Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

"Ms. Ning, don't worry. I won't let you suffer any loss. Here is one million gold soul coins. How about it in exchange?" Lu Yu said with a smile, took out a golden card from his arms and handed it to Ning Rongrong.

It was a gold card from the Soul Guide Bank, which contained a full one million gold soul coins.

Ning Rongrong looked at the gold card in her hand and struggled in her heart. She really needed the money, but the space transfer ring was also very important to her.

"Mr. Lu, this space transfer ring is also very important to me. I..." Ning Rongrong bit her lip, finding it difficult to speak.

"Ms. Ning, I understand your difficulties. How about this, I give you one more thing in exchange?" Lu Yu said with a smile, taking out a small pill from his arms.

The pill exuded a faint fragrance, and just a sip of it made people feel relaxed and refreshed.

"Is this...Xuantian Pill?" Ning Rongrong looked at the pill in Lu Yu's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Xuantian Pill is a very precious pill that can improve the cultivation of soul masters after taking it, and it has no side effects. It is extremely rare in the entire Douluo Continent.

"Yes, this is the Xuantian Pill. After taking it, your cultivation level can be improved by at least one level. Moreover, there are no side effects." Lu Yu said with a smile and handed the Xuantian Pill to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong looked at the Xuantian Pill in her hand, and her heart was excited. She knew that the value of this Xuantian Pill was definitely not less than the space transfer ring.

"Mr. Lu, this..." Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Yu, not knowing what to do.

"Ms. Ning, don't hesitate. Although the space transfer ring is precious, for you, improving your cultivation is the most important thing. Moreover, I believe that with Miss Ning's talent and strength, you will be able to obtain better space-type soul guides in the future." Lu Yu said with a smile, his tone full of sincerity.

Ning Rongrong was moved when she heard this. She looked at Lu Yu and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lu, I promise you."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong handed the space transfer ring to Lu Yu, and took the gold card and Xuantian Pill from Lu Yu.

"Thank you, Miss Ning." Lu Yu said with a smile and put away the space transfer ring.

"Mr. Lu, you are too polite. I should be the one thanking you." Ning Rongrong bowed slightly, her heart full of gratitude towards Lu Yu.

"Okay, Miss Ning, let's go back." Lu Yu said with a smile and took Ning Rongrong back to his seat.

"Mr. Lu, why do you want this space transfer ring?" Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Yu curiously and asked.

"Haha, to be honest with you Miss Ning, I'm very interested in space-type soul guides. Moreover, the quality and power of this space transfer ring are very good, I like it very much." Lu Yu said with a smile, a hint of desire for space-type soul guides in his eyes.

"I see." Ning Rongrong nodded after hearing this, but she became even more curious. She didn't know why Lu Yu was so interested in space-type soul guides.

Although there were some good items in the following auctions, none of them aroused Lu Yu's interest.

It was not until the last auction item appeared that a gleam of light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes again.

It was a seemingly ordinary long sword. There were no patterns or decorations on it. It just emitted a faint cold light, as if it could freeze everything.

"This is an extremely precious treasure, called the 'Frost Sword'. It is a long sword made of ten thousand year old cold iron, with incredible power, able to freeze everything. Moreover, it also comes with a powerful soul skill called the 'Frost Field'. Within the Frost Field, everything will be frozen, and even a Titled Douluo will find it difficult to resist." The auctioneer's voice was filled with excitement, as if the Frost Sword was made by him personally.

"Frost Sword, the starting price is 500,000 gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 50,000 gold soul coins. Now, the auction begins!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.

Five hundred thousand gold soul coins, this is already an astronomical figure. Moreover, it is the reserve price!
"Five hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins!" A rough voice sounded first, and a soul master in black stood up and shouted loudly.

"Six hundred thousand gold soul coins!" Immediately afterwards, another voice sounded, this time it was a young soul master dressed in white.

"Seven hundred thousand gold soul coins!" A clear female voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a blue dress standing up with a faint smile on her face, but a determined light flashed in her eyes.

This woman was none other than Zhu Zhuqing, whom Lu Yu had met once before.

"Humph, a mere Agility Attack Spirit Master wants to snatch the Frost Sword from us?" A skinny Spirit Master snorted coldly and stood up, "800,000 Gold Spirit Coins!"

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins!" Zhu Zhuqing showed no sign of weakness and directly raised the price by fifty thousand gold soul coins.

"Nine hundred thousand gold soul coins!" The thin soul master raised the price again, obviously unwilling.

Tiandou Auction House, as one of the largest auction houses in the Tiandou Empire, hosts countless auctions every day, and the auction items are varied and everything.

But today's auction is a little different.

When the auctioneer walked onto the auction stage, there was an old man following him.

The old man looked gray-haired and his face was full of wrinkles, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"Dear guests, welcome to the Tiandou Auction House. I am today's auctioneer. And the old man next to me..." The auctioneer paused for a moment, and after scanning the entire venue, he continued, "He is our special item today!"

"What? The old man is the item for the auction?"

"How is this possible? Aren't auction houses only for auctioning items? When did they start auctioning people too?"

"That's right. Besides, this old man looks very old and seems to have only a few days left to live. What's the point of auctioning him off?"

"..."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was an uproar in the auction hall. Everyone looked at the auctioneer and the old man on the stage in astonishment, obviously unable to accept this fact.

The old man was also stunned. He didn't expect that he would be auctioned off, especially under the gaze of so many people.

"Ahem, everyone, please be patient and listen to me slowly." The auctioneer coughed twice, signaling everyone to be quiet. "This old man is indeed our special item today, but he is not an ordinary item. He is a soul beast!"

"Soul beast?"

"How is this possible? Don't soul beasts live in soul beast forests such as the Star Dou Great Forest? How come they appear here and transform into human form?"

"Yes, and this old man doesn't look like a hundred thousand year old soul beast. After a hundred thousand year old soul beast transforms, it is no different from a human. How could he be so old?"

"..."

The auctioneer's words once again shocked the entire audience. This time, even some soul masters showed expressions of disbelief.

"Yes, it is indeed a soul beast, but it is not a hundred thousand year soul beast, but a ten thousand year soul beast!" The auctioneer nodded and continued. "Ten thousand year soul beast?"

"Although a ten thousand year old soul beast is precious, it shouldn't be sold at an auction, right? And it appears in human form?"

"That's right. Although the spirit rings and spirit bones of ten thousand year spirit beasts are of great help to spirit masters, they are not indispensable to them."

"..."

After hearing the auctioneer confirm that the old man was a ten thousand year old soul beast, there was another round of discussion in the auction hall. This time, even some soul masters who were originally interested in the old man gave up the idea.

After all, although ten thousand year old soul beasts are precious, they are not worth getting at all costs.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. I haven't finished yet." The auctioneer spoke again, interrupting everyone's discussion, "This old man is not only a ten thousand year old soul beast, but he is also willing to sell his soul ring and directly sacrifice it to the buyer!"

"What? Selling spirit rings? Direct sacrifice?"

"This... How is this possible? Spirit rings and spirit bones are only dropped after the spirit beast dies. How can they be sold in advance? It's even more impossible to sacrifice them directly, right?"

"Yes, this is simply a fantasy, it is totally unbelievable."

"..."

The auctioneer's words once again raised the shock of the entire audience to a new level. This time, even some experienced spirit masters showed expressions of disbelief.

After all, spirit rings and spirit bones are extremely important to spirit masters. They are the key to improving their strength and even breaking through bottlenecks.

And now, some people actually said they wanted to sell soul rings and offer sacrifices directly. How could this not be shocking?
"I know it's hard for everyone to believe, but I can assure you that everything I said is true." The auctioneer looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd and felt a sense of pride in his heart. After all, he had never thought that he would come across such a unique item.

"This old man is a ten thousand year old soul beast. After transforming into a human, he practiced hard all his life. Unfortunately, his talent is limited and he stopped at the Soul King realm and could not go any further. Now, his life is coming to an end and he does not want to die in vain. Therefore, he is willing to sell his soul ring to leave some money for his descendants."

When the auctioneer said this, he couldn't help but sigh. After all, the old man's experience was indeed miserable.

"I see. This old man is really pitiful."

"Yes, it is not easy for a ten thousand year old soul beast to transform into a human, and it is even more difficult to go through the human cultivation path. I didn't expect that he would eventually stop at the Soul King realm. It is really fate that plays tricks on him."

"..."

After hearing the auctioneer's explanation, everyone in the auction hall couldn't help but show sympathy.

After all, for a ten thousand year old soul beast to transform into a human being requires tremendous courage and perseverance. Moreover, they also have to go through the human cultivation path, and the hardships and difficulties involved can be imagined.

However, this old man actually stopped at the Soul King realm on the road of cultivation and was unable to go any further. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, I know that you all feel very sorry for this old man, but the auction must continue." The auctioneer coughed twice and drew everyone's attention back to himself. "Okay, without further ado, I will now announce the starting price for this old man - 100,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins?"

"Isn't this price too high? You know, even if it's a real ten thousand year soul beast, its value is only about 100,000 gold soul coins."

"That's right. Besides, this old man is about to die. How much value can his spirit rings and spirit bones have?"

"..."

After hearing the starting price announced by the auctioneer, everyone in the auction hall couldn't help but frown, obviously dissatisfied with the price.

After all, one hundred thousand gold soul coins is not a small amount of money, enough to make some soul masters go bankrupt.

"Dear guests, I understand your concerns, but I want to remind you that this old man is not an ordinary ten thousand year soul beast. His true form is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!" The auctioneer looked at the dissatisfied expressions of the crowd, smiled slightly, and dropped another bombshell.

"Dark Evil God Tiger?"

"What? It's the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? It's one of the most peculiar soul beasts on Douluo Continent."

"Yes, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has six attributes: evil, darkness, lightning, wind, time, and space. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, its spirit ring is the fifth spirit ring that all dark attribute spirit masters dream of."

"..."

The auctioneer's words once again shocked the entire audience. This time, even some soul masters who were originally not interested in the old man showed interest.

After all, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is one of the most peculiar soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. Its soul rings and soul bones are of great help to soul masters.

Especially for those soul masters with dark attributes, the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is the fifth soul ring they have always dreamed of.

"Okay, now the starting price has been announced. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested, please make your bid." The auctioneer looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd, smiled slightly, and urged again.

However, this time, the auction hall fell into silence, and everyone looked at each other, obviously hesitating.

After all, the price of one hundred thousand gold soul coins is no joke, and although this old man is a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, his strength is only at the Soul King level, which is not worth it for some soul masters.

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins once!"

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins twice!"

"..."

The auctioneer frowned upon seeing this and began to urge the bidder. However, no matter how he urged, the auction hall was silent and no one was willing to bid.

"Alas, it seems that this old man is destined to be unsold." The auctioneer looked at the silent crowd and couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little regretful. After all, the soul ring and soul bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger are extremely precious. It would be a pity if they were unsold.

"Wait, I'll offer 110,000 gold soul coins!"

However, just as the auctioneer was about to announce that the auction had failed, a clear voice suddenly rang out in the auction hall. (End of this chapter)
