The Black-Clothed Person below the stage immediately asked.
"Elder Qian, what is this? My realm actually improved."
The Gray-Clothed Person Mo Long didn't expect this somewhat arrogant young man to take out something so heaven-defying; just by smelling it, his bottleneck started to loosen. He estimated that he wouldn't be able to obtain such a thing with his own ability, so he quietly took out his spirit tool for communication and contacted the experts of the Mo Family.
The slender woman was Yulina, the branch president of Spirit Hall in this area, with the strength of a Spirit Douluo. The scent emanating from the mysterious object in the bottle caused her bottleneck to loosen slightly.
It was imaginable that if she could obtain this mysterious object, she would definitely be able to reach the Title Douluo rank.
She had already picked up her spirit tool and began contacting the Title Douluo of Spirit Hall in nearby large cities, requesting support.
Tang Xu also smelled the scent, and his not-high cultivation directly increased by one level. Instantly, his eyes lit up.
This thing is good stuff.
"Elder Qian, quickly Auction it, Auction it."
Many ordinary Soul Masters whose cultivation had improved shouted out.
"Auction it!"
"I want to get a little bit."
"Don't just stand there!"
Elder Qian frowned slightly. This was a bit troublesome. Such a divine treasure definitely couldn't be auctioned here. In fact, he really wanted to keep this divine treasure for himself, but there was one problem.
That was, it had already been seen by so many people, so secretly keeping it was no longer possible. The other option was for him to buy it.
He was a core director of the Auction, but he didn't have the right to claim it for himself.
Zhuge Lan, who was beside him, saw Elder Qian still in a daze and said helplessly.
"Elder Qian, if you don't want it, I'll take it."
With that, Zhuge Lan was about to take it, but Elder Qian directly pushed his hand away and said.
"This divine treasure, our Auction wants it. Name your price."
Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment. For such a treasure, he wasn't sure of its exact value, but it was definitely much more valuable than a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone. Moreover, the Auction's price reduction was too severe, so it was better to conduct an Auction.
An Auction can maximize the value of an item.
"Auction it!"
Elder Qian's heart tightened, and he quickly whispered.
"This Auction is a bit small, so we won't Auction it here. How about this, I'll give you the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone and an additional ten million gold coins? How about that?"
Zhuge Lan was overjoyed. So this [Divine Silver Capital Divine Oil] was so valuable. He definitely had to extort a lot.
"A ten-thousand-year Soul Bone is a small matter, I want fifty million."
"Fifty million?"
Elder Qian was startled. Even if he turned this entire Auction upside down, he wouldn't have fifty million. As for whether this treasure was worth fifty million, he felt it was close. It might not be worth that much in his hands.
But in the hands of some important figures, it would be worth more than fifty million.
Since it was bargaining, fifty million was not acceptable.
"Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, plus fifteen million."
"No deal."
Zhuge Lan secretly cursed Elder Qian for being cunning. As soon as he opened his mouth, the price dropped by half. He was really good at bargaining!
Elder Qian thought for a moment.
"Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, plus fifteen million, plus a zero-dollar voucher."
Zhuge Lan was puzzled.
"What is a zero-dollar voucher?"
Elder Qian explained.
"You can use a zero-dollar voucher to bid on any item at the Auction, for example, our reserved items. You can bid on them for zero dollars, even if you insure them for thirty million, you can buy them for zero dollars."
Zhuge Lan knew that this was a bit exaggerated. He guessed that this Auction house couldn't possibly have goods worth thirty million, but he estimated that this should be Elder Qian's bottom line. After all, a cash flow of ten million for an Auction was already very good.
It was time to stop.
"Okay."
Elder Qian was overjoyed. He had gotten a great bargain this time. Although this was almost everything he could give, if the other party wanted more, he would have to resort to some crooked methods.
The ten-thousand-year Soul Bone and a golden zero-dollar voucher were given to Zhuge Lan.
After Zhuge Lan received them, he put them back into his spirit tool storage bag, then took out a gold card.
When Elder Qian transferred the money, he said helplessly.
"Kid, your gold card only has a five million limit. How about this! I'll give you a black card with a thirty million limit. How about that?"
Zhuge Lan secretly rejoiced. This was a good thing, so he nodded.
Elder Qian reluctantly handed Zhuge Lan a black card. After Zhuge Lan checked it, he found that there was indeed fifteen million inside. These were all gold coins! He was too rich.
Elder Qian carefully placed the [Divine Silver Capital Divine Oil] into his spirit tool, then called Lin Tao over, gave her some instructions, and left.
Zhuge Lan, with the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone and a huge sum of money, returned to his seat.
Then he took out the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone and gave it to Dugu Bo.
After Dugu Bo received the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, his face was filled with excitement and gratitude.
"Thank you, Zhuge Lan."
Zhuge Lan smiled. Gaining a hundred-year Title Douluo as a helper was more important than anything else.
On the stage, the beautiful Lin Tao was unsure why Elder Qian had given her the hosting task, but as a part of the Auction, she would manage it well.
So she looked at the list and had several Soul Masters push over a cage. Faint tiger roars could be heard from the cage.
She opened the cage, and inside was a somewhat listless thousand-year Spirit Beast, a Cangbei Tiger.
"Now, we will Auction a thousand-year Spirit Beast, the Cangbei Tiger."
The Black-Clothed Person below the stage saw Elder Qian leave and Lin Tao, the beauty, take over the Auction. The intention was clear: that old fellow had left with the treasure.
His strength was limited, and being able to improve his cultivation was already very good.
So, he shouted.
"I bid one thousand gold coins."
The Gray-Clothed Person Mo Long secretly cursed that it was bad. Elder Qian had actually run off with that peerless treasure. He wanted to covet it, but there was nothing he could do against a Title Douluo.
Afterward, he set his sights on Zhuge Lan below the stage.
Elder Qian, a Title Douluo, couldn't be provoked, but an unknown young fellow with a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone in his hands couldn't escape. The family Spirit Douluo he contacted was already on the way.
Yulina of Spirit Hall looked at the departing Elder Qian and secretly cursed, "Damn it." The ten-thousand-year Soul Bone was dispensable to her and Spirit Hall, but the peerless treasure Elder Qian took away was a must-have for Spirit Hall.
She had already contacted a Title Douluo, but Elder Qian's departure put her in a very passive position, so she also had to leave.
Tang Xu was very displeased to see Zhuge Lan get the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, but thinking that he could get ten million, he felt a little better.
After a while, several staff members walked in.
Then they gave Tang Xu an IOU for eight million, to be repaid within a year, or it could be used to buy things at the Auction house.
His face instantly darkened.
Zhuge Lan looked at Lin Tao on the stage; she was truly beautiful! Especially those smooth, jade-like long legs, they were truly stunning.
What he didn't know was that because all the cash in the Auction had been given to him, Tang Xu only received an IOU.
