Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 204 I Want to Check the Cards

After a long time of pouring soul power into it, the stone lit up.

"What's wrong, Jiu Jiu?"

"Is there something you need?"

Xu Jiawei's voice was gentle, completely different from the stern demeanor he projected to outsiders.

Clearly, Xu Jiawei was quite surprised that Xu Jiujiu had suddenly contacted him late at night.

She usually goes directly to the palace for any matter. Xu Jiawei trusts and values ​​this younger sister very much.

It should be noted that even those who served him needed to submit a report before entering the palace to see him.

"Brother, um—"

In the next few minutes, Xu Jiujiu briefly explained the deal she made with Xu Yang, and that Xu Yang had proposed to buy Xue Di's embryo.

As for Xu Yang's identity, Xu Jiujiu also mentioned it briefly.

"I see."

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Let me talk to this distinguished guest in person."

As Xu Jiawei finished speaking, the light on the stone shone even brighter.

The starlight coalesced and eventually formed a human figure, which was none other than Xu Jiawei, who had spoken on the city wall at the start of the Soul Master Competition that day.

However, compared to that day, he had shed his magnificent imperial robes and was now dressed in casual clothes, but he was still very memorable.

He was in his thirties or forties, handsome, and upon closer inspection, his features bore a striking resemblance to his sister, Xu Jiujiu.

In addition, his long-term high position had cultivated an imperial aura, making him more in line with the public's perception of an emperor than the sickly Emperor Sun Moon in Xu Yang's memory.

"Your Majesty, I think you are aware of the general situation that just happened."

"The principle is the same; how you sell it and who you sell it to doesn't really make a difference, does it?"

Xu Yang said calmly. Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, and the star power around him continued to dissipate with his movements, making the surrounding environment quite beautiful.

Or rather, martial spirits related to celestial phenomena are generally quite good-looking.

The sun, the silver moon, and Ye Yulin's starry sky—once the Martial Soul True Form is unleashed, they are all visually stunning.

In particular, Zhang Lexuan's Martial Soul True Form, affected by the seventh Soul Ring, has transformed from the original Silver Moon True Form into the current Blood Moon True Form.

That Blood Moon Wolf King was considered a rather special mutant among the Silver Wolves.

Prior to this, the Sun Moon Empire had only made a few brief mentions of the Blood Moon Wolf Emperor in historical records, but the Blood Moon Wolf had appeared before, and more than once.

Xu Yang's mother once possessed a Blood Moon Wolf spirit ring, which was extremely powerful.

Whenever Zhang Lexuan unleashes her Blood Moon True Form, it adds a touch of allure and mystery to her appearance.

Even when doing *that*, Zhang Lexuan liked to secretly activate her Martial Soul True Body.

The reason left Xu Yang speechless. Who would have thought that Zhang Lexuan, who appeared aloof, actually liked that kind of thing in private?

Xu Jiawei spoke slowly, his pace neither hurried nor slow.

"You're right. After all, every stitch in the auction house can be sold; it's just a matter of price."

"If you're willing, you can easily empty my Starlight Auction House with gold soul coins, and I'll even help you with that."

"Let me tell you more about that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo."

"That was a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo with ice attributes, but we won't go into its specific origin for now."

"There's another thing I need to tell you all. We've researched a lot about the race of that soul beast, but—"

Nothing was gained.

"However, I can guarantee that the 100,000 years of cultivation of that soul beast embryo is genuine."

"In order to preserve that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, we specially used the level nine soul tool, the God Sealing Platform, to seal it."

"Therefore, if you want that embryo, you can only buy it along with that level-nine soul tool, the God Sealing Platform. Because once that thing is unsealed, given the nature of soul beasts, it is very likely that they will drag everyone present down with them."

"As for what you can obtain?"

"A 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone. Of course—if you're lucky enough, there's also a very high chance you can obtain a second ice-attribute martial soul."

Xu Jiawei spoke in a very seductive tone.

At this moment, he was more like a successful businesswoman or a saleswoman than a monarch.

Like a saleswoman at a counter, he spared no effort in promoting the products in his hands.

"In addition, we value this embryo at 200 million gold soul coins."

"Considering that you still have 75 million gold soul coins left to pay, and your status as a member of the Sun Moon Empire, we welcome the use of a high-grade soul tool for payment."

Xu Jiawei finally revealed his true colors. Compared to those adorable golden creatures, his real purpose had always been the high-level soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire.

"To show our sincerity, we can offer a high-grade soul tool worth eight million gold soul coins as a discount, at a price of ten million gold soul coins."

"So, when you pay with a soul tool, you actually only need a soul tool worth about 160 million gold soul coins."

"Based on the market price of a level nine soul tool, it is approximately—"

Xu Jiawei was interrupted by Xu Yang before he could finish speaking.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Your Majesty, isn't your price a bit too high?"

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, plus a level nine soul tool, and you dare to ask me for 200 million gold soul coins for this little thing?"

Five years ago, we all heard about that auction that caused a sensation across the entire continent.

"The average price of a 100,000-year soul bone is about 60 million gold soul coins. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also has corresponding records for the equivalent 100,000-year soul ring, which is usually calculated at half price, considering that 100,000-year soul beasts are relatively rare."

"So the embryo itself is worth at most one hundred million gold soul coins. As for that level nine soul tool, I think I am far more qualified than you to assess its value."

"125 million is the highest price I can offer, and it's also all the money I have on me."

"If you're really keen to talk, bring me that embryo, and I'll pay and leave right away."

Xu Yang adopted an attitude that indicated he wanted to verify the license plate.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but have the idea of ​​siding with outsiders.

She had a good impression of Xu Yang.

But her brother is bullying honest people here.

She couldn't stand it anymore.

She acquired this item for 100 million gold soul coins, which was also the starting price at the top auction in the following days.

Moreover, keeping a soul beast embryo in your hands is always a hot potato, as daily storage and care are quite costly.

As the saying goes, "It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you."

It's good that Xu Yang found out today; he has high moral standards and openly came to buy it. But what about the future?

Who knows, some Title Douluo might just come to the Night Talk Starlight Auction House or something. They might catch them once, but could they catch them twice or three times?

Xu Jiawei also noticed that his sister was subtly siding with outsiders, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
