Honestly, you’re so easily startled!” The young actor glanced at Su Ran, rubbing his surprised ears.

Su Ran paid no heed, turning all his attention to the huge illustration.

“This item is extremely profound and peculiar.

I suppose everyone has clearly seen its name,” Tan Fatty took a deep breath.

“Yes, this is indeed a high-level Cauldron Soul.

Anything with ‘high-level’ in its name can’t possibly be trivial.

Cauldron Souls are intangible and without substance, extremely difficult to obtain.

This one was procured by the seller under very fortuitous circumstances.”

“But what’s with this ‘weakened’ label?” A player abruptly stood up and asked.

“Excellent, that’s what I was about to talk about.” Tan Fatty signaled the player to sit down and pointed at the illustration.

“You all must have noticed the annotation ‘weakened’ after the item name.”

“It indicates that the Cauldron Soul isn’t in great condition.

As the saying goes, when a person dies, their soul ascends to heaven.

It holds some truth to it.

Without a vessel for containment, the Soul will gradually dissipate.

What a Soul-Infusing Cauldronmeans to players, you all understand.

It’s a pity such a treasurable item was born at an unfortunate time,” Tan Fatty sighed with a somber expression.

Tan Fatty knew well that getting a Soulless Cauldron was extremely challenging.

Only relics from the ancient times could possess the potential to contain it.

However, ancient relics weren’t easily obtainable.

“May I ask, how long is the survival time of this high-level Cauldron Soul?” Another player stood up.

Su Ran knew him; he was a top-ranking player named Master Spearman.

“It will dissipate within fifteen days,” Tan Fatty said regretfully.

“It is unfortunate for such a treasure.

I hope it can find its opportunity and luck here.

Enough chatter, the starting price for the high-level Cauldron Soul is 100 gold coins!

Each bid must increase by at least 10 gold coins!

The auction officially begins now!”

“Wow!”

An item on the brink of dissipation was starting at a whopping 100 gold coins!

All players retracted, none made a bid.

Who were they kidding?

If it were valued at one or two gold coins, they might have fought over it, but no one saw the need to bid now.

Perhaps Tan Fatty had realized this problem and chose to be honest rather than artificially hyping up the atmosphere.

Time ticked by, and an oppressive silence blanketed the venue.

Even Tan Fatty was uncharacteristically silent.

Just when the passing time was about to conclude, Tan Fatty, with regret in his face, was about to announce the destiny of the high-level Cauldron Soul when a hoarse voice echoed throughout the venue.

“110 gold coins.”

The speaker was Su Ran.

He naturally wouldn’t let this high-level Cauldron Soul pass him by.

After all, an ancient bone Cauldron remained in Su Ran’s bladder.

Now that a high-level Cauldron Soul had appeared, Su Ran had no reason not to collect it.

“The bidder in VIP room No.

3 bids 110 gold coins!” Tan Fatty’s heart leaped.

The burden on his shoulders seemed to lessen, and he exhaled a long sigh of relief.

Failed auctions were bad for an auctioneer’s reputation, especially for high-level auctioneers, as it negatively affects their performance.

Now that a player was willing to pay, Tan Fatty picked up his spirit as if he had been given a new lease of life.

He lavishly praised the VIP in room No.

3, attributing words like “sharp-eyed,” “discerning,” and the like to Su Ran.

He purposely delayed hammering down.

The player named Overturning Water heard this, his body covered in goosebumps.

“Overturning Water, are you really that outstanding?

Buying a high-level Cauldron Soul has earned you such compliments, you’re talked about as if you’re a rare flower.

What would happen if this high-level auctioneer found out you are the person who sold the Golden Pet Egg?

Would he rush over crying, clutching at your leg?” Overturning water teased with his eyes shimmering with amusement.

Su Ran didn’t respond to Overturning Water’s mockery.

He was getting impatient, Was Tan Fatty trying to create a scene?

Why hadn’t the gavel fallen yet?

As Su Ran feared, the situation he wished to avoid happened.

“120 gold coins.”

A faint voice came.

Su Ran looked over.

The bidder was the player possessing the Rebirth Gold Bar.

Su Ran frowned, annoyed within, cursing Tan Fatty for ruining his plans.

Comparatively, Tan Fatty heard another bid and sprung up as if he had taken a stimulant.

Where there’s competition, there are price hikes.

This was an unchanging fact!

“Player 66 bids 120 gold coins.

The value of a high-level Cauldron Soul is beginning to show.

Brave warriors among us, what are you waiting for?

Pick up your bidding paddles and start bidding!” Tan Fatty seemed crazed, waving his arms about.

His thunderous voice was bellowed across the room.

“130 gold coins.”

“140 gold coins.”

One after another, many players, stirred by Tan Fatty, began to cautiously raise their bids.

Su Ran was speechless.

After contemplating, he used his distinct hoarse voice getting straight to the point, “200 gold coins!”

“Wow!”

The players were stunned.

Was the person in VIP room 3 nuts?

A Cauldron Soul that was about to dissipate was elevated to a whopping 200 gold coins by him!

“He might possess a Soulless Cauldron!”

A player exclaimed loudly, casting an unknown look towards VIP room No.

3.

“Nah, he might be the seller trying to hike up the price.”

“Or it could be a rich man trying to show off!”

No matter the discussions, the VIP room No.

3 became the focal point of player attention.

Su Ran watched the scene seriously, knowing trouble was brewing.

His sudden price hike might lead to unnecessary consequences.

“VIP in room No.3 bids 200 gold coins!” Tan Fatty’s excitement seemed explosive, although given his hefty size, all he could do was imagine jumping in joy.

“250 gold coins.”

The Shield Warrior who had the Rebirth Gold Bar glared sullenly at VIP room No.

3 and quoted a price, completely overshadowing Su Ran’s earlier bid.

“Player 66 raises the bid by 50 gold coins!

A high-level Cauldron Soul is a rarity, brave warriors, time to go crazy!” Tan Fatty was so excited that his entire body quivered, spraying saliva as he shouted.

“Oh, just a quick question, can a high-level Cauldron Soul work on an ordinary Cauldron?” A female player rushed to ask.

Her voice was soft, but she hit the nail right on the head.

Tan Fatty was taken aback.

He looked at the female player, nodded, and resounded, “No, it can only be used on high-level Soul Tripods!”

With that one statement, like a heavy downpour, it doused the flame of enthusiasm that had just sparked in the players.

The auction house fell silent again.

Tan Fatty glanced at VIP room No.3.

Seeing that Su Ran wasn’t raising his bid anymore, he hammered down forcefully, declaring that the high-level Cauldron Soul belonged to Player 66!

Su Ran realized an important issue.

He did not know if the damaged bone Cauldron in his bladder was a high-level bone Cauldron.

If not, wouldn’t he be the one at a loss?

So he decided not to raise his bid anymore and let the high-level Cauldron Soul be auctioned off to the player with triangular eyes.

“Next, the item up for auction is a scroll!” This time, Tan Fatty came out full of passion, “As we all know, scrolls are always sought after by us warriors.

They increase the power of skills, making our attacks sharper, and significantly boosting the resultant damage!”
