Chapter 1008 Wanbaoge Auction
Jona then picked a fist-sized black stone, on which faint golden powder was visible.
Tang Lan didn't know the origin of this thing, but just by glancing at Qiao Na, she knew that it was pretty good.
The fact that it caught Jona's eye is proof enough of its value.
"This person's vision is probably more advanced. Although this item is not the most valuable, it is still quite rare in the Soul World."
"It is an indispensable metal material in the forging of soul tools."
The middle-aged man gave Jona a thumbs up.
Tang Lan scanned the stall for a long time before finally picking up a tattered ancient book.
The ancient book contained five large characters: "Substitute Soul Control Technique".
It describes the various artifacts that can be crafted, which, through special mediums, enable long-distance combat, much like the puppets controlled by ordinary magicians.
However, cultivating such an ability requires a significant investment of time and effort.
Some Soul Masters have tried it, but in the end they only learned a little bit of the basics.
Without a guide, the progress of cultivation can be described as extremely difficult.
In comparison, not only did his strength not improve significantly, but it also delayed his own cultivation, which can be described as a loss outweighing the gain.
From then on, these cultivation manuals were called useless manuals by the Soul World.
On the Sun and Moon Continent, Soul Masters not only need to cultivate themselves, but also need to research Soul Guidance Devices. They no longer have the energy to study the so-called Soul Control Techniques.
The once-thriving Yuwu Sect on the Sun and Moon Continent also declined completely within a few decades, eventually disappearing altogether.
Hundreds of years have passed since then, and very few people remember them.
"Although this cultivation technique has many wonderful aspects, it is simply not worth mentioning compared to the currently recognized strongest soul tool."
"Instead of practicing this technique, it would be more practical to focus on studying soul tools. This is my advice to you, brother."
Seeing that Tang Lan was very interested in this cultivation technique, the middle-aged man smiled and gave her a reminder.
Thanks for reminding me!
"We've chosen our items, let's go!"
Tang Lan thanked the man, then turned and left with Qiao Na and the other two women.
At the entrance of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce
"Is this really going to work? Our invitations look a little different from everyone else's."
"Could we have really been scammed by that guy? Should we go back and confront him, and make him return the money?"
"If this is found to be fake, we might be taken away by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce."
Lin Ni glanced furtively at the invitations in the hands of the people in front of her, and spoke with some unease.
Time passed, and soon only the three of them remained in front of them.
Lin Ni timidly handed the invitation in her hand to the person in front of her.
After waiting for quite a while, the person finally smiled and said, "Gentlemen, please use your invitations to proceed to the designated area and await the start of the auction!"
The other party gave a professional smile, checked the three people's invitations, and readily let them pass.
He then ignored the three men and turned to look at the invitations of the people queuing behind him.
During this time, the three saw a group of phenotypic answers punching and kicking a thin man not far away.
While hitting him, he yelled, "You think we wouldn't recognize you coming here with a fake invitation?"
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I bought my invitation right here; how could it be fake!"
"Ouch!"
Hearing this, Lin Ni was even more relieved that the guy the three of them had encountered wasn't a conman.
If the three of them are unlucky enough to encounter scammers, they may also have a significant conflict with Wanbao Merchants.
The three of them made several turns and soon entered the venue.
At a glance, nearly 80% of the people participating in the auction were already in place at the venue.
There were about four hundred people present, but only a little over a hundred seats were empty.
"Please follow me! Your seats are numbers 15, 16, and 17!"
The receptionist, dressed in a sexy cheongsam, swayed her slender figure as she led the way for Tang Lan and the others.
The three were positioned in the very center of the arena, neither too far forward nor too far back, but in a pretty good spot.
As the event was about to start, staff members brought out complimentary drinks.
Tang Lan and Qiao Na didn't move, only Lin Ni kept eating fruit and pastries.
The latest novel is first published here!
Tang Lan was a little puzzled. This girl loves to eat so much, yet she still has such a good figure. Is this her natural physique?
If other women saw this, they would probably cast envious and jealous glances at Lin Ni.
Half an hour later, a woman wearing a red short skirt walked out of the venue.
Those long, beautiful legs, clad in high heels, combined with her slender figure and angelic face, immediately attracted the attention of most people in the room.
"Hello everyone, I'm Sangsang, the host of this auction. I think most of the ladies and gentlemen here are old friends."
"Now, without further ado, let's take a look at the first item in this auction."
As the woman's soft voice faded, two women in blue dresses quickly brought up the items for auction.
This thing looks very big, requiring two people to lift it. It's covered with a red cloth, making it impossible to see what's inside.
As the host, Sangsang, stepped forward and untied the red cloth, everyone was able to see what was inside.
It was an iron cage for release, and inside was a golden tiger with a golden body and a pair of golden wings on its back.
Then Sangsang spoke up: "The cub of the Golden-Winged Flying Tiger. This was entrusted to us by a mysterious buyer to sell."
"The Golden-Winged Flying Tiger has extremely high bloodline. Even the cubs have the strength of a sixth-tier soul beast. If properly trained, it will definitely be your best partner in the future."
"Besides, having such a majestic-looking golden-winged tiger as a mount would make you very prestigious when you're out and about."
"Without further ado, the starting bid is 50,000 gold soul coins, increasing in increments of 5,000 gold soul coins, with no upper limit. Please place your bids!"
Sangsang scanned the auctioneers in the room before announcing the price.
The next instant, someone was the first to raise a sign and shout, "Sixty thousand gold soul coins!"
"However, it was quickly drowned out by another voice: I offer 65,000 gold soul coins."
"I'll offer 75,000!"
"Ninety thousand."
The first item up for auction was the Golden-Winged Flying Tiger, a high-level soul beast with a valuable bloodline, which immediately sparked fierce bidding among the auctioneers.
Soon, the price rose from 50,000 gold soul coins to 180,000, and it continues to rise.
One can imagine just how much these people wanted to own such a soul beast cub.
Tang Lan glanced around and, with Qiao Na's reminder, realized that most of the bidders were powerful figures from various wealthy and influential families. (End of Chapter)
