Princess Xu Jiujiu was extremely vigilant at this moment, not knowing who this strange man was.
In her memory, she had never seen this person in the imperial palace at all.
Qian Daoliu’s tone was indifferent: “There is no need to be so vigilant.
This old man is merely here to borrow some ancient texts.”
Upon hearing this, Princess Xu Jiujiu’s eyes lit up.
She remembered something.
She hurriedly performed a very standard aristocratic salute.
“So it is Your Excellency Angel.”
“My apologies, my apologies.
I almost offended you just now.”
Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow slightly.
“You know this old man?”
Princess Xu Jiujiu nodded.
“Yes, my brother specifically instructed me about you.”
“By the way, my brother is the Star Luo Emperor, and I am Princess Xu Jiujiu.”
Qian Daoliu understood in his heart.
No wonder he felt that this young woman looked somewhat like Emperor Xu Jiawei earlier.
So they were siblings.
Qian Daoliu didn’t have any particular opinion on this.
“This old man will take his leave now.”
He strode out of the Royal Library.
Leaving only a composed silhouette for Princess Xu Jiujiu.
Princess Xu Jiujiu watched his retreating figure.
She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart: “As expected of a Titled Douluo that even my brother praises.
This calm and composed demeanor is something I will never be able to learn.”
Subsequently, she remembered that she still had important matters to attend to.
She immediately withdrew her gaze.
And hurried off to find the ancient texts she wanted.
Tonight, a top-tier auction is being held at the Starlight Auction House.
She is responsible for serving as the auctioneer.
Not long ago, upon receiving the list of items for this auction, she discovered that there were a few things whose specific functions she was unsure about, which was why she had rushed to the Royal Library to consult some ancient texts.
…
Qian Daoliu returned to the detached small building.
He discovered that Dai Hao was here.
Seeing him return, Dai Hao appeared very enthusiastic: “Brother Qian, there is a top-tier auction at the Starlight Auction House tonight.
Would you like to go and take a look together?”
Qian Daoliu did not want to go at all, feeling that it would be better to stay in his room and Cultivate.
However, Dai Hao quickly added that there was an auction item that he believed he would definitely be interested in.
Qian Daoliu asked: “What is it?”
Dai Hao replied with a smile: “A 100,000-year Spirit Beast embryo!”
“This is a real treasure, equivalent to a ready-made 100,000-year spirit ring and 100,000-year Spirit Bone!”
“It might even allow the possessor to obtain a brand-new Spirit and become a Spirit Master with twin spirits!”
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment.
He felt that it didn’t seem like a big deal.
He didn’t need it at all.
But after thinking about it, he decided to go after all.
After all, he had lived for a hundred years and had seen many 100,000-year Spirit Beasts.
But he had never seen a 100,000-year Spirit Beast embryo even once.
So there was no harm in taking a look.
Anyway, he didn’t really have anything to do right now besides Cultivate.
“Let’s go.”
…
The two traveled together and arrived at the location shortly after.
Dai Hao introduced: “This is the Starlight Auction House, one of the top auction houses on the continent, specializing in high-end rare auction items.”
Qian Daoliu looked up to inspect it.
The Starlight Auction House occupied a vast area, with a facade five stories high.
The outer walls were entirely built of white marble, inlaid with golden starlit patterns.
A huge plaque hung above the main entrance, with the words “Starlight Auction House” written on it.
Each character emitted a faint fluorescent glow.
Two rows of welcoming attendants stood at the entrance.
Each was tall, beautiful, and wore a uniform silver-white long dress.
A star-shaped brooch was pinned to their collars.
Seeing the two walk over, they bowed in unison.
“Welcome to the Starlight Auction House.”
Their voices were crisp and pleasant, and their movements were uniform.
At this moment, the guards at the entrance recognized Dai Hao.
They hurriedly ran over to show themselves.
“Lord Duke.”
Dai Hao waved his hand.
He invited Qian Daoliu to go in together.
The interior of the auction house was even more imposing, with a dome over ten zhang high, inlaid with countless fist-sized spirit tool crystals.
The crystals emitted a soft starlight, illuminating the entire hall brilliantly.
The floor was made of obsidian, smooth enough to reflect light.
The walls were hung with large famous paintings and Spirit Beast bone specimens.
In the center of the hall stood a huge armillary sphere sculpture, slowly rotating, with starlight flowing across it.
Staff members dressed in uniform attire moved back and forth.
The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful.
Upon seeing the two, they all stopped and bowed.
Dai Hao had clearly been here before, and more than once.
He led Qian Daoliu through the hall, down the red-carpeted stairs, and arrived at the auction venue located underground.
Some people had already gathered here, and there was no shortage of experts above the level of Spirit Saint.
There were also several independent VIP rooms distributed in a fan shape around the perimeter.
In the center was a large platform, raised three feet above the ground, covered with deep red velvet.
Qian Daoliu spread his mental force to scan the area.
He discovered that the group from Shrek had also arrived.
They were all inside VIP Room No.
7.
The seven young people from the Sun Moon Empire from before had also come.
They were all inside VIP Room No.
2.
In addition.
There was also a level 92 Titled Douluo, likely a team-leading teacher or something similar.
Qian Daoliu turned his attention to VIP Room No.
3.
He discovered that there were two Spirit Douluos inside.
Their Physical Body looked very powerful.
Their muscles were knotted, their blood and Qi were abundant, and just sitting there gave people a sense of oppression.
If he wasn’t mistaken, they should be people from the Body Sect.
Qian Daoliu hadn’t wasted his time reading those ancient texts during this period, so naturally, he knew about the Body Sect.
This was a Sect that only recruited those with a Body Martial Soul, and it seemed they also possessed a secret technique for the Awakening of a Body Martial Soul, which was quite magical.
The so-called Body Martial Soul was when a certain part of the body became the Spirit.
Before Qian Daoliu’s Transmigration, although he had never heard of any Body Martial Soul, through the records in the ancient texts, he knew that Body Martial Soul was actually a name given only a few thousand years ago.
Such as hands, feet, skin, blood, heart, brain, hair…
In the past, he had indeed seen people who had awakened such a Spirit.
But they weren’t called Body Martial Soul; they were collectively referred to as Beast Spirit.
Qian Daoliu pondered to himself.
In this era, there were indeed many new and novel things.
First there were spirit tools, and then there was the Body Martial Soul.
If there was a chance, he could indeed go to the Body Sect for a visit.
If he could learn the secret technique for the Awakening of a Body Martial Soul, that would naturally be even better.
“Brother Qian, let’s go to VIP Room No.
1; His Majesty is also there.”
At this moment, Dai Hao made a gesture of invitation.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
He followed Dai Hao to VIP Room No.
1.
During this time, he discovered four hidden people.
All of them were Titled Douluo.
Two were level 92, and two were level 98.
He remembered one of them.
It was that blockhead he had taught a lesson to at the Mingdou Mountain Range back then.
At this moment, the other party was wearing sloppy clothes, huddled in a corner outside, clutching a wine gourd in his hand, mumbling something in his mouth that he didn’t know.
As for the other three people, he directly ignored the two level 92 Titled Douluo.
He focused his attention on the last person.
The other party’s blood and Qi were surging within his body; there was no doubt that he had tempered his Physical Body to the extreme.
It was highly likely that he was an expert from the Body Sect.
Qian Daoliu felt that he must be there to escort the Disciples.
So he didn’t take it to heart.
He walked slowly behind Dai Hao and entered VIP Room No.
