The Qingya auctioneer stood in the center of the auction platform, the hem of her purple dress swaying gently with her movements.
"Good evening, distinguished guests. I am Qingya, a purple-level auctioneer from Starlight Auction House, and I will be hosting this auction tonight."
She smiled slightly and bowed to the audience.
Her curves were subtly revealed beneath the purple dress, earning her a round of applause.
Returning to the auction proceedings, Qingya announced, "Today's auction is a special session for Soul Tool."
"All items up to auction are Soul Tool of level six or below, suitable for Soul Master and Soul Engineer with cultivation levels of Soul King or below. Furthermore, to ensure our distinguished guests have a worthwhile experience, we have a final mystery gift. The auction now begins!"
The first item was quickly brought up for auction.
It was a black, level-three Soul Paralysis Ray that could be attached to the right arm and used to inflict paralysis.
"The starting bid is one Gold Soul Coin." Qingya's words had barely finished when...
In the VIP room, Lin Ciyan spoke calmly, "Ten thousand."
The sound amplified through the Soul Amplifier, resounding throughout the entire venue.
The entire auction hall fell silent instantly.
Qingya was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with surprise. " The Gold Supreme VIP has bid 10,000 Gold Soul Coin!"
It increased tenfold!
This isn't just a premium, it's a total rip-off!
No one dared to place another bid.
"Sold!" Qingya slammed the gavel down with astonishing speed.
She looked towards the direction of the golden VIP room, her eyes full of curiosity.
Who is this important figure who is so generous?
Inside the VIP room, Xiao Xiao's eyes widened. "Master, isn't it a waste to give me this...?"
Lin Ciyan leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "It's just Level 3 Soul Tool. You lack more combat methods. Use this for now. When you break through to Soul Elder, your master will get you a better one."
"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Xiao's face flushed.
Beneath the green lace skirt, the girl's white-stockinged legs swayed gently, appearing quite happy.
Zhang Lexuan linked arms with Lin Ciyan and smiled gently, " Ci Yan."
Lin Ciyan turned his head to look at her and gently patted the back of her hand.
The auction continues.
The second item up for auction is a set of level four Soul Defense Armor, capable of withstanding attacks from Soul King level opponent.
Starting bid: 3,000 Gold Soul Coin.
"Fifty thousand," Lin Ciyan said again.
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Qingya's voice trembled with excitement. " The Gold Supreme VIP has offered fifty thousand!"
Another crushing defeat!
For the next few items, Lin Ciyan all at several times or even ten times the price, as long as they were useful to the Shrek team.
A Speed Enhancement Soul Tool for Jiang Nannan.
A Lightning Attribute Enhancement Gauntlet for my little brother, Bei Bei.
A component for He Caitou's Soul Tool Turret...
In just half an hour, Lin Ciyan had already purchased eight Soul Tool.
Inside the VIP room, everyone was numb.
Dai Yueheng was shocked by the way Lin Ciyan casually held up the sign.
Wang Yan was completely dumbfounded.
He had originally planned to use the academy's credit certificates to buy some Soul Tool for the reserve team, but now it seems... completely unnecessary!
The captain handled everything by himself!
And they're all top-of-the-line configurations!
"Next is our second-to-last item for today's auction," the Qingya voice announced again.
The auctioneer pushed in an item for auction; under the veil was a small, delicate object.
Qingya lifted the veil, revealing a silver necklace with a metal pendant shaped like a Milk Bottle.
"A level four Rechargeable Soul Tool, commonly known as Milk Bottle, capable of storing Soul Power for Soul Master to absorb. Starting bid: 6,000 Gold Soul Coin."
Milk Bottle, being such practical Soul Tool, have always been in high demand.
The bidding started quickly.
"Seven thousand!"
"Eight thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
Prices rose rapidly.
Lin Ciyan finally spoke again, "One hundred thousand."
The entire hall fell silent.
Qingya took a deep breath. " The Gold Supreme VIP has bid 100,000 Gold Soul Coin..."
This is already five times the market price of a level 4 Milk Bottle!
Nobody dared to follow.
"Make a deal."
The Milk Bottle arrived.
Lin Ciyan looked at Xiao Xiao: "Here, take this. You have Twin Martial Souls, which consumes a lot of Soul Power, so using the Milk Bottle is perfect."
Xiao Xiao was stunned. "Teacher, this is too precious..."
"Take this," Lin Ciyan said calmly. "You have a control-type, support-type Martial Soul, which requires sustained combat in team battles. This will allow you to unleash your skills more often."
Xiao Xiao's beautiful eyes flashed with emotion. "Thank you... teacher!"
She solemnly accepted the Milk Bottle necklace offered by the waiter.
He secretly vowed to perform well in the competition and live up to his captain's expectations.
Qingya walked to the front of the auction stage, her pretty face flushed with excitement.
"Distinguished guests, next up is our special surprise, and also the grand finale of tonight's auction!"
The cart came on stage again, this time with a bright red drape over it!
Qingya voice carried a hint of mystery. "This item shouldn't normally appear in a Level 4 auction, but to thank our distinguished guests for their support, we've added it. Although the price is high, I believe those who truly appreciate it will find it worthwhile."
She lifted the veil.
The cart had a display stand with a... egg on it?
It was a pure white egg, about the size of a fist, with a faint white halo flowing across its surface.
On the eggshell, you can vaguely see golden thread-like patterns.
"This is..." Lin Ciyan's eyes flashed with surprise.
Qingya explained, "This is the egg of a Light-attribute Soul Beast. According to the appraisals of several appraisers at our auction house, it comes from an extremely rare... Ancient Soul Beast!"
Ancient Soul Beast?
Inside the VIP room, everyone stared wide-eyed at the egg of some unknown Soul Beast.
Qingya continued, "This egg was discovered in an ancient ruin, sealed by a special crystal, and has been preserved intact to this day. According to the analysis, if it can be successfully hatched, it will be an extremely rare Soul Beast over a thousand years old!"
"More importantly..." she paused, her voice rising, "This egg contains extremely pure life attributes and light-elemental energy, as well as... a trace of rare Spiritual Origin!"
"If absorbed by a light-attribute Soul Master, it can not only greatly improve physical fitness and Soul Power, but also enhance mental strength! It may even cause a beneficial mutation in the Martial Soul!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Natural treasures that can enhance physical fitness and mental strength are already rare, let alone those with the attribute of light!
Qingya looked towards the direction of the golden VIP room and smiled, "Starting bid: 500,000 Gold Soul Coin! Each bid must be at least 10,000!"
When the price was announced, most of the bidders fell silent.
Five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin is beyond the reach of ordinary Soul Master.
However, a few people still made bids.
"Five hundred and one thousand!"
"Five hundred and thirty thousand!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
Prices are rising slowly.
Lin Ciyan looked at the ancient Soul Beast egg, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that losing the Gold of Life would result in receiving a low-end item that could enhance vitality and the attribute of light.
However... he sensed that this light attribute provided him with negligible boost, because his current Martial Soul attribute was already too extreme!
In other words, this egg... is more suitable for Wang Dong.
He suddenly spoke up, "One million."
The sound was calm, yet it was as loud as a thunderclap!
Double it!
Qingya stammered, " The Gold Supreme VIP has bid one million Gold Soul Coin!"
The entire hall fell silent.
This isn't an auction, this is a complete rout!
"One million and one..."
"Two million," Lin Ciyan said again.
Qingya almost fainted.
Inside the VIP room, everyone stared at Lin Ciyan in disbelief.
Two million Gold Soul Coin... to buy a Soul Beast egg?
Wang Dong's mouth gaped open, her pinkish-blue eyes filled with disbelief.
Master... you want to buy this for him?
"Two million once... two million twice... two million three times! Sold!" Qingya practically shouted.
The gavel falls!
The waiter quickly brought the Light Goddess Butterfly egg into the VIP room.
It was a crystal-clear egg, warm and smooth as jade in my hand, radiating a pure and luminous aura.
Lin Ciyan took the egg and turned to look at Wang Dong.
"Disciple, this is for you."
Wang Dong stared blankly at him, her eyes suddenly reddening. "Master... this is too precious..."
