Chapter 71: So-called pride is nothing but fart (3k, please subscribe!)
After receiving a positive response from Electrolux, Wang Lin kept the Sunset Forest in his heart.
In the next few days, while waiting for the auction to start, Wang Lin would occasionally go to the competition site to watch the competition. Needless to say, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy made great progress and easily advanced to the top eight.
The situation at Shrek Academy is much more difficult. As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
It was not surprising for Shrek Academy, which had always been the champion of the competition, to win the competition again. However, it was quite a topic when Shrek Academy blatantly cheated in the competition.
Overnight, Shrek Academy gained countless black fans.
However, we have to say that Beibei and the others are still capable. Even though Xu Sanshi and He Caitou were suspended for two rounds, Shrek Academy actually relied on its explosive growth to advance to the quarterfinals.
Although Shrek Academy’s trump card has almost been exposed.
As the list of the top eight was released, Xing Luo officially announced a one-day break, mainly to repair the competition table that had been damaged after countless battles, and also to allow the contestants enough time to recover so that they could play a more exciting game.
It was also the day of the off-season, and the large-scale auction held by the Starlight Auction House was officially held.
Wang Lin and Long Xiaoyao, wearing golden masks, entered the auction hall early. Under the arrangement of the staff, they walked into the top auction hall No. 1.
They had the highest authority and were arranged in Room 4 of Auction Hall No. 1.
Room No. 4 is 200 square meters in size and is decorated in the utmost luxury. The whole room is rectangular, and one of the long walls is crystal clear and white.
That wall alone was without any decoration.
The large sofa is made of unknown animal skin, and the long white hair is extremely soft. When people sit on it, they feel comfortable and have good support.
On the jade table in front of the sofa, there were various drinks, liquor and food.
Wang Lin knew the rules of the auction in advance, so he did not ask the maids arranged by the auction house to stay and serve, but sent them out directly.
Sitting on the sofa with Long Xiaoyao, Wang Lin took out a palm-sized dark yellow crystal and rubbed it in his palm.
This piece of ten thousand year old whale glue was the finale product of the last small auction held by the Starlight Auction House, and was successfully bought by Wang Lin for 500,000 yuan.
Of course, he hasn’t paid yet, he used the credit limit he had at the Starlight Auction House.
Soon, the entirely white wall suddenly lit up with a soft light, and Xu Jiujiu, wearing a red dress, appeared in the center of the screen.
Seeing this, Wang Lin and Long Xiaoyao were not surprised. It was just a light-guiding screen. The master and disciple had seen it many times in the Sun and Moon Empire.
Xu Jiujiu, who was wearing a red dress on the screen, smiled and said, "Hello, distinguished guests. I am today's auctioneer Jiujiu. I am honored to host this top auction. Your time is precious. Our auction will begin now. Now, please appreciate the first lot of today's auction."
As soon as she finished speaking, the soft light-guiding screen changed.
The full length of the blade is four feet and six inches, and the widest part of the back is one inch, in the style of a saber, and the handle has a slightly bone-like shape from the guard to the guard. The guard is very wide, and it is a tiger-head-shaped long sword that replaces Jiujiu and appears in the center of the screen.
"Ba Hu Soul Refining Sword, an eighth-level close-range soul guide. It solidifies its soul bone skill Ba Dao Zhan. It can also increase the attack power of similar soul skills by 50%."
He slowly introduced the items for a long time before finally stating the price of the Overlord Soul Refining Sword.
"The starting price of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is 600,000 gold soul coins. Each bid must be no less than 5,000 gold soul coins. The auction begins. If no one bids within one minute, the auction is closed."
I have to say, it’s quite handsome.
Wang Lin looked at the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword on the optical screen and felt deeply moved, but he had no intention of making an offer.
But even though Wang Lin did not make any bid, there were still many people who liked the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword. As soon as Xu Jiujiu finished speaking, someone had already made a bid.
The optical screen changed and turned a light white. The previous image of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword faded into the background, and a huge number of six hundred thousand appeared on the screen.
Then the number kept jumping, all the way to 1.56 million gold soul coins. Xu Jiujiu's figure appeared on the screen again with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your support for this auction, the VIP who just won the Tiger Soul Refining Knife. Now, we will start the second lot."
The second lot was a complete set of custom-made soul-guided artillery shells, which was sold for only 655,000 yuan.
Wang Lin watched the auction with great interest. The next few items to be auctioned were the left arm bone, the right arm bone, the left leg bone, an extremely rare metal, and an eighth-level long-range attack soul guide.
Although the attributes of the three soul bones did not match Wang Lin's attributes, Wang Lin still called out a few prices to get a feel for what an auction was like.
Soon, Xu Jiujiu's figure disappeared from the screen again, and was replaced by the eighth lot.
The moment a soul bone that was completely green appeared on the big screen, Wang Lin stood up directly from the sofa.
At the same time, Xu Jiujiu's voice sounded, "Dear guests, this Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone is 50,000 to 70,000 years old. Although it is not a 100,000-year-old soul bone, it is considered a top-level soul bone."
"Shouldn't it be?" Wang Lin muttered as he looked at the soul bone on the screen. However, Long Xiaoyao beside him shook his head indifferently.
"What's wrong with that? It's just a coincidence. Our soul bone is about 30,000 to 50,000 years old, not as good as the one being auctioned now. But Xiao Linzi, you can buy this soul bone. After all, soul bones from the same soul beast and in the same position can be fused!"
“Then buy it!” Wang Lin nodded without hesitation. Given his current relationship with Huo Yuhao, no one could get the better deal than Huo Yuhao.
What surprised Wang Lin was that the one in his hand was not the one in the original book.
Just when Wang Lin made up his mind, Xu Jiujiu finished introducing the advantages and disadvantages of the Ice Scorpion's left arm bone.
The disadvantage is that the absorption attribute is limited, and the advantage is that the soul skill solidifies the top-level ice explosion technique.
At this moment, a maid suddenly came to Xu Jiujiu, who was still bragging about the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, and whispered something in his ear.
It took a long time for him to come back to his senses and he quickly ended the introduction. The scene changed and the Ice Scorpion's left arm bone appeared on the big screen again.
Looking at this strange scene, Wang Lin thought to himself that something was wrong and said, "Master, I'm going to go out for a while. Someone is going to be fooled."
"Yeah." Long Xiaoyao nodded without asking any more questions.
Wang Lin walked out of the room directly and ran into Xu Jiujiu who was walking with Qingya.
"Princess Jiujiu, where are you going?"
"This..." Xu Jiujiu frowned, thinking about how to answer Wang Lin. According to the news from Shrek Academy, the soul bone of the Ice Scorpion seemed to have more stringent conditions for absorption.
If this news is true, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of the auction house.
"Did anyone say that there is something wrong with the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul bone?" Wang Lin asked directly. As soon as these words came out, Qingya and Xu Jiujiu's faces tightened, with some surprise obviously on their faces.
“It is indeed the case.” Wang Lin nodded, “If someone says that the Ice Jade Scorpion’s soul bone requires extreme ice to absorb because of some inexplicable pride, please ignore it.
The so-called pride is nothing but bullshit, it is just the influence of the residual soul of the Ice Jade Scorpion. As long as there is a way to remove the residual soul in the bones, the ice attribute soul master can absorb it. "
As he spoke, the storage soul guide on Wang Lin's body flashed, and a emerald green soul bone that was the same as the auction item but a little smaller appeared in his hand. He handed the soul bone to Xu Jiujiu.
"Your Highness, can you try and feel the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone that removes the residual soul?"
He looked at the other Ice Scorpion's left arm bone for a long time, his eyes widened, he glanced at Wang Lin, and still reached out to take the soul bone, and a faint soul power penetrated into the emerald green soul bone.
A hint of chill filled the air, and Xu Jiujiu narrowed his eyes, cutting off the connection with the soul bone in his hand.
As an auctioneer at the Starlight Auction House, in order to understand the condition of the soul bones before the auction, Xu Jiujiu would personally feel the condition of the soul bones. The same was true for the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion. The soul bone used for the auction had a strong sense of rejection when it was absorbed.
Only when an ice-attributed soul master absorbs that feeling of repulsion will it be weakened. However, the soul bone in her hand now has no feeling of repulsion, only that biting chill.
Realizing the gap, Xu Jiujiu believed what Wang Lin said, returned the soul bone in his hand to Wang Lin, and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to give this soul bone."
“No.” Wang Lin shook his head. “Princess, please go and take a look at the situation. I took out this soul bone just because I don’t want your auction house to be deceived and affect the subsequent auctions.”
"Okay, thank you again, Your Majesty!" Xu Jiujiu nodded, turned around and left, "Then I'll take my leave first, Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Wang Lin nodded, watched Xu Jiujiu and Qingya leave, and quickly walked towards Room 7. He knew that was the room where Shrek Academy was located.
Ignoring Xu Jiujiu, Wang Lin, holding the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone in his hand, did not rush back, but walked towards Room No. 3.
This room is where the Day and Night Royal Soul Instructor Academy is located. Before the auction started, Xiao Hongchen invited Wang Lin to participate, but was rejected by Wang Lin.
Bang bang bang!
After knocking on the door of room number three, a maid soon opened the door. After announcing something, Wang Lin walked straight into room number three.
The layout of the rooms was similar. Jing Hongchen, the two teachers, Ma Rulong, and the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were sitting on the sofa at the moment, looking at Wang Lin who suddenly appeared, and were very surprised.
"Dean, I suggest you buy that Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone!" Wang Lin said directly in a deep voice, waving the soul bone in his hand.
Jing Hongchen frowned and was about to speak, but his eyes were attracted by the soul bone in Wang Lin's hand.
"What is that?"
"Yes, this is also the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion." As soon as Wang Lin said this, Jing Hongchen immediately stood up and looked at his granddaughter.
Without Wang Lin saying anything at this moment, Jing Hongchen also had the idea of buying the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone that was being auctioned.
The soul bones of the same soul beast and the same part can be fused. The value of two Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bones together is much higher than the value of the two Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bones separately!
