When Beast God Di Tian finished speaking, the little black dragon, formed from the power of yin water, nodded before him, indicating that everything it had just told him was true and that it had not been joking.
Beast God Di Tian's brows gradually furrowed, visibly forming a deep crease.
After a long silence, Beast God Di Tian used his Soul Power and spiritual power to transmit a message to the three great super Soul Beasts of the Great Ferocious Land.
"Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Myriad Demon King, guard the Great Ferocious Land well. I need to go out for a while."
The moment she received Beast God Di Tian's message, Bi Ji, whose true form was an Emerald Swan, was taken aback.
Beast God Di Tian was the most powerful Soul Beast in the Great Ferocious Land, and also the most powerful Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent. He had stayed in the Great Ferocious Land for many years, never once leaving it during that time. Now, he had suddenly said he was leaving. It went without saying that something major had happened.
Although Emerald Swan Bi Ji did not know what had happened, she was very curious.
Curious as she was, she instinctively parted her jade lips and replied respectfully.
"As you command, Lord Beast God."
Having answered him, Emerald Swan Bi Ji decided that when Beast God Di Tian returned, she would ask him what had happened.
For now, though, she would not disturb Beast God Di Tian while he went about his business.
Before long, a black dragon that blotted out the sky and sun left the Great Ferocious Land, heading for Suotuo City in the Heaven Dou Empire.
His destination was the Lin Auction House the little black dragon had spoken of.
The strongest Soul Beast, Beast God Di Tian, had just set out for the Lin Auction House.
Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, one of the strongest Soul Masters, was already on his way to the Lin Auction House.
It went without saying that the Lin Auction House in Suotuo City of the Heaven Dou Empire was about to become even livelier.
Two flowers bloomed, and each branch had its own tale to tell. At the Lin Auction House, the auction of the seventh item came to an end.
After fierce competition, the Snow Empress finally secured the hundred thousand tons of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow she had been longing for, at the hefty price of seven million Gold Soul Coins.
With a hundred thousand tons of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress could devote themselves to cultivation at home for the next ten thousand years, focusing on improving their cultivation without ever setting foot outside.
Looking at the only two glass cases left on the raised platform, Zhu Zhuqing wondered, The auction of the seventh item is over. The next item should be the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline, right?
No sooner had Zhu Zhuqing finished wondering than Lin Yuan stepped over to the second-to-last glass case.
As Lin Yuan approached, he swept away the red silk cloth covering the glass case.
The item inside was immediately revealed.
It was a tiny tiger.
The tiger was only the size of a fist.
Like an ordinary tiger, it had the character for "king" on its forehead, and its fur was as black as ink. Unlike an ordinary tiger, however, it had a pair of wings, and its tail stood straight up toward the sky, with a sharp point at the end known as the Evil God Hook! It was none other than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline that both Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai wanted!
Lin Yuan soon began introducing the tiger.
"Everyone, please look. This is our next auction item, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline!"
"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is unquestionably a top-tier Soul Beast. It commands six great powers: time, space, lightning, darkness, wind, and force."
"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was originally a White Tiger, but after an evil god invaded it, it transformed into the even more powerful and formidable Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
"Both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts can bid on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline, and either can absorb it after winning it."
"The benefits of absorbing it are straightforward: they include, but are not limited to, an increase in Soul Power Level or years of cultivation, as well as mastery over the powers of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
"However, it is worth mentioning that only tiger-type Soul Beasts, cat-type Soul Beasts, and those with tiger-type or cat-type Martial Souls are guaranteed to benefit from absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline."
"Other living beings may not benefit from absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline. They might even suffer harm-for example, they could be controlled by the evil god, lose consciousness, and become his puppets."
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline, like the internal cultivation method Sunflower Manual, was an auction item with a flaw.
Lin Yuan could have left the flaw in the Sunflower Manual unmentioned. After all, the book clearly stated the flaw, and whoever obtained the internal cultivation method could decide for themselves whether to cultivate it.
But Lin Yuan had to disclose the flaw in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline. Otherwise, he would plainly be harming people.
It would sound bad if word got out that he had harmed people, and it would damage the auction house's reputation.
After hearing Lin Yuan and learning that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline had a considerable flaw, Bibi Dong, who had originally wanted to bid on it to obtain the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's powers, immediately had second thoughts and backed out on the spot.
Powers such as lightning, fierce wind, time, space, force, and darkness were all well and good, but becoming an evil god's puppet was truly not. For that reason, she, Bibi Dong, was better off giving up on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline.
Losing something great for the sake of something small?
The loss outweighed the gain!
Unlike Bibi Dong, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were delighted after hearing Lin Yuan's words.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline had a flaw?
That was great!
Thank goodness Lin Yuan had said so!
Now that Lin Yuan had revealed it, the other guests might not want to bid on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline, which would work to the advantage of the two of them.
"Boss Lin, is the starting bid still one Gold Soul Coin?" Dai Mubai asked Lin Yuan. He was visibly thrilled and excited, eager to get his hands on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline.
Hearing Dai Mubai's question, Lin Yuan nodded to him and replied, "That's right, one Gold Soul Coin."
As soon as Lin Yuan answered, Dai Mubai bid, "Ten Gold Soul Coins!"
Lin Yuan: "..."
The moment Dai Mubai's voice fell, someone else called out a bid: "Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
The bidder was the Snow Empress.
In the Far North, the second-largest land Soul Beast habitat on the Douluo Continent, the Snow Empress had far more than one adopted son, Ice Bear King Xiaobai. She had many other adopted sons and daughters.
Quite a few of those adopted sons and daughters had tigers as their true forms, so the Snow Empress intended to bid on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline and take it back for those tiger cubs to absorb.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline was a good thing.
As a Soul Beast, the Snow Empress felt that if a good thing could be used by a Soul Beast, it was best not to give it to a Soul Master.
"Ten thousand and one Gold Soul Coins," Dai Mubai countered.
"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins," the Snow Empress raised the bid, her face expressionless.
"One hundred thousand and one Gold Soul Coins," Dai Mubai continued to counter.
Seeing that Dai Mubai was raising the bid one Gold Soul Coin at a time, the Snow Empress grew impatient. She did not want to waste time haggling with him, so she said directly, "One million Gold Soul Coins!"
To the Snow Empress, it would be best if she could secure the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline, but if she could not, then so be it. In any case, she had already obtained the hundred thousand tons of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow she had longed for.
"One million and one Gold Soul Coins," Dai Mubai countered without hesitation.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai.
She looked visibly bewildered.
One million and one Gold Soul Coins?
Even buying on credit would require more than three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Can you, Dai Mubai, come up with that many Gold Soul Coins?
