After receiving Ning Liu's affirmative reply, Tao Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief obviously on his face.
He is a practical person, and he immediately wanted to take something out of his storage soul guide, muttering:
"In that case, then I will..."
His movements were a bit eager, as if he wanted to settle the account on the spot to prove his credibility.
However, before the movement of his hand was completed, Ning Liu gently raised his hand.
A simple action, but it carries an unquestionable magnanimity.
"There's no need to rush, I'll advance the money first."
Ning Liu's voice was still flat, and no emotion could be heard.
"The auction is not over yet. When all the dust settles, the island owner will come to see me again. Liulitian, I can trust your credibility."
After the words fell, the whole place fell silent.
Especially the seats on the sea soul master's side, countless eyes were focused on Ning Liu, and the emotions contained in them were extremely complicated.
There is surprise and scrutiny, but more importantly, it is a kind of heartfelt admiration.
"Liu Litian... I can trust your credibility."
Tao Jingyun chewed this sentence over and over again, feeling that every word hit his heart.
This is not just a formal statement, but also a kind of respect, a kind of recognition from the top forces in the mainland to them, the sea soul masters!
He was a rugged man, but his eyes were slightly red at the moment. He solemnly clasped his fists in the direction of Ning Liu and said nothing more.
But the gratitude and respect are self-evident.
The surrounding sea spirit masters were also excited.
"This Sect Master Ning... is so courageous!"
"Yes, 1.6 million gold soul coins, I'll believe it if I say it. If it's me, I won't feel at ease if I don't see anything."
"This is the true style of a great sect!"
The way they looked at Ning Liu has completely changed.
If he was afraid of Liu Litian's strength before, now, he really has more respect.
Ning Liu turned a deaf ear to the comments around him. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, using the dense tea scent to cover up the smile that was almost uncontrollable at the corner of his mouth.
Because just now, the familiar voice sounded in his mind again.
【Ding! The auction of "Sixty Thousand Years Deep Blue Lingshan" was successful! 】
【Auction price: 1.6 million gold soul coins. 】
【Trigger a hundredfold return, congratulations to the host for obtaining one hundred plants of "Sixty Thousand Years Deep Blue Lingshan"! 】
【The item has been stored in the system space, please check it carefully. 】
Ning Liu almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and swallowed it back. He only choked and coughed twice.
One hundred plants!
Dark blue Lingshan of 60,000-year-old age!
His consciousness sank into the system space, looking at the corner shrouded in dark blue light, where a hundred coral-shaped elixirs lay quietly.
Him exuding a majestic aura of water element, almost turning his system space into a vast ocean.
One plant can make these Sea Soul Master island owners so furious that they even hesitate to sell iron.
If there were a hundred plants...
A funny picture appeared in Ning Liu's mind for no reason:
He walked to the auction platform, poured out a hundred dark blue lingshan plants like taking out garbage, and then said to the stunned sea spirit masters in the audience.
"Stop grabbing, everyone has a share, buy one get one free today."
Him He estimated that the worldview of these men who call the sea their home will collapse on the spot.
The treasures of the sea that they are so proud of are like cabbage in the field.
This feeling is really...indescribably comfortable.
Ning Liu took a deep breath and forced down the raised corners of his mouth again, maintaining his calm and elegant image.
Just know the happiness in your heart.
At this time, Ning Rongrong on the stage saw that the time was almost up and spoke again. Her voice was clear and sweet, attracting everyone's attention.
"Thank you for your active bidding, and congratulations to the owner of Koh Tao for winning the treasure you like."
She first smiled and nodded to Tao Jingyun, then changed the subject and her expression became a little more serious.
"Everyone, there is only the last item left in this auction provided by Poseidon Island."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the whole place was mobilized again.
The finale is often the best.
The previous auction items, whether they are the Cleansing Spiritual Spring or the Deep Blue Lingshan, are already rare treasures in the world. How shocking is this last item?
Everyone held their breath and stared at the auction table with burning eyes.
Ning Rongrong did not show off, she nodded lightly towards the backstage.
This time, the maid who came up looked particularly solemn. She was not holding items on a jade tray, but carefully holding a jade box made of thousand-year-old jade in her hands.
The jade box is filled with cold air, obviously to preserve the items inside.
The maid gently placed the jade box on the auction table, bowed and stepped away.
Ning Rongrong stretched out her slender jade hand, and slowly opened the buckle of the jade box under the expectant eyes of everyone.
"Click."
With a soft sound, the jade box opened.
There is no precious light soaring into the sky as imagined, and no strong energy fluctuations.
Everyone stretched their necks to see clearly what was in the jade box.
It was a shell about the size of a palm.
Yes, it’s a shell.
It has a warm moon-white color throughout, with circles of naturally formed, water-wave-like lines on its surface that spread outward from the center. Other than that, there is nothing special about it.
Looks like the beautiful shells that can be seen everywhere on the seaside, except they are a little bigger and made of better material.
"This is..."
"Is it wrong? What are you doing with a shell?"
"Could there be a peerless orb hidden in this shell?"
Not to mention that the mainland soul masters were confused, even the sea soul masters themselves looked at each other in confusion, unable to recognize the origin of this thing.
Ning Rongrong looked at the confused expressions of everyone, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This thing is called 'Tingchao Shell'."
She gently took the shell out of the jade box and held it in the palm of her hand.
"It is not a elixir, nor an ore, nor a soul bone. It itself does not contain any energy that can be directly absorbed by the soul master."
These words made everyone even more confused.
A lot with no energy? Or the finale? Is this a joke?
Ning Rongrong paused and continued: "However, it possesses an ability that is dreamed of by any soul master, but it is also unimaginable."
Her voice had a melodious guidance, as if she was telling an ancient legend.
"Hold this shell, sink your spiritual thoughts into it, and you can...listen to the sound of the sea within a hundred miles."
"The sound of the sea?"
Some people couldn't help but asked, "What does this mean? Are you listening to the sound of the waves? We hear it every day!"
h There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the venue.
"You can know where the fish are most densely packed, and whether there are rare soul beasts hidden among them;"
"You can even sense in advance when a storm that can overturn the island will form and where it will come from!"
"It is like the eyes and ears given by the sea, allowing you to truly integrate with the blue that has nurtured you!"
"And according to legend, if you can achieve perfect resonance with this shell, you can even hear a trace of... the whisper from the sea god."
Ning Rongrong's last words, like thunder on the ground, exploded in the entire venue, especially in the minds of all sea soul masters!
The entire auction house was deathly silent.
All sea soul masters, whether they were ordinary ones or powerful ones who were island owners, all stood up suddenly at this moment!
Their eyes were fixed on the ordinary moon-white shell in Ning Rongrong’s hand, their eyes full of shock, enthusiasm, and disbelief!
