Chapter 21: Auction in Progress (Part )
"This item looks like a sword fragment, but it is actually a fragment of an unknown artifact! A mysterious guest came to Mingdu today and offered this item to us. As for the origin of the item, I'm sorry, in order to protect the privacy of the distinguished guest, I cannot disclose it."

"I don't need to elaborate on how precious a divine weapon is. Even if it is just a small piece, if the great men of your families can study it thoroughly, it will be much more useful than a soul guide or something like that~"

On a counter, in a translucent glass box, the fragments of the Shura Sword lay quietly on a red cloth. A closer look revealed that the counter was made of a level 7 soul guide, and was only used to store a palm-sized fragment of the sword.

The artifact of the Douluo god, except when it is lighter in the hand, the rest of the weight in the outside world is tens of thousands of pounds. This fragment was exploded by a super artifact of a god king. Even if it is the size of a palm, it weighs tens of thousands of pounds. Only soul masters above the eighth-ring Soul Douluo can lift such a small piece of fragment.

This time, there was a subtle change in the voice of the female auctioneer's introduction. Unlike the previous voice that was somewhat seductive, her voice now had a more solemn tone, and her expression became serious. Just a few words were enough to make people fully feel her sincerity, and they couldn't help but believe every word she said.

After hearing what she said, the entire auction hall fell silent. Even those wearing masks and black robes could guess how much shock was revealed in everyone's eyes.

Divine weapon. There haven't been any gods in Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years and now someone can actually take out the fragments of divine weapons for auction. Who on earth is this person?
"The starting price is 100 million gold soul coins. Each bid increase cannot be less than 10 million gold soul coins."

Fortunately, when Lu Xueling released it, he did not say that it was the fragment of the artifact of the deceased Tang San, otherwise the price would have increased 100 times. Of course, as to whether the official auction organization believes these words or not, that is their business.

Of course, the fragments of the Shura Sword were cheap at 100 million gold soul coins. How could mortals understand the difference between a divine weapon and a super divine weapon? Anyway, even if they were given away for free, they would not be able to research anything.

When Lu Xueling unlocks the power of creation of the Key of God, will he still need these junks? It would be better to exchange them for hundreds of millions of dollars so that he can walk in the human world in the future.

The subsequent bidding could only be described as brutal. At the beginning, there were actually three parties competing, and the price continued to rise, and soon reached 130 million gold soul coins.

When the number reached, the bidding speed began to slow down. After all, this amount of money was definitely not something that ordinary people could come up with.

At this moment, the number suddenly changed: "One hundred and fifty million!"

One party actually directly added as much as 20 million.

In VIP Room No. 2, a young man stood in front of the box glass, clenching his fists: "Let's see who dares to compete with us this time!"

There were two people sitting on the sofa behind him, one was the old man who had been observing Box No. 1 from beginning to end, and the other was the girl who was giving him a massage.

"Grandpa, did I ask my brother to raise the price too much? Is it worth it?" The girl lowered her head and couldn't help but ask the old man.

The old man had a kind expression on his face and waved his hand nonchalantly: "I allowed that kid to raise the price. Xiao Meng, you are still young and don't understand the preciousness of the artifact. Grandpa understands, but what Grandpa is more curious about is the mysterious person who provided the artifact fragments to the auction..."

Xiao Meng's eyes rolled: "Is it in the box opposite us?"

The old man nodded slightly and glanced unconsciously under the red curtain. He vaguely saw four people sitting on the sofa. With his eyesight as a Titled Douluo, he could roughly guess that they were two men and two women, three adults and one child.

"One hundred and fifty million once, one hundred and fifty million twice, one hundred and fifty million three times, deal! Congratulations to the VIP in Box 2 for winning the sword fragment."

The number of 150 million gold soul coins finally stopped jumping. This astronomical figure was quite terrifying for any force. "Sure enough, everyone was scared by me." In the VIP room No. 2, the white-haired boy who was responsible for bidding snorted coldly, and his face became obedient when he turned his head: "Grandpa, this treasure is absolutely hot potato. After the transaction is completed, let's take it back to our college. As long as we enter Mingde Hall, I don't think anyone dares to covet it!"

The old man nodded and adjusted the frame of his glasses: "But when the auction is over, Grandpa plans to meet the person who provided this artifact fragment again."

"Grandpa, are you going alone?" Xiao Meng's pretty face showed a little worry.

The old man turned his wrist and smiled: "Don't worry, Xiao Meng, there are only a handful of people in this world who can threaten your grandfather. Grandpa will also send someone to escort you back to the academy. Be careful on the way."

"Xiao Hongchen, stop smiling so smugly! Hurry up and take the artifact fragments and Xiao Meng back."

The young man who was showing off in front of the box glass immediately became weak when he heard the old man's scolding: "Yes, Grandpa."

In VIP Room No. 1, Lu Xueling heard that the auction time for the fragments of Shura's Sword was over, and the expression on his face finally changed. He gently woke up Xilin who was taking a nap in his arms, and it was time to come to an end.

The finale is over, and the next item will be the highlight.

Although it may not be as good as the finale, it is definitely something that will catch people's eyes.

The cart carrying the fragments of the Shura Sword left the stage, and the female auctioneer walked to the front of the auction table. Her pretty face was slightly flushed, and she lowered her voice a bit, saying, "Dear guests, our top lot is about to be auctioned. This is also the last lot of today."

"Originally, it shouldn't be here. But in order to thank all the distinguished guests for their continued support for the Sun Moon Empire, with the permission of our chief auctioneer, we have specially added this item to the auction. Although its price is very high, I believe that everyone who truly understands it will feel that it is worth the money."

The cart slowly came up from one side of the auction table. The items were wrapped in red cloth and were not very big, only the size of an adult's palm.

On the stage, Qingya auctioneer has already started to introduce: "I'm sure everyone wants to know what this treasure is. It's getting late, and I never keep people in suspense. For a soul engineer, this item can be regarded as the most common but also the most indispensable close friend. It is a must-have for every soul engineer."

At the moment the cloth was lifted, everyone's eyes were drawn to it. The dazzling brilliance or peerless splendor that everyone expected did not appear.

What appeared was just a knife-like object that looked so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. Just as the female auctioneer said, this was something that any soul guide was very familiar with and indispensable.

It is about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger. From bottom to top, it changes from wide to narrow. The top is a very sharp tip, while the bottom is a sharp blade about half an inch wide. The whole thing is simple and black, with faint patterns engraved on it, exuding a faint ancient atmosphere, but also a bit gloomy.

This is the Sun-Moon Empire, the lair of soul masters. The moment the knife appeared, the pupils of all soul masters shrank rapidly. The appearance of this item shocked them.

"A carving knife?" The old man in fancy clothes in box number two frowned slightly.

Yes, this is the carving knife that a soul guide uses to engrave the core array. Both ends of the carving knife have different uses, and their uses are different when engraving different arrays. Any soul guide cannot do without a carving knife, which is a necessity for making soul guides.
