Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Tiandou City

Blacksmiths Association.

"So, you've come to borrow money from me?" Zhenhua glanced at Gu You speechlessly.

"With your blacksmithing profession, why would you worry about money?"

"It's a long story..."

Gu You recounted some of the events.

"You kidnapped the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts from the Spirit Pagoda?" Zhenhua gasped.

"So, adding those rare ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that were absorbed, I now owe a debt that will take me hundreds of years to repay." Gu You lay flat on the sofa.

"I can't help you with the money you owe, but I can agree to lend you money now, for the Tiandou International Auction, right?"

"That's right, an international auction must have plenty of good stuff that suits me." Gu You chuckled.

"I'm going too, so it's perfect that you're coming with me," Zhenhua said.

"Alright, let's set off tomorrow!"

……

Tiandou City International Alliance

This is an international alliance, jointly created by the three remaining federal nations on the Douluo Continent. It includes many projects, such as various resources, commerce, and trade.

Two Soul Douluos accompanied Zhenhua, which shows the high status of the Divine Craftsman; he needed someone to protect him.

From the outside, the entire auction venue appears very large, divided into several auction halls, each capable of seating over a hundred people. There are a total of sixteen auction halls, accommodating over 1,600 people.

This includes talented individuals from all walks of life, all of whom hold prominent positions.

At the same time, there are no restrictions on entry to this auction; as long as you feel you have sufficient financial resources, you can participate.

It's still divided into zones, but the difference is that you watch the auction on a screen outside, while people inside sit and participate in the auction.

If Gu You hadn't sought out Zhenhua, he might have been stuck outside doing nothing.

Upon entering the auction hall, a five-meter-wide staircase covered with a red carpet led downwards, with no staff members outside to guide visitors.

They continued downwards for about twenty meters before reaching the registration area. Zhenhua had already completed the tedious procedures, handing each person a number plate. Only with the number plate could a girl in a blue dress lead them inside.

Passing through a quaint wooden door, the scene abruptly changed, and all that could be seen was a dazzling expanse of gold. A wide passageway was resplendent in gold, its luxurious decoration even surpassing that of the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda.

The passageway was over ten meters wide, paved with precious ivory-white jade bricks. Every ten meters on either side stood a pair of pillars of the same material, carved with exquisite patterns. The walls, however, appeared to be covered in gold leaf, their intricate and ornate carvings striking the eye. Gu You, with his extraordinary spiritual power, observed it briefly and was immediately astonished by its level of detail. This was merely for decorative purposes!

At the top of the passageway, magnificent crystal chandeliers hung down, yet there was no sense of oppression, for the passageway was a full five meters high. The light was a soft, bright yellow, and against the backdrop of the golden walls on both sides, the three-dimensional golden world was enough to dazzle anyone.

The hostess led us through another door. This wasn't the end of the passageway. There were similar doors ahead. In the far distance, stairs stretched downwards, their destination unknown.

As the view suddenly opened up, the hostess respectfully said, "Distinguished guests, this is auction room number sixteen, which can accommodate one hundred and eight people. Please wait, the auction items will soon be presented to you on the Soul Guidance Screen."

Upon entering Auction Hall No. 16, the light dimmed immediately, as only the surrounding walls were illuminated by wall lamps. Everyone entering the auction hall received a beautiful mask.

Gu You and Zhenhua each took one.

The interior of the auction hall evoked a completely different feeling—rustic, elegant, and luxurious yet warm. Just stepping inside created a comfortable atmosphere. Two hundred large, comfortable chairs, upholstered in deep blue velvet, formed a curved perimeter.

"Sit down," Zhenhua said softly.

Following Zhenhua's gaze, Gu You found his seat.

At this point, about 60-70% of the bidders had already entered the auction hall.

Until the lights in the entire auction hall suddenly went out.

"Welcome to this international auction. It was jointly organized by us and the Star Luo Federation and the Heaven Dou Empire, and the items for auction come from all over the world."

"The auction will begin shortly. Please take your seats and wait."

It was a very pleasant female voice, coming from all directions. After she finished speaking, the lights in the entire auction hall came on again.

A woman in a long red dress walked onto the stage from one side of the auction hall. She looked to be around thirty years old and had a dignified and beautiful appearance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are today's auction items. We are only showing today's items. Tomorrow's items will only be available tomorrow. In addition, there will be a mystery item at the end of each day's auction, which will be revealed at the very last moment."

The sound from the amplified soul guide device resounded throughout the entire venue.

"Is there anything you want?" Zhenhua asked Gu You, who was standing to the side.

At this moment, Gu You felt dazzled by the sheer number of items up for auction, including some priceless treasures.

However, his attention quickly focused, and under the absolute mental observation, a few words on the auction items on the soul guide screen not far in front of him caught his eye.

Special type of dragon blood.

The image shows two bottles, one containing a golden liquid and the other a black liquid. Strangely, a slight vortex is swirling beneath the liquid in each bottle.

"I want this!" Gu You pointed to the screen without hesitation. He already knew what was in the bottle: the blood of the Light Holy Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon. He had some soul beasts in his mind that lacked qualitative change and needed a catalyst, and these two kinds of blood were the most suitable catalysts. Moreover, he could also absorb some of the light and dark auras.

"I understand." Zhenhua didn't ask Gu You why he wanted dragon blood.

The viewing time for the auction items has ended, and the auction begins!

"Please invite the staff to present the first item for auction."

Two staff members dressed in purple suits slowly walked in. They were both carrying a veil, seemingly concealing something.

When they reached the center of the auction stage, the two stopped and simultaneously lifted the cover.

A blinding purple light instantly filled the entire venue.

Wow!

The audience erupted in gasps.

A soul bone! It's actually a soul bone!

The auctioneer on stage smiled tactfully, "You've all guessed correctly. This is a soul bone, and a rare head soul bone at that, suitable for spirit-type soul masters. But I must tell you that this soul bone is only six hundred years old."

Huh?

Gu You raised an eyebrow slightly. A six-hundred-year-old soul beast can drop a soul bone? The drop rate is that high? Are any of the soul masters who killed that soul beast and got soul bones still around...?
