Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

He said calmly, "Choose for yourself."

Xie Xie sat on the comfortable sofa and curiously opened the manual, while Yuan Ye leaned over as well.

The first page of the manual shows the stages of tonight's auction.

Xie Xie glanced at it briefly, and the next moment, his gaze was drawn to the soul bones in the third phase of the auction.

Turning to the third stage of the catalog, the first item immediately caught his eye—

A century-old, thousand-shadowed dragon beast skull.

It's still an external soul bone!

Looking further down:

The starting bid was 10 million Federal Dollars, and the expected final price was 25 million Federal Dollars.

Xie Xie immediately deflated.

Xie Feng's eyes swept over indifferently, "You want this?"

Xie Xie nodded, then shook his head.

Finally, Xie Xie sighed heavily, "This external soul bone is a perfect match for my martial soul, but this...this is just too expensive!"

Xie Feng nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Continuing to read, Xie Xie's gaze fell on the fourth line.

The left arm bone of the Hundred-Year-Old Shadow-Eating Dragon.

Because it is not an external soul bone, the starting bid is only two million Federal Credits, and the expected final price is four and a half million Federal Credits.

Xie Xie immediately grabbed the booklet and shoved it directly at Xie Feng's face: "Old... ptooey! My dear father, look! Your son wants this!!"

Xie Feng glanced at it casually and said, "Hmm."

"Oh my! I love you so much, Dad!"

Upon seeing Xie Feng agree, Xie Xie immediately cheered.

Xie Xie's soul power has been stuck at level 28 recently. He suspects it's because Yingzai hasn't ascended to spirit level yet, causing an imbalance between the two elements in his body.

With this soul bone, Shadow Child can almost ascend to the Spirit Realm.

"Hey, Yuan Ye, is there anything you want? Take a look!" Xie Xie shoved the booklet into Yuan Ye's hands after making his selection.

Yuan Ye held the golden auction catalog, her fingertips merely resting on it without opening it.

He glanced up at Xie Xie, chuckled, shook his head, and handed the item back to the waiting attendant. "There's nothing I need."

Xie Xie blinked, but didn't insist.

Just then, the lights in the venue suddenly went out.

The host's loud voice echoed throughout the venue:

"Distinguished guests, the Heavenly Dou Royal Auction is now officially open!"

Chapter 102 External Soul Bone!

The lights on the main stage at the front came on, and a beautiful woman in a dark red dress came onto the stage, bowing slightly to the bidders below.

"First of all, on behalf of the Tian Dou Royal Auction House, I would like to welcome all of you distinguished guests!"

"Next, please present our first item for today's auction."

Without much small talk, the female auctioneer walked behind a gilded wooden platform and spoke with a smile.

A cart was pushed onto the main stage, and at the same time, the huge white screen behind the main stage lit up.

"Our first item for auction today is an extremely rare and precious spiritual herb—the Thousand-Year Crimson Flame Spirit Core Grass!"

"As you all surely know, this Crimson Flame Spirit Grass is a supreme treasure among fire-attribute spirit grasses, and it has immeasurable benefits for the cultivation of all fire-attribute soul masters."

"Today, we have specially chosen it as the highlight of the opening auction!"

"I can frankly tell all the distinguished guests present that among all the medicinal herbs auctioned today, its grade and value are absolutely number one."

The beautiful auctioneer smiled broadly.

"The auction begins, with a starting price of two million federal dollars."

"VIPs who are bidding, please raise your seat number plate. Each bid must be at least 100,000 Federal Credits."

Before the words were even finished, the quiet atmosphere below the stage was instantly shattered. The hushed conversations stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the transparent herb cover on the cart.

The leaves of the Crimson Flame Spirit Core Grass unfurled, its entire body radiating a warm, crimson glow, with wisps of pure fire-attribute spiritual energy slowly swirling around it.

Even through the protective shield, the fire-attribute soul masters inside the arena could feel their minds stirred.

The Crimson Flame Spirit Grass can be taken back and cultivated, allowing it to continue growing. It's not impossible for it to live for over ten thousand years.

Almost instantly, the first number plate with a silver trim was raised high in the front row by the window.

Seated there was an elderly man dressed in a magnificent black robe, exuding the aura of a high-level Soul Master. His voice was deep and resonant, radiating an air of unwavering confidence.

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

Immediately afterwards, from the direction of the other private room, a young yet sharp voice rang out, the number plate gleaming brightly under the lights:

"Two million eight hundred thousand!"

The auction continued smoothly.

The items in the third phase of the auction are the true essence of the soul.

Xie Xie was getting a little bored while waiting, so he idly fiddled with the snacks on the table.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Xie's eyelids began to droop, his head bobbed, and he couldn't shake off the drowsiness.

Just then, a faint yet exceptionally clear force suddenly and without warning activated the martial spirit within him, causing him to tense up instantly and abruptly open his eyes.

Xie Xie subconsciously looked towards the main stage.

The staff had already removed the previous item from the auction, and two more elaborately decorated trolleys were slowly pushed to the center of the stage.

The crystal box containing the soul bones reflected a cold luster under the light.

The female auctioneer on stage also became more serious, raising her hand to signal the staff to remove the velvet cloth covering the crystal box, and spoke loudly:

"Distinguished guests, the third phase of the auction is now officially open!"

"The next item up for auction is the skull of the Thousand Shadow Light Dragon Beast, which is over a hundred years old, and it is also an extremely rare external soul bone! We obtained it after going through many difficulties and spending countless efforts!"

The auction hall, which had been silent for a moment, suddenly erupted into a commotion several times more intense than before.

All eyes were fixed on the skull that shimmered with a white, luminous light, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly reached a new climax.

Ordinary skull and trunk bones are rarer than limb bones.

Above these two are the external soul bones.

Similarly, the skull and torso bones among the external soul bones are also the rarest.

The female auctioneer glanced at the restless crowd below, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. Her hand holding the gavel paused slightly before she continued in a loud voice:

"Moreover, this Thousand Shadow Light Dragon Beast's external soul bone is a rare find in the world, possessing both light and dark attributes! It contains pure light and dark power, making it an ultimate treasure among soul bones!"

As soon as he said that, the auction, which had been bustling with excitement, suddenly fell silent, as if a pause button had been pressed.

The bidders who had been eager to participate quickly turned their attention away.

The eagerness on everyone's faces faded, replaced by hesitation and sighs.

Xie Xie sat in his seat, looking at this sudden change, and turned to Xie Feng beside him with a puzzled look in his eyes, asking, "Dad, what's going on?"

"Among external soul bones, skulls are the rarest. Why is everyone suddenly not fighting over them?"

Xie Feng's gaze fell on the soul bone on the main platform, and he explained calmly, "This soul bone is special; it has both light and dark attributes."

"However, these two attributes are normally mutually exclusive, unless the Soul Master possesses both Light and Dark attribute Martial Souls at the same time."

"If you force them to merge, the two opposing forces will clash within your body. At best, your meridians will be destroyed; at worst, your body will explode and suffer a backlash. No one dares to try it lightly."

"That's why, even though it's a top-tier, rare external soul bone, the starting price was set at just over ten million Federal Credits."

Yuan Ye tugged at Xie Xie's sleeve, "Moreover, the appearance of special soul bones in this situation is usually arranged in advance and specially provided by the auction house to a certain bidder."

As soon as Yuan Ye finished speaking, Xie Feng raised the gold-plated number plate next to him.

The golden license plate shimmered slightly under the lights, clearly coming into view of everyone present. His voice, though not loud, was steady and powerful, carrying directly throughout the surrounding area:

Twenty million.

As soon as the word was spoken, the entire venue fell silent once more.

The atmosphere, which had already cooled down, was suddenly reignited by this decisive price increase, and many guests turned their heads to look at Xie Xie and his group.

"Twenty million Federal Credits at a time!"

"Twenty million Federal Credits twice!"

The audience remained completely silent, and not a single bid was raised.

A knowing glint flashed in the female auctioneer's eyes. She struck the gavel one last time, her clear voice echoing throughout the auction hall: "Twenty million Federal Credits, three times!"

"make a deal!"

With the final blow, Xie Feng secured the rare dual-attribute Light and Darkness Thousand Shadow Light Dragon Beast's external soul bone.

The auction staff worked extremely quickly.

A moment later, a person carrying an exquisite brocade box carefully walked to Xie Xie's seat, bowed, and handed the box containing the soul bone to Xie Xie.

Xie Feng, standing to the side, handed a black and gold card to a designated person.

Xie Xie was still stunned as his fingertips touched the cool touch of the brocade box, his whole body lost in a daze.

Just like that... I got it?

"Xie Xie, Xie Xie?"

Xie Xie only snapped back to reality when Yuan Ye called him softly from beside him, calling him several times.

Xie Xie excitedly gave Xie Feng a bear hug.

"Old Deng, I love you to death!!"

Xie Feng: "..."

Chapter 103 Original Night's Conquest Guide Points +1 +1 +1...

As expected, Xie Feng once again acquired the fourth piece of the Hundred-Year-Old Shadow Dragon's Left Arm Bone for four million Federal Credits.

After the auction ended, Xie Feng gave Yuan Ye a room key to the Tian Dou Royal Hotel, and then gave Xie Xie a gold-edged purple card, telling them to use it as they saw fit.

Immediately afterwards, he left quickly with the auctioneer.

Upon obtaining the two soul bones, Xie Xie did not rush to absorb them. Instead, he summoned someone to store them at the auction house.

Tiandou City is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and eyes are everywhere.

Moreover, this isn't his own territory, and Xie Feng and Lao Deng aren't here; there's no one to protect him.

Xie Xie fiddled with the purple card with a considerable credit limit in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Yuan Ye, who was standing quietly beside him. His eyebrows curved into a smile, and he grabbed Yuan Ye's hand and ran backwards.

"Staying in the hotel is boring, and I don't know when Dad will be back."

"It's not easy to come all this way..."

"Come on, I'll take you out to play!"

Yuan Ye looked up and met Xie Xie's bright, sparkling eyes.
