"Next, we will be auctioning off an extremely rare treasure. All the gentlemen present and the ladies who have husbands are in for a treat."
After saying that, the auctioneer on the high platform clapped his hands, and a lightly dressed maid walked up with a tray.
After the tray was placed in front of him, the auctioneer smiled and said, "Whale gum, I'm sure everyone has heard of it, and many guests have probably even consumed it. But have any of you heard of ten-thousand-year-level whale gum?"
"Ten-thousand-year-level whale gum?"
As soon as the auctioneer said this, some people in the audience immediately showed interested expressions.
For them, whale gum was not a particularly rare item, but ten-thousand-year-level whale gum was indeed very uncommon.
This is because whale gum comes from the brains of whale-type spirit beasts, which live in the deep sea and are very difficult to hunt.
Hundred-year or thousand-year levels are one thing, but ten-thousand-year-level whale gum requires at least a Spirit Sage leading a hunting party to have a chance of obtaining it, which is a very demanding requirement.
Leaving aside the fact that Spirit Sages are few in number, even with a Spirit Sage leading the team, it is still very dangerous on the vast and boundless ocean.
Therefore, unless they happen to encounter a suitable whale-type spirit beast while needing to attach a spirit ring for a junior, spirit masters generally do not actively hunt ten-thousand-year whale-type spirit beasts, which leads to the scarcity of ten-thousand-year-level whale gum.
And the ten-thousand-year whale gum on this auction stage likely came from such a situation.
"Whale gum has a miraculous effect of strengthening yang. Appropriate consumption can increase pleasure during that activity, and ten-thousand-year-level whale gum is the ultimate among them."
As he spoke, the auctioneer removed the cloth covering the tray, and a crystalline, deep yellow crystal about the size of an adult's fist appeared before the eyes of everyone in the auction hall.
After displaying this piece of ten-thousand-year whale gum for a while, the auctioneer shouted to the audience below, "Ten-thousand-year whale gum, starting bid is ten thousand gold spirit coins, each bid must not be less than one thousand gold spirit coins. The auction begins now!"
As soon as the words fell, the price of this piece of ten-thousand-year whale gum soared rapidly: eleven thousand, twelve thousand, thirteen thousand...
Before long, this piece of ten-thousand-year whale gum had actually risen to over thirty thousand gold spirit coins and was still gradually increasing.
"A piece of whale gum is worth so many gold spirit coins? I think they're really crazy."
Seeing this crazy scene, Huowu was somewhat dumbfounded. It was just an item for strengthening yang, was it necessary to be so frantic?
Huo Wushuang and Yu Tianxin, upon hearing this, smiled and said nothing.
Strengthening yang for men is like beauty and skincare for women. If they didn't have considerable confidence in themselves, they might not have been able to resist bidding.
After all, ten-thousand-year whale gum is hard to find in the world, and a piece this large is enough for them to use for a long time.
As time passed, the bidding for this piece of ten-thousand-year whale gum also approached its end.
"Eighty thousand! A red VIP has bid eighty thousand gold spirit coins! Is there any higher bid?"
As he said this, the auctioneer was a little excited. Although ten-thousand-year whale gum was precious, its use was niche, and it didn't have a huge gap compared to hundred-year and thousand-year whale gum. He originally thought it would be good to reach fifty thousand gold spirit coins, but he didn't expect it to reach eighty thousand.
Just when he thought the auction for the ten-thousand-year whale gum was over, a higher price made his eyes widen directly.
"Ninety thousand! A red VIP has bid ninety thousand gold spirit coins!!" The auctioneer was already a little crazy. He thought eighty thousand was the limit, but he didn't expect there to be a master.
Below, Shui Bing'er, Yu Tianxin, Huowu, and Huo Wushuang all looked at Mo Hui with surprised eyes.
"I didn't expect it, Mo Hui, you're this kind of person!"
A moment later, Huowu, who had recovered, looked at Mo Hui with a teasing look in her eyes.
Yu Tianxin, on the other hand, hesitated and said, "Brother Mo, did you press the wrong button? Although this ten-thousand-year whale gum is rare, it's not worth ninety thousand gold spirit coins."
Although ten-thousand-year whale gum is rare, it's more of a gimmick. For strengthening yang, hundred-year or thousand-year whale gum is already sufficient.
"I didn't press the wrong button, this ten-thousand-year whale gum is useful to me," Mo Hui replied without changing his expression.
Ten-thousand-year whale gum is extremely rare. If he missed this opportunity, it might be difficult for him to encounter it again, unless he personally hunted a ten-thousand-year whale-type spirit beast later.
But by then, whale gum would not be of much significance to him.
"Amazing, brother."
Huo Wushuang gave a thumbs up and said.
On the other side, Shui Bing'er's face was slightly red, but seeing Mo Hui's calm appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that he wasn't buying it for himself, but for an elder?
Currently, the impression of whale gum among people is still for strengthening yang, because just a little bit of whale gum can achieve the effect of strengthening yang. As for its effect of improving physical fitness, that was only discovered much later.
As for its effect of increasing the absorption limit of spirit rings, let alone that. Currently, the Douluo Continent hasn't even completely figured out the spirit ring year limit. The fact that Yu Xiaogang could gain so much fame just by summarizing a little shows how backward the Douluo Continent is in terms of theory right now.
"Ninety thousand gold spirit coins once, ninety thousand gold spirit coins twice, ninety thousand gold spirit coins three times, sold! Congratulations to the distinguished guest in the red area for winning this rare piece of ten-thousand-year whale gum!"
No one continued to compete with Mo Hui. After all, it was just an item for strengthening yang and aphrodisiac, and it was a non-essential item with substitutes. Reaching eighty thousand before was already very high, and bidding higher than ninety thousand gold spirit coins would be irrational.
Perhaps some prodigal sons who don't care about money would do that, but clearly, there was no such person among the people present at the moment.
"The next item for auction is a high-quality soul tool. It ingeniously adopts the shape of a ring, the overall color is black..."
After the auction of the ten-thousand-year whale gum ended, the auctioneer began auctioning the next item. As for the ten-thousand-year whale gum, Mo Hui could pick it up at the backstage when he left later.
The Heaven Dou Auction House truly lived up to its reputation as a world-renowned auction house. The various items that appeared afterwards even surprised Mo Hui. Mo Hui also took this opportunity to purchase several books, including even a notebook of a Title Douluo.
And Yu Tianxin and the others didn't come in vain either; they all successfully bid on items they desired.
Shui Bing'er bought a light blue necklace, Huowu took a fancy to a top-tier training dummy, Yu Tianxin successfully bid on a stone with blue electric light, and Huo Wushuang got a unique soul tool.
Finally, when Mo Hui returned to his room, it was already late at night.
Looking at the bright moon hanging high overhead, and feeling the windless environment, Mo Hui smiled helplessly and said, "Pidgeot, I'll have to rely on you again."
"Pidgeot!"
A flash of green light appeared, and a magnificent large bird, similar in size to Mo Hui, with a predominantly brown back, creamy face, abdomen, and inner wings, and long red feathers on its head, appeared before him.
After absorbing the fifth spirit ring, Pidgeotto had truly completely evolved, becoming its final evolution, Pidgeot!
Mo Hui jumped onto Pidgeot's back, and then, riding Pidgeot, turned into a streak of green light and flew towards the sky thousands of meters high.
