Douluo: The Peerless Dragon Shakes the Universe.

Chapter 79 Strange Girl

Sensing Jiang Shuo's gaze, the girl in the pale yellow dress met his eyes with a slight smile:

"I only know a little bit."

Jiang Shuo withdrew his gaze and said, "Tian Dou City is full of talented people; it has truly broadened my horizons."

The girl in the yellow dress smiled sweetly, "It seems that you are not from Tiandou City, sir. It's not good to reveal your identity so casually."

After the girl finished speaking, as if she wanted to carefully observe Jiang Shuo's expression, she raised her masked face and looked directly at him.

However, she saw that although his identity was easily exposed, the young man seemed indifferent and showed no emotion.

The girl withdrew her gaze. "It seems I was ignorant. Young master has a more impressive background than I imagined."

Seeing that her cousin remained silent, Jiang Shao spoke up, "This mask is nothing more than a trick to deceive people; it's completely useless against true experts."

"It's just that there were few strong people ten thousand years ago, so they came up with this trick. It's just been passed down to this day. Any one of the forces on the continent that can turn the world upside down could probably pose a threat to the Spirit Hall, the strongest force ten thousand years ago."

Hearing this explanation, Jiang Shuo nodded in agreement, "Whether or not something is exposed is entirely up to the strong."

However, the girl in the white dress with light yellow trim fell silent and did not respond.

"The Spirit Hall... Does anyone still remember the Spirit Hall?"

The murmured words reached Jiang Shuo's ears, who said with some surprise, "It's a power that has produced two gods, after all. It's unlikely that they would forget."

The woman's lips twitched slightly, and she shook her head with a smile. "Current historical records all say that the Spirit Hall is an unforgivable cancer, and that the Angel God and Rakshasa God are evil gods who waged war and poisoned living beings. What do you think, young master?"

After saying that, the girl in the yellow dress looked at Jiang Shuo again.

"The victors are kings, and history is written by the winners. Since the Spirit Hall won, they can naturally say that the Sea God and his followers are traitors," Jiang Shuo said calmly.

He doesn't judge issues based on personal likes or dislikes, and he doesn't believe that either side is necessarily wrong.

The girl standing nearby was taken aback when she heard this.

Nowadays, the sea god and his followers are rampant on the mainland, and she never expected that someone would dare to say such "treasonous" things in public.

For a moment, a strange look appeared in their eyes as they gazed at the black-haired youth.

When Jiang Shuo met that gaze, the girl quickly looked away.

Her lips twitched, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

He's quite an interesting young man.

She stopped speaking and continued to keep her gaze fixed on the stage in front of her.

Suddenly, a wooden box was brought out from the stage.

The original auctioneer was replaced by a woman with a refined demeanor, dressed in a light red long gown with gold trim.

She first bowed slightly to the seats below before returning to the wooden box.

"Distinguished guests, good afternoon. I am Su Nian, the chief auctioneer of Tiandou Auction House."

"It is an honor to introduce the next lot to our distinguished guests."

"I dare say that your trip here will not be in vain, because the item I have here is absolutely extraordinary."

The chief auctioneer, named Su Nian, paused, as if reaping attention.

A few seconds later, seeing that all eyes were on her, she smiled with satisfaction and slowly opened the sandalwood box, about the size of three palms, that was beside her.

The moment it was opened, a powerful surge of energy rose up, forming a lotus flower phantom above the wooden box.

This unusual phenomenon immediately drew the attention of the auctioneers in the room.

If it wasn't created by human hands, then the wooden box probably contains a priceless treasure.

Su Nian was very satisfied with the reaction on the field and continued to smile lightly:

"Everyone knows that whether it is a beast or a plant, after a certain number of years of growth, it will develop consciousness and soul power, and then evolve into a soul beast."

"Now, I'm going to introduce a thousand-year-old Calamity Lotus that has not developed sentience!"

"It grows in the cold far north and has been around for over a thousand years, but it has never shown any tendency to evolve into a soul beast. As a result, its enormous energy has not been consumed, but stored up."

"The pure energy contained in this Thousand-Year Calamity Lotus is no less than that of an evolved ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

"More importantly, it possesses a talent that allows it to influence the heavens and earth, helping those whose cultivation is slow due to their powerful martial soul to increase their cultivation speed!"

"..."

Jiang Shuo listened for a while before losing interest.

What is this "Millennial Calamity Lotus"? It's just an unconscious soul beast.

The affiliated sect of Taixu, located on the far northern edge, would venture deep into the area every year to gather resources.

He had consumed many such rare and precious herbs since childhood and knew that it was impossible for a person to fully absorb all the energy. The idea that this could increase cultivation speed was utter nonsense. Perhaps there was a tiny bit of that, but could a small lotus flower really surpass the quality of those powerful martial souls?

The slow cultivation speed is purely due to the inherent disadvantage caused by the overly strong martial spirit, which will suddenly accelerate in the later stages.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Even Bei Bei, who is the great-grandson of the Dragon God Douluo, could not change this situation.

Could it be that he has consumed countless rare and precious herbs?

However, Jiang Shuo's indifference did not dampen the enthusiasm of the auctioneers in the slightest.

Through the words of the chief auctioneer, the auctioneers gained an understanding of that rare and precious lotus flower.

Energy comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and a talent that can increase cultivation speed!!

Normally, let alone being able to capture a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast completely, even if you could, you could only absorb its soul ring and eat its flesh at most. Most of the cultivation energy contained within it would be wasted over time.

Now that a single lotus flower has such wonderful uses, how could they not be amazed?

It's truly a treasure of heaven and earth...

Not everyone can go to the far north.

That extremely harsh environment would freeze even a Soul Saint!

The primitiveness inside is even greater than that of the Star Dou Great Forest. Without experience or a map, even a Soul Douluo with lower cultivation level might have a slim chance of survival if they went in.

Moreover, most of the spirit beasts inside are ice-attribute, which most spirit masters don't need.

Chief auctioneer Su Nian had achieved her goal of stirring up emotions, and with a big smile, she began the bidding.

The starting bid was a whopping 500,000 gold soul coins.

Jiang Shuo smiled.

Let's sit back and watch these suckers get fleeced.

At this moment, the most enthusiastic auctioneers were in the black and purple areas at the back, because it was midday and there weren't many people in the red area around him.

Except for the girl in the light yellow outfit next to him.

Jiang Shuo glanced over and saw that her eyes were also fixed on the front, and she seemed somewhat tempted.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Miss, if you're not short of money, you can try bidding."

"If you're short on money and you already possess a top-tier martial soul, then I suggest you be cautious."
