Chapter 142 Auctioning Pills! The Spirit Hall is back again?
As night deepened, the sky grew completely dark.
A huge full moon hung high in the sky, its cool moonlight spilling onto the earth.
Tang Chuan and Dugu Bo arrived in front of a huge building, a semi-circular high-rise with a diameter of at least 500 meters and a height of 80 meters at its highest point.
The words "Tian Dou Auction House" were prominently displayed above!
Four tall girls stood in front of the door.
Seeing Dugu Bo and Tang Chuan walk straight over, one of the girls stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Gentlemen, are you here to attend tonight's auction?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan nodded slightly.
"Do you have bidding qualification certificates?" the girl continued to ask.
Tang Chuan was stunned and turned to look at Dugu Bo beside him.
Seeing Tang Chuan suddenly looking at him, Dugu Bo frowned slightly, then took out a green card from his pocket and handed it to the girl.
The girl respectfully accepted the card, examined it carefully, and then gestured to the two of them, indicating that they could enter the auction house.
Led by the girl, Tang Chuan successfully entered the auction house.
Along the way, his eyes were drawn to all sorts of display cases, including sharp weapons, sturdy armor, storage soul tools with various functions, as well as all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and rare treasures... The dazzling array of items was overwhelming.
Finally, led by the girl, they arrived at a room.
The young woman produced two exquisite masks from somewhere and handed them to Tang Chuan and Dugu Bo, saying respectfully, "Gentlemen, in order to protect the privacy of every distinguished guest, the auction house has specially prepared masks for you that can conceal your aura."
"Please make sure you wear them properly so I can take you to the auction house."
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Chuan took the mask and put it on, then asked, "If I want to auction some things here, how do I do that?"
"May I ask, esteemed guest, what items do you intend to auction?" The young woman paused slightly, looking at him with some surprise, and asked respectfully.
Tang Chuan said calmly, "A kind of pill that can enhance the strength of a Soul Master."
Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed in the girl's eyes, and she quickly said, "Then please come with me, I will take you to the treasure appraisal room."
Led by the girl, Tang Chuan and Dugu Bo entered a spacious room.
A row of long tables was arranged in the center of the room, behind which sat more than a dozen appraisers of different ages, all busy with their work.
The girl led the two to one of the middle-aged appraisers who wore black glasses.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the middle-aged appraiser yawned and lazily said, "What do you have to be appraised and auctioned? Bring it up. Hurry up, there are people waiting in line."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan took out two jade bottles from his bosom and placed them steadily on the table.
"What is this? Are you selling bottles? Judging from its appearance, this bottle is just so-so. Could it be a soul tool?" The middle-aged appraiser leaned closer to examine the jade bottle on the table and frowned slightly.
Tang Chuan waved his hand lightly, a smug smile curving his lips. He said with a smile, "I'm not here to sell any soul tools, but to sell pills."
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged appraiser, who had initially seemed somewhat perfunctory, perked up. He leaned forward, his eyes showing interest, and began to speak:
"Pills? What are the uses of these pills? Could they be the kind that have some healing effects? If so, they could sell for some money."
"No! My pills aren't for healing, but are specially made to enhance the strength of Soul Masters," Tang Chuan explained, shaking his head.
At this point, he pointed to the jade bottle on his left, "This is called the Soul Enhancement Pill. Any Soul Master below level 40 who takes it will directly increase their Soul Power by two levels."
Then, he pointed to the jade bottle on the right and continued:
"This is called the Soul Restoration Pill. If a Soul Master below level 50 takes it when their Soul Power is depleted, it can quickly restore a large amount of Soul Power, allowing them to regain their combat ability."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent. Even the nonchalant appraisers nearby looked up and cast curious glances in their direction.
After hearing Tang Chuan's words, the middle-aged appraiser wearing black glasses instantly lost his lazy expression. He was jolted, his eyes fixed on the two jade bottles on the table, his face changed drastically, and he almost jumped up from his seat.
"What...what did you say?"
"This pill can directly increase a Soul Master's Soul Power level, or restore Soul Power?!"
In the Douluo Continent today, there is almost no concept of refining elixirs.
It wasn't until ten thousand years later that a few pills appeared, and most of them were crudely made. The more famous ones at that time were only the Profound Water Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill. The former could nourish the body and cleanse the meridians, while the latter could increase a Soul Master's Soul Power slightly in a short period of time.
But right now, this is still the Douluo Continent of ten thousand years ago.
In the world's understanding, elixirs are almost exclusively used for healing injuries. Being able to treat skin wounds or delay the deterioration of injuries is already considered a rare and precious item.
The pills that Tang Chuan is now taking out are said to be able to directly enhance a Soul Master's strength and even rapidly restore Soul Power! This effect has completely overturned everyone's understanding.
"That's right, my pills can indeed increase soul power level."
The appraiser's breath hitched; his face still bore deep shock and disbelief. After a moment's hesitation, his voice trembled slightly as he said:
"But this...this is only your side of the story, it's just hearsay, how can you prove it?"
Tang Chuan's gaze darkened, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he said casually, "If you don't believe me, you can naturally find someone to test it. Isn't your auction house known for its rigor and credibility? It's most appropriate to let you verify this kind of thing."
Upon hearing this, the appraiser's Adam's apple bobbed, and he carefully picked up the two jade vases on the table, saying:
"In that case, please wait a moment, distinguished guests."
"Okay, please hurry up." Tang Chuan waved his hand and sat down on the chair next to him without any ceremony, then closed his eyes to rest.
The middle-aged man nodded quickly and then hurriedly left the room.
Half an hour later, the middle-aged appraiser practically ran back.
At this moment, his face was slightly flushed with urgency, but his previous arrogance and disdain were gone, replaced by respect and excitement.
"My lord! Our auction house has completed the appraisal. Your pills are indeed as you said, capable of directly increasing the soul power level of a soul master below level 40! And the other pill can quickly restore soul power when it is depleted! These pills are simply heaven-defying treasures!" He changed his form of address when he walked up to Tang Chuan, his voice trembling slightly but extremely solemn.
"In that case, shall we proceed with the auction immediately?"
The authentication methods used at auction houses are also very simple.
Find a Soul Master below level 40, give them the pill, and then test their Soul Power level.
Tang Chuan nodded slightly and said, "Alright, then take me to the auction room. I'd like to see what good stuff you have to offer for sale."
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged appraiser immediately bowed.
He then bowed and gestured for them to enter, personally leading Tang Chuan and Dugu Bo through the corridor toward the auction room.
Meanwhile, in the shadows on the other side of the auction house.
A tall and imposing figure quietly emerged, wearing a gray robe with a hood hanging low, almost completely obscuring his face.
I have no idea when or where he sneaked into the auction house.
As Tang Chuan and Dugu Bo disappeared at the end of the corridor, his gaze sharpened slightly, and he too vanished from the spot.
…………
Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.
The towering palace was brightly lit, yet the atmosphere was as oppressive as an abyss.
Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, her eyes cold and sharp, a subtle pressure emanating from her. Her face was grim as she roared at the cardinal below:
"What a bunch of useless trash! So much time has passed, and they still can't find a single Tang San. I refuse to believe he could just vanish from the Douluo Continent into thin air!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
All the Spirit Hall members standing in attendance lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.
At this moment, a cardinal stepped forward, trembling. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his voice trembled, but he forced himself to speak: "Your Holiness... it's not entirely without gains. Although... although we still haven't found Tang San's exact whereabouts, but..."
He swallowed hard, glanced cautiously at Bibi Dong, then quickly lowered his head and continued:
"But recently, news came from Heaven Dou City that Blue Tyrant Academy in the city has secretly changed its name to Shrek Academy. And that is the name of the academy that Tang San attended."
