Ning Liu suppressed his elation and withdrew his consciousness from the system space.
The auction is still ongoing, so he's not in a hurry to absorb it now!
On the auction stage, DouDou's clear and melodious voice rang out again, pulling everyone's thoughts back from the astonishing price of twenty million.
"Distinguished guests, the first five items of this auction, namely the twenty thousand-year-old soul bones, have now been auctioned off!"
She smiled slightly, surveyed the entire room, and her voice carried just the right amount of mystery.
"Thank you all for your enthusiastic bidding. This is not only a transaction, but also an honor for our Liulitian Auction House."
After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the audience was reignited.
This time, however, it wasn't a tense bidding war, but rather a buzzing discussion mixed with curiosity, anticipation, and speculation.
"The main event is here! The previous items were just appetizers; this sixth item is the real grand finale, isn't it?"
"It's hard to say, the 'appetizers' beforehand were almost enough to make people burst."
"I suspect it might be some kind of peerless immortal herb? Like the ones that Liuli Tian auctioned before, such as those that can help with the evolution of martial souls!"
"Come on, who would sell that kind of stuff now? The price of thousand-year-old medicinal herbs has skyrocketed!"
"I think it might be a gifted young soul beast!"
"Whatever it is, it's none of our business anymore."
A mercenary leader shook his head with a wry smile and took a big gulp of wine.
"I've really seen something new today; this trip was definitely worthwhile."
"Let's take the brothers back into the Star Dou Great Forest and see if we can get some more thousand-year-old spiritual herbs! Maybe we can even get a soul bone!"
His words drew a chorus of agreement.
For most people, their auction is over.
The rest of the time, they were simply spectators, witnessing who would acquire those rare and precious treasures that they never even dared to dream of.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, DouDou clapped her hands lightly.
A graceful maid, carrying a jade plate tightly covered with a red cloth, slowly walked onto the stage with light, lotus-like steps.
Unlike the tray that held the soul bones before, this jade plate was much smaller, but the energy fluctuations emanating from it made all the soul masters present feel a chill.
It was an aura mixed with scorching heat and savagery, as if an ancient ferocious beast was locked in a dish.
Once everyone's attention was drawn to her, DouDou stretched out her slender hand and suddenly lifted the red cloth!
"Buzz—!"
A visible crimson heat wave suddenly spread outwards from the center of the jade plate.
On the jade plate, a palm-sized scale lay quietly.
The scales were entirely crimson with dark gold edges, and their surface was covered with mysterious and intricate patterns.
It remained still, yet it resembled a beating heart, each subtle fluctuation of energy distorting the surrounding air.
"These are... dragon scales?"
Someone exclaimed uncertainly.
DouDou's face beamed with a confident smile as she introduced herself in a clear voice:
"You all have excellent eyesight! This is indeed a dragon scale, but it does not come from a pure-blooded true dragon."
"This item is called 'The Reverse Scale of the Boiling Blood Dragon Lizard'!"
"This scale was taken from a Blood Boiling Dragon Lizard with a cultivation level of 50,000 years!"
"What's even more remarkable is that this dragon lizard was hunted down during its adolescence, when its dragon fire was at its peak and its bloodline power was at its most violent!"
DouDou's words were incredibly infectious, as if they transported everyone to that fiery battlefield.
"As everyone knows, dragons have scales that cannot be touched; to touch them is certain death."
"And this reverse scale is the core of the Boiling Blood Dragon Lizard's entire body, a condensation of dragon blood essence and soul power! It contains extremely violent fire poison, as well as the purest dragon blood power!"
"If a master blacksmith could properly process it and integrate it into a divine weapon, its offensive capabilities would likely be extraordinary!"
"If a master alchemist were to obtain it and combine it with a unique formula, he might be able to refine a potent elixir that could transform a fire-attribute soul master!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience erupted in a frenzy.
Fifty thousand years!
It's still the Achilles' heel of dragon-type soul beasts!
This value can no longer be measured simply in monetary terms.
Inside a VIP room.
The white-haired Dragon Lord Meng Shu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he sat up straight from his chair, staring intently at the crimson scales on the stage.
"Old man..."
The snake-woman standing to the side, Chaotianxiang, also had a slight, barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
"That's it, there's no mistake."
Long Gong's voice was deep and powerful, carrying a hint of barely suppressed excitement.
"This aura is exactly the same as described in the family's ancient records. The Blood Boiling Dragon Lizard's Reverse Scale, in its prime, is extremely yang and powerful, and incomparably ferocious!"
His gaze turned to his granddaughter, Meng Yiran, his eyes filled with expectation.
"Yiran, if we can obtain this item, and combine it with the 'Dragon Transformation Saliva' secret formula of my peerless dragon and snake family, I have a 70% chance of being able to refine a 'Crimson Dragon Pill' for you!"
"Red Dragon Pill?" Meng Yiran's beautiful eyes lit up.
"good!"
The snake woman chimed in, her tone equally excited.
"That pill is enough to purify and sublimate the Serpent Staff Martial Soul within you, and it might even... awaken a trace of true dragon bloodline! At that time, your Martial Soul will no longer be a snake, but at least a jiao, and possibly even a dragon!"
"Ah? This elixir is so precious, perhaps we should..."
Another VIP room.
