As the "System" voice fell, ten indigo light pillars descended from the sky, landing directly on ten red wooden chairs!
After the light dissipated, ten figures appeared one by one.
A faint black mist obscured everyone, making it impossible to discern their clothing or appearance.
However, as the owner of the Misty Auction House, Lin Ziyi could see everyone clearly through the mist:
Dressed luxuriously and exuding an extraordinary aura, every single one of them was undeniably wealthy!
A strange black mist once again enveloped Lin Ziyi, adding an air of mystery to him and concealing his handsome features.
Looking at the ten bewildered people on the chairs, The young man realized that this Misty Auction House could pull anyone from anywhere, as long as they met the bidding requirements!
His gaze swept across the faces of the ten individuals, and Lin Ziyi suddenly found the appearance of three of them somewhat familiar!
The man in seat number one had a handsome and mature face, with long, sacred golden hair, and exuded a divine aura that only Lin Ziyi could sense!
Seated in number six was a stunningly beautiful older woman, her snow-white hair cascading down her back, her sea-blue eyes conveying both gentleness and a hint of coldness...
In seat number ten was a man clad in blood-red armor, exuding an aura of death, his terrifying appearance like a demon from hell!
Lin Ziyi felt that the images of these three people were very similar to three peak Douluo from the Douluo Continent!
He hadn't expected the System to be able to "invite" them too. Could the System's power have reached god-level?!
Just as Lin Ziyi was appraising the three, a fat man in a black suit, with a bloated figure, in seat number two suddenly spoke:
"Oh, my god of wealth! This is absolutely the most rudimentary auction I've ever attended in my life!
"If Kafu hadn't drained my energy last night, I definitely wouldn't be having such a strange dream right now!
"When I wake up, I'm going to kick her butt hard with my shiny black pointed leather shoes!"
Hearing that damned accent, Lin Ziyi let out a smile.
This fat man thought he was dreaming... which was indeed a normal reaction for someone.
Although Lin Ziyi could see the other person's appearance, he couldn't determine if they were a Soul Master or not, and he didn't know if they were feigning ignorance or genuinely thought they were dreaming.
After all, he himself was just a rookie Soul Master at "Level 0"...
The fat man's opening instantly brought the others back to their senses.
A pink-haired loli in a Lolita outfit with an exquisite appearance, seated in number four, let out a soft "hmph" towards the fat man:
"Even though I can't hear your specific voice, can you tone down that disgusting accent? It's really lame~"
Seeing someone question his taste, the fat man in seat number two immediately retorted:
"Oh, my god of wealth! You are truly not elegant enough.
"This is not what you call an accent, but the tone commonly used among us nobles!
"It's filled with extreme elegance and a sense of ritual, something you commoners will never understand... the upper class!"
The little loli scoffed dismissively and ignored him further.
For the next while, everyone except the three peak Douluo started chattering incessantly.
Only the three strongest Soul Masters on the continent kept their eyes fixed on the humanoid figure on the circular stage, seemingly composed of black mist.
Clearly, they all knew they weren't dreaming but had genuinely arrived in a bizarre space!
The silent figure on the stage was undoubtedly the culprit who had summoned them!
The three of them couldn't understand how, with their strength as Level 99 Limit Douluo, they were unable to resist this summoning.
Could this black mist person be a god-level existence?!
Just as everyone was in confusion, Lin Ziyi on the auction stage finally spoke:
"Quiet."
The two words casually uttered sounded like a thunderous explosion to everyone's ears, startling them into silence!
The three peak Douluo wore expressions of stunned disbelief! Because that voice had made their souls tremble!
They became even more convinced that this black mist person was an incredibly noble being!!
Seeing that everyone had obediently quieted down, Lin Ziyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was his first time hosting an auction, and coupled with his insufficient strength, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control the situation.
But now, it seemed these people were giving him some face...
Having already carefully chosen his words, he introduced them:
"As you can all see and feel, you are not dreaming, but have arrived at my Misty Auction House!
"Only those who are fated with this auction house will be invited here.
"I will be holding a grand auction here, with items that are rare treasures of the world!
"If you possess sufficient wealth, you can obtain unprecedented power from me!"
After hearing the words of the person in the black mist, some in the audience gasped in amazement, some were confused, and others were fearful and lost...
But it was clear that they were all convinced they weren't dreaming! They had truly arrived at an indescribable and bizarre place!
The man sitting in seat number one was none other than the Great Enshrined Elder of the Martial Soul Hall, the possessor of the Level 99 Six-Winged Angel Spirit—Qian Daoliu!
At this moment, listening to the black mist person's neutral voice, he couldn't tell if the other party was male or female!
Furthermore, he found that he couldn't even stand up, which he had simply wanted to do.
An invisible force had stuck his buttocks to the seat, making it impossible for him to leave!
His Soul Power, which he was so proud of, was completely unusable, including his Spirit Bone Skills and his self-created Soul Skills...
It seemed this Misty Auction House was a Domain-like existence.
Within this mysterious and infinite Domain, none of their abilities could be used!
Lin Ziyi looked at the still somewhat apprehensive crowd and said gently, "Everyone, please rest assured. As long as you don't do anything out of line and calmly accompany me to complete this auction, there will be no danger. But if anyone dares to disrupt the auction order or hinder its progress... I will make them pay a price they cannot bear!"
Hearing these threatening words, everyone exchanged glances, not daring to say more.
Only the man in seat number ten, with a devilish scowl, urged, "Then hurry up and start! I want to see what kind of treasures you, this charlatan, can produce!"
Hearing these impolite words, Lin Ziyi's gaze suddenly fell upon the man's face.
This man, who looked like a devil, was none other than Tang Chen, Tang San's great-grandfather!
However, he was clearly still the King of Slaughter, possessed by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King!
He had originally just glanced at the man casually.
But when his gaze met the King of Slaughter's eyes, it felt like a hot iron branding the man's eyes!
A thought suddenly surged in the King of Slaughter's heart, filling him with bone-chilling dread:
Do not offend the divine! Do not speak ill of the divine!! Do not look directly at the divine!!!
ps: The original work stated, "One Gold Soul Coin was enough for a family of three to spend for several months." Let's assume a typical family's monthly expenses in reality are one thousand. Then "several months" would be nine months. So, one Gold Soul Coin in our reality would have a purchasing power of around ten thousand yuan. However, the original work also stated, "One Gold Soul Coin could buy 150 loaves of bread." Converting this to modern prices, one loaf of bread would cost a whopping 66 yuan... Putting aside whether such expensive bread exists in reality, even if it did, would an ordinary family be able to afford it as daily food? Furthermore, the original work also stated, "Two Bronze Soul Coins could buy a cheap boxed meal." And 1 Gold Soul Coin = 100 Bronze Soul Coins ≈ [currency value]. So 1 Bronze Soul Coin ≈ 100 yuan. Two Bronze Soul Coins, or two hundred yuan, would only buy a cheap boxed meal... Why are things on Douluo Continent so expensive? At this point, dear readers, you should be able to see how severely the currency system in the original Douluo work is broken, right? However, it was a book from over a decade ago, so such oversights are normal and completely understandable. But understanding is understanding; as a fanfiction, one cannot continue to use the errors from the original work, can they? That would be too irresponsible to our dear readers~ But I have never been an author who likes to use exaggerated large numbers to grab attention. Don't those other authors who casually throw around prices in the hundreds of millions or tens of billions feel awkward and fake when writing them? So, I will explain to all dear readers in advance that in this book, 1 Gold Soul Coin = 10 Silver Soul Coins = 100 Bronze Soul Coins ≈ [RMB value]. Even though the novel is different from our reality, I, as a small author, do not want the prices in the novel to deviate from a realistic basis. But as long as readers substitute the prices with real-world equivalents, they will find that the prices I've written are actually not low at all! Therefore, this book will not present exaggerated large numbers later on. I hope dear readers can understand and be a little forgiving~ ???
