Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 291 Light Goddess Butterfly

Now, among the inheritors of the seven deadly sins, only the inheritor of Gluttony remains unidentified.

However, not all soul masters have recorded martial spirits, and not all recorded soul masters have martial spirits as distinctive as Xiong Lai's. Therefore, after reading the information, Lin Rong was still unable to determine which soul master the Gluttony inheritance belonged to.

However, the only confirmed inheritor of the gods is Xiong Lai, but Lin Rong has selected two suspected targets who are suspected to be the inheritors of the gods.

Tuoba Sheng, the young master of the Holy Dragon Sect, has the Tuoba family's inherited martial spirit, the White-Armored Earth Dragon, and is suspected to be the inheritor of the God of Earth.

Li Cang, a civilian soul master, possesses a mutated martial soul, the Sky-Splitting Falcon, and is suspected to be the inheritor of the God of Speed.

Tuoba Sheng was born in the Holy Dragon Sect and was the young sect leader, so his martial soul must be the White-Armored Earth Dragon or a benign mutation of the White-Armored Earth Dragon.

Li Cang is a member of the Eat and Drink Team. Like Li Cang, who has been confirmed to be the inheritor of Laziness, and Yi Shuihan, who is most likely the inheritor of the God of Emotions, he is a rare soul master with a recorded martial soul.

Unfortunately, there is no external record of the contestants in the data.

If so, Lin Rong would be able to identify the name and team he belonged to based on the appearance of the space inheritor.

"Why are they all so secretive? Can't they reveal their martial spirits like the Eat and Drink Team?"

"Whatever. When the knockout round comes, what's supposed to be exposed will be exposed anyway."

"There is only half a month left until the knockout rounds. We have waited so long, so we can wait a little longer."

……

The sun rose and the moon set, and quickly several days passed.

On this day, there were still seven days before the official start of the knockout round of the competition.

The Spirit Hall joined forces with several forces to hold a grand auction.

There are only two items for auction: living soul beasts and soul bones.

Of the two auction items, soul bones needless to say are the most coveted treasures that all soul masters in the soul master world dream of.

As for the other type of auction item, living soul beasts, it sounds like it cannot be compared with soul bones at all, but it is one of the common soul master auction items at auctions.

Soul masters need to absorb soul rings to advance, and most soul masters go to the soul beast forest in person to hunt down their desired target soul beast.

However, there are also some noble soul masters who are unwilling to go to the dangerous soul beast forest, but they must absorb soul rings of soul beasts in order to advance.

Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the nobles, the trade of selling living soul beasts came into being.

Since the living soul beasts auctioned in this auction can be auctioned together with their soul bones, they are naturally not mediocre soul beast species, but rare soul beast species that are hard to come by.

After dusk, night falls.

This grand auction also took place under the starry night sky.

This auction was led by the Spirit Hall, but the auctioneer in charge of this auction was not from the Spirit Hall.

"Xingguan Sect, could this sect have started out as an auction?"

In box number seven, Lin Rong thought so.

The auctioneer was a young woman with a graceful figure. Although she did not say which faction she belonged to, the star crown pattern embroidered on her long skirt showed that she was from the Star Crown Sect.

In Lin Rong's perception, the female auctioneer was over 25 years old and could not be a member of the two teams of Xingguan Sect.

This auction was a spur of the moment initiative by Spirit Hall, which was jointly organized by various major organizations.

The Xingguan Sect had no idea about this auction in advance, but they were able to replace the auctioneer with their own people when the Spirit Hall had the advantage.

It is conceivable how much the Spirit Hall trusts the Xingguan Sect's auctioneer's business ability. "The first lot is a 10,000-year-old soul bone, and it is also a head soul bone. It is more than 14,000 years old and is an extremely precious treasure."

The auctioneer lifted the red cloth on the tray in the maid's hand and said slowly:

"The head soul bone is not only the rarest soul bone among the six soul bones, but it can also greatly enhance the spirit power of the soul master. With this soul bone, you will not be afraid of certain soul skills in this competition."

She did not specify what those soul skills were, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that the soul skills she was referring to were the Shura Illusion of Canghui Academy.

Canghui Academy has entered the knockout round. Many teams are wary of their team's seven-in-one soul skill fusion skill, Shura Illusion. The appearance of this ten thousand year old head soul bone is just in time.

"The starting price is five million gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a wealthy buyer called out:
"Five and a half million!"

"Six million!"

"Six hundred and ten thousand..."

"Seven million! The price is only increased by 100,000 at a time. If you don't have money, don't join in the fun!"

"Ten million! If you have the money and the ability, you can raise the price. I will accompany you to the end!"

"..."

In a certain box, the person who had just raised the price by seven million did not speak again.

"Ten million gold soul coins for one time, ten million gold soul coins for two times, ten million gold soul coins for three times, deal. Congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP Room 13 for winning this ten thousand year soul bone. The soul bone you bid for will be delivered to you later."

……

Ning Fengzhi was sitting next to Lin Rong, and he quickly found out who the person was who had bid seven million for the bag.

"Xiangjia Sect, I thought they were hired by the auction house, but now it seems that Xiangjia Sect is just out of money and is still being so arrogant."

Like all auctions, the first lot is second only to the finale and the main lot in terms of value in order to create a good atmosphere.

Therefore, the next auction items were just some thousand-year-old soul bones, or soul beasts that Lin Rong thought had no value.

Just because Lin Rong doesn't like these auction items doesn't mean others don't, so the atmosphere in the auction hall has remained hot.

"The 36th lot, and also the third to last lot in tonight's auction."

The auctioneer kept the audience in suspense, pointing to the small cage covered with red cloth beside him and saying mysteriously:

"This auction item is a hundred-year soul beast, but its rarity is comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year soul bone. Can you guess what kind of hundred-year soul beast is worth so much?"

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from somewhere in the box:

"Light Goddess Butterfly!"

The other party's affirmative tone stunned the unprepared auctioneer. She didn't expect that someone would guess what the auction item was so quickly.

So, she didn't want to keep the secret any longer and gently lifted the red cloth covering the cage.

As the red cloth slid to the ground, a beautiful blue butterfly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The blue on the butterfly's wings is not a single color, but a gradient composite blue. The color of the wings is very different when viewed from different angles.

It may be light blue, dark blue, or azure blue, and it keeps changing at different angles and in different lights. There is also a white band in the center of the wings that runs through the front and rear wings, like a brilliant jewel inlaid on them, gorgeous and charming.
