"I'll offer five hundred!"
"One thousand gold soul coins! That's the most I can give. After all, it's just a manuscript; you can't eat it or use it!"
Most of the people bidding were either there to watch the excitement or out of curiosity.
Very few people actually have any expectations for it.
As Yu Xiaogang listened to these bids, his expression grew increasingly calm.
However, a hint of melancholy would occasionally flash in those deep eyes.
These theories are the culmination of his life's work, yet at this moment, they are being judged at such a price in the eyes of the public.
Just when everyone thought it was just a farce that would end at a neither-too-high-nor-low price, an old voice came.
"I offer ten thousand gold soul coins!"
Inside the private room.
The person who made the offer was none other than Long Gong Meng Shu.
Upon hearing this, the snake spirit, Chaotianxiang, nudged him gently with her elbow and whispered:
"Old man, what are you doing? Ten thousand gold soul coins is no small amount."
Long Gong Meng Shu chuckled and lowered his voice.
"Old woman, you don't understand."
"Although the master himself was not very capable, his theories did have some unique aspects."
"Ten thousand gold soul coins to buy this rare manuscript, and then have the family members make hundreds or thousands of copies, selling each copy for tens or hundreds of gold soul coins, wouldn't that be a sure-fire way to make money?"
"Moreover, if there are any subtleties within it that our Meng family's younger generations can comprehend, that would be an even greater surprise!"
Upon hearing this, the Snake Woman suddenly realized what was going on and gave the Dragon King a reproachful look.
"You old codger, you've got a sharp mind!"
On the auction stage, DouDou smiled more when she saw that someone had finally offered a decent price.
"Ten thousand gold soul coins! This distinguished guest has bid ten thousand gold soul coins!"
"Are there any higher prices?"
He looked around the room, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation.
However, all she received in response was silence.
"Ten thousand gold soul coins, for the first time!"
"Ten thousand gold soul coins, for the second time!"
"Ten thousand gold soul coins, for the third time!"
clang!
The auction gavel slammed down with a crisp sound.
"make a deal!"
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for successfully bidding on this 'Manuscript of the Essentials of Martial Soul Cultivation'!"
Then, DouDou's voice continued, announcing the official end of the auction.
"Thank you for your presence and support tonight!"
"Guests who have successfully bid on the items are requested to come to the backstage of our Qibao Auction House tomorrow morning to complete the handover procedures."
"Qibao Auction House looks forward to your next visit!"
As DouDou bowed in farewell, the guests began to leave one after another.
Inside the venue, Ning Rongrong looked at Ning Liu with some confusion.
"Senior brother, is it really over just like that?"
"Is that tattered book really worth 10,000 gold soul coins? And it's the final item up for auction."
Ning Liu did not answer directly, because at that moment, the system's notification sounded in his mind right on time.
[Ding! The tenth auction item, "Yu Xiaogang's 'Manuscript of the Essentials of Martial Soul Cultivation'", has been successfully auctioned for 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.]
[Special Event Triggered: Dramatic Changes in the Soul Master World (Beginner Level)!]
[Event Description: Due to the acquisition and widespread publication of the "Manuscript on the Essentials of Martial Soul Cultivation" auctioned by the host by the Dragon-Snake Clan, some of Yu Xiaogang's Soul Master theories will rapidly spread throughout the continent.]
[Expected Impact: Within the next three years, at least 10% of low-level Soul Masters (Soul Venerable and below) will experience a slight increase in cultivation speed due to the theories in the manuscript; at least 1% of Soul Masters will gain positive inspiration when trying to combine Soul Rings or understand Martial Soul characteristics, slightly increasing their probability of breaking through bottlenecks.]
[Negative Impact: Due to the advanced and incomplete nature of some theories in the manuscript, and the misunderstandings of some Soul Masters, it is estimated that 0.5% of Soul Masters will misinterpret or blindly apply the theories, leading to deviations in their cultivation, stagnation or even regression in their Soul Power advancement. Simultaneously, some traditional Soul Master factions will question and resist numerous emerging theories, sparking academic disputes.]
Ning Liu listened to the system's prompt, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.
The reason this manuscript is being auctioned is not because of its direct utility, but because of the chain reaction it can trigger.
The system then prompted:
[Randomly returning a multiplier.]
[Congratulations, host, you have received a ten-thousand-fold return, and have obtained...]
