"Double Experience Card?"

The auction items at the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion were getting stranger and stranger. She could not make sense of them at all.

Bibi Dong was not particularly excited, only somewhat curious.

Once one's Soul Power Level reached Level 90, each further level took years to advance, and it depended not only on time but even more on comprehension.

That was also why Titled Douluo were so rare across the entire Douluo Continent.

Thus, this Double Experience Card was of little use to powerhouses like them.

However, it held immense value for low-level Spirit Masters, such as Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and other members of the younger generation.

"Nana, it's a treasure that boosts cultivation speed! Amazing, amazing!" Yan danced with excitement.

Hu Liena shot him a glance. "I'm not blind. Of course I saw it."

"Could the card's effect be fake?" Xie Yue asked with some doubt. As the team captain, he always considered more than the others.

"Brother, you're overthinking it. If any other Auction Pavilion brought out a card like this, I wouldn't believe a single word of it."

Then Hu Liena said with certainty, "But this is the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion. If they can produce something as precious as Sage's Blessing, how could they possibly fake it?"

"I support Nana." Yan stood behind Hu Liena and raised both hands. "I'm also a loyal fan of the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion."

Hu Liena analyzed, "Our Soul Power Levels are all in the forties right now, and each level takes several months to advance. With these Double Experience Cards, the time we spend cultivating will be greatly reduced."

"There are ten Double Experience Cards in total. How about the three of us bid on them together, then divide them according to how much each of us contributes?"

"Dai Laoda, aren't you a little too excited?"

Oscar looked at Dai Mubai, who had suddenly sat upright in his chair, unable to understand why he was reacting so strongly.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai and naturally understood.

Dai Mubai's talent was not poor to begin with. If he successfully won the bid and gained double cultivation speed...

Given enough time, his Soul Power Level might even catch up to Dai Weisi's...

But did he have the money?

"It's nothing. I just wanted to move around a little," Dai Mubai replied perfunctorily.

Yet inwardly, he felt exceptionally dejected. Two months had passed since he sent that letter to his father, yet it had vanished without a trace and there had been no reply.

It seemed his father had no intention of helping him.

He was furious!!

His father appeared to treat all his sons equally, but in Dai Mubai's eyes, that was the greatest unfairness of all.

Dai Weisi was the First Prince, six whole years older than him.

Six entire years! How unfair was that? Dai Mubai was confident that if he and Dai Weisi had started from the same line, his Soul Power Level would not be inferior to Dai Weisi's.

But those six years had left him one step behind, and every step after that behind as well.

"First Prince, I never expected the very first auction item to be exactly what we need."

Inside the Blue Box, Zhu Zhuyun exclaimed in delight.

They had originally come to Spirit City merely to join in the excitement. Yet by sheer chance, the first auction item had filled them with joy.

Dai Weisi was already far ahead of all the other Princes. With the aid of these Double Experience Cards, his Soul Power Level would surely leave everyone else in the dust and widen the gap between them.

That way, no one would be able to threaten him anymore, and the throne would be within easy reach.

"Your Excellency Daji, hurry up and begin. My wallet is already roaring."

While many people were discussing the item and marveling over it, others began urging her to start.

As soon as those words were spoken, many echoed the sentiment.

"Exactly. Talking is pointless. In the end, it all comes down to whose wallet is thicker."

"Hehe, these Double Experience Cards are good stuff. The All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament isn't far off. If we sell them to the major academies then, we'll definitely make a fortune."

"Damn, brother, you're quick-witted. You thought of the business opportunity in the blink of an eye."

"Brothers, please give this old man some face. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and you all know my Old Wang family has only one line of descent. I want to bid on these Double Experience Cards as a gift for my grandson."

"Nani?? Only one line of descent? Who doesn't know that you, Old Wang, are a notorious playboy? You probably have too many illegitimate children to count on one hand."

"Haha, those were mistakes from my younger days. They don't count, they don't count."

Quite a few people in the auction house had the same thoughts as them, each with their own little schemes.

They were all individuals with formidable Soul Power Levels. Raising their Soul Power Level no longer depended solely on time, but also on comprehension.

Although they did not need the Double Experience Cards themselves, every one of them was eager to fight for them.

At a special moment, or when encountering some filthy rich fool, the value of these Double Experience Cards might far exceed their price in this auction house.

"I understand everyone's eagerness, but many of you are attending an auction for the first time, so I will go over the rules once more."

"The Invitation Token will automatically convert your treasures into Auction Points according to their value."

"During the auction, you may not falsely bid beyond the maximum value of the stakes you can afford."

"During the auction, you may not use your own strength to threaten others. The auction considers only the stakes."

"Lastly, I advise you all not to violate the Auction Pavilion's rules. Otherwise, no matter who you are, you will receive the corresponding punishment."

Daji's tone seemed calm, and coming from her mouth, it even carried a soft, adorable quality.

Yet no one dared to take it lightly.

"Alright, the auction will now begin."

"Ten Double Experience Cards. The starting bid is Ten Thousand Auction Points, with a minimum increment of One Thousand Auction Points."

"Bidding begins."

"Eleven Thousand Auction Points!"

"Thirteen Thousand Auction Points!"

"Fifteen Thousand Auction Points!"

As Daji's words fell, bids rang out one after another throughout the auction house.

The atmosphere in the entire auction house began to grow heated.

Whether they needed them or not, they would bid first and worry about it later. In any case, they would not lose money.

Who would not want to take part in a guaranteed profit?

The bids soared all the way to Twenty Thousand Auction Points.

"Twenty-One Thousand Auction Points."

Inside the Purple Box, Dai Mubai was eager to give it a try as he called out his bid.

Although the Star Luo Emperor had not supported him, Dai Mubai was still a Prince, so he had some valuable possessions on him.

After the first auction ended, he had packed up every valuable thing he owned for the sake of attending the second auction, just in case he could snag a bargain.

But thinking he could buy ten Double Experience Cards for Twenty-One Thousand Auction Points was absolutely impossible.

Fierce bidding erupted throughout the auction house once more.

"Twenty-Two Thousand Auction Points!"

"Twenty-Five Thousand Auction Points!"

"Twenty-Six Thousand Auction Points!"

Damn it...

They really were not leaving anyone a way to survive.

Seeing the insane prices, Dai Mubai slumped back into his chair...

Ma Hongjun said, "Dai Laoda, give it up. This isn't something we can participate in..."

Oscar asked in confusion, "We're back to the original question. Why did Pavilion Master Su Mu give us Invitation Tokens?"
