"Three million gold soul coins!"
As soon as DouDou finished speaking, an elder from the sect sitting in the front row eagerly raised his sign, his voice loud and clear, as if afraid that someone else would beat him to it.
"Three and a half million!"
Five million!
"I'll offer six and a half million!"
The bidding noise rose and fell, like dry tinder being lit, instantly igniting a raging fire.
Every price fluctuation was accompanied by tense calculations and rapid breathing.
Those family patriarchs and mercenary leaders who could only watch helplessly before now had bloodshot eyes and devoted all their energy to this final battle.
They knew very well that the value of this set of soul bones lay not in the power of any single individual bone, but in their perfect complementarity.
For a force with limited resources, cultivating a powerful Soul Master is extremely difficult, but optimizing the configuration of a team can bring about an immediate improvement.
"Brother Wang, that torso bone is too important for your defensive kid! Let's join forces and offer eight million!"
"No, Brother Li, those guys from the Wind Sword Sect are also eyeing the right arm bone. They have more people, so we need to recruit another one!"
The collusion within the venue became more blatant, and the originally clearly defined seating areas were now in complete chaos.
The leaders of several small factions huddled together, discussing their bidding strategies with great enthusiasm, as if they had returned to a scene of haggling in a vegetable market, except that the prices were in units of "ten thousand".
Ning Liu watched with great interest in the VIP room.
This is the game of human nature.
The energy that erupts when a seemingly unattainable goal suddenly becomes "maybe within reach" is astonishing.
The title "last item" in particular fueled everyone's desires to the fullest extent.
If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll get another chance like this?
The price quickly broke through the five million mark and continues to climb at a considerable pace.
"Eight million! Our Iron Blood Alliance wants this set of soul bones!"
A burly man stood up, looked around, and tried to intimidate his opponent with his imposing presence.
"Hmph, you think you can get it for eight million? Nine million!"
From another corner, a sinister voice immediately followed.
"Ten million!"
When the price broke through ten million, the noise in the room suddenly subsided.
This number has exceeded the tolerance limit for most smaller factions.
"Eleven million!"
"Twelve million!"
"Twelve million five hundred thousand!"
The price was even increased online!
Many of the alliances that were just arguing fiercely now looked at each other with bitter expressions.
They underestimated the allure of this set of soul bones and overestimated their own financial resources.
DouDou stood on the stage, her eyes sparkling with excitement, preparing to make her usual offer.
A cool and arrogant voice drifted from a VIP room, clearly resonating in everyone's ears.
"Twenty million."
There was no impassioned tone, only calmness.
Tens of millions to twenty million—this isn't bidding; this is an announcement.
Everyone instinctively looked up in the direction from which the sound came.
Who is it?
VIP room.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stroked his forehead, his expression slightly helpless:
"Your Holiness, isn't this price a bit too high for a set of millennium-old soul bones?"
Before him, Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, her posture elegant, her beautiful face calm and serene, seemingly indifferent to the twenty million gold soul coins.
"Is it high? I don't think so."
Bibi Dong spoke calmly.
"This combination of soul bones is very interesting."
"That right arm bone from the porcupine is perfect for Moonblade; the torso bone from the stone turtle can also be given to Nana; as for that skull from the echo bat, it's a good addition for Moonblade as well."
"This... Your Majesty has considered this carefully."
Yue Guan bowed slightly.
“Go tell those three,”
Bibi Dong's tone remained unchanged, but the content made Yue Guanxin's heart tremble.
"Soul bones are bestowed by the Spirit Hall; they are the capital that enhances their ability to serve the Spirit Hall."
"If they unfortunately perish one day, these soul bones must be returned intact to the Spirit Hall's treasury. They are the assets of the Spirit Hall, not their private property."
"Yes, I understand."
......
On the auction stage, DouDou quickly regained her professional demeanor after a brief moment of shock.
Her voice suddenly rose several octaves.
"Twenty million! That's the offer from the VIP lounge! Is there a higher price?"
Her gaze swept across the entire room, only to be met with bitter smiles and head-shaking. Trying to steal from the Spirit Hall? Unless they'd been kicked in the head by a spirit beast.
"Twenty million, for the first time!"
"Twenty million, for the second time!"
"Twenty million... Sold!"
"clang!"
The crisp sound of the gavel brought this grand auction to a perfect close.
At the very moment the gavel fell, the familiar system notification sounded in Ning Liu's mind as expected.
[Ding! The Millennium Balance Soul Bone Set was successfully auctioned!]
[Auction Price: 20 million Gold Soul Coins!]
[Triggering a 1000x return!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: four 100,000-year-old soul bones]

Ning Liu felt a surge of excitement, and his consciousness instantly sank into the system space.
