Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 47: Snow Emperor Embryo, Body Sect
Ying Qian naturally saw all of Mo Qiu's little movements. However, Ying Qian only glanced at him lightly, then retracted his gaze, raised the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip.

Mo Qiu's smile did not disappear because of Ying Qian's disregard, but instead seemed even gentler and more kind.

"Dear guest, I don't even know what to address you." Mo Qiu's voice was still soft, with a hint of teasing. She didn't seem to care about Ying Qian's previous coldness, and still showed her charm.

Ying Qian glanced at Mo Qiu calmly and said, "My surname is Ying, and my given name is Qian."

"Mr. Ying, is this your first time at our Starlight Auction House?" Mo Qiu asked with a smile. There was a hint of joy in her eyes. She seemed a little surprised by Ying Qian's introduction, but more of it was concern and respect for him.

Ying Qian shook his head and said, "I have been here before, but I always came and left in a hurry."

Mo Qiu said: "Then is Mr. Ying a teacher at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy?"

Ying Qian said: "I guess so!"

"Then Mr. Ying must be a good teacher, right?" Mo Qiu covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Ying Qian asked back.

"When I came in just now, I saw it clearly. Your students all waited for you to sit down before they dared to sit down. It can be seen that you must have a very high status in their minds. At least I think that only good teachers will be respected by students." Mo Qiu began to analyze.

Upon hearing this, Ying Qian just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Ying Qian and Mo Qiu in the front were chatting idly, but some people sitting in the back were not very happy.

Two pairs of big watery eyes stared at the two people in front of them, especially Mo Qiu's silver bell-like laughter from time to time, which made the owners of the two pairs of eyes very unhappy.

"Sister Guyi, what do you think that woman was talking about with the teacher? They seemed so happy?" The owner of one of the pairs of eyes asked, and it was Meng Hongchen from the voice.

"I don't know." Ye Guyi shook her head. Her eyes had never left Ying Qian from the beginning.

Just as the two were complaining, the golden light on the soul guide screen gradually faded, and a melodious voice sounded, "Welcome all distinguished guests to the Starlight Auction House's top auction. Today, we will present a total of nine precious items to you. The value of the items will be displayed from low to high for you. I hope you like them."

The soul guidance screen became clear again. The previous platform had been filled with a faint layer of white. In the middle of the platform, stood a girl wearing a red dress.

This girl looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was even comparable to Jiang Nannan's. And because she is several years older than Jiang Nannan, her figure is extremely developed. A red dress and gauze set off the ice-cold skin, giving people a perfect feeling. Curiously, there was no auction table on the platform she was on.

"Hello distinguished guests, I am today's auctioneer Jiujiu, and I am honored to preside over this top-notch auction. Your time is precious, and our auction begins now. Now, please appreciate today's first lot."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly, performed a complicated but very elegant etiquette, and made a "please" gesture with her right hand. Suddenly, the screen changed, and an object appeared on the soul guidance screen on the entire wall.

"The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. It is an eighth-level close-body soul guide. The material is extremely precious, including a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast. It solidifies its soul bone skill Tyrant Blade Slash. It can also increase the attack power of similar soul skills by 50%."

Ying Qian was not interested in the things in front, so the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy were naturally interested. Soul Guidance Devices were in abundance in the Sun Moon Empire, and the things auctioned at the Starlight Auction House were only made by their Mingde Hall. Since the people of the Xingluo Empire could auction them, there was no need to buy them back.

until
Princess Jiujiu's beautiful figure appeared on the big screen for the eighth time. She smiled and said, "The next two items will be the highlight of today. I believe that all the distinguished guests will be interested. You must seize the opportunity. Some good things are hard to come by. You may not even find a second one on the mainland. For example, our next eighth item is still a soul bone, but it is different. Please take a look."

There was a flash of light and shadow, and a soul bone that was magnified many times appeared on the soul guide screen.

The soul bone is completely green in color, and a green halo flows and fluctuates on it, as if there is a green liquid inside.

Judging from the appearance, this is a left arm soul bone, with a light white mist exuding from the green body.

Because it was magnified many times, it made people feel its strangeness even more. On the green surface of this arm bone, there seemed to be small crystals. It was crystal clear, just like it was carved from gemstones. Compared with it, the several soul bones that had appeared before were immediately eclipsed, and were obviously not in the same class.

"Meng Hongchen." Ying Qian suddenly called out.

"Teacher." Meng Hongchen was suddenly stunned. The auction was almost over, but the teacher suddenly called him. What was going on?
"You can buy this soul bone, but only you can absorb it." Ying Qian explained.

Hearing Ying Qian's tone, Meng Hongchen nodded without any doubt. She never doubted what her teacher said. Since the teacher asked her to take this soul bone, she should just take it.

The reason why Ying Qian did not point out the drawbacks of this soul bone is naturally because he has his own ideas. Not to mention that in the original work, people believed Huo Yuhao because his second martial soul was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. Even if Ying Qian explained the reason now, the Xingluo Empire would not easily believe him from the Sun Moon Empire. So it would be more convenient to just take a picture. Anyway, Meng Hongchen also has money. In Ying Qian's opinion, things that can be solved with money are not a problem. Anyway, the Xingluo Empire still lacks ten soul bones of more than 50,000 years. Compared with this, this little money is not money at all.

At this time, Xu Jiujiu had already introduced the functions and properties of the soul bone. The Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone was naturally rare. The starting price was 12 million, and it has become 15 million so far, and it is still rising, with no sign of stopping.

thirty million!
The number of 30 million gold soul coins suddenly appeared on the soul guide screen. Who said numbers are boring and simple? Looking at this terrifying number of 30 million, everyone in the auction hall began to breathe faster. This is a fortune that is enough to buy a medium-sized city! That is gold soul coins, not silver soul coins or bronze soul coins. The purchasing power of one gold soul coin can buy 150 loaves of bread. Even for a country, it is not easy to come up with so much money. And what is being purchased at this time is just a soul bone. Who can be so rich?

Looking at the private room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Meng Hongchen, the mastermind behind raising the price to 30 million, did not show any change in his expression. He was even drinking his drink leisurely and slowly admiring the left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion on the screen.

This posture, it's definitely rich and willful! Everyone shook their heads and said, "We can't afford to offend him, we can't afford to offend him!"
Obviously, the figure of 30 million has exceeded the psychological price of most people. With the passage of one minute, the deal was done!

"Next, will be today's finale auction."

The screen of the soul guide screen turned into a golden color again, when the golden light gradually converged. Her Royal Highness Princess Jiujiu, who reappeared on the screen, had actually changed into a golden dress.

The fair skin is set off by the luxurious golden palace attire, and it is graceful and elegant without losing its elegance. The form-fitting cut perfectly outlines her charming curves.

Qingya has already introduced it before, wearing a golden auction uniform, which means that the final transaction price of the next auction item may exceed 100 million gold soul coins.

Even though they didn’t know what the auction item was yet, just Princess Jiujiu’s change of clothes made everyone feel excited. As a top auctioneer, this princess really knows how to grasp people's hearts!
"Dear guests, from Jiujiu's outfit, you can probably tell how precious our finale item is today. Frankly speaking, this is the only time I have ever seen this item. In my opinion, its value cannot be measured in monetary terms."

The voice of Princess Jiujiu, who had put on a golden dress, changed slightly again. Different from the previous one which was a bit seductive, there was an added solemnity in her voice now. Her whole expression also became serious. Just a few words made people fully feel her sincerity, and they could not help but believe her every word.

After the long introduction, silence fell. Not only did Ying Qian and the others fall into silence in the room. Everyone who came to participate in the auction today could not help but quiet down, but their breathing was becoming heavier.

The starting price of a 100,000-year soul beast embryo is as high as 100 million gold soul coins. Princess Jiujiu said that this starting price created history in the Starlight Auction House.

The subsequent bidding could only be described as brutal. At the beginning, there were actually three parties competing. The price continued to rise. Soon it reached 130 million gold soul coins. After reaching this number, the auction growth rate began to slow down.

After all, over 100 million gold soul coins is definitely not a price that ordinary forces can afford.

Xiao Hongchen was about to raise his hand to increase the price, but Ying Qian raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Don't raise the price."

"But, teacher, this is a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!" Xiao Hongchen's eyes were red at this moment. If he could absorb a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, it would not only be as simple as obtaining a second martial soul, but also come with a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone! These three benefits, no matter which one is taken out alone, are enough to make everyone excited, and even greedy.

"Xiao Hongchen, I understand how you feel, but calm down now." Ying Qian took a deep breath, his voice calm but firm, "You are not the only one who desires this embryo, and this thing is not a treasure in my opinion, but a hot potato. Do you think that even if you take a picture of this thing, those people will let you take it back safely?"

Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly after hearing what Ying Qian said. He knew that Ying Qian was not perfunctory to him, but was reminding him of the risks behind it. Although he longed to get the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, the reality was indeed very complicated.

"Teacher, you are right." Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, "But are we just going to watch this treasure fall into the hands of others?"

"Let's wait and see." Ying Qian said with a faint smile.

"Hmph, 130 million gold soul coins, I wonder who dares to snatch this thing from us." There were only two people in this VIP room, both of whom looked to be in their forties. The speaker was tall, and the most peculiar thing was that his right arm was particularly strong, at least twice as thick as his left arm. The whole person actually exuded a bit of the aura of a primitive beast.

The other person was thin but had a very large head, looking a bit like a big-headed doll. His sparse hair was yellow, but his eyes were shining like a bright lamp.

"This thing is a rare treasure. I don't believe those guys can't give up their greed. You should complete the formalities as soon as possible, escort it back to the sect, and hand it over to the young master. I will take care of the aftermath here." As he spoke, the big-headed man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then the air in the entire VIP room suddenly twisted violently. It felt like a person seeing water-like ripples on a raging fire when he was in a trance. Everything in the room seemed to become unreal.

"Brother, you don't have to worry too much. We have always been the ones who rob others, and no one has ever dared to rob us. If someone really does, I will definitely let him have a taste of my power." The man with thick arms said nonchalantly. As he spoke, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and a series of "crackling" sounds burst out from his thick right arm. Those were not the sounds made by bones, but the changes in the airflow around the arm.

The big-headed man shook his head, "No. This Starlight Auction House is the background of the Xingluo Empire's royal family. I can feel at least four powerful auras here, and four Titled Douluo are here. Although we are temporarily safe here, if we get the things and leave the Starlight Auction House, those who are watching us will have nothing to worry about. Unless the elders of the sect are here, we will be in trouble. You should listen to me and take the things back as soon as possible. At least once we enter the territory of the Tianhun Empire, we will be truly safe."

"Okay, second brother, I'll listen to you." The thick-armed man showed a bitter smile, "But we have to act as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the greater the risk."

The big-headed man nodded and said seriously, "Yes, we can't delay any longer. Let's go, let's leave here first and find a safe place to deal with the treasure in our hands."
