Douluo: The Unrivaled Evil Nightmare Devil

Chapter 65: The auction begins, the list of engraving knives (first order required!)
“It’s really frustrating…”

Xu Jiujiu rubbed her temples with a headache, pacing back and forth while thinking. Her high heels made a slight muffled sound as they stepped on the precious carpet, and her slender, white jade-like calves were faintly visible under the black gauze skirt.

It’s a pity that no one appreciates this beautiful scenery.

Looking at the many items in front of me, Xu Jiujiu felt like he was having difficulty making decisions.

It was a rare opportunity for her to host an auction, so she naturally hoped that the auction would be successfully completed, but this last item really troubled her.

Finally, when she set her sights on a very controversial and dangerous item, Xu Jiujiu made up her mind.

"Soul-Devouring Carving Knife..." After looking at the box containing the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife for a long time, he lowered his head and wrote down this last auction item.

Prior to this, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife had actually been unsold three times. As a ranked carving knife, it was even qualified to be put on a red-level auction, let alone a black-level auction.

It’s just because its evil nature is so strong that none of the dozens of owners it has had in history had a good ending.

This resulted in no one buying it.

But Xu Jiujiu just wanted to challenge herself to see if she could sell it. Even if she had to be an auctioneer, the princess felt that she could do her best.

Of course, in the auction in the original novel, the Soul-Devouring Knife was undoubtedly a failure. Even in the hands of her, the princess of the empire, it failed to be sold. In the end, this Soul-Devouring Knife was left on the bench and ended up at the purple-level auction.

After the last item was written on the auction list, Xu Jiujiu let out a long sigh, turned around and left.

……

a few days later.

Ye Qing, wearing a decent formal suit, walked out of the gate of Xinghuang Hotel and slowly walked towards the Starlight Auction House.

Along the way, Ye Qing also met many well-dressed nobles whose destination was the same as his. The Black Level Auction was already a large-scale event, and these soul master nobles naturally wanted to see if they could find any treasures.

Even if I don’t find any treasures, I just treat it as a way to spice up my boring life.

After all, there aren't many things that can entertain people in Douluo Continent. If Ye Qing is willing to tinker with these things, he might be able to develop an entertainment industry chain and make money.

It's just that this thing is too time-consuming. With Shrek's support, he doesn't need to worry about money at all. As a person who has not grown up, he cannot maintain this kind of lucrative entertainment industry chain.

Before long, the Starlight Auction House was already in sight.

It seemed that because today was a black-level auction, the quality of the maids at the gate of the Starlight Auction House had greatly improved. Ye Qing even saw from afar a noble throwing out a gold card, then hugging one of the maids' slender waist and walking into the auction house.

Here, these maids are nothing more than commodities.

Walking into the auction hall again, Ye Qing casually found a seat in the middle back and sat down, closing his eyes and waiting for the auction to begin.

He was very excited and nervous.

If he fails to obtain the Soul-Devouring Knife at the auction this time, his chances of abducting Alex in a few years will be greatly reduced.

As the personal grandfather during the Peerless Tang Sect period, Electrolux is indispensable.

Therefore, he was determined to obtain the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. If he could not get it at this auction, he would really have no choice but to try to open up a new channel from Xu Jiujiu.

After a while, all the lights in the auction hall went out, and then a soft golden light came on on the booth at the front.

A white hand lifted the red cloth, and then Xu Jiujiu's slender figure in a black auctioneer's dress walked out slowly, came to the middle of the booth, and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Dear guests, welcome to this black-level auction. I am the auctioneer Jiujiu, and I am very honored to host this auction." Xu Jiujiu made a very complicated etiquette gesture with his hands in front of him like a butterfly, and saluted slightly to everyone present. His soft and pleasant voice was clearly heard by everyone.

I have to say that Xu Jiujiu's outfit is really beautiful, generous and elegant, and coupled with her natural noble temperament, it is simply irresistible.

But none of the nobles present dared to talk nonsense to Xu Jiujiu, and even looked at her with a very honest look. Those who could participate in this level of auction basically knew Xu Jiujiu's origins. There were also some young people who didn't know her identity before, and then made a big fuss at the auction, wanting to buy Xu Jiujiu back as a maid.

The result is obvious. Those idiots never appeared in the Star Luo Empire again and simply disappeared from the face of the earth.

Xu Jiujiu might not do anything to them, but Xu Jiawei, who has always been paying attention to Xu Jiujiu, will not let these brainless idiots go.

After coming here a few times, unless you are tired of living, the look in your eyes when you look at someone for a long time will be so clear.

However, many nobles still flocked to the auction hosted by Xu Jiujiu. It was an honor to be able to attend an auction hosted by a princess of a country. It was even hyped that if one had not attended an auction hosted by Xu Jiujiu, one would not be considered a real noble.

With such a celebrity effect, there will basically be no unsold items at the auctions hosted by Xu Jiujiu, and every item can be sold at a price that satisfies her.

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to today's auction for a long time. I will not say any more. Let us get straight to the point of today." Xu Jiujiu gently knocked the auction hammer and said with a smile.

"Let's invite you to the first lot of today's auction."

The maid who had been waiting in the side aisle, holding a tray covered with red cloth in her hands, walked quickly to Xu Jiujiu's side.

"Ten thousand years ago, whale glue was only used as an aid to enhance sexual intercourse, but thousands of years ago, people discovered that whale glue has more functions than that. It can enhance the physical strength of soul masters, allowing soul masters to absorb soul rings beyond the limit." Xu Jiujiu told the story, and then lifted the cloth covering the tray, revealing the true appearance of the first item.

It was a dark yellow translucent crystal, about the size of a fist, and had an irregular round shape.

"That's right. Today's first lot is a piece of top-grade whale glue that is eight thousand years old! If it is consumed intact, it can at least increase the endurance limit of a soul master's soul ring by about five hundred years!"

Eight thousand years old whale glue can be described as a top-grade medicine, and its effect is comparable to that of top-grade elixirs.

Those who can participate in the auction are either soul masters or nobles, and this whale glue is useful for both groups of people. Soul masters can use it to improve their physical strength, and nobles can use it to increase sexual interest.

"The first item for auction: eight thousand years old whale glue. The starting price is fifty thousand gold soul coins. Each increase in price must not be less than five hundred gold soul coins. Everyone, please!" The auction hammer was tapped lightly for a long time, and then a large number of bids were rang out.

"Fifty-one thousand!"

"Fifty-five thousand!"

"I'll pay 60,000!"

"Eighty thousand!"

……

The starting price of fifty thousand does not mean that it is worth fifty thousand. As people continued to bid, the price of whale glue soon broke through six figures. But after reaching six figures, the frequency of bids also slowed down, and finally it was bought by a soul master for one hundred and sixty thousand.

Each of the following auction items will be sought after by ordinary soul masters.

Spiritual medicines, soul guides, soul guide manufacturing drawings, rare metals, and even a two thousand year old soul bone.

The competition for this soul bone is particularly fierce. Even though it is only a soul bone of a low-level soul beast, the Wind Wolf, it is a treasure that most soul masters will never be able to obtain in their lifetime.

Finally, this soul bone was bought by a soul master at the Soul Emperor level for 480,000 gold soul coins.

“I believe you all know that when soul engineers want to make soul guides, a good carving knife is their inseparable partner. Having a good carving knife can greatly increase their success rate when making soul guides. Among the many carving knives, there are also one hundred carving knives, each with different effects, which are sought after by soul engineers. They are the ranking carving knives.” Xu Jiujiu said with a smile.

"Of course, I believe everyone here has heard this information, but I am not saying this to attract attention, because our next lot is a ranking engraving knife!"

As soon as Xu Jiujiu said this, the entire auction hall went into an uproar.

Ye Qing, who had been lacking interest all the time, suddenly sat up straight, stared at the person talking at the booth for a long time, and his heartbeat began to speed up.

Is it coming!
