Douluo: What if I was reborn as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 63 Auction House (Part )
Private room, or VIP room.

On the second floor of the auction house, you can clearly see the auction table from the windows.

I learned from Zhou Xun, the general manager of the auction house, that the VIP room on the second floor of the auction house is usually used by wealthy nobles or people of status, including powerful soul masters.

Hanhai City is close to Poseidon Island, and the soul masters of Poseidon Island will occasionally come out to purchase supplies.

So, VIP rooms are usually prepared for them, but not necessarily.

For example, occasionally high-level soul masters from the land would come here to sightsee, and auction and buy items.

"Soul masters from Seagod Island often come to Hanhai City?" Ning Rongrong remembered that the rules of Seagod Island were very strict, and it seemed that one could not leave the island at will.

"Once every one or two years." Zhou Xun shook her head.

“The last time they came, it seemed like two months ago, they usually came to buy some daily necessities or occasionally visit the auction house.”

"So that's how it is," Ning Rongrong thought thoughtfully. Soul masters are also human beings. They also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. It is impossible for them to be completely isolated from the world. Isolation is only relative.

From this perspective, Hanhai City is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire, but in reality it is an extension of Poseidon Island.

"I heard that there are a lot of pirates in this sea area. Doesn't the Sea God Island care?" Ning Rongrong thought of the things in the original book and asked subconsciously.

Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he looked at the three people in front of him and said with a wry smile: "Many of those pirates are descendants of the residents of Poseidon Island."

"It is said that Sea God Island has an extremely strict rule. If you are unable to practice at the age of 18, you will be expelled from Sea God Island regardless of life or death."

"There are also many residents from Poseidon Island in Hanhai City, right?" Ning Rongrong wanted to learn more about Hanhai City.

"Yes." Zhou Xun also realized that among the three people, the very delicate-looking girl was the one who really had the final say. After a little thought, he explained,

"Some of the residents who were expelled from Poseidon Island will come to live in Hanhai City, while others will become pirates."

Zhou Xun paused for a moment and continued:
"The most famous pirate group is called Purple Pearl, and the leader's name is Purple Pearl."

"It is said that her father was thrown out of the Sea God Island because he had no soul power, and then became a pirate."

"However, by the time of Purple Pearl's generation, her soul power was very strong. She was close to becoming a Soul Emperor at a young age, and she also made a name for herself in the sea."

"In fact, she could enter Poseidon Island to participate in the assessment, but she didn't. She seemed to be somewhat resistant to Poseidon Island."

"So young?" Duguyan blinked, quite curious, "How old is that girl named Zi Zhenzhu?"

"Around 27 years old. According to the information revealed by her subordinates, her soul power seems to be level 57 or 58."

"Indeed...it's really amazing." Dugu Yan smacked his lips.

I am only 19 years old now and only level 48. I am confident that I can reach Soul Emperor by the age of 27.

But what are your conditions?
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect feeds you with food, dazzles you with various medicinal baths, and blesses you with magical herbs.

What about Purple Pearl? Judging from what Zhou Xun said, she is a pirate.

This is a bit outrageous.

"Interesting." Ning Rongrong thought, but quickly put the thought aside and looked at the auction house manager who was still talking nonstop.

"Mr. Zhou Xun, do you have any whale glue that's been there for ten thousand years?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Very rarely, almost never."

"Whale glue is beneficial to soul masters and can increase their strength, especially whale glue that is more than a thousand years old. It is basically impossible to sell it. As for whale glue that is ten thousand years old..."

"To be honest, even a Soul Emperor wouldn't dare to say that he can easily obtain whale glue from a ten-thousand-year-old whale soul beast."

Zhou Xun told Ning Rongrong and others that the power that sea soul beasts can exert in the water is much more terrifying than that of sea soul masters.

Even for an ordinary ten thousand year old sea soul beast, the Soul Emperor may not be its match.

In addition, most sea soul beasts appear in groups, so even if you accidentally kill a ten thousand year old sea soul beast, you must leave the sea as soon as possible.

Blood would attract hunting from other soul beasts, or anger from the sea soul beasts of the same clan.

Therefore, it is very difficult to kill soul beasts in the sea, let alone obtain ten thousand year old whale glue.

"I see." Ning Rongrong stopped discussing this topic. "Do you have a sea chart? Mainly the sea soul beast area, preferably the ten thousand year soul beast."

"That's right." Zhou Xun said quickly. From what they said, he could roughly judge that they were here to look for whale glue. He didn't know what they were doing there, and it was none of his business. He was just the manager of a small auction house.

"How much."

"One thousand gold soul coins." Zhou Xun said tentatively.

"Okay." Ning Rongrong directly threw a bag of gold soul coins to Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun also knew that the people in front of him were rich, so he thought for a moment and continued,

"There will be an auction of a soul guide left over from ancient times here. If you are interested, you can take a look."

"Ancient soul guide?"

"Yes..." Just as Zhou Xun was about to explain in detail, the doorbell rang, "Manager, the auction is about to start. I want you to go over now."

"Oh, okay." Zhou Xun nodded.

"Sorry, everyone. I have to go and appraise the auction items. I won't bother you any more." Zhou Xun said as she pushed the door open and walked away in a hurry.

"I'll have someone send the nautical chart over later."

The door of the VIP room was closed again.

"Humph, you clever fellow."

"What's wrong, Grandpa?"

"The auction house manager, he timed it perfectly to mention some ancient soul guide, probably just to get more money, maybe he thinks we are rich dogs." Dugu Bo said with a smile.

Dugu Yan: "..."

Outrageous, this is outrageous.

However, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does have the potential to become a wealthy family.

Ning Rongrong looked out the window. There were a lot of people below, but the auction table was empty. The auction had not started yet.

Not long after, a young man who looked like an auctioneer walked onto the stage, and the first thing he pushed up was the elixir that Dugu Bo had given to the auction manager earlier.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!"

"Today is the weekly auction..." the auctioneer said these meaningless words.

He started by introducing the elixir that Dugu Bo gave them.

There are 29 pills in each bottle, three bottles in total, sold in bundles.

With Dugu Bo's consent, they each tried one pill to determine the effect of the pill.

After the auctioneer finished explaining the effects of the elixir, the soul masters below became excited.

Although the medicine is not very strong, it can save lives if you can’t hold on!

Taking one before dying can keep you alive. Besides restoring blood, it also contains antidotes and pills to restore soul power. It is absolutely necessary when going out to sea.

Although the effect is limited to those below level 40, and the effect drops rapidly above level , it is still quite useful as a walking auxiliary soul master.

In the end, the elixir was bought for 5000 gold soul coins, but of course many people were more curious about how it was made.

Ning Rongrong didn't care too much about these. Dugu Yan did bid for a few items. In her words, she had no shortage of money.

"Ding-dong-"

The ringing of the doorbell attracted the attention of Ning Rongrong and others.

"Senior, the supervisor asked me to bring the nautical chart over."

Ning Rongrong saw this and opened the door to take the sea chart. Dugu Yan also came over and looked at the sea chart.

"Well, the black dots are the areas of ten thousand year soul beasts, and the red dots are the areas of one hundred thousand year soul beasts?" Dugu Yan muttered to himself as he looked at the introduction of the corners of the regions.

"It may not refer to a single soul beast. It may refer to a group of soul beasts of roughly the same age in this range."

"So, we have to be careful when going there." Ning Rongrong saw that there were dozens of black spots indicating ten thousand year old soul beasts. This was still the surveyable range, and there might be even more in those seldom visited areas.

Just then the auctioneer's voice came through the radio.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention. It's time to witness another miracle."

"Our auction house will be auctioning a soul guide handed down from ancient times."

Ning Rongrong and others couldn't help but walk to the window and look at the center of the auction table.

He became interested in the legendary ancient soul guide that was slowly being rolled out and highly praised by the auctioneer.
