Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 15: Hanhai City Grand Auction
Ji Wuming packed up his things and headed towards the auction house in Hanhai City. Since he had enough gold soul coins, he had been looking for some soul guides and special items.

Just as Dean Shui said, his second soul ring is a thousand years old and is an extremely eye-catching existence. Even if he does not release the soul ring during the battle, if he participates in the soul fighting competition with others, he will have to show the soul ring.

If they are not hidden and are discovered, they will either join some forces or be wiped out in advance by those forces.

Although Dean Shui admired him very much and would not tell others about the Millennium Second Ring, it was impossible for him to stay alone in a quiet place and cultivate until he became a Soul King or even a Soul Emperor before coming out.

The most important thing on the path of becoming a soul master is to fight with others and soul beasts in order to identify and fill in the gaps to the greatest extent possible.

"I hope that Hanhai City's grand auction held every three years won't disappoint me!"

Ji Wuming looked at the blue circular building in front of him, which covered an area of ​​no less than 3000 square meters, and his obsession with fighting became stronger and stronger.

Just as he took out his gold card and asked the doorman to verify his funds, Ji Wuming turned around and saw that it was Dean Shui.

"It can't be such a coincidence, is this auction house in this important coastal town of the Tiandou Empire also owned by the Shui family?"

While he was thinking, the dean who was talking to someone also saw him and immediately walked forward.

Before he could speak, Ji Wuming asked, "Dean, why are you here? Could it be that the Shui family also gets a share of the profits from the Hanhai City auction?"

"No, I'm here to bid on some stuff."

Dean Shui looked at Ji Wuming, whom he had not seen for a month, and missed him quite a bit. Now that he was also attending the auction, things would be much easier afterwards.
"Let's go, the auction is about to start. If there's anything that catches your eye, I can buy it for you."

"Dean, I have plenty of money."

Ji Wuming then took the gold card after the capital verification and walked inside, and Dean Shui followed closely behind. The two of them received masks at a corner and put them on. Under the guidance of the waiter, they came to the magnificent auction area.
As bidders entered the venue one after another,

"boom"

The door to the auction area closed, and the three-year ultra-large-scale auction officially began. A graceful woman in a gorgeous blue dress walked onto the auction stage.
"Dear guests, our Hanhai City's grand auction, which takes place every three years, is about to begin. I hope you can find the items you desire here."

Before he finished speaking, an auction item was brought up. As the red cloth was lifted, ten pieces of yellow and red whale glue stacked together appeared in front of everyone.
"Dear guests, this whale glue is collected from the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast - the deep-sea narwhal. I don't need to introduce its wonderful uses. This auction will not be calculated by weight, but by the piece. The starting price for each piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue is 1 gold soul coins. Bidding is now open."

"I want one, 1,100 gold soul coins."

"I'll give you 1,200."

…………

There were still relatively few people who raised the price. Even though they were all wearing masks at the moment, they still didn't want others to accuse them of being incompetent because of the bidding for whale glue.

Ji Wuming looked at the ten pieces of whale glue on the auction table, swallowing his saliva continuously. He was very eager for it. Although some whale glue that was thousands of years old was no longer effective in strengthening his body, the whale glue that was ten thousand years old was far superior to other whale glues of lower years.
However, his money was limited and he couldn't spend it carelessly. At this time, Dean Shui on the side directly raised his sign to bid and shouted,

"Ten gold soul coins for ten thousand." The whole place suddenly fell silent, and then many people looked towards Dean Shui and laughed at him.

"Buying so much at once? Could it be that your constitution is extremely weak?"

Dean Shui ignored the gossip and glanced at Ji Wuming beside him, then continued to wait for the host to make the final decision.
"10,000 Gold Soul Coins for one, two, three times."

After receiving the auction item and paying 1 gold soul coins, Dean Shui handed two of them to Ji Wuming.

"Xiao Ji, these are for you. If you take this ten-thousand-year-old whale glue to the mainland and sell it, the price will be several times higher. Consider this as my investment in you. If you achieve something in the future, don't forget me."

Before he could finish his words, the whale glue was already delivered to Ji Wuming, leaving him with no way to refuse and he could only accept it.

Dean Shui continued to look at the next item. As time passed, various auction items were sold one after another, including one or two storage soul guides.

As an object made of a special material that was neither a weapon nor a soul bone was brought up, the host began to speak.
"This item is a special soul guide that can hide the aura of others. Whether it's hunting soul beasts or escaping from their sight, as long as you have it, all dangers are no problem."

At this point, the host deliberately glanced at the very curious guests in the VIP seats, pointed at the special soul guide on the display stand, and continued impatiently,

"However, this item was discovered in deep-sea ruins. When it was discovered, it was already damaged in many places and had been eroded by the sea for many years. Although it still has concealing effects, it is very unstable. The starting price is one thousand gold soul coins. Bidding is now open."

The distinguished guests below all took a wait-and-see attitude towards this item. Although this special soul guide was very practical, its drawbacks were also quite obvious.

Ji Wuming was extremely interested in this. He had actually encountered something he liked at this auction. If he could repair this special soul guide with concealing function,

Then wouldn't he need to go through so much trouble to hunt down the mythical sea soul beasts, or travel to the far north to hunt down ice silkworms and obtain their soul bones!
"Thirteen hundred gold!"

A fat nobleman dressed in luxurious clothes began to bid. Although this soul guide was of no use to him, he just liked to collect these useless soul guides.

At this moment, Ji Wuming had no time to compete with him, so he just raised his hand and called out a relatively high price.

"I'll pay you four thousand gold soul coins!"

When these words came out, the first person to be surprised was Dean Shui Wuliangshui.

"Xiao Ji, you're crazy! This damaged soul guide is only worth three thousand at most. Even if you buy it, it's probably just a collection item. It has no practical value at all. What's more, the method of repairing soul guides has long been extinct."

"Dean, you know I've been shopping around for some soul guides lately. I want to try and see if I can replicate or repair one or two."

As a coastal city, soul guides appear quite frequently. Although it is a bit early to start researching soul guides now, there is really no better way.
You can't just add a simulated spirit ring or a spirit bone that's thousands of years old just to hide your strength!
Besides, I have collected no less than twenty complete soul guides at present. I should try to reverse-engineer the various production processes of the soul guides and the most core soul power conduction array.
