Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 197 It's just right, you can't miss it.

"Oh." Ye Qing simply nodded.

Unlike the shock shown by the others, Ye Qing exuded a slight salty smell as he lazily nestled into Zhang Lexuan's arms, resting his head on the soft pillow on her chest.

So what if you have over 100 million gold soul coins? In Douluo Continent, there are only a few truly valuable things.

Even if the last item auctioned was a 100,000-year-old soul bone, he would still have the same expression.

There are very few things that can interest him now. We'll have to see for ourselves to draw any conclusions. He won't tell us anything, so what's the point of just talking about its value?

Just wait and see.

The twenty-minute wait passed quickly. Anna turned off the lights in the private room, and the soul guide screen opposite Ye Qing lit up, showing Xu Jiujiu in a red dress.

With a dignified and elegant smile, she performed a courtly courtly gesture in front of the camera.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. I am Jiu Jiu, the auctioneer for this auction."

"Star Luo Palace etiquette?" Dai Yueheng leaned back strategically, looking somewhat surprised.

"Hmm?" Everyone else looked at Dai Yueheng.

Ye Qing rubbed his temples and couldn't help but complain, "Hey Lao Dai, you're the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, right? Why are you so surprised? Don't tell me you don't know Xu Jiujiu. If you dare say you don't know her, I'll punch you in the head."

It's hilarious! The son of the White Tiger Duke has to rely on the Starry Palace etiquette to verify his identity. This level of humor is no less than having to use a terrible navigation app to find your kitchen at home.

"Huh? She's Xu Jiujiu?" Dai Yueheng was stunned, scratching his hair awkwardly. "I really don't remember her. The last time I saw her was seven or eight years ago. Since I entered the academy, I haven't had much time to go home. And when I do go home, I don't stay for long. I really didn't recognize her at first glance."

This time, the clown mask floated back from Dai Yueheng's face to Ye Qing's face.

"No, shouldn't you be more familiar with each other? The Star Luo Empire doesn't have any princes. Your White Tiger Duke's Mansion is already the highest noble family under the Star Luo Empire's royal family. How come you haven't seen her for seven or eight years?" Ye Qing clicked his tongue.

Dai Yueheng simply sighed and didn't say anything more.

The relationship between the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Star Luo Royal Family is not exactly harmonious. The White Tiger Duke's lineage has always harbored some ambitions for that position, after all, they had to give it up under duress.

It's not impossible to say that they were forced to abdicate back then, so naturally, their lineage wants to become the master of the Star Luo Empire again.

The Xu family of Xingguan was also aware of the secret intentions of the White Tiger Duke's lineage, so it was normal for them to be wary of them both openly and secretly.

They may have been very familiar with each other when they were young, but as they grew up, their naturally opposing positions gradually led them to go their separate ways, until they took over the old and new grudges between the White Tiger lineage and the Star Crown lineage.

It's quite normal that we haven't seen Dai Yueheng for several years.

Ye Qing still wanted to complain. Even if he couldn't remember her appearance, he should at least remember her name. With the court etiquette of Xingluo Palace and the name Jiujiu, he should be able to remember her no matter what.

It seems...

Is there some secret between the White Tiger lineage and the Star Crown lineage that wasn't mentioned in the original work?

Ye Qing stroked his chin thoughtfully, and only came back to his senses after Xu Jiujiu finished his opening remarks and brought out the first item for auction.

This matter can be discussed later. After all, neither the White Tiger lineage nor the Star Crown lineage is a match for the Sun Moon Empire. Perhaps Dai Hao would have already been killed by the Sun Moon Empire without Ye Qing, the son-in-law, even taking action.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, an eighth-level close-range soul tool, produced by Mingde Hall, was made by an eighth-level soul master using a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone as the main body." Xu Jiujiu on the screen held a huge battle blade and spoke eloquently.

"Although the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone used to make the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade had flaws, under the guidance of that level eight soul master, the flaws of the soul bone were covered up by the core magic array, and the soul skill was solidified into the Tyrant Blade Slash. Using the core magic array to drive this soul skill even reduced the soul power consumption by one-third compared to using the soul bone to drive it."

Starting bid: 650,000 Gold Soul Coins; viewing time: 10 minutes.

……

After listening to the introduction of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, Ye Qing nodded in satisfaction.

That's the perfect opening line. An auction without the Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade is soulless; it's a hallmark of top-tier auctions and a must-try.

After hearing the introduction of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, Dai Yueheng was eager to buy it, but when he saw Ye Qing nod next to him, his heart sank. After all, Ye Qing was also a tiger-type soul master!

He tentatively asked, "Brother Ye, you've also taken a liking to this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade?"

Ye Qing immediately understood what Dai Yueheng was thinking. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can buy it if you want. I prefer guns and am not interested in knives."

Dai Yueheng breathed a sigh of relief. If Ye Qing insisted on buying it, he would really have no choice but to back down. Putting aside personal relationships, he was no match for Ye Qing in terms of financial resources.

In the end, Dai Yueheng bought the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade for 1.55 million gold soul coins, despite his pained expression.

The second item up for auction was not the twelve level-six fixed-position soul-guided cannons with different attributes from the original story, but a level-seven Eye of Fear.

This thing was also brought out by He Caitou in the second Soul Battle Tournament in the original work. It was a powerful offensive soul tool, but its weakness was that it was fragile. It was sprayed away by Yan Feng with a mouthful of Bone Dragon Salt Soda.

Although it was only level seven, it was more expensive than the level eight soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, and the final transaction price was more than two million.

The third item was also a soul tool, an eighth-level soul tool energy-gathering cannon. It was utterly useless, capable of unleashing a Super Douluo's attack, but its lifespan was only a few times. Moreover, it had many drawbacks, such as huge energy consumption and difficulty in recharging. The final transaction price was seven million gold soul coins.

It is capable of unleashing a Super Douluo-level attack, and although it has many flaws, it is still valuable.

The fourth item in the auction piqued Ye Qing's interest.

"The fourth item is a right arm soul bone from a 50,000-year-old Sunflower, which possesses both light and fire attributes. The starting bid is five million gold soul coins."

This soul bone could be used to fuse with the Light-Breaking Demon. That's how equipment is enhanced, it's just that the enhancement materials are a little expensive.

Ye Qing eventually bought the soul bone for 9.8 million.

Next came the fifth, sixth, and seventh auction items, all of which were soul bones over 50,000 years old, but their attributes were not what Ye Qing wanted, so he did not purchase them.

"The eighth item, could it be this one?" Ye Qing stared intently at the screen, waiting for the eighth item to appear.
