"Everyone here is a Soul Master, so I'm sure I don't need to explain the wonders of a living creature storage soul tool. Now, honored guests, you may begin bidding!"
The moment the male host finished speaking, a steady, domineering voice rang out first across the hall.
"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
The bidder was Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall Temple, seated in the red seats on the left.

With immense authority, abundant wealth, and formidable strength, he had no regard for most of the nobles and powerful figures present. The moment he opened his mouth, he bid the starting price as though he intended to end the matter immediately.

Moreover, a living creature storage soul tool could also store beautiful women. It was practically made for the decadent lives of nobles!
"Three hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
Almost the instant Salas finished bidding, Prince Xue Xing's voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the red seats on the right, carrying the forcefulness and unwillingness unique to imperial nobles.
