"This eight-thousand-year-old head soul bone comes from a rare soul beast, the Soul Devourer. The starting price is two million gold soul coins."
"Soul Devourer, Soul Devourer?"
Ghost Douluo muttered.
A soul bone that is less than ten thousand years old should not have such a strong attraction to him, but Ghost Douluo even felt hungry for it.
This soul bone must have a near-perfect fit with his martial soul, otherwise it would be more than that.
"Hey, it would be nice if it was a ten thousand year soul bone."
However, despite this, Ghost Douluo was still determined to obtain this soul bone.
As for Gold Soul Coins, Ghost Douluo is not short of them. He can at least get millions or even tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins.
He has served the Spirit Hall for so many years, and he basically has no money to spend, so the amount of gold soul coins he has accumulated is not a small amount.
What's more, he received funds from the Spirit Hall when he went out on business this time. If he embezzled a little bit of it, he could just make up for it later.
Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo felt full of confidence.
Guidou calmly waited for others to bid. Perhaps because this soul bone was special, there were many people bidding.
Soon, the price of this soul bone was hyped up to six million.
There are only a few left competing for this soul bone, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is one of them.
When the price reached 7.1 million, almost no other forces raised the price. Just when Ning Fengzhi thought he could get this soul bone, a voice came from the corner.
"Eight million."
The first time Ghost Douluo bid, he raised the price by almost one million.
This is certainly not because he has too much money to burn, but because he has to be confident when bidding against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Besides, he didn't want to say too much. Although he deliberately changed his voice, there was no guarantee that he would not be discovered by Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, but still chose to give up.
Ever since he met the Soul Palace, Ning Fengzhi has become much more cautious. He also strictly ordered the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect not to be arrogant and domineering when going out, and to be more humble, for fear that they would accidentally offend a force like the Soul Palace.
The man in the corner was mysteriously shrouded in a black robe, and even with his mental power he couldn't see through him, so he must be very powerful.
He didn't have to get this soul bone, so he just gave it up.
"Huh~"
Ghost Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he got it smoothly.
"Huh?"
Xiao Mu turned around and glanced in the direction of Ghost Douluo. His soul power penetrated Ghost Douluo's disguise and even felt the special nature of his martial soul.
"Palace Master, is there anything wrong with this person?" Zhan Kaishan asked.
Xiao Mu had a smile on his face.
"Nothing, this person is quite interesting and has a connection with our Soul Palace."
"Are you connected to the Soul Palace?"
Zhan Kaishan didn't understand what Xiao Mu meant. In his opinion, there are two meanings of fate. One is that like Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo, one is destined to join the Soul Palace.
The other one is even simpler. This person has something that the Soul Palace needs, or his soul is favored by the Palace Master.
No matter which one it is, it seems that this person cannot be let off.
"Palace Master, after the auction is over, do you want me to..."
Zhan Kaishan made a gesture.
"No need." Xiao Mu raised his hand, "Since he has a connection with our Soul Palace, he can't escape."
Xiao Mu is not the only one who pays attention to Ghost Douluo. Many people are curious about this mysterious man.
Anyone who can casually take out eight million gold soul coins can definitely not be an unknown person.
The second elder of Haotian Sect turned sideways and whispered to Tang Xiao:
"Master, should we keep an eye on this person?"
The Second Elder's words were very tactful, but Tang Xiao immediately understood what he meant.
This person could come up with eight million gold soul coins, so would he have more? Even if this was all he had, he could still get at least one soul bone, which was a good deal.
The Haotian Sect is now extremely poor, and several ways to make money have failed.
The Seventh Elder has been away from home and has not returned yet, and the non-staff member Tang Hao has lost his life. The entire Haotian Sect is in a state of crying out for help.
"Second Elder, can you tell this person's origins?"
The Second Elder shook his head. He knew Tang Xiao's concerns, so he said:
"This person is very secretive and probably doesn't have a strong background. Even if he has the support of a sect or family, he is definitely no match for our Haotian Sect."
Tang Xiao finally made up his mind.
"Second Elder, you leave first and ask the Fourth Elder to wait outside. The Third Elder and I will stay here and keep an eye on his movements."
Tang Hao's death sounded a wake-up call for Tang Xiao.
Even when dealing with such a person with an unknown origin, Tang Xiao attached great importance to it and did not hesitate to keep an eye on him personally, and acted together with the three elders.
"Yes, Master."
The Second Elder was about to stand up when he suddenly said:
"Master, it's not just this person. You can also keep an eye on the people from the Sparrow Bee Sect. If anyone else with little background shows strong financial resources, they can also be targeted."
The second elder was really ruthless and was willing to do anything to get money.
"I've got that."
Tang Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The auction continued. When Xu Yunchang took out the next soul bone, everyone, whose mood had been fluctuating, perked up again.
The previous one was an eight thousand year old soul bone, and this one is very likely to be more than ten thousand years old.
Sure enough, Xu Yunchang came up and said:
"This soul bone is a ten-thousand-year soul bone, taken from a thirteen-thousand-year-old powerful demon bear. The starting price is five million gold soul coins."
Wow~
When they heard that it was really a ten thousand year soul bone, even though they knew that their chances of obtaining this soul bone were slim, everyone still cast enthusiastic eyes on it.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes moved.
"Uncle Bone, this soul bone should be more suitable for you, right?"
The Mighty Demon Bear is a soul beast that focuses on strength, while Bone Douluo's Bone Dragon martial soul combines defense and strength. This soul bone is very suitable for him.
Moreover, unlike thousand-year soul bones, ten-thousand-year soul bones have a significant effect even for Titled Douluo.
Trying to use the Wind and Thunder Wolf's soul bone to help Sword Douluo take a step forward was just an attempt, and Ning Fengzhi didn't have much hope for it.
However, this soul bone is different. Even if it cannot directly increase the Bone Douluo's soul power, it will always increase its actual combat ability.
Ning Rongrong shook Bone Douluo's arm.
"Grandpa Bone, you were envious of Grandpa Sword just now. How about now? Is it Grandpa Sword's turn to envy you?"
"Rongrong is right. Let's go back and make that old swordsman jealous."
The value of a ten thousand year soul bone is far greater than that of a thousand year soul bone.
There are very few thousand-year soul bones on the market, and ten-thousand-year soul bones are really priceless and rarely traded.
Strong sects like the Wind Sword Sect, the Elephant Armor Sect, the Black Tiger Sect, etc. also began to compete for this soul bone.
But the result was as expected. Ning Fengzhi spent a fortune and finally won the soul bone for 17 million gold soul coins.
"Grandpa Bone, congratulations." Ning Rongrong said happily to Bone Douluo.
