"Ten million gold soul coins!"
It was Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
She leaned back lazily in the chair of the private room, her purple eyes calm and undisturbed.
It seems that ten million gold soul coins was just a number she casually mentioned.
The atmosphere in Dai Mubai's private room suddenly became tense.
He had just been slightly pleased with the eight million offer, but now he was overwhelmed by this even higher price.
He noticed a fleeting longing in Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes.
"Zhuqing, don't worry."
Dai Mubai lowered his voice.
"I'm determined to have this Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones!"
He took a deep breath and pressed hard on the price increase button.
"Fifteen million gold soul coins!"
DouDou's voice rang out again, tinged with a barely perceptible excitement.
"This distinguished guest has offered fifteen million! Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
An additional five million in one go!
"This is insane! Absolutely insane! This price increase is almost equivalent to the price of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!"
"Just who is this person, with such great wealth and power?"
Inside the private room where Bibi Dong was, upon hearing the price, a faint smile curved her exquisite lips.
"That's interesting."
Salas, standing to the side, chuckled:
"Your Holiness, everyone says that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is as rich as a country, but how do people know that my Spirit Hall is not also wealthy?"
Bibi Dong did not respond to Salas, but spoke again in a low voice, which spread throughout the entire venue through the soul-guided amplification device.
"Twenty million gold soul coins."
An eerie silence fell over the entire auction hall, followed by an even more intense murmur of discussion.
"Twenty million! My God!"
"Who exactly is making the bid? This is the first time I've seen a 100,000-year-old spiritual herb, but compared to that, at least a soul bone can be passed down, while this spiritual herb is gone once it's consumed! It's a one-time consumable!"
"That's not how it works. A 100,000-year-old immortal herb is far more valuable than an ordinary soul bone."
"What if it leads to the evolution of the martial soul, and the evolved martial soul is passed down through bloodlines? Wouldn't the entire clan benefit from that in the future!"
At this moment, fine beads of sweat had already seeped out from Dai Mubai's forehead.
Twenty million—this figure has exceeded his initial estimate.
He suddenly turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes bloodshot.
"Zhuqing, I..."
Zhu Zhuqing gazed at him with her cool, clear eyes and spoke softly.
"Mu Bai, I told you from the beginning, where would we get that much money?"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"I have the money, of course!"
He leaned closer to Zhu Zhuqing, his voice extremely low, tinged with a hint of madness.
"Yesterday, I intercepted the supplies of a military camp on the border of the Heavenly Dou Empire!"
"My men have seized all the equipment and supplies for a total of 200,000 people!"
"I didn't hand over any of these things; I just exchanged them for gold soul coins!"
"Now that it's wartime, these military supplies can fetch a high price!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted, and all the color drained from her face.
"How...how could you do this?!"
Those are military supplies. Even if they were captured, using them on our side would be...
Moreover, that's military discipline!
Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by resolute determination.
"Otherwise what? Don't you understand our current situation?"
“My older brother and the others… Davis…”
He didn't say anything more, but Zhu Zhuqing understood everything from his eyes.
The royal power struggles within the Star Luo Empire are ruthless and merciless.
If they don't do everything in their power to become stronger, death is the only thing waiting for them.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded slightly.
"I see."
Dai Mubai's fighting spirit rekindled. He looked at the auction stage again and raised the bidding device in his hand.
"Twenty-five million gold soul coins!"
The price caused an uproar in the room.
DouDou's voice rose a few decibels with excitement:
"Twenty-five million! Is there anything higher? This is a hundred-thousand-year-old immortal-grade Narcissus Jade Bone!"
However, this time, he was met with an even more undeniable crushing defeat.
Inside the private room where Bibi Dong was, she seemed a little impatient.
"Fifty million gold soul coins."
She spoke softly.
"I have no patience to play games with you here."
Fifty million!
This number was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering the atmosphere in the entire auction hall to its peak!
"Fifty...fifty million?!"
"Did I hear that right? That's enough to buy a mid-sized chamber of commerce!"
"That's outrageous! Our entire family business's annual income probably doesn't even amount to a fraction of that!"
"Hehe, that's because your business isn't good enough. I have a business here that has already brought me five million in three years!"
"My goodness, five million in three years for one industry? What kind of industry makes so much money? Hey big shot, can you take me under your wing?"
......
Inside the main room, Ning Liu was also slightly taken aback.
Purchase a spiritual herb for 50 million gold soul coins.
This is quite a lavish gesture.
Who could it be?
Ning Liu couldn't help but ponder to himself.
However, he didn't dwell on it too much, since the system would refund the money as long as the auction was successful, regardless of who the buyer was.
The atmosphere in Dai Mubai's private room had dropped to freezing point.
