Night falls and the city lights come on.

Inside the Liulitian Auction House, the place was already bustling with activity and every seat was taken.

The air was thick with a scorching atmosphere, a mixture of anticipation and restlessness, and the eyes of everyone present gleamed with an undisguised fervor.

Besides the private boxes, the spacious auction hall was divided into several distinct areas.

Many secondary sects, families, dukes, and merchants gathered in small groups, talking in hushed tones, their eyes constantly glancing at each other with a mixture of probing and wariness.

"Have you heard? This time, Liuli Heaven is announcing that four thousand-year-old soul bones will be auctioned off as a package!"

"It's not just hearsay; our sect leader summoned the elders overnight and scraped together a large sum of gold soul coins, all for these four soul bones!"

"Hey, don't get your hopes up. I've heard rumors that several second-tier sects have secretly joined forces to acquire this set of soul bones, which they'll then digest internally."

"This Liuli Heavenly Realm is truly generous, taking out four thousand-year-old soul bones just like that!"

A murmur of discussion arose, with everyone's attention focused on the yet-to-be-released auction item.

For the vast majority of Soul Masters, Soul Bones are rare treasures that are hard to come by. A single thousand-year-old Soul Bone is enough to give a Soul Master a qualitative leap in strength.

Just as the enthusiastic atmosphere was about to reach its peak, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, leaving only a soft white light projected precisely onto the center of the auction stage.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a graceful figure slowly stepped into the beam of light.

She wore an elegant light purple dress that perfectly accentuated her curves, and her long, wavy brown hair shone with a captivating luster under the lights.

With delicate features and a sweet smile, she is none other than DouDou, the top auctioneer of LiuLiTian.

"It's Miss DouDou!"

"Oh my god, she looks even more beautiful now."

A commotion immediately arose in the audience, with many male Soul Masters showing amazement and admiration in their eyes.

However, when DouDou stood still and habitually released her martial spirit as a sign of respect, the entire auction house fell into an eerie silence.

A pair of pure white wings quietly unfurled behind her, and a strand of snow-white hair cascaded down from her long brown hair, adding to her ethereal beauty. Then, four spirit rings rose one after another from beneath her feet.

Yellow, yellow, yellow, purple!

The silence lasted only a second before it was replaced by a deafening roar of exclamations!

"Four...four spirit rings?!"

"Am I seeing things? Isn't Miss DouDou a Soul Master? When did she become a Soul Grandmaster?"

"This...this is impossible! Isn't her martial soul a white dove?"

"The White Dove Martial Soul doesn't really have any outstanding abilities."

"That's right, and her third spirit ring is only a hundred years old, so her potential is even less. How much time has passed? This doesn't make sense!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

The quality of a martial spirit largely determines the upper limit of a soul master's abilities; this is an unchanging truth.

The White Dove, a support-type ordinary beast spirit, has limited potential. It is already rare for it to cultivate to the level of a Soul Master. Now, however, it appears before everyone as a Soul Sect Master, carrying a thousand-year-old soul ring, which completely overturns their understanding.

"Hiss... Could it be that Liuli Tian has mastered some kind of secret technique that can improve the quality of a martial soul?"

Some people gasped and made a bold guess.

In a corner, a somewhat sleazy-looking fat man winked at his companion and said:

"What secret technique? I think... hehe, just think about it, Miss Doudou is so stunningly beautiful, and what kind of person is that young sect leader of Liuli Heaven..."

"Is there a cultivation method in this world called dual cultivation?"

Before he could finish speaking, a female Soul Master beside him cast a disdainful glance and snorted coldly:

"Idiot! What do you know? There's no such thing as dual cultivation. Unless you have some kind of bizarre martial soul that can improve in this way, and even if it could, how could it improve so quickly?"

"Besides those filthy things, can't you think of anything else?"

The fat man choked, his face turning red, and he awkwardly shut his mouth.

Listening to the various unbelievable speculations from the audience, DouDou maintained a professional smile, but a warm feeling welled up inside her.

Soul power crystallization.

After the last auction, the Lord casually bestowed some crystal-clear soul power crystals upon her, causing her soul power to surge, breaking through the bottleneck of level 40 from level 33.

This kindness is as heavy as a mountain.

Her reverence for that young sect leader had, unknowingly, been mixed with a touch of girlish infatuation.

However, whenever this thought arose, she would feel a pang of sadness.

Whether it's the willful and adorable Miss Ning Rongrong, the lively and agile Xiao Wu, or the aloof and proud Zhu Zhuqing, they are all exceptional women, and their martial spirits are extraordinary.

With my looks and abilities, how could I possibly catch his eye?

DouDou quickly composed herself and buried those beautiful thoughts deep in her heart.

She knew that the only thing she could do was to conduct the auction perfectly and live up to the Lord's trust.

She took a deep breath, and her sweet yet penetrating voice resonated throughout the entire area through her soul power:

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to Liulitian. I am DouDou, the host of this auction."

"Without further ado, I'm sure you're all getting impatient. So now, I declare the second grand auction of Liuli Heaven officially open!"

Her clear voice instantly drew everyone's attention back.
