Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 131 - Intercepting is the happiest thing in the world!

"I know, but we're not in a hurry. Let those poor guys bid first," Qian Lingyun said, feeling incredibly at ease thinking about the 320 million yuan in her pocket.

There's nothing we can do; she's rich!

Soon, the price of this soul tool skyrocketed, breaking the million mark in no time.

However, once its price broke the million mark, the rate at which the numbers started to jump slowed down.

Auctioneer Qi Qi whispered, "Miss, Madam, after careful analysis by our auction house, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, without considering the craftsmanship of the Soul Master, is worth approximately 600,000 gold soul coins in its material alone."

"This is also the source of our starting bid. Its actual value is conservatively estimated to be over 1.3 million gold soul coins. Because the soul bone itself has flaws, we suggest you consider the cost-effectiveness of this sword."

"Oh, so what?! What I like is mine!" Qian Lingyun waved her hand dismissively, waiting for the right moment to raise the price.

As he spoke, the number on the display screen jumped to 1.56 million gold soul coins. Without a doubt, it was the price offered by the eldest son of the Dai family from Shrek Academy.

"Auctioneer, how long can we raise the bid at most?" Qian Lingyun asked.

"It only takes a moment," Qi Qi nodded in reply.

"Okay, I understand."

The bidding lasted for more than fifty seconds. Just three seconds before the auction ended, Qian Lingyun bid 1.8 million, directly surpassing all her competitors.

For a full minute, the price remained unchanged, and then the room was suddenly ablaze with a dazzling display of golden light, like fireworks, signifying the successful bid.

The Third Elder's gloating voice rang out once again: "Holy Maiden, that Shrek kid who auctioned off the big sword seems to be in a very bad mood, hehehehe."

"It's understandable that he's in a bad mood. Who can he blame but himself for not having money? By the way, Elder, could you please modify this soul tool for me when you get back? I want to give it away."

"Yes," the Third Elder echoed eagerly after receiving the soul bone.

Princess Jiu Jiu, dressed in a long red dress, reappeared on the screen, smiling sweetly and giving a slight bow, saying, "Thank you for your support, esteemed guest who just bid on the first item. Now we will begin the auction for the second item."

The Soul Guidance Screen changed again. This time, the screen on the entire wall was divided into twelve areas, and the items in each area looked somewhat similar.

They are all cylinders, conical at one end and flat on the other. They are identical in shape, the only difference being their color. They appear to be forged from different metals.

"Fixed-mounted soul-guided cannonballs produced by Mingdetang." Qian Lingyun glanced at the screen indifferently, ignoring Princess Jiujiu's introduction, and started talking to Feng Ling: "The level is not high, but it has all twelve attributes and all five poisons. I think it would be good for collection."

The auction began. Qian Lingyun didn't rush to bid, but simply watched the big screen quietly.

Interestingly, this time, perhaps due to the price of the items being auctioned, or for other reasons, no one raised the bid.

With only three seconds left, Qian Lingyun shouted, "I bid 700,000 gold soul coins." The minimum bid increment for this item was 5,000. However, considering that others might have the same idea, Qian Lingyun didn't offer the reserve price or the minimum bid, but directly added 50,000 gold soul coins.

However, Qian Lingyun did not bid on the next three items. The three consecutive items—a left arm bone, a right arm bone, and a left leg bone—were neither hers nor things she needed.

On the contrary, the sixth item to be auctioned—an extremely rare metal—and the seventh item to be auctioned—an eighth-level soul tool—the Heaven-Opening Earth-Piercing Cannon—caught her attention.

The sixth item, a rare metal, was purchased by Qian Lingyun for 1.2 million, while the seventh item was snapped up by her for 8 million.

She didn't care about the restrictions on this thing, such as its use by those at the Title Douluo level or above and its one-time-per-day use; she just bought it.

After all, she bought it for research purposes, and the benefits that low- to mid-level Soul Masters gain from analyzing high-level Soul Tools are exceptional.

The eighth and ninth items were both soul bones. The eighth item was the Devouring Dragon Head Soul Bone that Qian Lingyun had previously entrusted to the auction house for auction, which was bought by an unknown auctioneer for 7.2 million.

The ninth item was a pair of complementary leg soul bones, also given by Qian Lingyun. They had complementary properties, and the price of this pair of leg soul bones skyrocketed, eventually settling at nine million gold soul coins.

Princess Jiujiu's beautiful figure appeared on the big screen for the tenth time. She smiled and said, "The next two items will be the highlights of today's auction, and I believe all of you distinguished guests will be very interested. Be sure to seize the opportunity! Some of these treasures are extremely rare. You might not even find another one like them on the entire continent. For example, our tenth item is still a soul bone, but it's unlike any other. Please take a look."

With a flash of light and shadow, a soul bone, magnified many times over, appeared on the soul guidance screen.

This Soul Bone is entirely emerald green, with an emerald green halo flowing and undulating on it, as if it contains emerald green liquid.

Judging from its appearance, this is a left arm soul bone, with a faint white mist emanating from its emerald green body.

Because it was magnified many times, its strangeness was even more apparent. On the emerald green surface of this arm bone, there seemed to be tiny crystals, crystal clear, almost like they were carved from gemstones.

Compared to this, the previous soul bones paled in comparison, and this soul bone was one of the few that Feng Ling could seriously examine.

After carefully listening to Princess Jiujiu's explanation, Feng Ling showed a helpless expression. She said, "Soul bones are good, but they have attribute requirements..."

"Attribute requirements are not a problem." Qian Lingyun had not originally planned to auction this soul bone, but after she bid for the first soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, she suddenly thought that she was determined to get the Snow Emperor's embryo. With the Snow Emperor, she would be able to deal with this little thing.

The so-called glory of the Ice Jade Scorpion race, which cannot be fused with anything but ultimate ice, is laughable; it's just that they haven't encountered a higher level of beating.

If all else fails, she can just suffer a loss and turn this thing into a soul tool, right?

If nothing unexpected happens, Huo Yuhao will reveal the secret about the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone to the auction house. At that time, Xingluo will raise the price to keep the item and then give it to Shrek Academy.

Just then, the earpiece hanging on Qian Lingyun's ear rang again, but instead of the Third Elder's voice, it came from Shrek Academy's room.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's words in detail, Qian Lingyun sighed softly, turned to Qi Qi, and said, "There's a problem with your auction item. Go talk to your superiors; I have a solution!"

The auctioneer frowned slightly and said, "Honorable guest, that's impossible. Every item in our auction house undergoes rigorous inspection and testing. There would be absolutely no problem."

"Go ahead!" Feng Ling glanced at Qi Qi, a subtle glint flashing in her eyes. Qi Qi's pupils immediately dilated, her body stiffened, and she silently left the room.

"Third Elder, give the communication soul tool to Fourth Elder, and come here for a moment."

After Qi Qi left, Qian Lingyun contacted the Third Elder again.
