Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 304: The Second Jade Man Debuts at the Tianzi Auction
Three days later, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong met Feng Xiaotian and the others at the entrance of Tiandou Auction House.

"Feng Xiaotian and everyone else, long time no see." Ning Rongrong waved at them.

Feng Xiaotian and others responded with a smile.

After saying hello, several people walked towards the passage of Tiandou Auction House.

On the way, Feng Xiaotian said, "I heard that the scale of this Tianzihao auction is much larger than before, and the heads of several of our families will come to show their support."

"The gimmick of four soul bones is quite big. I guess there will be many people coming from other cities one after another." Ning Tianchen said: "Therefore, the price of the auction items will be driven up a lot. It is estimated that it will be difficult for us to buy what we need at a suitable price."

Huo Wushuang beat his chest and sighed, "If we had grabbed the soul bone in the first place, there wouldn't be so many people coming to this auction, and the current situation wouldn't have happened."

Perhaps this is the butterfly effect.

Their unintentional actions led to the creation of this grand auction.

Of course, it is hard to say whether these four soul bones were the ones they discovered originally.

The entrance to the auction hall was already crowded with people. Among them, VIP guests above the age of black had staff who took them into the venue through an exclusive passage.

Most of those blocking the gate were people who wanted to get in and join in the fun.

The auction house will verify the capital of these people one by one, and this process will take a lot of time.

The people in front were forced to leave because they did not have enough assets; while the people behind rushed forward, causing this group of people to be stuck in the front and unable to get out.

Among these people, many went to verify their capital repeatedly in the hope of getting away with it, which made the auction staff inefficient.

"Are these people crazy? They're blocking the way here and no one can get in." Ning Rongrong complained.

Actually it is not.

What the auction house really cares about are VIPs above the black level. The purchasing power of these VIPs is much higher than that of ordinary guests.

In order to make the auction look lively, when the auction is about to begin, if the white seats are not full, some people will be allowed in at random to make up the number of people.

These people rushed forward desperately, with the purpose of waiting to be let in last.

"Then what should we do?" Huo Wu spread her hands.

They were already late and there was no way they could squeeze in from the front now.

Ning Tianchen pointed to the exclusive passage on the side and said, "Why should we squeeze with that group of people?"

In addition to being a disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Tianchen was also an imperial earl. This status was enough for him to obtain the black VIP status at the auction.

But today's situation is special and it is inconvenient for them to go to the black VIP seats.

Led by the staff, Ning Tianchen entered and explained his ideas, and the staff took them to the yellow VIP seats.

Compared to the black VIP seats, the yellow VIP seats are obviously much smaller and only slightly larger than the white VIP seats.

Normally, during the Tianzihao auction, a yellow VIP can only bring one additional person into the venue.

Ning Tianchen was a black VIP after all, so the auction house didn't care that he and his people occupied five seats.

"If we sit against the wall, wouldn't that be a bit too far?" Feng Xiaotian asked.

Ning Tianchen said: "After listening to the auctioneer's introduction, you will know the use of the items. There is no need to see the auction table clearly. We are sitting here, so it is not easy to attract attention. Some items can even be found at a bargain price."

Not long after they sat down, many guests arrived at the venue. The first red VIP to arrive at the venue was none other than Yu Luomian, the deputy patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Ever since Yu Xiaogang's story spread across the continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has fallen into silence. Today was the first time their children appeared in public.

Yu Yuanzhen needs to guard the sect at all times and cannot leave at will, so only the deputy sect master Yu Luomian can come forward.

He arrived at the auction site with the Blue Lightning Twin Stars, which shows how much importance they attach to this auction.

Feng Xiaotian felt that: "It has been so long since the Soul Master Competition, and Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin's improvement speed is not slow. They are already level 55 Soul Kings."

His strength has reached the 65th level of Soul Emperor, and he can see through the opponent's cultivation level at a glance.

Similarly, Yu Luomian could sense his prying and turned around to glare at him.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Yu Tianxin couldn't help but ask.

Yu Luomian sneered and said, "There is a kid who doesn't know his place and has spied on your strength."

Following the direction of his gaze, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin saw Ning Tianchen and others.

Ning Rongrong's spirit power was restrained, but they didn't notice anything. Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang's spirit power levels were similar to theirs, so they didn't react much. But Ning Tianchen and Feng Xiaotian gave them an unfathomable feeling.

It is obvious that the strength of these two people has left them far behind.

"Grandpa, what are the strengths of Feng Xiaotian and Ning Tianchen!" Yu Tianxin asked in a deep voice.

As one of the Blue Lightning Twin Stars, he would not allow his own cultivation to be left far behind by others.

Yu Luomian only took a glance and saw Feng Xiaotian's strength - level 65 Soul Emperor. As for Ning Tianchen, there seemed to be something on his body that could block detection, and Yu Luomian did not detect any soul power fluctuations.

"Feng Xiaotian is ten levels higher than us?" The two brothers looked at each other and were both surprised.

During the Soul Master Competition, Ning Tianchen's soul power was almost the same as Feng Xiaotian's, so it seems that his strength will not be weaker than Feng Xiaotian.

Under such a contrast, the two felt suffocated.

It seemed that they would never be able to catch up with Ning Tianchen and Feng Xiaotian in their entire lives.

Originally, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had high hopes for the Blue Lightning duo, and even claimed that after the two became Titled Douluo powerhouses, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family could move forward in the ranking of the top three sects.

Until Ning Tianchen came out of nowhere, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was always suppressed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and it was almost impossible for them to improve their sect's ranking.

They will never be able to avenge the humiliation of Yu Xiaogang by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect at the academic exchange conference.

Yu Luomian said nothing more. She glanced fiercely in the direction of Ning Tianchen, then led the two of them into the red private room.

……

"You can't help showing your murderous intent finally." Ning Tianchen sneered in his heart.

Although the murderous aura on Yu Luomian was fleeting, he still captured it accurately.

It seems that the mastermind behind the deliberate harm to him in Thunder Canyon was most likely Yu Luomian himself.

Ning Tianchen was a little puzzled.

Before the attack on Thunder Canyon, Ning Fengzhi made it clear that he wanted to cooperate with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and even made huge concessions in the terms of cooperation.

During this period, the relationship between the two sects would definitely not be bad. On the other hand, Yu Luomian would actually attack him, completely breaking the balance.

Yu Lao Er has the strength of a Soul Douluo at level 89, and it is indeed difficult for Ning Tianchen, who is at level 74, to deal with him. However, Yu Luomian is not a young man, and he is not young anymore, so it is hard to say whether he can exert his full strength.

On the other hand, Ning Tianchen has two martial soul avatars, as well as a hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone. If he really meets Yu Luomian, he may not have no chance of winning.

In the past, he was very weak and could only avoid the towering trees like Yuluomian. Now, he has enough strength to compete with the opponent, so there is no reason to retreat.

Huo Wu looked at Ning Tianchen. In her eyes, the other party's soul power was as deep as the ocean, unfathomable, and much stronger than Feng Xiaotian.

After pondering for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Ning Tianchen, what is your current strength? Why do I feel that you are much stronger than Xiaotian?"

Ning Tianchen did not give a direct answer, "Haha, I'm not much better than Xiaotian."

After a pause, he changed the subject, "There is still some time before the auction begins. The next auction will have more than 300 items, and it will take from the afternoon until tomorrow morning."

In order not to miss any item, they must stay well rested.

At his suggestion, everyone sat in their seats, closed their eyes and waited for the auction to begin.

……

Time flies and it's just past noon.

The guests arrived one after another, and under the gaze of countless people, the auctioneer stepped onto the auction stage to preside over the auction.

"Thank you all for coming to this No. 1 auction. I am the auctioneer Yuanyuan." The female auctioneer's voice was clear and lively, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the guests.

Ning Tianchen opened his eyes, stretched, and casually glanced at all the guests in the venue.

Suddenly, a guest behind him patted his shoulder and said, "Little brother, what are you looking at?"

Ning Tianchen turned his head and saw the other person's face clearly. He was a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman. He politely replied, "Let's see what items are up next."

The auction house will only issue the auction item list in advance to VIPs above the black level. Guests of purple level and below will only know the auction items after the auction begins, based on the auctioneer's introduction.

The man laughed and said, "Well, judging from your attire, you must be from a wealthy family. Haha, let's put it this way, it's almost impossible for people like us to take pictures of anything."

Seeing Ning Tianchen's nonchalant look, he continued, "Don't be a sucker. There are at least 40 to 50 black VIPs and red VIPs here today. With our financial resources, how can we compete with them!"

"If the other party is willing to give us alms, we will have to pay a higher price to get the auction item. I am an experienced person, listen to my advice, making money is not easy, don't waste this money. Today, you are very successful to be able to enter here and sit in the yellow VIP seat. For the next auction items, just look at them, don't touch them."

Ning Tianchen nodded politely.

The middle-aged man seemed to be a chatterbox. Starting from the first item, he kept chatting with Ning Tianchen.

"This moonlight crystal ball was obtained by my uncle when he was young. It is just so-so. I used it to illuminate at night, but I couldn't even read the words on the book."

"This painting by the late emperor is worth collecting, but unfortunately, it is a bit damaged and the price is a bit high. If you are free tomorrow, come to my house and I will take you to see the complete original."

……

Ning Rongrong, who was standing aside, gestured towards Ning Tianchen.

Meaning: Don’t you think this guy is noisy?

Ning Tianchen shook his head lightly.

The atmosphere in the auction hall was relatively quiet, and sitting here for a long time seemed extremely boring. Having someone to talk to was a relief.

After more than a dozen items were auctioned, Ning Tianchen checked the list in his arms and determined that the next lighting soul guide was what Ning Fengzhi needed.

Soon, the item was presented to the auction table, and the auctioneer introduced: "This is a set of soul-guided lamps discovered from ancient ruins. Just inject a little soul power and the lamps will provide light."

As he spoke, auctioneer Yuanyuan tapped the soul guide with his finger.

As soul power was injected into it, the soul guide emitted a dazzling light.

In the dark night, such a bright light is enough to illuminate an area within a radius of two hundred meters.

It was not difficult for Ning Tianchen to guess why Ning Fengzhi wanted this soul guide lamp.

With such a bright light, if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is attacked by the enemy, the disciples will not be groping in the dark in a hurry.

"The starting price is 100,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 gold soul coins."

As soon as the host finished speaking, only a few purple VIPs started to make offers, and the increase in price was not large.

"You must be crazy to spend more than 100,000 gold soul coins to buy a lamp." The man behind Ning Tianchen couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, for most people, spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins to buy a soul guide lamp is simply a waste of time.

But for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, this is a strategic item and worth any amount of money.

You know, there are very few lamps on the mainland that can illuminate such a wide range. Scarcity makes things valuable, so this price is reasonable.

"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins." Ning Tianchen raised the sign in his hand and said loudly.

The man behind him was stunned for a moment, then said, "Damn it, are you crazy? Are you ignoring my words?"

Ning Tianchen did not answer, but smiled again.

On the other side, inside the red private room.

Yu Tianheng looked back at the yellow VIP seats behind him and said, "It's Ning Tianchen. What does he want the soul guide lamp for?"

Yu Tianxin was equally puzzled and asked, "He actually treats a broken lighting soul guide like a treasure?"

In their eyes, this thing is pure garbage and worthless.

Yu Luomian sneered, "Since they want it, then play with them."

"Grandpa, please don't." Yu Tianxin immediately stopped him and explained, "We have met him before. Considering the relationship between our sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is a trap set by the other party."

"If we quote a price, wouldn't it be a waste of money to buy a useless lamp?"

He thought that it was possible that Ning Tianchen had set a trap for them.

The first few items were more or less valuable, so even if they were bought at a high price, they would not be completely useless. But this lamp, if they took it back, would take up too much space. If they bought it back, they would just treat it as garbage.

Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had lost a lot of businesses in the city over the years, and the clan was tightening its belts to make ends meet. Moreover, they did not have sufficient funds.

Yu Luomian thought it made sense, so she gave up the idea of ​​getting angry with the other party.

In the end, this soul guide lamp was purchased by Ning Tianchen at the price of 200,000 gold soul coins.

In the red and black VIP seats, no one paid attention to Ning Tianchen except Ning Tianchen and Yu Luomian, which created good conditions for his subsequent stealing.

……

After buying several items he needed at high prices, the man behind Ning Tianchen changed his opinion of him.

"Little brother, no no no, sir, may I ask who your father is?"

In the business world, if a man doesn't even have this much foresight, how can he accumulate enough wealth to enter the VIP box of the yellow world?

The total value of the items Ning Tianchen had just purchased was more than one million gold soul coins. And at his age, he would only be the second generation ancestor of a certain family.

Could a second-generation rich family that can control so much money be from an ordinary family?

However, the other party, with such a wealth, could already sit in the black VIP seat, but for some reason he chose to squeeze into the yellow VIP seat.

"You talk too much, don't you?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but complain.

Ning Tianchen patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll have a nice toy later, do you want to buy it?"

Ning Rongrong took out the auction list from the soul guide, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Rongrong wants it."

"List of auction items." The man behind him covered his cheek in surprise.

This scene further confirmed his guess.

Ning Tianchen thought he was very interesting, so he smiled and said, "Hello, what's your name, senior?"

The man hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, you are joking. My surname is Xue and my given name is Fei. If you like, you can call me 'Little Feizi'."

Businessmen always try to curry favor with the powerful, so the other party's behavior is not surprising.

However, Ning Tianchen really needs him to do something right now.

Just now, he and Ning Rongrong and others had already bid for many items in succession. If their seat numbers continued to appear in the auction hall, they would inevitably be suspected of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, thus causing high-level VIPs to maliciously bid up the price.

Next, Ning Tianchen still needs to buy a few items, but he doesn’t want to be targeted.

"Mr. Xue, item No. 103 is what we need. I would like to bid for it in your name. Don't worry, I won't cheat you." Ning Tianchen said.

Xue Fei was a shrewd man, and he knew this was an opportunity to climb the social ladder, so he readily agreed: "Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of it."

About half an incense stick later, lot No. 103 was taken out.

This is a beautifully crafted defensive soul guide. According to the auctioneer, this soul guide can withstand three full-strength attacks from soul masters of Soul Sage level and below.

Such an exquisite and highly protective soul guide is a rare treasure for anyone.

The starting price was 200,000 gold soul coins, and the price was quickly raised to 300,000 gold soul coins. Then, several black VIPs came out and drove the price up to 700,000 gold soul coins.

Xue Fei was very knowledgeable. He said, "Sir, the price of 700,000 gold soul coins is almost at its peak. Should we raise the price?"

After buying this soul guide, it was also given to Ning Rongrong. Moreover, from the appearance, this soul guide is an exquisite blue and gold necklace, which Ning Rongrong likes very much.

Waving his hand, Ning Tianchen said, "Add 50,000 first and see how it goes."

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins!" Xue Fei said loudly.

In the red VIP room, Yu Luomian also wanted to get this soul guide device.

Yu Tianxin's current strength is not strong, and his life will be in danger if he encounters a soul master above the Soul Emperor level. Getting this soul guide can save his life in a critical moment.

Yu Luomian loved this grandson very much, so he raised the price and said, "Nine hundred thousand gold soul coins."
