"Palace Master Xiao, long time no see."
After entering the auction house, Xiao Mu sat directly in the front row of the auction house on the first floor. On his right was still the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's face immediately broke into a smile when Xiao Mu arrived.
"Master Ning, long time no see."
Don't hit a smiling person. Among the three major sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the only sect that has been extremely respectful to the Soul Palace from beginning to end. Xiao Mu also rarely responded to it with a polite smile.
If all the sects were so sensible and obedient, how wonderful would that be? He wouldn't have to go on such a killing spree.
Seeing Xiao Mu's smile, Ning Fengzhi became even more enthusiastic.
"Palace Master Xiao, I heard that the Soul Palace needs some materials. It just so happens that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect recently acquired a batch. After the auction, I will have my disciples deliver it to the Soul Palace."
Xiao Mu nodded.
This is not just a coincidence, it is clearly catering to his preferences.
The Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect don't know how to learn from this. What's the point of saving face? If you had half the flattery skills of Ning Fengzhi, you wouldn't be so annoying.
"Thank you very much, Sect Master Ning. I will accept the materials without hesitation."
"Palace Master Xiao, that's not right. It's an honor for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to be able to provide you with some assistance."
What is the art of language? Those materials are worth a lot of money, but Ning Fengzhi gave them to them without even blinking, and looked very happy.
Ning Rongrong was sitting next to Ning Fengzhi. At this moment, Ning Rongrong was looking at her father with extremely shocked eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, Ning Fengzhi has always been calm and composed no matter who he faces. Although he is an auxiliary soul master, he can handle both strong enemies and friends with ease.
However, Ning Fengzhi's flattery towards Xiao Mu made Ning Rongrong almost think that her father had become a different person.
Looking past Ning Fengzhi's body, Ning Rongrong saw Xiao Mu's profile.
After returning to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong had never failed to hear the name of the Soul Palace. She also took two Soul Palace elixirs.
At the second pill auction, Ning Fengzhi bought a third-level three-patterned soul-breaking pill for her, allowing her to successfully break through to level 30.
But after seeing her father's attitude towards the Soul Palace today, Ning Rongrong intuitively felt how powerful the Soul Palace was. It was so powerful that even the leader of one of the three major sects had to please it.
"Look at Ning Fengzhi's fawning attitude. Being ranked among the top three sects alongside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is a huge shame."
Also in the front row, at the edge, Yu Yuanzhen sneered and taunted in a low voice.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan needs to pay ten times the price to bid for the Soul Palace's auction items.
But they are still from the top three sects after all. Once they come, whether they can buy things is one thing, and whether they are allowed in is another. The Tiandou City Auction House will not be bold enough to turn them away.
Yu Luomian could hardly hold back and started arguing with Yu Yuanzhen.
You even mocked the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If you had half of Ning Fengzhi's skills and half of his wisdom in dealing with people, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect wouldn't have ended up like this.
Yu Luomian recalled the mysterious man that Yu Yuanzhen met alone, and felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
No, we must find out what this idiot big brother wants to do. We can't let him kill everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.
"Palace Master Xiao, Qinghe greets you."
Qian Renxue arrived just before the auction was about to begin.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is also interested in spirit bones?"
Xiao Mu had a faint smile on his face.
Qian Renxue was fooled by Qian Qiusui for a while, and now she is considered half a member of the Soul Palace. It is quite interesting to meet him again.
Qian Renxue lowered her head somewhat uncomfortably. This was the third time she had met Xiao Mu, but this time her status was almost that of a subordinate, and it seemed like they were just making a contact.
The lights in the auction hall were on and everyone gathered around the auction table.
Xu Yunchang was still the one presiding over the auction. Other auctioneers did not have the qualifications or the courage to preside over the Soul Palace auction.
"Sorry for the long wait, everyone. I'm sure everyone knows what's on offer at today's auction."
There were many people sitting below whom Xu Yunchang could not afford to offend, so he did not dare to keep the discussion in suspense as usual, but went straight to the point.
He carefully took out an antique wooden box.
The moment the wooden box appeared, it attracted almost everyone's attention.
When Xiao Mu handed the soul bone to Xu Yunchang, he just threw it away casually, as if it were a few stones, without any packaging at all.
This box was actually provided by the auction house. After all, it was a soul bone auction, so there had to be some sense of ceremony.
This box is not an ordinary wooden box. It has the function of isolating energy and is suitable for holding soul bones.
Being stared at by so many burning gazes, especially those from Soul Douluo and even Titled Douluo, Xu Yunchang's hands were shaking a little.
Xu Yunchang opened the box, and a light red light emanated from the box, accompanied by a strange energy.
The moment the soul bone appeared, Xu Yunchang clearly felt that many burning gazes became covetous and aggressive.
"Hmph~"
Xiao Mu hummed softly, and the power of his soul spread out along with the sound, like a basin of cold water poured on an almost fanatical person.
The person who was about to make a move immediately calmed down.
This is the soul bone sent by the Soul Palace for auction. Even the Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect died at the hands of the Soul Palace. If they are confused for a moment and dare to do irrational things.
Many people got a chill.
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't completely lose my mind.
Feeling that the madness in these eyes had subsided a lot, Xu Yunchang coughed and said:
"This soul bone is a left arm bone from a 3,600-year-old pink lady. The starting price is one million. You can bid now."
Xu Yunchang did not explain what kind of soul beast the Pink Lady was. Anyone who could enter the auction house today would definitely not be unaware of the Pink Lady.
If it really exists, it is not worthy of participating in the auction.
As soon as Xu Yunchang finished speaking, bids came one after another.
"One million and one hundred thousand."
"One million and two hundred thousand."
"One million and a half."
In just over ten seconds, the price reached over two million.
Three people also came from the Haotian Sect, namely the Sect Master Tang Hao, the Second Elder and the Third Elder.
However, they were still sitting in the back row, and at this moment they were completely reduced to spectators.
Tang Hao led the Li Clan to rob people on the road, and they did get a lot of money. However, with the deaths of Tang Hao and Tai Tan, all the ill-gotten gains were accepted by the Soul Palace.
Listening to these people's bidding, the three people from Haotian Sect who were present felt extremely uncomfortable.
"If we can get the gold soul coins that Tai Tan and the others have 'collected', we can also compete for soul bones." The third elder said jealously.
The second elder even asked, "Sect Master, Tang Hao is dead. Where are his soul bones? He had three thousand-year soul bones passed down from the Haotian Sect, and he himself had also obtained a few soul bones."
The competition for thousand-year soul bones is so fierce, not to mention the value of ten-thousand-year soul bones.
Tang Xiao closed his eyes and sighed.
"Gone, all gone. All the soul bones in Hao's body have been dug out."
