Chapter 188 The finale!
Thirty million gold soul coins scared off many people who tried to buy the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. You have to know that thirty million gold soul coins is a fortune that is enough to buy a medium-sized city!
That was a gold soul coin, not a silver soul coin or a bronze soul coin. The purchasing power of one gold soul coin could buy 150 loaves of bread. Even for a country, it would not be easy to come up with that much money.
But what he wanted to buy was just a soul bone. Who could be so rich?
At this time, in a lounge prepared for guests at an auction house, a little girl with blue hair looked at a silver-haired woman and said, "Sister Nana, is this soul bone so expensive? Do I have to spend so much money to buy it?"
The silver-haired woman said calmly, "I was just too lazy to compete with others, so I just used the front to crush others. Anyway, I don't think anyone will match this price. Anyway, we have plenty of money in the Qiling Tower, so it's not a loss to buy an Ice Explosion Soul Bone at this price."
The silver-haired woman is Gu Yuena, and the blue-haired little girl sitting next to her is Bai Xiu Xiu.
Today she was also invited by Starlight Auction House to participate in this top auction.
Originally, Gu Yuena wanted to attend the auction with Xu Xingyu, but the other party said that she would go to the auction with Shrek this time, which made Gu Yuena unhappy for once.
However, she could still understand why Xu Xingyu did this. After all, this was considered a team-building activity for Shrek, so it would be better to participate if possible.
Therefore, Gu Yuena could only take Bai Xiu Xiu with her to learn a little about the human world's view of money. Although she herself had average knowledge in this area, it was better than nothing, right?
This time, Gu Yuena bought the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone under the instructions of Xu Xingyu.
The reason why Xu Xingyu did not reveal the defects in the soul bones as in the original firefighting novel and then ask the other party to give them the soul bones for free was because he personally felt that this behavior was a bit of moral kidnapping.
Even if there was something wrong with this thing, it was not a reason to give it to them for free, right? And considering his personal relationship with the Xing Luo Empire, he felt a little embarrassed to cheat others out of their money.
So he asked Gu Yuena to buy it at the price at which the item was finally auctioned in the original book. Anyway, the final auction item to be auctioned by their Qi Ling Tower would be enough for Xu Xingyu to make back his investment.
After Gu Yuena offered 30 million gold soul coins, all other competitors finally gave up their plans for the auction, so the soul bone eventually fell into Gu Yuena's hands.
Back at Shrek, while everyone was still marveling at who was so wealthy, the introduction of the last auction item was about to begin.
Seeing this and under everyone's puzzled eyes, Wang Yan's face began to become serious. It seemed that the highlight of this event had finally arrived.
"Next, will be today's finale auction."
The screen of the soul guide screen turned into a golden color again, when the golden light gradually converged. Her Royal Highness Princess Jiujiu, who reappeared on the screen, had actually changed into a golden dress.
The fair skin is set off by the luxurious golden palace attire, and it is graceful and elegant without losing its elegance. The form-fitting cut perfectly outlines her charming curves.
Qingya has already introduced it before, wearing a golden auction uniform, which means that the final transaction price of the next auction item may exceed 100 million gold soul coins.
Even though they didn’t know what the auction item was yet, just Princess Jiujiu’s change of clothes made everyone feel excited. As a top auctioneer, this princess really knows how to grasp people's hearts!
"Dear guests, from Jiujiu's outfit, you can probably tell how precious our finale item is today. Frankly speaking, this is the only time I have ever seen this item. In my opinion, its value cannot be measured in monetary terms."
The voice of Princess Jiujiu, who had put on a golden dress, changed slightly again. Different from the previous one which was a bit seductive, there was an added solemnity in her voice now. Her whole expression also became serious. Just a few words made people fully feel her sincerity, and they could not help but believe her every word.
"I won't tell you the name of this item yet. I will first introduce its function to you all. The Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone was already very rare. And I dare say that the value of this last item today should not even be evaluated with money."
"I think many people can recognize the device in front of them?" As she spoke, Princess Jiujiu raised her right hand, and the soul guide screen suddenly changed. A transparent metal sphere appeared on the screen, with an orange-gold ring inside.
"This is a special container used by the Soul Contracting Tower to store souls. It is called a soul capsule, and the soul contained inside is the last item of this auction."
"My dear guests, you must be very curious about why the Soul Qie Tower would sell a soul at the auction. Is there anything special about this soul? When I first saw it, I had no idea what was so special about it. It was not until the people from the Soul Qie Tower explained it to us that I knew what kind of treasure it was. It is a blessing for you to see it today. As an auctioneer, it may be a bit disrespectful to say this, but I can't think of any other way to describe its preciousness and rarity."
"Dear distinguished guests, you should all know that in the world of soul beasts, there is such a situation. When a soul beast has cultivated for 100,000 years, it has a choice: continue to cultivate or transform into a human to continue cultivating. If it chooses to continue cultivating, it must rely on its own powerful talents to challenge the bottleneck that may cause its soul to fly away. Once it breaks through the bottleneck and enters a cultivation period of 100,000 to 200,000 years, we call it a super soul beast, also known as a fierce beast. Among the super soul beasts, the ten most powerful ones currently known to us humans are called the ten fierce beasts. It can be said that they are the most pinnacle existence among soul beasts."
"After saying so much, perhaps you will think, I know all this! Why do I need you to remind me? However, I must tell you that this is not nonsense. What I said is closely related to our finale item today. Because, the orange-gold soul ring you see in front of you is the soul of a fierce beast! It is a super soul beast with a cultivation level of 200,000 years! Such a scene, let alone you, I dare say that there are probably not many people in our entire Douluo Continent who have seen it."
After hearing Jiujiu's words, the whole room fell silent. Everyone, including Wang Yan, had a look of horror in their eyes.
