Time flew by.
The auction gradually reached its climax as the most precious items were brought up one after another, pushing the enthusiasm of the guests to the peak.
"Honorable guests, sorry for the long wait. Next up is one of the most precious treasures of our auction"
As the auctioneer's excited voice rang out, a beautiful servant girl walked over with a crystal tray.
A golden soul bone lay quietly in the middle of the crystal tray. It was sparkling and translucent as it flickered with golden light. It contained a supreme charm, and a resplendent light flowed through the bone, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"A soul bone! What an intense light! It's at least fifty thousand years old"
Fang Xuan's eyes lit up. This was the first time he had been excited since the start of the auction. The golden soul bone emitted an intense pressure that made his heart tremble.
"Heavens! A golden soul bone! What a powerful aura! This is a peerless treasure"
Everyone exclaimed. This soul bone was too extraordinary. Its golden light illuminated the entire auction house and the noble and dignified aura it emitted shocked many people.
"This soul bone is one of the two most precious treasures of this auction. It's called the Glorious Golden Torso Bone! It came from a fifty thousand-year Radiant God Luan. It's fifty thousand years old"
The auctioneer had a proud smile on his face. The Heaven Dou Auction House had spent a lot of effort to obtain this fifty thousand-year soul bone, all for the sake of pushing today's grand auction to the peak.
At this moment, the guests' enthusiasm began to burn! "The Glorious Golden Torso Bone starts at … five million"
When the auctioneer announced the starting price of this fifty thousand-year soul bone, many people immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
Everyone knew that this soul bone would be very expensive, but they didn't expect it to be so ridiculously expensive. Even the starting price was five million. After a round of bidding, wouldn't the final price be doubled?
Among the six soul bones, the most precious were the skull and torso bones. The skull bone could increase spiritual power, and the torso bone could increase a soul master's overall strength. These two soul bones were very precious, and their prices were naturally much higher than ordinary soul bones.
This Glorious Golden Torso Bone had fifty thousand years of cultivation and could be said to be a top-grade soul bone.
Even Shui Biinger and Huo Wu coveted the Glorious Gold Torso Bone. Unfortunately, they did not have that much money on hand.
A single gold soul coin was enough for a family of three to have enough food and clothing for a month. However, this was an astronomical sum of five million gold soul coins. Many aristocrats couldn't afford it even if they sold their entire fortune!
Fang Xuan had a serious expression on his face. His eyes shone brightly as he locked onto the Golden Soul Bone on the auction stage. His gaze gradually became resolute as he was determined to obtain this Soul Bone.
He possessed a light-type Six-Winged Angel martial soul, and this Glorious Golden Torso Bone originated from a Radiant God Luan. It was light-type as well. If he absorbed this Glorious Golden Torso Bone, his Six-Winged Angel martial soul might evolve and become even more powerful.
Furthermore, Fang Xuan urgently needed to increase his strength to deal with the dangers he might encounter on his way to the finals in Martial Spirit City. A suitable soul bone was undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
"5.1 million!"
"5.2 million!"
"5.5 million!"
…
Many people in the auction house began to bid.
The price of this Glorious Golden Torso Bone skyrocketed like a rolling snowball. In just a short moment, it had reached a sky-high price of six million gold soul coins. It was close to Fang Xuan's limit.
He only had six million gold soul coins on him. It would be difficult for him to obtain this Soul Bone.
However, Fang Xuan wasn't in a hurry. Although he only had six million gold soul coins in cash, there were many treasures stored in his soul tool ring. There were soul bones and immortal herbs. If he really couldn't obtain it, he would use an item that he didn't need as collateral.
He didn't rashly bid. Instead, he returned to his room and waited patiently for the best opportunity to obtain the Golden Soul Bone in one go.
"6 million"
In the auction house, an old aristocrat in a black and gold robe stroked his beard with a serious expression.
He directly raised the bid to 6 million gold soul coins.
The entire auction house was stunned, and the noise was reduced by a lot. Many people laughed bitterly, shook their heads, and sighed. They gave up on competing for the Glorious
Golden Torso Bone. Although they knew that this was a peerless treasure that was rarely seen in the world, they could only shrink back in the face of such a sky-high price.
6 million.
It was too expensive.
"6.5 million gold soul coins"
Not long after, another person made a bid that surpassed the old aristocrat.
"Sect Leader Chen, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" The old aristocrat frowned and looked at the middle-aged man beside him. His expression was a little cold.
"Haha, I wouldn't dare. Marquis Clinton, how would I dare to provoke you? However, this is an auction. Everyone is competing fairly, and the highest bidder wins. Don't you think so?" Chen Tianlong smiled without batting an eyelid.
"Hmph, Chen Tianlong, your family's inherited martial soul is the Umbra Demon Wolf, and it's of the darkness type.
This light-type Glorious Golden Torso Bone doesn't suit you at all. On the other hand, my family's martial souls are all light-type. I think you're deliberately looking for trouble" Marquis Clinton said with a gloomy expression.
Of these two people, one was the sect leader of the Mysterious Underworld Sect, while the other was a Marquis with a high status in the empire. Both parties didn't have a good relationship. In this auction, they were competing for the Soul Bone on the surface, but in reality, they were scheming against each other.
Under the dispute between the two, the price of the Golden Soul Bone soared once again and broke through the 7 million mark.
There were many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the auction, and there was no lack of rich and powerful people who also began to compete for this Soul Bone.
"7.1 million!"
"7.2 million!"
"7.5 million!"
…
The price of the Soul Bone soared.
In a private room on the third floor.
"Wow, this group of people is crazy"
Huo Wu covered her mouth in shock when she saw the intense battle taking place below her. The bids were in the millions. This was simply throwing money away.
Her family was well-off, and her family's property was considered rich. However, it couldn't be compared to the wealth of the old aristocrats below.
"Yes, although this Soul Bone is good, the price is too expensive."
Shui Binger sat quietly on the sofa and a pink little head was lying on her knees, acting coquettishly.
This pink-haired girl was the little fox girl that Shui Binger bought not long ago.
At this moment, to this little fox girl who had no one to rely on, the gentle and kind Water Ice in front of her was her only family member that she could rely on.
"Hehe"
A sweet smile appeared on Shui Binger's face as she rubbed the little fox girl's head dotingly. She suddenly noticed that Fang Xuan, who had been silent all this time, stood up and walked to the balcony. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Eh, Fang Xuan, what are you doing?"
…
"8 million!!"
At this moment, a cold voice came from the private room on the second floor, and it immediately silenced the crowd.
"That's the Platinum Bishop of the Martial Spirit Palace, Sacas. Spirit Palace has made a move.
"Someone recognized the person in the VIP room. It was the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Palace, Sacas. The astronomical price of 8 million, coupled with his identity as the Bishop of the Spirit Palace was enough to deter anyone who coveted this Golden Soul Bone.
No one had such wealth, and no one dared to go against the Spirit Palace.
"This Soul Bone is very compatible with me. If I can absorb this Glorious Golden Torso Bone, my strength will increase greatly. I might even have a chance to reach the Titled rank in the future."
In the VIP room, Sacas was lying comfortably in the arms of a girl in purple, and his legs were on the knees of another girl.
He was leisurely holding a glass of red wine in his hand, enjoying the massages of the beauties while tasting the wine. He looked very happy and contented.
"I must have this Soul Bone"
Sacas' eyes were determined. This 50,000-year-old Glorious Golden Torso Bone was willing to spend all the money that he had accumulated over the years. He swore to get this Soul Bone.
He believed that with the astronomical price of 8 million, coupled with his identity as the Platinum Bishop of the Martial Spirit Palace, no one would dare to compete with him for the Golden Soul Bone.
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
"9 million"
Sacas' expression changed.
