As pair after pair of eyes watched him, Lin Yuan pulled the red silk cloth off the sixth glass display case and turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi.
Looking at Ning Fengzhi, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Sect Master Ning, you absolutely, absolutely must not miss this auction item!"
Lin Yuan's words piqued Ning Fengzhi's interest. "Oh?" he said, then asked Lin Yuan in a curious, questioning tone, "May I venture to ask, Boss Lin, why you say Fengzhi must not miss this item?"
When Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he glanced at the item in the sixth glass display case.
The item in the sixth glass display case was a tulip.
Its petals were full, and its golden glow was soft and warm. One glance was enough to tell that it was certainly no ordinary specimen.
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Lin Yuan's lips curved even higher, and the smile on his face grew broader. He slowly and unhurriedly answered, "Why? Because this item is an Immortal Herb! And it's very, very well suited to you!"
After answering Ning Fengzhi, Lin Yuan did not fall silent. He continued, introducing the item in a resonant voice, every word ringing out with force.
"This item is called the Aromatic Silk Beauty."
"Like the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum auctioned seven days ago, the Aromatic Silk Beauty is a genuine, rare Immortal Herb."
"Taking the Immortal Herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum allows Qi to circulate through the limbs and blood to flow through the eight meridians, strengthening one's power and allowing one to cultivate the Vajra Indestructible Body."
"Taking the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty can likewise strengthen one's power, as well as fortify the body, nurture the foundation, and improve one's aptitude."
"As for why I said the Aromatic Silk Beauty is so well suited to you, Sect Master Ning, it's because your Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. If a Soul Master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul absorbs and refines the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, their Martial Soul can undergo superevolution!"
"Superevolution?!" Ning Fengzhi cried out in shock, questioning Lin Yuan to confirm it. He was deeply shaken, his eyes wide as saucers.
"That's right! Superevolution! It goes straight from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, skipping the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!" As Lin Yuan answered Ning Fengzhi this time, the smile on his face was already impossible to conceal or suppress, and joy blossomed in his heart.
Lin Yuan believed that once Ning Fengzhi learned what the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty could do, he would surely spare no effort in bidding for it. When that time came, Lin Yuan would definitely be able to seize the opportunity to make a fortune!
"This is bad!"
After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, immediately sensed trouble. He also realized that Ning Fengzhi was going to become his rival, bidding against him for the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty.
After confirming it with Lin Yuan, Ning Fengzhi's breathing and heartbeat quickened beyond his control.
Ning Fengzhi had thought that after missing the first item, the Martial Soul Evolution Pill, his Martial Soul would never be able to evolve. To his surprise, not only did he have another chance to evolve it, but it was a Martial Soul Superevolution that surpassed ordinary Martial Soul Evolution!
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
No joke, it was something Ning Fengzhi had never even dared to imagine.
Gulp~
Ning Fengzhi swallowed.
Unlike Dai Weisi, who had swallowed out of nervousness earlier, Ning Fengzhi swallowed now out of greed: greed for the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and for the sect to transform from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
Just as greed gripped Ning Fengzhi, someone made a bid: "Thirty million Gold Soul Coins!"
The person who called out thirty million Gold Soul Coins in one go was none other than Bibi Dong, the current pope of Spirit Hall.
As Bibi Dong spoke, her beautiful eyes were fixed intently on the item in the glass case. The fervor in her gaze was plain to see.
Bibi Dong's bid succeeded in drawing Ning Fengzhi's attention, and he instinctively looked toward her.
Bibi Dong noticed Ning Fengzhi's gaze. Meeting his eyes, she said, "Sect Master Ning, I have been stuck at the rank of a level 98 Titled Douluo for a long time, and I am eager to become a Level 99 Titled Douluo. So I will not let the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty slip away. I believe that with it, I will become the fourth Level 99 Titled Douluo on the continent today."
Had Bibi Dong really set her sights on the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty?
No.
Even the fervor in her eyes was an act.
After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Bibi Dong knew that Ning Fengzhi was absolutely determined to obtain the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty and would never let it slip away. This was a perfect opportunity for her to take Ning Fengzhi for a ride!
This time, Bibi Dong would not stop until she had made Ning Fengzhi bleed money!
Of course, Bibi Dong would not scheme against him openly. She would naturally put on whatever act was needed.
And so, the fervor in her gaze and the words from her jade lips were, without exception, all part of Bibi Dong's act.
After hearing Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, whose attention was entirely on the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, did not think much of it and immediately raised the bid. "Thirty-five million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Forty million Gold Soul Coins!" The third person to bid was Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen. He knew he could not compete with Spirit Hall's Spider Emperor Douluo Bibi Dong or Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But that did not matter. He had long since set his sights on the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, and he would not let the two of them obtain it easily.
The world bustled, all for profit.
The world jostled, all in pursuit of gain.
Anyone who stood in the way of profit was an enemy!
"Forty-five million Gold Soul Coins!" Soul Masters were not the only ones taking Ning Fengzhi for a ride; the Soul Beast Di Tian joined in too. He had lost quite a few Gold Soul Coins because of Ning Fengzhi when bidding for Wuzhiqi just now. Since he could make Ning Fengzhi lose Gold Soul Coins now, there was naturally no question that he would pass up the chance.
The first bid was thirty million Gold Soul Coins, and by the fourth bid it's forty-five million. The Lin Auction House really plays big! Why invite me to an auction this big? To watch the show? Invite me to a smaller auction sometime.
Watching the fierce bidding and thinking this to himself, Dai Weisi wanted to cry but had no tears.
The items were all excellent, and Dai Weisi wanted every one of them. Sadly, none belonged to him, and none had half a coin's worth of connection to him.
Pain!
He, Dai Weisi, was in far too much pain!
Dai Weisi did not yet know that, in the near future, the Lin Auction House would hold a smaller auction and invite the younger generation of the Soul Master World specifically. As luck would have it, he would be among them, and he would be able to bid on the items he wanted.
P.S. It wouldn't be good to keep having the powerhouses of Douluo Continent attend auctions, so Dapao plans to arrange a smaller auction later, giving somewhat weaker supporting characters like Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Yan, Hu Liena, and Ning Rongrong a chance to appear and show what they can do.
Will the next item be a God-Level Martial Soul or a divine artifact?
Beside Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun pondered the question.
