In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 242 Three million gold soul coins, at least the other party didn't get a bargain.

Just then, a slightly immature voice suddenly rang out from below the stage: "100,000 gold soul coins."

It's obvious without even thinking that it's Huo Yuhao.

After all, apart from him, none of the other bidders had a way to erase the curse within the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade.

Hearing that someone had actually made a bid, Qingya was overjoyed.

You should know that one percent commission is a thousand gold soul coins! Even if you spend it lavishly, it would be enough to last for several years.

Normally, hosting an auction can earn you a few dozen to a hundred gold soul coins, which is considered quite good.

She, Qingya, is currently only a purple-level auctioneer. If she can auction off the Soul-Devouring Blade, she might be able to advance to black-level and preside over higher-level auctions.

However, the next second, another clear voice rang out in the front: "Two hundred thousand gold soul coins."

The one who made the bid was none other than Ruixue'er, who had come to challenge Huo Yuhao.

In the original story, she would willingly sacrifice herself to become the chosen one of destiny. In this life, Rachel has absolutely no goodwill towards her.

It even felt that it, a dignified imperial beast and the darling of the Star Dou Great Forest, would be so foolish as to sacrifice itself for a human.

Rachel: To put it bluntly, I have never considered sacrificing myself for Hakibai in this lifetime.

In the original story, however, he was sacrificed to a guy who already had a girlfriend.

If her Three-Eyed Golden Lion received the same treatment as Xiao Wu, the female protagonist in the first part of Douluo Continent, then she could be sacrificed.

The key issue is that there's nothing there, not even the qualifications to be a mistress.

How could Rachel, who had lived another life, possibly tolerate this?
If it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of Shrek Academy's powerful members, Ruixue'er would have wanted Uncle Chi to put a sack over Huo Yuhao's head.

"Three hundred thousand gold soul coins."

Having finally encountered a Listing Carving Knife, and with a way to remove the curse inside the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, how could Huo Yuhao possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?

Hesitating for even a second before bidding is disrespectful to one's own luck.

"One million gold soul coins."

The next second, Rachel shouted out a price that made the whole room boil with excitement.

"VIP number 1 has bid 100 million gold soul coins. Any higher bids?"

Upon hearing the price, even the auctioneer, Qingya, was somewhat dazed, to the point that her voice trembled slightly.

One million gold soul coins, that's a whole million gold soul coins! If this deal goes through, she'll earn a commission of 1 gold soul coins.

In previous auctions, she would only earn a few dozen to a hundred gold soul coins per auction, but this auction alone was worth more than a hundred of her usual earnings.

"One million and one hundred thousand."

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and quoted a price that made him feel a little pained.

Originally, 100,000 gold soul coins would indeed be considered a bargain.

However, once the price rises above one million, it's not really worth it.

A carving knife ranked at the bottom of the list, without any negative effects, would only cost around five million gold soul coins. (Shockingly, that's less than an apartment in the center of Star Luo City!)

Of course, if there were no negative effects, the Soul-Eating Carving Knife would at least rank in the top 30 of the carving knives.

As for the price, it will start at least at ten million gold soul coins.

"Two million gold soul coins."

Rachel's voice rang out again.

Although the auspicious beast clearly lacked experience in auctions, she wasn't stupid.

The value of this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is approximately three million gold soul coins.

Even if it was to steal Huo Yuhao's opportunity, Ruixue'er wouldn't be a sucker and directly ask for more than five million gold soul coins.

Besides, if she really did that, Hakibai's fist would land hard on her head in the next second.

Bai Ran: My money didn't grow on trees, you bastard!

On the other hand, upon hearing this price...

Huo Yuhao's already furrowed brows furrowed even more.

Especially Wang Yan and He Caitou, who were standing to the side, both began to shake their heads repeatedly. Originally, bidding for this murderous knife was a gamble; if it were worth 100,000 gold soul coins, they wouldn't be too heartbroken even if it went down the drain.

But the current price has already reached two million gold soul coins.

That money would be enough to buy a level seven or even level eight soul tool.

"Forget it."

Even Bei Bei, the senior disciple, couldn't help but remind his junior brother.

"Let's try again."

Huo Yuhao had originally planned to give up, but after hearing Elder Yi say that the carving knife was made of the legendary "Gold of Life" and its value was immeasurable, he changed his mind.

Huo Yuhao seemed to have made up his mind, and said very seriously.

Seeing this, Wang Yan shook his head helplessly.

Since Huo Yuhao is a junior whom even the most important figures in the academy have their eyes on, let alone a few million gold soul coins, the academy will do everything in its power to get him anything he sets its sights on.

"Three million gold soul coins!"

……

"It's already three million gold soul coins, are you going to raise the price again?"

On the other side, Bai Ran glanced at Rui Xue'er with some annoyance.

The fact that Huo Yuhao's tone was tinged with anger showed that Hagiray had driven Huo Yuhao to the brink of desperation.

In other words, Huo Yuhao did not turn evil.

If it were a genuine villain, Bai Ran and Rui Xue'er would probably have been surrounded by a bunch of men in black the moment they left the Starlight Auction.

"No more."

Ruixue shook her head.

To put it bluntly, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is nothing more than a carving knife made by a level nine Soul Master.

She could easily have Bai Ran ask Jing Hongchen to make one.

As for the raw material, the Life Gold, there is still quite a bit of it within the forbidden areas of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Weren't you going to steal it?"

Bai Ran asked softly.

"It's not worth it if it exceeds that price."

As Ruixue spoke, she shook her head, adding, "At least they didn't get the better deal, did they?"

"That makes sense."

For a moment, Bai Ran was unable to refute it.

I initially thought Ruixueer wasn't very bright, but it turns out she's quite shrewd.

Could this be what they mean by "greater than mentally challenged"?

Ruixueer: That's called being wise in a foolish way, being wise in a foolish way!

……

"Three million gold soul coins for the first time."

"Three million gold soul coins, second time."

"Three million gold soul coins, sold for the third time!"

Seeing that Guest No. 1 had no intention of continuing to bid, auctioneer Qingya quickly brought down her gavel.

It seemed as if they were afraid another customer would change their mind.

Thirty thousand gold soul coins! A full thirty thousand gold soul coins! Even the top gold auctioneer would find it difficult to earn that much in a single auction.

Normally, the auctioneer's commission is only one-thousandth of the excess amount of the auctioned item. It was only because this Soul-Devouring Carving Blade was auctioned too many times that the boss temporarily modified the incentive plan.

Qingya had a premonition that after this auction, she would become a Black-level auctioneer or even a Red-level auctioneer, and then be qualified to host top-level auctions.
