Chapter 145·The divine craftsman Lou Gao
With such a large piece of earth vein flame crystal, Chen Ming could use his toes to understand how much impact the fire attribute soul beast in that place could have. God knows whether there was a small-scale beast tide in that place.
Chen Ming always thought that he could only see such taboo things in auction houses such as the black market. I didn’t expect that the Tiandou Royal Auction House would also openly auction such things
Chen Ming used his mental power to sense it. The Earth Vein Flame Crystal, which was as tall as half a man, contained a large amount of spirituality and soul power. It was a rare top-grade material. Although the excavation methods were too rough, the spirituality gradually showed a state of passage. But it's still valuable.
If placed in the Peerless Tang Sect period ten thousand years later, such a large piece of Earth Vein Flame Crystal would probably be worth tens of millions of gold soul coins, and could be used to make three or four ninth-level and eighth-level soul guidance tools. The scraps could also be used in soul guidance tools. In the manufacture of artillery shells.
But in this era, such a piece of earth vein flame crystal with extraordinary meaning and value is only worth a few hundred thousand gold soul coins.
Chen Ming is now thinking about the application of spirituality, which requires the use of many materials that contain or can carry spirituality and laws as test subjects. Such a large piece of Earth Vein Flame Crystal could allow him to conduct many experiments.
The price of the Earth Vein Flame Crystal had just been raised to about 150,000 gold soul coins by a group of people. Chen Ming turned on the loudspeaker soul guide in the room and shouted out his price.
"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins."
This was the first bid for the top floor room, and it increased by a full 50,000 gold soul coins in one go. The soul masters below, who were planning to bid, hesitated and gave up their bids.
Just when Chen Ming thought he could capture the Earth Vein Flame Crystal like this, an old voice came from the middle-level private room.
"Three hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
At the auction house, it was normal for someone to increase the price. Chen Ming was not a brainless villain, so he would not be angry. He opened the soul guide at will and continued to quote.
"Four hundred thousand gold soul coins."
Anyway, now, the Chen family's accumulated wealth can be used by him, and Dugu Bo himself also gave him a lot of gold soul coins.
The cash that can be used now is about 20 million gold soul coins, and he doesn't even blink an eye for a mere increase of 100,000 or 100,000.
He even said that if it was not enough, he could go to the Qibao Glazed Sect and continue to take out the 45 million gold soul coins that his family had in the Qibao Glazed Sect. This power is even higher than that of Chen Shijie, the head of the Chen family.
With the talent Chen Ming is showing now, Chen Ming has spent all the gold soul coins that the Chen family has accumulated over the past few hundred years. All members of the Chen family would clap their hands and shout loudly for the flowers. Chen Shijie and Chen Tianyun can also continue to take clansmen with soul power to hunt souls to give Chen Ming money.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins!"
Just like he was competing with Chen Ming, just after Chen Ming completed his quotation, the old voice in the middle-level private room immediately increased the price, but there was still some fluctuation in the voice.
Obviously, this price is already a bit painful for him.
"Fifty thousand gold soul coins." Chen Ming ignored that and continued to add.
For a small noble, five hundred thousand gold soul coins is already the entire wealth accumulated by the family over the past hundred years. After hearing the quotation, the old man in the middle room was silent for a long time. It was not until A-Zhen shouted for the second time that he continued to increase the price tremblingly. "Fifty-one million gold soul coins"
In the middle room, Lou Gao tremblingly said his last price increase. At this moment, this famous craftsman in Douluo Continent hated himself for not bringing more money this time.
Blacksmithing is not a noble profession in itself. Even Lou Gao is the president of the Blacksmiths Association, one of the three great master craftsmen in the world, and he speaks the truth in Gengxin City, the capital of blacksmiths. But what attracted more attention on the mainland was his Soul Saint level status.
In this era, most of the blacksmith's works were aimed at low-level soul masters. A precious weapon and armor that took several years of hard work to build would be considered good if it could be sold for several thousand gold soul coins. Compared with the soul mentor in the second part, the income gap is almost dimensional.
As a master craftsman, Lou Gao himself usually buys a lot of rare materials as consumables for his own research, which naturally consumes a lot of money. Although I came here this time after hearing that top-quality materials would be available at the auction, I only had a total of half a million gold soul coins with me.
But he never expected that he would meet someone who could compete with him on this kind of material. Every time the price is increased, it is an increase of 50,000, as if there are tens of millions of gold soul coins as the backing, and the price does not matter at all.
Although this kind of thing is indeed rare, for most people, it should not be worth the price.
This 510,000 gold soul coins was already the price that Lou Gao had to shout out after gritting his teeth and preparing to give some of the materials and works he carried to the Tiandou Royal Auction House.
He really didn't bring anything good with him when he went out this time. If he were taller, even if it cost him one or two thousand gold soul coins, Lou Gao wouldn't be able to afford it.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins." Chen Ming didn't know who the soul master sitting in the middle room was, so he just randomly increased the price again. But after the price of 550,000 gold soul coins was shouted out, the entire audience fell into complete silence.
The man in the middle room opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. But looking at the Earth Vein Flame Crystal that was half a man tall, the master craftsman who devoted himself to the blacksmith industry couldn't help but turn on the amplified soul guide, but this time it was not to increase the price.

"Your Excellency, I am Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmiths Association and a master craftsman of the world. The auction is over. Can you show me the Earth Vein Flame Crystal? If you are willing to sell one-fifth of it to me, I am willing to pay two hundred thousand gold. Soul Coin.”
When Lou Gao said these words, the person in charge of the auction house immediately changed his expression. He immediately called the Soul Saint-level guardian, who usually fished in the water, and walked directly towards the room on the upper floor.
Lou Gao's method of shouting would never be allowed in the Tiandou auction house. Even the divine craftsman, even the soul saint, will be driven out. At worst, they will not be allowed to enter the auction house for five years, and at worst, they will be banned from entering for life.
Of course, the rules are set by fists. If Lou Gao was a Titled Douluo, he would of course pretend not to hear such illegal shouting. But after all, Lou Gao is just a soul saint, right?
Although the so-called divine craftsman sounds good, in fact, its gold content on the mainland is far less important than that of the soul saint.
When he said this, Lou Gao was already prepared for the result that he would be kicked out. So he lowered his head and walked to the door. Not long after, I saw the door to the room open, and a serious-looking manager came over with an elderly soul master whose soul power was faintly fluctuating.
Seeing that Lou Gao was ready to be expelled, the administrator and the old soul master's expressions became slightly better, and they did not make any forced actions. But just as the three of them were about to go down, a gentle voice suddenly appeared in their minds.
"Ahem, I am Chen Ming from Room 6 on the top floor. Can the manager be accommodating and let Master Lou Gao come to my room for a chat?"
