Ten million gold soul coins!
"This is insane! The starting bid is ten million! Is the Heavenly Dou royal family out of their minds, or is this thing really worth that much?"
"Comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul bone! Brother! A 100,000-year-old soul bone is priceless and unavailable. Don't mention 10 million, even 50 million, as long as it's available, people will fight tooth and nail to get it!"
"But this is ultimately just a soul tool, not a real soul bone! What does the royal family mean by putting something like this up for sale?"
"A test? Or a show of force?"
The noise nearly lifted the ceiling, and everyone's face was filled with shock, greed, and suspicion.
The nobles from other kingdoms or duchies had their own thoughts at this moment.
Inside the private room where the Star Luo Empire was located, a general with a composed demeanor had eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
He was sent here by Dai Mubai to keep a close eye on the Liuli Tian Auction.
The civil official beside him whispered:
"General, the Heavenly Dou royal family's actions are probably not just about money. They are demonstrating their strength and...power to the entire continent."
The general remained silent, his gaze shifting back and forth between the Vast Ocean Universe Cover on the stage and the Snow Night Emperor's private room, seemingly plotting something.
Representatives from some smaller principalities, however, looked troubled. They coveted the treasure but knew they lacked the financial resources to compete for it. Some were even considering whether to make a token offer to express their "admiration" and "loyalty" to the Tiandou royal family.
In their eyes, this was no longer a simple auction, but a complex political arena.
"Brother! Brother, did you see that?!"
Prince Xuexing's voice trembled with excitement.
"This is the prestige of our Heavenly Dou Royal Family! Starting bid is ten million! What other auction item on the entire continent can match that!"
Emperor Xueye simply nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on the surging crowd below.
This was exactly what he wanted to see.
"Eleven million gold soul coins!"
After a brief period of commotion, someone finally couldn't hold back and announced the first price.
The one who spoke was a wealthy businessman who clearly just wanted to join in the fun and get some good luck.
But his voice was like the fuse that lit a powder keg.
"Fifteen million!"
Ning Fengzhi's gentle voice came from the private room of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
He hadn't expected that Ning Liu's reason for asking them to temporarily stop and participate in this auction was actually this.
But what exactly is Ning Liu trying to do?
Will the Heaven Dou Empire also be drawn into the circle of the Glazed Heaven?
However, it's not that you can't buy it.
"Twenty million!" The Spirit Hall also joined the battle in a deep voice.
"Twenty-five million!"
Thirty million!
Prices skyrocketed, rising at a heart-stopping pace.
Every bid represents the determination of a powerful force.
DouDou stood on the stage with a charming smile on her face, but her auction gavel remained as steady as a mountain.
"Forty-eight million! A VIP has offered forty-eight million!"
"Fifty million!"
A slightly aged voice rang out, immediately pushing the price to a new level.
Inside the private room, Emperor Xueye looked at the stalemate below with a satisfied expression.
This price is more than enough to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family.
His gaze inadvertently swept over Ning Liu, who was calm and composed beside him, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Although this item originally belonged to the royal family, it has already been put up for auction by Ning Liu.
However, if they were to take the picture themselves and then conveniently present it to Ning Liu as a favor, they could save face for the royal family and gain Ning Liu's favor, achieving two goals at once, which would be perfect.
This deal is a great one!
With this in mind, Emperor Xueye had no more hesitation.
He picked up his teacup, gently skimmed off the foam with the lid, and began to speak.
"One hundred million."
"Buzz—"
After a brief silence came an uproar more violent than ever before!
"One...one hundred million? Did I hear that right?"
"I recognize it! This...this is the voice of Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire!"
"What? His Majesty actually participated personally! And he doubled the number of participants!"
Everyone went crazy. They couldn't understand why the Heavenly Dou Royal Family would put their own things up for auction and then buy them back at an exorbitant price.
What kind of operation is this? Transferring money from one hand to the other? Just to make a sound?
However, the representatives of the truly powerful forces remained silent at this moment.
They understood what Emperor Xueye meant.
Ning Fengzhi could only smile helplessly and shake his head.
"His Majesty has offered 100 million gold soul coins! Is there a higher offer?"
DouDou spoke up.
The entire room fell silent.
"One hundred million gold soul coins, for the first time!"
"One hundred million gold soul coins, for the second time!"
"One hundred million gold soul coins, for the third time!"
"clang!"
The auction gavel slammed down with a loud, crisp sound, bringing this frenzied bidding war to a close.
"Congratulations to our distinguished guest for successfully bidding on the Vast Ocean Universe Cover!"
In the private room, Prince Xuexing stared wide-eyed for a long time, looking at his elder brother and then at Ning Liu, his mind a complete mess.
Ning Liu's face remained expressionless at this moment.
Because, in his mind, a system notification was playing.
[Ding! The item "Vast Ocean Universe Cover" has been successfully auctioned for 100 million Gold Soul Coins, triggering a 100x return!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained—a divine gift: the Gaze of the Sea God!]
