"Honored guests, I believe you can all see just how precious our final auction item will be today.
"To be frank, this is the only time in my life that I have ever seen such an item. In my opinion, its worth is already almost impossible to measure in money."
Xu Jiujiu's voice underwent another subtle change. A note of solemnity entered her tone, and her expression grew serious.
Although she knew that nearly all the distinguished guests in Auction Hall One had come for this very item, she still needed to explain it properly and stir up the atmosphere. After all, she was a gold-medal auctioneer.
"I will withhold this item's name for now. First, allow me to introduce its uses to our honored guests.
"The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone sold earlier was already exceedingly rare. But today, I dare say that this final item is utterly one of a kind.
"Its value cannot even be measured in money. It is a single-use consumable, or perhaps a kind of medicine, and there is only one."
"Honored guests, please take a look."
As she spoke, Xu Jiujiu gestured with her right hand, and the soul tool screen immediately changed.
A white tray appeared on the screen. On it sat a wooden stand inlaid with at least a hundred gems of various colors.
Above this small wooden stand, a mass of air gently rippled. It was white, a soft white that gave no hint of its power.
On the screen, it appeared to be nothing more than a mass of air, yet it remained condensed without dispersing, faintly surging left and right, only to be blocked by the wooden stand.
The wooden stand radiated pale golden light, preventing it from breaking free. Yet this plain, unassuming thing contained terrifying energy.
