"According to the auctioneer, this pair of soul guides that can store living things are called Ruyi Treasure Bag. Not only are they small in size and have a large storage space, they are also very easy to carry. You only need to hang them around your waist."
As the host's voice fell, the red cloth was lifted, and after a flash of red light, two sachets of different colors were revealed in a transparent box in front of everyone.
One of the two sachets is blue, and the other is green. They are only the size of an adult's palms.
These are seemingly ordinary treasure bag, but after the host's introduction, the two treasure bags stored in the transparent box were given a certain glow. They were no longer ordinary, but rather very attractive.
Soul guides that can store items are not rare, but soul guides that can store living things are extremely rare on the mainland.
What is the function of such a soul guide?
The general storage soul guide is just like a storage room. It is isolated from the outside world and has no air. So under such circumstances, if a living thing stays in it, it will definitely suffocate to death.
A soul guide that can store living things means that the storage space has the conditions necessary for the survival of living things.
An item that can hold living things also means that it can definitely temporarily hold a human, soul beast, or other living being.
If a soul master can obtain this kind of soul guide device for storing living things, he can not only store some creatures with special abilities in it, but even soul beasts.
For example, some large sects would beat the soul beasts needed by the sect's disciples until they were half-crippled, leaving it with only its last breath, and then use some means to make it unable to move normally, and finally store it in a soul guide device.
In the future, when the disciples of the sect need the soul rings of soul beasts to break through the level limit, they will not need to waste time looking for soul rings. They can directly take them out from the soul guide and kill them for the disciples of the sect who need to advance to obtain the soul rings.
For example, some great nobles like to live a licentious life and like to abuse beautiful women like slaves. With this storage soul guide, they can store beautiful women in a naked state, and release them when needed to enjoy them to their heart's content, or have more perverted ways of playing.
What is a hidden beauty?
There is no need to hide. When having an affair, you only need to store the object of the affair in the soul guide to avoid being discovered.
This is the function of a soul guide that can store living things.
Hearing that the names of the two soul guides were Ruyi Treasure Bag, not only the audience present, but also Lu Buliang was excited. Dugu Yan said that Dugu Bo did not have the storage soul guide Ruyi Treasure Bag. It turned out that it was because Dugu Bo had not obtained this treasure bag yet.
In other words, buying these two Ruyi Treasure Bags at the auction would not be stealing Tang San's treasure, but stealing Dugu Bo's treasure.
"The starting price for this item is 100,000 gold soul coins. Since there are two items in total and they cannot be auctioned separately, each bid must not be less than 20,000 gold soul coins."
As he spoke, the host glanced at everyone present and shouted, "Dear guests, you may make your bids now."
Lu Buliang pressed the button on the seat handle without hesitation. Ye Lingling told him that if he wanted to increase the price, he could just press the button on the handle.
In other words, he had to spend at least 120,000 gold soul coins to buy the two Ruyi Treasure Bags.
At this time, bursts of ding-ding sounds were heard in the hall. Whether it was the mysterious VIP in the red area in front or the nobles in other areas, they all pressed the buttons and began to raise the price.
At this time, the bidding price has increased to 200,000 gold soul coins, and it seems that it is still increasing.
Lu Buliang felt a little guilty. If he went, he would have no money. The 300,000 gold soul coins he got from Xue Qinghe were obviously not enough to compete with the assets of these nobles. It seemed that he would lose the auction this time.
On Earth, he hated himself for being poor and powerless. Unexpectedly, in Douluo Continent, he would be troubled by money again. Lu Buliang was very unwilling to accept this. It was a rare opportunity to encounter such a top-grade soul guide as Ruyi Treasure Bag, so how could he be willing to give it to others?
"Don't worry." Ye Lingling said, "I have some money here too, I should be able to help you."
Lu Buliang looked at Ye Lingling with some surprise, "Thank you."
Receiving help from others in such an extremely helpless and unwilling situation was undoubtedly like a long-awaited rain after a long drought. Apart from expressing his sincere gratitude, Lu Buliang really couldn't think of any better words to say goodbye.
However, Ye Lingling seemed very satisfied with this thank you. Her eyes, which were looking at Lu Buliang, suddenly moved downwards, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The host said, "Three hundred thousand. A red VIP has offered three hundred thousand gold soul coins. Is there anyone who would like to raise the price?"
"Three hundred and twenty thousand." The host looked at Lu Buliang's position and shouted again. "Okay, a black VIP has bid three hundred and twenty thousand."
Seeing that someone dared to raise the price with him, the red VIP sitting in the front red area suddenly stood up and looked towards the black area at the back. Although he was wearing a mask on his face, Ye Lingling immediately recognized his identity when he stood up.
In fact, Lu Buliang also knew this person. This red VIP was the former captain of the first team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy and one of the most outstanding elite students in history. His name was Tuoba Xiang. He was the grandson of the leader of the Sacred Dragon Sect and the former captain of Ye Lingling.
Tuoba Xiang was about to break through the bottleneck of level 50 recently, so he returned to the academy for a while, using the academy's mimesis field to practice in order to break through the level faster. He took advantage of the day off to visit the auction house, but he didn't expect to come across a soul guide that could store living things. Such a top-notch product, he was the best choice.
"Lingling?" Tuobo Xiang recognized Ye Lingling wearing a mask at first sight, and the second time he stared at Lu Buliang who was sitting with Ye Lingling.
The moment Lu Buliang and Tuoba Xiang looked at each other, they recognized each other. They had met before under the introduction of Xue Qinghe.
Lu Buliang knew that this red VIP was his senior brother, named Tuoba Xiang, who was also a talent favored by Xue Qinghe like himself.
Next to Tuoba Xiang sat a sturdy man in white armor. Any soul master with a certain degree of vision could see that this sturdy man in white armor was a Soul Saint-level warrior. He was probably a member of the Sacred Dragon Sect like Tuoba Xiang.
Tuoba Xiang looked at Ye Lingling and asked, "Lingling, do you want this item too?"
Ye Lingling nodded.
"I'm sorry, I can give you anything you want, but I'm very interested in this item and I won't give it up." Tuoba Xiang's serious expression suddenly turned into a smile, and he changed the subject and said with a smile: "However, if you promise me that thing, I will consider giving you one of the treasure bags, how about it?"
"No." Ye Lingling answered firmly.
"If you don't agree, then forget about getting this treasure." Tuoba Xiang shouted in embarrassment, "Uncle Long, raise the price to 400,000!"
The sturdy man In white armor sitting next to Tuoba Xiang pressed the button on the seat handle several times, and the bidding price directly rose to four hundred thousand.
The host shouted, "Four hundred thousand. Red VIP has bid four hundred thousand gold soul coins. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Lu Buliang glanced at Ye Lingling. Since there was only a balance of 300,000 gold soul coins in his card, if he wanted to increase the price, he would have to use the balance in Ye Lingling's card.
Ye Lingling nodded.
After getting permission, Lu Buliang also raised the price to 420,000 gold soul coins.
Tuoba Xiang signaled the sturdy man in white armor named Uncle Long to continue raising the price.
"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins!" the host exclaimed. All the bidders present looked at each other and stopped bidding. Only Lu Buliang raised the price.
"Five hundred and twenty thousand gold soul coins!" the host shouted.
The sturdy man in white armor pressed the button again, and the bidding price for the two Ruyi Treasure Bags had reached 600,000 gold soul coins.
Obviously, Tuoba Xiang's intention was very clear, which was to keep raising the price until Ye Lingling was ruined. For such a soul guide that could store living things, the Sacred Dragon Sect would not give up easily.
"Seven hundred thousand gold soul coins!" The host was stunned. Although these two soul guides were rare, they were not worth seven hundred thousand gold soul coins. The situation before him was obviously a fight between the two bidders.
Just as Lu Buliang was about to raise the price, he discovered that even the credit limit on Ye Lingling's card was overdrawn and he could not raise the price any further.
"Sorry, I didn't bring that much money with me." Ye Lingling then remembered that she didn't have much money left on this card. She just came out to buy flowers and never thought that something like this would happen.
Lü Buliang smiled and shook his head, saying with relief: "It's okay. Things that belong to me will fall into my hands no matter what. Things that don't belong to me don't need to be forced. Don't worry too much."
Ye Lingling also wanted to not care, but she felt heavy in her heart, as if she had lost something.
Seeing that Lü Buliang could no longer raise the price, Tuoba Xiang smiled, "Junior brother, it turns out that it is not Lingling who wants this item, but you who wants it."
"You asked the Crown Prince for the 300,000 gold soul coins so that you could bid at the auction, right? Unfortunately, you are just a commoner after all, and the Heaven Dou Auction House is not a place for you. The rich get the upper hand, this is the rule of the auction house, don't blame me for not letting you go."
As he spoke, Tuoba Xiang chuckled, "If you want these two treasures, you have to pay more than me. If you don't have money, these two Ruyi Treasure Bags will belong to me, Junior Brother."
Lu Bu looked at Tuoba Xiang with reluctance. He felt that Tuoba Xiang had the capital to be arrogant. First, he had the powerful Sacred Dragon Sect as his background, and the Sacred Dragon Sect had an unclear relationship with the Spirit Hall. Second, Tuoba Xiang was a talent secretly cultivated by the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Whether in terms of background, strength, financial resources, or influence, he is no match for him and can only watch helplessly as the things he want fall into the hands of others.
The host shouted again: "Seven hundred thousand gold soul coins, is there anyone who wants to bid more?"
"No need to shout." Tuoba Xiang looked at the host and smiled proudly: "I am from the Sacred Dragon Sect. After I raise the price, no one will dare to raise the price except the royal family and the seven major sects! Today, no one from the seven major sects is here. My Sacred Dragon Sect has the final say. There is no need to be afraid of anyone!"
Just as Tuoba Xiang's voice fell, an old and oppressive voice sounded from the entrance of the hall, "In the entire Heaven Dou Empire, are the people from the seven major sects the only ones that your Sacred Dragon Sect can fear?"
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying pressure was generated at the entrance of the hall, and a fishy smell enveloped the entire hall. Faintly, one could see that the flower decorations placed on the screen wall of the hall were instantly corrupted and melted by the fishy smell.
The next moment, an old man with dark green hair and his hands behind his back slowly walked in from the entrance of the hall.
