As for the third effect, the relic of the "Slumbering Temple"...
Ning Liu's thoughts drifted away.
The inheritance of a divine position is the ultimate goal that countless soul masters on the continent dream of, no matter what.
But the problem is... the sleeping god?
The name "Divine Position" itself exudes an air of laziness.
Of all the titled Douluo under his command, not one could be considered "slumbering".
Xu Jiushi has been with me the longest, should I give it to him?
Ning Liu imagined Xu Jiushi snoring while hugging a pillow, and quickly shook her head.
The Bone Douluo Ancient Banyan Tree is unpredictable and mysterious. Should we send it to slumber?
Poison Douluo...
It seems that the matter of the succession to the divine position will have to be put on hold for the time being.
This cushion is a treasured item, to be kept hidden away. It should never be shown to anyone or used lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Just as Ning Liu was awkwardly hiding this hot potato, the atmosphere on the auction stage gradually calmed down from the previous frenzy.
DouDou stood on the stage, her smile still sweet and charming.
She clapped her hands gently, drawing everyone's attention back to the center of the stage.
"Distinguished guests, the auction just now was truly spectacular, and I'm sure you were all quite excited."
"Now, let's calm down a bit and take a look at our ninth lot."
Her voice carried a strange, soothing power, gradually silencing the noisy discussions in the hall.
A maid carried a tray covered with a red cloth and gracefully walked onto the stage.
Judging from the outline of the tray, the items on it are not large and appear quite small.
"What kind of treasure is it this time?"
"Judging from this, it shouldn't be a big thing like a soul bone or a soul tool."
"Could it be some kind of rare elixir?"
"If I remember correctly, Liuli Heaven also auctioned off pills before!"
The crowd's curiosity was piqued once again. The impact of the previous item was so strong that they were filled with anticipation for this ninth item.
With a gentle wave of her delicate hand, DouDou unveiled the red cloth.
On the tray lay a small white jade bottle, no bigger than the palm of your hand.
The small bottle had a smooth and delicate texture, and was pure white. The bottle was engraved with intricate and exquisite cloud patterns, and it shimmered with a soft glow under the light.
The bottle opening is sealed with a jade stopper of the same material. The entire bottle does not look like a container, but rather like a work of art carefully crafted by a master, exuding an indescribable elegance.
"What a beautiful bottle!"
"This bottle alone must be worth a fortune, right?"
"What exactly is inside? Surely the Heavenly Dou Auction House wouldn't try to fool us with an empty bottle?"
The discussions below the stage were filled with speculation.
DouDou picked up the small white jade bottle, showed it to everyone, and then smiled and spoke in a clear and melodious voice.
"Distinguished guests, what's in this bottle isn't a magic pill or a deadly poison, but rather a... seasoning."
"condiment?"
The moment that word was uttered, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
Everyone was stunned, thinking they had misheard.
Are you kidding me? The ninth item in the final stage of the Tian Dou Royal Auction House is actually a bottle of condiment?
Salt? Sugar? Or pepper?
"Miss DouDou, you're not kidding, are you? This is the Heavenly Dou Auction House!"
A Soul Emperor-level expert couldn't help but ask loudly, his tone full of absurdity.
"That's right! I paid a high price to come here, not to watch you sell a bottle of soy sauce!"
A burst of laughter erupted in the hall, instantly turning the tense and solemn atmosphere into something somewhat comical.
Despite the crowd's doubts, DouDou's smile remained unchanged. She calmly raised the small bottle and said in a tone tinged with mystery and admiration:
"Please be patient, everyone. What if I told you that this condiment comes from the realm of the gods?"
The realm of gods!
The laughter in the room stopped abruptly as soon as those two words were uttered.
DouDou looked at everyone's reactions with satisfaction and continued to announce the answer.
Its name is "the salt of true taste".
"This substance is a special seasoning created by a third-level deity in the divine realm, known as the 'God of Taste,' who, while tasting a dish he found bland and tasteless, impulsively used his own divine power to create it."
Taste?
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances; the divine realm truly did contain all sorts of gods.
However, salt condensed from divine power? That sounds extraordinary.
When DouDou opened the jade plug, nothing extraordinary happened, nor did any rich fragrance waft out.
She simply tilted the bottle slightly, allowing everyone to see the crystal-clear white particles inside, like stardust.
"I'm sure everyone is very curious about its effects."
DouDou's voice was incredibly alluring.
"Its description is just one sentence: No matter how unpalatable the food is, just a small pinch can bring out the most original and ultimate deliciousness of the ingredients."
She paused, giving everyone room to imagine.
"For example, sprinkle a little on a piece of the driest, hardest black bread, and the moment you put it in your mouth, you will taste the sweetness of wheat growing in the sun and swaying in the breeze."
"For example, in the most bitter medicinal soup, just one pill will make all the bitterness disappear, and in its place will be the purest essence of each of the herbs, sweet and lingering."
"It doesn't change the food itself; it's just a trigger, a key, to unlock the ultimate code of your taste buds, allowing you to taste the most authentic and purest flavors in the world."
