Chapter 105 dealt Shrek a heavy blow! Xianlin'er broke down!
Furthermore, there is another important point...
Liu Yuan knew that Shrek Academy would also have a high probability of attending the top auction tonight.
If he remembers correctly, the Shrek team from the original story also participated in the auction and even made some purchases.
They naturally had designs on Xue Di.
However, in the original story, the Snow Empress was ultimately taken away by the Sun Moon Empire.
But if they don't go today, the outcome will be completely different.
With Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er's boldness, even if the Snow Empress's embryo is priced very high, Shrek Academy will definitely be able to acquire it without Liu Yuan's obstruction...
This is not what Liu Yuan wanted to see.
After all, for him, it wasn't really necessary to go to great lengths to recruit the Snow Empress. To him, it was just a bonus; having it would be great, but not having it wouldn't matter.
But the Snow Empress must never be obtained by Shrek Academy; that's something he cannot accept.
So a big reason he went to the auction was because he didn't want Shrek to get Snow Empress.
...
Following Ling Luochen's message, Bingdi quickly arrived before Liu Yuan. She glanced at Liu Yuan with some confusion, then asked him a question.
"Master, you were looking for me?"
Liu Yuan nodded: "Come out with me."
Hyotei nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more: "Okay."
Afterwards, they followed Liu Yuan and his group directly to the venue of the Starlight Auction that would be held that night.
Not long after they arrived at the scene, they indeed found Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er leading a group of Shrek Academy students.
They exchanged glances. Liu Yuan was all smiles, but the Shrek team members looked grim.
Especially Ma Xiaotao and the others, who had learned their lesson last time, cursed angrily, "That bastard Liu Yuan is at it again..."
"He snatched everything up at the last auction!"
Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er were unaware of this matter and asked Ma Xiaotao with considerable surprise, "Last auction? When was that?"
Ma Xiaotao then recounted the entire incident that had occurred last time.
This left Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er both utterly astonished.
Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but twitch his lips: "This Teacher Liu Yuan has such a twisted sense of humor."
Xian Lin'er said indignantly, "Hmph! This time, we can't let him be so arrogant."
"When it comes to financial resources, do you think Shrek Academy would be afraid of him?"
"Don't worry, kids! Grab whatever you like this time!"
Yan Shaozhe really wanted to say that Shrek Academy might not be as rich as the other side, since the other side specialized in high-end soul tools.
But seeing Xian Lin'er's fiery temper, he didn't dare say anything more, lest he end up arguing with her again.
They quickly took their seats.
Not long after, the Starlight Auction finally began.
As the auction began, auctioneer Qingya quickly started introducing the first item up for auction.
The first item up for auction today is an eighth-level close-range soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, originally from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire.
This soul tool is quite good; its material is extremely precious, being forged from a soul bone produced by a ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Tiger soul beast. Therefore, while possessing great power, this soul tool can also help the user amplify their soul power by fifty percent.
Such powerful effects led to Qingya quickly gaining the favor of many soul masters after giving a brief introduction to this soul tool.
Therefore, Soul Masters quickly began bidding for this Soul Guidance Device.
"Six hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
"Six hundred and one thousand gold soul coins!"
"Six hundred and twenty thousand gold soul coins!"
"Six hundred and thirty thousand gold soul coins!"
"....."
Bidding continued.
In the blink of an eye, the price was quickly raised to 700,000 gold soul coins.
At this time, Xianlin'er also took a liking to this soul tool.
The reason she took a liking to this soul tool was because it was made by Mingdetang.
Xian Lin'er planned to buy it and study it carefully to see how the craftsmanship of the soul tool made by Mingde Hall differed from that of their Shrek Academy, even though both were level eight soul tools.
Therefore, she immediately began bidding: "Eight hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
A sound rang out, and the entire hall fell silent.
After all, the starting price for this item in the auction was 600,000.
The price has now been raised to 800,000, which is already quite expensive.
But at that moment, Liu Yuan directly raised the sign.
"Nine hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
Xian Lin'er was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized that the person who had snatched it was Liu Yuan, and her temper immediately flared up.
"One million gold soul coins!"
Liu Yuan smiled: "One million two hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
Xian Lin'er gritted her teeth in anger: "One million five hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
She was completely intoxicated at that moment.
Fortunately, Yan Shaozhe was there, so the moment she finished speaking, he immediately replied, "Lin'er, we can't be impulsive anymore. This thing isn't worth the price."
"If Liu Yuan makes another offer later, don't raise the price again."
"Anyway, this thing originally came from Mingde Hall. It's somewhat useful to us, but completely useless to him. He's basically giving money away to the Star Luo Empire for free."
Xianlin'er only realized she had been a little carried away after hearing this.
But she refused to admit it, and could only snort and say, "Do I need you to remind me? That's exactly what I was thinking!"
Yan Shaozhe smiled helplessly and didn't say anything more.
He continued to look towards Liu Yuan on one side, hoping to see him bid again.
But at this moment, the mocking look on Liu Yuan's face became even more intense.
How could he not know that this thing was completely useless to them? The reason he bid earlier was just to deliberately trick Xian Lin'er!
So now that the price has been driven up so high, he definitely won't want it anymore.
He waved his hand, indicating that he was abstaining.
Seeing that no one was bidding higher, Qingya simply announced: "One million five hundred thousand gold soul coins once, one million five hundred thousand gold soul coins twice! One million five hundred thousand gold soul coins three times! This item will be acquired by bidder number forty-three!"
Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe were stunned when they heard this.
Only then did he realize that he had been completely tricked by Liu Yuan, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Yan Shaozhe: "What a miscalculation! I didn't expect him to do it on purpose. This Liu Yuan is really cunning."
Xianlin'er: "Damn it! I'm so angry!"
But the auction continued.
Soon after several relatively ordinary auction items were sold, another heavyweight auction item came out.
This is an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.
After Qingya's elegant introduction, it quickly aroused the interest of many people.
At this moment, Hyotei also spoke to Ryuuen.
"Master, can you help me retrieve this soul bone?"
"This is the soul bone of my Ice Jade Scorpion clan, and I don't want to see it taken by other humans."
