The air inside the venue was thick and scorching hot.
Countless heavy breaths mingled together, and everyone's eyes turned bloodshot, fixed intently on the pile of dark, shimmering crystals.
Those aren't stones; they're steps leading to the pinnacle of power!
The cracks in the handrail beneath Qian Daoliu are slowly widening.
He had only one thought in his mind—to get it!
At all costs!
With these one hundred soul power crystals, Xue'er's soul power improvement speed will soar again, and the final stretch on the road to godhood will be greatly shortened!
Gold Soul Coins?
What is that?
Problems that can be solved with money have never been a problem for the Spirit Hall.
At worst, we can just have Bibi Dong put in a little more effort and take the Spirit Hall to the mainland to "generate revenue" a few more times.
In the midst of this deathly silence, DouDou's clear, crisp sound rang out again, like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake.
"One hundred black soul power crystals, auctioned off as a package!"
She paused, looked around at the faces contorted with excitement, and parted her red lips to utter an astronomical figure that sent a collective gasp through the room.
"Starting bid: one million gold soul coins! Each bid must be at least one hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
One million!
This number was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of many Soul Masters who had just been getting carried away.
They instantly snapped out of it, a bitter smile appearing on their faces.
This level of bidding is beyond their reach.
But for the real giants, this is just the beginning.
"One million one hundred thousand!"
"One million five hundred thousand!" A powerful voice came from another sect's private room.
Two million!
"Three million gold soul coins! My Overlord Sect will take them!"
The sect leader's wife spoke again, her voice carrying a strong tone.
The Overlord Sect Master beside her, instead of feeling helpless this time, straightened his back, exuding a domineering aura, as if he were standing up for his wife.
The price skyrocketed, breaking through the five million mark in just a few dozen seconds, and is still climbing at an alarming rate.
"Six million six hundred and sixty thousand!"
The portly voice that liked auspicious numbers rang out again, but this time, his voice clearly lacked confidence and sounded more like a habitual bidding.
Sure enough, his words were immediately followed by an even higher price.
"Eight million!"
"Ten million!"
When the price broke through ten million gold soul coins, the bidding in the market finally subsided.
The price was subsequently raised to 20 million!
The atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense; everyone held their breath, waiting for the final competition.
Just then, an old and calm voice slowly drifted out from the No. 1 private room.
"One hundred million."
There are no units, no suffixes, just two simple words.
One hundred million?
One hundred million what? Copper Soul Coins?
Everyone was stunned at first, and then a terrifying thought exploded in everyone's mind!
One hundred million... gold soul coins!
"Splash—"
Someone's teacup slipped from their hand and shattered in the deathly silent hall with a jarring sound.
DouDou was stunned for half a second by the price, but her excellent professionalism allowed her to react quickly.
"The VIP in the number one private room has bid... 100 million gold soul coins!"
Her voice even trembled slightly, "Is there...is there a higher price?"
She asked, but she knew it was over.
This is no longer an auction, this is a crushing defeat.
The entire room fell silent.
"One hundred million gold soul coins at a time!"
DouDou's voice echoed in the empty hall.
"One hundred million gold soul coins twice!"
Her gaze swept across the entire room, and everyone who met her eyes instinctively looked away.
She took a deep breath, raised the small wooden mallet in her hand, and struck it down with all her might!
"Thump!"
"make a deal!"
The hammer fell, and the dust settled.
This pile of strategic resources, enough to ignite a war, was acquired by the Spirit Hall at an unprecedented and perhaps never-to-be-repeated price.
...
Top floor, quiet room.
Ning Liu leaned comfortably against his "exclusive throne," listening to the astonishing transaction price downstairs, and nodded in satisfaction.
Of course he could tell who had auctioned it off.
With a thousand streams, one's foundation is solid.
As he was thinking, that cold yet familiar voice rang out in his mind right on time.
[Ding! 100 Black Soul Power Crystals sold!]
[Triggering a 100x return!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 'Black Soul Power Crystal ×'!]
Ning Liu's consciousness sank into the system space.
The once empty corner is now occupied by a small, completely black crystalline mountain.
One hundred pieces are enough to drive the entire auction house crazy.
What about these ten thousand?
Ning Liu's lips curled into a smile.
He reached out his hand, as if he could actually touch the cold yet powerful crystal.
"Good, that's enough."
He murmured to himself.
For self-cultivation, the more black-level soul power crystals the better!
After all, red-grade soul power crystals are extremely rare!
However, after this auction ends, he wants his titled Douluo subordinates to have another match!
Let's see if we can get a red-grade soul crystal!
Qian Daoliu thought he had found a shortcut for his granddaughter.
Little did they know, Ning Liu already possessed a path to the heavens.
He regained his composure and turned his gaze back to the auction stage downstairs.
The real show has only just begun.
