Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 98 Starlight Auction House

As night fell, everyone in Shrek changed into ordinary clothes. Holding the invitation to the Starlight Auction House, led by Wang Yan, a group of twelve people once again arrived at the Starlight Auction House.

To their surprise, the elegant auctioneer was waiting at the door. She was wearing a long black dress and looked even more noble and elegant under the night lights, but her pretty face was full of tenderness.

Wang Yan looked at her and nodded slightly, "Hello, Qingya Auctioneer. We meet again."

Qingya said with a happy face: "Welcome all distinguished guests."

Wang Yan said: "How do you know we will definitely come today?"

Qingya shook her head and said, "I don't know, but my job is to receive all the distinguished guests. Whether you come or not, I will wait here until the auction officially begins. Everyone, please follow Qingya."

The auction hall was the same as it had been that day. There was no publicity for today's top-tier auction. Led by Qingya, they continued inside, soon passing the venue where they had last bid.

Walking to the end, two girls in golden long skirts came up. They bowed slightly to everyone and had a brief conversation with Qingya. Then, one of the girls turned around and faced the wall at Qingya's instruction and pressed it lightly.

Suddenly, layers of light, resembling ripples of water, appeared on the thick wall. Then, a beam of light swept from top to bottom. With a humming sound, the wall slowly opened to the sides, revealing a passage.

It is different from the splendor outside. This channel is pure white. It's not cold white, but a special feeling full of soft texture.

Whether it is the floor, top or walls, they are all paved with a translucent white jade. There are faint dark lines under the jade. But I can't see clearly what the pattern of the dark pattern is. But compared with the passage outside, it is obviously improved.

Soft white light shines from up, down, left and right at the same time, and there are lines formed by light blue halos on both sides of the roof.

Qingya explained softly: "This is the No. 1 auction hall where we hold top-level auctions. Only the most distinguished guests will be invited to enter here to participate in the bidding. I have also benefited from all the distinguished guests today. Otherwise, with my level as an auctioneer , are not qualified to enter here."

Wang Yan said calmly: "Looking at Auctioneer Qingya's attire, it seems that she has upgraded!"

Qingya smiled faintly and said, "I also have to thank Teacher Wang and the students of your academy. It was because of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife I auctioned last time that I accumulated enough sales to be promoted to Black-level Auctioneer. Everyone, please come in." As she spoke, she slowly walked ahead and led the way. Two young girls in golden dresses, looking only about eighteen or nineteen, came to greet them.

Huo Yuhao sighed beside him. He had approached Wu Xuan several times about the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, but each time he was simply brushed off. Yesterday, when he went back, he was even scolded. Not being able to obtain the Soul Devouring Carving Knife was his greatest loss.

As they walked a short distance inward, small doors began to appear on both sides. Qingya finally led them through Gate No. 7.

This is a room of about two hundred square meters. The interior decoration is extremely luxurious. Precious wood, jade, and various decorations that are obviously expensive at first sight. The decoration here is full of luxury, but it also has a strange feeling that you have to praise it for being elegant.

Room No. 7 of the No. 1 auction room of the Starlight Auction House is decorated with extremely luxurious decoration.

The entire room is rectangular, with one wall on the long side being crystal clear and white. Only that wall had no decoration.

The large sofa is made of unknown animal skin, and the long white hair is extremely soft. When people sit on it, they feel comfortable and have good support.

The sofa is large enough to accommodate at least twenty people, and a variety of drinks, wine and food are placed on the jade table.

Everyone sat on the comfortable sofas. Auctioneer Qingya and two girls in golden dresses stayed. Qingya stood beside the sofa and smiled, "I will explain the rules of our top auction to all the distinguished guests."

As she spoke, she gestured to the two girls in golden dresses.

One of the girls walked up to the smooth wall and pressed it gently. Suddenly, a soft halo of light shone on the entire wall. The light gradually became stronger. The wall gradually turned into a huge screen.

Wang Yan was surprised when he saw this: "Hey! It's actually a soul guide!"

Qingya nodded and said: "This is a light guide screen specially customized by our auction house in the Sun and Moon Empire. It can transmit images in a special way. Its core array is not driven by soul power, but comes from the Sun and Moon An ore of the empire.”

Huo Yuhao stood up in shock when he heard this. Using ore to activate a soul guide was obviously beyond his understanding of soul guides.

Qingya was good at reading people's expressions and naturally saw the shock in everyone's eyes. She quickly explained with a smile, "But don't worry too much. The energy fluctuations emitted by this ore are very weak. It can't power offensive or defensive spirit guides. It can only provide energy for some very weak spirit guides."

Although Qingya gave a reasonable explanation, the surprise in everyone's heart did not completely disappear.

Perhaps the Sun-Moon Empire hadn't yet found a way to replace soul power in attacking soul guides, but this light-guided screen had already shown them the Sun-Moon Empire's leading position in soul guides.

The light guide screen gradually became clearer. There are some patterns on both sides, and in the center there is an auction platform-like place. The auction table looks small and appears very clear on the light guide screen.

At this moment, suddenly, the whole room was flooded with a layer of gold. Everyone subconsciously cast their eyes on the soul guide screen opposite the sofa.

A soft golden light that was not dazzling was emitted, blocking everyone's sight. A faint golden light was also emitted from every corner of the room, making the originally warm and comfortable atmosphere suddenly feel more noble.

Qing Ya said: "Dear guests, our auction today is about to begin."

The golden light on the soul guide screen gradually converged, and a melodious voice sounded, "Welcome all distinguished guests to the top auction at the Starlight Auction House. Today, we will present a total of nine precious lots to you. The value of the lots will be from low to low. Go up and show it to all the distinguished guests. I hope all the distinguished guests like it."

The soul guidance screen became clear again. The previous platform had been filled with a faint layer of white. In the middle of the platform, stood a girl wearing a red dress.

"Hello distinguished guests, I am today's auctioneer Jiujiu, and I am honored to preside over this top-notch auction. Your time is precious, and our auction begins now. Now, please appreciate today's first lot."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly, performed a complicated but very elegant etiquette, and made a "please" gesture with her right hand. Suddenly, the screen changed, and an object appeared on the soul guidance screen on the entire wall.

Seeing this person, Dai Yuheng stood up almost reflexively. "How could this auctioneer Jiujiu be considered Xingluo Imperial court etiquette?" Qingya glanced at Dai Yuheng in surprise and said, "Your Excellency has good eyesight. Auctioneer Jiujiu is the Chief Auctioneer of our Xingluo Auction House and the only Gold-level auctioneer. However, she only wears a golden auctioneer uniform when the auction items are worth over 100 million gold coins. Furthermore, Auctioneer Jiujiu is the youngest sister of the current Emperor. However, she has stated that at the auction house, her role is simply auctioneer. That's why we don't address her as Your Highness."

Everyone looked at each other with an incredible feeling. Although they all guessed that the Starlight Auction House had a rich background, they did not expect it to be so deep.

What does it mean for a princess to act as auctioneer? This means that this Starlight Auction House probably belongs to the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.

However, while they were surprised, everyone was already attracted by the No. 1 lot displayed in front of them. The voice of Her Royal Highness Princess Jiujiu also came.

"Tiger Soul Refining Knife. An eighth-level near-body soul guide. The material is extremely precious, including a right arm bone from the ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast. It solidifies its soul bone skill Tyrannical Slash. At the same time, it can amplify similar souls. Technical attack power is fifty percent."

"Dear guests, please note that when using this precious close-range soul guide to attack, each hit will be accompanied by a tyrannical slashing effect. Its effect can be superimposed with any similar attack soul skills. At the same time, through the exquisite core magic circle Guidance, as well as the energy contained in the soul bone itself, the soul power consumed by Tyrant Sword Slash is only one-third of normal conditions."

"Finally, this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade originates from the Mingde Hall of the Sun-Moon Empire. I believe the name "Mingde Hall" is enough to describe its quality. Even a Seventh Ring Soul Sage can wield this blade. With it, a Soul Sage of a higher rank can challenge a Soul Douluo. Five minutes of viewing time."

After Princess Jiujiu's introduction, there was an involuntary gasp in the room.This is just the first lot!

An eighth-level soul guide is already the highest-level soul guide that can be produced in Douluo Three Kingdoms. It is impossible to put it up for auction. Only the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire have the ability to put it up for auction, not to mention that this eighth-level soul guide comes from Mingde Hall.

Even the well-informed Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng, and Ling Luochen were surprised. Eighth-level soul guides were rare in the auctions they had attended before, and this was only the first item! How could they not be surprised?
Don't underestimate this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword as a melee soul guide. In fact, for high-level soul masters, the role of melee soul guides is even more important than long-range soul guides and fixed-type soul guides, and it is easier to cooperate with their abilities.

Everyone couldn't help but stand up one after another and walked to the screen to take a closer look at the eighth-level soul guide sword.

There is a detailed description on the top of the screen. The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife is four feet and six inches long. The widest part of the back of the knife is one inch in the style of a saber. The handle and the guard are slightly skeletal. The guard is very wide and shaped like a tiger head. Undoubtedly, the core array of this soul guide is also located in this position. The tiger head is crystal yellow, like a special gem.

Even though it was just an image, everyone still felt a fierce power coming towards them.

From the name, it can be seen that the most suitable person for this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword is undoubtedly Dai Yueheng who possesses the White Tiger Martial Soul.

Wang Yan exclaimed: "It is worthy of being produced by Mingde Hall. It is indeed extraordinary."

Wu Xuan silently picked up the juice on the table and took a sip. He didn't think much of these offensive soul guides, but he might be a little interested in some defensive ones.

In this era, no matter how powerful a soul guide is, it cannot be stronger than a Limit Douluo.

"It's time to watch. The Tyrant Soul Refining Knife has a starting price of 600,000 gold soul coins. Each increase will not be less than 5,000 gold soul coins. All distinguished guests are experts, and I believe you don't need to say too much. The bidding begins. If no one raises the bid within one minute, the auction is concluded.”

Princess Jiujiu's voice came again.

The screen changed to a faint white color, and the previous image of the Tyrant Soul Refining Sword faded into the background. A huge number of six hundred thousand appeared on the screen.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand." Dai Yueheng spoke immediately. This Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword was so suitable for him. It was simply tailor-made for him.

He turned around and looked at Wang Yan and said, "Teacher Wang, I will buy this knife myself. I don't need the academy to help me."

Wang Yan nodded. The inner court disciples were not short of money, and Dai Yueheng was the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, so he was even less short of money. He did not need support from the academy.

As soon as he made the offer, the maid in gold immediately performed a simple operation on the soul guide screen, and the huge number on the screen changed to 650,000.

This eighth-level soul guide device can be used by Soul Saints, and Dai Yueheng will be able to break through to Soul Saint in a few years. By then, with the help of this eighth-level soul guide device, even Soul Douluo will be able to fight. No wonder he would be tempted.

After Dai Yuheng made the offer, the number of gold soul coins on the screen soared and soon broke through the one million mark.

However, after breaking through one million, the growth rate slowed down.

Qing Ya said: "Dear distinguished guests, after careful analysis at our auction house, the material of this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife is worth approximately 600,000 gold soul coins without considering the craftsmanship of the soul master. This is also our starting price. Source. And its actual value is conservatively estimated to be more than 1.3 million gold soul coins. The Tyrannosaurus soul bone itself is slightly flawed and was damaged before it was made into a soul guide. This is why this An important reason why the value of the soul guide has been affected. However, the eighth-level soul master has eliminated the shortcomings in the process of making it. If the soul bone is complete, perhaps the power of this sword will be slightly higher , but the value is at least doubled. I personally think that the price-performance ratio of this Tyrant Soul Refining Knife is still very good."

How many of the people who come to participate in the top auction are fools? Just like what Princess Jiujiu said, they are all experts, and everyone knows its value very well. The starting price given by the auction house is definitely not high. But the possibility of picking up leaks at a low price is infinitely close to zero.

Dai Yueheng finally decided to be cruel and bought the Tyrant Soul Refining Knife for 1.56 million gold soul coins.

The price remained unchanged for a minute. The auction ended. The golden light in the room suddenly shifted like a firework, signaling the success of the bid.

Looking at Dai Yuheng's painful expression, it was obvious that he had suffered heavy bleeding.

Princess Jiujiu, wearing a red dress, appeared on the screen again. She smiled sweetly and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for your support for this auction, the distinguished guest who just won the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife. Now, we will start the second lot. Although they are disposable items, they are very rare, and it is not easy to collect this set. Dear distinguished guests, please have a look."

The soul guide screen changed again, this time the entire wall was divided into twelve areas. The objects in each area looked somewhat similar.

They were both cylindrical, tapered at one end and flat on the other. They were identical in shape. The only difference was their color. They seemed to be forged from different metals.

"Fixed-type soul guide shells." Huo Yuhao almost blurted out, his voice full of shock.

Princess Jiujiu's voice echoed in the room, "These twelve custom-installed soul-guided cannonballs are also produced by Mingdetang. We collected them with great difficulty. Each of them has different effects. The size is standard. In When used properly, these twelve custom-installed soul-guided shells are enough to threaten the life of a Contra-level soul master."

Under Huo Yuhao's instigation, Wang Yan finally won it for 655,000 gold soul coins.
