Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Outside the teahouse.

Wu Qi said with a solemn expression, "That Chai Rong is a Soul Douluo."

Qian Gu Chang Kong looked slightly surprised and said, "Then didn't he see through my cultivation level?"

Wu Qi shook his head.

The two of them possessed divine power, which was imperceptible to Soul Masters. During their earlier conversation, Wu Qi had also used his divine power to cover for Qian Gu Chang Kong.

To outsiders, the two were just ordinary young Soul Masters with the cultivation level of Soul Master.

As for Chai Rong, he must have a soul tool to conceal his aura, which is why Wu Qi couldn't discern his cultivation level at first glance. If the other man hadn't placed his hand on his shoulder, he wouldn't have known that he was actually a Soul Douluo powerhouse.

Of course, he didn't initially think the other party was a high-level Soul Master. If he directly used his mental power to probe, the other party's methods of concealing their aura would be completely exposed in his eyes.

As for Chai Zong, he is not much older than Chai Rong, so he must also be a Soul Douluo.

The fact that a powerful Contra player would conceal his presence and discuss the auction in a teahouse suggests he has ulterior motives.

Wu Qi had no reason to ignore Chai Rong's advice.

Qian Gu Chang Kong hurriedly asked, "Brother Wu, do you mean that the Chai brothers plan to rob and kill the guests who bought the auction items afterward?"

He couldn't think of any other reason.

Wu Qi stroked his chin and pondered, "However, we are not without the ability to protect ourselves."

"They're not targeting us, otherwise they wouldn't have given us that advice. Let's go to the auction first and see what's going on. If it really turns into an ambush, we'll just avoid it. After all, it's none of our business."

……

Time flew by, and it was evening three days later.

During this time, Wu Qi and his companion received no further useful information and could only wait quietly for the auction to begin.

As evening fell, crowds thronged the entrance to the auction house.

Many people want to see the final item at the auction, but very few are actually qualified to enter.

Those who were not qualified to enter blocked the main road to the auction house, making it difficult for those who were truly qualified to get close.

The auction house was also helpless in this situation and had no choice but to verify the funds of each customer one by one.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong arrived a step too late and are now stuck outside the auction house, unable to move.

If they produced the red gold soul card, it would naturally attract the attention of the auction house, who would then lead them inside. However, this auction was complicated by other matters, and they didn't want to get involved.

A moment later, Wu Qi noticed a small path to the side and said, "That should be the passage for important guests. Let's go check it out."

Such passageways are generally only accessible to guests of Black rank or higher.

But Wu Qi only took out a purple gold soul card with a face value of 50,000 gold soul coins.

They thought the auction house staff would kick them out, but to their surprise, the auction house manager personally apologized to them.

"I apologize to you both. We failed to manage the crowd outside properly, which caused you some delay. Please follow me. The auction will begin after dark."

The purple VIPs had lower privileges, so the two of them were only seated in a slightly more spacious row of seats on the outer perimeter.

Qian Gu Chang Kong chuckled and said, "I've never seen an auction from this far before. Today I'll get to witness it for myself."

With his Soul Saint cultivation level, he could see the situation on the auction stage even sitting in the last row.

At this moment, sitting here seems to suggest a life detached from worldly affairs.

Wu Qi remained silent, using his mental energy to perceive the situation on the field.

Those who possess the Red Gold Soul Card are extremely rare on the continent.

The auction in Maple Leaf City had not been publicized on the mainland, so only a few VIPs in black attended. The Chai brothers, who spoke with the two yesterday, were also among these VIPs.

They noticed the two of them as they entered. However, their relationship wasn't close enough for them to be able to talk about anything, so there was no need for them to greet each other.

As dusk fell, the auction hall gradually filled with guests.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong sat in the corner, and instead of feeling the noise, they found peace and quiet.

As the important guests arrived one by one, the auctioneer took to the auction stage, delivered the opening remarks, and then the first item was displayed.

For Wu Qi and his companion, ordinary auction items were not worth their attention.

In the VIP room, Chai Zong also found it novel, "Brother, those two little guys really listened to advice and didn't actually do anything."

Chai Rong remained expressionless, his gaze sweeping over the other private rooms. "To reach the Soul Sect level at such a young age, how could he be a reckless person? It's good that he's willing to listen to advice. Drinking his pot of tea is like showing them a way out."

……

For ordinary auction items, the VIPs sitting in the private room had no desire to make a move.

The fat man sitting next to Wu Qi and the other man took quite a few pictures.

Furthermore, this fat man had a strong desire to share; after winning an item in the auction, he didn't forget to show it off to Wu Qi and the other man.

"My two brothers, let me tell you, this deep-sea silver stone can stabilize the mind, allowing soul masters to concentrate on cultivation without distraction."

If Wu Qi and his companion couldn't even concentrate during cultivation, they wouldn't have been able to break through to their current level.

This so-called deep-sea silver stone is purely an excuse these spoiled brats use to justify their lack of dedication to cultivation.

Wu Qi closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the fat man's incessant chatter.

Time flew by, and soon came the final five auction items.

Seeing that the black-clad VIP was losing interest, the auction house brought out a Soul Bone.

"Wow, a 30,000-year-old soul bone, this auction is pretty good." Wu Qi rarely spoke.

A 30,000-year-old soul bone is not something you can see at a normal auction. The soul bone that Ning Fengzhi promised was something that Ning Rongrong had to wait for a long time at the Heaven Dou Auction House to finally obtain.

It's quite rare for a 30,000-year-old soul bone to appear in Maple Leaf City.

I wonder if the Chai Rong brothers' goal is this soul bone.

As the final item was brought out, the fat man sitting next to them immediately fell silent.

Wu Qi had no interest in the 30,000-year-old soul bone and had no intention of bidding.

However, this soul bone was something that others would fight over, and it was eventually acquired by the Chai Rong brothers at an extremely high price.

Immediately afterward, Wu Qi and his companion became interested in the next item up for auction.

"Distinguished guests, this lot is very special; it's no exaggeration to say it's a rare find."

As he spoke, he lifted the red cloth on the tray, and a crystal-clear bead, shimmering with colorful luster, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Qian Gu Chang Kong took a deep breath, sensing the aura emanating from the bead.

"Angkor, this is the dragon pearl of the Azure Dragon of the East Sea!"

Wu Qi became interested, sat up straight, and looked at the situation on the auction stage.

"This aura should be the dragon pearl left behind by an Eastern Sea Azure Dragon that is over 70,000 years old."

Before he could continue, the fat man sitting next to them interrupted abruptly, "Hey brothers, do you have the money to bid for this Dragon Ball?" (End of Chapter)
