Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 98 Soul Guidance Mech

After everyone got to know each other, Ning Fengzhi chatted briefly with Dugu Bo, and then the auction began, so everyone's attention shifted to the auction.

The first items auctioned were relatively ordinary, and the bidding wasn't very intense.

Yuan Changqing originally came to the auction just to watch the excitement, but unexpectedly he actually came across something that really piqued his interest.

The auctioneer introduced the item: "The next item is a damaged soul-guided mech. Its internal core is also broken. According to the consignor, it was brought out from a ruin."

"Although this soul-guided mecha is damaged, it still has research value. Therefore, the starting price is 1000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 100 gold soul coins. Now everyone can start bidding."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, Yuan Changqing saw few other bidders and joined the bidding.

Yuan Changqing's bidding paddle was number 21. After deciding to bid, he raised his bidding paddle.

"Guest number 21 has increased the price by 500 gold soul coins, making it 2000 gold soul coins now. Is there anyone else who would like to increase the price?"

"Guest number 16, you've increased your offer by 200 gold soul coins, so now it's 2200 gold soul coins."

"..."

"Guest number 21 has increased the price by 500 gold soul coins, making it 2700 gold soul coins now. Are there any other bidders?"

"2700 Gold Soul Coins, first time."

"2700 gold soul coins, second time, any higher bids?"

"2700 Gold Soul Coins, Third Time."

"Slap! Deal."

Finally, Yuan Changqing spent 2700 gold soul coins to successfully bid for the damaged soul guide mecha.

Seeing that Yuan Changqing had taken a picture of the soul-guided mecha, Ning Fengzhi asked, "Yuan Changqing, you're interested in soul-guided devices?"

Yuan Changqing humbly replied, "Sect Leader Ning, it's just a hobby. I just thought it was nice, so I prepared to bid on it. I'm not as rich as your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so I can only bid on these ordinary things."

Ning Fengzhi laughed and said, "You can't say that. Everyone has their own preferences, and I often photograph ordinary things too."

"It seems that Sect Leader Ning must have discovered a treasure among these ordinary things."

Yuan Changqing wouldn't believe everything Ning Fengzhi said. Others might not know the function of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but Yuan Changqing knew it very well.

Ning Fengzhi said he often films ordinary things, and some of them might really be ordinary. But given Ning Fengzhi's cunning and calculating nature, he must have used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to detect treasures before filming them.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Just like you said, it's just a personal hobby." Ning Fengzhi felt that Yuan Changqing's words seemed to see through something, so he also brushed it off with a personal hobby.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi say this, Yuan Changqing went along with it, saying, "Having a personal hobby is also good. It can change your mood in your spare time. Sect Leader Ning has a refined taste."

"Haha, Yuan Changqing, we're in the same boat. Let's exchange our experiences in this area more often in the future," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Catherine, who was sitting next to Yuan Changqing, felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to their conversation. She thought they were being hypocritical, so she pinched Yuan Changqing hard.

Yuan Changqing felt a sharp pain in his waist and noticed that Catherine seemed a little confused. He quickly turned his head, only to find Catherine smiling.

After that, Yuan Changqing found nothing else of interest, except for the soul bone.

However, just by looking at the people in the auction hall today, you can tell how fierce the competition will be. Moreover, with Ning Fengzhi, a wealthy man, sitting next to me, I can't possibly compete with him.

...

"This is the last item for today, and it's one that everyone has been eagerly anticipating."

Some people below couldn't wait any longer and said directly, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and bring out the items for auction."

The auctioneer maintained his smile and said, "It seems everyone is impatient, so let's get straight to the point."

"The last item for auction is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, which the consignor said was obtained from the corpse of a 23,000-year-old fire lizard. The bidding price is 200,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be increased by at least 10,000 gold soul coins. Bidding will now begin."

"Guest number 6, 21 gold soul coins."

"Guest number 2, 25 gold soul coins."

"..."

Yuan Changqing watched as these bidders raised their bids one after another as if money were no object.

"Brother Dugu, how's it going? Are you confident you can get the bid?" Yuan Changqing asked Dugu Xin in a low voice.

Dugu Xin shook his head and said, "Sigh, I don't know yet. Let's wait and see. I just didn't expect there to be so many rich people!"

Yuan Changqing looked at Dugu Xin speechlessly and said, "Isn't that obvious? People who can get in here are either rich or powerful, or they are people with great influence. These people are definitely not short of money."

"Brother Yuan, I might need your help later; I might not have enough money with me today!"

Yuan Changqing said, "Don't worry, there won't be much, but there will be a few hundred thousand gold soul coins."

Since Yuan Changqing's family started doing business, they have never lacked money. This time, they brought hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins with them to the auction house.

"Guest number 20, 50 gold soul coins."

This is Dugu Xin's bidding number; he has now joined the bidding.

"Guest number 8, 55 gold soul coins."

"Guest number 2, 60 gold soul coins."

"Guest number 20, 70 gold soul coins."

"..."

Later on, only the wealthy and powerful were left bidding. Seeing that Dugu Bo was determined to win, Ning Fengzhi didn't compete with all his might, otherwise he would definitely lose in the end.

In the end, Dugu Xin still managed to auction off the soul bone. After all, the Dugu family's martial souls have a great need for soul bones. No amount of money can compare to the importance of a soul bone. Moreover, this soul bone is a good match for the Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul, as they are both dragon species.

"680 million gold soul coins, for the first time."

"680 million gold soul coins, second time, is there anything else you want to bid higher?"

"680 million gold soul coins, for the third time."

"Slap! Deal."

In the end, it took Dugu Bo and his son 680 million gold soul coins to acquire this soul bone. Moreover, they not only borrowed money from Yuan Changqing, but also borrowed a lot from Ning Fengzhi.

After winning the bid, Yuan Changqing said, "Old Poisoner, Brother Dugu, congratulations on acquiring a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone."

Ning Fengzhi also offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Poison Douluo!"

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "Sigh, this has emptied my coffers. But I still have to thank Sect Leader Ning. If you had joined the bidding, I wouldn't have had a chance."

"Haha, it's nothing. I only did it because I saw how determined you were to get it, Poison Douluo, so I didn't want to take what you wanted. If we meet again next time, I won't let you have it again," Ning Fengzhi said modestly.

It has to be said that Ning Fengzhi is no simple man. Just by giving up a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, one can see that his scheming is unfathomable. But then again, if it weren't for that, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't have developed to its current state.
