"Guest number ninety-six has bid one million gold soul coins. Are there any higher offers?"

The host shouted excitedly.

The words had barely left his lips.

Every gaze in the room turned toward Qin Xuan in unison.

Wasn't this guest number ninety-six just a child of six or seven years old?

Even the descendants of the Upper Three Sects wouldn't necessarily be able to throw money around with such extravagance!

For a moment, everyone secretly speculated about the true identity of guest number ninety-six.

"This Wind Bird is indeed a rare treasure. While one million gold soul coins is already a sky-high price, it is absolutely worth more than its cost," Xia Hui remarked with emotion.

"Mm." Qin Xuan nodded slightly, his brow furrowed in gravity, as if he were still worried about something.

Seeing that about three minutes had passed and no one else had placed a bid, he finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself:

It's fortunate that there are no big spenders at this auction.

If Ning Fengzhi were present, with his level of insight, he would never have let me secure the Wind Bird so easily!

The male host grew anxious as no one raised the price, so he hurriedly added:

"The Wind Bird is a top-tier soul guidance device! Whether used for travel or saving one's life, it is exceptionally suitable!"

"Aside from guest number ninety-six, is there truly no one else who has taken a fancy to this item?"

Although the starting price for the 'Wind Bird' was only one million gold soul coins, according to the auction house's estimated reserve price, it should have been worth at least three million.

If it sold for only one million, while not a loss, it would barely cover the cost.

Hearing this, a pot-bellied middle-aged man wearing round glasses and a suit retorted:

"The Wind Bird is indeed a rare treasure, but what use is it to ordinary people like us?"

"Not to mention that this ship can only be driven by soul power, its unique flight capabilities require a Soul Saint to operate."

"Are you saying that if I want this ship to fly, I have to hire a Soul Saint myself?"

"Besides, one million gold soul coins is no small sum; it's enough for me to buy several more alluring slaves!"

As he spoke, he squeezed the shoulder of the beautiful woman beside him, looking smug.

"A lecherous noble, truly disgusting!" Song Qingling glanced at the middle-aged man, looking quite repulsed.

On the other side, the host was left speechless. He wished he could tear the fat man's mouth open, but he kept a smile on his face and said:

"Since all the guests feel this way, I will not say anything more."

"One million gold soul coins, going once!"

"One million gold soul coins, going twice!"

"One million gold soul coins, going three times!"

"Congratulations to guest number ninety-six for winning the final treasure of this auction, the 'Wind Bird!'"

"This auction has now concluded!"

Once he finished speaking, everyone stood up one after another and left the auction house.

Qin Xuan led the two women to the back of the auction house to complete the transaction.

He had spent a total of 1.8 million gold soul coins on this trip, but he felt it was worth far more than the price.

In particular, this 'Wind Bird' was a massive bargain!

Qin Xuan examined the Wind Bird for a long time before storing it in his storage ring. He then looked at the silver soft armor and said to Xia Hui, "Go ahead and put it away."

"Thank you, Brother Qin!" Upon hearing Qin Xuan's instruction, Xia Hui somewhat shyly stored the Spirit Snake Soft Armor into her soul guidance device.

In the eyes of others, spending 800,000 gold soul coins on this set of armor would definitely be seen as being taken for a fool.

But Qin Xuan had his own plans.

Because the 800,000 gold soul coins were not buying the soft armor, but rather the favor of the 'Purple Heaven Sect.'

Watching the two women walk ahead, Qin Xuan thought to himself as he walked: If my calculations are correct, the Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda should be able to evolve once more.

Furthermore, Song Qingling's talent is not low; she will likely break through to become a Title Douluo in the future, though her temperament is a bit arrogant.

If I can win these two over, they will undoubtedly become my capable subordinates!

After the group walked out of the auction house, Qin Xuan suddenly stopped and said calmly, "You two head back to the academy first; I have something else to handle."

Hearing this, Song Qingling and Xia Hui were quite sensible and did not press for details. After bidding farewell to Qin Xuan, they left in the opposite direction.

Seeing the two women walk away, Qin Xuan walked quickly toward the outskirts of Spirit City.

Behind a large tree not far away.

A man with a wretched appearance and short stature looked puzzled.

"How strange. Could he have discovered us?"

Hearing this, another man wearing a cowboy hat replied with disdain:

"The three of us are hidden so well, how could that brat possibly notice?"

"Besides, if he had discovered us, why would he head to the outskirts of Spirit City all by himself?"

"Bu Le makes sense," the tallest man chimed in.

"If that kid had spotted us, he would have already returned to the academy with those two girls."

"At most, he's just a one-ring Spirit Master, or perhaps a Spirit Scholar without even a spirit ring."

"With the strength of us three Great Spirit Masters, isn't dealing with him as easy as pie?"

As he finished speaking, a sinister look appeared on the faces of these three men.

They were none other than Bu Le, Tian Ya, and E Kao, the notorious trio of scoundrels on the Douluo Continent.

After observing him in secret for some time, they had realized that Qin Xuan was a big catch, and they absolutely could not let him go!

In a small alley on the outskirts of Spirit City.

"How nostalgic!" Qin Xuan looked around, filled with emotion.

The alley was less than five meters wide, and a hundred meters away stood a wall; it was clearly a dead end.

This was naturally the place where he had first met Qian Renxue.

Whoosh!

At this moment, two dark figures leaped down from the wall, blocking his path ahead.

Qin Xuan turned around to see another guy wearing a cowboy hat standing behind him.

"Hahaha..."

After seeing the appearances of these three, Qin Xuan burst into laughter, his smile filled with mockery.

He had expected an interesting battle, just enough to test the destructive power of the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger, but he never imagined it would be this wretched trio.

These three specialized in harming innocent people.

Countless decent women had suffered at their hands.

Even so, in the original story, Tang San had not cut the weeds and eliminated the roots, which truly puzzled Qin Xuan.

Now that he had run into them, he naturally wouldn't let them off.

"You're at death's door, and you can still laugh, brat?"

"Hand over everything valuable on you, or the three of us will make you wish you were dead!"

Bu Le summoned his Ghost Claw spirit and threatened him.

"Robbing me? Let's see if you have the ability!"

Qin Xuan's expression turned cold. Not bothering to waste any more words on these three small-fry, two thousand-year spirit rings began to rise from his feet in succession.

"Thousand-year spirit rings!" The wretched trio shrieked in shock, their faces filled with terror.

A moment later, the massive phantom of the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger emerged behind Qin Xuan!

As the three of them locked eyes with those tiger pupils glowing with blood-red light, they couldn't help but tremble all over, as if they had fallen into a ten-thousand-foot ice cavern!

E Kao snapped back to reality, immediately spread his wings, and turned to fly high into the sky: "My two brothers, I will avenge you in the future!"
