Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 70 The Source of Gold

"This soul tool was made by Fan Yu, the vice dean of the Soul Tool Department of Shrek Academy, in his early years. Although it is only a level two soul tool, after being improved by this level eight soul tool master, its speed is no less than that of a level three soul tool propulsion device!"

"Starting bid: 200 gold soul coins, each bid must be at least 10 gold soul coins!" Hu Jiu said, her voice amplified by the soul-guided megaphone to every corner of the room.

"Two hundred and ten gold soul coins." Immediately, a number plate was raised.

The first number plate was raised, and one bid after another was put up.

"Two hundred and fifty gold soul coins!"

"Three hundred gold soul coins!"

Seeing the price being driven up, Hu Jiu was very happy. This was a good start. If it was a slow start, there was a high probability that the item would go unsold.

It's important to know that a large portion of her salary comes from commissions; the higher the price, the more money she receives. The current situation is clearly developing in a positive direction.

"Five hundred gold soul coins!" At this moment, a number plate was raised high in the bidding area, which should belong to a rogue cultivator.

The entire room fell silent.

"Five hundred gold soul coins, anyone willing to bid higher?"

"Five hundred gold soul coins for the first time, five hundred gold soul coins for the second time."

"Five hundred gold soul coins, sold for the third time!" The auction hammer fell, signifying that the first item had found its owner.

Seeing that he had acquired the soul-guided thruster, the free soul master's lips curled up slightly beneath his mask.

Every Soul Master participating in the auction wore a mask, firstly to protect their privacy, and secondly to prevent others from seeing their appearance, so that even if they won some treasure, they wouldn't have to worry about being recognized.

Of course, none of this is useful to the strong. The strong recognize people mostly through their aura.

"Next, we have our second item, which belongs to the category of rare and precious materials. Please take a look."

A small cart was pushed in front of Hu Jiu. Hu Jiu didn't keep him in suspense and directly lifted the red cloth covering it, saying, "This is a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. You have probably all heard of whale glue. It is a kind of natural treasure that can improve the physical fitness of a Soul Master. The older the whale glue, the greater its help to the Soul Master. At the same time, it is also more difficult to obtain. The whale glue in front of you is already twenty thousand years old. Even a Soul Emperor would benefit greatly from it."

After hearing Hu Jiu's introduction, many Soul Masters' faces lit up with excitement, eager to obtain this piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

However, this item was of little use to Lin Chen. With his current physical condition, even a rare and precious herb of this age would have no effect on him.

However, as auctioneer Hu Jiu said, this piece of whale glue would be of great benefit to Lin Xiaolei, Xiao Xiao, and Zhou Mingxing.

So he said to Lin Xiaolei, "Xiaolei, do you have any ideas about this whale glue?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaolei looked at him and asked, "Xiao Tu, you want it? No problem!" As she spoke, she reached for the number plate in her hand.

Lin Chen quickly stopped Lin Xiaolei, and seeing that she had misunderstood him, he explained, "This thing is useless to me. What I meant was that it would be useful to you, Mingxing, and Xiaoxiao alike. It can improve your physical fitness, thereby increasing the time it takes to absorb a soul ring. That's why I asked if you wanted to buy it."

"Oh, you don't want it? Then let's not buy it," Lin Xiaolei said.

"Why?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"There's only one piece of whale gel. Even if we exclude celebrities, Xiao Xiao would definitely give it to me. I don't want to compete with Xiao Xiao for this piece of whale gel, as that would be bad for our relationship, so I won't buy it!" Lin Xiaolei explained.

"Your thought process is quite unique; you're letting go of a perfectly good opportunity."

"What's the point of any opportunity compared to your good friends? If they don't want it, they don't want it," Lin Xiaolei said nonchalantly.

Lin Chen remained neutral, offering no comment on Lin Xiaolei's thoughts.

"Starting bid: 15,000 Gold Soul Coins! Each bid must be at least 1,000 Gold Soul Coins higher!"

"Fifteen thousand gold soul coins!"

"Sixteen thousand!"

"Seventeen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"

When the offer of 20,000 was heard, the entire room fell silent for a few seconds, but someone still followed suit, and this time the offer was even more aggressive.

"Twenty-five thousand gold soul coins!" A powerful voice rang out in a private room, accompanied by his number plate.

"Xiao Tu, that's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's private room," Lin Xiaolei whispered.

Lin Chen understood. No wonder he dared to spend so much money. A price increase of five thousand gold soul coins was a terrifying amount for this ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

Perhaps knowing the identity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, no one present dared to raise the price any further.

Thus, the 20,000-year-old whale glue was acquired by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.

"The next item in the auction is also a rare and precious natural treasure. Please take a look!"

Another small cart wrapped in red cloth was pushed onto the auction stage at some point.

……

Time passed by, and during this time, Lin Xiaolei won two items at the auction, while Lin Chen just sat there watching, because there really wasn't anything suitable for him.

"The next item is our fourth to last item tonight. It's a soul tool. I'm sure everyone is curious about what kind of soul tool could be our fourth to last item?"

Immediately afterwards, a display platform slowly rose from the ground, and a small soul tool quietly "lay" inside the display platform.

"This glass can actually block mental energy." Lin Chen said with surprise. Just now, Lin Chen tried to use his mental energy to probe the soul tool inside the glass cover, but his mental energy was actually reflected back by the glass cover.

"This soul tool must be of extraordinary value," Lin Chen guessed to himself.

"Next, please welcome Elder Lin Huiqun of the Sea God Pavilion from Shrek Academy to preside over the auction. Goodbye, everyone!" Hu Jiu said.

Hu Jiu bowed deeply to the crowd attending the auction and then stepped down from the stage.

There was a lot of discussion on the field at this point.

"They've even mobilized a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion; there must be some priceless treasures behind them."

"Of course, they even invited a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion; what kind of inferior person could they be?"

……

"Silence!" The aged voice rang out, accompanied by the oppressive power of soul force, causing everyone present to tremble with fear and quickly fall silent.

"This soul tool is called the Golden Source. It is made from the leaves of the Golden Ancient Tree and contains extremely powerful life force, which can heal people's injuries. I can tell you all with certainty that even a Soul Douluo, as long as he has a breath left, can be fully restored under the healing of the Golden Source."
