Just as the auctioneer Qing Xue had said, it was rare for a Level 6 Grandmaster to make a Level 3 Soul Tool. Its level might not have been high.
But it was extremely practical, well suited even to a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. Its low requirements for use had actually become its greatest advantage.
The moment the voice rang out, everyone was stunned. Wang Yan and the others, in particular, froze, because the person who had spoken was none other than Gu Qingnian.
What surprised Wang Yan even more was the bidding paddle that had appeared in Gu Qingnian's hand at some point. He could not help glancing down at his own hand. His paddle was still there!
Normally, every honored guest received a bidding paddle. However, Wang Yan and the others had come as a team, and Wang Yan, as their teacher, needed to assess things for his students, so they had only been given one.
