Chapter 61 Fierce Auction [Please read and subscribe!]

Dongfang Qingcang smiled slightly and looked straight at the auction house. He also wanted to see how much this soul bone could fetch at auction.

The auctioneer clapped his hands lightly and introduced, "This item is a 40,000-year-old Light Attribute Soul Bone. As you all know, the value of a Light Attribute Soul Bone is extremely high. Even if you add up all the Soul Bone in the entire Douluo Continent, there are no more than fifteen of them."

"Therefore, the starting bid for this soul bone is relatively high."

"Five million gold soul coins, with a fluctuation of no less than one hundred thousand."

Upon hearing the auctioneer's words, everyone in the room wore a solemn expression.

Five million gold soul coins...

That's already an astronomical amount of gold soul coins. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, besides the top sects, the only ones who could come up with so many gold soul coins at once are probably the two great empires and the Spirit Hall.

The auction hall fell silent as everyone silently weighed the value of the Light attribute soul bone against their own strength.

Just then, Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, stepped forward and, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, unceremoniously raised the auction paddle in his hand and said, "I bid five million one hundred thousand gold soul coins."

Upon seeing this, Prince Xuexing, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, and the powerful figures from various forces all frowned.

As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, their funds are indeed abundant.

Ning Fengzhi's bid instantly intensified the atmosphere in the auction hall. Everyone understood that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's involvement meant the competition would become even fiercer.

Prince Xuexing frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He gave a soft snort, slowly raised the auction paddle in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Five million two hundred thousand gold soul coins."

Not to be outdone, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, raised his hand slightly and said in a calm tone, "Five million three hundred thousand gold soul coins."

The powerful figures from various factions exchanged glances, knowing full well that their financial resources might not be comparable to those of these giants, but they were unwilling to give up easily.

A sect leader from a medium-sized sect gritted his teeth, raised his auction paddle, and said, "Five million four hundred thousand gold soul coins."

However, his offer immediately drew everyone's attention, since the participation of a mid-sized sect in this competition among giants seemed somewhat risky.

Ning Fengzhi remained calm and raised his auction paddle again: "Five million five hundred thousand gold soul coins."

Seeing this, many people chose to give up, but Ning Fengzhi showed no sign of stopping, as if he was determined to obtain this light-attribute soul bone.

Prince Snowstar and Salas exchanged a glance, both showing hesitation. They understood that continuing to raise the price might come at a huge cost, but they were also reluctant to give up.

A brief silence fell over the auction house as everyone waited for the next bidder, making the ownership of the soul bone increasingly elusive.

Dongfang Qingcang raised an eyebrow and said, "If the price is only a little over five million, it's obviously a bit uninteresting."

Xue Qinghe asked with great interest, "What does Your Excellency mean...?"

Dongfang Qingcang smiled slightly, as if Xue Qinghe knew everything even without him saying a word.

Xue Qinghe raised his auction paddle and said, "Eight million gold soul coins."

The bid for "Xue Qinghe" was like a bombshell, exploding in the auction room.

Everyone gasped. Eight million gold soul coins—this was far beyond their wildest imaginations. Prince Xuexing's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected this.

The reason why "Xue Qinghe" would so decisively raise prices so significantly.

Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, also narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, frowned slightly. This price had exceeded his budget. He glanced at "Xue Qinghe" and secretly wondered what the other party's intentions were.

The powerful figures from various factions shook their heads and sighed, knowing that they were powerless to compete at this price.

The auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement: "Eight million gold soul coins! Any higher bids?"

A hush fell over the room; no one dared to raise their paddle again. Dongfang Qingcang's lips curled into a satisfied smile, seemingly quite pleased with the result.

Xue Qinghe remained calm, as if the eight million gold soul coins were a small sum to him. However, unseen by others, a subtle calculation flashed in his eyes.

The auction for the Light attribute soul bone seemed to have ended prematurely due to Xue Qinghe's bid.

However, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was somewhat reluctant and gritted his teeth, saying, "Eight and a half million gold soul coins!"

Ning Fengzhi's second bid caused another stir in the auction hall. Everyone's eyes darted back and forth between Ning Fengzhi and "Xue Qinghe," curious about how this fierce competition would end.

Prince Xuexing's face was so gloomy it could drip water. He knew he was no longer able to participate in the competition and could only watch from the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, sat in his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly plotting something.

Xue Qinghe maintained a faint smile, seemingly unaffected by Ning Fengzhi's bid. He calmly raised his auction paddle again, his voice clearly echoing throughout the hall: "Nine million gold soul coins."

This price once again shocked everyone; nine million gold soul coins was an astronomical figure.

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned somewhat grim. He knew very well that with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's financial resources, they could still come up with nine million gold soul coins, but if the family needed gold soul coins, it would probably be difficult to make ends meet.

After all, this Light attribute soul bone is worth at most eight million gold soul coins. If the price is raised further, it will obviously result in a loss.

No matter what, this soul bone is 40,000 years old. If it were 100,000 years old, even 30 million years wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Raising the price now would carry enormous risks. But the allure of that Radiant Soul Bone was too great to easily relinquish. After much hesitation, he finally sighed helplessly and gave up on bidding.

"I'll offer ten million gold soul coins!"

Salas finally raised the price.

If he could absorb this soul bone, it would definitely help him break through his limitations and become a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level.

Salas's cultivation level has now reached level 86. Although he doesn't know if this soul bone can help him break through to level 90, he is unwilling to miss any opportunity to improve.

Salas is now well into his sixties, and if he doesn't break through to the Title Douluo realm, death will likely be his only fate.

That's why Salas longs to break through to the Title Douluo realm, because only then can he extend his lifespan.
