Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 15 The Auction (End)

After the host finished speaking, the people in the audience began to scramble for it.

"110,000! I want this fox spirit!"

"Tch, who are you trying to fool with 110,000? I'll offer 120,000!"

……

Just then, the middle-aged man next to Xiao Yi also pressed the button.

The price has now reached the 200,000 mark, and it seems that the upper limit is here.

The host announced, "190,000. A VIP in red has bid 170,000 gold soul coins. Is there any further bidding?"

"Two hundred thousand, good, a bidder in the yellow zone, ah, a VIP in the yellow zone has bid two hundred thousand." He had exclaimed more than once. The yellow zone represents bidders from middle-class families, but since the auction began, there had always been a bidder in the yellow zone participating. What's even stranger is that his account has never shown any signs of being overdrawn. This means that the other party has the ability to bid.

"I'd like to see who dares to compete with me." An old man sitting in the red area at the front suddenly stood up and swept his gaze toward the yellow area behind him. Although he was wearing a mask and Xiao Yi had never seen him before, he immediately recognized him when the man stood up.

"This must be Prince Xuexing," Xiao Yi thought to himself.

During his stay in Tiandou City, Xiao Yi kept hearing negative news about Prince Xue Xing. In addition, Xue Xing was not a good person in the original work, so he recognized him at a glance.

As for the old man, he was accompanied by a powerful figure dressed entirely in green. After observing him for a while, Xiao Yi also learned his identity.

"Dugu Bo is with him too. This auction might be an opportunity."

Because Dugu Bo had been hunted down by the Spirit Hall in his early years, and was later saved by Prince Xue Xing, Dugu Bo became a retainer of the Heaven Dou royal family in order to repay Prince Xue Xing.

Dugu Bo was casually scanning the auction hall when he suddenly seemed to notice something.

"Hmm? This kid's interesting. I can't even see his cultivation level. I'll remember him and follow him after the auction."

As Xiao Yi expected, the middle-aged man beside him who wasn't wearing a mask didn't avoid his gaze. Instead, he slowly stood up and nodded to Prince Xue Xing with a smile.

Many people looked back along with Prince Xuexing, and upon seeing the middle-aged man stand up, not only was Xuexing stunned, his domineering aura completely gone, but a chorus of gasps also rose around him. Even the host on stage stiffened.

"The auction house has its rules. May we continue?" The middle-aged man's voice was not loud, but gentle and refined, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Yes, of course," the host replied obsequiously.

"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins for the second time, two hundred thousand gold soul coins for the third time. Sold. This fox girl belongs to a magical VIP in the yellow VIP area." After the middle-aged man stood up, no one raised the price again, and the auction was successfully completed.

"Tsk, as expected of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, even a fox girl can fetch such a high price." Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

"Young friend, what do you think about the sale of living people at auctions?" asked the middle-aged man next to Xiao Yi.

"Well, if there's profit to be made, someone will do it. Even if I can't stand by and watch, I can't change the outcome. If I had participated in the auction and won the bid, I could have saved her. But if I saved her this time, what about the Catwoman? The Snake Woman? I can't always save her, can I? It's better not to intervene and let the auction house profit. No one cares what the buyer does with the money. After all, I have no say." Xiao Yi gave his answer.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "Don't these good-for-nothings have anything else in their heads? No wonder the Heavenly Battle was taken over by others more than ten years later."

Meanwhile, the next item for auction was presented.

The host, with a suggestive look in his eyes, began to auction off: "Next up is a piece of weathered millennium whale glue. I'm sure you all know what it's used for, right? What will happen tonight if you pair it with the fox woman from earlier? This piece of millennium whale glue starts at 10,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 500 gold soul coins higher."

Whale glue is a special substance produced in the brains of sea spirit beasts. It can be considered a rare and precious material, but in this era, people regard it as a flirting item. No one knows that it can strengthen meridians and physical strength, and can also increase the number of years a person can absorb spirit rings.

"This is probably not a piece of whale glue that's been around for ten thousand years."

Xiao Yi took a look and saw that it was a piece of whale glue the size of a human head, completely black. It was probably weathered during transportation, and the nobles did not know how to distinguish the age, so they auctioned it as if it were a thousand years old.

Whale glue attracted fierce bidding as soon as it hit the market, and by the time Xiao Yi had finished thinking about it, it had already reached 30,000 gold soul coins.

"fifty thousand!"

Xiao Yi pressed the bidding button on his seat, because if he didn't bid, he would miss out on the whale glue.

Upon hearing Xiao Yi's offer, everyone turned to look and saw that it was a young man. They then began to discuss it among themselves.

"I never expected that someone so young would be impotent in that area."

"Exactly, you can't judge a book by its cover."

Xiao Yi didn't care, after all, only he knew what the whale glue was good for.

The middle-aged man next to him also gave Xiao Yi a strange look and asked, "Young friend, you don't look well, why would you buy something like this?"

"A friend of mine was injured when he was young, and then he became impotent. This whale glue is for him," Xiao Yi made up a reason.

"So that's how it is. I was overthinking it." Ning Fengzhi saw that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he stopped asking.

At this moment, Dugu Bo thought to himself, "This kid seems full of vigor and vitality; he might not be the right person. Perhaps he knows something else. If I ask him about it, wouldn't Yan Yan benefit as well?"

No one continued to bid at this moment, because in their opinion, 50,000 gold soul coins for a piece of whale glue was not worth it.

"Anyone else making a bid?"

The host looked towards the VIP section and, seeing no one had placed a bid, announced: "50,000 Gold Soul Coins once! 50,000 Gold Soul Coins twice! 50,000 Gold Soul Coins three times! Congratulations to this VIP!"

At this moment, the host treated Xiao Yi like a fool, spending 50,000 gold soul coins for a piece of whale glue.

Then, two men carried a wooden box up from below the stage.

After the item was brought onto the stage, the host announced, "I believe everyone is here tonight for this item. It is the left arm bone of a 37,000-year-old golden saber-toothed tiger. The starting bid is 5 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 500,000 gold soul coins higher."

The moment the Soul Bone appeared on stage, it sparked a bidding war, quickly reaching a bid of 20 million.

Finally, the middle-aged man next to Xiao Yi won the bid for 28 million.

"I have to admit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really is rich and powerful. They just casually throw out tens of millions of gold soul coins," Xiao Yi complained.

After the soul bones were auctioned off, the auction came to an end, and people left after paying for their items.

After paying with the gold soul coins and taking his whale glue, Xiao Yi headed home, but he didn't notice that someone was following him after he left.
