Chapter 390 Governor of Dongling Province

Soon, the lights in the auction hall suddenly focused on the door.

An old man in a white jacket, surrounded by many guards, entered the auction hall.

The old man's awe-inspiring temperament made many guests in the venue lower their heads at the same time, fearing to look directly into his eyes.

"With the strength of a level 83 Soul Douluo, this guy's status is really not low." Han Yu murmured softly.

According to the information given by Di Tian, ​​the number of Title Douluo powerhouses on this continent is only a handful, and the number of Soul Douluo powerhouses is also not large.

This person must be a powerful person who holds a high position in the Blue Moon Empire.

With the arrival of this old man, the auctioneer walked from behind the scenes to the auction table in the center of the venue.

"Welcome all guests to our Dehai City Auction House, today's auction"

The auctioneer's opening remarks were very brief. Soon, the etiquette lady walked onto the auction table with a tray. Covered with red cloth on the tray was the first item in this auction.

The auctioneer unveiled the red cloth and announced loudly: "Dear guests, the first lot of this auction is a hundred-year-old flower fairy grass from the Demon Forest. This thing can be ground into powder and mixed with clean water to be taken. It has the effect of anti-aging and beauty. Guests in need should not miss it."

"The starting price is ten gold coins, and each bid must not be less than one gold coin."

Strictly speaking, the flower fairy grass cannot be considered a soul beast, and its hundred-year age is just an exaggeration.

Han Yu was not interested in this.

After waiting for several lots in a row, he finally waited for the item he needed.

"The seventh lot is a manual for learning soul guides from level one to four. Soul guides are the existence that any soul master is eager to obtain. If you can get this one and study patiently, it is not a problem to become a fourth-level soul guide."

"The starting price is two thousand gold coins, and each bid must not be less than two hundred gold coins."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately started to bid.

"I'll pay 3,000 gold coins."

"3,200 gold coins."

"3,600 gold coins, don't compete with me."

The price soon reached the 5,000 gold coin mark.

You know, the soul guide learning manual will come with many soul guide production drawings, and those drawings alone can make many people jealous.

At present, there is no possibility of upgrading the soul guide department of Canaan College.

It is the limit for Lou Gao to continuously improve the design drawings of the third-level soul guide to make a fifth-level soul guide. If you want to make a sixth-level soul guide, you need a lot of time to polish it. This is a long process, and it may not be effective within ten years.

Although the soul guide learning manual in front of him is only up to the fourth level, it is enough to solve the urgent need for Lou Gao at this stage. You know, Lou Gao improved the fifth-level soul guide based on the third-level soul guide, and its design itself has defects. If he can study the mature fourth-level soul guide design drawings, it will be of great help to his research on the fifth-level soul guide.

The price of five thousand gold coins is equivalent to five hundred thousand gold soul coins in Douluo Continent, which is a considerable amount.

"Six thousand gold coins." Han Yu immediately said when he saw fewer and fewer people bidding.

"The VIP in the box has made a bid, and there will probably be more VIPs joining in the future. For those of us with weak financial resources, let's just forget it." People in the ordinary seats chose to give up bidding.

Those who can sit in the box are all wealthy people. Moreover, they all have extraordinary status, so it is not very wise to offend them.

"Seven thousand gold coins." The person in the box No. 16 next to him bid.

"Eight thousand gold coins." Han Yu took the lead.

The person in the box No. 16 hesitated for a moment and chose to give up bidding.

At the same time, the old man in the No. 1 box asked, "Who is in the No. 18 box? Wasn't it the box of a Chamber of Commerce boss named Qia?"

"Your Excellency the Governor, they are two merchants from other places. I have inquired about the auction house. They sold items worth more than 10,000 gold coins in one go, and three of the next five finale items were provided by them."

The person who spoke was Jas.

Han Yu's eyes were always fixed on the direction of the auction table, and he didn't notice Jas's situation.

"Oh? It seems that he is a powerful owner." The old man said with a smile.

Jas said respectfully, "Compared to the Governor, their strength is not enough. I wonder if the Governor has any instructions. I have had contact with them before, maybe..."

"Go away." The old man interrupted him, "I am very busy and have no time to deal with these cats and dogs. If he is really powerful, then I have to think about it carefully."

...

"Congratulations to the VIP in Box 18 for successfully bidding on the seventh lot at the price of 8,000 gold coins." As the auctioneer rang the auction, Han Yu got the Soul Guidance Equipment Production Manual as he wished.

"I still have 5,000 gold coins on me. I am afraid that the remaining lots can only be exchanged for goods." Han Yu sighed.

Taking out items worth 10,000 gold coins at once is already the limit. If you take out more, you may cause unnecessary troubles and even be targeted by people with ulterior motives.

If time is not tight, Han Yu can at least get tens of thousands more gold coins.

Fortunately, this auction house allows barter as an offer. Otherwise, he can only resort to the worst strategy.

The price of the three soul bones can only fall into his hands after the auction.

The transaction price of 8,000 gold coins successfully ignited the emotions of the guests. The next few items were mostly collectibles, and the transaction price did not exceed the 8,000 gold coins.

It was late at night. After the auction of dozens of items, the five items that came out last were held by five etiquette ladies and stood on the auction table.

The auctioneer walked up to one of the etiquette ladies and lifted the red cloth on the tray.

This is a document composed of several pages of paper, which looks no different.

The auctioneer said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Wow, this is the mining right document of an iron mine near Dehai City."

The mining documents of Sun Moon Continent have no time limit. From the moment you get the document, as long as the mine is not fully mined, it is not an exaggeration to treat the document as a family heirloom.

Moreover, if there are other veins connected to the mine underground, then this vein is also included in the scope of the mining document.

There are cases where you buy an iron mine and open a gold and silver mine.

The auctioneer continued: "After the auction house's survey, this iron mine has only mined a part of the surface, and there are at least 300 meters of iron ore layers underground. Dear guests, if you are interested in mining, you must not miss it."

"The starting price is 20,000 gold coins, and each bid must not be less than 2,000 gold coins."

As soon as the voice fell, many people were eager to try.

At first, it was only a small increase in price, until the VIP of the third private room was sold, the price suddenly reached 40,000 gold coins.

"There is a high possibility that there is a gold mine under the iron ore. This item is indeed the finale item." Han Yu analyzed.

There are several mines near Canaan City, and Han Yu has now bought the mining rights for all of them. As for the gold veins under the iron ore, Han Yu also saw it with his own eyes.

If the finale item was not auctioned in the form of a blind box, this mining document would most likely be put on the last stage.

In the end, the mining document was bought by the Lord of Dehai City at a price of 70,000 gold coins.

The auctioneer followed the same method and unveiled the red cloth on another tray.

"Soul bone!"

The soul power fluctuations emanating from the soul bone were immediately captured by everyone present.

"Soul bones have always been an item that soul masters urgently need. In order to respond to the requests of many guests, the Dehai City Auction House specially took out soul bones for auction."

"This is a nine-hundred-year-old wind demon dog's right leg bone. Although the soul bone is a little worn, after being identified by our treasure appraisers, the effect of the soul bone has not been affected. The importance of soul bones is self-evident, but the seller who provided this soul bone hopes to use it to get a soul guide learning manual and soul guide design drawings of the same value."

"Those who provide the above items will be given priority in bidding. The starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 500 gold coins."

Han Yu exclaimed "good guy" in his heart.

The purchase price given to him by the auction house is not even as high as the starting price of one of the auction items.

But this is also normal. Since it is a commissioned auction, the auction house naturally wants to charge more commissions. Moreover, soul guide manuals and production drawings have a high premium space. Raising the auction price seems to help Han Yu get better trading items.

"Six thousand gold coins."

"One thousand gold coins, plus thirty drawings for making first- and second-level soul guides."

Han Yu obviously underestimated the scarcity of soul bones on the Sun and Moon Continent.

In the Douluo Continent, the value of a hundred-year soul bone is at most tens of thousands of gold soul coins. But here, the starting price is equivalent to 500,000 gold soul coins.

Han Yu suddenly thought that the number of powerful soul masters on the Sun and Moon Continent is extremely rare. Moreover, at this stage of the Sun and Moon Continent, few soul masters dare to enter the Demon Forest.

Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the evil eye tyrant clan in the Demon Forest is almost distributed in every corner of the forest. In the Star Dou Great Forest, whether it is the fierce beast under the Lake of Life, or the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, they have no tribes behind them. And they rarely leave their habitats on their own initiative.

Therefore, in terms of the degree of danger, the Demon Forest is definitely a hell for human soul masters.

From the previous price of the hundred-year-old flower fairy grass, it can be seen.

In the No. 1 private room.

The old man showed an intriguing smile on his face, "I didn't expect that they were going for the soul guide."

"Governor, the first to fourth level soul guide learning manuals you sold earlier were also bought by them." Jas reminded respectfully.

The old man said: "In this case, it will save us a lot of trouble. Jas, after the auction, go and contact them."

Jas nodded respectfully, and then asked, "Governor, didn't you buy the iron mine at a high price through our Pujia Chamber of Commerce? Why are you selling it at a slightly lower price now? I am a little confused, please help me."

"How can you find out what the governor is thinking?" The middle-aged man next to the old man said with a bad face.

Jas apologized and quickly left the private room.

As for the situation of the iron mine, the old man naturally knew it very well.

Dehai City is a coastal city, and the iron ore vein extends to the seabed. If there is any carelessness during the mining process, the entire vein will be submerged. Since the risk is so great, why not sell it? Moreover, after selling the easy-to-mine iron ore at the top of the vein, plus the proceeds from the auction, he made a small profit.

...

In the end, the three soul bones provided by Han Yu were traded with ten blueprints for the production of fifth-level soul guides, six thousand gold coins, and the notes of the seventh-level soul guide.

"Dear guests, the last lot is a 10,000-year soul bone from the left arm of a deep-sea giant crab. There is no starting price, and the upper limit is 100,000 gold coins. The first guest to bid the highest price will directly obtain this lot. In addition, the auction house allows barter transactions."

Hearing this, everyone knew that this soul bone belonged to the auction house.

"10,000 gold coins."

"10,000 gold coins are enough to get a 10,000-year soul bone? I'll pay 30,000 gold coins"

Han Yu touched his chin and analyzed: "The arm bone of a crab soul beast."

The arms of crab soul beasts are pliers. The soul energy provided by the arm soul bone is most likely related to the pliers. As for whether it controls people with pliers or puts on a "practice more if you are not good at it" posture, only the person who absorbs this soul bone can know.

Han Yu naturally has no interest in bidding for an ordinary 10,000-year soul bone.

In the end, this soul bone was won by the person in Room 1 at a price of 100,000 gold coins.

The auction ended.

In Han Yu's private room, the staff of the auction house came in with his auction items and the proceeds of the auction.

After paying 8,000 gold soul coins, the manual of soul guides from level one to level four was successfully received.

"Sir, for the soul bones you entrusted the auction house to help auction, we will charge a handling fee of 5% of the total transaction price, a total of 1,000 gold coins."

The auction houses on the Douluo Continent generally only charge a handling fee of 3%. But in line with the concept of adapting to local customs, Han Yu did not care about such a high handling fee.

"Now, should we set off?" Di Tian couldn't help asking.

Han Yu did not rush to agree, "Wait for one or two days at most."

Just these soul guide learning manuals and drawings in hand are far from enough.

The notes of the seventh-level soul guide are certainly helpful to Lou Gao, but a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if he has the experience of his predecessors, it is still difficult for Lou Gao to carry out the research and development of high-level soul guides without a solid theoretical foundation.

In front of the auction house, Han Yu saw Jas again.

"This guy doesn't seem to have bid at the auction." Han Yu murmured.

"Brother Han, please stay." Jas called out quickly.

"Brother Jas, what's the matter?" Han Yu asked.

Jas's face showed a smile, and he said: "Brother Han, to be honest, I just had a good chat with a nobleman and inadvertently mentioned the matter of soul guides."

"Guess what, that nobleman is willing to make a deal with you. Of course, this premise is that you have enough chips."

As he said, Jas touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Look, I work hard for what you need, shouldn't you..."

Han Yu smiled faintly.

Jas's personality is quite different from his appearance.
