After DouDou finished speaking, she even forgot to ask, "Is there a higher price?" and forgot to raise the auction gavel.
The entire auction hall was completely silent at that moment.
Before he could even finish speaking, the starting bid of five million was immediately raised to fifty million.
ten times.
This attitude speaks for itself.
After a brief silence, whispers rose up like a tide.
"Hiss... Fifty million! To buy a support-type spirit herb?"
"Are you crazy?! Which sucker is so rich?"
"Who else could it be? I can't think of anyone other than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"That's right. Only they would value such a magical herb that can evolve a support-type martial soul so much."
"Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, is he here in person?"
The discussions were filled with amazement at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's immense wealth.
Inside a secluded VIP room, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Bibi Dong sat upright, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
The beautiful tulip, 100,000 years old.
It may allow treasure-type martial souls, especially support-type treasure-type martial souls, to evolve.
These words swirled in her mind.
If Ning Fengzhi obtains this item, his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul will break through its limitations, evolving from seven treasures to eight treasures, or even nine treasures...
The consequences...
With Ning Fengzhi providing stronger attribute boosts and potentially even entirely new support abilities, the combat power that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo can unleash will undoubtedly reach a new level.
So, what's the Spirit Hall's plan...?
"His Holiness the Pope?"
Salas, who was standing nearby, sensed that something was wrong and spoke cautiously.
Bibi Dong didn't look at him; her slender fingers lightly tapped the price increase meter in front of her.
The numbers on the soul guide screen jumped slightly.
Fifty-one million gold soul coins.
"Um?"
Salas was somewhat puzzled.
Why did His Holiness the Pope bid for this magical herb?
It seems that none of the important figures in the Spirit Hall possess a support-type treasure-type spirit, and urgently need to evolve it.
But he didn't ask any more questions. He believed that the Pope must have her reasons for doing so.
On the auction stage, DouDou had just recovered from her shock and was about to make an announcement.
"Fifty-one million!"
"My God! Someone actually raised the price!"
An uproar erupted once again in the auction hall.
"No way? A price of fifty million, and someone actually bid?"
"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the one that offered 50 million just now, then who is this one...?"
"Could it be one of the other two of the three upper sects? The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan? Or the Clear Sky Sect?"
"It doesn't seem likely. Their need for support-type immortal herbs shouldn't be that urgent."
"How strange, how strange, today's auction is getting more and more interesting."
Inside the VIP room.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the extra million and smiled.
He turned his head and spoke gently to Ning Liu.
"Ning Liu, this Qiluo tulip was an unexpected delight."
"Now that it has appeared, I will naturally take it down."
"As for the money from this auction, it will eventually come back to you."
"So, it doesn't matter how much I give."
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he looked at the auction stage again, calmly entered a number on the bidding device in front of him.
The numbers on the Soul Guidance screen were jumping wildly.
Then, the frame freezes.
"One...one hundred million?!"
DouDou stared at the number, her eyes wide open, and she almost bit her tongue.
She blinked hard to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
The entire auction hall fell completely silent.
Everyone seemed frozen in place, staring blankly at the number.
One hundred million Gold Soul Coins.
What does this mean?
The annual tax revenue of the Heaven Dou Empire is only a few hundred million.
This is no longer just about being rich and powerful.
This is truly a fortune comparable to that of a nation!
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...it's terrifying!"
Someone swallowed hard, their voice hoarse.
"No one else could pull off this feat but them."
"It seems that the Qiluo Tulip is definitely theirs."
In another VIP room.
Prince Xue Xing of the Heavenly Dou Empire had a face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
His eyes flashed with a cold light of jealousy and resentment.
"One hundred million..."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out those two words.
These powerful clans and sects truly controlled the vast majority of the empire's wealth and resources.
Even the royal family, seemingly incomparably noble and with all-powerful connections, are not immune to such influence.
In reality, how many Gold Soul Coins can be mobilized?
Compared to these long-established powers, the royal family's foundation is still quite weak.
On the auction stage, DouDou finally found her voice again, though it was still trembling slightly.
"One...one hundred million gold soul coins!"
"This distinguished guest has offered one hundred million gold soul coins!"
"Is there...is there a higher price?"
When she asked that question, she herself felt it was somewhat unnecessary.
One hundred million gold soul coins is already an astronomical figure.
Who else can do it? Who else can raise the price?
The room fell silent.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.
Inside the private room where Bibi Dong was, Salas's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
One hundred million.
He looked at Bibi Dong and found that His Holiness the Pope was just sitting quietly, showing no intention of raising the price.
Clearly, this price exceeded her expectations.
Or rather, it's not worth paying such a huge price to stop Ning Fengzhi.
Just as DouDou was about to pick up the auction gavel and deliver the final blow.
A sudden change has occurred!
A figure, swift as a ghost, rushed from an inconspicuous corner straight towards the brightly lit auction platform.
It was a tall, burly man, his entire body shrouded in a large black cloak, obscuring his face.
He was extremely fast and had a clear objective.
It was the very same 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip on the auction stage, radiating an alluring glow!
"Who goes there?!"
"Robbery!"
The guards inside the auction hall were the first to react, shouting angrily as they tried to stop them.
However, the man in black was too fast.
In the blink of an eye, he was already close to the auction stage.
"It's him!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
"It's him again! That man in black!"
"I remember now! He's the one who stole that bottle of the Water of Life at the last auction!"
"What? It was him!"
"They're incredibly audacious! They robbed us and got away unscathed last time, and now they dare to come back again!"
The room erupted in chaos.
However, most people had expressions on their faces that suggested they were enjoying the spectacle.
"This is going to be good!"
"The people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are probably furious!"
"I wonder if this powerful man in black robes will be able to succeed again!"
