In the black number one private room, Zhongli sipped his tea, his gaze shifting to the white area.
He noticed every change in Chen Xin's demeanor.
"Interesting..."
Zhongli murmured, anticipating the upcoming drama.
Without the Yearning Heartbroken Red to mask her aura, Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year spirit beast aura was entirely exposed.
In the eyes of a Titled Douluo, she couldn't hide at all.
You stand on the bridge to watch the scenery, while those watching the scenery look at you from the tower.
As Zhongli observed the "farce" in the white area, "Xue Qinghe's" gaze remained fixed on him.
Paimon: ???
'What about me, what about me?'
"Guest Official?"
"Xue Qinghe" looked at Zhongli with confusion and followed her gaze to the white area.
With just one look, she recognized the masked Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.
"Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin?"
"Xue Qinghe" murmured, slightly surprised.
After a moment of thought, "Xue Qinghe" shook her head.
Ning Fengzhi was a regular at the auction house. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked many things, but money wasn't one of them!
With money, naturally, one would purchase useful items.
Soul bones were rare, but what if one appeared?
What if an ancient soul tool was up for auction?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a frequent visitor to the auction house.
"It's not surprising that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin have visited the Guest Official Zhongli and know him."
With this in mind, "Xue Qinghe" stopped overthinking it.
"I didn't expect to meet my teacher and Sword Douluo here. What a coincidence."
Perhaps due to her habit of playing "Xue Qinghe," she continued to address Ning Fengzhi as her teacher.
Of course, necessary respect was still maintained; after all, she was currently "Xue Qinghe"!
What if there were eavesdroppers and misunderstandings arose?
As it happened, right next to the black number one private room was the black number two private room.
Inside sat Prince Xue Xing!
Fortunately, the soundproofing of the black rooms was excellent, so Xue Xing didn't hear the conversation between Zhongli and "Xue Qinghe."
For his safety, Xue Xing portrayed himself as a "playboy," to reassure Xue Ye and "Xue Qinghe."
After all, Xue Ye wasn't the eldest either and had used some methods to ascend to power!
If Xue Xing hadn't played the "playboy," perhaps he wouldn't have been Prince Xue Xing at all!
Suddenly, "Xue Qinghe" frowned, a golden light flashing in her eyes.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu?"
About a month ago, she had seen Tang San and Xiao Wu at the gates of Heaven Dou City.
Especially Tang San, even if he wore a mask, Qian Renxue could recognize him even if he turned to dust!
Given the original development, Tang San's close relationship with Ning Fengzhi made sense.
If it weren't for Tang San's hidden weapons, the attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't have been so disastrous!
Powerful hidden weapons that could pierce the heart of a god.
"Xue Qinghe" stroked her chin, lost in thought.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San, and others were unaware that despite their low profile, they had already attracted attention.
Tang San and Xiao Wu wore Blue Tyrant Academy uniforms, which was one reason Ning Fengzhi initiated the conversation with them.
Ning Fengzhi didn't know Xiao Wu's true identity and was chatting with Tang San and Xiao Wu about the auction house.
They seemed to be getting along well.
Chen Xin stood with his arms crossed, slightly turning his head, his gaze always lingering on Xiao Wu.
This was a hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast!
She represented a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone!
Moreover, it was an easily obtainable situation.
Normally, even a Titled Douluo like Chen Xin might not be a match for a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in a one-on-one fight.
But a hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast was different. She had the characteristics of dropping a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone but lacked the strength of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.
Chen Xin thought for a moment. The auction house was not a suitable place to make a move.
The impact of this matter was too significant, and he had to consider it carefully.
It wouldn't be too late to act after leaving the auction house.
The fewer people who knew Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, the better.
Time passed, and after about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, someone finally appeared on the auction stage.
This signaled the official start of the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Heaven Dou City Grand Auction."
As the auctioneer spoke, the strange noises in the auction house gradually ceased.
With the auction officially beginning, the nobles' playful thoughts naturally diminished.
"Now, I will introduce the first auction item."
After saying this, a staff member walked towards him, carrying a tray with a mysterious gait.
The tray was covered with a red cloth, obscuring its contents.
At the same time, a steel plate was carried onto the auction stage by several strongmen.
Anyone with sharp eyes could see several holes in the steel plate...
This was the steel plate used in the earlier test, proving the combat effectiveness of this auction item.
"The first auction item is called 'Powder Shooting Shadow!'"
After saying this, the auctioneer lifted the red cloth, revealing the Powder Shooting Shadow.
"This item can unleash the full power strike of a Great Spirit Master. The steel plate behind me is one of the plates used in the previous test."
"Using the Powder Shooting Shadow requires no spirit power. Even an ordinary person can exert the same power..."
The auctioneer, having been in this business for years, had never encountered such a "magical" item!
No spirit power required to produce such a level of attack!
A Great Spirit Master was nothing to the nobles, but the key was that this item didn't require spirit power and could be instantly used, making it an excellent life-saving tool.
Hearing the auctioneer's introduction, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up.
No spirit power needed?
Even if it required spirit power, it wouldn't matter!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked spirit power?
What they lacked were offensive and defensive means!
This referred to the core members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit masters.
"If the Powder Shooting Shadow could be mass-produced..."
This was what Ning Fengzhi was hoping for.
"The starting price is one thousand gold soul coins!"
"Each bid increase must be no less than one hundred gold soul coins!"
Tang San and Xiao Wu were slightly taken aback. They didn't expect the first auction item to be the Powder Shooting Shadow that Tang San had just appraised.
Tang San was very satisfied with the starting price of one thousand gold soul coins.
The raw materials for making the Powder Shooting Shadow cost at most a few gold soul coins.
Now it could be auctioned for a thousand gold soul coins—how many times the profit was that?
"White Area No. 65, five thousand gold soul coins!"
"My goodness, White Area No. 65 has bid five thousand gold soul coins. It seems they are determined to get it..."
This was just the beginning, and the price had already jumped from one thousand gold soul coins...
