Eight thousand years old whale glue can be described as a top-grade medicine, and its effect is comparable to that of top-grade elixirs.
Those who can participate in the auction are either soul masters or nobles, and this whale glue is useful for both groups of people. Soul masters can use it to improve their physical strength, and nobles can use it to increase sexual interest.
"The first item for auction: eight thousand years old whale glue. The starting price is fifty thousand gold soul coins. Each increase in price must not be less than five hundred gold soul coins. Everyone, please!" The auction hammer was tapped lightly for a long time, and then a large number of bids were rang out.
"Fifty-one thousand!"
"Fifty-five thousand!"
"I'll pay 60,000!"
"Eighty thousand!"
……
The starting price of fifty thousand does not mean that it is worth fifty thousand. As people continued to bid, the price of whale glue soon broke through six figures. But after reaching six figures, the frequency of bids also slowed down, and finally it was bought by a soul master for one hundred and sixty thousand.
Each of the following auction items will be sought after by ordinary soul masters.
Spiritual medicines, soul guides, soul guide manufacturing drawings, rare metals, and even a two thousand year old soul bone.
The competition for this soul bone is particularly fierce. Even though it is only a soul bone of a low-level soul beast, the Wind Wolf, it is a treasure that most soul masters will never be able to obtain in their lifetime.
Finally, this soul bone was bought by a soul master at the Soul Emperor level for 480,000 gold soul coins.
“I believe you all know that when soul engineers want to make soul guides, a good carving knife is their inseparable partner. Having a good carving knife can greatly increase their success rate when making soul guides. Among the many carving knives, there are also one hundred carving knives, each with different effects, which are sought after by soul engineers. They are the ranking carving knives.” Xu Jiujiu said with a smile.
"Of course, I believe everyone here has heard this information, but I am not saying this to attract attention, because our next lot is a ranking engraving knife!"
As soon as Xu Jiujiu said this, the entire auction hall went into an uproar.
Ye Qing, who had been lacking interest all the time, suddenly sat up straight, stared at the person talking at the booth for a long time, and his heartbeat began to speed up.
Is it coming!
Chapter 66: I have begged for mercy, and I got the Soul Eater (Please order first!)
List carving knife!
There is no illiterate person who can participate in the black-level auction. Everyone knows what the four words "list engraving knife" mean!
Many people looked at it eagerly for a long time, and could hardly wait to start fighting for the knife that would be used to carve the list.
But there were also quite a few people who, after listening to Xu Jiujiu's words, sat back in their chairs and watched the show calmly. They had all participated in the auction before, so they naturally knew which ranking engraving knife was preserved by the Starlight Auction House.
Basically whoever holds that cursed carving knife will die, otherwise it wouldn't have failed to sell for three times in a row. Only this group of young people who have never seen the world would be so excited, but they would behave themselves when they saw the evil knife that devours souls.
Hahaha.
After a long time, a maid pushed out a small cart from the side passage. On the cart was a box covered with red cloth.
Xu Jiujiu looked at the Soul Devouring Knife covered by the red cloth, his eyes flashing with a complicated expression, and continued to introduce: "Yes, this is a ranking knife, but our Starlight Auction House adheres to the principle of treating people with sincerity and will not conceal anything about the auction items. Although it is a ranking knife, it is an ominous knife."
She reached out and lifted the red cloth, revealing the box that could isolate the Soul-Devouring Knife. She then opened it, revealing a strange knife that was dark green in color with a large number of gray and black lines all over the body.
Looking closely, the gray-black lines are clearly hideous ghost faces, which look extremely terrifying.
At this time, someone who knew the business finally reacted and pointed at the Soul Devouring Knife and exclaimed: "The evil knife devours souls!"
"What?! It's actually this cursed blade?"
"Oh my god, this thing has killed dozens of people, is there really a stubborn person who would buy it?"
"I won't buy it anymore. I'm begging you to let me go!"
……
Listening to the constant noise in the auction hall, Xu Jiujiu shook her head helplessly. She finally saw directly how terrifying this carving knife was. There was a reason why it failed to be sold three times in a row.
But the item has already been taken out, so the auction process still has to go through.
"That's right. This engraving knife on the list is the murderous knife Soul Devouring, which ranks 99th on the engraving knife ranking list. Since it was created by an evil soul master Titled Douluo thousands of years ago, it has had a total of thirty-seven owners. These thirty-seven owners either died from the backlash of the engraving knife or degenerated into evil soul masters." Xu Jiujiu said softly. When she was introducing this Soul Devouring engraving knife, she even felt a chill on her back.
And she just stood next to the Soul-Devouring Knife without using it.
'Forget it, I'll just put it deep in the treasury after it fails to sell this time.' Xu Jiujiu thought secretly, and then tapped the auction hammer lightly, "The starting price of the Soul Devouring Blade is 200,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must not be less than 2,000 gold soul coins. Please bid!"
A silence.
No one quoted.
Knowing that whoever takes this thing will die, who would be tired of living and buy it, and spend money to bring an ancestor home to worship it?
Time passed by little by little, and still no one made an offer, which was already expected for a long time. Now looking back, she was indeed quite stubborn before. She also thought so herself and actually thought that she could sell this carving knife.
Xu Jiujiu also became obedient.
"If no one bids, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife will be declared unsold!" The voice echoed in the auction hall for a long time, but no one spoke.
No, there was a handsome guy in the crowd holding up a quotation sign!
"Two hundred thousand!"
The handsome guy always appears last!
Ye Qing smiled, looked at Xu Jiujiu who was looking at him at the booth, and nodded slightly.
He really didn't expect that his luck would be so good. He originally thought that this trip to Xingluo City would be in vain, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events and the Soul-Devouring Knife actually appeared!
When Xu Jiujiu said the four words "list carving knife", Ye Qing's heart almost jumped out, and the expectations in his heart reached the extreme.
It was not until the red cloth was lifted after a long time, revealing the true form of the Soul-Devouring Knife, that Ye Qing felt relieved.
Because this carving knife is bound to fail to sell at this auction, as long as he bids, it will definitely be his!
After looking at Ye Qing's face for a long time, which looked particularly cold even with a smile, his heart trembled violently.
Of course she recognized Ye Qing's face.
Instinctively, Xu Jiujiu wanted to speak out to stop Ye Qing from buying the carving knife. She didn't want to see this person, whom she had only met once because of barbecue, fall into the abyss because of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
"Dear guest, are you sure? This Soul-Devouring Knife is extremely dangerous and not something that ordinary people can wield." After hesitating for a while, Xu Jiujiu decided to give a reminder.
Ye Qing chuckled and replied: "It doesn't matter, I'm not an ordinary person either."
Originally, Ye Qing's bid attracted the attention of some people. They thought that this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife might have something fishy about it and wanted to compete with Ye Qing for the price. However, after listening to the conversation between Ye Qing and Xu Jiujiu, they made a direct judgment.
At first glance, I determined that he was an idiot.
"Hehe, you conceited young man! When you are bitten back by the Soul-Devouring Knife, you will know whether you are an ordinary person or not." Many people looked at Ye Qing with a sneer, as if they were looking at a dead person.
Ye Qing completely ignored the looks these nobles gave him as if he were a fool, and instead glared back at him provocatively like a fool, behaving exactly like a rookie who had just started out.
This made the nobles even more disdainful of Ye Qing.
But Xu Jiujiu, who had been watching the development of the situation at the booth, obviously realized that something was wrong. Although she had only spent less than an hour with Ye Qing before, Ye Qing's every move left a deep impression on her.
It is impossible for someone who knows how to act so well to behave in such a... retarded manner.
He was pretending! He was so sure! He acted like a fool just to avoid competing with others!
Since Xu Jiujiu has already seen that Ye Qing is determined to get this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, she might as well be straightforward and just swing the hammer to auction the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife to him.
It's just a little bit of gold soul coin profit. Xu Jiujiu really wants to see what Ye Qing is going to do with this soul-devouring carving knife.
Anyway, with Ye Qing's bid, this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has been sold, so it doesn't matter whether the price can be raised a little.
This... I have only met this person once, but Xu Jiujiu just regarded this as making friends with him.
"I hope you are sure of it." Xu Jiujiu sighed and raised the auction hammer to make the final decision: "Then congratulations to this distinguished guest for bidding for this Soul Devouring Carving Knife at a price of 200,000!"
Chapter 67: Planning the Snow Emperor Embryo in Advance
"Our lord wishes to see this distinguished guest."
When Ye Qing came to the backstage of the auction house and wanted to take away the gold of life that he had been longing for, he was told this by the staff.
"Why does she want to see me?" Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, then let the maid who walked with a cat-like gait lead him into the depths of the Starlight Auction House, and finally stopped at the door of a private room.
"Doudou..." The maid knocked on the door gently, and a familiar voice came from the box after a long time.
"Please come in."
In the box, Xu Jiujiu had changed out of the auctioneer's black dress and put on the same outfit that Ye Qing wore when he first met her, a slim-fitting golden dress with a lot of luxurious decorations on her body.
Seeing Ye Qing walk into the box, Xu Jiujiu looked up at him, smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture for him to sit down: "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. Try it. This is the most popular tea in Xingluo Empire. I'm sure you will like it."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the youngest princess of the Xingluo Empire, Xu Jiujiu?" Ye Qing took a sip of tea and asked.
Of course, this is just an opening remark. Xu Jiujiu's identity is not a secret. Anyone with a little knowledge knows her, the little princess who is deeply loved by Emperor Xu Jiawei.
"I wonder what the princess wants to see me for?"
"It has only been a week since we parted outside Xingluo City. At that time, I was thinking that if I had the chance to meet you again, I would definitely make friends with you." Xu Jiujiu put down the teacup and looked at Ye Qing with a smile on his face.
When they met up close again, Xu Jiujiu found that he still liked the feeling of being with Ye Qing. It was like they were friends they had known for a long time and he could relax and let down his guard.
However, the reason she had this feeling was entirely due to the effect of the Darkness of the Abyss.
The darkness of the abyss can trigger the darkness deep in other people's hearts and release the most selfish and twisted thoughts. As a little princess who has been spoiled by Xu Jiawei since childhood, Xu Jiujiu has no regrets or resentment in her heart. She has nothing to fall into at all.
It is comparable to the most popular among the popular ones.
The only thing she wanted was to relax and not to be hypocritical and engage in intrigue with those nobles.
The effect of the darkness of the abyss was that she slowly let down her guard and subconsciously developed trust in Ye Qing in front of her.
When a person feels that there is no one around him whom he can trust except his relatives, and a different existence suddenly appears, this strange trust will be magnified infinitely, and in the end it will even surpass that of the relatives he lives with day and night.
Of course, generally speaking, this is impossible, but if there is a force that distorts that person's thoughts...
(Bibi Dong gave a thumbs up)
Xu Jiujiu is in almost this state now. Ye Qing is the only outsider she doesn't feel disgusted with. Getting along with him is almost the same as when she gets along with Xu Jiawei, very easy and without any burden.
As a result, her words didn't even have the slightest sense of superiority, nor did they have that fairy-like tone of "it's your honor to be friends with this princess". Her tone was very ordinary and normal.
Ye Qing could easily tell the truth in her words. Possessing the talent of the Deep Darkness, he didn't even sense any negative emotion from Xu Jiujiu.
He was silent.
Ye Qing had already felt the effect of the Light of the Temple when he first entered Shrek. Its power was extremely exaggerated. If Ye Qing was interested, all the girls in Class 5 of the Freshman Class would probably climb into his bed willingly.
Ye Qing once thought that the ability of the Extreme Darkness had no effect on Xu Jiujiu, but it was not until now that he realized that this princess really could not fall.
It's too ridiculous.
"If Your Highness Princess wants to make friends with me, that's fine. I don't know how many people want to get to know you, but they don't have any chance." Ye Qing said with a smile.
However, Xu Jiujiu held her chin with one hand, with a bit of annoyance in her beautiful eyes: "I am not getting along with you as a princess, nor am I asking you to be friends with me as a princess. It's just me, Xu Jiujiu."
She didn't know why, but when she thought about the fact that she was interacting with Ye Qing as a princess, she felt like there was a gap between them, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.
Xu Jiujiu blurted out these words without thinking, which was incredible for her under normal circumstances. She was used to thinking twice before speaking and not doing anything that would damage her image and identity.
I felt a little irritated for a long time.
The Darkness of the Abyss is still outputting.
In Xu Jiujiu's opinion, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. She has already shown a different side of herself to Ye Qing, so she must make friends with this person, unless Ye Qing really threatens the Xingluo Empire.
"Just call me Jiujiu." Xu Jiujiu bit her lower lip and looked at Ye Qing stubbornly, almost writing the words "Tell me your name" on her face.
Pretty tsundere.
"Okay, Jiujiu." Ye Qing smiled slightly. He didn't know why, but even though it was due to his talent, he felt strangely excited to make Jiujiu, one of the few characters who was not love-brained, lose his composure.
"My name is Ye Xuan. Ye means dark night, Xuan means mysterious. You can just call me by my name."
It is obviously not meaningless to argue with Xu Jiujiu here. You should know that in addition to treasures like the Soul-Devouring Knife, the Xingluo Empire also has a good thing called the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Embryo.
You know, this embryo is the embryo of the 690,000-year-old peerless ferocious beast, the Snow Queen, the Ice and Snow Goddess.
Ye Qing did not have the ability to go to the Far North to intercept in advance. After all, neither the Snow Queen nor the ninth-level soul master who sealed her were people he could afford to offend.
But what if we can take a roundabout way and find a way to get the embryo before the auction?
What Xu Jiawei wanted to do was to use this hundred thousand year soul beast embryo to bring some fun to the Sun Moon Empire and Mingde Hall, and delay the Sun Moon Empire's pace of launching a war, but this kind of thing was not impossible with the Snow Emperor embryo.
Ye Qing, who possesses the memory of a plot prophet, has too many ways to do all of this.
