Douluo Continent: Targeted Thoughts, Winning Over Bibi Dong at the Start

Chapter 53 See also the External Soul Bone

She had noticed before that Qin Heng had been shooting at various soul tools, and he hadn't made a sound as he silently brought down the hammer.

Spiritual martial souls have a natural advantage in the production of soul tools, so it's normal for them to be interested in soul tools.

Furthermore, Xu Jiujiu speculated that the Illusionary Eye Douluo was most likely not a Soul Master, otherwise his descendants wouldn't need to learn Soul Tools from the teachers of the Star Luo Royal Academy.

The auction continued, but Qin Heng had little interest in the remaining items. What most soul masters considered treasures, whether rare and precious materials or other items to aid a soul master's cultivation, were nothing but trash in Qin Heng's eyes.

Soon, the starting price for the auction items reached 10 gold coins, suggesting that the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife would appear soon.

Qin Heng focused his attention on the auction stage, but the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife didn't appear until the auction items, which started at 15, were announced.

The starting bid for the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife was 15 gold soul coins. Qin Heng did not bid immediately but waited for a while, during which no one else made a bid.

Clearly, the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade was already infamous at this point.

Xu Jiujiu on stage also looked somewhat helpless. This item had failed to sell at auction so many times, it seemed like it was really going to be a liability.

Just as Xu Jiujiu was about to announce the Soul Devouring Carving Blade style, Qin Heng finally spoke up. He bid a starting price of 15, and Xu Jiujiu, as usual, inquired three times before the hammer fell.

Having acquired the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, Qin Heng had achieved his goal. Now, all that remained was to see how much of his 58000-year-old Titan Ape left arm bone he could acquire.

Qin Heng estimated that the level of this soul bone should be between 3000 million and 4000 million. If a soul master has an urgent need for this soul bone, he might have a chance to bid up to 5000 million.

One item after another was auctioned off, and after about two hours, the left arm bone of the Titan ape was finally brought out.

"Distinguished guests, the next item in our auction is the 58000-year-old Titan Giant Ape left arm bone. This soul bone has never been absorbed by a soul master, and the soul power it contains is extremely abundant, making it suitable for most power-attack type soul masters. The starting price is 10 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 1000 gold soul coins."

"I'll offer 2000 million!" As soon as Xu Jiujiu finished speaking, someone in the VIP box immediately doubled the price.

The people in the other private rooms also joined in.

The price of the Soul Bone skyrocketed from 2000 million gold soul coins to 4100 million gold soul coins before the rate of increase slowed down.

At this point, the only remaining competitors are the box that initially placed the bid and the box diagonally opposite it.

4150.

4200.

""

4210.

4300.

After the first box to bid 4300 million gold soul coins, the other boxes fell silent.

In the end, the 58000-year-old Titan Ape left arm bone was auctioned off for a high price of 4300 million. Qin Heng had only bought less than 300 million worth of other things before, so even with the auction house taking a cut, he would still get at least 3500 million gold soul coins.

"Next is the last item. This item may not be as versatile as the soul bone we just saw, but it is still an extremely rare treasure for many soul masters."

He clapped his hands after speaking for a long time.

A box was brought up by a maid. After a long while, the box was opened, and inside was a pair of wing-shaped soul bones.

"This is an external soul bone of the Holy Light Pegasus, which was accidentally obtained by a staff member of my Starlight Auction House when hunting for the third soul ring."

The staff member of my auction house has the Aurora Collection as his martial soul, which gives him the ability to fly. In addition, his soul skill is a divine attribute soul power amplification.

Aurora Collection is a standard agility-based martial soul. This type of soul skill is not very useful to our bank staff. Therefore, our staff member chose to remove this external soul bone and hand it over to us for auction.

The starting bid is also 10 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 1000 gold soul coins higher.

Compared to the Titan Giant Ape's left arm bone, the competition for this external soul bone was not as fierce. This was mainly because the effects of this external soul bone were somewhat lackluster. After absorbing it, one could gain flight and a boost to holy attribute soul power. There were very few soul masters with holy attributes on the continent, and as for flight, that was only tempting to soul masters below the title of Douluo.

Moreover, flying soul tools are already quite common in Dou Er, which has led to a further discount on the price of this external soul bone.

After bidding for a long time, the price only reached 2000 million gold soul coins, and no one raised the price after that.

Qin Heng finally made his move, offering 2100 million. The Soul Master who had just offered 2000 million raised the price twice more, but in the end, he couldn't beat Qin Heng and won the external soul bone for 2400 million.

Qin Heng didn't want this external soul bone for himself; he intended to give it to Qian Renxue.

So far, Qian Renxue is the only woman who has made Qin Heng's heart flutter. It's just that he's still relatively young, otherwise he would have won her over long ago.

After the auction ended, Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire personally came to deliver the auctioned items to Qin Heng.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Heng's main body remained silent, leaving the rest to his clone.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your trust in our Starlight Auction House. Your soul bone has helped us attract more customers, so we will not take a cut from the soul bone."

The soul tool and carving knife you previously purchased totaled 303 million gold soul coins. We'll round it down to 300.

"10,000; minus the 24 million gold soul coins spent on the external soul bone auction, the total is 16 million gold soul coins, all of which are in this card. You can check them at any time."

"No need, I trust the Star Luo Empire's reputation." After saying that, the clone put away the golden card and then winked at the main body.

The main body feigned an excited expression and put the soul tool, external soul bone, and soul-devouring carving knife into its storage soul tool.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu spoke up to remind him: "Young master, the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade is no ordinary listed carving blade. It contains fragments of the evil soul of its creator, leading people astray. Of its 36 current owners, none met a good end; most died suddenly within the last 10 years, and 9..."

"A person has fallen into the clutches of evil spirit masters; young master, you must be careful when using them."

Upon hearing this, Qin Heng thought to himself, "So the Soul Devouring Carving Blade has only had 36 owners so far? It seems that even if I don't make a move, someone else will bid for the Soul Devouring Carving Blade again within the next four years, only to meet a tragic end. By the time Huo Yuhao participates in the Level 4 auction, the introduction will say that none of the 37 owners have met a good end."

Thinking of this, Qin Heng said to Xu Jiujiu, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. My grandfather also told me about the dangers of the Soul Devouring Carving Blade, and that I will absolutely not use it before I break through to the Title Douluo level. By the time I break through to the Title Douluo level, I will be at least an 8th-level Soul Master, and I think I can then..."

'

"You brat, you talk too much!" The clone interrupted the main body, pretending to be angry.
