Auction Price Reaches New High!

Doudou smiled faintly and raised her voice.

"Jade Spring, ten bottles in total, to be auctioned together!"

"The starting bid is Ten Thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"Each increase must be no less than One Hundred Gold Soul Coins!"

"The bidding begins now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the ordinary seats below impatiently raised a paddle.

"Eleven Thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"Twelve Thousand!"

"I bid Fifteen Thousand!"

The price climbed steadily, soon breaking past the twenty-thousand mark.

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's private room, Ning Fengzhi looked at the emerald-green spring water, deep in thought.

"This thing does seem to have some effect."

He turned to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, we haven't seen this Jade Spring before. It may be of some use to you, so I'll bid it down for you."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's expression remained calm, and he nodded.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong chuckled.

"Sect Master, how thoughtful of you."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. He did not bid immediately, instead quietly watching how things developed.

In another private room, Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes and stared at the jade bottles on the display platform.

Her little nose sniffed lightly, and a strange look appeared on her face.

"This smell... it's so familiar..."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh! Isn't this the water that seeped out of that little pool in the valley outside the Lake of Life?"

"I think I even washed my feet in it!"

Xiao Wu's little face immediately fell, full of regret.

"If I'd known this stuff was so valuable, I should've filled more of it to sell back then!"

"And besides, the water in the center of the Lake of Life is much more effective than this!"

She thought of something else, and her eyes darted around.

"Soul Bones... Er Ming seems to have collected quite a few of them, all sorts of strange shapes. I don't even know where he got them from. Next time I go back, I definitely have to make him bring a few out for me!"

At this thought, Xiao Wu grew a little worried again and tugged at Tang San's sleeve.

"Brother, why do I feel like today's auction is a bit off?"

"With so many rich people here, can we still buy that Soft Armor?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's worried appearance and smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. It'll be fine."

By now, the price on the floor had already climbed to Twenty-Eight Thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Just then, a clear female voice came from one of the private rooms on the second floor.

"Fifty Thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

The owner of the voice was none other than Ning Rongrong.

A hint of pride showed on her little face.

She had no use for this Jade Spring, but if she bought it back for Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Bone, they would definitely be very happy.

Inside Ning Fengzhi's private room, Bone Douluo grinned and nudged Ning Fengzhi's arm.

"Fengzhi, look. That girl Rongrong is still very obedient and sensible."

"She must be planning to buy it to show filial respect to me and Jian Ren!"

A gratified smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.

"Mm. I was originally worried she would spend that One Million Gold Soul Coins recklessly, but now it seems I was overthinking it."

"Since Rongrong wants to buy it, I won't compete with her."

When the crowd below heard this price, they burst into an uproar.

"Fifty Thousand! It's that private room again!"

"Heavens, first they spent One Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins on a Soul Bone, and now another Fifty Thousand on spring water. Which great clan are they from?"

On the auction stage, the smile on Doudou's face grew even sweeter.

"Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins! Any higher bids?"

Just then, from a VIP box in another direction, came a voice that sounded slightly soft and feminine.

"Sixty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Inside the private room, the Purple-Robed Bishop's expression lit up with joy.

Who did not know that the Pope loved things brimming with vitality the most?

For a woman, prolonging life also meant preserving beauty!

If he could buy this Jade Spring and present it to Your Excellency the Pope, Your Excellency the Pope would surely like it.

When Ning Rongrong heard someone follow the bid, her slender brows drew together, and her little mouth jutted out slightly.

Not to be outdone, she bid again!

"One Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

She directly raised the price by forty thousand, wanting to take it down just like she had done with the Thousand Year Soul Bone earlier!

"Hiss—"

A chorus of sharp inhalations rang out below.

One hundred thousand again!

This young lady in the private room spent money as if it were running water!

The Purple-Robed Bishop's face darkened slightly, and he was just about to raise the bid again.

Suddenly, a steady male voice rang out from another box that had never spoken before.

"One hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The moment this price came out, the entire venue fell silent for an instant.

The Purple-Robed Bishop, who had been about to increase the bid, was stunned as well.

One hundred and fifty thousand!

Although this Jade Spring was precious, raising the price to this point all at once was a bit too exaggerated.

"Which box is it?"

"I don't know. There hasn't been any movement from there before."

Everyone began discussing it, guessing at the identity of this newly emerged big spender.

Inside the box was none other than Prince Kunt of Balak Kingdom.

At this moment, he set down the bidding placard in his hand, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

His Majesty Xue Ye had been in poor health recently. If he could present this Jade Spring to him, it would surely ease His Majesty's worries!

He was determined to obtain this spring water!

Ning Rongrong looked in that direction, a trace of surprise appearing on her little face.

Although she was willful and spoiled, she also knew that this price had already far exceeded the Jade Spring's own value.

Although this thing was rare, the auctioneer had also said just now that its effects were not especially remarkable!

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not speak again.

"Hmph, one hundred and fifty thousand. Too expensive. I don't want it anymore."

Inside Ning Fengzhi's box, he watched his daughter give up, and an almost imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

Then, his gentle voice spread throughout the entire venue.

"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The whole venue was in an uproar once more.

Another private room that had never made a bid had made a move!

Did all the rich big shots like to enter the field later?!

Hearing this, Prince Kunt of Balak Kingdom frowned slightly.

He had not expected that someone else would also value this Jade Spring so highly.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke in a clear voice.

"My friend, this Jade Spring has a special use for me. I ask that you be willing to part with it."

"If I can win this item, I am willing to split off one bottle and gift it to my friend as thanks."

After saying this, he bid again.

"Two hundred and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment.

He naturally saw through the other party's identity!

Although Balak Kingdom was only a kingdom under the Heaven Dou Empire, it was still quite a considerable power in its own right!

Selling the other party a favor was no problem.

"Heh, since you've put it that way, I'll help make it happen."

Ning Fengzhi's voice carried a smile.

"However, one bottle won't be enough."

"Afterward, I'm willing to name a price and buy two bottles from you. What do you think?"

Prince Kunt was overjoyed when he heard that.

Since the other party was willing to give him face, he naturally wouldn't slap that face in return!

Besides, they were all this wealthy. One more friend meant one more path forward. It was only tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins!

"My friend, you're too courteous! If I can win the bid, I'll offer two bottles of Jade Spring with both hands. Why would there be any need to buy them?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly and stopped bidding.

"Then many thanks."

On the auction stage, Doudou's eyes shone again and again.

She hadn't expected it to really fetch such a high price!

She got a commission!

Then her voice grew excited.

"Two hundred and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins! Is there an even higher bid?"

"Two hundred and ten thousand, going once!"

"Two hundred and ten thousand, going twice!"

"Two hundred and ten thousand, going three times!"

"Sold!"

The crisp sound of the gavel rang out.

"Congratulations to this honored guest for successfully winning the Jade Spring!"

Backstage at the auction house, the supervisor Li An looked at the constantly climbing transaction amount, so moved that tears welled in his eyes.

His hands were clenched tight, and his body trembled slightly.

Not even in his dreams had he imagined that the Grade D Auction House he managed would one day see such a grand occasion!

With just two lots, the transaction amount had already reached this level!

And all of this was because of the newly arrived Field Master!

Inside the Field Master's Office, Ning Liu rubbed his chin and chuckled.

"Why are all today's auction items so ridiculously overpriced?"

"The effect of this Jade Spring is just so-so. It's true that it can repair hidden injuries and extend one's life, but its effects are limited."

"It's not as if there aren't similar spiritual medicines. It's just that most things like this build up resistance. The first use has the best effect, and if you use it again later, the effect is greatly reduced."

As he was thinking, that cold mechanical voice rang out in his mind again.

Ding! The second auction item, "Jade Spring," has been successfully auctioned!

Final price: two hundred and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!

Random return multiplier now being generated for the host...

Ning Liu's spirits lifted slightly, and a trace of anticipation flashed through his eyes.
