Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 176: Sky-high Embryo, Special Coin
I was hesitant because I didn't have a clear plan for the Xuedi embryo.
The first thing he wanted to do was to obtain it. He actually didn't really want to become a member of the Xingluo Empire's Royal Worship Hall directly because of this.
It's not worth signing a contract to sell yourself just for this embryo.
Although this indenture was of a higher level, and sounded good, it included royal tribute, high status, and extremely high welfare benefits.
He was not very willing to do so, and preferred to be free.
He still couldn't get the Snow Emperor embryo, so he could only think of a way to steal it later.
"Forget it. The most important thing is to use the limited space for soul bones and leave a soul bone with space and time attributes." Shi Yu finally decided to give up.
This spirit bone is indeed of limited help to me, and there is no need to obtain it.
This soul bone is a treasure, but not all treasures must be obtained. You need to consider whether it is suitable.
He chose to give up, while Huo Yuhao communicated with Elder Xuan, hoping that the academy could help him obtain the soul bone.
Elder Xuan agreed. This soul bone was indeed rare and very suitable for Huo Yuhao. It would be a good idea to sell it to Huo Yuhao.
Of course, they wouldn't give it directly to him. The academy wouldn't be that generous.
"I will take this soul bone first. I will consider giving it to you as a reward if you make outstanding contributions to the academy in the future," Elder Xuan said to Huo Yuhao.
"Okay." Huo Yuhao was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything and agreed.
Shi Yu just watched quietly and said nothing.
Huo Yuhao also revealed the problem with this spirit bone, just as in the original story, and that it has certain requirements for the absorber.
This discouraged many people from bidding. Ultimate Ice Soul Masters weren't easy to come by, meaning they might just end up using this Soul Bone as a mere decoration. This naturally discouraged many people.
Some people are unwilling to give up and want to buy it back to try it out. If it doesn't work, they can sell it without losing anything.
In the end, the price of this soul bone still reached 10 million, but it was just under 1 million, and was successfully acquired by Xuan Lao.
Shrek Academy is definitely wealthy, so spending tens of millions to buy a soul bone is no problem.
As Master Xuan, he can mobilize tens of millions of dollars in the academy's funds.
After this soul bone auction, it was time for today's finale, a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.
The soul beast embryo was put on the auction block, which attracted huge attention. Many people looked at the soul beast embryo eagerly, their hearts fluttering.
"This soul beast embryo is not simple." Old Xuan stared at the sealed soul beast embryo without blinking, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Carefully sensing the aura emanating from the soul beast embryo, he felt a subtle sense of danger.
This is not something that an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast can possess. The age of this soul beast may be even higher than expected.
The soul beast that even a strong man of his level felt dangerous must be at least over 300,000 years old.
Hearing what Master Xuan said, Shi Yu's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Master Xuan, should we take a picture of this soul beast embryo?"

Xuan Lao nodded, he really wanted to try.
Then he looked at Shi Yu and chuckled, "You are not also thinking of absorbing and fusing this soul beast embryo to create a second martial soul, are you?"

"If we could really have an extra martial spirit, anyone would want it," Shi Yu said.
But Master Xuan shook his head and said, "I advise you to give up this idea. It is possible, but the probability of success is less than one percent."

"This is not a joke. If you fail, you will most likely become disabled or even die."

"It's not worth taking such a big risk. You are already very talented, there is no need to take such a risk."

"So dangerous?" Shi Yu hadn't expected the success rate to be so low.
If that's the case, then he really can't just try it casually. He doesn't want to get himself killed.
"I'm not trying to scare you, it's the truth," said Elder Xuan seriously.
"Don't even think about fusing it with it and absorbing it into a martial spirit, but you can still consider killing it directly to obtain spirit rings and spirit bones."

"The soul rings and soul bones produced by this soul beast embryo are of such high quality that even this old man would be tempted."

"It's a pity that I can no longer absorb spirit rings and spirit bones," said Elder Xuan with a sigh.
But he still wanted to participate in the auction.
The bidding started quickly, and the price quickly broke through 50 million. Elder Xuan directly called the price to 70 million, which was also his bottom line. If the price exceeded this, he would give up immediately.
Although these spirit rings and spirit bones are indeed precious, their actual value is definitely more than this figure.
But Shrek Academy's money didn't just come from the wind, it couldn't be used indefinitely.
The most important thing was that he also realized something was amiss. Two parties were bidding with a very determined attitude, both of them showing a determination to win.
He might not succeed if he continued, so it would be better to just give his expected price and give up if he was unsuccessful.
"Seventy-five million" someone soon raised the price. Xuan Lao decisively gave up. Let them compete if they want.
Shi Yu watched with interest the other two companies bidding fiercely. One of them should be Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Academy.
The other party is probably not the Body Sect. After this incident, the Body Sect probably doesn't dare to operate in Xingluo City.
It's likely that the Xingluo Royal Family is bidding, hoping to raise the price so they can acquire more high-end soul guides.
Later on, the price increase slowed down and bids were made more cautiously.
But the numbers they called out were still frightening: 96 million, 97 million, 100 million.
When the 100 million was called out, the whole audience exclaimed in amazement. These prominent bidders were all shocked by the number.
Even Elder Xuan's brows twitched. He really dared to make such a high bid.
"Who on earth is so wealthy and powerful? Someone from the Sun-Moon Empire?" Elder Xuan asked doubtfully.
The people of the Sun-Moon Empire are generally wealthy, especially those who work in the soul guide industry, who are extremely wealthy.
This is also the price that the wealthy people in the Sun Moon Empire would offer.
The price continued to rise, finally settling at 110 million. The person who offered this price was Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Empire.
His hands were shaking when he called out the price, which was far beyond his expectations.
But as long as I can become a twin spirit master through this embryo, then it will all be worth it.
With the finale of the auction item finally found its home, the auction ended. Shi Yu, Xuan Lao, and the others went backstage to check out and take away the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.
"I still have to go to Hall 4 to participate in an auction. Why don't you go back first?" After paying the bill, Shi Yu said to Xuan Lao and others.
"Let's go together. If you don't have money, the academy can pay for you. There's no need to keep owing the Xingluo Empire." said Master Xuan.
"Okay," Shi Yu thought about it and nodded.
On the way, Jiang Nannan curiously asked what he was bidding on.
"It's just an antique copper coin. I think it's pretty nice and has some collectible value, so I wanted to buy it," Shi Yu explained casually.
He acted nonchalant, but in reality, the auction he attended before coming here tonight was just for fun.
This copper coin is what he really wants.
This was a pleasant surprise, something he stumbled upon while checking the auction list of all the auction rooms at the auction house.
If his guess is correct, this might be the coin Qian Lei got 20,000 years later.
There is Behemoth inside.
