Chapter 146 Soul-Enhancing Pill and Soul-Returning Pill
Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing unconsciously rubbed the armrest of his chair with his fingers, his brows furrowed.
He noticed that although Dugu Bo looked displeased, he remained quietly sitting beside the blue-clad youth, a posture that was clearly unusual.
"Uncle, you said that having Poison Douluo accompany him... just who is this young man?"
"Why haven't I heard him mention it?" Avalanche added softly upon seeing this.
Prince Xuexing waved his hand gently, his gaze still fixed on the direction of Dugu Bo, and said in a deep voice, "Don't say any more. We'll find out after the auction."
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng nodded obediently. At this moment, he was completely different from his usual playboy self, instead showing a hint of caution.
On the auction stage.
The auctioneer was slightly taken aback when someone suddenly raised the price to 220,000 gold soul coins.
The crowd below exchanged bewildered glances, clearly agreeing that the price far exceeded the actual value of the soul guide ring. Several people who had initially intended to bid shook their heads and gave up on raising the price further.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand gold soul coins, for the first time!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand gold soul coins, for the second time!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand gold soul coins, third time! Sold!"
The auction gavel fell heavily, and Tang Chuan finally won the sapphire ring.
Dugu Bo stood to the side with a dark expression, then sighed helplessly.
The auction continued, with a dazzling array of treasures on the stage.
There are weapons, armor, maps, herbs, clothing, ancient books, and so on.
On one occasion, Tang Chuan was even somewhat astonished as he looked at the girl who was pushed up. She was not old, perhaps only a teenager, but her figure was surprisingly developed, and her small face was full of timidity.
Starting bid: 100,000 Gold Soul Coins!
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.
"150,000!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
The normally refined nobles now all revealed greedy eyes, their bidding rising and falling. Finally, the price soared to nearly 800,000 gold soul coins, and was won by a fat man wearing a golden mask.
"Doesn't the Heavenly Dou Empire explicitly prohibit the buying and selling of people? How dare these people still..." Looking at the scene before him, Tang Chuan frowned and whispered to Dugu Bo beside him.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo sneered, a mocking expression appearing on his aged face, and said:
"Heh, banning human trafficking? The very rules established bring enormous profits to those who break them."
As he said this, a meaningful light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Rules have always been tailor-made for the lower classes. These nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire wield immense power; do you really think they'll follow those so-called rules?"
Tang Chuan noticed that when Dugu Bo said this, there was a hint of worldly-wise sarcasm on his lips.
He nodded slightly, his gaze deep as he looked down at the nobles bidding wildly below the stage. His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the armrest of his chair, and his voice carried a sense of vicissitude beyond his years.
Indeed, this world is ultimately a world where strength reigns supreme. If the profits are great enough and the fist is strong enough, who cares about following those so-called rules?
At this point, a black figure suddenly flashed through Tang Chuan's mind. It was a man with waterfall-like long hair, standing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, laughing loudly.
"The strong make the rules, the weak obey them. Obeying the rules isn't a skill..."
"True skill is breaking the rules to reap the benefits without being punished. True great skill is disrupting the old order, establishing a new one, and continuously enjoying the benefits."
Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback.
He had never seen such a sharp expression on a young person's face before. Those eyes, which should have been clear, were now surging with an ambition and sharpness that were completely out of character for their age.
Just then, another item was brought up for auction.
They were two exquisite white jade bottles, gleaming with a warm luster under the light.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo gently patted Tang Chuan's shoulder, raised his eyebrows, and said seriously, "Kid, your pills are finally going to be auctioned off."
As he spoke, he deliberately put on a stern face and lowered his voice.
"Remember to pay me back when you have the money."
Tang Chuan rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "It's just over two hundred thousand gold soul coins, why are you being so stingy?"
Dugu Bo immediately puffed out his beard and glared, feigning anger, and said, "Hmph, you brat! You think two hundred thousand isn't money? I probably don't spend that much in a year!"
"Fine, fine, here you go! Don't let the remaining poison in your granddaughter's body come looking for me."
"No, no, no! I don't want the money anymore, I don't want it, okay?"
Just as the two were bickering in hushed tones, the auctioneer began his introduction:
"Distinguished guests, the next two lots are truly unprecedented."
He carefully picked up the first jade bottle.
"This item is called the Soul Enhancement Pill. It can increase the soul power of a soul master below level 40 by two levels in a very short time, without any side effects. However, it cannot be used for breakthroughs in soul master titles, such as a level 29 Great Soul Master breaking through to a level 30 Soul Venerable."
Immediately afterwards, he raised the second jade bottle.
"And this Soul-Returning Pill is even more miraculous; it can quickly restore a Soul Master's depleted Soul Power, allowing them to regain the ability to fight when their Soul Power is exhausted."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire auction hall was thrown into an uproar.
A murmur arose from the audience, everyone looking at each other in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.
Several Soul Masters were so excited that they stood up from their seats, their eyes fixed intently on the two jade bottles. If it weren't for the auction house's powerful backing, these people would probably have tried to snatch them directly.
Looking at the jade bottle on the platform, Xue Beng's face immediately lit up with joy. He grabbed the arm of Prince Xue Xing beside him, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Uncle, this...this...I never imagined there were such strange things on the mainland! All these years, in order to make Xue Qinghe lower his guard against me, I have deliberately neglected my cultivation."
"If I could obtain this item, consuming it when my soul power is close to level forty would definitely save me a lot of cultivation time!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing narrowed his eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and said:
"This Tiandou Auction House is a property of our royal family, so there shouldn't be any problem with authenticating the items. They say this elixir has such effects, so it shouldn't be fake."
At this point, he patted Xue Beng on the back, "Beng'er, don't worry, your uncle will take a picture of it for you later."
Meanwhile, not far away.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance, a glint of light flashing in their eyes at the same time.
"Rongrong's current soul power level is just over thirty, this pill is practically tailor-made for her. Uncle Bone, no matter what, we must bid for it."
Ning Fengzhi gently stroked the gemstone scepter in his hand and said in a deep voice.
Please vote for me!
