Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes settled on the six glass cabinets on the stage. Looking at the six cabinets covered with red silk cloths, she was eager to know what the other five auction items were besides the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline.
Lin Yuan knew what Zhu Zhuqing wanted to know.
The five items were a drop of the Dark Dragon King's blood essence, the Sunflower Manual internal cultivation method, a full hundred thousand tons of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb, and a female Titled Douluo surnamed Ye from ten thousand years in the future.
As for who would ultimately take the five items home, Lin Yuan had no way of knowing.
The auction for the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, continued.
"Three million Gold Soul Coins!"
The one who called out three million Gold Soul Coins was Ning Fengzhi.
The previous bid had been two million Gold Soul Coins.
Ning Fengzhi raised it by a million Gold Soul Coins in a single bid.
Ning Fengzhi was determined to obtain the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings.
As long as he won the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, the powerful Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, would join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When that happened, his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have three Douluos under one roof!
Three Douluos under one roof would be unprecedented for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Just imagining the scene filled Ning Fengzhi with uncontrollable excitement and delight.
After placing his bid, Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze to Bibi Dong and Yu Yuanzhen. Looking at them, he lowered his posture and said respectfully, "Your Holiness, Clan Leader Yu, sorry for the trouble, but please do not compete with me for the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings. I, Ning Fengzhi, must have it. In return, rest assured that I will not bid on any of the remaining items! If you need them, I can even provide you both with Gold Soul Coins."
Bibi Dong frowned at Ning Fengzhi's words.
Two choices lay before Bibi Dong: compete or withdraw.
Still frowning, Bibi Dong considered the matter while silently transmitting her voice to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan beside her. "Yue Guan, what do you think? Should I keep competing with Ning Fengzhi?"
Upon receiving Bibi Dong's question, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan did not answer immediately. He first gave the pros and cons a little thought, then carefully transmitted his reply. "Your Holiness, I personally think there is no need for you to continue competing with Ning Fengzhi."
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan did not fall silent after answering Bibi Dong. He continued his voice transmission, explaining why.
"Your Holiness, think about it. There are six more items to come. Though we don't know what they are, they definitely won't be any worse than this one. After all, the good things are usually saved for last."
"If you fight Ning Fengzhi to the bitter end now, even if you win in the end, the later items will probably be beyond your reach. You might as well give up this item and compete for two of the six remaining ones. That is this subordinate's opinion, but the final decision is yours, Your Holiness."
When Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan finished his voice transmission, Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's words made a great deal of sense.
Bibi Dong took them to heart.
After nodding, Bibi Dong looked at Ning Fengzhi with her beautiful eyes and said, "Very well, I'll leave the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, to you, Sect Master Ning. I hope you won't go back on your word."
"Of course! Of course!" A smile of barely concealed delight appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.
After exchanging courtesies with Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi fixed his gaze on Yu Yuanzhen.
Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen was still considering it, Ning Fengzhi, eager to secure the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, hurriedly continued to persuade him. "Clan Leader Yu, the Upper Three Sects are branches of the same tree! Let us not damage the harmony between my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan over a Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone! Yield to me this once, and I will be grateful to the depths of my being and never forget it as long as I live!"
Yu Yuanzhen wanted the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, very much, but Ning Fengzhi had already said so much, and Yu Yuanzhen's wealth simply could not compare with his. Thus, unwilling as he was, Yu Yuanzhen could only answer, "Sect Master Ning, I will yield to you this once, but there won't be a next time!"
"Many thanks, Clan Leader Yu!!!" Ning Fengzhi replied, thanking Yu Yuanzhen.
And so, the third auction item, the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, was won by Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After winning the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, Ning Fengzhi gave it directly to Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao without hesitation.
The moment he held the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao was thrilled and excited, happy and delighted.
He could finally become a rank ninety-six Titled Douluo!
"Sect Master Ning, thank you. I will honor my promise."
After speaking to Ning Fengzhi, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao looked at Lin Yuan.
The moment Tang Hao laid eyes on Lin Yuan, clear wariness and vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Just as Tang Hao was about to speak, Lin Yuan, knowing what Tang Hao wanted to do, said, "Want to use a quiet room on the second floor? Just go up yourself."
With that, Lin Yuan walked over to the next glass cabinet.
"Next is the fourth item in this auction."
As Lin Yuan's words fell, he lifted the red silk cloth covering the glass cabinet.
The moment the red silk cloth was lifted, Dai Mubai saw a book.
The book was square and grayish-brown, and there seemed to be four characters on its cover.
Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes and looked closely, finally making out the four characters.
Sunflower Manual!
No sooner had Dai Mubai made out the four characters on the book's cover than Lin Yuan began introducing the book called the Sunflower Manual.
"Clearly, the fourth item in this auction is a book. The first three items were all extraordinary, and this one is no different. This book is called the Sunflower Manual, and it is an internal cultivation method."
"Soul Masters can cultivate it."
"Soul Beasts can cultivate it."
"Even ordinary people can cultivate it!"
"When Soul Masters and Soul Beasts cultivate it, their cultivation will yield twice the results with half the effort."
"Leaving Soul Masters and Soul Beasts aside, even an ordinary person who cultivates it can, at most, become an expert on par with a Titled Douluo. However, note that only one person can cultivate the Sunflower Manual. Once that person successfully cultivates it, the Sunflower Manual will automatically destroy itself."
"All right, that concludes the introduction. The auction begins now, and the starting bid is once again one Gold Soul Coin!"
When Lin Yuan finished introducing the Sunflower Manual internal cultivation method onstage, Bibi Dong, sitting on a sofa below, was instantly delighted. Her eyes lit up, and she involuntarily leaned forward.
The Sunflower Manual internal cultivation method?
Bibi Dong wanted it!
Without hesitation, Bibi Dong immediately called out a bid. "One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
When Bibi Dong had bid on the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, earlier, it had not been for herself, but for her only student, Hu Liena.
This time, Bibi Dong was likewise not bidding on the Sunflower Manual internal cultivation method for herself.
It was for a man.
That man's name was Yu Xiaogang.
