I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Chapter 70: The auction becomes more intense, the ancient map fragments
As the price continued to rise, the atmosphere in the venue became increasingly tense.

The rarity and powerful strength of soul bones drive countless soul masters crazy, especially this kind of soul bones from crystal dragon beasts, which are even rarer to see.

Crystal dragon beasts are rare, and the power contained in their soul bones far exceeds that of ordinary soul beasts, especially the left arm soul bone, which is almost comparable to the value of the head soul bone.

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was financially strong, 3.9 million gold soul coins were already close to their bottom line.

He turned his head to look at Jian Douluo, who nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue to raise the price. Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and raised the auction card in his hand.

"Four million gold soul coins!"

This offer was like thunder, instantly quieting the noise in the venue.

Four million gold soul coins was already an astronomical figure. Even the nobles of the Tiandou Empire did not dare to easily come up with such a huge sum of money.

Ning Fengzhi's offer obviously shocked most people, and the bidding sounds in the venue suddenly weakened a lot.

However, just when everyone thought that this soul bone would fall into the hands of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, a low voice came from the corner of the auction hall.

"Four and a half million gold soul coins."

The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the source of the sound, only to see a man in a black robe slowly standing up with a faint smile on his face.

His eyes swept across the entire room, finally stopping on Ning Fengzhi, and he nodded slightly.

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly. He recognized the man. This man was none other than David Lin, a powerful Soul Douluo from the royal family of the Xingluo Empire.

David Lin's appearance instantly froze the atmosphere in the venue. Everyone held their breath involuntarily and no one continued to speak.

The Xing Luo Empire's influence spread across the continent, and even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was unwilling to engage in direct conflict with it easily.

Ning Fengzhi stared at the complacent Xingluo Empire strongman, and subconsciously looked at Jian Douluo Chenxin beside him, "Uncle Jian, keep raising the price."

Jian Douluo was waiting for this sentence and directly raised the price to five million gold soul coins.

"Five million gold soul coins!"

This offer was like a raging storm, instantly pushing the atmosphere in the venue to a climax.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jian Douluo, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

Five million gold soul coins was far beyond the reach of most people. Even David Lin, a powerful figure from the Star Luo Empire, couldn't help but frown.

Dai Weilin's eyes darkened, and he looked at Jian Douluo coldly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He was naturally aware of the financial resources and strength of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but he did not expect the other party to be so decisive and directly raise the price to five million gold soul coins.

This is no longer just a competition of financial strength, but also a contest between two major forces.

Dave Lin pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly, slowly sitting back in his seat and giving up on raising the price. He knew that continuing to raise the price would only exacerbate the situation. The relationship between the Xingluo Empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was already delicate, so there was no need to completely tear each other apart over a soul bone.

Upon seeing this, the auctioneer immediately announced loudly: "Five million gold soul coins for one time! Five million gold soul coins for two times! Five million gold soul coins for three times! Deal! This crystal dragon beast's left arm soul bone belongs to the distinguished guest of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

As the auction hammer fell, the atmosphere in the venue finally eased.

Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had paid a huge price, it was undoubtedly worth it for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to obtain this soul bone.

Jian Douluo still looked calm, as if five million gold soul coins were just a casual gesture to him. His eyes swept across the entire venue and finally stopped on David Lin. He nodded slightly, as if declaring victory in this contest.

However, just when everyone thought the auction was about to end, the auctioneer suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.

"Dear guests, we will now present to you a very special item. This item is neither a soul bone nor a soul guide, but it possesses unparalleled value."

As the auctioneer finished speaking, a waiter walked up to the auction table, pushing a delicate cart covered with a red silk cloth, which seemed to hide something mysterious.

The auctioneer slowly lifted the silk cloth, revealing an ancient map. The map was a light golden color, with complex patterns engraved on the surface, faintly emitting an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"This is a map of ancient ruins. According to legend, this map records an ancient ruin that has never been excavated. It may contain countless precious treasures, and may even contain the legendary 100,000-year-old soul bones!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue instantly became boiling.

The temptation of the ancient ruins is irresistible to any soul master. Even Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo couldn't help but reveal a solemn look.

Lin Yuan's attention was also attracted by the map. A strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he had a strong interest in the map.

The auctioneer smiled faintly and announced loudly, "The starting price for this fragment of the ancient ruins map is five million gold soul coins. Each bid must be no less than five hundred thousand gold soul coins. Now, the bidding begins!"

As the auctioneer finished speaking, bidding sounds began to rise again. Almost all the nobles couldn't help but increase the price, as if they wanted to get the map.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes. He knew Douluo Continent better than anyone else, yet he had never heard of any ancient ruins. Could it be that his appearance had caused the original timeline to shift?

However, this map has a special spiritual power, and it seems that it was left behind by a powerful Titled Douluo before his death.

Although there are only fragments, it will still attract countless people to snatch it and obtain the real secret.

However, Lin Yuan, who was curious, did not raise the price. Five million gold soul coins had exceeded his budget, and the soul could only fetch five million. In this situation, the most suitable thing to do was to kill and rob.

"I'd like to see who can get this fragment of the map."

The powerful men of the Xingluo Empire directly raised the price to eight million gold soul coins. It seemed that they knew the importance of the map and were willing to snatch it at any cost.

The eight million gold soul coins made the strong men and nobles in the field look at each other, and finally they all chose to give up. After all, the price had exceeded their budget, and there was no need to spend eight million gold soul coins to buy a tattered map fragment.

If it is really as the auctioneer said, then it is fine, but if it is just a gimmick, then you will lose everything.
