Million Gold Soul Coins! Lin Shu Draws Again!

Liao Wushang.

A man's shadow, a tree's name.

Liao Wushang's reputation was simply too resounding throughout the entire Eastern Martial Region.

He came from the Heavenly Poison Mansion.

The Heavenly Poison Mansion was a subordinate branch of the Poison God Mansion, one of the continent's Upper Seven Sects.

The Poison God Mansion gathered Soul Masters from across the continent with all manner of highly poisonous Martial Souls.

There were Poison Beast Martial Souls, Poison Tool Martial Souls, and all sorts of rare and exotic Martial Souls imbued with poison.

Liao Wushang was the master of the Heavenly Poison Mansion.

Unlike Tang Xin of Begonia Pavilion and Nie Rongrong of the Glazed Sect.

Though those two held noble statuses, they were ultimately still young and had yet to fully mature.

Liao Wushang, however, had already grown into his strength.

Rumor had it that he was a level ninety-seven Super Douluo.

His Martial Soul was the Golden Toad.

Do not be fooled by how pleasant the Martial Soul's name sounded.

Liao Wushang's Martial Soul was a mutated Golden Toad.

The Golden Toad itself was among the most poisonous of all toad species.

Its mutated Martial Soul was even more poisonous still.

It was said that if Liao Wushang wished it, he could turn an army of a hundred thousand soldiers into pus within a quarter of an hour.

Once, Liao Wushang entered Heavenly North Ridge in the Northern Martial Region.

Though called a ridge, Heavenly North Ridge was actually a massive mountain range stretching across the Northern Martial Region.

Liao Wushang entered alone and was besieged by a riot of more than a hundred thousand Soul Beasts within Heavenly North Ridge.

Yet Liao Wushang emerged without a scratch. Later, people who entered discovered that a stretch of mountains spanning more than a hundred li within Heavenly North Ridge had become a poisonous domain.

Even ordinary Title Douluos could not last an hour after entering it, while Soul Douluos would inevitably be poisoned to death within a quarter of an hour.

And that was after Liao Wushang had already left. If one faced him directly, it was impossible to imagine what terrifying poison one would encounter.

Fortunately.

Though Liao Wushang was poisonous from head to toe, he acted with great caution. There had never been any reports of him carrying out large-scale massacres within Human Race territory.

He had even clashed with Soul Beast races many times for the sake of the Human Race. Over the years, the Soul Beasts that had died by his hand likely numbered no fewer than a million.

Thus, Liao Wushang ranked among the top hundred on the Myriad Beast Tomb's wanted list.

Now that the Nine Netherworld Python Soul Bone had appeared, Liao Wushang had also developed a strong interest in it.

"I never expected to encounter a Nine Netherworld Python here!"

"Back then, this old man wished many times to hunt a Nine Netherworld Python for its Soul Ring!"

"But the Nine Netherworld Cave where the Nine Netherworld Python dwells is extraordinarily mysterious. It may lie buried deep beneath some mysterious mountain range, tens of thousands of zhang underground, and simply cannot be found!"

"If I can obtain this Soul Bone now, it will count as fulfilling one of my wishes!"

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone did not offer him much improvement.

However, the Nine Netherworld Python Soul Bone might retain the aura of a Nine Netherworld Python.

Perhaps he could use it to find the Nine Netherworld Cave, the Nine Netherworld Python's lair. Its value would then be beyond measure.

After Liao Wushang spoke, no one else said another word.

There was no helping it. One million Gold Soul Coins had already exceeded the value of this Soul Bone.

If it had been a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, they could still have raised the price and competed for it, but it was ultimately only a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Moreover, the Nine Netherworld Python itself was a highly poisonous Soul Beast. It was more suitable in Liao Wushang's hands than in theirs.

"Alright, since no one else is bidding, this Ten Thousand Year Nine Netherworld Python Soul Bone shall go to Liao Wushang!"

With Su Qian's announcement, the auction for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone came to an end.

"Another 1.3 million Gold Soul Coins credited!"

"With what I had before, I now have a total of 1.35 million Auction Points!"

Lin Shu opened the system panel and inspected it directly.

God-tier Auction System

Mission: Hold an auction (in progress)

Gift Pack: Newbie Gift Pack (claimed)

Tip: The Host may use Gold Soul Coins to increase the chance of drawing ninth-grade items! (Current ninth-grade chance: 31%)

Lin Shu glanced at the system panel.

Then he silently said in his heart:

"System, help me raise the ninth-grade probability to over fifty percent first!"

"Ding! The Host needs to spend 1.08 million Auction Points to raise the ninth-grade probability to 51%. After the increase, the Host will have a 51% chance of drawing ninth-grade items and a 1% chance of drawing divine-grade items. Ten draws guarantee at least five ninth-grade items, while one hundred draws guarantee at least one divine-grade item!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu nodded silently, then confirmed in a low voice.

"Yes, System!"

Just like that.

The 1.08 million Auction Points Lin Shu had just converted were instantly deducted. Of his 1.35 million Auction Points, only 270,000 remained.

However, Lin Shu did not feel the slightest bit of heartache.

After all, ten draws now guaranteed five ninth-grade items, and one hundred draws guaranteed one divine-grade item.

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone had sold for one million Gold Soul Coins, and that was not even a ninth-grade item.

Five ninth-grade items put up for auction would unquestionably be worth more than ten million.

No matter how he calculated it, he definitely would not lose out!

While Su Qian auctioned the fourth item, the Level 4 Soul Power Pill, Lin Shu could no longer wait to draw and indulge his luck as a European emperor.

With that thought, Lin Shu said directly in his heart:

"System, I want to draw!"

"Ding! The Host's ninth-grade probability has increased to 51%, making ninth-grade items more likely to be drawn. Therefore, each draw now costs 1,600 Auction Points!"

Lin Shu was only slightly stunned when he heard that, but he soon stopped caring.

To Lin Shu, one draw for one hundred Auction Points and one draw for sixteen hundred Auction Points.

The difference between them was not actually that great.

After all, drawing any ninth-grade item at random would far exceed that cost!

Besides, even if he cared, what could Lin Shu do when the system had set the price like this?

"Hurry up. Let's start with ten draws to test the waters!"

Lin Shu muttered indifferently in his heart.

As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking.

In an instant.

16,000 Auction Points were deducted.

To Lin Shu, 16,000 Auction Points were practically nothing.

But when he thought of the guarantee of five ninth-grade items in ten draws, Lin Shu's anticipation rose.

The familiar Lottery Wheel spun before Lin Shu's eyes.

The wheel spun for a long time before slowly coming to a stop.

As the Lottery Wheel stopped spinning.

The system's notification sounded in Lin Shu's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing three Level 1 Unrestricted Soul Power Pills!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing one Hundred Thousand Year Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Bone skull!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing the Ninth-Grade Soul Tool, Cosmic Bowl!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing one Hundred Thousand Year Titan Giant Ape Soul Ring right leg bone!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining four Level 5 Soul Power Pills!"

Ten draws, ten auction items.

Listening to the system notifications, Lin Shu grinned.

He had actually drawn six ninth-grade items.

That was one more than the guaranteed amount, a truly unexpected delight.

Lin Shu had originally thought he would only receive the guaranteed rewards.

Looks like I really am a European emperor!

Lin Shu thought silently.
