level soul guides. No wonder the VIP room above hardly made any bids for the previous items.

If you want to take away a ninth-level soul guide, the inspections are very strict. First of all, you have to prove that you are from the Sun-Moon Empire. Secondly, the buyer must have a large amount of assets that far exceed the ninth-level soul guide in a city at the main city level. Once the ninth-level soul guide you bought appears in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the buyer’s entire family will be killed at best, and at worst, all nine clans will be implicated.

This is also the reason why Wu Xuan never thought about buying a ninth-level soul guide.

In the end, the final prices of the two ninth-level soul guides exceeded tens of millions. Compared with this, the money Wu Xuan spent was nothing.

The auction is over!
After the show, Wu Xuan saw a familiar figure at the gate of the Aodu Auction House. Wasn't it the middle-aged manager?

The middle-aged steward stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang! Are you satisfied with tonight's harvest?"

"That's right! It's worth the trip tonight!" Wu Xuan said with a smile.

"Mr. Yang! This is the red-level VIP card of our Aodu Chamber of Commerce. If you need anything in the future, Mr. Yang, you can use this card to come to our Aodu Chamber of Commerce to enjoy a 20% discount." The middle-aged manager respectfully handed the card to Wu Xuan.

"Thank you very much!" Wu Xuan reached out to take the card and then turned and left.
