Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 250 Junior Brother, you can't buy this carving knife!

As evening fell, the auction began, and the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy arrived at the entrance of the Starlight Auction House.

After everyone put on masks and entered the Starlight Auction House, Qian Renxue sensed a familiar aura.

She glanced towards a corner of the hall and saw Coco Nair and the made-up Bone Dragon Douluo leaving with a staff member.

It seems that their own chamber of commerce has also received an invitation. This is not surprising, as everyone in Xingluo City knows about the Chanel Chamber of Commerce now.

In the shadows of the Starlight Auction House, Princess Xu Jiujiu saw the Shrek Academy people arrive and whispered to the person beside her, "Qingya, you are in charge of Shrek Academy's private room."

"Yes, Auctioneer Jiu Jiu." Qing Ya bowed slightly, turned and left. It was she who had delivered the invitation to Shrek Academy earlier.

Qian Renxue and her group entered VIP Room No. 2, where several maids and an auctioneer were waiting for them. The auctioneer was the same one who had sent them the invitation earlier, and her name was Qingli.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Starlight Auction House. I am Auctioneer Qingli."

Old Ma nodded to her, and then everyone took their seats according to Qingli's arrangement.

On one of the huge walls inside, there was a soul-guided light screen that looked very similar to the one CocoNair used to project outdoor movies.

"It's been twenty years since I've been here. The Star Luo Empire's royal family has this kind of soul guidance technology now," Old Ma said seemingly casually.

The elegant auctioneer bowed slightly: "Please excuse my rudeness. This soul-guided light screen was custom-made for our auction house from the Sun Moon Empire."

What the heck?

Qian Renxue couldn't help but find this a little amusing. Coco Nair could casually produce three soul-guided light screens; here, they had to be custom-made in the Sun Moon Empire?

"Indeed, this kind of soul-guided light screen can only be activated by a type of ore unique to the Sun Moon Empire," Xiao Hongchen said, seemingly unintentionally.

The reason Xiao Hongchen mentioned is also one of the reasons why the Star Luo Empire believes that Coco Nair comes from the Sun Moon Empire.

Qian Renxue's heart sank. Coco Nair had also come to the Starlight Auction House. Would she be in danger?

"Beautiful auctioneer, where is the restroom?"

The elegant auctioneer quickly stood up: "Miss, over here."

Qian Renxue went into the restroom and, without saying a word, immediately made a soul communication call to Bone Dragon Douluo, hoping he would be available to answer.

"Young Master." The voice of Bone Dragon Douluo came.

"Safety?"

"Please give your instructions."

"Protect the president well, and leave four to five days before the competition ends," Qian Renxue said succinctly.

"Understood." Bone Dragon Douluo instantly understood Qian Renxue's meaning.

Although the final day's competition could be made into a video bead, which would definitely fetch more money, Coco's identity is special, and we can't take that risk.

"I'm in VIP room number two."

"Number six, the turtle is in number seven."

Qian Renxue hung up the call.

When Qian Renxue returned, the auction had just begun, and a girl in a red dress, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, appeared on the soul guide screen.

"Distinguished guests, I am your auctioneer, Jiu Jiu, and it is my honor to host this top-level auction. Your time is precious, so let's begin the auction. Now, please take a look at today's first lot."

"Jiujiu?" Qian Renxue thought to herself. This seemed to be the eldest princess of the Star Luo Empire mentioned in the intelligence report, who had appeared on the battlefield at the border before.

The first item auctioned was the level-eight soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. The Sun Moon group had no interest in this thing. Xiao Hongchen knew that the traitor of Mingde Hall had been caught, and all the information he left behind was kept by Jing Hongchen.

However, they still casually echoed a few times and raised the price slightly.

"One million eight hundred thousand," Qian Renxue said casually.

The elegant auctioneer frowned, but still dutifully raised the price. Dai Yueheng from Shrek Academy's side hardened his expression: "Who dares to try and snatch this soul tool from me?!"

The elegant auctioneer in VIP room number seven quickly said, "Young Master Dai, the final price we estimate for this soul tool is around 1.3 million. Please don't act impulsively."

Dai Yueheng frowned: "No, it's not easy to come across something as good as this that can fuse with a soul bone. I can't miss it."

"Two million!"

A subtle smile flickered in the auctioneer's eyes. They were indeed there to deliver something to Shrek Academy, but after much instruction, they were to discreetly make Shrek Academy, especially the White Tiger lineage, spend a little more money.

"Someone's really gotten carried away," Xiao Hongchen said dismissively. He could naturally see the value of this soul tool.

In the end, Dai Yueheng bought the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade for two million.

Next up for sale are fixed-load soul-guided shells.

"Isn't this my house?" Xiao Hongchen asked疑惑地, "How did it end up in the Star Luo Empire?"

Old Ma's expression was gloomy: "It probably came with that level-eight soul tool from before. It's also possible that they captured it on the battlefield. With those useless soul masters from the Star Luo Empire, it would probably take them another thirty years to break through the encryption array on these missiles."

Xiao Hongchen scoffed: "These fixed-mount soul-guided shells can be fired from a level six turret at most. Only these idiots would take so long to research them."

Upon hearing the words of these people from the Sun and Moon Empire, the elegant auctioneer's expression changed.

"Do you want to recycle them?" Qian Renxue asked Xiao Hongchen.

"No need, I can make this myself." Xiao Hongchen waved his hand casually. "Just buy it for them to play with at their leisure, as long as they don't blow themselves up."

Finally, after the price of these fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells was inflated several times, they were finally bought by Shrek Academy for 1.5 million.

After several more soul tools and soul bones were auctioned off, a tray covered with a red cloth appeared next to Xu Jiujiu.

The moment the red cloth was lifted, even through the soul guide screen, everyone felt a sharp aura.

Many bidders sighed in dissatisfaction, clearly not finding the mysterious gift particularly surprising. However, a few people's pupils contracted rapidly; the appearance of this item had shocked them.

Qian Renxue was one of them.

"This carving knife..." Tong Tingting pondered for a moment, "Xiaoxue, it is the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, ranked ninety-ninth among the listed carving knives."

Qian Renxue had also heard this story; it was Teacher Tong Tingting who mentioned it to her. It seemed that the carving knife contained the remnant soul of an evil spirit master. If the owner of the carving knife were a spirit master of the light attribute, perhaps she wouldn't have suffered a backlash.

"The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife starts at 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, with each bid increasing by at least 5,000 Gold Soul Coins. Distinguished guests, you may now begin the bidding," Qingya said with a smile.

"Instructor, do you want this carving knife?" Xiao Hongchen asked.

Qian Renxue nodded without offering further explanation, because besides her own people, the auctioneer was also present, and she didn't want her secret of possessing the Light attribute to be exposed.

"Alright." Xiao Hongchen nodded. "I'll buy this carving knife and give it to you as a gift. Consider it a small reward for your previous training."

The elegant auctioneer secretly noted down those words. It seemed that this little girl with golden hair held a very high position in the Sun Moon Empire's team.

The key point is that the voice she just spoke didn't sound very loud; she must have been around thirteen or fourteen years old.

It seems we need to find a way to get this news to His Majesty.

Because the carving knife was auctioned via screen projection, Electrolux did not directly sense the life-gold aura contained within it. He simply told Qian Renxue that buying it was fine, and that if anyone in the world could control this carving knife, it would definitely be Qian Renxue.

Meanwhile, He Caitou said seriously to Huo Yuhao, who was struggling on the sofa, "Junior Brother, you can't buy this."

Thank you all for your support and for reading! I'd really appreciate some recommendation votes and monthly tickets!

In addition, these fixed-mount soul-guided shells... you can guess what they're used for.
