A woman dressed in an exquisite red dress walked onto the auction stage and began a straightforward introduction.
"Welcome, honored guests, to the Heaven Soul Auction House's top-tier auction. I am Red-grade auctioneer Ai Ling. It is my honor…"
Ai Ling didn't bother with unnecessary chatter. In the past, she might have needed some theatrics to stir curiosity, but today there was no need—people from Tianting had already done the promotion for them.
At that moment, the auction staff pushed a small cart onto the stage.
Hanging on the cart's stand was a piece of dark-brown armor. The armor's lines were smooth, but it didn't shine; instead, it looked plain and unadorned.
Around the waist was a long blade, and on the back a mid-length cape—both the blade and the cape were as pitch-black as the armor.
"Let me introduce the blade first. Hanying Battle Blade—a seventh-rank soul tool. It comes with a soul skill, Shadow Assault. It activates quickly and strikes unexpectedly, making it very suitable for agility-type Soul Masters."
Ai Ling first introduced the long blade. Then she pulled off the cape.
"Hanying Cape—also a seventh-rank soul tool. Although it has no soul skill, the array engraved within greatly boosts the wearer's speed."
"Lastly, this armor—Hanying Battle Armor, a seventh-rank soul tool. Made from obsidian and various mixed metals, it can normally withstand a power-attack-type Soul King's fifth soul skill. Once infused with soul power, it can even resist a Soul Douluo's eighth soul skill under Martial Soul True Body."
"These three seventh-rank soul tools were crafted by a renowned eighth-rank Soul Engineer. When these soul tools were made, that master was already at the eighth rank. I cannot reveal their identity, but I can tell you this: when used together, these three soul tools are not inferior to most eighth-rank soul tools."
The crowd below was already itching to start bidding. They were eager to jump in immediately—and they couldn't help but admire the auction house's boldness. The very first item was not only three seventh-rank soul tools, but an entire matching set.
"The Hanying Set—starting bid: 800,000 gold soul coins. Each raise no less than 10,000. Honored guests, you may begin."
As soon as Ai Ling finished speaking, the crowd that had been waiting burst into action, raising their plates one after another.
"Eight hundred fifty thousand!"
"Eight hundred eighty thousand!"
"Nine hundred fifty thousand!"
…
Seventh-rank soul tools were always highly sought after—especially a complete set. Bidders raised relentlessly, the price soaring higher and higher until a middle-aged man in the black-grade VIP area bid 2.3 million, finally quieting the field.
Ai Ling showed a brilliant smile. For the very first auction item to reach such popularity was an excellent start. That alone made it worth bringing out these precious soul tools.
"Guest No. 18 bids 2.3 million. Any higher?"
"2.3 million once, 2.3 million twice, 2.3 million three times—sold! Congratulations to Guest No. 18 for winning the Hanying Set!"
After three calls with no further bids, Ai Ling struck the gavel, announcing the conclusion of the first item.
"The second item should be familiar to everyone—two Lingqiao Pills. As we all know, Lingqiao Pills expand the meridians and temper the body."
"And after consumption, anyone under rank seventy is guaranteed to increase one rank of soul power. If any honored guests here are stuck at a bottleneck, Lingqiao Pills are an excellent choice."
Ai Ling's voice carried strong persuasive power. Among the bidders were many stuck at rank fifty-nine or sixty-nine. Their eyes were blazing, spirits surging.
In the second-floor VIP room, Huo Yuhao stood before the one-way glass, calmly waiting for the true highlight—his own performance.
The first six items were decent, but none caught Huo Yuhao's eye. After the Lingqiao Pills, there would also be a half-finished eighth-rank soul tool and a book written by an eighth-rank Soul Engineer, which supposedly contained his lifetime insights.
Pa!
"Congratulations to VIP Room No. 5 for successfully winning the sixth item!"
With Ai Ling's gavel striking, Ning Zhiyuan in VIP Room No. 5 revealed a satisfied smile. The soul bone just auctioned came from a sixty-thousand-year-old fire-attribute soul beast—perfect for Yanhuang Douluo.
Naturally, Ning Zhiyuan had no intention of being stingy toward his wife. He decisively bid and secured it for 23 million gold soul coins.
After the sixth transaction concluded, Ai Ling stepped down from the platform. Immediately, a young woman in a golden gown took her place.
Everyone straightened up upon seeing her attire—even those in the second-floor VIP rooms. For a top-tier auctioneer to appear, the next items would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
"Greetings, everyone. I am Gold-grade auctioneer Weina. I will be serving you from here on. On behalf of the Heaven Soul Auction House, I would like to thank Tianting for providing three precious auction items."
As she spoke, Weina offered a polite bow toward VIP Room No. 1.
VIP Room No. 1 was precisely where Huo Yuhao and the others were seated.
However, someone in the audience suddenly asked in confusion, "Your Highness, wasn't the finale item said to be provided by the Clear Sky Sect? What is this Tianting? Why have I never heard of it?"
The question voiced the doubt in many people's hearts. Quite a few were still confused about it.
Weina smiled elegantly.
"It's normal that everyone hasn't heard of it. Tianting is still under construction. I will not give further details—its leader will appear later. So I won't waste more time."
"Now, I present the seventh item."
With a casual wave, five silver, crystal-like spheres floated into the air, gently swirling before Weina.
"These are Golden Keys. Each crystal is connected to an independent space. As long as a Soul Master possesses one, they can draw endless spirit energy from that space. The energy inside is incomparably pure. According to our testing, cultivating with a Golden Key yields efficiency roughly three times that of ordinary meditation and breathing."
"However, each Golden Key lasts only one year. After a year, the crystal can no longer connect to the independent space. Also, the Golden Key must recognize a master. To do so, simply drip a drop of blood onto the crystal."
"One more reminder: after recognition, no one except the owner can use the Golden Key. If another person attempts to force usage, the crystal will self-destruct."
"Everything stated is absolutely true. If any honored guests still have concerns, you may come on stage to examine it yourselves."
As she spoke, Weina produced another silver crystal sphere identical to the first five.
"The one in my hand is slightly different—it is a sample prepared by Tianting for everyone. Its duration is only one day, but it has no master-recognition restriction. Anyone with doubts may come on stage and experience it personally."
