Chapter 186 The auction begins
After some introduction, Qingya took everyone to a lounge filled with all kinds of expensive luxury items. It was the kind of room that was obviously reserved for rich people.
This is a room of about two hundred square meters. The interior decoration is extremely luxurious. Precious wood, jade, and various decorations that are obviously expensive at first sight. The decoration here is full of luxury, but it also has a strange feeling that you have to praise it for being elegant.
Room No. 7 of the No. 1 auction room of the Starlight Auction House is decorated with extremely luxurious decoration.
The entire room is rectangular, with one wall on the long side being crystal clear and white. Only that wall had no 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.
The sofa was large enough to accommodate at least twenty people, and on the jade table were placed various drinks, liquor and food.
In the middle of the room there is a wall that looks like a large electronic screen in Xu Xingyu's previous life.
According to Qingya's introduction, it was a light-guided screen specially customized by the Starlight Auction House in the Sun-Moon Empire. It could transmit images in a special way. Its core array was not driven by soul power, but by a kind of ore from the Sun-Moon Empire.
This is to protect the privacy of every buyer at the auction, and each invited party is given their own separate room.
After everyone found a seat and sat down, Qingya used the light guide screen to start explaining the various rules of the auction and how to pay.
After that, everyone found a comfortable seat on the sofa, ate the food and drinks provided by the auction venue, and waited for the auction to begin.
During this time, everyone was doing their own thing, some chatting, some practicing, and so on.
Among them, Wang Yan discussed with the auctioneer named Qingya the tedious matters of expanding the Starlight Auction House's business in Shrek City.
Soon the light-guiding screen began to move, which meant that the auction was about to officially begin.
The golden light on the soul guide screen gradually converged, and a melodious voice sounded, "Welcome all distinguished guests to the top auction at the Starlight Auction House. Today, we will present a total of nine precious lots to you. The value of the lots will be from low to low. Go up and show it to all the distinguished guests. I hope all the distinguished guests like it."
The soul guide screen became clear again, and the previous platform was covered with a layer of faint white. In the middle of the platform, stood a girl in a red dress.
This girl looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was even comparable to Jiang Nannan's. And because she is several years older than Jiang Nannan, her figure is extremely developed. A red dress and gauze set off the ice-cold skin, giving people a perfect feeling. Curiously, there was no auction table on the platform she was on.
This girl was none other than Xu Jiujiu, the other fiancée that Xu Xingyu didn’t know how to deal with. She was also Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Xing Luo Empire.
As Xu Jiujiu appeared, Wang Donger and Jiang Nannan who were sitting next to Xu Xingyu, and Xu Yanxue who was sitting in front of him all frowned.
They knew about their competitor Xu Jiujiu, especially Jiang Nannan, after all, they had met before when they dealt with the soul beast embryos.
However, they did not expect that the other party, as a princess of a country, would be willing to be an auctioneer, and judging from her clothes, she should be a so-called gold-level auctioneer, the top auctioneer in the Xingluo Empire!
There was not much surprise about Xu Jiujiu appearing as Xu Xingyu here, not only because Xu Jiujiu appeared as the auctioneer in the original work, but also because the two had mentioned it when they chatted before.
Although Xu Xingyu was a little confused about how to handle her relationship with Xu Jiujiu, she still admired her abilities.
After all, this princess is not just a vase for Xing Luo to marry. She not only helps manage the financial affairs of the Xing Luo Empire, but is also granted certain military powers by the current Emperor.
It is true that to a certain extent, the reason for giving her military power was mainly to restrict the White Tiger clan, the old royal family, but if she herself did not have a certain talent in this area, she would not be given military power.
It can be said that if we only consider management ability and interpersonal relationships, Xu Jiujiu should be the best woman Xu Xingyu knows.
Why would such an outstanding woman be forced to marry Xu Xingyu by her own family? There should be a limit to the ruthlessness of the royal family, right?
Originally, Xu Xingyu thought that after the White Tiger Family lost the imperial power, the royal family on the Xingluo side would not be like Wannian, who had to kill all the brothers fighting for the throne.
In fact, the Xu family is the current royal family. They are not as strong and ruthless as the White Tiger clan, but they are royal family after all. As long as it is for the benefit of their country, there is nothing wrong with marrying off a capable princess.
At this time, the voice of Xu Jiujiu came from the optical screen: "Hello, distinguished guests. I am today's auctioneer Jiujiu. It is my honor 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 she spoke, she smiled sweetly, performed a complicated but very elegant etiquette, and made a "please" gesture with her right hand. Suddenly, the screen changed, and an object appeared on the soul guidance screen on the entire wall.
It was a sharp blade, four feet six inches long, and one inch wide at the widest part of the blade. It was in the style of a saber, with a slight bone shape from the handle to the guard. The guard was a crystal yellow tiger head style.
According to Xu Jiujiu on the screen, this sword is called the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword, and it is an eighth-level close-body soul guide device.
Its material is extremely precious, and a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast was used in its production, giving it a solidified soul bone skill, Tyrant Blade Slash, which has the ability to amplify the attack power of similar soul skills by 50%.
Overall, it is an excellent soul guide. Although the quality of the soul bone is not very high, the soul guide made by this method has a quality far beyond the close-range soul guide of the same level.
If one wants to use it, then the level must be at least the strength of a Soul Saint. If it is below that, it is likely that the soul guide device cannot be activated.
In Xu Xingyu's opinion, the only soul guides with higher quality than the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword can be produced by the Qi Ling Tower and Mingde Hall.
In the end, Dai Yueheng bought the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword for 1.56 million gold soul coins.
