Gold of Life

Jiang Li had indeed drawn a Twin Spirit Contract during the lottery before, but perhaps because the name had not sounded particularly important, he had glossed over it.

It was only after sorting through the lottery items yesterday that he discovered the Twin Spirit Contract's heaven-defying function.

To a certain extent, the Twin Spirit Contract was far more valuable than the upcoming finale auction item: that Ninth-Level Soul Tool.

Martial Soul Fusion Skills were abilities coveted by nearly all Soul Masters on Douluo Continent.

Martial Soul Fusion could merge the Soul Power and Martial Souls of both parties. The stronger the two parties were, the more formidable the power unleashed.

If two Limit Douluo performed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, its power could even threaten a true God-tier expert.

Jiang Li had actually drawn two Twin Spirit Contracts in this lottery.

He took one out for auction, while he planned to let Ling Yun and Lei Yao try the other after the auction ended.

Although Ling Yun's Martial Soul was support-type and Lei Yao's was a Power Attack System Martial Soul, with the heaven-defying "bug" that was the Twin Spirit Contract, their eventual Martial Soul Fusion would reach one hundred percent.

Jiang Li was also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of power Lei Yao and Ling Yun's Martial Soul Fusion would ultimately unleash, and who would ultimately take the lead in the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Sixty million!"

Once the auction officially began, Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire raised his paddle without hesitation. His gaze was resolute, and he clearly understood how important the Twin Spirit Contract was to the Star Luo Empire.

If the Star Luo Empire could obtain it, they might be able to cultivate even more powerful Soul Masters and consolidate the empire's position.

"Seventy million!"

Du Busi of the Body Sect followed closely behind, a feverish expression appearing on his face.

The Body Sect also greatly coveted Martial Soul Fusion Skills. It was not easy to achieve Martial Soul Fusion using Body Martial Souls.

Moreover, Body Martial Souls were already immensely powerful. If two Body Martial Souls could undergo Martial Soul Fusion, the power they unleashed would be simply unimaginable.

Thus, Du Busi secretly made up his mind to secure this Twin Spirit Contract.

"Eighty million!"

Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall raised the price coldly, his voice devoid of emotion.

He had originally intended to save his Gold Soul Coins to bid on the final Ninth-Level Soul Tool.

But he had never expected the Starry Sky Auction House to produce such a heaven-defying item as a Twin Spirit Contract, so he could not afford to give it up.

He understood the power of Martial Soul Fusion Skills very well, such as the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Red Dust Romance" performed by his grandson and granddaughter.

The power it ultimately unleashed had left him utterly amazed.

"One hundred million Gold Soul Coins!"

Zhongli Wu of the Holy Spirit Cult gave a sinister smile and directly raised the price to an astronomical figure. His smile sent chills down everyone's spines, as though he were declaring to the other factions that the Holy Spirit Cult would not easily give up the Twin Spirit Contract.

However, this was only the beginning. The competition among the major factions grew increasingly fierce, and the price continued to climb as if it had no upper limit.

Di Tian's Forceful Intervention: "Two hundred million."

A deep, imposing voice came from the fourth floor, instantly silencing the entire venue!

Everyone looked up, only to see Di Tian standing with his hands behind his back, his golden eyes surveying the hall as though a monarch had descended.

A powerful aura radiated from him, making no one dare meet his gaze.

"W-who is that? He actually dared to double the bid outright?"

"I've never seen him before. Could he be some reclusive powerhouse?"

"Two hundred million Gold Soul Coins? That has already far exceeded the price of the previous Immortal Herb!"

The major factions were all shocked. They had not expected such a powerful being to suddenly intervene, much less make such an astonishing bid from the start.

But before long, the competition erupted once more.

"Two hundred and ten million!"

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School gritted their teeth and followed suit. They did not want to easily give up this opportunity to strengthen their school, and Ning Qitian wore a determined expression.

"Two hundred and fifty million!"

Du Busi of the Body Sect roared angrily, his hands clenched tight and veins bulging. He had to obtain this Twin Spirit Contract.

Yet Di Tian merely gave a cold laugh, and his voice rang out again. "Three hundred million."

The entire venue sucked in a breath!

This had already exceeded the financial limits of most factions. Representatives from many factions looked at one another, helpless expressions on their faces.

"Di Tian, it seems we didn't bring that many Gold Soul Coins."

At that moment, Bi Ji reminded Di Tian.

Before coming here, they had learned that the Starry Sky Auction House used Gold Soul Coins as its currency. Previously, some Human Soul Masters had entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, only to be defeated and perish within the forest.

During this period, they had sent quite a few Soul Beasts everywhere to search for Gold Soul Coins, yet they had found only one hundred million Gold Soul Coins in total.

Di Tian looked toward the Equivalent Exchange Device not far away.

Although he had been somewhat disappointed by the first three auctions, he had been closely watching everyone's bids and knew that top-tier treasures could be exchanged for a corresponding amount of Gold Soul Coins.

Di Tian walked over to the Equivalent Exchange Device. With a flip of his palm, an emerald-green crystal appeared, and rich Life Force spread throughout the auction hall.

That life energy was extraordinarily powerful, making everyone feel as though they had been transported into a vibrant forest, their bodies and minds nourished by its vitality.

All the Soul Masters were drawn to the green crystal and unconsciously absorbed its Life Force.

A question arose in every person's heart: what kind of treasure was this?

Why did it erupt with such formidable Life Force?

"Could it be Gold of Life?"

As Jiang Li looked at the crystal radiating powerful Life Force, a trace of doubt surfaced in his heart.

He knew that the Star Dou Great Forest Core Region contained quite a bit of Gold of Life. Gold of Life was a solid formed entirely from immense Life Force.

Although the piece of Gold of Life in Di Tian's hand was only a small fragment, it still contained incomparably vast Life Force.

Jiang Li also wanted to see how many Gold Soul Coins this piece of Gold of Life would ultimately exchange for once placed into the Equivalent Exchange Device.

When Di Tian placed the Gold of Life into the Equivalent Exchange Device, a screen appeared the next moment, displaying one billion Gold Soul Coins.

After witnessing the value of Gold Soul Coins assigned to that piece of Gold of Life, everyone wore shocked expressions, their faces filled with disbelief.

Such a small crystal was actually worth one billion Gold Soul Coins. It was utterly outrageous.

The entire venue erupted!

"What?! Such a tiny thing is worth one billion?"

"What kind of treasure is that?!"

Everyone began discussing it, filled with curiosity about the origins of the Gold of Life.

Di Tian, meanwhile, gave a cold laugh and said, "Now, my bid is—four hundred million."

His voice was filled with confidence and dominance, as though he were declaring to the other factions that he was determined to obtain the Twin Spirit Contract.

Yet Jiang Li was not particularly surprised by this development.

In his view, the value of that piece of Gold of Life far exceeded one billion Gold Soul Coins.

Gold of Life was something one could only encounter by chance, never seek out!

It could be said that even the entire Star Dou Great Forest might not contain much Gold of Life.
