"So that's how it is. Hmph, a bit domineering, huh. But I don't think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will give up the competition."
Ling Yun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile. At the very least, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan definitely wouldn't give up.
Otherwise, Yu Luomian wouldn't have run to the auction stage to examine the arrows up close.
Besides, Yu Tianheng suddenly died at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's gate last night; it would be a miracle if the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could tolerate that.
Now they're probably just waiting for others to stop bidding before they place their bids, crushing their competitors in one fell swoop.
"4500 gold soul coins! Your Ye family is indeed quite impressive, but our Shen family is no worse! Daring to spout such threats, huh? Who are you trying to scare?"
"That's right, is your Ye family so powerful? Our Lin family disagrees! 4800 gold soul coins! If you're so capable, let your old Ye bastard come visit our Lin family!"
"5000 gold soul coins! The Ye family's got no guts! I'm Xiao Chenjun, if you're so capable, let your old Ye bastard come find me!"
...
A noisy argument made Ling Yun's face turn strange.
Ye, Xiao, Lin, and Chu are known as the four major online novel families. Generally, the protagonists are born into these four families.
Now, three families—Ye, Xiao, and Lin—suddenly appeared at the auction. If Ling Yun hadn't read *Douluo Continent* and knew that the protagonist was that loser Tang San, he
would definitely have been intimidated by these three incredibly arrogant families. Since these three families aren't the protagonist's families, what's there to be arrogant about?
"5500 Gold Soul Coins! I said, what the Ye family values, no one is allowed to take!"
After being ridiculed, the Ye family leader roared, immediately raising the price by 500 Gold Soul Coins.
"6500 Gold Soul Coins! Your Ye family is arrogant, but my Xiao family is even more arrogant!"
"7000 Gold Soul Coins! Your Ye and Xiao families are so ruthless, how can my Lin family show weakness!"
From 2500 Gold Soul Coins, it soared to 7000 Gold Soul Coins in less than two minutes, and showed no sign of stopping.
However, this was no longer something small families could participate in; at least medium to large families were bidding.
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!" Just then, a calm bidding voice came from within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The sudden increase of 3000 Gold Soul Coins silenced the Xiao, Lin, and Ye families for a long time.
Ling Yun's lips curled slightly. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had finally made its move. Selling a hidden blade for 10,000 gold soul coins was already beyond Ling Yun's expectations.
"12,000 gold soul coins!" At this moment, Yu Luomian didn't even raise her head, directly declaring a new price.
"15,000 gold soul coins!" Ning Fengzhi also didn't blink.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was never short of funds; even millions of gold soul coins were just a drop in the ocean for them.
Lin, Xiao, and Ye, who had originally planned to bid, opened their mouths but didn't utter a single word when they saw the price suddenly surge to 15,000 gold soul coins.
Although their three families were barely considered large families in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they were nothing.
After all, none of their three families had a Title Douluo-level expert, only a Soul Douluo-level expert.
This made their family foundation much weaker, and it wouldn't be wise to cause conflict with the two major families over such a weapon.
"Twenty thousand gold soul coins, Sect Master Ning, could you possibly let our Yu family have this treasure? I, Yu,
would be eternally grateful." He seemed to realize that if the bidding continued, even if both sides won, the price would far exceed its original value.
However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan desperately wanted to acquire it, so he tried to appeal to Ning Fengzhi's emotions.
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded, ceasing the bidding and handing the hidden arrow to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Head.
Ling Yun was somewhat displeased with Ning Fengzhi and Yu Luomian's compromise in acquiring the hidden arrow.
However, given that twenty thousand gold soul coins far exceeded the arrow's original value, he was still quite satisfied.
The third treasure was a ninth-grade medicinal herb called Dragon Soul Grass.
It had no other uses but could strengthen dragon-type soul beasts or martial souls, increasing their strength by about 30%.
Since it only affected dragon-type soul beasts or martial souls, there was virtually no bidding, and Ling Yun was determined to acquire the Dragon Soul Grass.
His three-headed sacred dragon was originally equivalent to a 240,000-year-old soul beast. After consuming the Dragon Soul Grass, it would be equivalent to a 300,000-year-old dragon soul beast. As soon as
the starting price of 4,000 gold soul coins was announced, Yu Luomian eagerly shouted out 5,000 gold soul coins.
He then calmly awaited the announcer's announcement that the Dragon Soul Grass belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
In his view, if he gave this Dragon Soul Grass to his elder brother, his strength would increase by 30%, absolutely making him comparable to the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
At that time, would he still fear that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family couldn't achieve their revenge?
Unexpectedly, just when he thought he had successfully bid for the Dragon Soul Grass, he heard a lazy voice say,
"6,000 gold soul coins."
"7,000 gold soul coins." Yu Luomian frowned, subconsciously offering a new price.
"10,000 Gold Soul Coins!" Ling Yun didn't even blink, immediately offering a new price.
Yu Luomian's eyes widened, and he looked at Ling Yun with astonishment, asking in confusion,
"Could it be that you possess a Dragon-type Martial Soul? If not, please grant this treasure to my family."
Ling Yun glanced at him as if he were an idiot.
"Nonsense, if I didn't possess a Dragon-type Martial Soul, why would I bid?
I won't give up this Dragon Soul Grass. If you want to continue bidding, I'll oblige.
However, I hope you'll give up. If I ever create weapons in the future, I can sell them to you first."
Ling Yun's casual words struck a chord with Yu Luomian.
He frowned and pondered. Ling Yun would prioritize selling the weapons he created to them.
That way, he could have people replicate these new treasures and then mass-produce them for the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family at a very low cost, greatly enhancing the family's overall strength.
Unaware that the treasures Ling Yun sold were impossible to replicate, Yu Luomian readily nodded.
"Very well, then I, Yu, will no longer participate in the bidding. I urge you to keep your promise today and prioritize selling us any new weapons you produce in the future.
Whatever price you offer, our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan will accept it."
Ling Yun nodded slightly, reluctantly agreeing to Yu Luomian's request.
Seeing that no one else was bidding, the host announced that Ling Yun was the winner of the Dragon Soul Grass and had a maid present it to him.
