Chapter 78: Sky-High Price Deal
Jiang Li was also shocked by Di Tian's sudden high bid, his gaze immediately locking onto Di Tian.
Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a woman in a silver long gown standing beside Di Tian.
The woman's beauty was otherworldly, like a celestial being descended to the mortal realm, so stunning that it was impossible to forget after just one glance.
Jiang Li was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his composure.
He could clearly sense a powerful and mysterious aura emanating from the woman, and he speculated that this silver-haired woman must be the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na.
Jiang Li couldn't help but marvel inwardly. He hadn't expected that even Gu Yue Na would be attracted to this auction.
After some thought, he gradually formed an answer.
It must have been the effect of the Twin Soul Contract that Di Tian had successfully acquired earlier, sparking Gu Yue Na's keen interest in the treasures of the Star Auction Pavilion, which is why she had come personally.
"It seems I really chose the right auction item this time!"
Jiang Li looked at Di Tian and nodded in satisfaction.
The reason he had selected the Transformation Pills as the first auction item was to attract Di Tian's bid.
The Star Forest had countless top-tier treasures, and as long as a superpower like Di Tian participated in the bidding, the final price would undoubtedly reach sky-high numbers.
The higher the final price of each auction item, the greater the profit he would ultimately gain.
Jiang Li was quite satisfied with the current situation. He couldn't wait to see what astronomical price this auction would ultimately conclude with.
When Di Tian's resounding bid of 100 million Gold Soul Coins was called out, it was as if the entire Star Auction Pavilion was frozen by an invisible force.
Time seemed to freeze in that moment, and the entire auction hall fell into a brief but suffocating silence.
However, this oppressive silence didn't last long.
It was as if the powerful aura of Di Tian had inspired others, or perhaps their overwhelming desire for the Soul Power Pills had overcome their rationality.
Soon, a brief but intense bidding war erupted once more.
"150 million Gold Soul Coins!"
Di Tian spoke again, his tone as calm as a placid lake, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the room as if declaring to all competitors.
He was determined to secure these Transformation Pills.
No matter who wished to compete with him, he would go all the way, showing no fear.
With this shocking bid, those who had been holding on and attempting to continue the competition were now wearing helpless and unwilling expressions.
In the end, they had no choice but to gradually abandon this seemingly hopeless contest.
After all, in the face of Di Tian's immense financial resources and powerful strength, they felt small and powerless.
Jiang Li stood at the auction podium, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his gaze calmly sweeping over the entire room.
There was a fleeting moment of unnoticeable satisfaction in his eyes. It seemed he had already anticipated the way things would unfold, and everything was within his control.
"150 million Gold Soul Coins once!"
Jiang Li's voice rang out like a loud bell, echoing throughout the entire auction hall.
"150 million Gold Soul Coins twice!"
He called again, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
"150 million Gold Soul Coins three times!"
When no one else made a bid, Jiang Li slightly nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. He raised the auction hammer high, pausing in the air for a moment as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
Then, with a sharp "clang," the hammer came down with force, announcing the end of the fierce competition.
"Congratulations to bidder 72 from the 4th floor, who has won the first auction item for 150 million Gold Soul Coins!"
Jiang Li's voice was clear and strong, resonating throughout the auction hall, reaching everyone's ears.
Finally, Jiang Li's gaze shifted, his eyes sharply landing on Di Tian, a professional smile on his face as he said, "Please select the type of pill you require."
Di Tian sat in his seat, his posture straight, resembling a towering mountain, exuding a powerful and majestic aura.
His gaze was firm and sharp, showing no hesitation as he pointed toward the golden pills on the right.
His voice was deep and authoritative, as though it came from a deep valley: "Transformation Pills."
The voice carried an undeniable force, striking each person's heart like a heavy hammer, causing them to tremble inside.
Once Di Tian had paid the Gold Soul Coins, Jiang Li raised his right hand. A mysterious and gentle light flickered.
A powerful force, like an invisible hand, slowly brought the box containing the ten Transformation Pills to Di Tian's front.
When Di Tian reached out to take the box, his fingers tightened slightly.
He understood that these ten pills could very well become the key to changing the fate of the Soul Beast clan, carrying the hopes and future of their people.
Gu Yue Na sat beside Di Tian, her demeanor noble and mysterious, like an ethereal fairy who didn't belong to the mortal world.
She gazed at the pills in the box with focused curiosity, as if searching for the endless secrets hidden within them.
Her fingers gently touched the surface of the pill, and a strange energy, like a lively current, spread from her fingertips, coursing through her body, causing her to pause in surprise.
"The surface of the pill has a force that blocks my spiritual perception..."
She murmured softly, her voice as sweet as a nightingale's, yet carrying a hint of seriousness.
"The alchemist has infused a mysterious power into the pill that even I cannot fully decipher."
Xiong Jun and the others, hearing this, looked at the Transformation Pills with even greater awe. They all moved closer to examine the mysterious pills to uncover the secrets they held.
At that moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from a distance, streaking across the air in a beautiful arc like a falling star.
It was a small beast with a golden body and a vertical eye on its forehead—the auspicious beast of the Star Forest: the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Its eyes sparkled like two shining stars, filled with curiosity and longing.
It scratched at the edge of the box with its front paws, staring intently at the Transformation Pills with its vertical eye, making a small, childlike sound.
"I want to eat this!"
Di Tian frowned, a flash of helplessness in his eyes. He reached out to gently press the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's restless head, speaking in a serious tone.
"Don't be mischievous. The distribution of the Transformation Pills needs to be discussed after we return to the Star Forest."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion made a few disgruntled sounds, its eyes filled with disappointment. However, it dared not disobey Di Tian's order and reluctantly curled up at Gu Yue Na's feet, lying down on the ground.
From time to time, it raised its head and looked at the Transformation Pills in the box with a pitiful gaze, as if expressing its grievance and desire.
