Chapter 108 Snow Empress Embryo
As Xu Jiujiu gently gestured with his right hand, the screen suddenly changed. A white tray appeared on the screen, upon which rested a wooden stand inlaid with at least a hundred gemstones of various colors. On this small wooden stand, a wisp of air rippled slightly in the void.
This mass of air appeared as an incredibly pure white, a soft white that didn't convey any sense of its power, and from the screen, it was just a mass of air.
However, this wisp of air remained condensed and did not dissipate, subtly shifting left and right as if trying to break free of its restraints. Meanwhile, the wooden support beneath it continuously emitted a layer of pale golden light that enveloped it during its struggles, preventing it from breaking through.
The voice, which had been utterly enticing, now carried a solemn and serious tone: "—The current of energy that you, esteemed guests, are from a 100,000-year-old soul beast that, after reaching its bottleneck, chose to reincarnate as a human. During this transformation, it was captured by a powerful being and imprisoned within the ninth-level soul tool, the Conferred God Platform. In a sense, this current of energy can be considered the embryonic stage of the soul beast's reincarnation as a human."
A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!
Upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, the entire room fell silent; apart from Kong Tianxu and Kong Deming, everyone's eyes revealed a look of horror.
Kong Tianxu and Kong Deming exchanged a glance and made their decision.
One hundred million gold soul coins is not an unacceptable price for a 100,000-year-old soul beast, especially for the wealthy Sun Moon Empire, where 100,000-year-old soul beasts are almost impossible to find.
Kong Deming was more focused on the Conferred God Platform, while Kong Tianxu's eyes never left the mass of energy.
How could the complete origin of the Snow Emperor, which is 690,000 years old, be compared to the value of a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?
Needless to say, in his hands, sixty-nine or even seven hundred thousand years would not be the limit for this embryo.
After a long silence, her expression finally returned to its lively state, and her words regained their gentle tone that inspired genuine trust. However, every word she spoke next struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer: "But there's something even more astonishing coming. According to the research of the powerful figure from the Sun Moon Empire who provided us with this embryo, a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in this state will inevitably provide a 100,000-year-old soul ring and a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Furthermore, when it's solidified in this state, its memories are also sealed, making them potentially absorbable."
"Of course, the absorption process requires the assistance of the power of this supreme level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform. The chance of direct absorption is not high, but if successful, it is very likely to grant the absorber a martial soul, allowing them to incorporate all the power of the soul beast's original body into their body."
silence.
Not only in Kong Tianxu's room, but all those who participated in the auction tonight fell into a deathly silence, with only the increasingly heavy breathing rising and falling.
Twin martial souls can be created later in life!
Even Kong Deming, while overjoyed, revealed disbelief in his eyes. As the father of the ninth-level soul master, he knew very well that the Conferred God Platform possessed such a function to a certain extent.
In other words, the feasibility of a long time is extremely high.
Even the most precious 100,000-year-old spirit rings and spirit bones cannot compare to a martial soul that can be equipped with nine spirit rings. This 100,000-year-old spirit beast embryo is truly priceless!
The lengthy introduction continued, specifically highlighting that the auction allowed for collateralized loans, and providing thirty minutes for viewing. The Fengshen Platform in the image was also quickly magnified.
It can be clearly seen that the sealed-off mass of air contains a faint human-shaped outline, just like a human baby, touching the heartstrings of everyone.
Xiao Hongchen's desire was almost undisguised, but when he glanced at Kong Tianxu's figure in front of him, the fire of desire in his heart was instantly extinguished.
In terms of talent, he was inferior to his opponent; in terms of power, he was even less so. He had no right to compete with this embryo.
He slumped heavily back in his chair, dejected, and once again let out a heartfelt wail of defeat:
Why bring laughter when laughter is already here?
On the other side, after Princess Jiu Jiu disappeared from the screen, she went straight to the innermost room, number one. Without knocking, she simply pressed her right hand on the door, and the door immediately slid open to the side. She quickly walked in.
"Brother, there's movement."
Inside the room, there wasn't a single maid in sight; only Xu Jiawei, dressed in a black robe, sat alone.
"Go ahead and speak," he said, gesturing to Xu Jiujiu as he flipped through a stack of documents in his hand.
Xu Jiujiu said, "The sects with the strength to compete have reacted quite strongly. Two of them have shown clear intentions and sold us quite a few good items. Conservatively speaking, we will directly profit more than 50 million gold soul coins through this auction. Once we find a new agent in the Sun Moon Empire, this money can buy a lot of good things."
"but----"
As she spoke, she gestured to the white earpiece in her right ear, her tone becoming puzzled: "The target doesn't seem to have taken the bait. Even after we offered to reduce the handling fee for all Mingdetang products to ten percent, they still showed no intention of selling us soul tools."
"Could I have been wrong? How could a genius like him resist the temptation of a second martial soul?"
Xu Jiawei's eyes were also filled with astonishment. Then, he and Xu Jiujiu seemed to have thought of something at the same time, looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "The wealth of the Sun Moon Empire is indeed terrifying. They carry hundreds of millions of funds with them. In my own treasury, there are probably only tens of millions left now. Most of them were used for this year's research lab funding, and even the embryos that the ancestor personally found had to be sold."
Princess Jiujiu comforted him, "Brother, this can't be blamed on you. You've already tried your best. It's just that closing the gap in soul tools between us and the Sun Moon Empire is too costly. The national treasury is already overburdened, so this is a last resort."
Moreover, this also reveals that Kong Tianxu's background is likely no less powerful than that of the Mingde Hall Master.
Xu Jiawei's expression softened slightly. He placed the documents back on the table and said, "If our plan goes smoothly, you will start the timer after the auction ends. Three months later, issue a bounty to the Adventurers' Guild for the Mingde Hall treasure hunt. The reward is 100 million gold soul coins. No matter how talented Kong Tianxu is, he is unlikely to attempt fusion within at least five years, and he is unlikely to possess the ability to influence the situation on the continent within ten years."
Ten years is enough time for many things to change, and the Sun Moon Empire, with its continuous technological breakthroughs, probably won't wait that long.
"Yes." A sly glint appeared in Princess Jiujiu's eyes as she said, "I hope they can slowly go and find that level nine soul master after they go back, hehe."
Xu Jiawei didn't reply, muttering to himself, "Shrek, Shrek, I want to undermine your reputation, but I also need to rely on you for strength. The signal of goodwill has been sent; I wonder if you've realized it—"
Thirty minutes passed quickly, and the starting bid for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo reached a staggering 100 million gold soul coins. Princess Jiujiu declared that this starting price set a record for the Starlight Auction House.
However, its auction process was far less dramatic than everyone had imagined—
One hundred and fifty million. After the price fluctuated slightly twice, Kong Tianxu typed out this number directly.
Then it freezes here.
Behind him, Cain's expression remained calm, Xu Tianzhen's cherry-like mouth was agape in shock, and the others looked numb and indifferent.
Clearly, in their eyes, no one else but Kong Tianxu should possess this treasure.
Kong Deming, on the other hand, seemed to have mixed feelings. It wasn't that he was worried about the small amount of money, but he had to consider the possibility of failure in this integration.
Kong Tianxu pointed to his brow.
Kong Deming immediately smiled knowingly.
Oh, it's alright then.
150 million —
The woman in the black dress could feel her body trembling, but maintaining her high level of professionalism, she suppressed her excitement at her newfound wealth and reminded him, "Esteemed guest, if you pledge your assets now, our auction house might be able to negotiate a low handling fee of 10% for you; otherwise, it will have to go with the standard 20%."
"Need not."
Kong Tianxu smiled calmly, his storage ring flashed with black light, and a golden hue appeared on his fingertip.
"I only swipe my card."
