"I know. My grandfather introduced me to the Ranking Carving Knife. I also know about this Soul Devouring Carving Knife. But I am a soul guide. I can't give up the desire to collect a Ranking Carving Knife."
Lei Zhen wanted to persuade him again.
Su Ming raised his hand.
"Don't worry, Elder. I know my limits. I won't use this carving knife. I have another one at home that can be used to carve lists."
Well.
Lei Zhen was about to retort with "How could you resist trying such a good carving knife?" but he got stuck.
Oh~
It turns out that there is a knife for carving lists at home.
Qianqian was also shocked when she heard this.
It would be a great thing if you had a knife for carving lists at home.
There are only about one hundred engraving knives on the list in the past few thousand years, and most of them are listed as collectibles or lost. There are only about twenty engraving knives in use on the mainland, and this young man actually has one at home!
She didn't try to persuade him any further.
The reason for persuading them is that they are worried that the forces behind the other party will cause trouble in the future.
They were actually happy that this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife could be auctioned off, as it would no longer rot in their hands.
"The auction has begun."
Su Ming looked at the soul guide screen in the box.
On the screen, a girl in palace dress slowly walked onto the stage, drawing cheers from the audience.
Qianqian was also very surprised.
"It's actually Princess Jiujiu!"
"Dear guests, welcome to our Starlight Auction. We have just received a batch of extremely high-quality rare metals, which will be added to the finale of today's auction. We have wasted some time on the arrangements, and we apologize for keeping you waiting."
Jiujiu spoke out the prepared speech.
Although she said this, she actually meant that she attended the event specifically because of this extra batch of rare metals.
The audience was shocked and confused. They couldn't imagine what kind of rare metal would make Jiujiu say this. He revealed the news at the beginning without worrying about delaying the bidding for other items.
However, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not figure out how a simple rare metal could be auctioned as the finale.
"Okay, now let's have today's first auction item: a soul bone from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!"
"Although this soul bone has some flaws."
Su Ming was not interested in the previous items.
After waiting for about three hours, it was finally time for the finale item to be auctioned.
"Before auctioning this item, I would like to explain to everyone here." Jiujiu informed everyone present of the Soul Devouring Carving Knife's shortcomings before announcing its auction information: "The Soul Devouring Carving Knife has a starting price of 100,000 Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 Gold Soul Coins."
One hundred thousand gold soul coins?
Everyone present was in low spirits.
No fool would be fooled by spending 100,000 gold soul coins to buy a carving knife that would endanger his own life and had evil methods left by an evil soul master.
"One hundred thousand gold soul coins."
Su Ming quoted the price calmly.
He gestured to Qianqian to go up and operate it.
When his box participated in the guessing game and the amount of 100,000 gold soul coins appeared on the screen, the whole audience fell silent.
Jiujiu also looked at the box where Su Ming was in confusion.
She remembered that this box was allocated to the guest who brought the spiritual metal. How could he want the Soul-Devouring Knife?
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, but she did not forget her duties. She continued to ask questions and counted to three.
"Three, two, one, deal!"
Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief.
She asked someone to take the Soul-Devouring Knife away and hand it to Su Ming.
"Next, we're going to focus on the main attraction of this auction, and also the surprise of this auction." Jiujiu quickly adjusted his mood and said in an excited tone, "What I want to tell you is that the rare metals auctioned this time will be unprecedented!"
"Everyone knows that rare metals come in different qualities, and different types of rare metals have their own unique properties. However, few people know that in some unique environments, unique metals can be produced. These metals have a hint of spirituality and may become soul beasts under the influence of nature."
"However, the path to becoming a soul beast is difficult. The conditions required are too harsh. How could the natural environment remain undamaged for thousands of years? Therefore, blacksmiths forge these metals to guide the spiritual growth within them. These metals rich in spirituality are called spiritual metals."
Spiritual metal?
Most people present were hearing about this concept for the first time.
"If the spiritual metal has enough opportunities, it can continue to transform into a true soul beast. Of course, this is not the main point. What is important is that the spiritual metal can resonate better with the soul master, can accommodate the soul power circulation without obstacles, and the internal spirituality can also be integrated into the soul master, directly amplifying the soul master's martial spirit."
"Today, the rare metal we are auctioning is a spiritual metal with spiritual properties far exceeding those recorded in historical records!"
Box No. 1.
Lin Huiqun frowned and stared at the spiritual metal that slowly appeared on the exhibition stand.
Shrek has records of spiritual metals, but the spirituality of any recorded spiritual metal cannot reach the level of the spiritual metal in front of it.
"Everyone, I believe that even if you didn't understand it before, you can now feel this spirituality. We have tested it and found that this piece of metal can perfectly integrate with the martial spirits of some spirit masters with matching characteristics. If it is made into a spirit guide, it will be like directly wearing a spirit guide for your own martial spirit. All the amplifications it provides will directly amplify the martial spirit."
Xu Jiujiu's words carried a hint of magic, tempting the audience to breathe rapidly.
"We also don't rule out the possibility that this spiritual metal can guide the benign mutation of the martial soul under long-term resonance."
As soon as she said this, it caused a huge uproar.
"Princess Jiujiu, please announce how this piece of spiritual metal will be auctioned off."
"Spiritual Sunken Silver, widely applicable, starting price 200,000 Gold Soul Coins, each bid must not be less than 5,000."
As soon as Xu Jiujiu's voice fell, he heard quotes one after another, which quickly soared from 200,000 to 400,000!
In box number one, a disciple next to Lin Huiqun looked a little anxious.
"Mr. Lin, is there something wrong with what Princess Jiujiu said?"
"No problem. This piece of metal is full of spiritual energy. If it can really fuse and resonate with the soul master for a long time, it is very likely to guide the soul master's martial soul to undergo a small evolution." Lin Huiqun said.
"Then why don't you take action, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Huiqun smiled bitterly.
"Don't you see how fierce the competition is right now? Let's wait until the frequency of their offers decreases."
After 500,000 gold soul coins, the bidding became less frequent, with only a dozen or so companies still competing.
When the price reached 700,000 Gold Soul Coins, only three companies were still making bids.
At this time, Lin Huiqun quoted a price of 900,000.
He looked at Box No. 1 for a long time and was slightly surprised.
Of course she knew who was sitting in box number one.
Since she has taken action, the results of her own auction house's inspection are beyond doubt.
It really has the effect of promoting evolution!
She was excited and immediately signaled the royal family to participate in the subsequent competition.
It's not about raising the price, it's simply about keeping a piece in the hands of the Xingluo royal family.
The next item to be auctioned was not spiritual metal, but one of the original finale items, a level seven soul guide cannon.
As soon as the Youling Chenyin was auctioned off, Jiujiu had it sent to Box No. 1.
After the seventh-level soul guide cannon, there was another top-grade soul bone. The auction of the two items lasted for ten minutes, and she did not receive any negative comments from Box No. 1.
At this point, she thought to herself that she was safe.
Xu Jiujiu smiled and looked around the audience.
Someone below thought the auction was about to end, and someone hurriedly asked a question.
"Princess Jiujiu, are there any other treasures like the Spiritual Sunken Silver that are simple and can cause benign mutations in martial spirits?"
"Yes, worthy guest, we do. Our auction house has prepared nine pieces of spiritual metal like this!"
The man standing before you is Tang Ming, the real man who holds many titles including Life Douluo, the only member of the Holy Spirit Church, the most powerful Lord of the Sea God Pavilion in history, the greatest Lord of the Tang Sect, the sun of the Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, the light in the life of the Child of Destiny, the Supreme Lord of the Spirit Pagoda, and the Goddess of Life!
