"Brother Yuhao, this soul-guiding weapon contains a piece of Ba Hu soul bone that was slightly flawed. Before being made into a soul-guiding weapon, it had some damage — this is one of the main reasons its value is affected."
"However, the level-8 soul smith who crafted it removed all the defects during production. If this soul bone had been intact, the blade's power might have been slightly higher, and its value would at least double."
Qingya explained everything carefully to Huo Yuhao, making sure he understood it thoroughly.
Following her advice, Huo Yuhao finally won the Ba Hu Soul Refining Blade at a price of 1,600,000 gold soul coins.
The price held steady for a full minute — the auction was officially over.
Golden lights erupted in the room like fireworks, signaling the successful bid.
With the first item concluded, Princess Jiujiu, in her flowing red gown, appeared once more on the screen, offering a graceful, charming bow.
"Thank you to the honored guest who successfully bid for the Ba Hu Soul Refining Blade and supported today's auction."
"Now, let us begin the second item! Although these are consumables, they are extremely rare. Collecting a full set is no easy task — esteemed guests, please take a look."
The soul-guiding screen shifted again. This time, the entire wall split into twelve sections, each displaying similar-looking items.
They were cylindrical — one end tapered into a point, the other flat.
Identical in shape, the only difference was the color, seemingly forged from different metals.
These were calibrated soul-guided cannon shells.
Shrek's students weren't interested, so Wang Yan bought them for research at the academy.
After that, no one bid on the next few items.
Five items followed consecutively: a left arm bone, a right arm bone, a left leg bone, an extremely rare metal, and a level-8 ranged soul-guiding weapon.
Aside from the first two items, each subsequent one was increasingly expensive. Since they weren't particularly enticing, everyone remained silent.
Auctioneer Qingya didn't rush anyone, explaining each item thoroughly and fairly.
Princess Jiujiu appeared on the screen for the eighth time.
"The next two items are the highlights of today. I believe our esteemed guests will be interested."
The screen flashed — a soul bone, magnified countless times, appeared.
It was a left arm soul bone, glowing a brilliant jade-green, with the light flowing and rippling as if containing a liquid core.
A faint white mist hovered above the surface.
Due to the magnification, its uniqueness was obvious. Tiny crystal-like structures dotted the green surface, sparkling like gemstones. Compared to earlier soul bones, it was on an entirely different level.
Even the Golden Light Left Arm Bone that Wang Dong once acquired paled in comparison.
"Bastard!"
At that moment, Huo Yuhao felt a sudden, sharp pain in one part of his body.
As he eased the discomfort, Princess Jiujiu's voice rang again — deeper and more alluring than before, more captivating and seductive.
"Esteemed guests, I am honored to introduce the next soul bone."
"This soul bone is one of the finest we've found at the Starlight Auction in recent years. Initially, we planned only to keep it in our collection, not put it up for auction, due to its extreme rarity."
"However, due to a flaw, we ultimately chose to auction it."
"The primary drawback is its attribute restriction. Most soul bones can be used by any soul master, with soul skills adapting to different martial souls. Even ten-thousand-year-old soul bones follow this principle."
"Some exceptional soul bones, however, have specific attribute requirements. A soul master without the matching attribute cannot fuse with it — forcing fusion could injure or even endanger the soul master."
"This eighth item is such a bone: only ice-attribute soul masters can use it."
Princess Jiujiu's words lingered longer than before, her voice melodic and expressive, naturally drawing everyone's attention.
"Ice-attribute restriction alone is already demanding — ice soul masters are extremely rare."
"Moreover, this soul bone has a second flaw: its soul skill is fixed."
"Through extensive testing and verification by soul bone experts, this left arm bone's skill has been solidified. No matter the ice-attribute martial soul it fuses with, the skill cannot change, which limits its flexibility."
"The final flaw is its age: between 50,000 and 70,000 years."
"Precisely because of these flaws, we decided to auction it."
"Having explained the flaws, I shall now speak of its advantages." Princess Jiujiu's tone softened, sincere and captivating.
"This soul bone is one of the most naturally gifted I've ever seen. Its rarity rivals even a ten-thousand-year soul bone."
"It is not from any nation on our continent, but from humanity's forbidden land — the extreme northern region, perhaps the very core of the north. Its original soul beast is a top-tier, dominant creature of the icy wastes: the Ice Jade Scorpion!"
The moment she uttered the words Ice Jade Scorpion, all eyes in the room instantly focused on Huo Yuhao.
Everyone knew what his second martial soul was — and this bone perfectly matched it.
Undoubtedly, if Huo Yuhao acquired this bone, the compatibility would be flawless.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao gently comforted Bingdi, who had grown into an adult soul beast.
"Alright, Bing'er, let go for now. If you press any harder, you'll lose your future happiness!"
