"So, it's a soul bone from a Gold-Eating Beast... I hadn't seen one in many years, but it truly matched Xiao Hongchen's attributes exceptionally well."
Ma Yun stroked his beard and smiled.
"Wait, Old Xu, are you sure you want to give me this soul bone that's over fifty thousand years old?"
Catching the soul bone Xu Tianming tossed over in a flurry, Xiao Hongchen could not help swallowing.
The others also looked at the soul bone in Xiao Hongchen's hands with envy.
Neither the Spirit Masters nor the Soul Beasts of the Sun Moon Empire could compare to those of the Three Douluo Kingdoms, and high-grade soul bones were even scarcer.
Even though the Hongchen Family ranked among the Sun Moon Empire's top three families, a fifty-thousand-year soul bone was still an incomparably precious treasure to them.
"Your Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul would be considered a top-tier Martial Soul even in the Three Douluo Kingdoms."
Xu Tianming smiled as he spoke:
"The Gold-Eating Beast is also a metal-element Soul Beast. It complements your Martial Soul perfectly, and only you can bring out this soul bone's greatest power."
"Th-this isn't right, Old Xu."
Xiao Hongchen's grin was nearly impossible to suppress, yet he still put on a show of refusing.
Xu Tianming gave Xiao Hongchen a half-smiling glance, then suddenly nodded.
"That's true, it isn't quite right... How about you give the soul bone back to me?"
Xiao Hongchen's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly put away the soul bone in his hand.
"What's with you? How can you take back something you already promised to give away?"
"Hahahahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter at Xiao Hongchen's reaction, and the auction room was soon filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
But while they laughed, the envy in their eyes could not escape
