Chapter 19: Pay-to-Win Cultivation, Boundless Magic Power! (Please recommend and add to your favorites~)

Upon hearing the auctioneer's warm-up introduction, Huo Yuhao was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Nannan? It's actually her?"

According to the original novel, Jiang Nannan came from a poor family, so she was quite greedy from a young age, comparable to Huo Gua in the early stages. Unexpectedly, as the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard, she has now become an auctioneer at the Treasure Pavilion?
Well, with her looks, this job is indeed very suitable for her. This plot development is reasonable!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's surprised expression, Fan Yu said disdainfully, "Judging from your expression, you seem to know her? Humph! You're so young and you already have the nature of a scumbag. You may not know anything else, but you're very familiar with the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard."

Huo Yuhao: "."

As a spoiler-loving player, am I not allowed to comment on the new storyline?

Under Jiang Nannan's sweet smile and melodious encouragement, the auction proceeded smoothly. Rare natural treasures and exquisitely crafted soul tools were continuously auctioned off, and the atmosphere gradually became more and more heated.

"The next item in this auction may be something that none of the distinguished guests here have ever seen before. Even I had never heard of it before receiving the auction notice today. It is astonishing that such a wonderful thing exists."

Jiang Nannan's eyes sparkled, and with a smile on her face, she noticed the curiosity in the eyes of the many participants. She turned her long legs around and made way for a cart covered by a black cloth behind her.

"This is the latest research result of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire: a Soul Ring Storage Soul Guidance Device!"

With a "whoosh," Jiang Nannan pulled back the black cloth, revealing a cylinder about 30 centimeters long to everyone!
The cylinder was made of some strange metal and some translucent material, and it reflected a dazzling silver light under the spotlight.

The most captivating feature is the constantly fluctuating and shifting black light inside, with tiny arcs of electricity flickering across it. The black light floats up and down within the container, sometimes even transforming into the shape of a bird.

Jiang Nannan smiled and said, "As we all know, a spirit ring is the most important cultivation resource for a spirit master to grow and advance, and the higher the age of the spirit ring, the stronger the boost to the spirit master's strength."

"However, since ancient times, every soul master who wants to obtain a soul ring must kill the soul beast with their own hands. Even if they can find a strong person to help them hunt the soul beast, they must be by the side at all times. They cannot let others do it for them, nor can they take the soul ring of the dead soul beast away."

"And this Martial Soul Storage Box is a groundbreaking product! I believe you can guess its purpose from its name. It contains the soul ring of a 20,000-year-old mutated soul beast, the Dark Demon Lightning Bird! Moreover, it can be absorbed by anyone!" Jiang Nannan's eyes flashed, and her voice instantly became louder.

"I don't need to explain how much a ten-thousand-year spirit ring can boost a spirit master's strength. Moreover, this newly developed spirit ring storage device is already at level 7. Although it's for one-time use, it has extremely high research value. Don't miss this opportunity!"

"Starting bid: 1 million gold soul coins. Each bid must be at least 10,000 gold soul coins. Please place your bids, esteemed guests."

As Jiang Nannan introduced it, gasps of surprise erupted from below. This thing was a real treasure for the scions of powerful families!

"102 million!"

"105 million!"

"107 million!"

Hearing the ever-increasing price, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched.

Holy crap, are there really this many pay-to-win players? Spending millions of gold soul coins all the time?! You have to understand, based on the purchasing power of gold soul coins in this world, an average family of three would only spend a dozen or twenty gold soul coins on food, clothing, housing, and transportation for a whole year.

As expected of someone who pays to cultivate immortality, their magical power is boundless!
"Teacher, even if it's a mutated ten-thousand-year soul ring, the price is still..." Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then turned to ask.

Fan Yu smiled slightly and replied, "Ordinary ten-thousand-year soul rings are priced at only tens to hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. This Dark Demon Lightning Bird, after mutation, has become a rare soul beast with both lightning and darkness attributes. However, because it has high requirements for the fusion user, its value is estimated at six or seven hundred thousand gold soul coins. But this soul tool itself, hey! A new achievement produced by Mingde Hall, its research value is much more valuable than this soul ring for some major forces."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered, as if he had realized something: "So, what about Dean Qian and Dean Xian?"

Fan Yu nodded with a smile. With the wealthy man by her side, what did money matter?

"150 million gold soul coins." Fan Yu picked up the soul guide auction device and immediately raised the price to 150 million!
The auction hall fell silent for a moment after the price was announced.

"160 gold soul coins."

Seemingly taken aback by Fan Yu's wealth and power, it took a while before anyone else followed up with a bid.

"Two million gold soul coins." Fan Yu said calmly.

Even the best level 7 soul tool is only worth around 1 million at most. Even with the 20,000-year mutated soul ring inside, the price is still clearly a loss.

But according to Qian Duoduo, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department is so poor that all they have left is money. If the merchant group from the Sun Moon Empire hadn't been unwilling to sell directly to Shrek Academy openly, this stuff would have been secretly acquired long ago, instead of waiting until now.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Jiang Nannan, her face flushed, began to announce the price: "200 million gold soul coins once! 200 million gold soul coins twice! 200 million gold soul coins three times! Sold! Congratulations to the VIP in room 207!"

With the dust settled, Fan Yu nodded in satisfaction, handed a black soul coin storage card to Bai Youshou who had come in, and told him to swipe it to collect the goods. He then turned to Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, after you go back tonight, absorb this soul ring and advance to the Soul Master level. As for this soul tool, I will study it in seclusion with Dean Qian and Dean Xian later."

"You've almost finished learning the theory of soul tools. What you lack is practice. Once you advance to Soul Master, with the aid of your Sharingan, I believe making a level three soul tool will be no problem for you. After we finish this research, I hope to see you make that level four soul tool called the shotgun."

"Yes, teacher." Huo Yuhao nodded calmly.

As his Soul Master level increased, he felt that the power of the Desert Eagle was no longer sufficient. At least when he sparred with Ma Xiaotao, the power of the Desert Eagle could no longer pose a significant threat to Ma Xiaotao. It was time to upgrade his equipment.

With the support of a spirit-attribute martial soul, the most difficult part of soul tool making—the inscription of the core magic array—was not actually difficult for him. In addition, with the advantage brought by his previous professional expertise, there were no major problems in the creation of the inner and outer shells and the selection of metal materials. As long as the kinetic energy form of gunpowder was changed to soul power kinetic energy, this kind of close-range, large-area, high-power soul tool would be very suitable for him to use at the Soul Master realm.

If you fill it with bullets that have armor-piercing effects, its power is equivalent to a simplified version of a level 5 fixed-position soul tool. Even a soul master at the level of a six-ring soul emperor would suffer a great loss if he is not careful!
