"Fifty million Gold Soul Coins!"
After Spider Emperor Douluo Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, and Beast God Di Tian, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi also spoke up, placing a bid on the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty.
Although Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi was now a Titled Douluo whose Soul Power Level had reached Level 99, and the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty was of almost no use to her, that did not stop her from bidding on it.
After securing the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, she could simply give it to one of her subordinates.
If Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan learned why Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi had bid on the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, he would definitely consider going over to her side.
It couldn't be helped. Bibi Dong's way of doing things was just too baffling.
Bibi Dong could clearly have bought the Immortal Herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and even if she hadn't given it to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan afterward, he would have accepted it.
But what had Bibi Dong done?
She had handed it over to Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen for nothing!
Who was Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen?
A member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was part of the Soul Hunting Plan! It was an enemy of Spirit Hall!
She had handed such a rare treasure, such a great opportunity, over to an enemy. Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan truly had no idea what Bibi Dong was thinking. Her brain was worse than a pig's!
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen was Bibi Dong's own father.
After the bidding for the Immortal Herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had developed a grudge against Bibi Dong. Because of that grudge, he had not attended this Lin Auction House auction with her, and his good brother Ghost Douluo Gui Mei had stayed away as well. That was why Angel Douluo Ye Qingmei was the one accompanying Bibi Dong to the Lin Auction House this time.
Angel Douluo Ye Qingmei was the only subordinate Bibi Dong could still order around.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei?
From now on, they would obey her in public but defy her in private.
If Bibi Dong had not bought Angel Douluo Ye Qingmei seven days ago, she would now have had no one to call upon and no one to accompany her.
After Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi placed her bid, Bibi Dong spoke up again. "Fifty-one million Gold Soul Coins!"
Bibi Dong's aim with this bid was still to swindle Ning Fengzhi out of his Gold Soul Coins, but unlike before, she did not immediately name an astronomical price. She bid only one million Gold Soul Coins more than Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi. She would take it slowly, casting a long line to catch a big fish.
"Fifty-two million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Fifty-four million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Fifty-seven million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Eighty-eight million Gold Soul Coins!"
As time passed, the bidding for the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty reached eighty-eight million Gold Soul Coins, only two million short of ninety million.
The bidder was once again Bibi Dong.
After placing her bid, Bibi Dong turned her beautiful eyes toward Ning Fengzhi. Looking at him, she said, "Sect Master Ning, if you bid higher than me this time, then I'll have no choice but to part with the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, painful as it is, and let you have it."
As Bibi Dong spoke, there was clear sorrow and regret on her face, both of which she had deliberately shown Ning Fengzhi.
Bibi Dong understood that there was a limit to everything. Swindling Ning Fengzhi out of nearly ninety million Gold Soul Coins was enough for her, and for that reason, it was time to stop.
If she didn't stop now?
Ning Fengzhi would come to hate her for it.
Outside, Bibi Dong naturally had no fear of Ning Fengzhi holding a grudge. After all, she was a Nine-Ring Titled Douluo with Twin Martial Souls, two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and two domains, while Ning Fengzhi was merely a Seven-Ring Soul Sage. The difference between them could be described as the gulf between heaven and earth.
But here in the Lin Auction House, where fighting was forbidden, Bibi Dong was, truth be told, somewhat wary of Ning Fengzhi. She did not want him constantly driving up the price whenever she bid on an item she wanted.
So when it was time to stop, she had to stop!
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Ning Fengzhi smiled, though he had forced the smile onto his face. Still smiling, he said, "Then I must thank Your Holiness the Pope!"
On the surface, Ning Fengzhi was all smiles.
In his heart, Ning Fengzhi had already cursed all eighteen generations of Bibi Dong's ancestors.
After answering Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi looked at Lin Yuan on the raised platform and placed his bid. "Ninety million Gold Soul Coins!"
After bidding, Ning Fengzhi looked at Di Tian.
When the price of the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty had reached seventy million Gold Soul Coins, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen and Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi had withdrawn from the bidding one after the other.
Bibi Dong had just withdrawn as well, leaving Beast God Di Tian as Ning Fengzhi's only opponent.
Di Tian ignored Ning Fengzhi's gaze and spoke again, placing his bid without a change in expression.
"One hundred million Gold Soul Coins!!!"
After bidding, Di Tian looked at Ning Fengzhi, just as Bibi Dong had done, and said much the same thing. "If you bid higher than me, I'll let you have the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty."
"One hundred million and one Gold Soul Coins," Ning Fengzhi bid without hesitation.
Di Tian immediately said to Lin Yuan on the platform, "I withdraw."
With Di Tian's withdrawal, the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty ultimately fell into Ning Fengzhi's hands.
As soon as he obtained the Immortal Herb, Ning Fengzhi spoke to Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
"Qinghe, I'll leave the rest of the auction to you. To keep a long night from bringing more dreams, I'm going to absorb and use the Immortal Herb."
Qian Renxue, disguised as Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, answered Ning Fengzhi, "All right, Teacher. Leave it to me."
Having received the answer he wanted, Ning Fengzhi did not hesitate. He immediately set off for a quiet room on the second floor. He would absorb and refine the Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty right away, transforming his Martial Soul from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the more powerful and formidable Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Fengzhi decided that after his Martial Soul evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he would take more concubines and marry more wives, and have more children, aiming for seven, eight, nine, or ten a year. That way, he could pass down the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul and have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect renamed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as soon as possible.
Ning Fengzhi walked up to the second floor.
Lin Yuan walked over to the next glass display case.
Before lifting the red silk cloth covering the case, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The next auction item is a God-Level Martial Soul."
As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, pair after pair of eyes turned to the glass case and fixed on it.
"Zhu Yun, do you think that God-Level Martial Soul will be a Beast Martial Soul or a Tool Martial Soul?" Dai Weisi asked Zhu Zhuyun, staring at the glass case without blinking.
