Hearing this, all the auctioneers in attendance became excited...
"What? There are actually three finale auction items? Could it be that today's auction items are all good stuff?"
"Of course, yeah, under normal circumstances, an auction house has only one finale auction item, but today there are three, which means that the overall quality of the auction items is not low, coming here was definitely the right choice!"
"That's great, I can't wait to find out what these finale auction items are!"
"Eh, I dare not even think about the finale auction items, I'm just here to look, but with the one hundred thousand golden soul coins I have, maybe I could snag a deal!"
"Do you think the auction house is run by fools? They must have checked everything before the auction, there's no way you'd get the chance to snag a deal, what a joke!!"
"Damn it, what are we waiting for then, hurry up and start, I've got plenty of golden soul coins!!"
Ning Fengzhi also retracted his spiritual power and, holding his chin in thought, said, "Three finale auction items, Uncle Sword, it looks like our trip here won't be in vain!"
Having attended so many auctions, this was the first time he had seen such a situation!
Chen Xin, however, withdrew his gaze and coldly said, "Hmph, Feng Zhi, I think you better not hold too much hope, these finale auction items might just be substandard goods, a way to fool those who don't know any better!"
The really good stuff, either gets pre-determined by the great sects and powers, or gets absorbed internally by the auction house, how could it possibly leak out!
Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips, "That's not necessarily true. After all, this place is directly managed by Pope Hall, if they were to pass off inferior goods, the consequences would be very serious!"
Chen Xin did not refute, instead, he kept a watchful eye on Xu Sheng, afraid that the latter might suddenly leave...
He didn't believe that the other party hadn't noticed the spiritual power released by himself and Ning Fengzhi!!
Seeing that he had successfully set the atmosphere, the auctioneer spoke again, "Well then, without further ado, I declare that the auction starts now!"
Soon after, a silver box was placed in front of the stage by the auction house staff...
The auctioneer slowly opened it, and then introduced the first item, "The first auction item is a skull, dropped by a Snow Mountain Spirit Fox with ten thousand years of cultivation. Upon inspection, after absorbing it, one would randomly obtain one of the soul skills used by it in its lifetime, and also gain a boost in spiritual power!"
"It can be said to be particularly suitable for control-class and support-class Soul Masters, starting bid for this auction item: ten thousand golden soul coins!!"
No sooner had the sound of his voice faded than the restless auctioneers could not hold back, and began to bid...
"What?? Did I hear that right, a Spirit Skull starting bid at only ten thousand golden soul coins? I don't care, I bid ten thousand golden soul coins!"
"Hiss... I bid fifteen thousand! To not take advantage of a bargain is foolish!"
"You think you can get this soul bone for fifteen thousand golden soul coins? Dream on, I bid twenty thousand golden soul coins!!"
"Twenty-one thousand golden soul coins. I'm going to get this soul bone, nobody better compete with me!"
"Step aside, all of you. With that little money you want to snatch away the soul bone? I bid thirty thousand golden soul coins!!"
Watching the auctioneers fiercely raise the bids, Hulena exclaimed in amazement, "It's already reached thirty thousand golden soul coins? Are soul bones really that valuable?"
She remembered when she first joined Martial Soul Hall and became a goddess, her teacher had personally promised to find her a complete set of compatible soul bones!
Now it seemed, it was no trivial matter!
Xu Sheng smiled and chimed in, "Yes, apart from soul beasts with over one hundred thousand years of cultivation, most soul beasts have an extremely low probability of dropping soul bones upon death, which naturally makes them pricey!"
"However, this auction house is also very clever, setting the opening price for the first auction item at ten thousand golden soul coins can get the whole scene heated up!!"
Hulena hesitated for a moment, "Xu Sheng, should we also place a bid?"
She had some thoughts on that Spirit Skull...
After all, skulls were one of the rarest types of soul bones, even Martial Soul Hall didn't have many!
But the next second, as if thinking of something, he showed an embarrassed expression...
"Forget it... We don't have that many golden soul coins on us!"
Being able to enter the auction house was already an exception!
Hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but think to himself, "The time is about right, they should take the initiative to make contact, right?"
As expected, Ning Fengzhi, who had not taken the initiative to speak before, seized the opportunity to say, "If the two of you don't mind, I could buy this soul bone for you as a way to make friends, how about that?"
This soft-spoken offer felt like a breath of spring air...
Hulena was surprised and slightly flustered as she said, "How... how could we accept that? Please don't go to the trouble!"
She also did not expect that the person next to her would initiate a conversation!
Xu Sheng's dark eyes hardened, as he politely declined, "We appreciate your kind offer, senior, but we must decline."
Ning Fengzhi showed a look of regret, but he did not plan to give up...
"Is that so? That's truly a pity, but if you two young friends have any auction items you are interested in, feel free to bid with confidence," he said.
Indeed, children capable of having Innate Soul Power Ninety-level wouldn't easily accept the generosity of others!
At that moment, Hulena asked in an extremely soft voice, "Xu Sheng, do you know them? Why would they want to give us a soul bone upon our first meeting? Could there be another purpose?"
Xu Sheng shook his head, "I don't know them, but from the voice just now, I'm afraid he is the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Ning Fengzhi!"
It was no wonder he could recognize him; Ning Fengzhi's voice was too distinctive!
Hulena's thoughts clearly couldn't keep up, "Eh, Xu Sheng, you said you don't know him? How can you be so sure?"
Xu Sheng found an excuse full of holes to fob her off, "I saw Sect Master Ning from a distance once before, so I'm somewhat familiar with his voice!"
Hulena's expression turned contemplative, "I see..."
If the other party really was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, wouldn't that make him Ning Rongrong's father??
She had just had a conflict with him not long ago...
Her mood, which was quite pleasant earlier, suddenly grew tense...
Seeing that she was preoccupied, Xu Sheng guessed, "Nana, are you worried about what happened that day?"
Hulena nervously nodded her head, "Yes, I did go a bit too far that day!"
However, this Sect Master Ning and Ning Rongrong simply did not seem like father and daughter. The difference in their demeanor was just too great!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng comforted her, "Don't worry, Sect Master Ning probably won't mind such a trifle, otherwise he wouldn't have started the conversation!"
Since one of the individuals was Ning Fengzhi, then the other person was undoubtedly either Chen Xin or Gu Rong!
They must have guessed the identities of the two of them, which is why they initiated the conversation!
The reason might be related to Hulena previously calling out her own name; after all, Chen Xin had seen her before and might have remembered her!
