Besides this room, preparations are underway in all other rooms as everyone awaits the arrival of this grand event.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao's room and the other people's rooms were instantly bathed in a golden light, and everyone subconsciously looked at the screen on the sofa.
A soft light emanated from the screen, attracting everyone's attention, and golden light also shone from the corners of the room.
Images began to appear on the screen, and a faint human figure began to emerge.
The auction is about to begin.
The auctioneer explained to the crowd with a smile, and Huo Yuhao and the others were also drawn to the explanation.
A voice quickly rang out, "Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Starlight Auction House's top-tier auction. Today, we will be presenting you with ten precious items, each one exceptionally valuable and priceless. Their value will be displayed one by one, from lowest to highest. We hope you will enjoy yourselves tonight at the Starlight Auction House."
The island screen gradually became clearer, revealing the figure of a girl. On the platform, a girl wearing a long red dress stood.
The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an extremely beautiful face and a great figure. Her fair skin was accentuated by the presence of a woman in the mortal world, giving her a very perfect appearance.
Huo Yuhao recognized the person at a glance: Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire.
She was surprised to see how beautiful she looked after makeup, which even slightly amazed Huo Yuhao.
However, compared to his female confidantes, Xu Jiujiu is still slightly inferior.
"Distinguished guests, I am your auctioneer for tonight, Xu Jiujiu. It is my honor to host this top-level auction. You are all very busy, so let's begin the bidding now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen in front of Xu Jiujiu suddenly changed, and a piece of the item was quickly brought to the auction stage by his maid.
You can tell he's really in a hurry.
How could Huo Yuhao not know the reason?
The auction itself is a minor matter; the real big deal comes after the auction.
After all, isn't the thing you buy truly yours? You have to take it home and have it protected by your family before it can be considered truly yours.
After tonight, an unprecedented great battle will erupt in the Star Luo Empire. Only then can we say that the real show has begun.
As Huo Yuhao was thinking to himself, Xu Jiujiu's voice rang out again.
Huo Yuhao followed the sound and looked towards the center of the screen. He saw that the item being auctioned was indeed the same as in the original story: the Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade, a first-class, level-eight soul-guided weapon for indoor use.
This soul tool is made from a soul bone, a ten-thousand-year-old tiger soul bone. Using it to make a soul tool is undoubtedly a grand undertaking.
Although he didn't know why this soul guide was so crazy as to not absorb the soul bone but instead use it to make a soul guide device, there was no doubt that this device was quite excellent, both in terms of level and quality.
Although it is only level eight, with the blessing of the soul bone, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a level nine soul tool.
In the Douluo Continent, although soul bones are not as precious as they were ten thousand years ago, they are still rare. A soul bone can provide a soul master with a soul skill and increase their soul power by several levels. No one would waste it.
Apart from those Soul Masters who have already fully equipped their Soul Bones.
A Soul Master of this level is undoubtedly a Title Douluo, so an 8th-level Soul Tool crafted by a 9th-level Soul Master must be of exceptionally high quality.
This was also the first soul tool that the Sun Moon Empire threw out, used to raise money.
After all, they needed to buy a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, but they didn't have enough working capital, so this was the only way to raise money and sell the soul tool at a high price.
There's not much to say about this soul tool; the Star Luo Empire is already selling it, so naturally it has no research value.
This soul tool itself has nothing mysterious about it, and the methods and memory for practicing calligraphy are nothing special. It is only powerful because the materials are precious.
The Star Luo Empire also has core magic arrays, but they're not worth studying, so they're just being sold. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to mention that there aren't any decent items at a top-tier auction.
"Distinguished guests, please note that this is an eighth-level soul tool. The material is extremely precious. It comes from a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. Its solidified skill is the Overlord Blade Slash, which can simultaneously overcome 50% of the attack power of similar soul skills. Moreover, when using this soul skill, each strike will be accompanied by the Overlord Blade effect. The effect can be stacked with any similar attack soul skill. What's even more amazing is that although the attack power is astonishing, the soul power consumed is very small."
"Finally, I want to say that it is produced by Mingdetang. As everyone knows, on the mainland, the name Mingdetang represents quality. This product bears the unique mark of Mingdetang and cannot be replaced by anything else. Now, I will give you five minutes to view it. After five minutes, we will begin the auction. You are free to bid."
Huo Yuhao wasn't interested in this thing, but Ling Yao kept explaining the soul tool to him. If Huo Yuhao didn't buy anything, wouldn't that make him seem incompetent?
"This soul tool of the Sect Master is produced by Mingde Hall and is an eighth-level soul tool. However, low-level soul tools are the most usable, even by Soul Emperor level experts. Moreover, as the first item to be auctioned, its starting price will not be too high. Should the Organization Department of the Central Committee consider it?"
As Lingyao spoke, she also zoomed in on the screen to fully reveal the appearance of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade to everyone.
The conical-handled sword is four feet six inches long. The widest part of the back of the blade is an inch in length, resembling the style of a dauntless saber. The hilt and guard show some skeletal shapes. The guard is exceptionally wide and shaped like a tiger's head; this is undoubtedly the core magic array of this soul tool—an eighth-level core magic array! Its rotation is quite imposing. The tiger's head is entirely golden, like a special gemstone, making it resemble a majestic and powerful tiger.
Huo Yuhao wasn't interested, but the others were practically eyeing him with envy.
Moreover, it wasn't just the boys who were interested; Wu Feng and Lan Qiuqiu were also quite interested.
Their martial souls are all powerful dragon-attribute martial souls, and they are all melee soul masters, so they are naturally interested in these things. Moreover, dragons have an innate suppressive effect on tigers.
They were confident they could suppress this arrogant beast, but unfortunately they didn't have the money.
Although Lan Shuilongcheng was wealthy, he dared not return to retrieve his money, fearing that Taotie Douluo would find out they were still alive and hunt them down. As for Wu Feng, although he had the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile as his backing, he didn't have much money. Such a treasure would definitely fetch a price of no less than one million.
He can't afford it.
However, Huo Yuhao said he didn't care.
It's just money, isn't it? He doesn't lack money.
He had never seen money, and he had no interest in it. His happiest time was when he was all alone and destitute at Shrek Academy. Even though he didn't have a single penny, he was still very happy.
Now that I have money, I'm actually less happy.
It's all fate!
"In that case, let's buy them. There are only ten items in total, so it won't cost much."
After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, as if he didn't care about any of it.
Ning Yao was also shocked by Huo Yuhao's wealth. With just one sentence, hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins were gone. His monthly salary was only a few thousand gold soul coins.
This was all thanks to his uncle.
However, with the commission, it was still tens of thousands, and he felt like he was going to make a fortune from this deal today.
Someone of Huo Yuhao's caliber couldn't possibly be joking with him.
He was curious to see how many items Huo Yuhao would buy tonight; he was quite looking forward to it. Five minutes passed quickly, and Xu Jiujiu submitted her bid, though the price was indeed relayed by the auctioneers in each VIP room.
"Sect Master Huo, after careful analysis by our auction house, the material value of this Tyrant Fire Soul Refining Blade is approximately 600,000. This is the source of our starting bid. Our conservative estimate is over 1.3 million. Although the soul bone has some flaws and was damaged once during the manufacturing process, which is why the price has been reduced, soul bones are extremely precious. It is unlikely that even a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone would be sold for a mere few hundred thousand. Therefore, the starting bid for this soul tool is 800,000. Now, everyone can start bidding."
As soon as Lin Yao finished speaking, the numbers on the big screen started jumping continuously, from 800,000 to 1 million, and then continued to slowly increase, showing that he was not making things up.
Huo Yuhao didn't want to waste any more time, so he directly called out the price and bought everything at a fixed price.
"One million and four hundred thousand."
Lin Yao said 1.3 million, so he said 1.4 million.
It's only a few hundred thousand more; let's take it.
To save time.
It has plenty of these transmitters. Selling them to the Star Luo Empire would only make them more expensive. Buying them at a low price and giving them away is the most cost-effective option.
As for selling his own to the Star Luo Empire at a high price and having them buy it back, it's equivalent to not spending any money at all.
It's six now.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's offer, Lingyao's face immediately lit up with excitement, her entire face flushing an unhealthy red.
You should know that Huo Yuhao added 400,000 in one go.
He now realized that Huo Yuhao truly didn't value money.
I think I'll get it today.
He could earn tens of thousands in commission just from this one soul tool he bought after the rain.
That's more than he earns in several months.
Although his uncle was a high-ranking official, he was not a nobleman of the Star Luo Empire. In the Starlight Auction House, Guizhou was ultimately the one who called the shots, since the Star Dou Empire was a place with a strict hierarchy.
Yes, the class distinctions are too clear.
The more money I earn, the more opportunities I have to get closer to Huo Yuhao. Today's work is definitely worth it.
Lin Yao quickly made a price offer, but after the number 1.4 million appeared on the screen, it finally stopped moving.
The people in the other rooms were still considering whether to raise the price further. After all, the auctioneers in each room had analyzed the most suitable price for them. Although Star Luo Empire made money, it adhered to the principle of honest business practices, stating exactly how much it would earn and clearly explaining the highest price, since these were VIPs.
Whether they buy it or not is their own business.
1.3 million is the highest price you can go; buying it beyond that would be a loss. Unless you really love it, there's no point in arguing with that person.
After thinking it over, some people decided not to continue bidding. What kind of people are they? They just added 400,000 yuan at once. Do they have too much money to burn?
While others were adding 10,000 at a time, you started with 400,000, and in one go it was 1.4 million.
Fine, who can beat you to it!
The countdown on the screen began, but the bidding price remained unchanged; no one wanted to be ripped off.
This item was successfully acquired by Huo Yuhao.
When Xu Jiujiu heard that Huo Yuhao had bought the item, a look of surprise appeared on his beautiful face.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao actually bought it. Isn't he the biggest middleman in the Sun Moon Empire, specializing in smuggling? He actually took a liking to this soul tool.
However, he couldn't figure out Huo Yuhao's nature. He figured he might as well buy it, as long as it wasn't about stealing the last 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.
Since Huo Yuhao has already made an agreement with his elder brother, he shouldn't change his mind at the last minute, right? He and his elder brother signed a big deal; they wouldn't fall out over such a small matter, would they?
After a long pause to think, his expression remained unchanged, and he began to move on to the next item.
It's still a soul tool, a melee soul tool, the Eight Halberds.
Huo Yuhao knew that it was impossible for a level nine soul tool to appear here. A cell phone soul tool could not possibly leave Mingde Hall. Moreover, even if there was alcohol mixed in with the gas, even if the Star Luo Empire could not research it, it would not be put up for auction. It would be treasured forever, or at the very least, used by itself.
Huo Yuhao was equally uninterested, but spent a high price of 1.5 million to buy the item at auction.
The next few items were also soul tools; Huo Yuhao just kept buying them.
And each time it was the highest price of 100,000.
This made everyone realize that the same person had been bidding on all six items.
So rich and so powerful?
They all wanted to see just how much money Huo Yuhao actually had, since he had been squandering it all here.
Meanwhile, in Huo Yuhao's room, the auction items were brought in one by one. Huo Yuhao didn't wait to settle the accounts later; he simply swiped his card, and it was Xu Jiawei's card that he swiped.
They had just completed a large transaction, and the Gold Soul Coins were still lying in the Star Luo Empire's bank; Huo Yuhao was too lazy to retrieve them.
This deal is worth approximately 200 million.
At first, Lingyao was still doubting whether Huo Yuhao had the capital to buy so many products at such a high price. After all, being the head of a sect does not necessarily mean being particularly wealthy or powerful. There are many people with high status but little money, such as the Body Sect.
However, once he saw the balance on Huo Yuhao's card, he had no worries at all. He was joking, with hundreds of millions in savings, what couldn't he buy?
Even if you were to buy it, it would be a simple matter of snapping your fingers.
