Chapter 49: The Gold of Life
In fact, when Jiang Li was drawing lots earlier, he did indeed draw the Twin Soul Contract. At that time, he might have thought it was something unimportant just because of its name, so he skipped it.
But after he sorted through the items from the lottery yesterday, he realized the incredible power of this Twin Soul Contract.
The value of this Twin Soul Contract, to some extent, far surpasses the upcoming main auction item: the level 9 Soul Guidance Device.
The Soul Fusion skill is almost the most sought-after ability for all soul masters on the Douluo Continent.
Soul Fusion can merge the soul power and soul beasts of two parties. The stronger the individuals, the more powerful the resulting attack.
Two Ultimate Douluos using Soul Fusion can even threaten true God-level powerhouses.
Actually, in this lottery, Jiang Li won two Twin Soul Contracts.
One of them was brought out for the auction, while the other one, he planned to let Ling Yun and Lei Yao try it after the auction ended.
Although Ling Yun's martial soul is supportive, and Lei Yao's is a strong attack type, with the powerful "bug" of the Twin Soul Contract, their martial soul fusion will be guaranteed to succeed.
Jiang Li was very much looking forward to the result of Lei Yao and Ling Yun's martial soul fusion—how powerful it would be and who would dominate the fusion.
"60 million!"
When the auction officially began, Xu Jiawei from the Star Luo Empire raised his bidding paddle without hesitation. His gaze was determined as he understood the importance of the Twin Soul Contract to the Star Luo Empire.
If the Star Luo Empire could get it, they might be able to cultivate stronger soul masters and solidify the empire's position.
"70 million!"
Toxin Immortal from the Body Sect quickly followed suit. His face was filled with enthusiasm.
The Body Sect was very eager for the Soul Fusion skill, as using Body martial souls for fusion wasn't easy.
And since the Body martial soul's power was already quite strong, having two Body martial souls for Soul Fusion would create unimaginable power.
Toxin Immortal had made up his mind to secure this Twin Soul Contract.
"80 million!"
Jing Hongchen of the Mingde Hall coldly raised the price. His voice was emotionless.
Originally, he had planned to save his Gold Soul Coins for the final auction of the level 9 Soul Guidance Device.
But he didn't expect the Star Dou Auction House to bring out such an incredible item, the Twin Soul Contract, so he couldn't afford to miss it.
He understood very well the power of the Soul Fusion skill, like the "Red Dust Affection" that his grandson and granddaughter used together.
The power it unleashed amazed him.
"100 million!"
Zhong Liwu of the Spirit Hall coldly chuckled, directly raising the price to astronomical heights. His smile made people shiver, as if he were declaring to the other factions that the Spirit Hall would not easily give up the Twin Soul Contract.
However, this was just the beginning. The competition between the factions grew fiercer, and the price kept climbing, seemingly with no limit.
Di Tian's powerful intervention: "200 million."
A deep and authoritative voice rang out from the fourth floor, instantly silencing the entire room!
Everyone looked up, only to see Di Tian standing with his hands behind his back, his golden vertical pupils looking down on the entire hall like a king descending.
He emitted a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
"Who... is this person? How dare he directly double the bid?"
"I've never seen him before, is he an isolated powerhouse?"
"200 million Gold Soul Coins, this has far surpassed the price of the immortal herbs!"
The various factions were shocked, not expecting such a powerful figure to suddenly intervene, and to do so with such an incredible price.
But soon, the competition reignited.
"210 million!"
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School grit their teeth and raised their bid. They didn't want to give up this opportunity to strengthen their sect. Ning Qitian's face was filled with determination.
"250 million!"
Toxin Immortal from the Body Sect roared. His hands were tightly clenched, his veins bulging. He was determined to get the Twin Soul Contract.
However, Di Tian just smiled coldly, and his voice rang out again: "300 million."
The entire room gasped!
This had already exceeded the financial limits of most factions, and many representatives exchanged helpless looks.
"Di Tian, it seems we don't have this much Gold Soul Coins," Bi Ji reminded him at this point.
Before coming here, they had learned that the Star Dou Auction House traded in Gold Soul Coins. Some human soul masters had gone to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts but had failed and perished there.
During this time, they had sent many soul beasts to search for Gold Soul Coins, but they had only found one billion Gold Soul Coins.
Di Tian looked towards the equivalency exchange machine.
Although he had been disappointed by the first three auctions, he was keeping an eye on the bidding and knew that they could use some top-tier treasures to exchange for the required Gold Soul Coins.
So, Di Tian approached the equivalency exchange machine, flipped his palm, and a piece of emerald green crystal appeared. Its rich life force spread throughout the auction hall.
The life energy was so powerful that it made people feel like they were in a vibrant forest, rejuvenating their bodies and minds.
All the soul masters were drawn to the green crystal, subconsciously absorbing the life energy.
Everyone's hearts filled with curiosity. What kind of treasure was this?
"Could it be the Gold of Life?"
Jiang Li looked at the crystal that was releasing strong life energy, his heart filled with doubt.
He knew that the core area of the Star Dou Forest had a lot of the Gold of Life. It was a solid formed by vast life energy.
Although Di Tian only held a small piece of Gold of Life, it contained enormous life force.
Jiang Li also wanted to see how much Gold Soul Coins this small piece of Gold of Life could be exchanged for in the equivalency exchange machine.
When Di Tian placed the Gold of Life into the machine, a screen appeared, showing 1 billion Gold Soul Coins.
Upon seeing the value of the Gold of Life in Gold Soul Coins, everyone's faces were filled with shock, their expressions full of disbelief.
Such a small piece of crystal was worth 1 billion Gold Soul Coins. It was outrageous.
The entire hall was in an uproar!
"What?! A small piece is worth 1 billion?"
"What kind of treasure is this?!"
The crowd began to discuss, their curiosity piqued about the origin of the Gold of Life.
Di Tian coldly sneered and said, "Now, my bid is—400 million."
His voice was full of confidence and dominance, as if declaring that the Twin Soul Contract was his.
Jiang Li wasn't too surprised by this situation.
In his opinion, the value of the Gold of Life was far more than 1 billion Gold Soul Coins.
The Gold of Life could not be sought after casually!
It could be said that the entire Star Dou Forest may not have many pieces of the Gold of Life.
