The item placed on the auction stage did not attract much attention from the audience below, because it seemed rather familiar to these people from great families and powerful factions.
It was a black-looking crystal, dull and lusterless, with an uneven surface.
"This is thousand-year whale rubber. Whale rubber is a special substance produced in the brains of whale-type soul beasts. It has excellent nourishing effects on soul masters, strengthening their bodies and improving the endurance of their muscles, bones, and meridians."
"Whale rubber is a very precious ingredient, but it must be softened with intense flames before it can be eaten. Once consumed, it improves a soul master's constitution. For example, if you can currently withstand absorbing the soul ring of a two-thousand-year soul beast, eating a piece of thousand-year whale rubber this large would increase your body's tolerance by at least five hundred years."
"Our Treasure Gathering Pavilion purchased this piece of whale rubber. According to the seller, it came from a thousand-year demon whale. Generally speaking, however, the whale rubber of a thousand-year demon whale should be golden yellow and extremely expensive. A piece this large would be enough to utterly transform a soul master's body. Unfortunately, this piece is black. Our pavilion's appraisers judged that it had weathered over time and deteriorated somewhat. Although it can still be used, its quality has declined."
"Thousand-year whale rubber, starting at six thousand Gold Soul Coins. Please place your bids!"
At the sight of this item, many people stood and left the auction hall.
Just as there was always one interminable, dreadful act in a show specifically meant to give you a chance to use the bathroom, this auction lot served the same purpose, offering the distinguished guests a break amid the constant bidding.
"Six thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
