Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 48 Hidden secrets
The mysterious men wrapped in black robes in the corner of the first-floor hall were also staring at the external soul bone at this moment.

"Are you sure this is the external soul bone of our master?" a relatively short man in black robe asked in a hoarse voice.

"should be!"

Another tall man in black robes said uncertainly, "It's just that I can't sense the aura of the master."

"Nonsense, if I can make you feel it, then Starry Sky Douluo must have noticed it long ago!"

A relatively thin man in a black robe next to him finished speaking, and then he made the final decision, "No matter whether it is or not, let's buy it first. And even if it is not, we can use the vitality of the soul beast to increase the essence of this external soul bone and increase its age. No matter what, it is a sure win."

……

"This auction item is the Ice Emperor's Wings, an external soul bone!"

Su Rou introduced to the quiet audience, "I'm sure some of the well-informed guests have already heard that this external soul bone comes from a hundred-thousand-year-old ice crystal phoenix. It was obtained by an evil soul master with an ice-attributed Titled Douluo when he hunted for the ninth soul ring a hundred years ago..."

"After passing through several hands over the next hundred years, it eventually fell into the hands of Starry Sky Douluo. Due to the massive loss of soul bone origin, its age was fixed at 1,200 years."

Su Rou looked at the quiet people below the stage and smiled, "But our auction house can guarantee that as long as there is an ice-attributed treasure that can replenish the essence of this external soul bone, it can be restored to a hundred thousand year external soul bone. This can be confirmed by the fact that Starry Sky Douluo increased its age to more than nineteen hundred years..."

After listening to Su Rou's introduction, the auction site fell into a dead silence, and then whispers spread among the crowd like a tide.

Until a middle-aged man with a pot belly stood up and raised a question: "It's easy to say, but as a ninth-level soul master, Starry Sky Douluo spent more than ten years to add less than eight hundred years to it. Who can have more resources than a ninth-level soul master?"

But then another person questioned, "Although ice-attribute treasures are hard to find, that's only for ordinary spirit masters. If you were a Starry Sky Douluo, as long as you asked, there would definitely be a lot of people offering ice-attribute treasures to your door."

Another person echoed, "Not to mention increasing the lifespan of this external spirit bone to 100,000 years, but at least it can be increased to 10,000 years, not just 800 years. So there must be other problems with this external spirit bone."

"That's right. If there were no problems, why would Starry Sky Douluo put it up for auction?" Others agreed.

Su Rou remained calm in the face of these doubts and answered with a smile, "Although Starry Sky Douluo is a ninth-level soul mentor, he is also a worshiper of the Imperial Worship Hall and has his own things to do. It is only in his free time that he seeks out some ice-attribute treasures to increase its essence and extend its lifespan."

"Because this external soul bone comes from the Ice Crystal Phoenix, a top-level soul beast, it has extremely high requirements for ice-attribute treasures. This makes ordinary ice-attribute treasures useless to it. Therefore, in the past ten years, Starry Sky Douluo has only increased its lifespan by eight hundred years."

"As for the reason for the auction, it's because Starry Sky Douluo is improving his soul guide and needs a lot of funds."

After Su Rou finished speaking, she added: "These are the original words of Star Douluo."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience suddenly became quiet.

No one dared to question a ninth-level soul master in public.

Su Rou heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one dared to question her anymore. She then continued, "As the auctioneer for this auction, I need to remind everyone: Hundred-thousand-year spirit bones can be obtained by hunting hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts, but external spirit bones can only be obtained through extraordinary luck, and are rarely seen in a century."

"So, whether I take this external soul bone back to absorb it myself or keep it for later use, it is a very good choice."

After Su Rou finished speaking with a smile, she said again: "Starting price: 8 million gold soul coins!"

As soon as the price was announced, the audience fell silent.

No one bid.

Eight million gold soul coins can buy several eighth-level soul guides!

So no one is willing to pay this price to buy a useless collectible and be the one who gets taken advantage of.

In the box, Dugu Han saw this and decisively participated in the auction.

It doesn't matter that this external soul bone has high requirements for ice-attribute treasures. He can ask Xiaobai for half of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow. When it comes to ice-attribute treasures, no treasure can compare to the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow.

So no matter what problems this external soul bone has, as long as it can be extended in age through ice-attribute treasures, he can use the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow to increase the age of this external soul bone from a thousand years to ten thousand years.

"Ok?"

Su Rou saw no one bidding at the starting price of 8 million gold soul coins. She was already feeling disappointed, thinking she was about to face her first unsuccessful bid in her career. Suddenly, she saw Dugu Han bidding, and her face lit up with joy. But then, someone else joined the bidding: "10 million gold soul coins!"

It was the three men in black robes in the corner of the lobby on the first floor, and they directly raised the price to 10 million gold soul coins.

Dugu Han frowned upon seeing this.

Xu Tianzhen also became puzzled. "They directly raised the price to 10 million gold soul coins. They seem determined to win it. But what's the point of buying this external soul bone?"

Dugu Han didn't say anything. After thinking for a moment, he added another million.

Seeing this, Su Rou on the auction table immediately said happily: "Eleven million for the first time!"

"Thirteen million!"

The three men in black robes raised the price by another two million.

"Thirteen million for the first time." Su Rou said immediately.

Then she waited a moment and said again, "Three million per piece, the second time."

"Fifteen million!"

Xu Tianzhen looked at the silent Dugu Han and added another two million gold soul coins to his account. He smiled and said, "I still have six million gold soul coins that I can lend you first."

"Then there's no need to add two million gold soul coins all at once!" Dugu Han smiled when he heard that.

Xu Tianzhen explained: "This is a matter of momentum. We have to overwhelm them with momentum. You are still young and don't understand!"

"..."

Dugu Han smiled helplessly, then stared at the three men in black robes in the corner of the first floor and fell into deep thought.

An external soul bone with an age limit of more than 1,900 years, and it is extremely difficult to increase its age.

Those three men in black robes were actually willing to spend 13 million gold soul coins to bid.

"Is there any way to increase the lifespan of this external soul bone?"

"Or is there something hidden?"

"Or maybe he's a shill for the auction house?"

Dugu Han thought of the word "托" and immediately threw it out of his mind.

Only small auction houses have shills, and such things are impossible to happen at the annual Mingdu Auction House.

"But they all seem to be evil soul masters!"

"This external soul bone is a relic of the evil soul master."

"Is there some hidden secret?"

Dugu Han thought for a moment and looked at Elder Xue who was standing beside him and asked, "Elder Xue, can you tell their strength?"

"It's not apparent here. This crystal glass can block spiritual perception."

"Then go out and take a look!"

"it is good!"

Xue Lao nodded and walked out of the box.
