As soon as DouDou finished speaking, the brief silence in the room was shattered by a sharp voice.
"I'll offer five hundred gold soul coins!"
The comical bid elicited a suppressed chuckle, which seemed to have flipped a switch.
"Fifty thousand! I'll offer fifty thousand gold soul coins! To buy those thirty-seven Soul Kings!"
A fat, big-eared businessman stood up from his seat, waving his arms excitedly.
"Dream on! You think you can buy thirty-seven Soul Kings for fifty thousand? I'll offer fifteen thousand! As for the thirteen Soul Emperors, our Black Cloud Merchant Guild wants them!"
A cold snort came from another private room.
The scene instantly resembled a bustling market, with everyone chattering and vying for their own piece of the enormous cake.
DouDou raised her voice, drowning out all the noise.
"Distinguished guests, please take note."
"To reiterate, this auction item will be sold as a whole, not separately!"
Whole-house auction?
This is no small sum of money.
The greed that had just appeared on the faces of many small and medium-sized forces present was instantly extinguished, turning into powerlessness.
They weren't unaware of what was being said; they had just made their bid, but they were simply acting impulsively.
Clearly, this is not a game they can participate in.
Inside the private room of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai looked at the reactions of the people below with a hint of disdain on his face.
He straightened his collar, walked directly to the window of the private room, and his voice, transmitted through his soul power, clearly resounded throughout the room.
"One million gold soul coins."
One million?!
In the Spirit Hall's private room, Chrysanthemum Douluo raised an eyebrow.
"Your Majesty, these powers are really willing to spend a lot of money."
Bibi Dong tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest and began to speak.
"Whether they're willing to part with it or not, even if they are, are we just going to let him get it so easily?"
She spoke softly, then pressed a button on the bidding device with her delicate hand.
The next second.
"One million five hundred thousand."
Raising the price by 500,000 at once? It must be some powerful force getting involved.
What do they need these people for? Do these powerful forces really lack Soul Masters?
Dai Mubai was taken aback, then gritted his teeth and said.
"I wonder who made the bid. Could it be the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family?"
His aides hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"The Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family is equally wealthy, we..."
"We can't let them!"
Dai Mubai growled.
"These people must not fall into the hands of the Heavenly Dou Empire!"
On the other side, in the private room of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect.
Yu Luomian's eyes were merely observing some of the prisoners on the stage with great interest.
"Second Master, this price increase is a bit too aggressive. Should we continue to argue?"
"Struggle?"
Yu Luomian chuckled softly.
"We still need to fight for it."
"I have no interest in that bunch of good-for-nothings, but..."
He pointed to several specific Soul Masters on the stage.
"That martial soul is the Soul Emperor of the Overturning Sea Dragon, and those two martial souls of the Azure Water Dragon Lizard are Soul Kings, they are still somewhat useful."
"Buy them back and fill the outer perimeter of the sect, and see if they can produce offspring with female disciples in the clan who have mutated martial souls."
"Improving bloodlines is a strategy for strengthening my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan."
"As for the others, send them to the sect's training grounds so the younger generation can practice. That will make the best use of them."
Yu Luomian's plan was shrewd.
Just then, another voice rang out, coming from another private room.
"One million six hundred thousand!"
It is Prince Xuexing!
Clearly, even this prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire could no longer sit still.
Dai Mubai's anger intensified as the price was repeatedly raised.
"Great! Excellent!"
"One million seven hundred thousand!"
He practically yelled it out.
The Spirit Hall continued to raise the price.
"One million eight hundred thousand."
Dai Mubai's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
Two million!
This price caused many people in the room to gasp in surprise.
Representatives of some factions even began whispering among themselves, discussing whether they could mortgage their assets on the spot and join forces to take a gamble.
"Our Sea Walrus Sect is willing to mortgage the sect's mineral revenue for the next ten years, offering 2.1 million!"
"Our Flying Fish Merchant Guild is also willing to mortgage all of our fleets for auction first, and then raise funds!"
The scene became chaotic again.
DouDou slammed the auction gavel down hard.
clang!
"Everyone!"
"For the time being, this auction will only accept on-site settlement in Gold Soul Coins!"
"In the next auction, collateral or property valuation will be considered as appropriate!"
This one sentence shut out all those who were trying to speculate.
In the end, the competition came down to the most powerful parties.
Prices climbed steadily as the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire took turns leading the bidding, with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan occasionally making bids.
Two and a half million.
Three million.
Three and a half million.
Inside the venue.
Ning Liu leaned back leisurely on the sofa, watching the numbers jumping wildly on the soul guide screen, feeling pleased.
"Keep fighting, keep fighting."
"The more fiercely they fight, the better."
This isn't an auction; it's practically his personal ATM.
Finally, when the price was raised to "four million" by Prince Xuexing of the Heaven Dou Empire, there was a slight pause in Dai Mubai's private room.
Then, Dai Mubai angrily spoke again.
Five million!
"I'll offer five million gold soul coins!"
The hoarse roar echoed throughout the auction hall.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong finally revealed a smile in the Spirit Hall's private room.
After all, they were just a group of Soul Saints and Soul Emperors!
This price is already at the level she wants the other party to pay.
On the auction stage, DouDou raised the gavel, her excitement barely concealed.
Five million gold soul coins!
"Are there any higher prices?"
"Five million gold soul coins, once!"
"Five million gold soul coins, twice!"
Her voice echoed in the empty hall, striking the hearts of everyone present with each resonant sound.
"Five million gold soul coins, sold!"
clang!
The crisp sound of the gavel falling signaled the end of the auction for this item.
Almost at the same moment, inside the arena, that familiar system voice rang in Ning Liu's mind.
[Ding!]
[Lot 'Remnants of the Xuan Shui Sect 1' has been successfully sold!]
Auction Price: Five million Gold Soul Coins.
[Generating return multiplier...]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a 1000x return!]
