Chapter 42: The Qiluo Tulip
"Two million gold soul coins."
When Jiang Li announced that the auction had officially begun, Du Busi immediately called out two million gold soul coins.
He valued the Thunder Body Refining Pill greatly. The body refining pills that had already appeared on the Douluo Continent had been consumed in large quantities by nearly every disciple of the Body Sect.
Therefore, ordinary body refining pills had no effect on the disciples of the Body Sect.
Du Busi was full of hope, wishing that this Thunder Body Refining Pill could bring them unexpected benefits.
As for the Longevity Pill, he considered it an additional bonus.
As for longevity, it was also crucial for soul masters, and Du Busi definitely didn't want this pill formula to fall into the hands of other factions.
The Body Sect had already missed too many good things in the previous auction. This time, they had to return with something significant.
"Two and a half million gold soul coins."
At this time, Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon Empire also raised his bidding paddle.
For him, perhaps the Longevity Pill could bring unexpected benefits.
In the ever-changing world of Douluo Continent, no one could predict what would happen in the future.
However, extending his life by five years with the Longevity Pill might prove crucial at a key moment.
"Two million eight hundred thousand gold soul coins."
At this point, the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, followed closely behind Xu Tianran and also joined the fierce competition.
Soon, forces like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Heaven Soul Empire, and others also joined in the intense bidding war.
These two pill formulas were a significant temptation for every faction.
The bidding in the auction house escalated quickly, and the atmosphere reached a boiling point.
This intense competition continued for nearly ten minutes, and the price of these two formulas soared to eight million gold soul coins under the fierce rivalry.
"Give it up, our main target is still the finale auction item: the ninth-level soul tool."
In the direction of Shrek Academy, Elder Mu decisively spoke on behalf of Shrek Academy, withdrawing from the competition.
Elder Mu understood very well that the Longevity Pill was indeed tempting for him.
But he also knew that they couldn't waste too many gold soul coins impulsively, missing out on the other remaining auction items.
Now, Shrek Academy didn't yet possess a ninth-level soul tool, and based on his guesses, the ninth-level soul tool presented by the Star Dou Auction House might be a brand-new soul tool never before seen on Douluo Continent.
Regardless, Shrek Academy must obtain this ninth-level soul tool to fully develop the soul tool system of Shrek Academy.
Over time, soul tools had gradually become an important means to counter soul masters in the Douluo Continent.
In the past, due to the wrong development path, Shrek Academy's soul tool system had been greatly limited and developed slowly.
This time, for Shrek Academy, it was a rare opportunity, and they had to seize it.
"Elder Mu, if you take the Longevity Pill, it might indeed have a certain healing effect on your body," Elder Xuan said with concern as he looked at Elder Mu.
A large part of their participation in the bidding for the Longevity Pill was for Elder Mu.
Seeing Elder Mu give up on the bidding, Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't worry, I can still hold on for many more years, and the faction that wins these two pill formulas will surely find a way to sell them," Elder Mu said calmly.
"In time, we can spend some gold soul coins to buy more Longevity Pills and Thunder Body Refining Pills."
Elder Mu spoke with a calm tone.
In the world of Douluo Continent, where interests reigned supreme, no one would keep precious treasures hidden away.
The factions that won these pill formulas would certainly try to make a profit by selling the pills.
At that time, Shrek Academy could buy them, which was a smart choice.
Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe's eyes brightened slightly. They hadn't thought of purchasing the pills in this way.
Elder Mu's speculation seemed likely to become a reality.
After all, the factions that won the formulas wouldn't want to hold onto two priceless treasures without profiting from them.
Thus, Shrek Academy withdrew from the competition, and the bidding for the two pill formulas gradually neared its end.
"Ten million gold soul coins, once."
"Ten million gold soul coins, twice."
"Ten million gold soul coins, three times."
Seeing that no one was raising the bid, Jiang Li confirmed the price and decisively knocked the auction hammer.
"Since no one has raised the bid, I hereby announce that the first auction item has been won by number 28 on the third floor."
Jiang Li's voice echoed throughout the auction house, announcing the final winner of the first item—Du Busi from the Body Sect.
Upon hearing this result, a satisfied smile appeared on Du Busi 's face.
After a fierce competition and effort, they had finally secured the two pill formulas.
His heart was filled with joy and anticipation, as the time to witness the true effects of the Thunder Body Refining Pill had come.
However, all of this still had to wait until the auction was over.
After the first auction item was successfully sold, the crowd was still immersed in the aftertaste of the intense bidding, with more anticipation for the next auction items.
Jiang Li stood on the auction stage, his face handsome and resolute, calmly surveying the audience below.
He cleared his throat slightly and his clear, magnetic voice once again rang out: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first auction item has found its new owner. Now, let's take a look at the second auction item of the day."
His voice echoed clearly and powerfully like a bell, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
As Jiang Li's words fell, the soul power on the auction stage subtly rippled, and a faint halo slowly appeared on the surface of the table.
Next, an exquisite crystal tray slowly rose from the halo, with beautiful carvings on the surface.
On the tray, a colorful, vibrant, and dripping flower bloomed peacefully. Its petals had golden patterns, which contrasted beautifully with the golden stamen, making it appear extraordinarily luxurious.
The entire herb exuded a rich life force, and its strange and dense fragrance spread throughout the auction house like a spring breeze, refreshing everyone's spirit.
People greedily inhaled the fragrance, feeling their pores open, their fatigue and drowsiness swept away, and their soul power seemed to become more active.
"This is our second auction item today—the Qiluo Tulip. I believe everyone here is no stranger to this herb."
Jiang Li's voice was full of allure as he slightly raised his chin.
