At that moment, an old voice rang in his mind, and a figure materialized from the gray light, slowly stroking his goatee.
As if reminiscing about something, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I think Little Yu is right. Little Bug, you should listen to him more. Don't waste your youth on someone else. Back when I was young..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen! I believe Little Scorpion loves me, you old man, don't interfere."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm held a large cotton hat in her hand, then put it on her head, covering her ears and pretending not to hear.
Then, pouting, she lay down on the conjured blanket and went to sleep.
Cao Yu smiled and advised, " Elder Yi, that's just how this guy is, don't bother with him."
Elder Yi continued stroking his goatee, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Sigh... these young people nowadays!"
Then, as if remembering something, Elder Yi suddenly said, "By the way, Little Yu, keep that Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife for now. The Gold of Life it contains will be very useful to you. I'll try to fuse it with you in a few days."
Cao Yu nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
The auction is still ongoing. The starting price for this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is 10 million. Many bidders are eyeing it with greed and are throwing money at it.
The numbers on the screen began to jump around.
"Twenty million."
"Twenty-five million... thirty million!"
Everyone held their breath, even Wang Yan and the others tensed up, all worried for Cao Yu.
But the next second Cao Yu continued to bid, this time directly pushing the price down to fifty million, without even blinking.
Bei Bei exclaimed in shock, "I never imagined Little Yu was so rich. I bet he doesn't even care about these things!"
Dai Yueheng nodded and said, "I think so too. I guess this is just pocket money for Young Master Cao."
"Pocket money? Are you kidding me?" Gongyang Mo felt his worldview had been shattered, and even Ling Luochеn next to him looked at Cao Yu with new respect.
Everyone outside the arena stared at the screen in front of them, and they all gasped.
That was a huge, eye-catching number: fifty million! Who could be so wealthy?
The figure of fifty million had exceeded the psychological price of most people. A minute later, Cao Yu successfully bid for the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone and earned a fortune of more than 500 million.
"I have to admit, this method is still the fastest way to make money, but there are still too few top-tier auctions like this."
Auctions of this scale only happen a few times a year; otherwise, he could make a living solely from them.
Cao Yu sighed helplessly at this.
Now, after deducting the costs incurred, Cao Yu's funds have reached approximately 3.8 billion, which makes him increasingly happy.
I have to say, it's good to be rich!
"Next up is today's grand finale."
The screen on the Soul Guidance Screen turned golden again. The scene shifted, and Xu Jiujiu returned from backstage, her original clothes now replaced by a long golden dress.
The long dress accentuated her beautiful curves, and Cao Yu smiled slightly. He had to admit that Jiujiu really knew how to dress; she had completely captivated him.
"No! Make her wear this to bed tonight too." At this moment, Cao Yu finally made a difficult decision.
Xu Jiujiu continued, "I dare say that this last item in today's auction is absolutely unique; its value shouldn't even be measured in monetary terms."
"It's a one-time consumable, or rather, a kind of medicine, and there's only one. This is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo."
Soul Beast embryo! Upon hearing this news, all the bidders were deeply moved.
However, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had just fallen asleep, woke up again and sighed silently.
"Sigh! I wonder who else has suffered this misfortune. How tragic! But judging from this aura, it might also be from the Far North, so it shouldn't be the little scorpion."
Cao Yu couldn't help but chuckle. " Tian Meng, stop daydreaming. Your Bingbing is still dreaming of dating the Snow Empress; she doesn't have time to cultivate into a human."
Although this is not Bingbing, this embryo is actually the transformation of the Snow Empress!
I had to take a picture of it, no matter what.
After listening, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm thought it made some sense, so she went back to sleep.
On the other side, Xu Jiujiu also began to explain the origin of this embryo.
"This wisp of energy is the result of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast reaching its bottleneck and choosing to reincarnate as a human. During the transformation process, it was captured by a powerful being and imprisoned within the Level 9 Soul Tool, the God-Sealing Platform."
"In a sense, it can be considered an unformed embryo when Soul Beast tries to reincarnate as a human."
Through Xu Jiujiu's subsequent explanation, everyone understood the effects of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.
If it were successfully absorbed, wouldn't there be a chance to gain another Martial Soul? The atmosphere at the scene instantly reached its peak.
Everyone was determined to sell it! Their Gold Soul Coin were already sharpening their knives, ready to be used against the pigs and sheep.
The starting bid was 100 million Gold Soul Coin, and the price was driven up in the blink of an eye.
The numbers on the screen continued to jump around.
"One hundred and sixty million! Who could it be?"
At this moment, everyone in the VIP rooms looked extremely grim, their teeth clenched in anger.
"Damn it, who's going against us?"
At this moment, in VIP Room No. 2, were Xiao Hongchen and his group. He had a somewhat ferocious expression on his face, wishing he could punch anyone who opposed him to death.
"No! I want to raise the price again." Xiao Hongchen was still unwilling to give up, but the old man on the other side hurriedly pulled him back.
"Alright, Xiao Hongchen, it's time for us to stop."
" Elder Ma, I'm not reconciled!" At this moment, Xiao Hongchen were already red with anger. Elder Ma wanted to say something more, but Xiao Hongchen had already raised the price to 180 million.
Cao Yu chuckled. "Interesting, that's what makes it interesting."
With a tap, the number on the screen had increased to two hundred million, but the other party seemed to be desperate and kept raising the price.
Seeing this, Dai Yueheng said to everyone, "I told you, that fifty million was just pocket change for Young Master Cao, and probably this much money is the same."
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense. We believe it now."
Gongyang Mo and the others all nodded in unison, so much so that Wang Yan, standing beside them, was speechless with surprise.
While everyone was talking, the price of the item was instantly raised to 250 million.
Cao Yu was still happily raising the price, casually mentioning it again.
"Hmm... let's just keep it simple and mention 300 million."
As for Xiao Hongchen in VIP Room No. 2, the situation is not so optimistic.
Not only was he so angry that his face turned red, but even Elder Ma next to him couldn't stand it anymore.
"Enough! Xiao Hongchen, stop now, we don't have enough money left."
"Damn it, damn it! This is the first time I've ever felt so frustrated. Don't let me find out who's messing with me, or I'll smash their head in!"
