Upon receiving Ning Liu's affirmative reply, Tao Jingyun visibly relaxed.
He was an honest man, and immediately tried to take something out of his storage soul tool, muttering to himself:
"In that case, I will..."
His actions were somewhat hasty, as if he wanted to settle the debt on the spot to prove his credibility.
However, before he could finish his hand movements, Ning Liu gently raised his hand.
A simple gesture, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"No need to rush, I'll pay for it first."
Ning Liu's voice remained flat, revealing no emotion.
"The auction is not over yet. Once everything has settled, the island lord can come to me again. I trust everyone's reputation in Liulitian."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Especially on the side of the Sea Soul Masters, countless gazes converged on Ning Liu, the emotions contained within them extremely complex.
There was astonishment, there was scrutiny, but more than anything, there was a heartfelt admiration.
"Liuli Tian... can trust everyone's reputation."
Tao Jingyun pondered the sentence repeatedly, feeling as if every word struck his heart.
This is not just a polite remark, but a sign of respect and recognition from the top forces on the mainland for these Sea Soul Masters!
This rugged man had slightly reddened eyes at this moment. He solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Ning Liu's direction and said nothing more.
But the gratitude and respect were self-evident.
The surrounding Sea Soul Masters were also filled with excitement.
"This Sect Master Ning... what a magnificent presence he has!"
"Yes, 1.6 million gold soul coins, and they believed it without even saying so. If it were me, I wouldn't feel at ease until I saw the item."
"This is the true demeanor of a grand empire!"
The way they looked at Ning Liu had completely changed.
If before it was out of fear of Liuli Tian's strength, now it is out of genuine respect.
Ning Liu ignored the surrounding chatter. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and used the rising steam to perfectly conceal the barely suppressed smile on his lips.
Just now, that familiar voice rang in his mind again.
[Ding! The 60,000-year-old deep blue coral has been successfully auctioned!]
Auction Price: 1.6 million Gold Soul Coins.
[Triggered a 100x return! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 100 '60,000-year-old Deep Blue Spirit Coral' plants!]
[The item has been stored in the system space. Please check it.]
"puff……"
Ning Liu almost spat out his tea, but luckily he reacted quickly and swallowed it back down, though he coughed lightly twice from the choking.
One hundred plants!
A deep blue coral that is 60,000 years old!
His consciousness sank into the system space, looking at the corner shrouded in deep blue light, where a hundred coral-shaped spiritual herbs lay quietly.
It exudes a powerful aura of water element, almost turning his system space into a vast ocean.
A single plant was enough to make these Sea Soul Masters and Island Lords fight tooth and nail, even to the point of selling their possessions.
If there were a hundred plants...
A comical image inexplicably surfaced in Ning Liu's mind:
He walked to the auction stage and, like dumping garbage, poured out one hundred Deep Blue Spirit Coral plants, then addressed the stunned Sea Soul Masters below.
"Stop fighting, everyone gets one, buy one get one free today."
He estimated that the worldview of these men who made the sea their home would collapse on the spot.
The marine treasures they are so proud of are like cabbages in their own land.
This feeling is... indescribably wonderful.
Ning Liu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the upward curve of his lips, maintaining his calm and composed demeanor.
The happiness in one's heart is something only one person needs to know.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong on the stage saw that the time was right and spoke again. Her clear and melodious voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Thank you all for your enthusiastic bidding, and congratulations to Island Master Tao for winning your desired treasure."
She first smiled and nodded at Tao Jingyun, then changed the subject and her expression became more serious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, only one item remains from the auction items provided by Poseidon Island."
These words reignited the atmosphere in the room.
The best is often the one that comes last.
The previous items, whether it was the quota for the Cleansing Spring or the Deep Blue Coral, were already rare treasures. What kind of astonishing thing would this last item be?
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the auction stage.
Ning Rongrong didn't keep them in suspense; she nodded slightly towards the backstage area.
This time, the maid who came up was particularly solemn. She did not carry the item on a jade plate, but carefully held a jade box made of thousand-year-old cold jade in both hands.
The jade box was shrouded in a cold mist, clearly intended to preserve the items inside.
The maid gently placed the jade box on the auction table, bowed, and withdrew.
Ning Rongrong stretched out her slender hand and, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, slowly opened the clasp of the jade box.
"Click".
With a soft click, the jade box opened.
There was no dazzling light as I had imagined, nor any intense energy fluctuations.
Everyone craned their necks to see what was inside the jade box.
It was a seashell about the size of a palm.
Yes, it's a seashell.
It has a warm, moon-white color throughout, with naturally formed, water-ripple-like patterns on its surface that radiate outward from the center. Apart from that, it has nothing particularly special about it.
