Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 188 Seventh Level Soul Guidance Device, Phantom Mask
Auction House.

The door of the auction house is semicircular, and like the entire building of the auction house, it is milky white. There are four tall girls standing in front of the door.

These girls have obviously been carefully selected. Not only are they all about meters tall, but they are also extremely well-proportioned. Although they are not stunningly beautiful, their good looks are still very attractive. They look like they are no more than twenty years old.

Wearing a floor-length skirt, even their arms were covered, not exposing any more skin, but the skirt was very close to the body and fully outlined their graceful curves.

Seeing Wu Xuan approaching, one of the four girls took three steps forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wu Xuan said, "I need to buy some high-level soul guides. Please guide me."

The girl was a bit stunned. Although she didn't look down on Wu Xuan because of his age, it was the first time she had seen such a young customer want to buy a high-level soul guide. The girl said, "Sir, may I ask what your budget is?"

Wu Xuan frowned slightly, "Why? Is it so troublesome to come to your Aodu Auction House to buy something?"

Hearing the displeasure in Wu Xuan's words, the young woman quickly said, "Sir, you've misunderstood. You're too young and promising to make an accurate assessment of your abilities. For guests like you, our Aodu Chamber of Commerce has several different levels of reception standards, with the entry threshold being one thousand gold soul coins. In other words, you'll need proof of at least one thousand gold soul coins in cash to be accepted into our Aodu Chamber of Commerce. This is to provide better service to customers of all walks of life."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan pointed to the storage soul guide on his wrist, and more than twenty gold cards appeared when he spread his hands.

A Gold Soul Coin savings card can store up to 10,000 Gold Soul Coins. Wu Xuan casually took out more than 20 cards, which was enough to prove his huge assets.

The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly made a gesture of invitation, "Please follow me, sir." As she spoke, she took small steps and walked towards the auction hall.

Walking into the auction house, it didn't feel magnificent. The floor was milky white marble, and the surrounding walls were decorated with various soul guides. Although the lighting soul guides were not colorful, they looked simple, bright, and extremely elegant.

In addition to the lights, there were also some display windows built against the wall. Inside were displayed various strange soul guides. If Wu Xuan didn't know what this place was for, he would probably have thought it was a soul guide museum.

The young woman leading the way was very professional. She would stop every ten steps or so, gesture a "please" and accurately point the way. She led Wu Xuan to a room next to the hall with the words "Reception Room" hanging on the wall.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing golden glasses and looking like a manager pushed the door open and walked in. "Sir, I am the owner of the Aodu Auction House. May I ask what I can do for you?"

Wu Xuan put down his teacup and said calmly, "I'll cut to the chase. The shopkeeper needs at least a level six auxiliary soul guide that can conceal the face, and a high-aged secret soul bone with fusion properties. Preferably from a lion or eagle soul beast."

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will arrange it for you right away. We in Aodu Chamber of Commerce are absolutely fair and honest, but I am not sure about the quality of the secret soul bones in our inventory. How about I take them out to the customer to see if they meet your expectations and then make a decision?" The middle-aged man said respectfully.

"Well! As long as it meets my expectations, price is not a problem." Wu Xuan took a sip of tea and said lightly.

The middle-aged manager looked slightly happy and walked out of the reception room quickly.

The secret method soul bone was first developed by the Sun-Moon Empire. Because the soul beast resources in the Sun-Moon Empire were far inferior to those in the original Douluo Continent, it was difficult to obtain high-quality soul bones. This is where the secret method soul bone was born.

Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since the middle-aged steward left and returned. When he returned to the VIP room, the young woman who had led the way entered, carrying a tray containing two sealed metal boxes and an invitation. The middle-aged steward personally opened one of the boxes, revealing a transparent white film, as thin as paper, with what appeared to be a fluid flowing through it.

"Please look, sir. This is a seventh-level soul guide, the Phantom Mask. It's crafted from the crystal core of a ten-thousand-year-old phantom fox's head and various rare metals. This soul guide is rated as a seventh-level soul guide because its greatest function is to change the appearance of the human head. Before wearing it, simply imagine the desired appearance within your spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and the transformation will occur instantly. Even a Titled Douluo-level expert wouldn't be able to detect the altered appearance."

"But this soul guide also has its drawbacks. It is extremely mentally taxing. After wearing it, it becomes difficult for the average person to use other auxiliary soul guides. Moreover, this soul guide cannot conceal auras. Anyone familiar with it can tell by the aura."

"These are the advantages and disadvantages of the Phantom Mask. The price is six hundred thousand gold soul coins. What do you think, sir?" The middle-aged steward looked at Wu Xuan with a hint of trepidation. This soul guide was truly worthless, having been sitting at their Aodu Auction House for over two years. He was just trying his luck with introducing it to Wu Xuan. If it didn't work out, he had another sixth-level soul guide he could recommend.

"Great! I want this soul guide." Wu Xuan took out six gold cards with a face value of 100,000 and handed them to the manager, then put away the metal box.

The middle-aged manager was instantly overjoyed when he received the gold card.

Then he couldn't wait to open another metal box on the side, and a small soul bone appeared in front of Wu Xuan.

"Please look, sir. This is the left leg bone of a Mystic Soul. I'm sure you know the origin of Mystic Soul Bones. If you kill one hundred soul beasts of any kind within half an hour and use mystical techniques to activate them, there's a ten percent chance of obtaining a Mystic Soul Bone."

"This Mystic Soul's left leg bone was taken from a spirit beast called the Golden Lion. Mystic Soul Bones have limitations compared to traditional spirit bones. The attached spirit skills must be basic amplification skills. I believe you are aware of this."

"The soul skill that comes with this soul bone is soul power amplification, and the amplification effect is about 10%."

When Wu Xuan heard that it was only 10%, he was immediately disappointed. During the two years he studied with Master Mu, Master Mu also explained the basic information of this secret soul bone to Wu Xuan in detail.

Just as the middle-aged steward said, the quality of the secret method soul bones was far lower than the soul bones obtained by hunting soul beasts normally, even when comparing the thousand-year secret method soul bones with the most common hundred-year soul bones.

The soul skills that come with the secret soul bones will only be amplification soul skills, similar to the amplification of strength, attack, defense, speed and soul power.

Such spirit skills are very common. Whether it is the owner of a weapon spirit or a beast spirit, many will add such an amplification spirit skill that fits their own spirit when choosing their first spirit ring.

Just like Qiangu Ming's first soul skill, the Flame Tyrant Body, although it is a weapon soul, it greatly enhances its own flame intensity and defense. A rough observation shows that it will not be less than 50%.

Taking Nanmen Yuner as an example, her Jade Bluebird spirit wasn't considered a top-tier beast spirit, but rather a high-level spirit. The age difference between their first spirit rings wasn't huge, but Nanmen Yuner's first spirit skill didn't improve her as much as Qiangu Ming's.

When both arms are transformed into jade blades, the increase in speed is estimated to be only about 40%.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of top-level martial souls and non-top-level martial souls in terms of soul skills.

This clearly showed that the quality of the Mystic Soul's left leg bone was truly low. The accompanying soul skill's effects were only comparable to those of a ten-year soul skill, far from meeting Wu Xuan's expectations.
