I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Thirty million gold soul coins scared off many people who were trying to buy the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. You should know that thirty million gold soul coins is a fortune that is enough to buy a medium-sized city!

Those are gold soul coins, not silver or bronze soul coins. One gold soul coin has the purchasing power to buy 150 loaves of bread. Even for a country, it would be extremely difficult to come up with that much money.

But what they wanted to buy was just a soul bone. Who could be so wealthy?

Meanwhile, in a lounge prepared for guests at an auction house, a blue-haired little girl looked at a silver-haired woman and said, "Sister Nana, is this soul bone so expensive? Does it cost so much money to buy?"

The silver-haired woman calmly replied, "I'm simply too lazy to compete with others, so I'm just going to crush them with my money. Anyway, I don't think anyone will bid this price. We in the Spirit Pagoda have plenty of money; buying an Ice Explosion Soul Bone at this price isn't a loss."

The silver-haired woman is Gu Yuena, and the blue-haired little girl sitting next to her is Bai Xiuxiu.

Today, she was also invited by Starlight Auction House to participate in this top-level auction.

Gu Yuena originally wanted to attend the auction with Xu Xingyu, but Xu Xingyu said that she would be attending the auction with Shrek's group, which made Gu Yuena unusually unhappy.

However, she could understand why Xu Xingyu did this, since this was Shrek's team building activity, so it was best to participate if possible.

Therefore, Gu Yuena could only take Bai Xiuxiu with her to learn a little about the human world's concept of money. Although she herself had little knowledge in this area, it was better than nothing, right?

Gu Yuena bought the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone on Xu Xingyu's instructions.

The reason Xu Xingyu didn't reveal the flaws in the soul bone as in the original novel and then ask the other party to give it to them for free is because he personally felt that such behavior was somewhat morally coercive.

Even if there's something wrong with this thing, that's no reason to give it to them for free, right? Besides, considering his personal relationship with the Star Luo Empire, he still feels a bit embarrassed to rip them off.

So he had Gu Yuena buy it at the price it was ultimately auctioned off in the original story, since the final item auctioned by their Spirit Tower would be enough for Xu Xingyu to recoup her investment.

After Gu Yuena bid 30 million gold soul coins, all other competitors eventually gave up on the auction, so the soul bone ultimately fell into Gu Yuena's hands.

Back at Shrek, while everyone was still marveling at who was so wealthy, the introduction of the last item to be auctioned was about to begin.

Seeing this, and under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Wang Yan's expression turned serious. It seemed that the main event was finally about to begin.

"Next up is today's final auction item."

The screen turned golden again, and as the golden light gradually faded, Princess Jiu Jiu reappeared on the screen, now wearing a long golden dress.

Her fair skin, accentuated by the magnificent gold palace gown, exuded a dignified and elegant beauty. The well-fitting cut perfectly outlined her captivating curves.

As Qingya has already mentioned, wearing a gold auction outfit means that the final transaction price of the next item may exceed 100 million gold soul coins.

Even though the items up for auction were still unknown, Princess Jiujiu's mere change of clothes had everyone on edge. As a top-tier auctioneer, this princess truly knows how to manipulate people!

"Distinguished guests, you can probably tell from Jiu Jiu's attire just how precious our final lot will be today. To be honest, this is the only piece I've ever seen in my life. In my opinion, its value is beyond measure in monetary terms."

Princess Jiujiu, now dressed in a golden gown, showed a subtle change in her voice. Unlike the previous alluring tone, her voice now carried a sense of solemnity. Her expression also became serious, and with just a few words, her sincerity was palpable, making one involuntarily believe every word she spoke.

"I won't reveal the name of this item yet; instead, I'd like to introduce its significance to our distinguished guests. The previous ice-jade scorpion left arm bone was already extremely rare and precious. But I dare say that the value of this final item today shouldn't even be measured in monetary terms."

"I think quite a few people can recognize the device in front of them, right?" As she spoke, Princess Jiujiu gestured with her right hand, and the Soul Guidance Screen immediately changed, with a transparent metal sphere appearing on the screen, containing an orange-gold ring.

"This is a special container used by the Spirit Tower to store souls, called a Soul Pouch, and the souls contained inside are the last item to be auctioned in this auction."

"Distinguished guests must be curious as to why the Spirit Tower is selling a soul spirit at auction. Is there anything special about this soul spirit? When I first saw it, I couldn't tell what was special about it either. It wasn't until the people from the Spirit Tower explained it to us that I realized what kind of treasure it was. You are all fortunate to see it today. As the auctioneer, it may be a bit disrespectful to say this, but I can't think of any other way to describe its preciousness and rarity."

"As you all know, in the world of soul beasts, there exists a situation where a soul beast, after cultivating for 100,000 years, has a choice: continue cultivating or transform into a human and continue cultivating. If it chooses to continue cultivating, it must rely on its powerful talent to challenge a bottleneck that could potentially destroy its soul. Once it breaks through the bottleneck and enters a cultivation period between 100,000 and 200,000 years, we call it a super soul beast, also known as a ferocious beast. Among super soul beasts, the ten most powerful ones that we humans currently know are called the Ten Ferocious Beasts. It can be said that they are the pinnacle of existence among soul beasts."

"After all this talk, you might be thinking, 'I already know all this! Why would I need to remind you?' But I must tell you, this isn't just idle talk. What I'm saying is directly related to our final auction item today. Because the orange-gold spirit ring you see before you is a ferocious beast-level spirit! It's a super spirit beast with a cultivation level of two hundred thousand years! Such a sight, let alone you, I dare say, is something that probably very few people in the entire Douluo Continent have ever seen."

Upon hearing Jiu Jiu's words, the entire room fell silent, and everyone, including Wang Yan, looked horrified.
