At this moment, the values of the soul master world on the Douluo Continent were struck by an unprecedented shock.
This power, which they regarded as a treasure and were willing to risk their lives for, was actually just a commodity laid out on a table in that higher-dimensional world, something that could be bought and sold at will as long as one had the money?
"This is not just a gap in power; it is the crushing superiority of a higher civilization..."
Meng Shenji slumped into his chair, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
However, in that other world, the auction at the Mittal Family Auction House had only just begun.
"Sixty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
"I bid eighty thousand! No one compete with me; my son's fire-attribute Dou Qi is stuck at a bottleneck, and with this magic core, he will surely break through to the Dou Shi realm!"
Watching that wealthy Dou Po patron throwing money around just to help his son break through to the minor Dou Shi realm, the nobles of Heaven Dou City turned green with envy.
Eighty thousand gold coins? That could buy an entire small village on the Douluo Continent!
And yet, it was spent just to buy a consumable for a child's breakthrough?
But it didn't end there!
As the magic core was auctioned off at a high price, the smile on the auctioneer's face grew even brighter. He waved his hand again, and another item was presented.
It was an exquisite small jade bottle. The moment the stopper was removed, a visible cyan medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the entire venue, even coalescing into the phantom of a small, wings-spread Azure Phoenix!
"A fourth-grade medicinal pill, the Azure Underworld Longevity Pill!"
The auctioneer took a deep breath of the fragrance and roared:
"The effects of this pill are mild, and even an ordinary person can consume it! It has only one function: to extend one's life by twenty years! It can also purge hidden ailments from the body and allow one's youth to remain forever!"
"The starting bid is two hundred thousand gold coins!"
If the previous magic core only made the soul masters jealous, the appearance of this pill drove every person in power on the entire Douluo Continent completely insane!
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"Extend life... extend life by twenty years?!"
Emperor Xue Ye, who had been lying on his sickbed at death's door, sat up as if experiencing a miraculous recovery the moment he heard those words. His withered fingers gripped the light screen in front of him so tightly that his nails snapped.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"I possess the world, I have searched for every famous doctor under the heavens, and even Titled Douluo are helpless, able only to rely on medicine to hang onto life..."
"In that world, a mere tiny pill can extend life by twenty years? And purge hidden ailments?"
"Buy it back for me! Quickly, buy it back for me!"
Emperor Xue Ye roared hysterically, his eyes filled with a longing that was completely out of character for his usual image.
"Why can I not go to that world? Why can the people of that world squander their lifespan so recklessly!"
"I hate this!"
Spirit Hall, Consecration Hall.
Qian Daoliu looked at the pill, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.
Even for a Peerless Douluo, life had an end. Who didn't want to live longer? Who didn't want their youth to remain forever?
"A fourth-grade pill..."
"Judging by the auctioneer's tone, this doesn't seem to be some top-tier divine pill, merely mid-to-high-grade merchandise."
"What kind of heaven-defying methods do the alchemists of that world possess?"
Qian Daoliu let out a long sigh, feeling that the Angel Holy Sword in his hand had suddenly become dull and uninteresting.
In the end, within the auction house, this pill was sold for the sky-high price of five hundred thousand gold coins to an elder of the Nalan Family, just to celebrate the birthday of the family's patriarch.
Five hundred thousand gold coins, just for a birthday celebration!
This financial power, this foundation, once again slapped everyone on the Douluo Continent hard in the face.
Finally, after rounds of treasure bombardment that made hearts stop, the atmosphere of the auction was gradually pushed to its climax.
On the auction stage, the lights suddenly dimmed.
Following that, several suggestive red spotlights shone onto the center of the stage.
"Everyone! Treasures are fine, but on the long path of cultivation, would it not be lonely without a beautiful companion?"
The auctioneer revealed a smile that every man understood, then waved his hand and said:
"Next, is tonight's main event: Peerless Cauldrons and Exotic Female Slaves!"
Clatter!
With the sound of dragging chains, the prisoner wagon that had been holding the Snake-Person Tribe was pushed onto the stage.
Several snake-women with fiery figures were forcibly dragged out and displayed before the crowd. Their snake tails, covered in multicolored scales, writhed restlessly, while their upper bodies were shielded only by a few seashells, leaving vast expanses of snow-white skin exposed to the air. Combined with the wildness emanating from their slit pupils, they instantly ignited the hormones of every male in the room!
"Hiss! It's actually a snake-woman from the Tagor Desert!"
"Look at that waist, those scales—tsk, tsk, tsk. I've heard that the women of the Snake-Person Tribe are soul-stirringly intoxicating!"
"Plus, they have an inherently cold constitution. If someone who practices fire-attribute Battle Qi dual-cultivates with them, it's a massive tonic!"
For a moment, as the beautiful Snake-Person Tribe women appeared, the jeers and whistles from the audience rose one after another.
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.
At Shrek Academy.
Compared to the sorrow felt by Ning Fengzhi and the others, the atmosphere here seemed completely out of place.
"Holy crap, Boss, look! That snake-woman's figure is absolutely insane!"
Ma Hongjun stared fixedly at the light screen, drool nearly dripping to the floor. His small eyes were filled with lecherous light as he said:
"This is the real top-tier stuff, ten thousand times better than that village girl Cuihua!"
"Look at the way she's writhing; if only..."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai, standing to the side, also gulped, his body brimming with desire.
He was a playboy who had been with countless twins, but he had truly never tried this kind of half-human, half-beast exotic flair!
"Indeed, she has a certain flavor."
Dai Mubai licked his lips, a flicker of lustful fire flashing in his eyes:
"Only this kind of wild beauty offers the thrill of conquest."
"If I could bid on two of them, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life."
Watching these two acting like they had lost their minds to lust, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing felt a wave of nausea and instinctively moved further away from them.
However, the real main event was yet to come.
"The snake-women are fine, but they are, after all, products of our own Battle Qi Continent."
After the snake-women were auctioned off, the auctioneer shifted his tone and whipped the red cloth off the final crystal cage:
"This one, however, is a young lady of high status from another world!"
Under the spotlight, Ning Rongrong trembled like a frightened little rabbit, her hands clutching herself tightly.
Seeing the gazes of those below who looked as if they wanted to swallow her whole, and hearing the talk of using her as a cultivation vessel, she was already on the verge of a breakdown.
"No, I am from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I am not for sale..."
Her weak, tearful cries only further incited the sadistic desires of this group of outlaws.
"Another world? Haha, this is a first!"
"Although she has no Battle Qi, look at that delicate skin and that pure soul aura. I happen to be lacking a vessel to practice the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Technique!"
