Driving Up Prices, Blue Lightning Tyrant Shill!
"Please make yourselves at home, I'll take my leave!"
After saying this, Dugu Bo, unusually, showed some courtesy, cupped his hands to the many powerful and influential people in the hall, and then turned into a green light again, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Just then, the entire auction hall suddenly went dark.
Just as everyone thought something had happened, all the Lighting Soul Guidance Device on the dome of the entire hall were turned on, and beams of bright light shone down, enveloping the auction stage.
Instantly, the entire auction stage shone brightly.
The next moment, the floor of the auction stage split open to both sides, revealing an underground passage, and a girl dressed in a shimmering silver dress slowly walked out.
The girl had cascading black hair, was exceptionally beautiful, and had fair and radiant skin. A silver gemstone adorned her slender neck, and her amethyst-like purple eyes made her appear like a celestial maiden descended to earth.
Clearly, this must be tonight's auctioneer.
"What a nice view..."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Some powerful Soul Master, however, changed their expressions. They discovered that this girl, not even twenty years old, was actually at the Soul Saint level!
What methods did Purple Micro Palace use to cultivate such a genius?
The First Sect Under Heaven, truly extraordinary!
Meanwhile, in VIP Room No. 7, the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Because they discovered that the auctioneer was actually the family's darling daughter, Miss Yu Tianmeng!
"This girl... she really is on the same side as that Zhou Chen."
Yu Xingchen gave a wry smile, and then suddenly realized with shock that his great-granddaughter's Soul Power had actually increased from level 56 two months ago to level 70 or above!
How is it possible to advance from Soul King to Soul Saint in just two months?
A deep shock flashed in Yu Xingchen's eyes. He suddenly realized that the reason his precious great-granddaughter had changed so much must be closely related to Zhou Chen, the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace.
At this moment, Yu Tianmeng was already standing on the auction stage, holding an Amplifying Soul Tool in her hand. She smiled sweetly and said, "Welcome, distinguished guests! I am your auctioneer, Mengmeng. Today's auction item is only one: Longevity Pill! There are fifty Longevity Pill in total, and only one will be auctioned at a time!"
"Alright, the auction is now beginning. Now, esteemed guests, please appreciate the Longevity Pill!"
As she spoke, Yu Tianmeng took a small step back and gestured with her right hand, inviting him to leave.
Suddenly, a cylinder about one meter in diameter rose from the ground beneath the auction platform, with a large golden tray on top of it.
On the tray were pills, each the size of a longan, radiating a silvery glow.
Fifty priceless Longevity Pill were laid out before everyone!
In an instant, everyone's eyes blazed with fervor, and many even wore expressions of greed and ruthlessness, seemingly eager to make a move, clearly harboring ill intentions.
Seeing this, Yu Tianmeng chuckled, and a silver light flashed in her hand, and a silver shield appeared in her hand.
"Silver Moon Divine Light Shroud, rises!"
Yu Tianmeng tossed the silver shield in her hand upwards, and suddenly, a silver light screen completely sealed off the entire auction stage!
How strong is the defense of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shroud? As far as Zhou Chen knows, attacks from those below the Title Douluo are completely ineffective!
Moreover, with the two titled Douluo, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and Azure Dragon Douluo Lin Yang, guarding the auction stage and with the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, it was practically foolproof.
This was done out of caution, and it was something Zhou Chen and Yu Tianmeng had discussed beforehand.
After all, robberies of auction items have happened before in the Douluo Continent.
Although the Purple Micro Palace is powerful, it's best to be cautious. If they were to be caught off guard and the Longevity Pill were stolen, it would be a laughing stock.
"Distinguished guests, these are the Longevity Pill. The starting price for each pill is five million Gold Soul Coin! Each bid must be increased by at least one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin! If no one raises the bid within one minute, the sale is considered complete!"
After a pause, Yu Tianmeng smiled slightly and said, "Then... everyone, let's begin the auction for the first Longevity Pill. Please place your bids!"
Upon hearing this, a brief silence fell over the auction hall, as if everyone was waiting for something.
Despite the awkward silence, Yu Tianmeng's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to smile sweetly. She didn't believe these people could endure it for long!
Besides, even if no one bids, she has already arranged for shills to create hype!
"Five and a half million."
The silence lasted for about three minutes before being broken by a shout of bidding coming from the back of the hall.
The person who made the bid was a beautiful young woman whom Yu Tianmeng had met at the Heaven Dou Imperial Family banquet and even had a conversation with.
She is Nan Qian Yue, the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, with the cultivation level of Soul Saint. Her family is related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family by marriage.
Although the strength of the Earth Dragon Gate is not top-tier, it should not be underestimated. Yu Tianmeng did not expect that Nan Qian Yue would be the first to make a bid.
As soon as Nan Qian Yue called out her bid, the previously quiet auction hall immediately erupted in a chain reaction, with bids ringing out one after another!
Within just half a minute, several forces made bids, raising the price to 6.3 million.
"Your bidding in increments of tens of thousands is pointless. I'll bid seven million!"
The sudden surge in price immediately drew everyone's attention to the source of the sound, eventually settling on the seats at the front of the hall.
There, a massive mountain of flesh, with white hair and beard and a stern face, was scanning the crowd with his large, bell-like eyes, giving off a sense of oppression.
He is none other than Hu Yanzhen, the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the Lower Four Sects!
Seeing that it was Hu Yanzhen who made the bid, many of his allies or those who did not want to offend him gave up bidding, since this was only the first pill.
Moreover, if the price of the Longevity Pill could be kept around seven million Gold Soul Coin, it would benefit most people present.
However, at that moment, an aged voice suddenly came from VIP room number seven on the top floor of the hall:
"Ten million Gold Soul Coin!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the entire auction hall. Many people in the hall stood up angrily, wanting to see who was bidding!
Everyone else is adding 100,000 or 500,000 in bids, but you've gone and added 3 million right off the bat. What are you trying to do?
Is the intention to force most people to withdraw from the auction?
Countless angry gazes converged on VIP Room No. 7, but the crystal curtain wall of the VIP room was one-way transparent, so people inside could see out, but people outside could not see in.
Even if someone tries to use their mental power to probe, they will be blocked by the special materials used to create the VIP room.
However, at that moment, the crystal curtain wall of the Seven Treasures Guest Room, or more precisely, a crystal window, was opened directly.
An elderly man, holding a golden scepter and dressed in dark blue robes with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family crest embroidered on his right chest, stood openly by the window, exposed to everyone.
Clearly, even if he was acting as a shill for his great-granddaughter to deliberately inflate prices, Mr. Yu Xingchen was unwilling to remain hidden.
This is the pride that flows in their family blood!
Even if they're acting as shills, they're still Blue Lightning Overlord shills!
Upon seeing that it was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the angry crowd that had stood up in the hall immediately sat back down and dared not utter another sound.
The deterrent power of the Upper Three Sects is undeniable.
