In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 80. Shock! Adult products appear at a top-tier auction.

It's hard to imagine that the little princess of the two quasi-gods, the successor of the Sea God Pavilion, has never taken the Qiankun Creation Pill. If this got out, it would only make the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire laugh their heads off.

It should be noted that young masters of large soul master families in the Sun Moon Empire, such as Xiao Hongchen, Lin Yue, and Ma Rulong, would be able to obtain a Qiankun Creation Pill for them even if it meant emptying their entire family coffers.

Even if Ma Xiaotao hadn't been switched, she would have done the same. Because she couldn't fuse with the soul bone, her soul power was four levels lower than at the same time in the original story, so she couldn't possibly give up this Qiankun Creation Pill.

In less than five minutes, the number on the big screen had grown to 90 million, and there was no sign of it slowing down. Hundreds of millions was just the beginning, not the end.

Too lazy to argue any further, Aying went straight to the big screen and announced her price.

"The right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old golden earth dragon king!"

As the text gradually appeared on the big screen, even the wealthy Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team shook their heads. The value of the Qiankun Creation Pill was indeed comparable to a high-quality 100,000-year soul bone, but that didn't mean they were willing to exchange a 100,000-year soul bone for it. After all... the Sun Moon Empire had the production channels for the Qiankun Creation Pill; it was just a bit more troublesome to collect the medicinal materials.

Unsurprisingly, the other Soul Masters participating in the auction couldn't offer a higher price, and the Qiankun Creation Pill fell into the hands of the little rich girl "Ma Xiaotao".

"Senior Sister Xiao Tao." Huo Yuhao's teasing voice suddenly rang out.

Ah Ying was in a great mood. Looking in Huo Yuhao's direction, she smiled and said, "Junior Brother Yuhao, is there something you need?"

"Um..." Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Senior Sister Xiaotao, let's go and invite Senior Dai back together later. The Shrek team can't do without him. We can't just hand over the championship of the Soul Master Competition to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Please come back? Heh..." A-Ying sneered, "Huo Yuhao, aren't you being a bit too nosy? What does it matter to you whether our youth group wins the Soul Master Competition or not? Mind your own business!"

"Considering that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect share the same origin, when did Shrek Academy ever forbid Tang Sect from recruiting disciples within the academy? Allowing you to recruit disciples and develop Tang Sect within the academy is a favor, not allowing you is our right. Don't take this for granted!"

"Our Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent. For the honor of the academy, we should strive to win the championship..." Huo Yuhao's voice was tinged with tears.

Aying said irritably, "Huo Yuhao, are you fucking crazy? I just kicked Dai Yueheng out, and now you want me to bring him back? Do you think I'm that cheap?"

As she spoke, A-Ying grabbed Huo Yuhao by the collar and gave him a good beating. She really couldn't understand how someone with cerebellar atrophy could become a God-King? Are God-Kings in this world really that worthless?

Seeing Huo Yuhao screaming in pain as he was being beaten, the other team members decided to mind their own business. Ma Xiaotao may have a bad temper, but she knew how to control herself and wouldn't hurt Huo Yuhao badly, so there was no need to stop her.

Beibei wanted to stop Ma Xiaotao, but... in terms of seniority, Ma Xiaotao was his grandmother's generation. His privileged status was useless in front of Ma Xiaotao. If he angered her, she might even beat him up too.

Beibei silently prayed for good luck, returned to her seat, and pretended to be unaware of the situation, enjoying the snacks on the table.

Xu Qiuyu's figure appeared on the big screen once again, with a crescent-shaped pendant displayed in a transparent showcase on the exhibition stand.

"This... is the second item up for auction. After research by many powerful figures in my Star Luo Empire, it is highly likely that a self-created soul skill is hidden inside, which only a soul master with the right destiny is qualified to activate."

"There will be a five-minute viewing period before the bidding begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the camera suddenly zoomed in, and a silver-white crescent-shaped pendant came into everyone's view.

"Why does it look like something you'd find at a cheap street stall? This kind of old-fashioned hat style... ugh, I wouldn't wear it even if you gave it to me!"

Inside the VIP room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team, Meng Hongchen, standing in front of the large screen, curled his lip, a look of displeasure immediately appearing on his face. Damn it, all that anticipation for nothing.

That's true. Compared to the Qiankun Creation Pill, this kind of pendant with unknown uses is indeed a bit of a mood killer. This thing has absolutely no guarantee of success. If you're unlucky... hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold soul coins will go down the drain. It's not even a decorative item.

Even if we're not short of money, we can't just waste it like this.

In contrast, Lin Yue stared calmly at the pendant on the large screen. After a long silence, she hurriedly stood up, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect towards Jing Hongchen, and said, "Grandpa Jing, I want this pendant. Is that... alright?"

"No problem!" Jing Hongchen readily agreed. These kinds of blind box auction items never exceed the price of a ten-thousand-year soul bone (five million gold soul coins). If Lin Yue likes to bid, then so be it. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team doesn't lack this kind of funding.

"Viewing time is over. The starting price for this auction item is 50,000 Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must be at least 5,000 Gold Soul Coins higher. The item will be sold if no one bids within 30 seconds!"

Ultimately, the pendant was sold for 1.3 million gold soul coins and immediately sent to the VIP room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team through the back office. The moment Lin Yue received the pendant, she quickly found a corner and sat down cross-legged, falling into a state of enlightenment. A crescent-shaped silver-white mark appeared faintly on Lin Yue's brow. Due to the obstruction of her bangs, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team did not notice anything unusual.

The auction continued, so boring it made people drowsy. All eight items were rather unremarkable, and the final price was less than one-tenth of the Qiankun Creation Pill.

"Next up is the grand finale of this top-tier auction (the second to last). Compared to the Qiankun Creation Pill, I believe many young Soul Masters will prefer this auction item."

Is there someone in your heart whom you can never reach in this lifetime?

Are you... still troubled by the fact that lovers cannot stay together for life?

"With this multi-functional lifelike puppet, all your problems will be solved. It can not only be customized in terms of gender, but also in terms of appearance and body shape, perfectly recreating the male or female god in your mind."
