Chapter 121: The Xingluo Empire's Conspiracy "Today, we will present nine precious items to you, our distinguished guests. We will display them in order of value from low to high. I hope you will like them." On the soul guide screen, an auction table filled with a light mist appeared, looking ethereal. In the middle of the platform stood a beautiful girl in a red dress with elegant manners. "Hello, distinguished guests. I am today's auctioneer Jiujiu. It is my honor to host this auction. Your time is precious. The auction will begin now. Now, please appreciate the first lot of today's auction." Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly and performed a very complicated etiquette. Suddenly, an item appeared on the soul guide screen beside her. "How come auctioneers nowadays are so elegant and have such great figures? This is what a woman is, Fang Yuan, don't you think?" Xiao Hongchen winked at Huo Yuhao. Before Huo Yuhao could say anything, he felt a piercing chill surge around him again, and he couldn't help but shiver. "Haha, Xiao Hongchen, you have a really good vision, but what you mean is that I'm not a woman, right?" Meng Hongchen asked with a smile. Xiao Hongchen's face changed drastically, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he explained tremblingly: "Meng, this auctioneer looks very old, but she just has the advantage of age. You are much younger than her. In a few years, she will be an old woman. You definitely have a promising future."

Huo Yuhao’s gaze swept across Meng Hongchen’s chest imperceptibly. Well, I can only say that the phrase "the future is promising" is used very well. "Hmph" Meng Hongchen snorted coldly, turned his head away and didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Hongchen. "Ahem." Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and came out to smooth things over. "This auctioneer seemed to be performing the court etiquette of the Xing Luo Empire just now. I guess he is not an ordinary auctioneer. Could he be a member of the royal family of the Xing Luo Empire?" Qingya looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise and said, "This distinguished guest has good eyesight. Auctioneer Jiujiu is the chief auctioneer of our Xingluo Auction House and the youngest sister of the current emperor. According to the rules, we have to call her His Highness Jiujiu." After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. At the same time, they felt it was incredible. A princess of a country actually came to be the auctioneer in person? While being surprised, everyone's eyes were also attracted by the auction item No. 1 that appeared on the screen, and Princess Jiujiu's voice was heard: "The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade. An eighth-level close-range soul guide. The material is extremely precious. The main material is a right arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast. It has a soul skill Tyrant Blade Slash solidified in it, and it can also increase the attack power of similar soul skills by 50%." "Please note, distinguished guests, that when this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword attacks, each strike can carry the Tyrant Sword Slash effect, and its effect can be superimposed with similar attack soul skills. In addition, under the effect of its core soul guidance array, the soul power consumed is only one-third of the normal situation." "Finally, this sword was produced by Mingde Hall of the Sun-Moon Empire. Anything produced by Mingde Hall must be of top quality. With it, it is no longer impossible for a Seven-ringed Soul Saint to challenge a Soul Douluo. Watch for five minutes." Everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Team was stunned. Good man, you are going to show off in front of me, right? You are going to sell our Sun and Moon soul guides at your Xingluo’s top auction. Do you mean to let our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy buy it back, and you make pure profit from the difference? Exports have been converted to domestic sales. Xiao Hongchen's face suddenly turned dark. When would Mingdetang's eighth-level soul guide be able to be so openly found in the Xingluo Empire? Although it is only a close-range soul guide device, an eighth-level soul guide device is considered a very precious controlled material even in Mingde Hall. Since the Xingluo royal family is willing to put it up for auction so generously, it is very intriguing how many of the same type of eighth-level soul guide devices they have. "The viewing time is up. The starting price of the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword is 600,000 gold soul coins. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 gold soul coins. If no one bids within one minute, the auction will be completed!"

The screen changed, turning a pale white, and a huge number of six hundred thousand appeared on the screen. Although the Overlord Soul Refining Sword is of good quality, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy are not interested in being wronged and paying money to get it back. It is impossible to make a scene on the spot because this is the territory of the Star Luo Empire. What's more, it's just an eighth-level close-range soul guide device, so it's not necessary to do this. Huo Yuhao remembered that in the original novel, this thing was bought by Dai Yueheng, but due to the change of the cause and effect line, Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao and other three Shrek main players seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and did not appear at this auction. Finally, this eighth-level soul guide was bought by an unknown force for two million gold soul coins. Princess Jiujiu, in a red dress, appeared on the screen again. She saluted with a sweet smile and said, "Thank you for your support to the auction house for winning the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife. Now, we will start the second set of auction items. Although they are disposable items, they are very rare. Please take a look, dear guests." As soon as he finished speaking, the soul guide screen was suddenly divided into twelve areas, and the items in each area looked somewhat similar. These twelve objects are all cylinders, with one side conical and the other side round. They are the same shape, the only difference is the color. "Fixed-type soul guide shells!" The people of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Team blurted out, their voices filled with shock. Xiao Hongchen stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief. Princess Jiujiu's voice echoed in the room: "These twelve fixed-type soul guide shells are also produced by Mingde Hall. We collected them with great difficulty. Each of them has a different effect. If used properly, they can even threaten the life of a soul fighter." "If measured by soul guide level, each of them is at least equivalent to a level 6 soul guide. The twelve have different properties and require at least a level 6 fixed soul guide cannon to fire. If continuous firing is required, a level 7 or higher fixed soul guide cannon is required. Time for viewing, five minutes." For a moment, everyone in the box fell silent, frowning slightly. "Even such a strategic weapon could have leaked out to the Xing Luo Empire. Is there a traitor inside Mingde Hall?" Xiao Hongchen murmured in disbelief. "Be careful with your words!" Old Ma shouted. In fact, Xiao Hongchen was only speaking out the thoughts of everyone present. These twelve-unit fixed-type soul guide shells may seem to be just twelve level six soul guide devices, but as weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield, they should be strictly controlled by Mingde Hall and the Sun-Moon Empire military. The fact that it can flow out to the enemy country means that there are problems within the Sun-Moon Empire itself. Huo Yuhao said nothing. At this time, it was best to remain silent. He had no interest in interfering in the internal affairs of the Sun-Moon Empire. To put it bluntly, the high-ranking officials of the Sun-Moon Empire might not trust him at this time. At the same time, Huo Yuhao also came to his senses. The fact that the Xingluo Empire auctioned off such a strategic weapon with obvious political tendencies at such a top auction was undoubtedly sending a signal to all forces participating in the auction. It seemed to be saying that the Sun-Moon Empire was not a monolithic entity. Second, it can also plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. When the competition is over, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Team will pass the news back to the country, which may cause a civil strife between Mingde Hall and the Sun-Moon Empire army. A complete conspiracy. When the appreciation time was up, Xu Jiujiu's voice sounded again: "Dear guests, this set of fixed-installation soul guide shells is very complete. Even for Mingde Hall itself, it is not easy to collect such a complete set of fixed-installation soul guide shells. It is worth the money whether it is for collection or use." "Starting price: 650,000 gold soul coins!" In the end, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Team did not participate in the auction, and this set of fixed-type soul guide shells was still won by other forces. The reason for not participating in the auction is simple. The fact that the Xingluo Royal Family can put this sixth-level fixed-type soul guide artillery shell up for auction shows that they have learned something from it, and there is no point in bidding it back.

Since the technology has already leaked out, there is nothing to say. The Sun-Moon Empire just has to accept it. It was just a sixth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell, which the Sun-Moon Empire could actually still accept. The technological growth required for each additional level of fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells cannot be achieved in just three to five years. Perhaps the sixth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon is already considered a high-end weapon for Douluo Three Kingdoms. But for the Sun-Moon Empire, it is far from reaching the high-end ranks, and at most it is at the mid-range weapon level. And even if it was cracked, what would happen? The weapon manufacturing level of Douluo Three Kingdoms was also far behind that of the Sun and Moon Empire. The complete and huge soul guide industrial system and the ability to mass-produce soul guide weapons in a short period of time are the basis for the Sun-Moon Empire to look down upon the Three Kingdoms of Douluo. But even so, Xiao Hongchen still complained unhappily: "When the competition is over and I return home, I will definitely file a complaint with Grandpa and thoroughly investigate the spies and traitors in the academy." Qingya was silent as a mouse, secretly regretting that she should not have come to receive the guests from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The items for auction later included three soul bones, a rare metal and an eighth-level long-range attack soul guide. This auction lived up to its reputation as a top auction, with the items sold reaching prices as high as nearly 10 million Gold Soul Coins. Huo Yuhao and his party were also feasting their eyes. Just as the atmosphere of the auction reached its climax, Xu Jiujiu's figure appeared on the soul guide screen again, and he smiled and said, "Dear guests, the next two items will be the highlight of today. I believe you will be interested. I can guarantee that there is no other item like it in the entire continent. For example, our next eighth item is a unique soul bone. Everyone, please look at the big screen." With a flash of light and shadow, a soul bone that was magnified countless times appeared on the soul guide display screen. This soul bone is emerald green all over, and a emerald green halo flows and fluctuates on it, as if it contains emerald green liquid. This is a left arm soul bone, emitting a faint white mist. On its surface, there are small crystals, like crystal clear gems. Compared with it, the three soul bones that appeared before are suddenly eclipsed. Huo Yuhao’s mind moved, and the moment this soul bone appeared, he felt a very familiar aura from it. "This, this is." "asshole!" Tian Meng’s voice of surprise and Bing Di’s fury sounded simultaneously in Huo Yuhao’s sea of ​​consciousness. In the sea of ​​spirit, the Ice Emperor was furious and said, "Assholes, assholes, these damn humans have finally reached out to our Far North." Huo Yuhao asked, “Ice Emperor, I feel a sense of familiarity with this soul bone. Is this the soul bone left by your people?” The Ice Emperor said angrily, "Yes, this is the soul bone left by our Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Judging from its age, it should be 70,000 years old. Damn humans, how dare you kill my people." "Yuhao, if possible, try to take this soul bone. I don't want the soul bones of my people to fall into the hands of other humans. Also, I can feel that this soul bone contains a very special soul skill of our Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Ice Explosion Technique." "Fusing this soul bone with the soul skills I brought you will be of great benefit to you!" At this moment, Xu Jiujiu on the stage continued to introduce the preciousness of this soul bone. She was very excited, which aroused the interest of those who were watching the auction. Xu Jiujiu talked endlessly about the many advantages and characteristics of this soul bone, and mentioned one sentence at the end. "Please note that the attribute of this soul bone is ice, so the soul master who fuses it must also be of ice attribute. If a soul master who is not suitable for it chooses to force a fusion, it will endanger his own life. Please be cautious, dear guests."

"But on the other hand, it is not without benefits. The Ice Jade Scorpion is a very special soul beast. It lives in the Far North and has a very strong ice attribute. So if a soul master with ice attribute who meets the requirements fuses it, there is a certain probability that his own ice attribute can be improved." Bingdi listened to the introduction for a long time in the sea of ​​​​spirituality. At this time, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Haha, ignorant, what she said is completely wrong." "After fusing this soul bone, the soul master cannot improve his own ice attribute. If you want to absorb this soul bone, you must have the ultimate ice to do it. This is the pride of our Ice Jade Scorpion clan. If others dare to fuse it casually, they are courting death!" Huo Yuhao was a little conflicted at this moment. The problem now was how to convince Meng Hongchen to give up this soul bone. You know, Meng Hongchen also has the ice attribute, and is very eager to improve his own ice attribute to solve the defects of his martial soul. He turned to look at Meng Hongchen, but found that her mind was completely captured by this extremely precious soul bone, and her attention was all on this soul bone. This is a bit difficult. "Fang Yuan, isn't this soul bone tailor-made for you? I have decided to buy it and give it to you." "what?" Huo Yuhao was stunned and turned to look at the girl beside him in disbelief.
