The Highly Anticipated Fourth Auction Item

"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is a good thing. We have to get it!"

The Body Sect Master, Du Busi, stared intently at the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum on the stage, his eyes gleaming with delight.

His hands clenched tightly into fists. He knew full well that this Immortal Herb was simply a heaven-sent treasure for the Body Sect.

Thinking back to the earlier auction for the Aromatic Silk Beauty, he had not joined the bidding only because that Immortal Herb was not particularly useful to the Body Sect. At most, it could raise one's Soul Power Level somewhat.

But this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was completely different. It could greatly strengthen one's physical body.

For the Body Sect, which focused primarily on cultivating the body, this was practically an Immortal Herb tailor-made for them, the key to increasing the sect's strength.

"16 million Gold Soul Coins!"

Du Busi raised his Auction Paddle without hesitation, his voice firm and powerful.

Dai Hao's expression changed slightly when he saw the Body Sect make its move.

His sword-like brows furrowed tightly, and a deep look flashed through his eyes.

He had long expected this competition to be exceptionally fierce, but he had still underestimated the tremendous allure this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum held for most factions.

Especially the Body Sect. Their desire for this Immortal Herb had practically reached the point of madness.

A thought surfaced in Dai Hao's mind: It seems that if I want to secure this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, I'll have to bleed heavily.

"17 million Gold Soul Coins!"

Dai Hao gritted his teeth and raised his Auction Paddle again.

In a corner of the Shrek Academy faction's seating area, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu sat quietly.

Zhu Lu gently looped her arm around Dai Huabin's, her eyes shining with curiosity and excitement.

"Huabin, your father has made his move. It looks like your Dai Family has a good chance of winning the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

Zhu Lu leaned closer to Dai Huabin and spoke softly, a trace of envy in her voice.

"Hmph! Even if they win that Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, it won't be for me to consume."

Dai Huabin curled his lip and glanced at Dai Yueheng, who was seated beside Dai Hao, before snorting coldly.

His heart was filled with helplessness and jealousy. He knew very well just how enormous the gap between himself and his older brother, Dai Yueheng, was.

There was simply no way he could close that gap in a short time.

At present, Dai Yueheng was the most gifted member of the Dai Family. He had already become a genuine Soul Emperor, while Dai Huabin was still struggling at the Soul Elder realm.

Although his heart was full of jealousy, Dai Huabin quickly calmed down.

He thought to himself that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum would ultimately be consumed by someone in their family anyway. Besides, given his current strength and talent, his father definitely would not give it to him.

At that thought, he sighed softly, a helpless bitter smile appearing on his face.

"Don't worry, Huabin. I believe in you."

Zhu Lu seemed to sense the change in Dai Huabin's mood. She gently leaned against his shoulder and comforted him softly.

"Even without relying on the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, you will definitely become one of the continent's top Soul Masters in the future. You have your own unique talent and potential. As long as you cultivate diligently, one day you'll shine brilliantly."

Zhu Lu's comfort was like a warm spring breeze gently brushing across Dai Huabin's heart.

Warmth welled up within him, and his previously despondent mood gradually settled.

He looked at Zhu Lu gratefully, nodded slightly, then sat quietly in his seat and watched the auction continue.

In truth, deep down, he still hoped that his father would successfully obtain the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

For the Dai Family, this was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity to greatly strengthen themselves.

Time quietly passed amid the tense and fierce competition. More than ten minutes went by in the blink of an eye.

As time passed, the price continued to soar, as though an invisible hand were constantly pushing it higher.

"90 million Gold Soul Coins!"

Dai Hao abruptly rose to his feet and shouted out this outrageous price through gritted teeth.

This price was a full 10 million Gold Soul Coins higher than the final price of the previous Aromatic Silk Beauty, instantly plunging the entire auction hall into dead silence.

Everyone was stunned by this astonishing price.

After calling out the price, Dai Hao swiftly turned his gaze toward the Body Sect's direction not far away.

When he saw that Du Busi did not raise his Auction Paddle again, his entire body relaxed at once, and he let out a long breath of relief.

After all, this price had already emptied most of the Dai Family's savings.

Moreover, he had not brought enough items on this trip to use as collateral for so many Gold Soul Coins.

Fortunately, the Star Luo Empire Royalty had provided part of the funds in the end. Otherwise, they truly might have missed out on this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum today.

At this moment, upon hearing that his father had successfully won the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Dai Yueheng finally relaxed completely.

Throughout the bidding, he had been on edge, terrified that the Body Sect would obtain the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Now, the huge stone hanging over his heart had finally fallen. A gratified smile appeared on his face.

"90 million Gold Soul Coins, once."

Jiang Li's voice was exceptionally clear in the silent auction hall.

"90 million Gold Soul Coins, twice."

Jiang Li's voice rang out again. His gaze swept across the entire hall as he waited to see whether anyone would continue bidding.

"90 million Gold Soul Coins, three times."

"Since no one is continuing to bid, I hereby announce that the third auction item, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, has been won by Number 18 on the third floor."

Jiang Li's voice broke the silence, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The Auction Hammer in his hand came down heavily with a crisp sound, as though declaring the end of this intense competition.

Although the third auction item had already gone to someone else, the crowd's enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest.

Their hearts were full of anticipation as they speculated about what kind of peerless treasure the fourth auction item would be.

Would it be even more precious and miraculous than the previous two Immortal Herbs?

"What a bore. I thought the Starry Sky Auction House would bring out something earth-shattering, but it's just a few things with little benefit to Soul Beasts."

Di Tian, seated on the Fourth Floor, revealed a disdainful sneer.

He lounged lazily against his chair, his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes revealing a trace of boredom and weariness.

As he watched the items brought out in the first three auctions, his heart was filled with disappointment.

Although there had been two Immortal Herbs in the middle that did offer some benefits in his view, they were useful to Human Soul Masters and practically useless to Soul Beasts like them.

That was why Di Tian had remained merely an observer, unable to muster the slightest interest in this auction.

Bi Ji beside him felt equally bored.

She sighed softly, hoping that the auction would end soon so she could find an opportunity to meet the Limit Douluo Expert at the Starry Sky Auction House, the only one who possessed the Ultimate Life Attribute.

"Alright, next is the auction for the fourth item."

Jiang Li's voice rang out once more. A mysterious light gleamed in his eyes, and an enigmatic smile appeared on his face.

"I believe the value of this auction item will absolutely make your eyes light up. In some respects, it is no less valuable than the two Immortal Herbs auctioned today."

His words were like a stone cast into a tranquil lake, stirring up waves in everyone's hearts once more.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed tightly on the stage as they awaited the appearance of the mysterious auction item.

Jiang Li's gaze slowly settled on Di Tian and Bi Ji.

From beginning to end, he had noticed Di Tian's lack of interest in the auction.

But he knew very well that once the fourth auction item appeared, he refused to believe Di Tian and Bi Ji could remain unmoved.

Because the value and uniqueness of this auction item were enough to move anyone.

Even a Soul Beast King as powerful as Di Tian would find its temptation hard to resist.
