Chapter 183: The Second Auction Item: A Seed
"Next, we will proceed with the auction of the second item!"
Jiang Li's clear voice rang out.
As soon as his words fell, a beam of green light suddenly descended onto the auction stage.
When the light dissipated, a small black particle appeared in front of everyone.
The black particle glimmered faintly under the lights, as if it contained endless secrets.
The small object was surrounded by green light, and as soon as it appeared, a rich life force began to spread outwards.
The people sitting in the front rows couldn't help but absorb this life force.
An elderly soul master, whose face had been pale, instantly became flushed. He widened his eyes in astonishment, feeling the restlessness in his soul power as though he had returned to the peak state of his youth.
"What is this? It contains such vast life force! But it looks like a seed."
"You're right, this is indeed a seed, and it is most likely a plant seed with a powerful life attribute."
"..."
Seeing the second auction item, the crowd began to discuss amongst themselves.
Since this was the second auction item, its value must be more precious than the previous puppets, which made everyone even more curious about the origin of this seed.
Some soul masters who studied plant martial souls eagerly took out magnifying glasses, trying to discern any clues from the seed's markings.
Compared to the human soul masters, the Soul Beast Clan's fierce beasts had their pupils suddenly shrink, their eyes locked on the black seed on the auction stage.
At the forefront, Di Tian's body trembled. His bloodline was surging wildly within him, as if he had encountered a treasure that was irresistibly drawing him in.
"This life force? Could it be…"
His voice was filled with undisguised excitement. He pointed at the seed but couldn't finish his sentence.
The King of Myriad Beasts and the other fierce beasts couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The Soul Beast Clan had lived in the Star Dou Forest for tens of thousands of years, and their sensitivity to life force was unparalleled.
From their perception, the life force emitted by this seed was too intense, and its level was unprecedented.
And this was just a seed. If it were to sprout and grow, once it reached full maturity, the life force it would unleash would be unimaginably terrifying—something they couldn't even dare to imagine.
Di Tian leaned forward slightly, his eyes filled with desire. The soul beasts behind him stood up, eyes never leaving the seed.
"Bi Ji, what do you think of this seed?"
Di Tian turned to look at Bi Ji, who was wearing a green dress beside him.
As the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji possessed powerful life force and should be able to sense the mystery of this seed.
Bi Ji's hands trembled slightly as she held them in front of her chest, feeling the resonance caused by the life force emanating from the seed.
"This seed indeed belongs to the life-class plants. Its aura is very similar to the Life Tree from the core of the Star Dou Forest."
"From the level of life force it emits, it surpasses the Life Tree by far."
Bi Ji furrowed her brows, her green pupils filled with shock.
After feeling the life force, the bloodline power within her resonated. This seed emitted life force that seemed to be the ultimate life force.
Her own life attribute had already reached the limit, but even facing this seed, she still felt a sense of suppression in terms of levels.
This kind of feeling had only occurred before when she encountered a Limit Douluo with ultimate life attributes at Star Auction Pavilion.
"In my judgment, this seed's level is higher than the Life Tree. Once it matures completely, it should have the ultimate life attribute."
Bi Ji took a deep breath and voiced her speculation.
Sure enough, when the Soul Beasts, including Di Tian, heard this guess, their faces showed shock.
This was all completely unexpected.
"If we can truly obtain this seed, our Soul Beast Clan might be able to completely change the power dynamics with human soul masters."
Di Tian muttered to himself, already calculating how to win in the upcoming bidding.
"This seed definitely has the ultimate life attribute, but to make it fully mature, the resources required are too enormous. With our current foundation in the Star Dou Forest, it's impossible to achieve in the short term."
Gu Yue Na spoke solemnly and slowly.
As the Silver Dragon King, she had a unique understanding of life force, and she knew how difficult it would be to cultivate such a seed.
"Once this plant matures, the benefits will be immense. The strength of the entire Star Dou Forest will increase at least tenfold."
Her eyes shimmered with longing as she imagined the prosperous future of the Soul Beast Clan nurtured by the ultimate life force.
"That's indeed a bit of a pity."
The nearby Bear King couldn't help but sigh. After all, the seed would only truly benefit the Soul Beast Clan once it fully matured.
He lowered his head in thought. Even with the current resources in the Star Dou Forest, cultivating the seed would take a long time, and along the way, they might face many unknown risks.
"Don't worry, as long as this life seed sprouts, it will continuously release its power, which will also nurture our Soul Beast Clan. I suggest we must acquire this seed."
Bi Ji shook her head and continued speaking.
She remembered the days she had spent cultivating near the Life Tree. The gentle life force had made her strength grow rapidly.
And the power contained in this seed far exceeded that of the Life Tree. Once planted, it would bring unimaginable benefits.
Di Tian and the others shared Bi Ji's thoughts. They saw no reason to let this opportunity slip by—an opportunity to permanently enhance the strength of the Soul Beast Clan.
The other soul beasts said nothing more, quietly waiting for Star Auction Pavilion to reveal whether the second item was truly as magical as they had imagined.
"I believe everyone has probably guessed by now. The second auction item is indeed a plant seed. It is the seed of the Ancient Life Tree, and it can also be understood as a type of Soul Beast."
Jiang Li's voice was full of allure as he paused for a moment, observing the reactions of the crowd.
As expected, hearing the words "Soul Beast," many people's expressions turned to one of surprise.
"As the Ancient Life Tree matures, the life force it releases will continue to evolve. When the Ancient Life Tree is fully mature, the life force it releases will be true ultimate life force."
Jiang Li's expression became serious as he introduced the power of the Ancient Life Tree's seed.
Indeed, upon hearing the words "ultimate life attribute," everyone's faces lit up with excitement, their breathing becoming quickened.
Although they hadn't directly experienced this kind of power, on Douluo Continent, any soul master with an ultimate martial soul had eventually become a top-tier powerhouse who dominated the continent.
Moreover, the effects of the ultimate life attribute were considered one of the most powerful of all the ultimate attributes.
"I don't need to explain much. You can all imagine the terrifying nature of the ultimate life attribute."
"Once the Ancient Life Tree matures, as long as you cultivate beside it, not only will your cultivation speed increase, but your lifespan will also increase by decades or even over a hundred years, along with many other miraculous effects."
Jiang Li continued to emphasize the many benefits of the ultimate life attribute.
