Chapter 88: Madness
On the screen, Xu jiu jiu was wearing the highest-grade golden dress of the auction house, with a friendly and elegant smile on her face, holding a small golden sun in her hand. Was it a small sun? Obviously not.
"What is this?" Wei Feng murmured softly.
"This is... a Dragon Pill!"
[This is a Dragon Pill!]
Du Qianjue and Xu jiu jiu 's voices sounded simultaneously, startling everyone.
A Dragon Pill? Most people had never heard of such a thing, but anyone who had read Douluo 2 knew what a Dragon Pill was. Mu En had one, and the Dragon Pill in Xu jiu jiu's hand was especially unique...
"Teacher, did you feel it too?" Du Qianjue's expression was serious.
"Hmm, I can't be mistaken. I've encountered this aura personally before," Electrolux stroked his beard and nodded gently in the second sea of consciousness.
Receiving the answer he wanted, Du Qianjue's eyes became fiery as he looked at the Dragon Pill.
The Star Luo Empire is truly wealthy!
[Many guests may be wondering what a Dragon Pill is, but don't worry, Jiujia will explain it in detail.] Xu jiu jiu smiled.
[Everyone knows that soul beasts have a high chance of dropping soul bones upon death. Soul bones are the essence of a soul beast. Similarly, a Dragon Pill is the essence of a dragon, but its value far surpasses that of a soul bone.]
[This Dragon Pill is left behind by a dragon that died, suspected to be a true dragon. It was found in an ancient ruin, a place so dangerous with deadly space cracks everywhere that those who enter risk their lives. The danger of the ruins also attests to the preciousness of this Dragon Pill.]
[This Dragon Pill has two uses, but these two uses alone are enough to drive anyone crazy.] Xu jiu jiu held the Dragon Pill close to her chest, her eyes serious.
[The first use: If absorbed by a soul master with a dragon-type martial soul, this Dragon Pill will 100% promote the evolution of their martial soul, at least reaching one-third of the power the dragon had before its death, with the upper limit unknown. The primal energy in the Dragon Pill will also enhance the body of the dragon-type soul master, making them almost as strong as a humanoid dragon.]
[The second use: If absorbed by a non-dragon-type martial soul master, there are two possible outcomes. First, there is a chance to communicate with the dragon soul within the Dragon Pill and successfully merge with it, making the dragon soul their second martial soul. Second, if the communication fails, the Dragon Pill will still nourish the soul master's body, causing their martial soul to gain dragon-like attributes, improving it significantly.]
The entire hall fell silent. Although no one spoke, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Dragon Pill, filled with greed and desire. Du Qianjue was no exception, his desire even more intense.
However, beneath his greedy gaze, there was a hint of mockery.
"Such ignorance," Electrolux shook his head in disbelief.
A true dragon? Does a true dragon deserve this Dragon Pill?
"If the Light Holy Dragon King were still alive, it would vomit blood upon hearing its Dragon Pill being mistaken for a true dragon's Dragon Pill," Du Qianjue laughed inwardly.
If not for Du Qianjue martial soul being a fusion of the Ice Fire Dragon Kings, and possessing the divine ring formed from their shattered divine cores; if not for Electrolux, who had been close to becoming a god and had encountered dragon souls of the Dragon King level; no one would have recognized the Light Holy Dragon King's Dragon Pill.
On the surface, this Dragon Pill only emitted dense light elemental energy and dragon aura. But in reality, the shattered divine core of the Light Holy Dragon King had long concealed the true essence of the Dragon Pill. Without near-divine strength, who could see through the divine disguise?
How could Du Qianjue let go of such a treasure?! The third soul ring for his second martial soul was within reach!
And this soul ring formed by the Dragon Pill would likely be similar to the divine ring formed by the Ice Fire Dragon Kings, containing the shattered divine core of the Light Holy Dragon King despite lacking soul skills. This would greatly aid his future path to godhood!
Although others lacked Du Qianjue and Electrolux's knowledge, Xu jiu jiu explanation was enough to make them covet the Dragon Pill. A second martial soul! Martial soul evolution! Either effect would drastically improve a soul master's talent, propelling them to new heights.
Who wouldn't desire a twin martial soul?!
In the VIP box of the Dio Academy, everyone was breathing heavily. The neighboring box of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was even more chaotic, with Xiao Hongchen jumping around excitedly, his whole body turning red.
"Damn it, these people from the Star Luo Empire are robbers! They want to charge us a 30% handling fee!" Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth.
"But it doesn't matter, once I get this Dragon Pill, any loss will be worth it!"
He took out a large number of high-level soul tools from his storage ring, throwing them to the staff for appraisal and cashing out after deducting the handling fee. One high-limit credit card after another fell into his hands, making the other contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy almost see gold soul coins in their eyes.
As expected of the grandson of Mingde Hall's master, Jing Hongchen, this tycoon is truly rich!
"Hmph, let's see who can compete with me in wealth!" Xiao Hongchen sneered.
Beside him, Meng Hongchen helplessly held her forehead, feeling a headache from her brother's behavior.
[Now, the final auction item: Dragon Pill, no reserve price. Guests, please—]
The viewing time quickly passed, and Xu jiu jiu 's figure faded from the screen, leaving only the small golden sun.
Starting price: 0!
In the next second, the price shot up from 0 to eight figures!
Ten million!
Xiao Hongchen smiled arrogantly, his every move exuding a sense of extravagance.
"Xiao Hongchen, aren't you being too high-profile?" Ma Rulong frowned.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not using the academy's money; this is for myself," Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes, speaking fervently.
"Once I get this Dragon Pill, I, Xiao Hongchen, will become the continent's number one genius! No one will surpass me!"
"Du Qianjue? Hmph, he'll only look up to my back in the future!"
Xiao Hongchen was elated.
The numbers on the screen kept jumping, everyone was going crazy, adding millions of gold soul coins at a time. Even Wei Feng was bidding.
In less than three minutes, the price of the Dragon Pill soared from 0 to over fifty million!
"Do you accept level-nine soul-guided weapons?" Du Qianjue asked An Ya.
"??" An Ya was shocked.
