"Teacher, could it be that the Star Auction Pavilion has discovered the location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire?"
Yan Shaozhe shared almost the same thought as Elder Mu, believing the Eye's location had been revealed.
His voice was tinged with nervousness and excitement, his eyes filled with anticipation.
They were well aware of the preciousness of the immortal herbs that grew within the Yin-Yang Eye.
It could be said that any single herb could nurture a top talent, and Shrek Academy naturally didn't want to miss out on such a treasure.
However, the Star Auction Pavilion had successfully located the Yin-Yang Eye, and they couldn't just forcibly seize it.
Furthermore, the Star Auction Pavilion possessed two Ultimate Douluo masters, and given their academy's current situation, they simply couldn't compete head-on.
"Ignore it for now and wait and see,"
Elder Mu pondered for a moment, then said calmly.
His eyes revealed a calm and composed expression, as if pondering a deeper issue.
The appearance of the Qiluo Tulip shocked not only Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but other factions as well.
After all, they were well aware of the events that transpired within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ten thousand years ago. This, once again, made them realize the profound heritage of the Xingchen Auction Pavilion.
"As everyone knows, Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ten thousand years ago relied on this Qiluo Tulip to evolve her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower into a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Tower."
"The auction of this Qiluo Tulip has officially begun. The starting price is 10 million Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must be no less than 1 million Gold Soul Coins."
Jiang Li briefly introduced the Qiluo Tulip and announced its launch.
"10 million Gold Soul Coins!"
Ning Qitian, upon seeing the auction begin, raised his bid card without hesitation, joining the bidding.
His eyes were firm and determined, as if he had already secured the Qiluo Tulip.
"12 million Gold Soul Coins,"another resounding voice suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence.
The bidder stood up, holding their bid card high, their face a look of determination.
He attempted to outbid others with this price, seizing the initiative in this fierce competition.
"Interesting! Ten thousand years ago, was there a celestial tulip that could transform the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda?"
Zhongli Wu sat in the VIP seat, gently toying with his bidding card, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement.
As the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, he was generally well-informed, but now, facing this legendary celestial herb, his heart rippled with emotion.
In his mind, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit, as the pinnacle of support spirits, was universally acknowledged for its power.
However, its limitations were like invisible shackles, constraining a spirit master's path to growth.
He couldn't help but wonder: if this spirit truly evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, just like Ning Rongrong had ten thousand years ago,
how terrifying would the auxiliary power be?
And what earth-shattering impact would it have on the entire Douluo Continent?
Then Zhongli Wu began to formulate a plan, a plan quietly taking root within his mind.
The next moment, he slowly raised his bidding card and said in a steady and powerful voice, "15 million gold soul coins."
His tone was indifferent, as if these gold soul coins were just a trivial amount to him.
"What on earth is the Holy Spirit Church up to?"
Yan Shaozhe sat nearby, his brow furrowed in the shape of a "川" character.
He maintained a high level of vigilance over the Holy Spirit Cult's every move.
Seeing Zhongli Wu bidding, he was filled with confusion.
He felt the Holy Spirit Cult had always acted erratically. Their preoccupation with the Qiluo Tulip this time—could they be plotting some hidden agenda using the herb?
His gaze darted through the crowd, searching for a clue in their expressions, but the diverse expressions around him left him with nothing.
Not only Yan Shaozhe, but other top experts from every corner of the Douluo Continent were whispering among themselves, discussing the Holy Spirit Cult's motives in their pursuit of the Qiluo Tulip.
Some frowned, others looked thoughtful, each secretly speculating, trying to uncover the truth behind the Holy Spirit Cult's mysterious actions.
Meanwhile, Xu Jiawei, Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, rested his hand on his chin, lost in deep thought.
A bold hypothesis emerged in his mind, and he looked at Dai Hao beside him. "Do you think this Qiluo Tulip can have an effect on our Xu family's inherited Star Crown Martial Soul? Can it evolve like the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul?"
The Xu family's Star Crown Martial Soul and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul share some similarities, both belonging to the artifact-type Martial Soul category.
They also share some common abilities.
Since the Qiluo Tulip could rewrite the fate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul, could the Star Crown Martial Soul also experience a transformation?
"Your Majesty, that's not guaranteed,"
Dai Hao said slowly, standing aside.
"This situation only occurred once, ten thousand years ago, and that only allowed the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. As for whether the Star Crown Martial Soul can evolve, everything is unknown and requires further verification."
Xu Jiujiu sat next to Xu Jiawei, dressed in a gorgeous golden dress. She had a beautiful face and an elegant demeanor.
At this moment, she leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Brother, this Qiluo Tulip is a rare immortal herb, no matter what."
"Furthermore, according to the Xingchen Auction Pavilion, no matter what kind of martial spirit one possesses, consuming this Qiluo Tulip will bring significant benefits."
"Perhaps only the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial spirit can maximize the Qiluo Tulip's benefits, but it's certainly not ineffective for other martial spirits."
Her eyes flickered with curiosity and anticipation, clearly captivated by the mysterious charm of this immortal herb.
Xu Jiawei nodded slightly at his sister's words, his interest growing.
"In that case, why not try to bid for this Qiluo Tulip?"
Xu Jiujiu understood and immediately raised her bidding card, shouting out in a clear and loud voice, "20 million Gold Soul Coins."
Her voice echoed throughout the auction hall, drawing surprised glances from those around.
And so, the bidding war intensified.
Most of the top experts, caught up in the intense atmosphere, joined the competition.
Shrek Academy, the Dai family, and other factions did not participate.
Shrek Academy and the Dai family had a connection to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
They were well aware of the importance of this immortal herb to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and therefore were closely watching the auction.
Standing on the auction table, Jiang Li looked down at the crowd with a smile.
The more intense the competition, the greater his ultimate profit.
