In another box, Bibi Dong and the other two were seated.
However, Bibi Dong was staring at the emerald green stone in front of Xuan Shuang.
With their strength, they were naturally able to sense what kind of majestic life force was contained in this ordinary stone.
Furthermore, it was very attractive to them. After all, they had cultivated to such a level. How could they not have any hidden injuries in their bodies?
As their abilities increased, these hidden injuries would be a huge hindrance to their breakthroughs.
If they wanted to break through to the next tier of soul power, they had to make all the necessary preparations.
Life-type treasures were extremely rare in the Douluo Continent. It was extremely lucky to come across one.
They did not expect the first item to be auctioned to be such a precious life-type treasure.
"Bid for this emerald green stone!"
Right at this moment, Bibi Dong turned to the Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo without any hesitation.
He wanted the two of them to bid for this stone.
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
When the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo heard this, they nodded ferociously. They started to sort out the items that they had brought.
The three of them could tell how precious this stone was. It was impossible that the other people could not tell.
If nothing went wrong, the competition for this stone would be unprecedentedly intense.
No matter what, they had to bid for this stone for the Supreme Pontiff.
Most of the people were eager to try. They couldn't wait to buy this stone.
Xuan Shuang, who was standing on the auction stage, could clearly see the eagerness in everyone's eyes.
Such a rare life-type treasure was extremely attractive to soul masters from the outside world.
"Firstly, this is the first item of this auction: the Stone of Life. I'm sure all of you have already sensed the astonishing life energy contained within this stone."
"In a sense, as long as you possess this Stone of Life, you will be able to recover quickly no matter how serious your injuries are. Furthermore, there won't be any hidden injuries left behind!"
"… …"
Following this, Xuan Shuang slowly introduced the stone's name and effects.
To further attract more people to participate in the auction, this was the method that the Pavilion Master had given her. Only in this way could she keep more people in suspense.
As for the stone, he'd looted it from the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
However, the life force contained within this stone was indeed immense, but it was far from being as strong as the Life Gold.
The life energy within the stone wasn't of much use to the group.
Therefore, he planned to auction it off as the first item of the day.
The value of this stone was far less valuable than the other auction items.
"The starting price for the Life Stone is one million gold soul coins!"
After she had whetted everyone's appetite, Xuan Shuang immediately announced the price of this Life Stone.
"Hiss, it's so expensive. It's just an ordinary rock. Even if it contains an enormous amount of life energy, it's not worth so many gold soul coins!"
"A million golden soul coins. That's really too frightening. This is only the first auction item. Won't the subsequent auction items be even more expensive …?"
"Alas, speaking of which, it's quite pitiful. Even with my current wealth, I can't even compare to a stone."
"…"
As expected!
From the moment the price of the first auction appeared, most of the audience sitting on the first floor revealed a look of shock.
Clearly, he did not expect the first auction price of this stone to be so expensive.
Many people gave up on the idea of bidding and waited for the next few items to appear.
He just hoped that the price wouldn't be as outrageous as the first one!
However, their wishful thinking was destined to fail.
In this auction, this small Stone of Life was the worst item to be auctioned.
Although the audience on the first floor were surprised by the high price, the major forces in the private rooms on the second floor felt that the price was too cheap.
Such a life attribute treasure was extremely rare to come across!
Since he had stumbled into the Stone of Life, he would not hesitate to bid for it at all costs.
If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for the next life-type treasure.
While everyone was discussing, no one would have thought that at the corner of the first floor, there was a man in black robes with a hunched back.
His entire body was emitting a faintly discernible black aura, and his entire being was overflowing with hostility.
"Hahaha!"
However, a terrifying laughter suddenly sounded from the strange man's mouth.
"I didn't think that such a small Star Dou Auction House would contain such a precious life-type treasure. It seems that I came to the right place!"
"My apologies, everyone, but this Stone of Life will be mine!"
In an instant, the terrifying soul power around the black-robed man spread outwards, revealing his short stature and extremely strange face.
"Boom!"
His eyes greedily looked at the Stone of Life in front of Xuan Shuang, and he leapt into the air.
The short man arrived in front of the auction stage and extended his right hand, wanting to take the Stone of Life for himself.
Many people were unable to react to this sudden turn of events.
There was actually someone who was so bold as to cause trouble in the Star Dou Auction House, and even dare to snatch an item from the auction.
How audacious! Did this person not see the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape at the entrance?
The Star Dou Auction House was able to subdue two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, so it was impossible to estimate how many powerhouses they had.
Under such circumstances, he still dared to offend the Star Dou Auction House. He didn't know what was good for him.
Thus, some people looked at the short man in front of them pitifully.
However, the rest clearly didn't have such intentions. They were very interested in the show that was about to unfold.
They wanted to know how the Star Dou Auction House would deal with this matter.
However, just as the short man was about to succeed, Xuan Shuang's smile disappeared, and she stared coldly in front of her.
"Crash!"
Boundless power of ice spread throughout the entire Star Dou Auction House. The power of ice in the air quickly gathered in front of the Star Dou Auction House.
It formed a blue screen of ice that blocked the short man's body.
"What?"
The short man was originally excited because he was about to succeed, but his right hand suddenly touched an indestructible screen of ice, and he was clearly stunned for a moment.
A sudden change occurred. The terrifying power of ice quickly spread from his palm to his entire body.
In this moment of life and death, the short man decisively abandoned his right arm and instantly left where he was.
