Obtaining the Heart of the Sea God
"Distinguished guests, the auction may now begin!"
The auctioneer spoke with a smile, but after he finished speaking, there was an awkward silence.
If it were truly a divine artifact, it wouldn't be put up for auction.
Many people are questioning its authenticity and want to know its purpose and how to use it.
If you don't know how to use it, even if you buy it at a high price, it won't be of any use and might even attract unwanted attention.
At this moment, no one spoke; all eyes were focused on the Ice God's Heart on the auction stage.
Five billion Federal Coins, that's no small sum.
It's not something that ordinary people or powerful groups can afford; even if they had it, they wouldn't be willing to part with it.
"Fifty billion!"
"Fifty-one billion!"
People started making bids one after another.
The most important thing after taking back the Ice God's Heart is to study it, to figure out its function and how to use it.
Many of the people who came to the auction today know that the military has not been able to unravel the mystery of the Ice God's Heart.
He wanted to take it back and study it as well.
Once the research is completed, it will definitely be a major strategic trump card for oneself and one's own faction.
The auctioneer noticed that few people were bidding and the participants were not very enthusiastic.
All I could do was keep explaining the various benefits of the Ice God's Heart when I was making the offer.
They started saying things like he had the Ice God's Heart, which could keep anything from decaying for thousands of years.
Gu Yuena sat beside Long Yuan, their fingers intertwined, holding hands, calm and composed, not in a hurry, and seemingly not very interested.
But actually, they are here today because she told Qian Gu Dong Feng.
If she had this Ice God's Heart, she could use it to suppress her mind and break through to the Spirit Domain Realm spiritual level in the shortest possible time.
Her Martial Soul is Element Control, which allows her to control multiple elements simultaneously. Her Spiritual Power is more important to her than to any other Soul Master.
It could even be said that the strength of her Spiritual Power determines the speed at which her cultivation improves.
Although she was a disciple of Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, she was valued by Qian Gu Dong Feng after she successfully passed the preparatory Spirit Transfer Envoy assessment.
At only twenty-one years old, his cultivation level had already broken through to the eighth ring.
This is definitely the future of the Spirit Pagoda.
But in fact, Long Yuan, who was sitting next to Gu Yuena at this moment, was also twenty-one years old and had already reached Level Ninety-Seven.
It's just that the Qian Gu Dong Feng is unaware of this yet.
Even now, Gu Yuena doesn't know Long Yuan's exact cultivation level or anything like that.
After all, this meeting was just a brief get-together before we arrived at the auction.
More importantly, it was Gu Yuena's research that gave the Spirit Pagoda its current prominence.
Just a month ago, in recognition of Gu Yuena's contributions to the Spirit Pagoda, even though she had not yet reached the Titled Douluo, Qian Gu Dong Feng overruled objections and promoted her to one of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Four Great Spirit Transfer Envoys.
He is the youngest Spirit Transfer Envoy in the history of the Spirit Pagoda.
After the research was successful, Qian Gu Dong Feng asked Gu Yuena what reward she wanted. Coincidentally, the Ice God's Heart appeared, and she chose this reward.
With the Ice God's Heart, Gu Yuena was able to break through to the Spirit Domain Realm, thus reaching the Titled Douluo level within a year.
Upon hearing this news, Qian Gu Dong Feng was overjoyed and immediately made arrangements to ensure that Gu Yuena could acquire the Ice God's Heart.
Qian Gu Dong Feng did this partly out of self-interest, for the sake of his grandson Qiangu Zhangting.
Qiangu Zhangting is the future successor of Qian Gu Dong Feng. He is very outstanding. He became Titled Douluo at the age of twenty-eight and was promoted to one of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Four Great Spirit Transfer Envoys.
Now 31 years old, he fell in love with Gu Yuena at first sight, and Qian Gu Dong Feng was intentionally trying to bring them together.
Nowadays, Gu Yuena is outstanding in terms of status, ability, talent, and appearance.
In Qian Gu Dong Feng's heart, these were undoubtedly the best candidates for his granddaughter-in-law.
No one is more suitable than Gu Yuena.
But what Qian Gu Dong Feng didn't know was that his chosen granddaughter-in-law was currently holding hands with Long Yuan.
However, the lighting was dim, and Qian Gu Dong Feng was focused entirely on the Ice God's Heart, so he did not notice the two's shady dealings.
"Six billion once, six billion twice!"
The auctioneer's voice rang out, almost a roar.
Today, everyone's interest in the auction isn't very high. According to the instructions from above, the goal is to reach 10 billion.
But now it seems that it is impossible to achieve.
Seven billion!
Just when the auctioneer was in utter despair, a voice rang out, making the auctioneer feel as if he had received an imperial edict.
This bid was naturally announced by Qian Gu Dong Feng.
At this moment, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone was wearing a mask. Although we didn't know who they were, anyone who could quote such an outrageous price must be someone of extraordinary status.
"Seven billion at a time!"
After the auctioneer asked around again and no one raised the price, he began the countdown.
Then they started enthusiastically introducing the product again, but still no one made a price offer.
"Cough cough!"
Seeing that the auctioneer was slow to set a price, Qian Gu Dong Feng was furious and coughed lightly.
The coughing sounded harmless to others, but to the auctioneer it was like a thunderbolt, causing his blood to boil and filling him with horror.
The auctioneer himself was quite skilled, but faced with this cough, he felt as if his soul was about to be shattered.
The auctioneer dared not delay any longer and quickly shouted, "Seven billion, second time!"
"Seven billion three times!" Then, with a thud, the gavel fell!
Although the auction price did not reach the expected price, my life was still the most important thing.
"Congratulations, VIP number one, the Ice God's Heart is yours!"
The auctioneer hurriedly announced, his face pale, sweat pouring down his back, his heart filled with horror.
If he had deliberately delayed for even a second longer, he would probably have lost his life.
"Na'er, after we return, Yao Zhu and I will protect you. We wish you a speedy breakthrough to the Spirit Domain Realm!"
Qian Gu Dong Feng smiled and said to Gu Yuena beside him.
"Thank you, Tower Master!"
Gu Yuena nodded to Qian Gu Dong Feng. At this moment, Long Yuan, who knew what Qian Gu Dong Feng was thinking, had already let go of Gu Yuena's hand.
Moreover, he deliberately acted as if he wasn't interested in Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena looked at him, but subtly avoided his gaze.
He was pleased to see Qian Gu Dong Feng invest in Gu Yuena.
Having achieved their main objective, Qian Gu Dong Feng, Gu Yuena, and Long Yuan left the auction house without lingering.
Then they rushed towards the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
If it's discovered that they've photographed the Ice God's Heart, it might be coveted and stolen.
I'm not afraid of being robbed, I just don't want to reveal my identity and cause unnecessary trouble.
After some time, the three returned to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
After returning to the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Dong Feng said he had something to take care of and left in a hurry.
Tell Gu Yuena to get ready, and that he will come and protect Gu Yuena together with Leng Yaozhu after he has finished dealing with his business.
Throughout the journey, Long Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. After returning to his residence, he closed the door and took out the Vast Sea Universe Crystal.
This is also something called a divine artifact, and it's not simple either.
I had been taken to the ocean world before, and the feeling was wonderful. It was as if my whole body was nourished and I felt refreshed.
"I wonder if Tang San will discover it and start monitoring me after I use it?"
