Douluo: The Op-Op Fruit, skilled at researching them

Chapter 68: Dugu Bo

Since obtaining the complete herbal encyclopedia of the Broken Clan, Luo has become intimately familiar with the appearance and effects of all kinds of basic herbs and even all immortal herbs. He is just waiting to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and plunder all the herbs inside.

If we can win this "Ruyi Treasure Pouch" at auction here, it will definitely be a great help to Luo, allowing him to take all the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

With this in mind, Luo made up his mind to acquire this soul tool at this auction.

Soon, the auction began, and the first item to be auctioned was a fox girl with a martial spirit.

The so-called "spirit transformation" basically only occurs in the body of the beast spirit owner. It refers to the appearance of the animal characteristics of the awakened beast spirit on the body during the process of awakening the beast spirit.

For example, "Martial Soul Transformation" for those with a cat-themed martial soul means growing animal features such as cat ears, a cat tail, and cat paws, transforming into a "cat-person".

Xueke initially felt sorry for the catwoman's plight and wanted to bid to buy her.

However, Luo didn't need to carry a burden with him; his eyes were only on the "Ruyi Treasure Pouch," so Xueke had no choice but to give up.

Soon, the catwoman was auctioned off to a nobleman for 103,000 gold soul coins.

The second item up for auction is the Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Snow Lotus, a very high-grade ice-attribute herb that can greatly help ice-attribute martial soul owners cultivate their soul power.

After a fierce bidding war, the thousand-year-old Xuanbing Snow Lotus was sold to a teacher from Tianshui Academy for 315,000 gold soul coins.

Luo naturally didn't know the name of this teacher from Tianshui Academy, but Xue Ke did know that his surname was Shui and that he had a very famous little daughter who was a natural-born full-soul power user named Shui Bing'er. Her awakened martial soul was the Ice Phoenix, one of the top martial souls.

As various rare treasures were auctioned off at high prices, the atmosphere at the auction became increasingly heated. Every Soul Master waved their arms high, fiercely competing for the items that appealed to them.

When it was Luo's turn to bring out the whale glue set, he was very tempted, but after hesitating for a while, he ultimately did not bid.

He was afraid that if he bought this set of whale glue, he wouldn't have enough money left to compete for the "Auspicious Treasure Pouch".

While whale glue is indeed excellent, it is still not as important as the "Ruyi Treasure Pouch," since Luo's immediate priority is to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to obtain the immortal herbs.

However, just as an elderly nobleman was preparing to bid 430,000 gold soul coins for the whale glue set, a voice that Luo had heard before suddenly rang out.

"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

Because of Xue Ke's status as the Heavenly Dou Princess, the two of them were in a private room above the auction house, instead of sitting and competing with other ordinary Soul Masters below.

However, Luo could tell that the voice belonged to someone else, just like his own, and was coming from a nearby private room.

Suddenly, a thought struck Luo, and he recognized who the voice belonged to.

Just then, the auction's final highlight—the "Auspicious Treasure Pouch"—was brought to the stage for bidding.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the soul tool was driven up to a terrifying price of one million gold soul coins by everyone present, and the competition showed no signs of abating.

At this moment, Luo also joined the competition for the "Ruyi Treasure Pouch", and each bid was 100,000 gold soul coins, increasing by 100,000 gold soul coins each time, showing a determination to win.

His determined look at acquiring the soul tool startled Xue Ke, who instinctively gripped Luo's arm tightly.

She wasn't worried that Luo would spend all the gold coins in her supplementary gold card, but rather that she didn't have enough money on her, and wouldn't be able to bid on the item Luo wanted.

Xueke could tell that Luo cared a lot about this "Ruyi Treasure Pouch" and was determined to get it immediately.

Although she didn't understand why Luo, who already had one storage soul tool, wanted to bid on another, she knew that whatever Luo did was definitely right!

"At worst, I'll ask my brother for another two million gold soul coins for Luo Hua! I'm determined to make sure Luo buys something that will satisfy him today!" Xue Ke thought to herself.

Just as Xue Ke was lost in thought, the price of this "Ruyi Treasure Pouch" had already been pushed to a terrifying four million gold soul coins.

At this point in the bidding, besides Luo's continued refusal to budge, there was also an elderly man with a rather hoarse and sinister voice who was fiercely competing with Luo.

In addition to his own savings of three million gold soul coins, Luo also has two million gold soul coins from Xue Ke, so the maximum price he can afford is five million gold soul coins.

Just as Luo raised the price to "4.5 million gold soul coins" again, the old man who had been competing with him suddenly fell silent, probably because he had exceeded his limit.

The next second, a terrifying pressure of soul power descended upon the entire auction house, and a phantom of a large emerald snake seemed to appear in front of Luo.

At this moment, the serpent's phantom was staring at him face to face, its pair of ferocious and terrifying vertical pupils radiating a chilling and menacing power, staring intently into Luo's eyes, and pressing him firmly to the spot.

"Ignorant brat! I have tolerated you time and again, yet you persist in pressuring me, insisting that I forcibly seize this 'Auspicious Treasure Pouch'?"

The latest novel is first published here!

The owner of the voice seemed to possess some secret technique to amplify sound; his hoarse and terrifying voice resounded throughout the entire auction house.

After a brief pause, the owner of the voice finally revealed his true identity.

"My surname is 'Dugu,' my given name is 'Bo,' and my title is 'Poison'! I've taken a liking to this 'Ruyi Treasure Pouch' today. Who dares to object?"

Before he could finish speaking, a faint yet crystal-clear sword cry rang in Luo's ears.

In an instant, the giant serpent phantom that had appeared before Luo and was suppressing his body was cleaved in two by a sharp sword light.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's calm and serene voice appeared above everyone present.

"Old Poison Master, you're really getting worse with age! You actually lower yourself to argue with a junior! Others may fear your formidable reputation as Poison Douluo, but I, Chen Xin, have no fear!"

Then, Ning Fengzhi's voice appeared again.

"Excuse me, Senior Dugu, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has taken a liking to this 'Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch.' This junior, Ning Fengzhi, offers five million gold soul coins! The highest bidder wins. Senior, you are too kind!"

"After the auction concludes, I would be honored if Senior Dugu would linger here so that I may personally apologize and present a small gift. I hope Senior Dugu will do me the honor!"
