Strength, power, wealth
Bai Yushan leaned back on the sofa, watching the frenzied crowd below, and raised an eyebrow.
He originally thought that the one million yuan prize money Yu Zhen had promised during the competition was already quite substantial.
So a 600-year-old Soul Bone started bidding at three million?
This is nothing.
Seven million!
The sign for Box 3, No. 3, on the second floor was lit up.
The price jumped by a million.
The entire audience paused for a moment.
Before anything even happened in the Class A VIP room, the bid for Class B had already reached seven million?
"Seven million five hundred thousand!"
Box C, number one, immediately followed suit.
"Eight million!"
Number B3 refused to back down.
The price rose steadily and soon broke through the eight million mark.
Bai Yushan leaned back on the sofa.
sure.
A single bone almost fetched tens of millions?
He turned and glanced at Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu leaned back on the sofa, swirling her wine glass, her face expressionless, seemingly unfazed.
Clearly, she was already used to this kind of scene.
Gu Yue only glanced at it before losing interest.
She is of the Silver Dragon King Bloodline.
As for whether being the ruler of Soul Beast would trigger any emotions associated with this scene, that's just wishful thinking.
The killing among Soul Beast also exists. Gu Yue hates is nothing more than the unrestrained and excessive slaughter of the Soul Beast Clan, which led to its annihilation.
Putting everything else aside, just consider Xiong Jun himself; he has collected countless Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone of his own kind. Those are all symbols of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that challenged his position for countless years being torn apart!
Nine million!
Another voice rang out, coming from VIP room number seven.
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
The owner of VIP box A has finally made his move!
The Class A VIP boxes are reserved for the wealthy and powerful, or at the very least, members of a prominent local family.
"Ten million!"
The sign for VIP room number five (甲字五) was displayed immediately afterward.
They added a million directly.
The entire audience gasped slightly.
Ten million!
Buy a 600-year-old Soul Bone!
This isn't just being extravagant, this is throwing money around like water!
But that's not all.
"Eleven million!"
Number 7 (甲字七) immediately followed.
"Twelve million!"
No. 5 of the Class A standard was not to be outdone.
The two private rooms, each labeled "A," were locked in a power struggle.
The price soared, quickly reaching fourteen million.
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
Is this the power of the Class A VIP boxes?
That's terrifying.
"Fifteen million!"
The voice of Number Seven (甲字七) rang out again, carrying a hint of determination.
The entire room fell silent for a second.
Fifteen million.
This price far exceeds the normal market price of a 600-year-old Soul Bone.
Even if they were wild, they wouldn't be this tall.
It's clear that the two private rooms are locked in a battle of wits.
After a few seconds of silence, Number Five remained silent.
Seeing that no one was raising the price, the host immediately spoke up.
"Fifteen million for the first time!"
"Fifteen million, for the second time!"
Sixteen million!
A calm voice came from Box 3, Class A.
The entire audience erupted in cheers!
Sixteen million!
Oh My God!
A 600-year-old Soul Bone fragment sold for 16 million?!
This is insane!
Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow.
He truly hadn't expected it.
It's just a bone, isn't it?
Is it really necessary?
But then he thought about it again and understood.
From this, one can imagine how extravagant the Spirit Pagoda!
In this era where Soul Beast are becoming increasingly rare and gradually disappearing.
Soul Bone, especially wild Soul Bone, are a non-renewable resource.
One piece is used up, and one piece is no longer enough.
Moreover, it concerns the advancement of bloodlines and future generations.
True wealthy families don't care about this amount of money at all.
We'll take it no matter the cost.
Think about the Spirit Pagoda again.
There are at least two or three of these internal auctions every month.
The total sales from this auction are likely to be several hundred million.
How much money will I make in a year?
As a power that monopolizes the production of Soul Spirit and the auction of Soul Bone, the Spirit Pagoda is so wealthy that the phrase "richer than a country" perfectly describes it, and may even surpass it.
After all, Soul Master cannot be separated from their Soul Spirit!
The Soul Spirit is the foundation of Soul Master; it is their second life.
Especially now that wild Soul Beast are becoming increasingly rare, the price of Soul Spirit is rising year after year.
Even a single Hundred-Year Soul Spirit costs millions of Federation Coins.
This is nothing.
There's much more good stuff to come.
Bai Yushan sighed inwardly.
Back in Eastsea City, I thought the one million that Yu Zhen gave me was a lot.
In retrospect, it was nothing compared to the great power.
The waters of the Spirit Pagoda are far deeper than he imagined.
He turned to look at Leng Yaozhu.
His master, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, probably has far more resources at his disposal than he imagined.
With this powerful backer, I won't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore.
Bai Yushan's lips curled slightly.
This apprenticeship is a huge win.
"Sixteen million for the first time!"
"Sixteen million, for the second time!"
"Sixteen million for the third time!"
Thump--
The auction gavel slammed down.
"Make a deal!"
The host's voice was tinged with laughter.
Congratulations to the VIP guest in Box 3, Room A!
The hostess, carrying a tray, gracefully withdrew.
The first item was successfully sold.
Sixteen million Federation Coins.
That's an astronomical sum that an ordinary Soul Master couldn't earn in a lifetime, all for a single hind leg bone.
The crowd below the stage continued to whisper among themselves, and the discussion did not subside for Jiujiu.
The host smiled and gestured for the host to stop.
"Alright everyone, please calm down."
The first thing is just a warm-up.
"The subsequent lots were increasingly impressive."
"I guarantee you won't find this trip worthwhile."
He wore a mysterious smile.
The audience was also stirred up.
If the first item is this explosive, what will the rest be like?
Many people were eager to try, their eyes burning with excitement.
Inside the private room, Bai Yushan picked up his wine glass and took a sip of the Soul Brew.
The warm liquor slid down my throat.
He looked down at the brightly lit auction hall and at the elegantly dressed Soul Master.
Suddenly, a realization dawned on me.
This is the taste of power.
The Spirit Pagoda holds the key to all Soul Master.
That's why they can stand at the very top.
Therefore, Leng Yaozhu, as a deputy tower master, is always respected and bowed to wherever she goes.
Strength, power, wealth.
They were originally tied together.
Bai Yushan's lips curled slightly.
interesting.
Shrek City is indeed much more interesting than Eastsea City.
Just as Bai Yushan finished thinking about it, the host on stage clapped his hands with a smile.
"Alright everyone, let's strike while the iron is hot and bring on the second item."
As soon as he finished speaking, a second hostess gracefully stepped forward carrying a mutton-fat jade box.
The jade box was placed on the auction stage and gently opened.
A soft red light emanated from the box, carrying a faint medicinal fragrance that could be smelled from afar; just one whiff of it made one feel warm and comfortable in their meridians.
"The second item is a 300-year-old Scarlet-Veined Spirit-Nourishing Herb."
The host gestured, his tone slightly seductive.
"Strengthen the foundation and nourish the soul."
"Especially when young Soul Master are building their foundation, using one of these plants can make their soul meridians 30% wider and thicker than those of ordinary people, making each breakthrough into a bottleneck in the future much more stable."
"You're all seasoned experts on the importance of a solid foundation, so I won't elaborate."
"Starting bid: two million Federation Coins; minimum increment: two hundred thousand!"
