Auctioning a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! Even Super Douluo Covet It?

"An auction?"

Upon hearing this,

among the ten great elders, only two remained after this incident—Fifth Elder and Eighth Elder. They immediately said,

"To hold an auction, either a consignor must provide items for the Auction House to auction on their behalf, or the Auction House itself must put up items for sale!"

"Now that the Langya Auction House has just gone through such upheaval, practically no consignors will be willing to bring their treasures here for auction!"

"As for the treasures within the Langya Auction House, First Elder, Second Elder, and their people have nearly depleted them all. Without enough valuable items held in reserve, it will be difficult to attract customers to the auction!"

Lin Shu naturally understood this.

If it had been a few days ago, the Langya Auction House truly would have found it difficult to hold an auction anytime soon.

But things were different now.

For an Auction House, the two most important things were customers and auction items.

Or rather, the auction items were the most important.

After all, aside from a small number of long-term partners, most Auction House customers came and went. They were highly replaceable.

With auction items—or rather, valuable auction items—customers would always come.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shu said,

"You need not worry about that!"

"Since I can find five Titled Douluo to serve under me, I can naturally find suitable auction items as well!"

"You two are the only ones in this incident who did not collude with those two old bastards. Therefore, you will be fully responsible for the preliminary publicity of the upcoming auction!"

"Since we are holding an auction, if we do not reveal a few hints, and given that the Langya Auction House has just gone through upheaval, others may not come!"

"Spread the word that seven days from now, the Langya Auction House will auction off a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. There will also be all sorts of rare pills that can increase Soul Power, as well as an astonishing finale item that will be of enormous benefit even to Super Douluo!"

"While promoting it, you may indirectly reveal that the Langya Auction House has gained five more mysterious Titled Douluo. With five Titled Douluo overseeing the place, our credibility will rise by several levels!"

The moment Lin Shu said this,

Fifth Elder and Eighth Elder were both greatly shocked.

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone?

The Langya Auction House actually still had such a treasure?

They understood that Lin Shu must have found it himself.

Otherwise, if the Langya Auction House had possessed such a treasure, it would certainly have fallen prey to First Elder and Second Elder and been absorbed by them.

Of course, Soul Bones could be seized by killing their owners.

Previously, when First Elder, Second Elder, and the two Titled Douluo had died, no Soul Bones had dropped. Clearly, they did not possess any.

Fifth Elder and Eighth Elder could not understand what Lin Shu had experienced in just a few short days.

Not only had he gained five Titled Douluo as subordinates, but he had also acquired an extremely rare treasure like a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone—and was even willing to put it up for auction.

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was an item of immense value to any martial artist.

The same was true for Lin Shu himself.

Moreover, from Lin Shu's words, it seemed that there was an even more mysterious finale item, one that was useful even to Super Douluo. That left much to the imagination.

Super Douluo were different from Titled Douluo. They were true powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

They could rank on an Empire's Title Douluo Ranking and receive the reverence of hundreds of millions of people from the Human Race.

There were practically no treasures left that could be of great use even to such beings.

Yet Lin Shu not only possessed one, but was actually willing to auction it off. It was simply astonishing.

They did not believe Lin Shu was engaging in false advertising. After all, if he did, and a Super Douluo truly came to attend the auction, he would be offending a Super Douluo.

In the past, they would certainly have tried to persuade him not to exaggerate the publicity so much.

But now, after this incident, Lin Shu, the new Guild Master of the Langya Auction House, possessed absolute authority. They could not question him.

They nodded, left the main hall, and went to make preparations according to Lin Shu's instructions.

Very soon,

news began spreading from the Langya Auction House.

As a top force in the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities, although the Langya Auction House had gone through upheaval, its promotional channels had not been greatly affected.

The news quickly spread without wings, traveling from the Langya Auction House throughout Langya City and across the entire Land of Hundred Cities.

For a time, countless large and small factions throughout the Land of Hundred Cities, along with hundreds of millions of people, learned of the news.

"What? The Langya Auction House is holding an auction?"

"No way. Didn't the Guild Master of the Langya Auction House just die? Isn't there an internal struggle for power going on? They still have the mood to hold an auction?"

Soon, they received further news.

The power struggle within the Langya Auction House had already come to an end.

First Elder, Second Elder, several elders who followed them, dozens of high-ranking officials from the various branches, and even two Titled Douluo had all been killed.

The one who ultimately succeeded the position was Lin Shu, the son of the previous Guild Master.

According to the news, five mysterious Titled Douluo had appeared under Lin Shu's command. With those five mysterious Titled Douluo, the power struggle had been resolved so easily.

When this news spread, the people of the Land of Hundred Cities were quite shocked.

News that could be spread publicly was most likely true. Otherwise, as an Auction House, spreading false news would severely damage its reputation. Who would attend its auction then?

Sure enough, when everyone investigated and confirmed that First Elder and Second Elder of the Langya Auction House had indeed been killed, they did not know whether the five Titled Douluo were real.

However, First Elder and Second Elder had two Titled Douluo behind them. Since they had now been killed, the matter of the five Titled Douluo was clearly true. Otherwise, they would not have been killed.

Yet the news that followed shocked everyone even more.

Among the auction items this time, the Langya Auction House would actually be selling a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

"What? A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone? That is a precious item that can be absorbed by anyone, from Titled Douluo down to ordinary Martial Ancestors and Soul Kings with forty or fifty levels of Soul Power!"

"Does the Langya Auction House truly have the audacity to put such a treasure up for auction?"

"That is nothing. While such a Soul Bone is certainly astonishing, I heard that the finale item will be even more beneficial to Super Douluo. It is hard to imagine what it could be!"

"No way, could they possibly be putting up a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"

"Who knows? Although the previous Guild Master of the Langya Auction House has died, the Auction House has instead become even more mysterious!"

"Come on, let's go take a look. The auction will begin in a few days anyway. We will know whether it is real or fake once we see it!"

"That's right. If it is real, being able to witness such a treasure will make the trip worthwhile. If it is fake, it will certainly provoke the fury of the many powerhouses attending the auction, and we can watch a good show. Either way, we will not lose out!"

With such thoughts in mind, many people traveled from thousands of miles away toward Langya City...
