Aromatic Silk Beauty

"Two million Gold Soul Coins."

The moment Jiang Li announced the official start of bidding, Du Busi called out two million Gold Soul Coins without hesitation.

He placed tremendous importance on the Thunder Body-Forging Pill. Nearly every member of the Body Sect had already consumed large quantities of the body-forging pills that had appeared on Douluo Continent.

As a result, ordinary body-forging pills no longer had any effect on the Body Sect's disciples.

Du Busi was filled with anticipation, hoping that this Thunder Body-Forging Pill would bring them unexpected gains.

As for the Longevity Pill, they would simply pick it up along the way this time.

Lifespan was equally crucial to a Soul Master. No matter what, Du Busi did not want this Pill Recipe to fall into the hands of other factions.

At the previous auction, the Body Sect had missed out on far too many good things. This time, they had to return fully loaded no matter what.

"Two and a half million Gold Soul Coins."

At that moment, Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire also raised the bidding plaque in his hand.

To him, perhaps the Longevity Pill among them could bring him unexpected benefits.

On the ever-changing Douluo Continent, no one could predict what might happen in the future.

However, increasing one's lifespan by five years through the Longevity Pill might prove vital at a critical moment.

"Two million eight hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

At this time, Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, followed closely behind Xu Tianran and joined this fierce competition.

Next, factions such as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire also joined the intense bidding one after another.

These two pill recipes were a considerable temptation for every faction.

For a time, bids rang out one after another throughout the Auction Pavilion, and the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.

The fiercely escalating prices continued for nearly ten minutes, and under everyone's intense competition, the price of the two pill recipes soared to eight million Gold Soul Coins.

"Give up. Our target this time is still the finale auction item: the Ninth-Level Soul Tool."

From Shrek Academy's side, Mu En decisively withdrew Shrek Academy from the competition.

Mu En knew perfectly well that the Longevity Pill held no small temptation for him.

But he understood even more clearly that he could not waste too many Gold Soul Coins on a momentary impulse and miss the remaining auction items as a result.

Shrek Academy did not yet possess a Ninth-Level Soul Tool. Moreover, he suspected that the Ninth-Level Soul Tool presented by the Starry Sky Auction House might be an entirely new type of Soul Tool that had never appeared on Douluo Continent before.

No matter what, Shrek Academy had to secure this Ninth-Level Soul Tool and use it to fully develop Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.

As time passed, Soul Tools had gradually come to occupy an important position on Douluo Continent, one capable of contending with Soul Masters.

In the past, due to an incorrect development path, the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy had faced severe limitations and progressed slowly.

This time, however, was a rare opportunity for Shrek Academy. No matter what, they had to seize it firmly.

"Mu En, if you take the Longevity Pill, perhaps it could truly have some healing effect on your body."

Xuan Zi looked at Mu En with concern.

A large part of their reason for participating in the bidding for the Longevity Pill had been Mu En.

Seeing Mu En give up the bid, Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe could not help feeling worried.

"Don't worry. I can still hold on for many more years. Besides, whichever faction successfully bids for these two pill recipes will surely find a way to put them up for sale."

"When the time comes, we can simply pay a certain price to buy more Longevity Pills and Thunder Body-Forging Pills."

Mu En spoke softly, his tone calm and steady.

In a world like Douluo Continent, where profit came above all else, no one would be willing to keep a treasure they had acquired hidden away forever.

The factions that bought the pill recipes would surely trade the pills in order to gain even greater profits.

When that time came, it would still be a wise choice for Shrek Academy to purchase them.

Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe's eyes brightened slightly. They had never expected that they could buy them this way.

Mu En's speculation was very likely to become reality.

After all, once the other side obtained these two priceless treasures, they would hardly be willing to hold them without taking the opportunity to make a fortune.

Thus, Shrek Academy withdrew from the competition, and the auction for the two pill recipes gradually drew to a close.

"Ten million Gold Soul Coins, going once."

"Ten million Gold Soul Coins, going twice."

"Ten million Gold Soul Coins, going three times."

Seeing that no one around him continued to raise the price, Jiang Li confirmed it repeatedly before decisively bringing down the Auction Hammer in his hand.

"Since no one is continuing to bid, I hereby announce that the first auction item has been sold to Number 28 on the third floor."

Jiang Li's voice echoed through the Auction Pavilion as he announced the final owner of the first auction item: Du Busi of the Body Sect.

Hearing the result, a pleased smile appeared on Du Busi's face.

After a fierce struggle and considerable effort, he had finally secured the two pill recipes.

His heart was full of joy and anticipation. Next, it would be time to witness the true effects of the Thunder Body-Forging Pill.

Of course, all of that would have to wait until this auction ended.

After the first auction item was successfully sold, everyone was still immersed in the aftermath of the intense bidding. Their anticipation for the following auction items grew even stronger.

Jiang Li stood on the auction stage, his features handsome and resolute as his calm gaze swept over the crowd below.

He cleared his throat lightly, and his clear, magnetic voice rang out again. "Everyone, the first auction item has found its owner. Next, let us take a look at today's second auction item."

His voice echoed through the vast Auction Pavilion, clear and powerful like a great bell, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

As Jiang Li's words fell, Soul Power on the auction stage stirred slightly, and a faint halo slowly emerged across its surface.

Then, an exquisite crystal tray slowly rose from the halo, its surface carved with intricate patterns.

Resting atop the tray was an Immortal Herb with dazzling colors and delicate, lush blossoms. Golden veins ran across its petals, complementing the golden stamens and making it appear exceptionally noble.

The entire Immortal Herb radiated a rich aura of life. Its strange, intense fragrance spread throughout the Auction Pavilion like a spring breeze brushing across one's face, refreshing everyone's spirits.

The people greedily breathed in the fragrance, feeling every pore in their bodies open. Their exhaustion and drowsiness were swept away, while the Soul Power within them seemed to grow more active.

"This is today's second auction item—the Aromatic Silk Beauty. I believe none of you here are unfamiliar with this Immortal Herb."

Jiang Li's voice was filled with temptation as he lifted his chin slightly.
