Who would claim the Dragon Pearl

Seeing the Dead Fatty's smug expression, Qiangu Changkong really wanted to punch him to death.

However, the auction was about to begin, and he didn't want to get entangled with the other party and miss the opportunity to bid.

The auctioneer announced, "The value of the East Sea Azure Dragon's Dragon Pearl from the East Sea is surely known to all of you. Without further ado, the starting bid is 500,000 Gold Soul Coin, and each bid must be at least 50,000 Gold Soul Coin higher."

The words had barely left his mouth when, just as the Black VIP was eager to make an offer, a sound rang out from the room.

Two million Gold Soul Coin!

The person who made the offer was none other than Wu Qi, who had been slacking off all along.

The Dragon Pearl of the East Sea Azure Dragon is of great help in enhancing the Dragon Soul of the Qiangu Changkong; there's no reason to miss it if you encounter it.

For a moment, countless guests looked in astonishment toward the Purple VIP Seats area.

Wu Qi, sitting in an inconspicuous corner, actually had the audacity to ask for a price of two million Gold Soul Coin?

A moment later, laughter echoed throughout the room. Several Black VIP said with dissatisfaction, "This Auction House is ridiculous. Even if they hired shills, they can't bid like this!"

"Does this kid even know how big a mountain of gold two million Gold Soul Coin can be piled up into?"

The Chai Brothers couldn't help but frown.

"Brother, is this kid joking? Two million Gold Soul Coin? Even cutting off their flesh wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt."

Chai Rong became even more cautious, his previous disdain replaced by a grave expression. "No, perhaps they were sent by another force, merely to muddy the waters. Whether that's true or not, we'll see."

Questioned by several Black VIP, the auctioneer was somewhat embarrassed. To ease the awkwardness, he looked at Wu Qi and said, "This VIP, prices aren't something you can just bid on arbitrarily. If you can't afford it, it will delay the auction."

If the other party wins the bid but can't afford to pay, wouldn't the item go unsold, causing a loss for the Auction House?

Therefore, he added, "If this VIP has just woken up and hasn't figured out the situation, then let's start filming again, how about that?"

Qiangu Changkong stood up from his seat and sneered, "I'll make this clear: if we brothers don't have the money to buy what we've bid on today, we'll leave our lives here!"

"Questioning whether we have enough funds? Ha! If you want items to auction, let your capabilities speak for themselves."

After these words, the guests present had various thoughts.

Some people think that the two of them were sitting in the Purple VIP Seats to play dumb and take advantage of others.

After all, who would risk their life just to show off in front of others?

However, some people think that these two were just there to cause trouble; or that the Auction House staged a show to drive up prices.

A short while later, a Black VIP said with a smile, "Young friend, you have great courage! I offer two million one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Regardless of Wu Qi and his companion's intentions, with a Black VIP providing backup, they had weathered this storm.

However, it's a bit far-fetched that a Dragon Pearl, which is only of great help to Dragon-Type Soul Master, is priced more exorbitantly than a Soul Bone.

Most of the Black VIP immediately lost interest and gave up bidding.

The fat man sitting next to Wu Qi and his companion looked at them with astonishment and even fear. "Who... who are you?"

Despite being surrounded by numerous Black VIP and facing the Auction House's "interrogation," he remained calm and composed, a composure that is truly remarkable.

Just now, the two of them spoke with great confidence, and this was definitely not an act.

Without giving him a chance to pry, Wu Qi turned to him and said with a smile, "If you want to live, go backstage now, take the auction items, and then take your men and run as far away as possible."

The items that the Dead Fatty bought were overpriced and not very helpful to the Soul Master.

Leaving early means the powerful figures lying in ambush won't disrupt their plans for someone insignificant.

But if he gets caught up in the aftermath, no one can help him.

The fat man swallowed hard, nodded blankly, and then got up from his seat.

Inside the private room, upon seeing that the price of the Dragon Pearl had approached three million Gold Soul Coin, the Chai Brothers' expressions turned extremely grim.

"Big brother, even if this kid really has that much money, the price clearly exceeds the value of the Dragon Pearl themselves. Could it be that their target is that guy too?"

Chai Rong shook his head, his face grim. "By bidding like this, it's clear they're after the Dragon Pearl."

"Damn it, we underestimated these two guys' backgrounds. We're probably headed for a three-way battle."

For Wu Qi and his companion, money was no longer of any meaning; being able to spend money to buy Cultivation resources was considered a profit for them.

However, they had limited funds and couldn't keep bidding against the Black VIP.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Qi stood up and looked at the auctioneer in the Great Soul Arena. "Auctioneer, would it be possible to use barter as the bidding chips?"

The auctioneer smiled and replied, "Distinguished guest, bartering is certainly possible. However, the value of each item you offer must not be less than one Gold Soul Coin. Our Auction House only accepts high-quality items."

Wu Qi smiled calmly and asked, "How many Gold Soul Coin can I get for these two seven-hundred-year-old Soul Bone?"

Although Soul Bone may attract the attention of Soul Master, the value of Hundred Year Soul Bone is very low and not enough to tempt the powerful.

Bringing it out now won't attract much attention.

Furthermore, the two pieces of the Wolf Bandit Soul Bone are neither worth eating nor worth throwing away; selling them for cash is the best option.

Soon, the Auction House manager came out from backstage and said, "Sir, someone is willing to buy your two Soul Bone for 200,000 Gold Soul Coin. What do you think?"

Wu Qi casually tossed the Soul Bone to the other party, then sat back down in his chair. "On top of the 2.9 million Gold Soul Coin, I'll add another 200,000 Gold Soul Coin."

Three million one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin —that's enough to buy a decent-aged Soul Bone. Going any further would clearly exceed the value of the Dragon Pearl itself.

Furthermore, there are other ways to acquire items at auction.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Black VIP decided not to bid any further, and was ultimately won by Wu Qi.

After instructing Qiangu Changkong to purchase the auction items backstage, Wu Qi sat quietly in the Auction House, waiting for the auction to end.

During the auction just now, the Black VIP accidentally revealed some of his aura, revealing him to be a low-level Titled Douluo powerhouse.

The Chai Brothers are also keeping a close eye on who will get the Dragon Pearl.

What follows is likely to be a fierce battle.

However, it was all worth it to help Qiangu Changkong obtain the Dragon Pearl.

The next three items to be auctioned were all Soul Tool needed by Sea Spirit Master, Wu Qi naturally had no interest in.

With the bidding for the final three items concluded, the auction came to an end.

It was already late at night. Wu Qi spread his Spiritual Power and could clearly sense the restless crowd Auction House.

He took out a clean handkerchief from his Soul Tool, wiped his hands, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
