🕑 Added 2025-03-11 10:00:10 +0000 UTC
The starting price is 50 million gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 5 million gold soul coins.
The people In the hall were already numb to the price. They couldn’t afford it anyway, so they might as well wait and see what price the big dog owners in the private rooms would eventually offer.
“60 million gold soul coins!” The VIP in Room 3 spoke first.
“80 million gold soul coins!” The VIP in private room No. 2 was not to be outdone.
“90 million gold soul coins!” Private Room No. 3 refused to give an inch.
“One hundred million gold soul coins!” Private Room No. 4, which had only cost 50 million gold soul coins in the previous round, now directly offered a price of 100 million.
“…”
There was silence for a moment.
At this time in private room No. 2, a young man was staring at the quotation displayed on the screen with flickering eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
This young man is the crown prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire. Of course, this is just a nominal identity. In fact, the real crown prince Xue Qinghe had already been assassinated.
The current prince Is played by Qian Renxue, the daughter of the Spirit Hall Pope, whose purpose is to usurp the throne of the Tiandou Empire.
Qian Renxue was considering whether to take the soul bone. Her current status as the crown prince represented the Tiandou Empire. Therefore, she didn’t have to worry about the funds. After all, such a big country lacked everything except gold soul coins. She could cast as many of these as she wanted.
Given the preciousness of soul bones, it is worth spending as much gold soul coins as possible. After all, this is a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation.
If Qian Renxue was really the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, she might have spared no effort to get this soul bone today. But unfortunately, she was not the real crown prince, but just an imposter. So, apart from strengthening Tiandou’s strength, getting this soul bone would not benefit her in any way.
After all, even if he could take a picture of this soul bone, it would never belong to him as the crown prince. It would only be given to other qualified people by the royal family.
Therefore, Qian Renxue’s attitude towards this soul bone is dispensable. She is just pretending. Now there are two other forces competing with her, so the next step is to see which force gets the soul bone and it will be beneficial to her.
As Prince Xue Qinghe, he naturally knew exactly who was inside the private rooms 3 and 4 who were currently bidding against him.
The VIP guest in Room 3 is a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall.
The VIP in Room 4 was the nobles who came from the Star Luo Empire, the Nether Spirit Cat Zhu family. Of course, sometimes the Zhu family actually represented the royal family. After all, the two families were almost wearing the same pants, and there was no difference between the Zhu family and the royal Dai family.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue decided that she couldn’t let the Star Luo Empire in Box 4 get this soul bone. It would be best if this soul bone fell into the hands of the Spirit Hall.
So next, Qian Renxue made another offer: 105 million gold soul coins!
She acted as if she was a little short of funds.
Although the Tiandou Empire can theoretically produce as many gold soul coins as it wants, this is only theoretically true. In reality, we have to consider various impacts, such as the impact of the flood of gold soul coins on prices, and other factors.
Although the country is nominally owned by the royal family, even the royal family cannot use the country’s resources without limit, because money is indispensable in maintaining the operation of a country.
Buying soul bones is a private matter of the royal family, so naturally they cannot spend too much gold soul coins. So in fact, the money that can be spent on buying soul bones as the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is also limited. It cannot exceed a certain limit.
As for how high this limit is, it depends on how high she sets it. Anyway, when she fails to bid for this soul bone, when Emperor Tiandou asks about it, she will use the excuse that: “I thought that using these gold soul coins is already the limit. Any more will cause serious damage and shake the foundation of the empire.” This excuse will definitely work.
“One hundred and thirty million gold soul coins!” Box No. 4 directly raised the price by more than twenty million, as if it was determined to win.
“One hundred and forty million gold soul coins!” The Spirit Hall in Box No. 3 was not willing to be outdone and added another 10 million.
This time, there was no further offer for Box No. 2.
Box No. 4 also seemed shocked by the price.
In fact, the price of this head soul bone at the auction is already a bit inflated.
It’s not that they can’t afford to pay more, but they are considering whether it is worth it.
“The VIP in Box 3 bids 140 million gold soul coins!”
Seeing the silence at the scene, the old Soul Douluo immediately raised the hammer in his hand and began to count: “One hundred and forty million gold soul coins, once.”
All the boxes were silent and no one responded.
“One hundred and forty million gold soul coins! Twice.”
The Soul Douluo tried to slow down the pace, but seeing that the others still didn’t react, he could only shout for the third time.
“One hundred and forty million gold soul coins! No. 3…”
Before he finished speaking, Box No. 4 seemed to be unable to hold back and quoted a price again.
“One hundred and forty-five million gold soul coins!”
This time, only 5 million gold soul coins were added. It is conceivable that this price is already close to the limit.
“The VIP in VIP Room 4 bid 145 million gold soul coins!” The old Soul Douluo said excitedly, “Are there any other VIPs who want to bid? If not, 145 million gold soul coins, once!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Box No. 3, which belonged to the Spirit Hall, directly raised the price again.
“One hundred and fifty million gold soul coins!”
At this point, everyone was silent.
In fact, even if a 60,000-year-old head soul bone could only be auctioned for 100 million gold soul coins, it would already be a very high price. Now 150 million gold soul coins is definitely much higher. Except for the two wealthy empires and the soul master’s holy land, the Spirit Hall, even other major sects and forces could not afford such a price.
“One hundred and fifty million gold soul coins! Once!”
“One hundred and fifty million gold soul coins! Twice!”
The old Soul Douluo wanted to use the same trick again, but this time the people in the other boxes didn’t make any movement.
Helplessly, he could only reluctantly shout out the third time, “One hundred and fifty million gold soul coins! Three times!”
As the auctioneer’s hammer fell.
“Boom!”
“make a deal!”
“Congratulations to the guest in VIP Room No. 3 for successfully bidding for this precious 60,000-year-old head soul bone!”
Box No. 1.
Ye Cheng found it unbelievable when he saw the last piece of head soul bone was sold at a sky-high price of 150 million gold soul coins. It seemed that it was a wise choice to auction the soul bone at the auction house.
If the auction house hadn’t been hyping it up during this period of time and hadn’t sent out invitations to those truly wealthy people, it would have been impossible for three soul bones to be auctioned at such a high price.
The auction Is over.
Others left one after another.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the box.
Among the five sisters, Yotsuba was closer and went straight over to open the door.
The old Soul Douluo walked in with a red face, and then handed over a golden card with both hands respectfully, “Your Excellency, here are the gold soul coins obtained from this auction, 230.1 million.”
Ye Cheng did not reach out to take it, but just said calmly: “Full payment, what do you mean?”
According to the rules of the auction house, the auction house would charge 10% as commission for anything auctioned here. That means that of the more than 230 million he sold for soul bones, at least 20 to 30 million would be taken away by the auction house.
But now the gold card with full payment was handed to him, which made him a little confused.
“Your Excellency is joking.”
The Soul Douluo elder smiled and said respectfully, “It is our honor that you can hand over such a precious soul bone to our auction house for auction. How dare we do that regarding the commission.”
The biggest gainer of this soul bone auction that made a sensation on the continent was not Ye Cheng, but the auction house itself. Because he used the huge gimmick of auctioning soul bones to firmly bring Tiandou Auction House to the top and firmly sit on the throne of the first auction house on the continent!
This kind of rise in fame and status cannot be compared with mere gold soul coins. Therefore, the auction house dare not deduct his gold soul coins, for fear of offending this big boss. It is better to do a favor and waive this part of the commission. Make friends with this big boss.
Seeing that the old Soul Douluo master said so, Ye Cheng could only accept the gold card. The auction house also gave him the items he had bought before for free. The five twin sisters were also given to him.
When they walked out of the auction house, there were five more beautiful girls around Master Ye Cheng and his apprentice. They looked exactly the same, but each had their own unique temperament.
This trip was really rewarding!
