Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, a maid dressed in an elegant long dress gracefully emerged from backstage, pushing a small silver cart covered with red velvet.
Glug, glug.
The sound of wheels rolling was exceptionally clear in the silent meeting room.
It's here!
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the red cloth.
The outline under the red cloth was not large, and it was rectangular. It was impossible to tell what kind of weapon it was, nor did it resemble the shape of a soul bone.
"Could it be some kind of ancient cultivation technique or secret manual?"
Someone whispered their guesses.
"It could also be a map that records some ancient ruins!"
"Being placed in the first position must mean it's a treasure meant to command respect!"
Inside the private room, Qian Daoliu's golden eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized the car.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that there was no soul power fluctuation under the red cloth, so it was neither a soul tool nor a vessel that sealed a powerful soul beast.
What could that be?
Even he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
This Crystal Heaven is strange in every way, and its actions are completely illogical.
On the auction stage, Dou Dou moved gracefully to the silver car.
She didn't rush to reveal the answer, but instead stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the surface of the velvet fabric, her mysterious smile growing even stronger.
She surveyed the entire room, taking in everyone's eagerness and anticipation, and a playful smile curved her lips.
"I'm sure you're all eagerly waiting."
"Then let us witness together this first auction item that will be recorded in the history of the mainland!"
Before she finished speaking, she flicked her wrist.
"Whoosh!"
The red cloth was suddenly ripped open, tracing a graceful arc, and she caught it in her hand.
In an instant, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
There were no magical weapons or rare treasures on the silver car, only a book.
A thick book with extremely... extravagant binding.
On the dark brown hardcover, several large, sparkling words are inlaid with rhinestones—
Postpartum care for sows
Below the title, there is another line of equally sparkling small print: Diamond Collector's Edition.
quiet.
The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.
The thousands of people in the venue, whether they were high-ranking sect leaders or wealthy merchants who spent lavishly, all stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their expressions frozen on their faces.
What did they see?
sow?
Postpartum care?
Inside the No. 1 private room, the curiosity on Qian Daoliu's face instantly froze.
Behind him, Qian Renxue's cold and beautiful face also cracked slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.
"puff……"
Someone, I don't know who, couldn't help but let out a strange muffled sound.
This is like a signal.
"Pfft, hahaha—!"
"My God! I'm not seeing things, am I? A sow?!"
"Liu Litian... what is Liu Litian doing? Has he gone mad?"
"Hahahaha! I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing! Just now, when they were fighting to the death outside the city, I thought the first item to be auctioned would be at least a 100,000-year-old soul bone!"
The oppressive silence was shattered, and a deafening roar of laughter nearly lifted the dome of the auction house.
Those sect leaders of noble status were laughing so hard they were doubled over, completely losing their usual dignity.
The sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, Tianxiang Huyanzhen, went even further, slamming his large, fan-like hand on the table, making the teacups clink.
"Good lad! This Ning Liu, I'm impressed! He's a real talent!"
Some of Liuli Tian's regular customers were laughing and shaking their heads at the same time.
"I knew Sect Leader Ning would cause trouble, but I never expected him to go this far!"
"This isn't an auction, it's clearly a mockery of all the prominent figures on the continent!"
Inside the private room, Qian Daoliu's face turned from black to green, then from green to purple, and finally turned into a sheet of iron gray.
The fingers gripping the window frame had prominent knuckles that made a soft "crackling" sound.
humiliation!
This is a blatant insult!
He, the dignified Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall and a peerless Douluo of level ninety-nine, was just now engrossed in a book... a book about sow farming!
The uproarious laughter outside felt like a resounding slap across his face.
On the auction stage, despite the bursts of laughter from the audience, DouDou maintained a professional and sweet smile.
She picked up the extraordinary book and, in a solemn tone as if introducing a peerless martial arts technique, read it aloud in a clear voice:
"Distinguished guests, please do not be misled by its unassuming title. This Diamond Collector's Edition of 'Postpartum Care of Sows' is a masterpiece!"
She opened the book and showed it to everyone.
"This book covers a wide range of topics, from pre-breeding preparations for sows to nutritional diet planning during pregnancy, and postpartum wound care and psychological support. It provides a comprehensive, multi-faceted, and in-depth explanation of every detail of sow farming!"
"More importantly!"
She emphasized her words and pointed to the book cover with her finger.
"This is the Diamond Collector's Edition, which includes the book's author, Mr. 'Pig Sorrow,' the number one pig farmer in mainland China, with his autograph and lip print. It is extremely valuable for collectors!"
Whether for family heirlooms or as a gift, it's the perfect choice!
"Pfft, hahaha! Psychological counseling? Pigs need psychological counseling?"
"Pig's Sorrow? This name... I'm speechless! I'm completely speechless!"
The laughter from the audience had turned into desperate screams, and many people laughed until tears streamed down their faces.
DouDou gently placed the book back on the cart, her smile unchanged, but her voice suddenly rose, filled with passion.
"Such a masterpiece is of immeasurable value!"
"However, in order to promote this great technology and benefit the people, we at Liuli Tian have decided to start the auction at a very affordable price!"
She extended a slender, white finger.
"Starting price: 100 Gold Soul Coins! Each bid must be at least 10 Gold Soul Coins higher! The auction begins now!"
The room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into even louder cheers.
"I'll offer 110 gold soul coins! I'll buy it and give it to my steward to study properly!" a fat, big-eared merchant shouted.
"Can your butler even learn it? Let me do it! 150 gold soul coins!"
"Sect Master of the Celestial Phenomenon Sect, with so many mammoths and giant elephants in your Elephant Armor Sect, you must have some expertise in pig farming, right? I'll buy some for you!" a sect master joked.
Tianxiang Huyan Zhen laughed and cursed:
"Get the hell out of here! You think you can compare my mammoth to a pig?"
"But this book is really interesting. I'll pay two hundred gold soul coins to buy it and use it as a table leg!"
"Two hundred and fifty!"
"three hundred!"
The price soared amidst laughter and banter, with everyone treating it as a game, an opportunity to participate in this unprecedented "fool's stunt" by spending a little money.
The atmosphere at the venue was more enthusiastic and joyful than ever before.
