Soul bones are very precious treasures in this world. For soul masters, they are even more precious than soul rings because they can be passed down from generation to generation. When the soul master who has fused the soul bone dies, the soul bone can be taken down and left for future generations to use. It is equivalent to a precious heirloom.
If ordinary people obtain spirit bones, even if they are only 100-year-old spirit bones, they will hide them and never reveal them. Because once you reveal that you have spirit bones, unless you are strong or have a strong background, there will be countless people eyeing your spirit bones and trying to kill people for them. After all, this thing is not like a spirit ring, which can be used by anyone as long as they get it.
This shows how precious soul bones are.
But now, someone actually suggested to publicly auction the soul bones!
And the auction was for three pieces, a total of three ten thousand year soul bones! !
As soon as the news of Tiandou Auction House came out, it caused a sensation across the continent in just one month. Countless people came with enough money and swarmed in.
Not only the Tiandou Empire, but also many forces in the Star Luo Empire brought enough money and came to the Tiandou Empire across the border just to buy this extremely precious soul bone! Even if they can't buy it, it's good to take a look and broaden their horizons.
In just one month, many unfamiliar faces appeared in the imperial city of Tiandou Empire. Countless people were eagerly waiting for the day when the auction would begin.
On the day when the auction was about to begin, Ye Cheng led Zhu Zhuqing, who had been practicing hard for a month, back to Tiandou City from the deep mountains and forests.
As soon as the master and disciple entered the city, they found that compared to a month ago, there were a large number of advertisements almost everywhere in the imperial city, all of which were promotional information for the soul bone auction at the Tiandou Auction House.
And it can be found that the proportion of soul masters among the pedestrians passing by has increased significantly. Obviously, these soul masters have come from other places. Some may just follow their elders to join in the fun and see the true appearance of the soul bones. Some may have bad intentions and try to kill people and steal the treasures after the auction.
Soon after Ye Cheng and Zhu Zhuqing entered Tiandou City, spies from various forces secretly passed the news of his arrival to the higher-ups. There was almost no privacy in his every move.
That's why Ye Cheng thinks being too famous is not a good thing. After all, everyone knows you, so anyone can be temporarily recruited as a spy, but you can't do anything about it. After all, you can't kill everyone who sees you.
Fortunately, his strength is now invincible, so it is not an exaggeration to say that his whereabouts have been exposed. It is not dangerous, after all, he is lucky not to cause trouble to others. How dare others provoke him?
These spies secretly monitored his behavior, which was more of a preventive measure. Ye Cheng was like carrying a nuclear bomb with him. Who would be nervous if a nuclear bomb that could explode at any time appeared in their home? If any of his subordinates were blind enough to provoke this big boss, wouldn't they suffer an unexpected disaster?
Therefore, it is very necessary to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Ye Cheng, this dangerous person, at all times.
Without paying attention to the prying eyes, Ye Cheng led Zhu Zhuqing and walked slowly to the Tiandou Auction House.
At the gate, a group of people had been waiting for a long time after receiving the news from their informants.
The leader was an unknown old man, whose strength was at the Soul Douluo stage, and the rest were several middle-aged men, all of whom were Soul Saints. The middle-aged manager of the auction house that day was also among them. It was obvious that these people were the senior executives behind the auction house.
"Your Excellency, welcome."
The leading Soul Douluo elder came forward, and said with a humble attitude and a smile on his face: "Your Excellency must be tired from the journey. The auction will start this afternoon, and our largest auction venue will be vacated by then. We have arranged a private room for Your Excellency, so Your Excellency may as well take a rest while you are free and wait for the auction to begin."
He was so tactful and humble. Ye Cheng naturally wouldn't pretend to be arrogant and show his disdain to others. Hearing this, he nodded calmly and said, "Thank you very much."
"Of course, of course. Your Excellency, you are too kind." The old Soul Douluo looked flattered and waved his hands repeatedly. In fact, he was not moved at all, and his fearful appearance was all fake.
To be honest, if Ye Cheng was not an Limit Douluo, his strength would be even more shocking, and he would kill a hundred thousand year old spirit beast as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. If he was just an ordinary Titled Douluo, the forces behind the old man would have dared to gather their strength and forcibly kill and rob.
So what if they are Title Douluo?
They are not without Title Douluo, plus there are other Soul Douluo and Soul Saint to assist them. When the time comes, they will use the human wave tactics. Even Title Douluo will have to kneel in the face of the unethical beating. Unless they are the kind of people who can escape, otherwise they will basically die.
No one really thinks that the Spirit Hall is the only place that hides Titled Douluo masters, right?
Although on the surface, there are only a handful of Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent. But in fact, some ancient family forces, such as the royal family, will definitely hide some strong people in secret. There are definitely some Titled Douluo-level strong people among them. Otherwise, how can such a huge empire be defended?
Hiding one's weaknesses is something that any force will do, and will never show all their strength to others. They will only reveal some harmless intelligence to the hostile forces to confuse the enemy.
Soon, it was time for the auction to begin.
The auction location is on the second floor of the auction hall.
There are eight staircases leading up from the lobby.
The old soul fighter acted as a guide, leading Ye Cheng and his apprentice to the auction site. Compared with the waiters at the gate, the waiters here were not dressed so formally.
The same white clothes, still skirts, but the feeling they give is completely different. The waiters at the auction center are all women, with similar heights, and all have extremely hot bodies.
The white skirts they wore were sleeveless, with a wide opening in front of their chests. The short skirts were just seven inches above their waists, revealing their soft and slender thighs. The white high heels made them even more seductive. The deep ravines in their chests and the raised buttocks under the short skirts were all very tempting.
Out of man's instinct, even Ye Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances. Well, just two glances. After all, he was a man who had seen the world, how could he be fooled by such beauty?
But the sharp-eyed Soul Douluo old man noticed Ye Cheng's gaze, and his heart suddenly moved. We are all men, and those who understand will understand. He immediately knew what gift to give to this big man after the auction.
