Mine, All Mine
"Achieve your Second Martial Soul!"
Xu Jiujiu's last words were like a bombshell dropped on a calm lake.
The entire Starlight Auction House instantly erupted in excitement.
A brief, deathly silence fell over all the private rooms.
Immediately afterwards, beams of intense, almost tangible gazes were fixed on the Snow Empress Embryo, sealed by the God Sealing Altar, in the center of the screen.
That's the embryo of one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the Heavenly Snow Woman and Snow Empress!
If you can obtain it and successfully absorb it, you will have a chance to directly obtain Second Martial Soul.
This temptation is enough to make any Soul Master lose their mind.
It's hard to imagine what the Snow Empress, who is being watched like a precious resource by so many people, is thinking right now.
The leaders of the three major Soul Beast settlements seem to have different fates.
Even the Beast God Di Tian had his moments of glory.
Although he was ultimately struck down by the Heavenly Tribulation and his body was turned into Cosmic Dragon, it was all because of Gu Yuena's scheme.
The Evil Emperor is even more outrageous.
He first engaged in a passionate battle with Huo Yuhao for hundreds of rounds, but ultimately lost by a single move.
Later, when he failed to possess Huo Yuhao's body, he became one of Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit, which could be considered a different kind of immortality.
Let's take a look at Snow Empress...
Tsk.
You're done pooping, sister.
Now, being watched like merchandise and auction items by a group of humans, the Snow Empress has completely lost her dignity.
Calling her a disgrace among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts is perfectly acceptable.
However, we might end up being family in the future, so I'll save you some face.
As for now... the existence of the Snow Empress Embryo is related to whether Meng Hongchen can achieve the Ultimate Ice and turn adversity into Fortune Follows Misfortune.
For the sake of the Snow Empress, he forcefully suppressed the urge to take Meng Hongchen and the others to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The goal is to achieve the desired result in one step.
Unlike Xiao Hongchen, who needs the assistance of Divine Trial.
Speaking of which, Electrolux should be waking up soon, right?
Is this old man a heavy sleeper?
He's the Fortune Follows Misfortune adversity into fortune; without him, things wouldn't be possible.
I don't know how.
well.
Indeed, mastering a skill makes you sought-after wherever you go.
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, starting bid—80 million Gold Soul Coin!"
"Each bid increase must be at least one million Gold Soul Coin!"
"Eighty million!"
It's unclear which private room was the first to call out a price.
Immediately afterwards, the golden numbers at the bottom of the screen began to jump wildly.
Eighty-one million!
Eighty-two million!
Eighty-five million!
Ninety million!
In just a few breaths, the already outrageously high starting price was raised to over 90 million.
Those forces that normally wield considerable influence in their respective countries seem to have lost their minds, raising prices without hesitation each time.
After all, this is the Second Martial Soul!
If obtained successfully, it could potentially allow a genius Soul Master to undergo a complete transformation.
Such an opportunity, let alone 100 million Gold Soul Coin, even 200 million or 300 million, would be enough to tempt them.
The number quickly approached one hundred million.
Bao Liang sat in Box Number Two, his eyes glued to the screen.
Then, he raised his hand and slammed it on the table.
"Add!"
"Add as much as you can, damn it!"
"Let's see who can be richer than me!"
As he finished speaking, he slammed a Mingde Hall Brilliant Supreme Savings Card heavily onto the table.
The crisp sound echoed throughout the auction house via the sound-collecting Soul Tool.
The numbers on the screen paused slightly.
The next second, it jumped to a number that made countless people hold their breath.
One hundred million!
The entire auction hall fell silent once again.
Bao Liang leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and his face was full of arrogance and wealth.
You think you can kill me with three small goals' worth of Gold Soul Coin?
I have three small goals, I laugh at fifteen small goals, and I dream of twenty small goals!
Even so, if you can still snatch it from my hands in a second, I'll feed this Snow Empress Embryo, along with the God Sealing Altar and the entire Starlight Auction House, right here and now!
Bao Liang's price increase was simply too outrageous.
The golden number froze for a full three seconds before slowly resuming its ticking.
One hundred and one million.
One hundred and two million.
One hundred and five million.
Prices are still rising.
However, compared to before, they were noticeably more cautious.
But Bao Liang wasn't flustered at all.
He looked at the constantly fluctuating numbers and even felt a little like laughing.
Keep adding more.
Why didn't you add it?
Are you out of money?
If you don't have money, just say so sooner rather than later, so as not to delay him from bringing Snow Empress home.
As the price approached 110 million again, Bao Liang slapped him once more.
He also slapped another savings card onto the table.
"Add!"
"I offer 150 million!"
Come on!
"Let's see who's richer!"
The sound reverberated throughout the auction house via the soul-guided screen.
Bao Liang's expression, as if he wanted to wear the words "I'm rich" on his face, almost made Qing Ya, who was standing next to him, lose her balance.
She gripped the sofa armrest, feeling her legs go weak.
So rich.
They're so rich.
This doesn't look like someone attending an auction.
They're clearly here to buy goods!
Qing Ya has worked at the Starlight Auction House for many years and has seen many big shots who spend money like water.
But she had never seen anyone like Bao Liang, who talked about 150 million as if he were buying groceries, before.
Especially those two exquisite savings cards.
Every time I was slammed on the table, it felt like a slap in the face to someone else.
"Bang!"
A loud bang came from VIP box number four.
The two members of the Body Sect kicked the table to pieces.
Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at the numbers on the screen.
"Asshole!"
"Who on earth is so rich! There are so many rich people!"
"Are you trying to kill us?!"
In VIP Box No. 6, the Shrek members also stared at the nine-digit number and fell into silence.
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
He can't even come up with a million now, let alone 150 million.
Wang Yan's face turned ashen.
Bei Bei and the others also wore bitter expressions.
It's not that they don't want to fight.
It's true that you can't win.
At times like these, academic glory and future plans seem utterly insignificant in the face of an absolute financial disparity.
Similar scenes played out repeatedly in other private rooms.
Some gritted their teeth and continued to raise the price, some gave up with grim faces, and others had already begun to secretly inquire about Bao Liang's identity.
Only Xu Jiawei in VIP box number one was smiling very happily.
He leaned back on the soft sofa, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his eyes full of calculation.
"Hall Master Hongchen."
"I hope you like the gift I prepared for you."
The higher the price of the Snow Empress Embryo, the greater the price Jing Hongchen will have to pay.
More importantly, once this thing falls into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire, what will happen next is not necessarily up to Jing Hongchen.
Regardless of the final outcome, the Star Luo Empire will not suffer a loss.
Xu Jiawei was even starting to look forward to seeing what kind of expression Jing Hongchen would make when she saw that "gift".
Bao Liang was also smiling broadly.
Hehehe.
Xiao Xue Emperor, come quickly into Uncle's arms.
Hehehehehe!
Mine! They're all mine!
It wasn't just Bao Liang.
Even Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had beaming smiles on their faces.
Meng Hongchen grabbed Bao Liang's arm and pressed herself against him.
"Little Baozi, are we really going to buy Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo?"
"Certainly."
Bao Liang patted the back of her hand, full of confidence.
"No one will take this from me tonight."
