Xingluo City.
Because of the Starlight Auction, many people from powerful forces have gathered in Xingluo City recently.
Medium-sized auctions are rare, and all major forces and even Shrek Academy will come when they know there is an auction. After all, no one would complain about not having enough good things.
Su Ming had been waiting here for almost six months since arriving in Xingluo City. Huo Yuhao had not yet left the Duke's Mansion, and the auction was about to begin today.
Elders Lei Zhen and Bayi also arrived at Xingluo City.
Starlight Auction House.
"Where's your manager? I have something to auction."
auction?
Soon, a staff member led Su Ming and the other two to a private room.
"Three distinguished guests, please wait a moment. We have already notified the manager."
The two elders, Bayi and Lei Zhen, did not deliberately restrain their auras. The subtle soul pressure from them showed that they were not ordinary people. The reception staff certainly did not dare to neglect them.
After just three minutes of waiting, the auction house manager arrived.
"Hello, three distinguished guests, what treasures would you like to auction at our auction house?"
Su Ming took out a piece of thousand-forged first-grade sunken silver and placed it on the table.
Rare metals?
Of course the manager didn't believe it.
He carefully observed the sunken silver that Su Ming took out.
"Does this distinguished guest mind my close contact?"
"No problem."
After getting Su Ming's consent, the manager took the Thousand Forged First Grade Sunken Silver in his hand and his face changed drastically.
He took a deep breath, held it, and carefully extended his soul power.
"Could this be the legendary spiritual metal?"
Su Ming nodded, confirming the manager's guess.
The manager took another deep breath and continued to carefully explore the piece of sunken silver with his soul power. He used his soul power to communicate with the spirituality inside and could sense the abundant spiritual energy.
hiss~
The more he examined, the more frightened he became.
Apart from the blacksmith, very few people knew the name of spiritual metals. He was responsible for identification, so he knew about different metals and occasionally learned about spiritual metals, but the information he knew about spiritual metals did not contain such exaggerated spiritual descriptions.
To what extent is the spirituality contained in this piece of sunken silver exaggerated?
Without the soul power of a soul master, the spiritual energy inside the two fist-sized pieces of sunken silver is enough to build a core magic array of the sixth-level soul guide level!
What a rich spirituality this is!
The manager took a deep breath and looked up at Su Ming.
"This piece of spiritual metal you brought out is incredibly incredible. Are you planning to auction it at this auction? If there's no urgency, we suggest you hold it off at the next major auction."
"No, let's auction it at this auction."
Su Ming then took out another eight pieces of spiritual metal forged from other rare metals.
"Let's auction these eight pieces together."
The manager's eyes widened.
What the hell?
He actually took out nine pieces of spiritual metal that was so spiritual that even the slightly exaggerated legends in the book could not reach its level?
The manager's eyes grew heavy.
If you buy one piece, it's a rare treasure.
But when nine pieces appeared at the same time, the manager realized something was unusual.
He looked down at the nine pieces of peerless spiritual metal on the table, his mind racing.
"Why? Can't it be auctioned?" Su Ming asked when he saw that he was slow to answer.
"Since you have requested this, our Starlight Auction House will naturally arrange it. These nine pieces of spiritual metal are all top-grade, and their value may be no less than that of top-grade spirit bones. It would be a pity to put them in an auction of this scale."
As he spoke, he secretly observed Su Ming's expression and found that Su Ming did not show any regret.
"The customers of this auction are all here for the medium-sized auction. The gold soul coins they prepared may not necessarily get the best price for the nine pieces of spiritual metal, so I hope you can allow me to sell the nine pieces of spiritual metal separately."
separate?
This is exactly what Su Ming wants.
He hummed and agreed with the other party.
"I'll have someone arrange it right away!"
The manager put all nine pieces of spiritual metal into the storage soul guide and handed it to a staff member, asking him to go and make arrangements quickly. Then he personally took Su Ming and the other two out of the room and walked towards a private room.
"This is our auctioneer, Qianqian. If you have any needs, please let her know. I'll take my leave now."
The manager called over a woman with a purple nameplate on her chest, introduced her, and left.
"Is there a list for this auction?" Su Ming looked at Qianqian and asked.
"The auction items were originally not to be announced to the public, but you, VIP, have just added nine grand finale items to our auction. The manager specifically instructed me to give you the list of items for this auction."
Qianqian took out a list, which listed hundreds of items.
Su Ming's gaze went straight to the back.
This medium-sized auction only has three finale items, of course there are twelve now.
"Soul Devouring Carving Knife"
On the list, Su Ming suddenly saw the existence of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
Qianqian's expression changed slightly when she heard Su Ming mutter this name.
"Dear Sir, although this Soul Devouring Carving Knife is the finale item, it has been sold off many times. If it weren't for being a top-ranked carving knife, we wouldn't be auctioning it as the finale item."
Ba Bi, who was standing by, didn't understand and spoke directly.
"Why did the finale item fail to sell so many times?"
"In the process of a soul engineer crafting a soul guide, carving the core magic array is an essential step. Besides the soul engineer, the carving knife is also a crucial component. A truly excellent carving knife can even double a soul engineer's success rate in crafting a soul guide. Over the past thousands of years, among the countless carving knives, some have stood out, each with its own unique characteristics and special effects. A soul engineer has ranked their effects from one to one hundred and compiled a list. The knives on this list are the top carving knives, and the Soul Devouring Knife is one of them."
"However, unfortunately, although this Soul Devouring Carving Knife is powerful, it is also a dangerous blade. As far as we know, it was made by an evil soul master. I don't know what the master did when making the carving knife, but this knife will backfire on its owner. We have found a total of 37 owners in history, and all 37 of them died tragically without exception."
Qianqian's face was solemn as she described the murderous knife very clearly.
"Evil knife?" Su Ming stared at the four words "Soul-devouring Knife".
"Xiao Ming, do you want to auction this carving knife?" Lei Zhen asked.
He could see that Su Ming cared about the list engraving knife.
"Um."
Lei Zhen's face was solemn as he said, "One should be cautious with evil spirit masters' belongings. Even if they were weak in life, their abilities are terrifying. This vicious blade might not have been very powerful at first, but after thirty-seven masters, and having killed thirty-seven of them, its potential to backfire on its owner is unpredictable."
There is nothing good when it comes to evil soul masters.
These guys are just like the bugs of this world.
A living evil soul master is okay, but if the things left behind by a dead evil soul master are still developing, you have to be extremely careful.
There will be three chapters today, and then two chapters tomorrow.
Regarding the update of this book, I have to tell you in advance that it cannot be too fast, that is, it cannot be updated ten thousand times a day. After it is put on the shelves, I will try my best to maintain six days, that is, three updates a day.
It is indeed much more stressful to write from the three perspectives of the Trinity, but perhaps it is because of my previous writing habits. I am quite accustomed to this description method of constantly switching perspectives, so although it is stressful, I can accept it.
Just because I can accept it doesn't mean it will be the same as before. I can feel that there are too many things to consider when writing the Trinity, because every perspective I have to switch is the protagonist, and I have to carefully plan his growth path and every opportunity he has. The most important thing is that the timing of switching the perspectives of the three entities must be reasonable.
This means that I can't write too quickly, otherwise it will be easy for a few months to pass by while I'm excited, and the story from another time and space will easily omit key parts.
Based on this, the writing speed of this book will definitely not be the same as before. This book has performed very well, and so many brothers are reading it. I have to be responsible and cannot mess up the writing.
Even the saved drafts are the same. I'm going to put ten updates on the shelves, and I have to save at least seven of these ten updates before putting them on the shelves. So after I finish the three updates today, I have to start saving them, and I can only resume two updates for a period of time.
