Chapter 131: Special Auction Items

"Afterwards, about one-third of the entire courtyard collapsed directly.

And when the three Education Committee Members caught up, Dugu Bo, who had originally wanted to kill, no longer appeared so agitated; Zhou Heng had not suffered any injuries, and before leaving, he guaranteed that he would not threaten Zhou Heng's life.

Seven days later, Dugu Bo appeared at one of our properties and, in public, purchased some training materials for a junior Spirit Master, and also displayed the relationship between the two to outsiders.

Jian Shu, don't you think this person is a bit too special?"

Ning Fengzhi narrated his investigation into Zhou Heng, his eyes gradually filling with curiosity.

"Fengzhi, what do you mean?

Is someone plotting against that old poison-hag Dugu Bo?"

"No, Jian Shu.

Someone is plotting against Dugu Bo, but this Zhou Heng is definitely not one of them.

Being able to attract Dugu Bo's attention must be because this person is too special himself.

There are many people in the world with special talents; these talents might be related to their martial soul, or they might be completely unrelated to their martial soul. Perhaps this Zhou Heng is one of those people with special talents."

Ning Fengzhi was very interested in Zhou Heng.

This interest was the good kind of interest, not the bad kind.

Zhou Heng had previously received favors from his disciple Xue Qinghe, and in the future, he would likely be a member under Xue Qinghe's command.

Although Dugu Bo owed Xue Xing a favor, he had repaid it several times over the years, but he had simply never resigned from his position as an Honorary Elder.

Looking at this situation, Zhou Heng was completely a target that could be won over.

Even if it were impossible to have him join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it would not hinder leaving a good impression for more interaction in the future.

As an old-established sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had ways of handling things both openly and secretly, and they had not rarely targeted the geniuses of those hostile forces.

Ning Fengzhi did not deny this at all.

But if possible, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still tried to prioritize winning people over; even if they did not enter their sect, they could still gain a friend.

If that failed, and it was determined that this genius would definitely or likely stand in opposition to them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would then strike to kill without hesitation to avoid the sect being threatened in the future.

As a sect dominated by Support System Martial Souls, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's way of standing in the world was to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

Stay neutral if possible; if you can't stay neutral, then strike cleanly so no one can catch you by the handle.

Since Poison Douluo said Zhou Heng's talent was excellent, and Jian Shu also indicated that he was not an ordinary Spirit Master.

Then Ning Fengzhi should consider how he should invest in Zhou Heng.

Time passed bit by bit, and the auction finally began.

It was unknown what mechanism was activated, but seventy percent of the lights in the auction house suddenly disappeared, becoming very dim.

The ordinary buyers sat on their stools, looking just like elementary school students sitting in a movie theater waiting for a film.

A large number of light beams shone down from the ceiling, making the stage bright; a female auctioneer with fox ears on her head and a snow-white tail swaying behind her stood in the center of the stage, bowing slowly with a smile on her face.

"Greetings, distinguished guests, I am A Zhen, a gold-medal auctioneer from the Heaven Dou Royal Auction House.

From now on, I will be hosting this auction."

"This auction is a Spirit Master resource session, with a total of twenty-two treasures up for auction.

All have been certified by appraisal personnel and are rare treasures in the outside world.

I wish you all success in finding treasures suitable for yourselves."

"The following is the first auction item of our auction house."

The auctioneer who called herself A Zhen clapped her hands with a smile.

Several burly men walked up carrying a cabinet covered with a layer of black cloth.

A Zhen uncovered the black cloth on the cabinet, revealing the item inside.

Inside the cabinet was a huge glass jar filled with pale green liquid, with a basketball-sized heart submerged in the liquid, faintly emitting a crimson luster.

"Eight Thousand Year Volcano Earth Dragon Heart, taken from the Volcano Earth Dragon, a well-known fire-attribute Earth Dragon subspecies from the Red Flame Mountain Range.

After appraisal, its heart contains a trace of bloodline power left behind by a fire-attribute True Dragon, and its quality far exceeds that of an ordinary Earth Dragon."

"Starting bid, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, with a minimum increment of 100 Gold Soul Coins per bid."

"The bidding starts now!"

Although a fire-attribute Earth Dragon was not a good thing at all for Zhou Heng, for an ordinary Spirit Master family, this was truly a decent training material.

Especially for those Dragon martial soul Spirit Masters and fire-attribute martial soul Spirit Masters, this well-preserved heart could play a significant role.

Not to mention that it also contained power related to a fire-attribute True Dragon.

A True Dragon, on the Douluo Continent, was a particularly noble existence.

Just as the bidding began, this heart was bid up to fifteen thousand Gold Soul Coins, and after a brief pause, it rose directly to twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Finally, after a round of intense competition, it was purchased by a middle-aged man wearing a mask for twenty-six thousand Gold Soul Coins.

In fact, in terms of market price, twenty-six thousand Gold Soul Coins was already somewhat of a premium.

But an auction is just that kind of thing; under stimulating bidding, it is not rare for items to be sold at a premium several times higher than the market price.

And the Earth Dragon heart was just an appetizer for this auction.

The second auction item was the skeleton of a top-tier ten-thousand-year ice-attribute Spirit Beast, which contained powerful ice-attribute power.

Zhou Heng only looked at the skeleton a few times before determining that this skeleton must have come from the Extreme North.

He felt some emotion that it was indeed the Royal Auction House to be able to bring up things from the Extreme North in this era.

The skeleton containing ice-attribute power was acquired by an ice-attribute Soul Emperor for the price of forty-nine thousand Gold Soul Coins.

The next item to come on stage was a huge fire-attribute ore.

This ore was placed on a huge rack, about half a person tall, with powerful and pure fire-attribute soul power condensed upon it.

Even just being exposed to the air, it was passively repelling other attribute soul powers in the air and gradually converting non-attribute soul power toward fire-attribute soul power.

It was as if it were a crystallization of the fire element itself made manifest.

"This item is called Earth Vein Flame Crystal; it is extremely beneficial for the cultivation of fire-attribute Spirit Masters, and can be used to create an excellent fire-attribute Mimicry Cultivation Field."

"The starting bid is one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, with a minimum increment of no less than one thousand Gold Soul Coins per bid."

The auctioneer named A Zhen only gave a simple introduction to this item, looking completely unlike a qualified auctioneer.

Many people in the venue felt confused about this thing called Earth Vein Flame Crystal, but only a few people, including Zhou Heng, understood why this auctioneer had glossed over the introduction so quickly.

Because the way to obtain the Earth Vein Flame Crystal carries a bit of a taboo.

Chen Ming had seen records regarding this type of crystal in Dugu Bo's collection of books.

Earth Vein Flame Crystal only appears in places where fire-attribute soul power, such as in volcanoes, has condensed in large quantities; its essence is a crystal formed from the accumulation of massive amounts of fire-attribute soul power and the remains of fire-attribute Spirit Beasts after they die, having settled in the earth for tens of thousands of years.
