In an instant, the entire auction hall's eyes were focused on her.
Gu Yue's eyes were involuntarily drawn towards it.
"What a beautiful woman." She admired secretly in her heart.
But at the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of vigilance in her heart.
He turned to look at Zhong Shenxiu, until he saw Zhong Shenxiu's still indifferent eyes, he turned his head with satisfaction.
And at this moment, the woman spoke.
"Good evening, dear guests."
Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a comfortable warmth, "I am the auctioneer tonight. My name is Su Mu. In the following time, I will host the auction for everyone."
She bowed slightly, her movements elegant and modest.
There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Su Mu straightened up, the smile on his lips still just right.
The applause died down.
Su Mu's gaze swept across the audience, and his autumn-like eyes glowed with a warm luster under the light.
"Tonight's auction has a total of seventeen lots."
Her voice was neither fast nor slow, with a convincing calmness, "The categories include Soul Tool, medicinal materials, Soul Beast materials, and some collections with special origins. Each piece has been professionally appraised by the auction house, so you can bid with confidence."
She turned slightly sideways and signaled to the staff in the audience.
"Then let's start directly."
The first lot was brought up.
It was a crystal-clear blue herb, about the size of a palm, which was carefully placed on a tray covered with velvet. The herb exuded a faint chill, and even from a distance of several meters, the guests in the front row could feel the refreshing coolness.
"Ice Heart Orchid, three hundred years old." Su Mu's voice sounded, "Produced from Far North, grown on tens of thousands of years of ice. This medicine has cold properties and can be used as medicine to refine ice-type elixirs, or it can be taken directly. It has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the meridians. For ice-type Soul Master, it is a rare nourishing thing."
She paused and reported the base price, "Starting price, 80,000 Federal Coin."
Eighty thousand.
The price is not too high, but it is definitely not low either.
For medicinal materials that are 300 years old, the price is quite satisfactory.
The audience was quiet for two seconds, and then someone raised a sign.
"Eighty thousand."
"Eighty-five thousand."
"Ninety thousand."
Prices slowly climbed.
Su Mu always maintains a well-placed smile, her eyes wandering among the crowd, capturing every moment of raising a placard. Her reaction is extremely fast, and as soon as each bid falls, she immediately reports the next bidder's number. The rhythm is just right, neither making people feel rushed nor making the scene cold.
In the end, this Ice Heart Orchid was sold for a price of 123,000 Federal Coin.
Gu Yue was lying on the sofa, watching this scene boredly.
She has no interest in these things.
Ice Heart Orchid? There are such things everywhere around Star Dou Great Forest and Lake of Life, and they are much taller than this one.
The second lot is a Soul Tool, level three defense type, with a starting price of 50,000.
The third piece is a piece of meteorite, which is said to be an extraterrestrial thing and can be used to forge weapons. The starting price is 100,000.
The fourth item is a Soul Beast egg, but it has lost its vitality after identification and can only be used as a collectible. The starting price is 30,000.
The voice of Su Mu sounded again and again and fell again and again.
Prices range from high to low, and competition ranges from fierce to dull.
But Gu Yue never moved.
She is just waiting.
Waiting for the fifth one.
Finally--
"Lot 5."
Su Mu's voice suddenly rose a little higher, with a hint of imperceptible solemnity.
Gu Yue's eyes opened instantly.
She sat up from the sofa and looked down at the auction table.
Two staff members worked together to carry a half-person-high metal box onto the stage. The box was entirely silver-gray, with dense Soul Guide Array patterns engraved on its surface, giving it a cold sheen under the light.
The box was carefully placed on a stand in the center of the auction table.
Su Mu walked to the box and gently stroked the lines on the lid with his hand.
"This lot is a level five Soul Tool."
Her voice echoed in the quiet hall, "Soul Guidance Energy Conversion Storage Device."
There was a slight commotion in the audience.
Level 5 Soul Tool.
Soul Tool of this level is already quite a rare treasure in a place like East Sea. Not everyone is qualified to own it, even those who are children of big families.
Su Mu continued, "The function of this Soul Tool is as the name suggests - it can convert Soul Power into other forms of energy for storage. It can also accumulate energy through autonomous operation, and when needed, convert the stored energy back into Soul Power for use by Soul Master."
She paused and looked across the room.
"Specifically, it can store the energy equivalent to the total amount of one Five-Ring Soul King and all Soul Power. During the conversion process, the energy loss rate does not exceed 15%."
There was another commotion in the audience.
The energy loss rate does not exceed 15%.
This number is already quite excellent for the fifth-level Soul Tool.
The high-quality energy conversion type Soul Tool has a loss rate generally between 20 and 30%. If it can reach 15%, it is definitely considered the best in the same level. "What's more important is--"
Su Mu's fingers gently tapped on a certain pattern on the surface of the box, "This Soul Tool has seven different energy conversion modes built in. Soul Power can be converted into heat energy, light energy, motion, etc." It can also be converted into a pure Soul Power impact. In other words, it is not only a tool to store energy, but at critical moments, it can be used as a powerful offensive Soul Tool."
She straightened up, and the smile on her lips became deeper.
"However, I need to remind everyone that the threshold for using this Soul Tool is not low. Only Soul Master with a Soul Power cultivation level of two or above can activate its basic functions. If you want to fully utilize its seven transformation modes, you need at least a Soul Power cultivation level of at least three rings and a certain understanding of Soul Guide Array."
Many people in the audience nodded slightly.
Level 5 Soul Tool, indeed not everyone can use it.
But this does not hinder its value.
For those children of big families, just because they can't use it now doesn't mean they won't be able to use it in the future.
It's the same thing if you buy it and put it away first, then use it when your cultivation level improves.
What's more, this Soul Tool itself is a very valuable collection.
Su Mu felt the heat gradually rising in the audience, and the smile on his lips became calmer.
She quoted her lowest price:
"The starting price is 140,000 Federal Coin."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised a sign.
"One hundred and forty thousand."
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
Prices climbed rapidly.
Gu Yue did not bid immediately.
She just leaned on the sofa and looked down calmly, as if she was enjoying a performance that had nothing to do with her.
Zhong Shenxiu also said nothing.
He just looked at the auction table quietly below, the lights on the auction table reflected in his light golden vertical pupils, and no emotion could be seen.
Prices continue to rise.
"One hundred and eighty thousand."
"One hundred and ninety thousand."
"Two hundred thousand."
When the price exceeded 200,000, the bidding speed slowed down significantly.
Two hundred thousand Federal Coin is already a pretty good price for a level five Soul Tool.
Those who can continue to increase prices either really need this item or are not short of money.
