Chapter 149: The Third Auction Item: Soul Core?
On one hand, the gold soul coins from the continent had indeed been significantly depleted during the opening of the Starry Auction Pavilion two months ago. He also anticipated that most forces would not have many gold soul coins left to contribute.
Thus, this time he did not choose excessively precious items as auction items.
Of course, this does not mean that the items being auctioned were not valuable; it was just that their value lay in the last two items of the auction.
He believed that when the last two items appeared, it would once again ignite the entire Starry Auction Pavilion.
This time, what he aimed to do was use the final headlining auction item to usher in a new era for the Douluo Continent.
In the end, Jiang Li shook his head. He was not concerned with the final selling price of the first three auction items.
He quietly awaited the continuation of the auction.
Time passed quickly, and soon, more than ten minutes had gone by.
The price for the Heavenly Fire Fine Sand had soared to 500 million gold soul coins.
As soon as this price was called out by Mingde Hall's Jing Hongchen, Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu from Shrek Academy exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.
Their private funds were simply insufficient, so they had no choice but to abandon the Heavenly Fire Fine Sand, keeping their focus on ensuring Mu Lao's safety.
However, deep down, Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu were still somewhat unwilling. But at this point, there was nothing they could do.
Xian Lin'er thought for a moment—if necessary, she would pay some price in the future to acquire some Heavenly Fire Fine Sand from Mingde Hall.
Ling Yun looked down, seeing no further bids, and realized that this competition was about to come to an end.
"500 million gold soul coins, once!"
"500 million gold soul coins, twice!"
"500 million gold soul coins, three times!"
With no further bids, Ling Yun declared, "The second auction item, the Heavenly Fire Fine Sand, has been sold for 500 million gold soul coins!"
When the transaction was confirmed, Ning Qitian let out a long breath and took the Heavenly Fire Fine Sand that had been handed to him by the auction house.
It felt cold to the touch, and he quickly stored it away.
Whether or not the Heavenly Fire Fine Sand had such miraculous effects, he intended to test it once he returned.
Coincidentally, the day for the sect's children to awaken their Martial Souls was coming soon, and he would use this sand to see if more Martial Soul geniuses could be created.
His heart brimmed with anticipation, as if he could already see the hope of a new generation rising within his sect.
With the first item concluded, the atmosphere in the hall became lively again, as everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of the second auction item, wondering if it would bring the same unexpected surprise as the previous items.
"The first auction item has concluded, and now, let us welcome the second item of today's auction!"
Ling Yun clapped her hands to grab the attention of the audience, then lightly waved her right hand.
In an instant, the second auction item appeared on the stage.
The auction stage now held a wooden box containing three emerald-green pills.
The crowd was no stranger to pills as auction items, as they had appeared in previous auctions.
Those previous pills had all had incredible effects.
Now, they were curious about what kind of miraculous effect these three pills might have.
Since it was the third item up for auction, its value was surely far beyond their imaginations.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ling Yun, eagerly waiting for her to explain the specific effects of these three pills.
"The third auction item is about to begin. As you can see, the third item is also a pill, but the effect of these three pills may surprise you."
"The name of these pills is quite simple, and perhaps you can guess their specific effect just by the name."
"The name of the pill is: Soul Core Condensation Pill."
As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, most of the people present showed a look of surprise, especially the top powers of the Douluo Continent.
They were extremely familiar with Soul Cores.
They had not expected the Starry Auction Pavilion to present something like this, and they were utterly shocked.
They were eager to hear more from Ling Yun to see if it matched what they had imagined.
"Soul cores, as you should be familiar with, are the cores that human soul masters form when they break through the Title Douluo realm. Without the ability to form a Soul Core, it is nearly impossible to advance to the Title Douluo realm. Therefore, Soul Cores have become one of the major obstacles preventing soul masters from reaching the peak of the Douluo Continent."
"This Soul Core Condensation Pill has no other effect. Its only function is to help a soul master successfully condense their Soul Core with 100% success."
"Of course, this Soul Core Condensation Pill has another extraordinary feature: it can even help a Soul Douluo level soul master condense their first Soul Core, with a 100% success rate. However, this is of little use to regular people, and may even be harmful unless it is used by top talents or ambitious soul masters!"
After Ling Yun's explanation, the crowd was filled with astonishment.
When Ling Yun said the last part, the entire crowd erupted in astonishment.
"How is that possible?!"
"To condense a Soul Core at the Soul Douluo level!"
"Hiss, unbelievable!"
The entire atmosphere in the Starry Auction Pavilion became eerily quiet. Everyone was stunned by the effects of this pill, wondering if they had heard wrong.
At first, they thought that the Soul Core Condensation Pill, which could help a soul master 100% successfully condense their Soul Core, was already shocking enough.
But to think that it could allow a soul master at the Soul Douluo stage to condense their first Soul Core was truly extraordinary.
Such a situation was extremely rare on Douluo Continent.
Many people had never heard of a soul master being able to condense their first Soul Core at the Soul Douluo stage.
After all, even the top talents could only condense their first Soul Core when breaking through to the Title Douluo stage. How could this not shock everyone?
"Is it really true that the Soul Core Condensation Pill works like that?"
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe from Shrek Academy was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
It took a long while before he calmed down.
After all, this Soul Core Condensation Pill was simply too incredible. It could 100% help a soul master condense their Soul Core, which essentially meant that a Title Douluo could be born without any difficulty.
They knew that the majority of their Soul Douluo could not advance to the Title Douluo realm because the Soul Core was too difficult to condense.
What shocked him the most was that this Soul Core Condensation Pill could help a soul master condense their Soul Core at the Soul Douluo stage.
Throughout Shrek Academy's history, there were indeed a number of Soul Douluo who had condensed their Soul Core. However, those individuals all had top-tier Martial Souls, and their talent was exceptional.
They had even faced great difficulties in condensing their Soul Cores.
But this Soul Core Condensation Pill could 100% help a Soul Douluo level soul master condense their first Soul Core, which was simply unbeatable.
It could be said that as long as a soul master condensed their Soul Core before becoming a Title Douluo, they would certainly go far in the future without any accidents.
"Grand Elder, should we make a move and bid for this?"
Yan Shaozhe asked Grand Elder's opinion, as it was the Grand Elder who was leading the discussion. They had to wait for his decision.
At this moment, Grand Elder was also staring intently at the three Soul Core Condensation Pills, lost in thought.
However, his slightly rapid breathing revealed what was going through his mind.
If a Soul Douluo could condense a Soul Core, then in the future, without any accidents, they would certainly become a Super Douluo at level 95 or above.
Such powerful beings were the foundation of the academy.
These three Soul Core Condensation Pills could create three top-tier powerhouses. Even he couldn't remain calm.
