Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 38 Auction, Whale Maw
"Hmm?" As the red divine power descended, Ye Qiu felt something and looked up at the sky.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Yan asked in confusion when he saw Ye Qiu suddenly looking at the sky.

"It's okay." Ye Qiu shook his head. He felt a force falling on him, but after sensing it carefully, he didn't find anything.

At this time, Ye Qiu didn't know that he had been noticed and marked by the Shura God. If he knew, he would definitely be overjoyed, because this was the way to immortality.

"I'm glad you're okay. Let's go to the auction." Dugu Yan said, pulling Ye Qiu's arm.

After half a year of getting along, the two have become very familiar with each other. Ye Qiu doesn't care about Dugu Yan's actions. After all, he quite likes the tone of the older sister.

Afterwards, Dugu Bo took Ye Qiu and the others to the Tiantou Auction House.

The Tiandou Auction House was a unique structure, perfectly round, like a half-sphere on top. There were no signs on it, only a hammer pattern.

Only when you get close can you truly feel the scale of the circular building.

According to Ye Qiu's visual observation, the diameter of this semicircle on the ground is at least 500 meters, and the height is at least 80 meters. Although the level of luxury cannot be compared with that of the imperial palace, it should be noted that this is an auction house and there is no need to build it so luxuriously.

Moreover, this is the capital of the Tiandou Empire. In this place where every inch of land is valuable, the status of an auction house of this size is very important, and the background of the auction house is also unfathomable.

The gate of the auction house is also semicircular, and like the entire building, it is milky white. Four tall girls are standing in front of the gate.

These girls were obviously carefully selected. Not only was each of them about 1.75 meters tall, but they also had very well-proportioned figures. Although they were not stunningly beautiful, their beautiful looks were still very attractive. They looked no more than 20 years old.

They wore floor-length skirts that even covered their arms, leaving no extra skin exposed. However, the skirts were very close-fitting, fully outlining their graceful figure curves.

The snow-white dresses were embroidered with silver patterns that vaguely formed words, but their meanings were unclear. The four girls moved in unison, their hands folded in front of them, their smiles professional, yet still endearing.

Dugu Bo didn't even look at it, and walked straight into the auction house with Ye Qiu and the others.

Entering the auction hall, the atmosphere wasn't particularly opulent. The floor was creamy white marble, and the surrounding walls were adorned with reliefs. The reliefs were minimal in color, creating a simple, bright, and elegant look. Beyond the reliefs, there were wall-mounted display windows housing porcelain, armor, and other exhibits. If you didn't know what this place was for, you might mistake it for a museum.

I don’t know if the owner of this auction house likes circles very much, but all the doors in the auction house are semi-circular, which gives it a sense of unity.

After a brief observation, Ye Qiu couldn't help but admire that this auction house was not only large in scale, but also everything was well organized with a clear division of labor.

"Mr. Dugu, please come this way."

Since Dugu Bo was friends with Prince Xuexing and he often came to the auction house, the people there were very familiar with him.

"Yeah." Dugu Bo said softly.

Afterwards, Dugu Bo took Ye Qiu and the other person to the box.

Since it was still early in the auction, there were not many people in the auction hall.

While waiting, the auction staff also served a pot of tea in the box.

As time passed, more and more people came to the auction hall, and by the time the auction started, the venue was almost full.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. The annual auction of Tiandou City has officially begun. The first item to be auctioned is a very popular item..." As the auctioneer's voice fell, the maid beside him placed a silver square plate in front of them. The moment it was opened, a black, weathered, and ancient object appeared in front of everyone.

The moment this object appeared, the eyes of some middle-aged and elderly nobles in the stands couldn't help but shine.

At the same time, there was a hint of amusement in the way they looked at each other.

Then, the auctioneer began to introduce it to everyone.

"This is a piece of thousand-year-old whale glue. I don't need to elaborate on its effects, but due to weathering, some of its medicinal properties have been lost, so the starting price is one gold soul coin."

Seeing this scene, there was no trace of surprise on Dugu Bo's face.

After all, even if it is thousand-year-old whale glue, its value is only equivalent to 1,800 gold soul coins at most, and the price will be greatly discounted after weathering.

However, the effect of this item is somewhat intriguing. It can help men improve their sexual performance. However, it is reasonable to start the auction at a low price to liven up the atmosphere on the scene.

In just a blink of an eye, the middle-aged nobles below had already bid up the price of this thousand-year-old whale glue to nearly five hundred.

"Whale glue?" Ye Qiu's eyes lit up when he saw the whale glue.

Whale glue is a special substance in the brain of sea soul beasts. It is a treasure of heaven and earth. In addition, taking whale glue can strengthen the meridians and physical body, thereby increasing the years of absorbing soul rings.

But at this time, whale glue was only used for sexual intercourse, and its true function was not clear.

Dugu Bo, who was standing aside, naturally felt Ye Qiu's actions.

"Hmm? Do you have any ideas about whale glue?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

It shouldn't be like this. Ye Qiu is only nine years old and doesn't need this thing.

"Ah?" Ye Qiu was confused. He didn't do anything.

But he soon realized it and said with a strange look on his face, "You don't think I want to use this thing, do you?"

"What else? This thing is used for sex. Don't tell me it can't be used when you are this big." Dugu Bo asked back.

Hearing this, Ye Qiu understood what Dugu Bo meant. It turned out that Dugu Bo thought he was not capable.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu said: "Teacher, whale glue is the brain of whale spirit beasts, it is the essence. I read in medical books that whale glue has a significant nourishing effect on spirit masters. It can strengthen the body and enhance the endurance of muscles, bones and meridians.

Whale glue needs to be softened by burning it with high-intensity flames before consumption. Consuming it will improve the soul master's physique. And as you know, the absorption of soul rings is closely linked to the soul master's physical fitness. Consuming a thousand-year-old whale glue soul ring will increase the age of the soul master by at least two hundred years."

Furthermore, whale glue can remove impurities from the body and has a good beauty and skin care function.”

Dugu Bo nodded after hearing this. It turned out that whale glue had this function. He thought it could only enhance the aphrodisiac effect.
