023.Blade of the Soul (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
When the Sun and Moon Clans entered the auction hall, Huo Yuhao, who was walking behind the team, saw another team coming from a distance.
After a closer look, it was found that the people from the Shrek Academy team were taking the lead, and it seemed that they were also coming to this auction in order to increase their chances of winning the next battle.
Of course, not only Huo Yuhao saw the people of Shrek Academy, but Ma Rulong, who was also walking behind the team, also discovered them. It's just that both sides invariably choose not to greet each other.
After Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao glanced at each other, they saw the atmosphere of the two sides, and they didn't greet each other with interest. The two sides walked straight into the auction hall one after the other.
Walking into the auction room, a red carpet, five-meter-wide staircase stretches downward, and there is no staff to guide you outside. It went all the way down, about twenty meters deeper, before arriving at the registration place.
After Ma Lao registered, he took a number plate, and with the number plate, a girl in a long red dress led them inside.
Passing through a quaint wooden door, the scene suddenly changed, and the sight was full of gold. A wide corridor is resplendent with gold, and its decoration is even more luxurious than the Star Emperor Hotel where Huo Yuhao and the others live.
While the hostess led them inside, she did not forget to introduce them to the specifications of this auction:
"Today's is a special auction of soul guides, because only soul guides below level 6 will be auctioned, so the specifications are low.
According to the classification, it can only be regarded as a fourth-level auction. Our Starlight Auction House is graded from one to five, with the first level being the highest standard, and only the first level auction will be in the main auction hall. This is Hall 12, which can accommodate 200 people at the same time. Dedicated to the four-tier auction. ”
When everyone walked into the twelfth auction room, the light dimmed as soon as they went, because only the surrounding walls had a wall lamp, and everyone who entered the auction hall received a beautiful mask to hide their faces.
After Huo Yuhao and the others sat down, they waited for a while, and the auction officially began.
A woman in a long purple dress walked up from the side of the auction room, she looked about thirty years old, dignified and beautiful, with a hint of a smile on her face.
"Welcome to the Starlight Auctions, our auction is about to begin, please take your seats." A beautiful female voice came from the mouth of the woman who walked up.
As her voice rang out, the lights around her slowly dimmed. The lights on the auction table have suddenly increased to allow customers to see the lots more clearly.
"Good evening, distinguished guests, I am Qingya, the purple-level auctioneer of Starlight Auction House, and I will preside over this auction today. Today's auction is a special session for soul guides.
The lots are all soul guides below level 6, which are suitable for soul masters and soul masters who have cultivated below the soul king and soul king. At the same time, in order to make the trip worthwhile for all the distinguished guests, we have a mysterious gift lot at the end. Don't miss it.
Our auction has officially begun, and we invite the staff to present the first lot of the day. ”
As Qingya said, the main tone of this auction is the soul guide. However, the people of the Sun and Moon Clan obviously didn't look down on these soul guides, and they patronized the magnificent decorations around them one by one.
Two girls in red dresses pushed a cart to the auction table, which was covered with a purple cloth, and pushed the cart to a stop in the middle of the cart, and at the same time lifted the mask on it.
A black soul guide appeared on top of the cart, this soul guide was rectangular, about a foot long, and had intricate patterns engraved on it.
Qingya auctioneer smiled: "Our No. 1 lot is a third-level attack soul guide, a more common soul guide ray. Originally, this kind of ordinary soul guide could not be auctioned by us.
However, this Level 3 Soul Guide Ray, which can be attached to the right arm, is from a Level 6 Soul Master. It's a special work, and it's rare.
In the hands of the master who made him, the simplicity was reduced to the complex, and special effects were added to the inner core circle. ”
The Soul Guide Ray comes with paralysis, so its real name should be called the Soul Guide Paralysis Ray. After being hit, all the soul masters below the Soul King will be affected. The degree of influence is related to the cultivation of the soul master itself. ”
We've experimented. This soul guide paralysis ray acts on the soul king's body, which can paralyze him for about a second.
The premise is that the Soul King must be hit, and he does not use soul skills or soul guides to defend. And when it is applied to the Soul Sect, it can be paralyzed for more than two seconds, and the premise is the same. And the three-ring soul master of the same level as it will be paralyzed for about three to four seconds. ”
"Please note that all the experiments we have done are aimed at attacking the Soul Master. If it is another soul master, the effect will definitely change. ”
"This soul guide paralysis ray is very demanding for the user, but it is very practical. It is a rare boutique among the third-level soul guides. The starting price is 1,000 gold soul coins, and each increase is not less than 50 gold soul coins. Start now. ”
Qingya's voice fell, and someone immediately raised a sign, "1,300 gold soul coins." ”
Looking at the shouts around them, the people of the Sun and Moon Empire were indifferent.
Although this soul guide looks creative, it needs to be used according to personal characteristics to exert maximum power.
Everyone in the Sun and Moon Empire is at the level of a mid-level soul master, and they have already begun to tailor a soul guide suitable for themselves.
But in addition to them, there are still many other forces who are excited about these soul guides, and the most enthusiastic of them is Shrek.
In the end, this soul guide also fell into the pocket of Shrek Academy at a good transaction price.
In the following time, more than a dozen soul guides were successively acquired by the wealthy Shrek Academy.
"Why did Shrek suddenly change sex? I bought a lot of soul guides at once. Meng Hongchen looked at Wang Yan, who opened his mouth one after another, and said to everyone.
"It is estimated that this is also related to the strength they are showing now, and there is still one round of events ahead, so it is only right to seize the opportunity to strengthen themselves." Xiao Hongchen responded to her sister's question.
As the auction progressed, everyone in the Sun and Moon Clan, who was originally lacking in interest, also began to be interested.
For no other reason, the second half of the auction was quite sincere, and the auctioneer took out a lot of rare metals that were only produced in the Star Luo Empire or were rarely exported to the outside world.
For the soul masters of the Sun and Moon team, this is a lot worth paying attention to.
At the request of everyone, Ma Lao also frequently called for bids, and among the people who participated in the auction, he won seven or eight rare metals weighing 50 kilograms one after another.
These seven or eight pieces of rare metals add up to not a small amount, many of them are high-level soul guide production materials, which are worth a lot of money in themselves, and there is also a weight there.
Huo Yuhao calculated, if it was to buy these rare metals in the Sun and Moon Empire, Ma Lao would have to spend more than 50,000 gold soul coins!
Several people in the team sighed: "This trip was not in vain! This trip is at least the rare metal quota issued by the Value Academy for most of the year, and the college is so generous that I am served!
……
Just under the expectation of everyone in the Sun and Moon team, the last lot was finally brought up.
The cart where the lots were displayed was covered by a red curtain, and auction houses on the mainland generally distinguished the value of the auction items according to the color of the soul ring.
Covered by a red curtain, it means that the lot has reached the rarest level of 100,000-year soul rings. Not to mention that it is also related to soul guides, this level of lot is enough to arouse enough interest among the people of the Sun and Moon Clan
The item was slowly carried to the center of the auction table by the two auction house staff, Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly released the spiritual detection attached to his first soul ring.
Ever since he had the Simulated Soul Technique, his spirit detection had become even more hidden. As long as he doesn't want to, he can hide all his soul rings, and they won't appear at all when he uses soul skills.
Just after Huo Yuhao's spiritual power quietly penetrated the red cloth and landed on the things inside, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the stage, the elegant auctioneer has already begun to introduce.
"Everyone must be wondering what this mysterious gift is. It's not too early, and Qingya has never sold off. This mysterious gift can be regarded as the most ordinary but also the most inseparable close friend for the soul master. A must for every soul master.
Today, however, our last lot is completely different. It's not a soul guide, which is why I'm saying it shouldn't be here. However, it has too close a relationship with the soul master.
One last word before I lift the veil. With its value and rarity, it is able to be listed in the top auction of our Starlight Auction House. Everyone, please take a look. ”
At the moment when the cloth was lifted, everyone's eyes were invariably attracted to the past. The dazzling brilliance or peerless brilliance that everyone expected did not appear.
What appeared was just an ordinary-looking item that could no longer be ordinary, as Qingya said, it was something that any soul master was familiar with and must be indispensable.
The reason why the cloth was so tall was not because of the size of the lot itself, but because it was carried by a display table, and the volume under the cloth was naturally that display table.
The lot itself is very small, about half a foot long, only the thickness of a finger. From the bottom to the top, it is a change from wide to narrow, with a sharp tip at the top and a sharp blade about half an inch wide at the bottom.
The overall body of the knife appears simple and dark, and there are faint decorations engraved on it, exuding a faint and clumsy atmosphere. But it's a little depressing.
Many bidders sighed in dissatisfaction,
Obviously, they didn't think that this mysterious gift had brought them any surprise.
But the pupils of the Sun and Moon Clan's team were rapidly contracting, and the appearance of this item shocked them.
Graver. Yes, this is the carving knife that the Soul Master used to inscribe the core circle. Both sections of the carving knife have a purpose, and when inscribed with different circles, their uses are also different.
Any soul master is indispensable to a carving knife, which is a necessity for making a soul guide.
Huo Yuhao also has a carving knife, which was given by Teacher Xuan, and it is also a pretty good carving knife, sharp, hard, and stable, which is very suitable for him to use.
Qing Ya's voice sounded in a voice of dissatisfaction, "Presumably some VIPs have been deceived by its appearance. Well, I can only tell you with regret that you are wrong. Missing out on this mysterious gift will be the biggest mistake of your life.
Now, let me introduce you to this seemingly ordinary, but by no means ordinary, carving knife......
"The carving knife is a must-have for all soul masters. And a good carving knife is the most important existence for achieving a high-level soul master. The handle that you see in front of your eyes can no longer be described simply by this word. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a peerless carving knife.
In the world of the soul master, the carving knife also has a ranking. Almost all of the top-level carving knives are in the hands of top-level soul masters. You've probably heard of the phrase "Listing Knife". That is, it means to be able to climb the carving knife rankings. ”
"On the ranking of our Douluo Continent's carving knives, there are only a total of the top 100 carving knives, and unfortunately, more than two-thirds of them are in the Sun and Moon Empire.
This is also one of the important reasons why there are so many soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire and so powerful. And what you see before you is one of the top 100 knives, which is what I just said. ”
As soon as the words "Liebang carving knife" were said, the audience was in an uproar, and the previous sighs had all disappeared.
The Sun and Moon Clan's side.
While listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Ma Lao said to the team members around him: "I probably know which carving knife this is, don't think about it, this is not a treasure, but a deadly poison with a sweet appearance!" ”
"Why? Ma Lao, is this carving knife dangerous? Xiao Hongchen, who has always been proud, became interested after listening to Ma Lao's introduction.
"Xiao Hongchen, if you are busy carving the core of the soul guide array every day, if you have a problem with your brain, just say it, don't tell me, the dean didn't teach you which of the carving knives in the list can't be touched!" Ma Lao said a little angrily.
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Hongchen silently shut up as if he remembered something.
After Ma Lao's reminder, everyone seems to understand something......
"The Soul Devouring Carving Knife, the starting price is 100,000 gold soul coins, and the price increase is not less than 5,000 gold soul coins each time. Guests are ready to start bidding. ”
Qingya said with a smile. Actually, she's not excited at all right now. Based on her nearly ten years of experience as an auctioneer, it can be seen from the following reactions that this Soul Devouring Murder Knife may be sold again.
In fact, after the Soul Eater first came to the Starlight Auction, it originally appeared at the top auction. The initial price was not 100,000, but 300,000 gold soul coins. The knife was inadvertently acquired by Starlight Auctions. In any case, it is a list of carving knives!
But who knows, its reputation is so strong that none of those high-ranking dignitaries want to own it. Not even as a collector's item.
Just ask, who would dare to risk the soul of an evil soul master by their side to collect it?
The history of the Soul Eater can be described as ferocious. No one, including the owner who created it, has ever lived more than ten years since they got it.
Therefore, although it is more than 3,000 years old, it has been sealed in dust most of the time.
The owner of the Starlight Auction had no choice but to let it appear frequently at some auctions, and promised the auctioneers below that whoever could sell the devourer would get one percent of the total amount as a commission.
However, it backfired, and after more than a dozen auctions, the final result was never satisfactory, which also made the starting price drop again and again, and it was almost close to the cost price at which Starlight Auction House acquired it.
If you don't buy it, you don't buy it. Originally, Qingya didn't have much hope on this carving knife.
At this moment, suddenly, a somewhat immature-sounding voice sounded in the audience, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins." ”
A sign was also raised abruptly. It reads the number one hundred and thirty-three.
Qingya was stunned for a moment, this was the first time that someone had bid since the Spirit Devouring Knife appeared in the Starlight Auction! After a brief moment of surprise, her whole body was filled with surprise.
You know, one percent of the commission is a thousand gold soul coins! Even if you squander the flowers, it will take you a few years. She usually hosts an auction, and it is very good to have dozens to a hundred gold soul coins.
After all, she is only a purple-level auctioneer. If you can auction off the Soul Devouring Knife, you may be able to upgrade to the black level and preside over a higher-level auction.
For a while, Qingya was so surprised that she forgot to answer.
"I'll give out 100,000 gold soul coins." The slightly immature voice sounded again.
"Ahh Okay, VIP No. 133 gave out 100,000 gold soul coins. Are there any other VIPs who have made any more bids? Qingya came to her senses and hurriedly responded. Moreover, her heart immediately increased her hope, and with the first bidder, maybe there would be a second one? Even if she only adds 5,000, her income will increase by 50 gold soul coins......
But unfortunately, there is no second person to bid......
The person who made this bid was Huo Yuhao.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's bid, everyone was also taken aback, Ma Lao just reminded everyone not to be greedy, why did Huo Yuhao make a bid?
"Yuhao, didn't you hear what I said? I said, it's not a good thing! Ma Lao frowned slightly, not angry and arrogant.
Huo Yuhao leaned over and said to Ma Lao: "Ma Lao, through the probe just now, I can feel the problem with this Spirit Devouring Murder Knife.
I have a way to counter its ills and shoot it down. If I'm not mistaken, with my spiritual power and the attributes of Extreme Ice, I will be able to clean up the remaining curses in it, and there will be no problem. ”
Ma Lao frowned slightly, and said, "Yuhao, this is not a trivial matter!" There is no shortage of records in the empire that have users of this carving knife, and the major masters have not tried to solve its problems, but in the end, they all died without a problem, are you sure that you can remove the curse under the soul devouring knife with your ultimate attributes? ”
Huo Yuhao pondered for a while, and then said, "Old Ma, don't you think this will work."
We'll take a picture of it first, and then I won't use it, and when we get back to the academy, I'll ask Mr. Xuan to witness me remove the curse from this carving knife.
After resolving the curse on this Soul Eater, I'll use it again to make sure the curse is gone.
If I can't make the curse go away, I'll give it up and let it sit in the dust. I will definitely return this money to the college in the future. ”
Hearing him say this, Ma Lao's face also softened, and he was obviously a little tempted. The carved knife on the list only sold for 100,000 gold soul coins. Although this carving knife is very problematic, once what Huo Yuhao said is true, he can really let this carving knife be used. Well, this is a big leak!
