An auction?
Just moments before, they were still stunned and speechless by the seven sacred fragments of law.
But the next second, the instigator, a young man named Ning Liu, suddenly changed his tune and said he wanted to hold an auction.
This turn of events happened so fast that it was hard to keep up.
"Pfft."
A crisp, light laugh broke the silence.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her bright eyes curving into crescents. She walked to Ning Liu's side and teased him without any restraint:
"Senior brother, you really do hold auctions wherever you go!"
The Sea Soul Masters looked at each other, their tense nerves relaxing, and a quiet murmur of discussion rose up like a tide.
What is an auction?
A young Sea Soul Master asked his companion curiously.
"I heard it from my uncle, who had gone to coastal cities on the mainland to purchase supplies,"
The companion lowered his voice, but his face showed barely suppressed excitement.
"They bring out the treasures and let a group of rich people bid against each other. Whoever bids the most gets the treasure! It's said that the scene is very lively, and sometimes people fight tooth and nail over a single item!"
“Sell our treasures to others? How can we do that!”
Immediately, some people voiced their opposition, their expressions agitated.
"Idiot! This guy is definitely going to take something out and take pictures too!"
"And since it's an auction, it must be settled with gold soul coins!"
Another middle-aged Sea Soul Master, who seemed quite knowledgeable, retorted, "Gold Soul Coins! Those are the hard currency of the continent! What's the use of us guarding these treasures?"
"Can we eat or drink it? If we exchange it for gold soul coins, how many cultivation resources could we get from the mainland? We could also get fine armor, weapons, and even some ingredients that we don't have in the sea!"
These words were like a key, unlocking a long-sealed door in the hearts of many.
Poseidon Island is rich in resources and self-sufficient, but in some aspects, it cannot compare to the vast Douluo Continent.
The atmosphere on the field instantly became lively.
Some opponents argued that this was a desecration of the treasures bestowed by the sea god;
Some agreed, their eyes gleaming with longing for gold soul coins and resources from the mainland;
Many more were simply there to watch the excitement and stir things up, eager and excited to get involved.
"Interesting! This kid from the mainland wants to compete with us to see whose treasure is more valuable?"
"Hmph, what good stuff could he possibly have? Could it compare to the treasures of our Seagod Island?"
"That's hard to say. Didn't you see them just casually pull out seven... those things?"
The moment the mention of fragments of laws was made, the noise paused for a moment, then resumed in an even stranger atmosphere.
All eyes eventually turned to the stunning woman in the azure dress.
No matter how much they argued, the final decision rested with the high priest Poseidon.
Poseidon's gaze swept over Ning Liu's young face, which held a faint smile.
This person has an endless stream of tricks up his sleeve.
First, they established their authority with the Thunder Symbol, then bestowed favors with fragments of laws, and now they want to use a unique "auction" to completely strengthen their relationship with Poseidon Island.
The schemes were meticulously orchestrated, employing both coercion and enticement, and employing both overt and covert tactics to manipulate public opinion.
Is this really the mindset of someone who looks so young?
Poseidon sighed inwardly.
But she had to admit that she was also somewhat interested in the proposal.
The eternal tranquility of Poseidon Island may need a little fresh excitement.
"Auction,"
She parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and cool like moonlight, yet no longer keeping people at arm's length.
"That's possible. How would you like to film it?"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Ning Liu's smile widened.
By engaging in a business activity, both parties can be brought from potential adversarial positions to the same table, becoming equal participants. Once shared interests and entertainment are established, any barriers will naturally dissipate.
Ning Liu held up one finger and said loudly:
"The rules are simple. To ensure fairness and to make the event more exciting, we will each contribute five items to make a perfect ten."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the dazzling array of treasures on the platform, and continued:
"Everyone on Poseidon Island may voluntarily select five items from the treasures displayed at today's Treasure Fair as auction items."
“My Liuli Heaven will also contribute five items from the mainland to the auction.”
"As for the bidding method, we will use the simplest and most direct method of settlement: Gold Soul Coins. The highest bidder wins."
"Whether you are a friend from Poseidon Island or someone from the mainland, you are welcome to participate in the bidding."
"Soul Masters from Seagod Island can be purchased at any time, in exchange for their goods!"
"how?"
Ning Liu's voice clearly resonated throughout the venue, each word striking a chord in everyone's hearts.
Five items each!
Gold Soul Coins Settlement!
This rule is simple and straightforward, yet it exudes an aura of absolute fairness and confidence.
Those forces that were initially worried about their treasures being forcibly auctioned off immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The choice is voluntary, which leaves room for negotiation. They can offer valuable items, though of little use to themselves, in exchange for real gold soul coins.
Of course, most people's minds were still on that vague "battle for honor".
"Compete with us for treasures? This kid's got some nerve!"
"Exactly! Our five treasures from Seagod Island can definitely crush their five treasures!"
"Just wait and see, the item with the highest final auction price will definitely be something from our sea!"
A strange emotion, a mixture of comparison and anticipation, quickly spread among the Sea Soul Masters.
Even the seven Saint Pillar Douluos who had just received the fragments of the laws had different expressions at this moment.
Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Illusion Douluo exchanged glances, all seeing a hint of interest in each other's eyes.
They guarded the sacred pillar year after year, a monotonous and tedious task, so this novelty was quite interesting.
Upon hearing this, Ning Liu not only wasn't annoyed, but instead laughed.
That's the kind of drive he's looking for.
I'm not afraid of you fighting, I'm afraid of you not fighting.
He looked at Poseidon and gestured for him to begin: "Then, High Priest, let us discuss this amongst ourselves, and we may begin here shortly!"
Poseidon nodded slightly.
"Can."
