Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 97 One hundred thousand year soul beast embryo

Huo Yuhao solemnly said, "This Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone is of the ultimate ice attribute. Ordinary ice attribute soul masters would be overwhelmed by the energy if they absorbed it."

Xu Jiujiu's expression immediately turned serious: "Are you sure?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, and with a thought, the figure of Ice Emperor appeared in the private room. An extreme chill instantly spread, even causing Xu Jiujiu to shiver involuntarily.

"This is... an Ice Jade Scorpion? No, this aura..."

Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

"Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of my partners."

Huo Yuhao explained softly.

After taking a deep breath, he solemnly bowed to Huo Yuhao: "Thank you for the reminder. I will take care of it right away."

Shortly after, the auction announced that the Star Luo royal family had won the soul bone for an astronomical price.

Just as the auction was about to end, Emperor Xu Jiawei personally came to the private room, accompanied by Xu Jiujiu.

"Huo Yuhao, thank you for pointing out the problem with the soul bone."

Xu Jiawei smiled and handed the soul bone to Huo Yuhao.

"As a token of my gratitude, I'll give you this soul bone."

Huo Yuhao accepted the soul bone with neither arrogance nor servility: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as Xu Jiawei was about to leave, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, is the last item up for auction a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?"

Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu were both stunned, their faces filled with shock.

"You...how do you know?"

He asked incredulously after a long while.

Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously: "That's not important. What's important is that I want to buy this embryo for one hundred million gold soul coins."

The private room fell silent.

One hundred million gold soul coins is an astronomical figure, enough to buy a small city.

A struggle flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes. After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Yuhao, it's not that I'm unwilling to sell it to you. But this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo is simply too precious..."

In reality, Xu Jiawei had other considerations in mind.

Huo Yuhao's current strength is already astonishing enough. If he were to obtain this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, he would probably be unstoppable.

Unless Huo Yuhao is willing to join the Star Luo Royal Family, if that were the case, he would give it to Huo Yuhao without batting an eye, but the possibility of that is extremely slim.

More importantly, this item was actually a trap he had set for the Sun Moon Empire.

Whoever bids for this hot potato will become the target of public criticism.

Xu Jiawei's original plan was to let the Sun Moon Empire bid a high price, and then secretly spread the news to make all forces keep an eye on them.

Huo Yuhao, seeing Xu Jiawei's ever-changing expression, already understood.

He sighed softly, "Since that's the case, it seems we can only rely on financial resources..."

After Xu Jiawei left with Xu Jiujiu, Wang Yan couldn't help but ask, "Yuhao, one hundred million gold soul coins... isn't that price too high?"

Huo Yuhao took out an antique gold card from his pocket, with the emblem of the Sea God Pavilion engraved on the card: "Elder Mu gave me this card before he left, saying that I could spend 200 million. But to be honest, I don't want to spend too much."

Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

Although you can use the gold card at the Sea God Pavilion at will.

But the key issue is that they don't know how much money Xiao Hongchen has prepared.

Soul Masters… what a hassle. These people have money to burn. Ma Xiaotao curiously leaned closer: “Unlimited overdraft? Old Master Mu is way too trusting of you!”

Wang Dong'er grasped Huo Yuhao's hand: "Should we give up?"

"give up?"

A resolute glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Of course not. This 100,000-year-old embryo is too important to me; I must obtain it no matter what."

Huo Yuhao recalled how Xiao Hongchen ultimately won the Snow Emperor's embryo for a staggering 150 million in the original novel, and secretly pondered the matter.

He didn't want to steal soul beast embryos from Mingde Hall again in the future.

He's not really interested in soul tools anymore.

Just then, Ning Tian spoke softly, "Yuhao, if you need money, I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao turned to look at her, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes: "By the way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of money. Your sect has been passed down for ten thousand years, and you may lack anything, but you are not short of money."

Ning Tian was amused by his blunt words and smoothed a strand of hair at his temple: "What you said is quite right. As the number one support-type martial soul in the world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth over the generations. Although I wouldn't dare say it's as rich as a country, it's more than enough to support you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and turned his gaze back to the auction stage: "Don't worry, I don't think the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy knew about the auction of the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in advance, and they probably didn't prepare too much money. With the limit on my card, I should be able to get it."

He paused, then said gently to Ning Tian, ​​"If all else fails, we'll have to rely on you."

Ning Tian smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with sincerity: "Okay, I'm happy to be able to help you."

Listening to their conversation, Wang Dong'er gently squeezed Huo Yuhao's hand and whispered, "I'm not short of money either."

Huo Yuhao sensed the hint of jealousy in her words and couldn't help but chuckle. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I know, my little rich girl."

Wang Dong'er blushed slightly, gave him a coquettish glare, but did not refute the affectionate address.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but tease, "Tsk tsk, our Xiao Yuhao is surrounded by rich women."

Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yuhao, you're definitely going to be living off this gigolo."

A few light laughs rippled through the crowd, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, but his gaze never left the auction stage.

He knew that the real highlight was the upcoming auction.

As the auctioneer struck the gavel, another item was sold, and the atmosphere in the auction hall gradually became heavy.

Everyone could sense that the grand finale was about to be revealed.

After a long while, she returned to the auction stage, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the private room where Huo Yuhao was, her voice clear and melodious.

"Distinguished guests, the next item will be the final lot of the evening, and also the highlight of this auction—"

As the long, clear, and beautiful voice echoed through the auction hall, the entire venue instantly fell into an eerie silence.

All eyes were focused on the auction stage, and everyone unconsciously held their breath.

"—A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!"

The moment the words fell, the soul guide screen on the auction stage suddenly lit up, and an exquisite crystal cover slowly rose up, inside which floated a wooden bracket emitting a soft white light.

The stand was inlaid with hundreds of gemstones of various colors, which refracted a dazzling light under the lamp.

Above the bracket, a condensed white stream of energy was gently undulating, seemingly alive as it surged left and right, yet it was firmly contained within a layer of pale golden light.

Huo Yuhao's gaze instantly froze on that mass of energy. Even through the soul guide screen, he could still feel the immense energy contained within it.
