The Grand Finale! Qian Renxue's Fury! Ning Fengzhi's Ecstasy!

"Five hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins—"

The host was so rattled by this commotion that his speech stuttered.

"Going once..."

"Seven hundred thousand!"

Titan bid in a deep, resonant voice.

Another reason he had agreed to take a step back was that he realized the auction house likely hadn't interfered.

As a dignified Soul Douluo, Vice President of the Blacksmith's Association, and one of the three Great Divine Smiths, he didn't believe that in terms of financial power, he could lose to some brat who had popped out of nowhere.

However, he had miscalculated.

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"Nine hundred thousand!"

"One million!"

"One million one hundred thousand!"

Room C-2 seemed completely unaffected, continuing to raise the price.

Titan's expression grew increasingly grim.

He had money, but he had an entire clan to support; one million one hundred thousand was already the absolute limit of what he could produce.

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"One million two hundred thousand, going once!"

"Going twice!"

"Going three times!"

The host brought the gavel down; the deal was struck.

Titan etched the name of the brat who had ruined his plans deep into his heart!

The penultimate auction item, which had originally been the grand finale, was presented.

It was not an object, but a piece of intelligence!

Detailed information regarding soul beasts in a certain region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was purchased by a major family for the price of six hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Under normal circumstances, this would have been the highlight of the event.

But with the "Essence of Stars" having gone for one million two hundred thousand just before, it seemed far less dazzling.

Qian Renxue, however, was grinding her teeth in anger.

Such a vast region and such detailed intelligence could only have been mastered by Martial Soul Hall.

This must have been leaked by some parasite within.

Bibi Dong... what exactly is that woman doing?

Martial Soul Hall has become increasingly decadent and corrupt over these past few years.

Next time I return, I must have a long talk with her.

However, seeing the Essence of Stars brought in by the attendant, her anger dissipated slightly, replaced by full-hearted anticipation.

"Teacher, when will you be able to help me refine the divine artifact?"

"We'll talk about that once we return!"

Ling Xiao replied casually, his gaze fixed on the auction stage.

He wondered what kind of price the Soul Raising Pill would fetch.

If it was too low, he would have to find another way to fill the gap.

Qian Renxue was also somewhat worried.

Such a precious pill would surely fetch a sky-high price, but without any prior promotion, the prices these people might offer... were truly impossible to predict!

"Distinguished guests!"

"Coming up next is the true grand finale of this auction—"

"One Soul Raising Pill!"

"Upon consumption, it allows any soul master below the rank of Soul Douluo to directly advance by one level of soul power!"

The crowd, who had been preparing to leave, was instantly pulled back by this sentence.

"A pill? What is that?"

"It can actually help a soul master advance? Anyone below Soul Douluo can be raised by one level?"

"Wait... does level seventy-nine count as below Soul Douluo?"

If this weren't the Tiandou Auction House, whose reputation was absolutely guaranteed, everyone would have suspected the speaker was talking nonsense.

The hall was in an uproar.

Before the discussion died down, the host directly announced the start of the bidding.

"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

A clear, cold female voice came from a private room on the second floor.

Following closely behind, the previously silent private rooms erupted in a chorus of bids.

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

Titan, whose anger had been building to its peak and was on the verge of exploding, was also pulled back by the successive bids.

"Father, does such a medicine truly exist in this world?"

Tainuo was tempted, yet also somewhat doubtful, and could only ask his well-informed father.

"Given the Tiandou Auction House's reputation, it's highly likely to be real."

Titan pondered for a moment and immediately gave the order, "Never mind, let's bid for it first!"

Although he couldn't use it himself, and Tainuo's cultivation was only at level fifty-something, using it would be overkill!

But this was a divine medicine that could directly increase soul power by one level!

If used well, it could lead to an additional Soul Sage, or even a Soul Douluo.

They had to get it, even if it meant going bankrupt!

Upon receiving the order, Tainuo directly raised the price to eight hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

As long as they could win the bid, This pill would most likely be used on him, In that case, breaking through to Soul Sage wouldn't be impossible.

He even felt a bit fortunate that his father hadn't spent that money on "that broken rock."

However, what happened next exceeded everyone's expectations.

"One million Gold Soul Coins."

The auction house manager who had originally come to suppress Titan, that old man with a long beard, Actually participated in the bidding, and directly surpassed Titan.

"You old bastard! What does your auction house mean by this? Selling from your left hand to your right? Playing us for fools?"

Having been toyed with time and time again, Titan could no longer hold back.

He stood up with a "swish," his eyes wide with rage.

"Old ape, don't be so hot-tempered."

The old man pointed to his coarse linen clothes and said unhurriedly, "The auction house rules do indeed prohibit internal staff from bidding, but we are participating as individuals now, so it doesn't count as breaking the rules, right?

Of course, if you feel it's unfair, you can refuse to participate."

Just as Titan was about to get angry--

A gentle voice rang out.

"The highest bidder wins, fair competition. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"You are all distinguished figures, don't lose face in front of the younger generation."

A middle-aged man with a jade fan in his hand and a face as beautiful as jade slowly walked into the hall.

He wore an immaculate white robe, and his demeanor was gentle and elegant.

Behind him followed an old man in a black robe, his face like a withered bone, and his height nearly two and a half meters, like a walking skeleton, Wearing a smile that sent chills down one's spine.

"Greetings, Sect Master Ning, Lord Bone Douluo."

Upon seeing the newcomers, the two Soul Douluos of the auction house immediately bowed.

Titan looked down on everyone equally.

Even the two Soul Douluo from the auction house dared not put on airs before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, bowing just as respectfully.

"There is no need for such formalities, everyone. Please, continue the auction."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

The two auction house managers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

They had no idea which fellow had leaked the information, but with this big spender present, they figured they were out of luck.

Still, it was for the best; at least he had suppressed that old geezer Titan for them, otherwise, they would have had a headache.

Titan's mood was exceptionally foul.

First, he had been suppressed by those two old things, then Qian Renxue had snatched away the Essence of Stars he had been longing for, and now, just as he had set his sights on that Soul Raising Pill, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had come to stir up trouble again.

Moreover, this time, he dared not show even the slightest hint of anger.

Frustrating!

Unbearable!

With Ning Fengzhi's word, the auction continued.

However, every single bid

was topped by Ning Fengzhi with an even higher price.

Once it reached two million Gold Soul Coins, no one else dared to bid.

Just as everyone thought it was about to end—

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and directly revised his offer.

"Five million Gold Soul Coins!"
