Xiao Hongchen was almost going crazy.
Relying on his status, he mortgaged several top-grade ninth-level soul guides to the Xingluo royal family. He also exchanged the development rights of a rare metal mine for a full five hundred million gold soul coins to bid for this treasure.
It was not until the other party added 100 million to his limit in one breath and took out a total of 600 million chips that he finally felt powerless and had to withdraw from the auction sadly.
Seeing Xiao Hongchen finally giving up, the people of the Sun and Moon Team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Xiao Hongchen would get carried away and send the entire Mingde Hall in!
……
Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo looked at the six hundred million on the screen with a heavy and even somewhat ugly expression, and was unable to utter a word. Princess Jiujiu temporarily handed over the hosting of the auction to a Titled Douluo, and then walked into the room. If you look closely, you can see that there is a small white earplug in her right ear. She had been listening to the auction from time to time.
After closing the door, the brother and sister were the only two people left in VIP Room No. .
"Tell me, which force has disrupted our plans?" Emperor Xingluo asked Princess Jiujiu.
Princess Jiujiu also looked unhappy and said, "According to the registration information, they are from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."
Emperor Xingluo took a few deep breaths, "The situation has exceeded my expectations. The great-grandson of the Mingde Hall Master is the most outstanding genius in the history of the Sun Moon Empire. If he can complete the fusion with the embryo, it will definitely be even more powerful. He would not miss this opportunity. After all, in terms of financial strength, Mingde Hall is the undisputed number one in the continent. I wanted to send all the Mingde Hall products they used as collateral to the research institute immediately. I didn't expect that Jiubao Liuli Sect, such a fool with a lot of money, would jump out halfway!"
"Then..." Princess Jiujiu showed a trace of unwillingness in her eyes. No matter how much money there is, it is just money. Although 600 million is enough to support the empire to pay military salaries for many years, it cannot really make their empire quickly break through in the research of soul guides. She gritted her teeth and continued: "How about we raise the price ourselves, take back the embryo and then trade with Mingde Hall?"
The emperor closed his eyes tiredly. "It's too late. Since we took out this treasure, it is impossible to bring it back safely. It has attracted too many sects and forces. The current situation is no longer under our control. It is still unknown whether these fools from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can successfully bring the item back."
He seemed to be talking to himself, or venting, "This plan could have been perfect. Three months after the auction, we could have issued a mission to the Adventurer's Guild to seize the treasure of Mingde Hall. The mission amount was 100 million gold soul coins. No matter how talented the great-grandson of the Mingde Hall Master is, it is impossible for him to try to merge within ten years, and this is even if they use the most precious medicine to help him increase his physical strength. Ten years is enough time for many variables to appear."
Princess Jiujiu lowered her head sadly: "It's a pity that our originally perfect plan was completely disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Xu Jiawei's eyes dimmed. "If we have enough strength, why would I do this? According to our insider, Mingde Hall has made major breakthroughs in the research of soul guides. If we don't contain them, I'm afraid that within ten years, the Sun Moon Empire will make a big move. But we are far from ready."
Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but console him, "Brother, this is not your fault. We have tried very hard. It's just that in terms of developing soul guides, we don't have the natural advantages that the Sun-Moon Empire, which is rich in resources, has. Moreover, they had many years of research experience long before the Sun-Moon Continent collided with our Douluo Continent."
Emperor Xingluo waved his hands helplessly and said, "No reason can change reality. We can only work hard for reality. I will go to Shrek Academy in person in a while. If the Sun-Moon Empire really makes a big move, they will be the only ally we can count on. How do the other powerful competing sects react?"
Xu Jiujiu thought for a while and said, "All of them responded. Two of them showed clear intentions and sold us a lot of good things. Conservatively estimated, through this auction, we can directly earn more than 50 million gold soul coins. This money can buy a lot of good things in the Sun Moon Empire through our agents."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of Emperor Xingluo: "Try to make them create sparks."
"Yes!"
VIP Room No. 3.
"Asshole. Let me know who made the offer, and I'll kill him." In this VIP room, there were only two people from the Body Sect, both of whom looked to be in their forties. The speaker was tall, and the most peculiar thing was that his right arm was particularly strong, at least twice as thick as his left arm. The whole person actually exuded a bit of the aura of a primitive beast.
The other person was thin but had a very large head, looking a bit like a big-headed doll. His sparse hair was yellow, but his eyes were shining like a bright lamp when he opened and closed them.
"I think we will know who this is. If we can't get this thing back to Young Master Cao, at least we have to know where to get it back from."
As he spoke, the big-headed man narrowed his eyes slightly, and the air in the entire VIP room was distorted violently. It felt like a person in a trance seeing water-like ripples on a raging fire. Everything in the room seemed to become unreal. In each VIP room, there was an auctioneer and two maids responsible for reception. The three auction house staff were the first to be affected. After their whole bodies trembled, their eyes soon became confused and they stood there blankly without moving.
The big-headed man sat back on the sofa, waved to the woman who was also a black-level auctioneer, and said, "You, come here!"
The black-level female auctioneer quickly stepped forward and stood in front of him blankly.
"Go out and check for me the background of the person who just offered 600 million gold soul coins!" As he spoke, he was even a little angry.
"Yes, sir." The black-level female auctioneer actually agreed respectfully and turned away.
In addition to Huo Yuhao who possesses royal power and the power of the other gods, this big-headed man can also easily control the minds of several people without releasing his martial spirit. Even if they are just a few ordinary people, this is also a miraculous skill.
"Second brother, you are still the most powerful. Why don't we just control the people in this auction house and steal the things away." The man with thick arms whispered, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes. A series of "crackling" sounds burst out from his thick right arm. That was not the sound of bones, but caused by the change of airflow around the arm.
The big-headed man immediately shook his head: "No, this Starlight Auction House has the background of the Xingluo Empire's royal family, and how can such a top auction be without support? I can feel at least four powerful auras here, and four Titled Douluo are here, do you want to die? Unless the elders of the sect are here, we will definitely not get any good results. Don't worry, this 100,000-year soul beast embryo is not so easy to absorb. What if they take it? As long as they find the target, are you afraid that they can't get it back?"
Similar situations occurred in several VIP rooms at almost the same time, but their methods of obtaining information were different. With the subtle cooperation of the Starlight Auction House, how could the identity of the Ningtian Nine Treasures Glazed Sect in the VIP room remain secret?
The number of 600 million gold soul coins finally stopped. This astronomical figure was extremely terrifying to any force.
"What if they get it first?" In the VIP room No. 2, Xiao Hongchen snorted unwillingly and turned to Ma Lao and said, "Ma Lao, this treasure is absolutely a hot potato. Although the auction house can guarantee their safety during the handover, it is hard to say after the transaction is over. As long as they leave the auction house, I wonder if they have the ability to take the treasure away!"
Ma Lao nodded and said, "We should do so. Even if the person who bought the item keeps a low profile, it is rare in the history of the mainland to have an auction item worth hundreds of millions of yuan. It's not just us. I'm afraid there are many other forces eyeing it. They can't leave."
Xiao Hongchen smashed everything on the table to pieces, panting heavily, "When will my grandpa arrive?"
Ma Lao pondered for a moment and gave a clear answer, "Two days. With the empire's research breakthrough in the ninth-level flying soul guide, even if we bring a group of people, it will only take two days."
"Okay!" Xiao Hongchen suddenly revealed a cruel smile on his face, "The countdown of their lives only has these last two days!"
Return to VIP Room No. 1.
As His Majesty the Emperor Xingluo listened to the news one after another, the cruelty on his face became more and more intense.
"Six hundred million... Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Mingde Hall Master, and Body Sect... I hope you like this gift from me." After saying that, he slowly stood up, and the soul guide screen in front of him actually split to both sides, and the figure of the emperor of the empire disappeared in the secret corridor.
The secret passages in each VIP room were opened separately to allow the VIPs participating in the auction to leave secretly. Huo Yuhao and others were no exception.
However, none of the forces expected that Huo Yuhao and his six companions would escape into the Divine Power Space as soon as they exited this secret passage. At the same time, another group of men in black, wearing the attire of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, quickly ran away from another exit of the auction venue.
Looking at the Conferred God Platform in Huo Yuhao’s arms, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, while at the same time casting worried glances towards Ning Tian.
They will definitely be fine, but Ning Tian must register his identity as the successor of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect behind him will definitely not escape the disaster.
More importantly, in their daily training in the Sun-Moon Empire in the future, Ning Tian is very likely to reveal his Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial spirit, and be discovered by Xiao Hongchen and others as his identity as the young sect leader.
At the same time, spending 600 million in one go was like a dream even for Ning Tian, a wealthy woman who was as rich as a country. This amount had undoubtedly caused great damage to her sect.
As if he could see everyone’s anxiety, Huo Yuhao had already made arrangements for this.
"I sent a message to the Holy Spirit Church a few days ago, asking them to find someone to impersonate us and escort the Conferred God Platform away. Ning Tian, from today on, you must announce to the public that Young Sect Master Ning Tian is dead, and immediately change your name to Ning Tiantian."
“Ning... Tiantian?” Ning Tian’s brow was immediately filled with black lines on his forehead. Only Huo Yuhao, a bad namer, could come up with such a vulgar name for her.
"As for the six hundred million that your Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect lost at the Starlight Auction House, I promise you that not only will your martial soul evolve to the same level as that of your ancestor ten thousand years ago, but I will also give you several additional spirit rings, a hundred thousand year spirit ring!"
"what?"
As soon as Huo Yuhao said this, everyone else couldn't remain calm. How could a hundred thousand year spirit ring be obtained so easily? Among them, except Cui Yajie who obtained a hundred thousand year nine-tailed fairy fox spirit through artificial means, the highest spirit ring that others could obtain was Xie Huanyue's ten thousand year spirit ring.
If these six hundred million gold soul coins could be exchanged for several hundred thousand year soul rings and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, even if it cost one billion, her Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would be willing to do so!
Naturally, he would not worry too much about the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect behind Ning Tian. Even though this sect was at a disadvantage in high-end combat power due to its inherited martial spirit, the Nine-Colored Goddess who was still alive and well above them would give them full protection.
“Report this news to your sect later, and have them prepare defensive measures during this period.” Huo Yuhao patted Ning Tian’s shoulder. Looking at her shoulder-length hair that she had grown for her own preference, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “You really look better with long hair.”
Ning Tian's face turned red and she turned her head away. "You always said I was a tomboy before, but now I have nothing to say."
“It’s still the same now!” Huo Yuhao joked, “Isn’t her man’s wife a tomboy?”
“Get out! Who is your wife?” Ning Tian kicked him directly, and Huo Yuhao dodged with a smile. It was a pity that Ning Tian didn’t like to wear skirts at the moment, otherwise the kick would have been much more beautiful.
“Hahaha, I didn’t say which man it was!” Huo Yuhao laughed loudly, and with the help of the characteristics of the Divine Power Space, he led everyone back to the Star Emperor Hotel quickly.
The Snow Girl that readers have been longing for is now in our hands. Let the author see how to deal with her. Well, the competition is coming to an end, and the plot after the competition is about to unfold. Stay tuned!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 140 The Senior Sister Goes All In
Shrek's results at the auction today were not bad, including a Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife, a set of fixed-type soul guide shells, and the Heaven-shaking Cannon. Wang Yan didn't dare to put these things away by himself this time. Dai Yuheng paid for the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife, so he naturally took this rare eighth-level melee soul guide directly into his pocket. As for the set of sixth-level fixed-type soul guide shells and the Heaven-shaking Cannon, Wang Yan gave them directly to He Caitou. No one in Shrek knew more about soul guides than him, so it was best for him to keep and take the blame.
He Caitou carefully put away the twelve fixed-type soul guide shells and the world-shaking cannon. His dark face flushed with excitement. He did not notice the strange expression on Wang Yan's face when he put away the world-shaking cannon.
In He Caitou's opinion, even if the price of this soul guide cannon exceeds expectations, their soul guide system has a way to disassemble it and use it for research, which will undoubtedly allow the Shrek soul guide system to make further progress in the field of soul guide device research.
Ling Luochen returned to her residence at the Star Emperor Hotel alone early in the morning. She remembered what Huo Yuhao had said to her, and after making some simple preparations, she went to the rooftop of the hotel, waiting for the owner of the voice to arrive.
Just as Ling Luochen was lying alone on the railing on the rooftop, gazing at the night view of Xingluo City, a subtle spatial fluctuation came from behind her. She felt something in her heart and turned around quickly, only to see several young men and women who had appeared behind her at some point.
"You are..." Ling Luochen felt that the leader of the other party looked familiar. He quickly looked through the information about the other party in his mind, and finally stopped at the bounty order issued by the academy not long ago.
"Huo Yuhao?"
“Senior sister, you are really smart, but no one likes girls who are too smart.” Huo Yuhao clapped his hands. Although his words were frivolous, his eyes were clear, and he seemed not to be affected by the cold and beautiful face of the woman in front of him.
"I didn't expect it was you. Aren't you afraid that I will call Dean Yan and others to capture you on the spot?" Ling Luochen looked coldly at the young man in front of him, even ready for a fight.
“No, you won’t.” Huo Yuhao raised a finger and shook it at her. “Let’s not even talk about whether they have the ability to capture me. I’m afraid you yourself are a little disappointed with Shrek today, right?”
"What do you mean?" Ling Luochen's beautiful eyes narrowed, "What do you want to say? Are you trying to sow discord?"
"Looks like another idiot who was brainwashed by Shrek Glory." Xie Huanyue sneered at Ling Luochen's attitude. Ever since he was on the bounty list of Shrek Academy, he instantly lost all good feelings towards this hypocritical first academy on the continent.
"You think too highly of yourself, Senior Sister, for trying to sow discord?" Cui Yajie also chuckled, "What can you do alone? Is it worth Yuhao to win you over at all costs? Just relying on your rubbish control of ice element that is not even the ultimate ice?"
"You guys..." Ling Luochen instantly became furious and started to use his fifth soul skill.
“Okay, no need to anger her.” Huo Yuhao smiled and turned to look at Ling Luochen. “Senior sister, I came to you to discuss a business deal.”
"As you thought, the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone is indeed in my hand, but I can tell you that you have no chance of absorbing it."
"What do you mean? What do you want to express?" Ling Luochen frowned, as if he didn't understand what Huo Yuhao meant.
Huo Yuhao did not intend to hide it from her and introduced the pride of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan to her.
“If you want to lose your left arm instantly, I won’t stop you. Just absorb it and I’ll take it back when you’re done.” Huo Yuhao casually took out the box containing the Ice Jade Scorpion’s left arm bone from the storage soul guide and threw it directly to Ling Luochen.
Ling Luochen didn't dare to rashly take the thing thrown by Huo Yuhao, but dodged to the side.
The box fell to the ground and broke instantly, revealing the Ice Scorpion's left arm bone.
Ling Luochen's beautiful eyes were shocked. Wasn't this the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone that she had been thinking about? Huo Yuhao actually threw it to her so casually!
Ling Luochen quickly bent down and picked up the soul bone. The strong energy fluctuations on the soul bone directly proved everything and it could not be false.
“Come on, senior sister, I’ll give you a chance. Absorb it in front of me. I swear to your respected Lord Seagod that I will never regret it during the absorption process.” Huo Yuhao revealed an inexplicable smile, encouraging her, and did not forget to swear to the Buddha.
Seeing that the other party was so confident, Ling Luochen's mentality suddenly became a little confused. She realized that what the other party said was very likely true. The gods controlled the continent, and mortals who abused the gods will be punished by the gods. Even if the gods' realm was swept away by the turbulence of time and space, this law still existed.
This can be seen from the fact that during the Dragon King Legend period, Hades Halosa humiliated Tang Wulin's parents and suffered backlash.
Therefore, even though Huo Yuhao and his team planned a strategy to bring down the God King Tang San in the future, he also deliberately reminded them not to insult the so-called gods at will. This is the reason.
Ling Luochen held the coveted soul bone in his hand, and for a moment he was a little confused. If he really absorbed this soul bone rashly, it is really possible that his arm would be crippled on the spot.
If that happens, the rest of her life will be ruined. Having lost an arm, her strength will certainly drop drastically, and it is uncertain whether she can successfully graduate from the inner courtyard in the future.
"Tell me your conditions. Since I can't absorb this soul bone, I don't know what else there is to talk about between us." Ling Luochen suppressed his desire for this soul bone and let out a long breath.
"What if I say I can help you evolve your martial spirit into Ultimate Ice?"
Huo Yuhao's casual words instantly broke down all of Ling Luochen's psychological defenses. She definitely knew what the word "extreme" meant to her.
"What did you say?" Ling Luochen rushed towards Huo Yuhao like a madman, grabbed her collar, stared at him with her beautiful red eyes, and spoke word by word.
“You don’t believe it?” Huo Yuhao was not angry when she caught him. He turned to look at his companions and said, “Friends, activate your martial spirits!”
The next moment, as Xie Huanyue and the others had all completed their martial spirit possession, Ling Luochen was completely dumbfounded.
What's up with that giant flaming dragon? And why does that bird look a bit like the legendary Emerald Bird? Is there an eight-story Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in this world? What the hell is that snow-white monkey? Wait, is that nine-tailed fox as big as a hill real?
Ling Luochen was completely numb. How come these rare martial spirits that should only exist in ancient times appeared one after another? Are these people his companions? Did he help them evolve?
Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry at all, because these scenes would definitely be discovered by the masters stationed at the Star Emperor Hotel, so he had already disguised the rooftop with simulated soul skills. Even if a Titled Douluo flew by here, it would be impossible for him to see anything.
"You, you..." Ling Luochen sat down on the ground without any image, her face full of shock. She couldn't believe that all this was true.
“Now do you believe it? I helped my companions’ martial spirits evolve. If they continue to grow at this rate, within twenty years, they will at least become Ultimate Douluo of the Invincible Continent!” Huo Yuhao extended his hand to her, his relaxed smile the same as before.
"Can you really help me?" Ling Luochen felt that a great opportunity was right in front of her. If she couldn't satisfy the other party, she would most likely miss this only chance in her life.
“Of course.” Huo Yuhao grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"What do you want me to do for you? If you ask me to sign an indenture agreement that will bind your future like the Xingluo royal family did, I will definitely not agree..." By the end of his speech, Ling Luochen himself did not realize that his voice had become so faint as a mosquito.
A huge wave of emotion had already risen in her heart. If she could really evolve into the ultimate ice elementalist with the help of Huo Yuhao, even if she were to fight Dai Yueheng in a fair fight with her current level of cultivation, she would be 200% sure that she could kill him instantly.
This is the horror of the ultimate attribute!
“It’s very simple. When you return to the academy, I will notify you to help save someone.” Huo Yuhao kept extending his hand to her. “Also, I hope that after you graduate from Shrek Inner Court in the future, you will let go of your attachment to Shrek and leave in time.”
"That's it?" Ling Luochen looked at him in disbelief. It seemed that this condition was not difficult to meet? But who did he want to save? The evil soul master captured by the master of the Sea God Pavilion?
“I have spoken, and I will never go back on my word.” Huo Yuhao pointed at the huge nine-tailed fox behind Cui Yajie with his other hand. “Do you see that thing? It’s called a soul. I believe that in the near future, you will hear this term on the mainland.”
"Okay." Ling Luochen was not a pretentious person. He held his hand and stood up again. "I promise you."
"But how are you going to improve the quality of my martial spirit?"
“The hermit has a clever plan.” Huo Yuhao gestured to her to stay calm, and at the same time asked his companions to retract their martial spirits and souls.
Then, Huo Yuhao immediately blocked his sea of consciousness and carefully took out the Ice Jade Scorpion, which had cultivated for more than 50,000 years, from the depths of the Divine Power Space.
There was no other reason. If Bingdi saw this, he would definitely scold him. But for the sake of his future plans, he could only apologize to Bingdi first.
This is……
Ling Luochen stared at the beautiful scorpion that Huo Yuhao had caught from somewhere. She could clearly feel the chill coming from its body that was enough to suppress herself.
