In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 273 It can actually resonate with my soul bone.

The starting bid for the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is 600,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 5,000 gold soul coins higher.

Upon seeing this price, Lei Films was immediately speechless.

Despite becoming a full-time employee of Mixue Ice Cream, she and Shenzi's combined monthly salary was only 1000 gold coins.

Let's not even talk about how many people participated in the bidding for this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

Even if you can win the bid at the reserve price, 60 gold soul coins is still a huge sum of money.

It would probably take fifty years, working alongside the divine child for the shopkeeper, to pay off the debt.

Yae no Miko: No, you want to buy a sword, why are you dragging me into it?
Lei Movie: There's nothing I can do, you're my family.

Yae no Miko: Is it too late to end the relationship now?

Lei Movie: God Child, do you think you're playing a game?
Yae no Miko: Didn't you play with me first?
……

While Lei was still in a daze, other distinguished guests had already joined the bidding for the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade on the Soul Guidance Screen.

In less than a minute, the price jumped from the starting price of 60 gold soul coins to 100 gold soul coins.

And there is a continuing upward trend.

"What a pity~"

Lei Movie sighed helplessly.

If it's one million Mora, then squeezing the God Child's wallet dry might be enough to get it out.

But this is another world.

This Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is still too expensive. It would be great if it could be cheaper by a little over a million gold soul coins.

……

"By the way, store manager, what are you planning to buy?"

Perhaps having eaten a little too much, Yae no Miko began to inquire about Bai Ran's target in this auction.

"No rush, let's take a look first."

Bai Ran, however, was not in a hurry.

If I remember correctly, that piece of ice-green scorpion left arm bone should be the second to last of the nine items up for auction tonight.

As for the last item?
That was naturally the Snow Empress's embryo, but it was identified by the auction house as the embryo of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

……

Although Bai Ran didn't interfere, the transaction price of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade was still several hundred thousand more gold soul coins than in the original work, and it finally sold for two million gold soul coins.

Bai Ran knew without even thinking that it was definitely that guy Hagiwara who drove up the price.

After all, compared to the original story, the current Starlight Auction has an added element of uncertainty: Rachel. (Is Rachel really the only one?)

You asked why Bai Ran didn't suspect Xiao Bing?
Putting aside the fact that Xiao Bing had almost no money in her pocket, given her personality, she was simply too lazy to join in this kind of fun.

Of course, once the last item in tonight's auction is brought out, Xiao Bing will probably lose her composure.

……

The second item up for auction was also a soul tool produced by Mingdetang: a set of level 6 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

There are twelve in total, each possessing the attributes of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, poison, lightning, frost, metal, explosion, and paralysis.

To fire, a level 6 or higher fixed-mount soul-guided cannon must be used, while to fire in bursts, a level 7 or higher fixed-mount soul-guided cannon is required.

For Mingdetang, this level 6 fixed-mount soul-guided shell technology, if not outdated, is far behind the current level of technology.

However, for the other three great empires and the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, it can be considered advanced technology.

If they can thoroughly understand the core technology of these twelve level-six fixed-mount soul-guided cannons, their soul-guided technology will make a significant breakthrough.

Some may wonder why Mingdetang would engage in such an act of aiding the enemy. Could it be that there is a traitor within Mingdetang?
No, no, no, the soul tools that Mingdetang is willing to sell are basically outdated soul tools.

Do you think Mingdetang would dare to sell such a deadly weapon as a level 9 fixed-mount artillery shell?

One second a coin was released from Mingde Hall, and the next second Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, was done for.

From the perspective of the Sun Moon Empire's high command, the development of soul tools is an inevitable trend for the future. Occasionally, having the Mingde Hall release some outdated technologies can help the soul tool technology across the entire continent to develop.

While earning a considerable fortune, they can also contribute to the improvement of the Soul Master system.

As the saying goes, the more Soul Masters there are, the fewer traditional Soul Masters there will be.

When every Soul Master in the future is willing to become a Soul Master, it will also mean the decline of the traditional Soul Master.

At that time, Shrek Academy, which mainly employs traditional Soul Masters, and a host of other top academies will completely decline.

Unfortunately, despite the good strategy, in the original story, Shrek Academy produced Huo Yuhao.

In just over a decade, they broke the Sun Moon Empire's monopoly on soul-guided technology, a monopoly that had lasted for thousands of years.

The Chosen One is still too overpowered in the current version.

……

"The next two lots will be the highlight of today's auction, and I believe all of you will be very interested in them."

You should seize this opportunity. Some of these treasures are rare finds, and you might not even be able to find another one like them on the mainland.

For example, our eighth item is still a soul bone, but it is different from others.

Please take a look, everyone.

The auctioneer's voice, after a long pause, pulled Bai Ran back from her thoughts.

Bai Ran's gaze fell on the Soul Guidance Screen, where the item on display was a Soul Bone magnified many times over.

This soul bone is green in color, and a green halo flows and fluctuates on it, as if there is a green liquid inside.

Judging from the appearance, this is a left arm soul bone, with a light white mist exuding from the green body.

Because it has been magnified many times, it makes people feel its strangeness even more.

On the emerald green surface of this arm bone, there seemed to be tiny, translucent crystals, as if they were carved from gemstones.

Compared to this, the other soul bones that were previously auctioned paled in comparison, clearly not in the same league.

When the soul bone appeared, Bai Ran's eyes lit up, and he began to count all the gold soul coins he had.

A total of 3500 million gold soul coins.

Of those, 1500 million gold soul coins were borrowed from Meng Hongchen.

There was no way around it; even if it was the assets accumulated from participating in that underground auction, or the "betting" won after the start of the Soul Fighting Tournament by relying on understanding the original plot, it was all for naught.

Bai Ran's assets amounted to only a little over 20 million gold soul coins.

Besides, there's also the occasional expense of spending her own money, as well as the shop's expenses.

In the end, Bai Ran still took the step of borrowing money from Meng Hongchen.

Unfortunately, in the original story, Shrek Academy was willing to pay 3000 million gold soul coins to buy the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone.

In this life, Huo Yuhao no longer has the Ice Emperor, and relying solely on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he may not be able to know the true value of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone.

That might allow him to get a bargain.
As it turns out, Bai Ran was overthinking things.

Because the moment this soul bone appeared.

Huo Yuhao immediately felt a sense of familiarity, which came from within his body. After absorbing the 25,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion as his martial soul, he also gained a soul bone.

Now, this soul bone seems to be very active, like a junior meeting a kind elder.
