Auctioning Pills!

Auctioning Pills!

Xu Xin had no idea what Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were up to, and even if he had known, he would have merely laughed.

They were nothing more than two clowns.

Besides, he was not here to buy anything. He was here to sell.

Before long, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao found out which private room Xu Xin and the other were in. As long as they placed a bid, they would follow it. The Clear Sky Sect possessed immense wealth—mere Golden Soul Coins were nothing to worry about.

Inside the private room, Xu Xin and A Yin leisurely ate fruit as they waited for the auction to begin.

Soon, night arrived, and the auction officially began.

A Yin and Xu Xin remained seated at ease. It had to be said that the private rooms here were quite good, offering a clear view of the auction floor below.

Before long, an elegant, pleasant voice rang throughout the private rooms. "Welcome, everyone, to today's auction."

"Without further ado, let us bring out today's first auction item!"

As the mature female auctioneer's voice fell, a pillar slowly rose beside her. Within a glass cover atop it lay a pale blue piece of bone.

A soul bone!!

The moment it appeared, it drew the attention of everyone present.

"The Heaven Dou Auction House certainly has deep pockets, putting even a soul bone up for auction."

Xu Xin spoke calmly. Judging by its quality, though, it was probably only a hundred-year soul bone...

Even so, a hundred-year soul bone was extremely rare.

After all, it was a treasure from the Blood River. Its rarity was easy to imagine.

Just as Xu Xin had said, the people below had already begun bidding, their enthusiasm soaring.

Though it was only a hundred-year soul bone, it was enough to cause a huge stir.

However, Xu Xin had no intention of bidding. Its age was too low; he had no interest in it.

"Sister A Yin, if there's anything you like, just bid on it. Second Elder gave us money before we came out."

Xu Xin spoke slowly. It had to be said that Dugu Bo truly was wealthy. He had directly given Xu Xin one million Golden Soul Coins. It was not a huge amount, but it was by no means small either.

Besides, they still had the pills to auction. He just did not know what price those pills would fetch.

It should be enough.

A Yin nodded and did not refuse, her eyes fixed on the soul bone onstage.

Tang Hao, on the other side, was also greatly shocked. A soul bone had actually appeared—and it was the very first item.

"Big Brother, a soul bone."

Tang Hao stared at it intensely.

"It's only a two-hundred-year soul bone. Hao, when did your standards become so low?" Tang Xiao shook his head. Such things were not worth their attention.

"I'm just curious. If the first item is already a soul bone, then the items afterward must be even better."

"No wonder Father had us come."

Tang Hao spoke.

Tang Xiao nodded as well, but his gaze was not on the soul bone. It was on Xu Xin's private room.

The other side had not bid yet. It was not time to make a move.

"Hao, what kind of background do you think that woman has? She actually has so many powerful Soul Douluo around her."

Tang Xiao kept pondering, calculating how he could win that woman over.

"Who knows? But no matter how powerful she is, can she be stronger than our Clear Sky Sect?"

Tang Hao spoke disdainfully. "Who cares what faction she belongs to? If it comes down to it, we'll just take her."

"Big Brother, you think too much. You're just making trouble for yourself."

Tang Hao waved his hand. Big Brother, you still need more practice. With how indecisive you are, there's no way that girl would ever fancy you.

Tang Xiao said nothing, but inwardly, he felt helpless. He could not carry him, truly could not carry him. Their grandfather's prestige had influenced his younger brother far too deeply.

However, Tang Xiao quickly got over it. With the Clear Sky Sect behind them, he was simply worrying for nothing. No need to be afraid.

Before long, the price of the soul bone was driven up to four hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins. And this was only a hundred-year soul bone.

Xu Xin remembered that in Douluo II, even a ten-thousand-year soul bone had sold for the sky-high price of nine million Golden Soul Coins.

Now, this mere hundred-year soul bone had reached four hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins. That was quite a lot as well.

In the end, the soul bone was bought by a royal noble for four hundred and fifty thousand Golden Soul Coins.

Xu Xin could not help sighing. It seemed his pills would sell for a very high price.

Soon, the next auction item was brought out: a cat girl!

She was ultimately sold for two million.

The next item was rare forging material, which was ultimately sold for two hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins.

"The next auction item is a bottle of pills."

"The pills' effect is quite simple. For a quarter of an hour, they can increase cultivation speed. The effect is excellent below Soul Elder level, while it weakens above Soul Elder level."

As the auctioneer slowly explained, everyone turned heated gazes toward the item.

Below Soul Elder? Wouldn't that mean one could get ahead of others right from the start? As long as there were enough pills, one could cultivate diligently in the early stages and break records... then... I would be a genius.

Building a foundation early on would also allow for better improvement later.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on that bottle of pills.

"There is no starting bid. Esteemed guests, place your bids!"

As the auctioneer's words fell, no one bid for a moment.

Seeing this, Xu Xin directly called out, "Two hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins!"

A Yin looked at him in surprise. Were these not the items they were selling themselves? Why was he bidding on them himself? Was he not afraid that no one would compete?

"Sister A Yin, someone has to be the first bird out of the flock. Besides, this item of ours is very appealing."

Xu Xin spoke leisurely, completely unconcerned. Even if no one bid, it would not matter if he bought them himself. He had money anyway.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, they bid! Quick, quick, bid!" Tang Hao said excitedly.

Clearly, he thought Xu Xin was bidding on this to please A Yin. Now that the other side had bid, he would not hold back.

Tang Xiao nodded. "Three hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins!"

On the other side, after Tang Xiao placed his bid, Xu Xin smiled and said, "See? Isn't there some fool bidding now?"

"But why does that voice sound so familiar?"

A Yin smiled as well. She really had been too naïve. "It's those two from earlier!"

A Yin's voice turned cold.

Xu Xin froze, then directly called out, "Five hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins!!"

"Big Brother, quick, quick, we can't let him get what he wants!" Tang Hao hurriedly urged.

Tang Xiao nodded. "Eight hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins."

"Hahaha, guy across from us, if you have the guts, bid again!" Tang Hao mocked disdainfully.

These... these two were not idiots, were they?

Xu Xin was somewhat speechless. Since that was the case: "Two million!"

"Hahahaha, four million Golden Soul Coins..."

"Hao, wait—"

Tang Xiao had just wanted to stop him, but Tang Hao had already shouted it out...

"Big Brother, what are you doing? Did you forget that we can't let this guy get what he wants?"

Tang Hao spoke unhappily. He was getting revenge on the other side, yet his big brother was being far too cowardly!!

Tang Xiao: "??"

Tang Xiao said nothing... After waiting for quite some time, Xu Xin still did not bid again.

"Hahahaha, guy across from us, what's wrong? Can't do it anymore? Hahahaha!"

Seeing that the other side had not bid for so long, Tang Hao laughed smugly!!

He was in such a good mood!!

Only Tang Xiao wore a dark expression. His foolish little brother!

Truly foolish. He had not even had time to stop him. That mouth was just too fast!!!

After taking several deep breaths, Tang Xiao finally calmed down a little. "You idiot!!!"

Tang Xiao directly roared.
