Auction House

“700,000 gold coins! If there’s no higher price, then this outstanding defense talent, Tier 3, Rank 8 MO Ye belongs to the Chu Family!!!”

The sexy and enchanting auctioneer struck the gavel!!

Seeing the hammer fall, many members of the Chu Family revealed dissatisfaction. Or rather, they were already frowning when Chu Ming raised the price to 700,000 gold coins, snatching the MO Ye from the second richest man in Gangluo City.

Everyone knew Chu Ming bought this MO Ye for Chu Mu, intending to make it Chu Mu’s new soul pet. However, the top experts in the Chu Family owned Soul Pets worth around 500,000 gold coins.

Chu Mu was just a third-generation family member, not only had he not contributed much to the family, but his search also caused the Chu family’s economy to suffer a severe setback. Now, he inexplicably received such a lavish gift, and no one felt comfortable in their hearts.

Everyone felt discontent, but no one dared to speak up. After all, Chu Ming was still the master of the entire Chu Family, and it would be unwise to argue on an auction sale.

Meanwhile, the second family head, Chu Nan, was already calculating how to convince Chu Ming to change his mind and give this MO Ye to someone else. Giving it to Chu Mu would indeed be a waste, as such soul pets wouldn’t be able to contribute much to the family’s recommendations.

“I heard that all these soul pets were provided by one person, and judging by the species, they seem to come from Broken Forest. I wonder which expert can come and go freely in the complex and dangerous Broken Forest.” Chu Tianheng said.

“Right, didn’t Chu Mu also stay in the Broken Forest for several days? And he was with the girl from the Qin family…” Chu Tianlin immediately thought of Chu Mu, who had led them out of the Broken Forest effortlessly at that time.

“Hmph, if he’s really that amazing, why didn’t he go deeper into the Broken Forest and catch these soul pets? If he could capture so many tier 4 and below commanders like this expert, he could also strengthen our Chu Family’s strength…” Chu Yi directly expressed his dissatisfaction!

“I believe that Young Master Chu Mu has this ability. Though not as much as this expert, bringing back one or two Commander-level Soul Pets might not be a problem.” Leader of the Chu Family Guard, Chu Si, said.

“I believe it too. In Luo Ye Ridge, I found that Brother Chu Mu often sneaked into the Broken Forest late at night and then came back safely the next day…” Chu Yishui immediately nodded in agreement.

“Kids, don’t talk nonsense and stay aside.” Miss Chu Ying glared fiercely at Chu Yishui, dragging her to one side, not believing Chu Yishui’s words at all.

Chu Yishui suddenly felt wronged and stopped talking.

Catching soul pets isn’t a simple matter. A hunter must be extremely familiar with various wild environments, knowing how to avoid being spotted by soul pets with keen senses, and how to use nearby plants to hide themselves;

and of course, having strong power is a must. Without adequate power, all the experiences are in vain, as not just anyone can take young soul pets away from the watchful eyes of their powerful parents in the wild areas filled with ferocious beasts.

Next is the need for extraordinary courage. Without courage, how can one dive into a tiger’s den and take its cubs?

In the wilderness, there are countless types of soul pets: plants, demonic beasts, elements, undead, exotic creatures…

Disguise. concealment. ambushes. aerial attacks. traDs. D0ison. seduction. illusions… numerous dangers, and defenses are endless. To be careless means to die in the wild or become food for soul pets.

“Coming up is the most important treasure tonight, which everyone has probably known already – Level 6 Soul Armor!”

“The function of Level 6 Soul Armor needs no explanation from me. The bidding starts at 3 million gold coins, and each bid must not be lower than 50,000 gold coins. Please bid, everyone!”

The auctioneer’s voice slowly spread and immediately the great rich men of Gangluo City began to raise their prices.

The price raises from the big rich men were not very high, all around 50,000 gold coins increase!

“4 million!!”

The old voice of Yang Family Master, Yang Kuo, echoed in the auction hall, raising the price by 500,000 gold coins at once, instantly raising the atmosphere to a higher level.

The auction hall quieted down for a moment, and a flurry of discussion ensued.

From the attitude of the Yang Family, it could be seen that they were determined to win this Level 6 Soul Armor!

“Why should we let the old man get away cheap?” Master Qin Chang sneered. He immediately had his man bid 4.1 million gold coins!

“4.1 million!! 4.1 million is already relatively close to the price of this Level 6 Soul Armor, but in some larger cities, the average price of a Level 6 Soul Armor is around 5 million gold coins. Even if it’s purchased at 4.1 million, it can be resold for a good profit.” The auctioneer added fuel to the fire at the right time, sparking more people to raise their bids.

“4-3 million!!” The voice of the Zhou Family Master slowly resounded.

The value of level 6 territory was around 5 million gold coins in this nomination event. Excluding Level 6 territory, wealthy businessmen had also provided various aids and large bets from other clans, all worth about 15 million gold coins in various items.

And if you purchase this Level 6 Soul Armor and have someone participating in the recommendations wear it, the hope of winning first place is very high. Many wealthy people have their sights set on this Level 6 Soul Armor.

Naturally, the participants in the recommendations are not limited to the four great families of Gangluo City. All of Gangluo City and nearby forces are gathered according to the final ranking to obtain a generous reward worth up to 20 million gold coins, with the first place reward being a Level 6 Territory ownership value worth 5 million gold coins!

Even if you don’t get first place, the second place reward—a High-level Commander Chaos Thunder Crown Spirit worth 3 million gold coins—is very impressive. As for the third-place reward, a Level 7 Single-Attribute Soul Crystal, is worth 1.5 million gold coins and has also attracted many envy.

Rewards are important, but the prestige gained after participating in recommendations is even more crucial!

Once every five years, each recommendation ceremony is incredibly grand!

This auction has gathered many influential people to spend extravagantly, all for the sake of their recommendation rankings!!

“4.6 million!

Those who increase the bidding usually have deep voices or sound old, undoubtedly experienced figures in Gangluo City. But this 4.6 million is from a young woman’s voice, surprising everyone in Gangluo City.

“Seems like that mysterious woman who bought the Demon Tree Heart at a high price. Grandpa, her background might not be simple.” Yang Luobin immediately whispered to Yang Family Master, Yang Kuo.

Yang Kuo coldly snorted and increased the price again: “4.8 million!!”

A price of 4.8 million had already reached the value of Level 6 Soul Armor. Old City Lord Yang Kuo was determined to obtain the Soul Armor.

The auction house immediately quieted down. No one dared to continue raising the price. Firstly, to avoid crossing paths with the Yang family and Old City Lord’s fury. Secondly, the price was indeed too high already. The rich had money but wouldn’t squander it easily.

In the VIP room, Ting Yu saw that no one was increasing the price and became secretly anxious. This Level 6 Soul Armor was a gift to Chu Mu from Nightmare Demon Princess Jin Rou. If the Yang family snatched it away, and the princess asks about it, Chu Mu wouldn’t know how to explain it.

“The total value of those Soul Pets was just 3 million gold coins, plus the remaining 1.6 million, which makes it 4.6 million gold in total…” Ting Yu simply didn’t have enough funds to randomly raise the price.

Biting her lip, Ting Yu thought that even if the Yang family snatched it away, they shouldnt let them have it easily. She immediately raised the price to “5 million gold coins!”

“5 million gold coins!!! This is already the standard price for this Level 6 Soul Armor. Now, all you have to do is add a little more to get it!!” The auctioneer’s voice became sharper. Maybe the auctioneer didn’t expect such an ambitious woman to compete with the City Lord at the price of 5 million gold coins!

Yang Kuo’s face looked a few shades darker. He had estimated the price of this Level 6 Soul Armor would be below 5 million. He didn’t expect such a mysterious and arrogant woman to compete with him, the Old City Lord, in front of everyone!

Of course, Yang Kuo couldn’t lose face at this time. He could afford to spend a few hundred thousand more. So he offered the dominant price of “5.2 million gold coins” without blinking an eye!!

With the price of 5.2 million gold coins, the entire auction house went silent.

In a Level 10 city, the price of Level 6 Soul Armor usually fluctuates between 6 million and 4 million because Level 6 Soul Armor isn’t readily available.

The auctioneer began to fan the flames again, hoping someone else would offer a staggering price. But the 5.2 million gold coins had already silenced everyone.

“The Old City Lord really is generous with this 5.2 million gold coins!”

“Yes, even though he’s old, he still has that kind of wild temperament. That mysterious woman probably won’t try to raise the price anymore.”

When the auctioneer began to stall for time pointlessly, Yang Kuo already showed a smug smile, glanced proudly at the mysterious woman in the VIP room.

At that moment, a Yang family servant hurriedly ran up to the Old City Lord and whispered something into his ear!

Just now, Yang Kuo had finally shown a smug smile because the Level 6 Soul Armor belonged to him. However, his face immediately changed after hearing the servant’s words, becoming extremely ferocious!

“Dammit!! Why am I just getting this news now!!!”

Suddenly, Yang Kuo slammed the table and stood up. The fierce wind created by his anger blew the servant away, causing him to fall from the high spot. He rolled down the auction house stairs amidst the horrified gazes from the audience!

The incident immediately shocked everyone. People looked at the now embarrassed Yang family servant, and the auction abruptly stopped…

“Old City Lord, there’s no need to be so angry. No matter what the issue is, shouldn’t you at least wait for the auction to finish first?” The voice of the auction house president slowly emerged.

Yang Kuo’s face twitched as he received the news that several major industries in the east of Gangluo City had been robbed clean. The news had been delayed for several days!!
