Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 73 Some Some
“I know, my grandfather introduced me to the List Carving Knife, and I also know about the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, but I am a Soul Master, and I can’t lose my desire to collect a List Carving Knife.”

Lei Zhen wanted to persuade him again.

Su Ming raised his hand.

"Don't worry, Elder, I know what I'm doing. I won't use this carving knife. I have another carving knife at home."

Well.
Lei Zhen, who was about to retort with "With such a fine carving knife in hand, how can you resist trying it?", got stuck.

Oh ~
Turns out there was a list-carving knife at home.

Qianqian was also shocked upon hearing this.

Having a carving knife for displaying names at home is quite remarkable.

There are only about a hundred engraving knives listed in the past few thousand years, most of which are either listed as collectibles or lost. There are at most twenty engraving knives in use on the mainland, and this boy actually has one in his family!
She didn't try to persuade her further.

The reason for the persuasion was also out of concern that the forces behind the other party might cause trouble later.

They were actually happy that the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife could be auctioned off; at least it wouldn't be stuck in their hands anymore.

"The auction has begun."

Su Ming looked at the soul guidance screen on the private room.

On the screen, a young girl dressed in palace attire slowly walked onto the stage, eliciting cheers from the audience.

Qianqian was also very surprised.

"It's Princess Jiujiu!"

"Distinguished guests, welcome to our Starlight Auction. We have just received a batch of extremely high-quality rare metals, which will be the highlight of today's auction. We apologize for the delay in arranging this."

After a long pause, he finally delivered his prepared remarks.

Although she said that, she was actually implying that she made a special trip to attend because of this extra batch of rare metals.

The audience was astonished and puzzled, wondering what kind of rare metal could make Jiu Jiu say such a thing, revealing its information right at the beginning of the auction, without worrying about delaying the bidding for other items.

However, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't understand why a simple rare metal could be auctioned off as the final item.

"Alright, next up is our first item for today's auction: a soul bone produced by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!"

"This soul bone has some minor flaws."

Su Ming was not interested in the previous items.

After waiting for about three hours, it was finally time for the final item to be auctioned.

Before auctioning this item, I would like to explain the drawbacks of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife to everyone present. Only then did I begin to announce the auction information: "The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has a starting price of 100,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 5,000 gold soul coins higher."

100,000 Gold Soul Coins?
Everyone present showed little interest.

Buying a carving knife that could endanger one's life and contains the evil methods left behind by a wicked soul master, costing 100,000 gold soul coins, is something no fool would fall for.

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins."

Su Ming casually announced the price.

He gestured for Qianqian to go up and do it.

When his private room participated in the guessing game, and the amount of 100,000 gold soul coins appeared on the screen, the entire room fell silent.

Jiu Jiu also looked at the private room where Su Ming was with a puzzled expression.

She remembered that this private room was assigned to the guest who brought the spirit metal. How could he want the Spirit-Eating Carving Knife?

Various thoughts flashed through her mind, but she did not forget her duty. After asking again, she counted to three.

"Three, two, one, deal!"

After a long while, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She had someone take the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife down and hand it to Su Ming.

"Next, we come to the highlight of this auction, and also its biggest surprise." Jiu Jiu quickly composed herself and said in an excited tone, "I want to tell everyone that the rare metals being auctioned this time will be unprecedented!"

"Everyone knows that rare metals vary in quality, and different types of rare metals each have their own characteristics. However, few people know that in certain unique environments, some extraordinary metals can be nurtured. These metals possess a trace of spirituality and may become soul beasts under natural nurturing." "However, the path to becoming a soul beast is fraught with difficulties, and the conditions required are extremely demanding. How can a natural environment remain undamaged for thousands of years? Therefore, blacksmiths forge these metals, guiding the spirituality within them to grow. These metals, rich in spirituality, are called spiritual metals."

Spirit metal?

Most of the people present were hearing this concept for the first time.

"If the opportunity is right, spirit metal can continue to transform into a true soul beast. Of course, that's not the point. The important thing is that spirit metal can resonate better with soul masters, can accommodate the circulation of soul power without obstacles, and its internal spirituality can also be integrated into the soul master, directly amplifying the soul master's martial soul."

"Today, the rare metal we are auctioning is a spiritual metal whose spirituality far exceeds what is recorded in historical records!"

Box No. 1.

Lin Huiqun frowned, staring at the spirit metal that slowly appeared on the display stand.

Shrek has records of spirit metals, but none of the recorded spirit metals possesses the same level of spirituality as the one before them.

"Everyone, even if you didn't know about it before, you can feel its spirituality now. We have tested it, and this metal can be perfectly integrated into some Soul Master Martial Souls with compatible characteristics. If it is made into a Soul Tool, it is equivalent to directly equipping your Martial Soul with a Soul Tool, and all its amplification will directly amplify the Martial Soul."

Xu Jiujiu's words carried a hint of magic, causing the audience to gasp for breath.

"We also do not rule out the possibility that this piece of spirit metal can guide the martial soul to undergo benign mutation under long-term resonance."

Her words immediately caused a huge uproar.

"Princess Jiujiu, please announce quickly, how will this piece of spirit metal be auctioned?"

"The Spirit-infused Silver has wide applicability. The starting bid is 200,000 Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must be at least 5,000 higher."

As soon as the long voice faded, a series of bids were heard, quickly jumping from 200,000 to 400,000!

Inside the first private room, a disciple next to Lin Huiqun looked slightly anxious.

"Elder Lin, is there something wrong with what Princess Jiujiu said?"

“No problem. This piece of metal is full of spiritual energy. If it truly resonates with a Soul Master for a long time, the possibility of guiding the Soul Master’s Martial Soul to undergo a slight evolution is extremely high,” Lin Huiqun said.

"Then why haven't you made a move, Elder Lin?"

Lin Huiqun gave a wry smile.

"Can't you see how fierce the competition is right now? Let's wait until they stop quoting prices so frequently."

After the price dropped to 500,000 gold soul coins, the bidding activity decreased, with only a dozen or so companies still competing.

When the price reached 700,000 gold soul coins, only three companies were still bidding.

At this point, Lin Huiqun quoted a price of 900,000.

He stared at the number one VIP room for a long time, slightly startled.

Of course she knew who was sitting in Box Number One.

Now that she has taken action, the results of our auction house's testing are beyond question.

It really does promote evolution!
She was thrilled and immediately signaled to the royal family to participate in the subsequent competition.

It's not about raising the price; it's purely about keeping one piece in the hands of the Star Luo Royal Family.

The next item to be auctioned was not spirit metal, but one of the original final items: a level seven soul-guided cannon.

The moment the sunken treasure was auctioned off, Jiu Jiu immediately had it delivered to VIP Box No. 1.

After the level 7 soul guide cannon, there was also a top-grade soul bone. The auction of the two items lasted for ten minutes, and she did not receive any negative reviews from the number one VIP box.

At this point, she felt reassured.

After a long while, he smiled and looked around the room.

Some people below thought the auction was about to end, and someone hurriedly asked a question.

"Princess Jiujiu, are there any other treasures like the Spirit-Souling Silver that are simple enough to cause a positive mutation in a martial soul?"

"Yes, esteemed guest, yes. Our auction house has prepared a total of nine pieces of this kind of spirit metal for this occasion!"

　Standing before you is Tang Ming, a true man with numerous titles, including Life Douluo, the only member of the Holy Spirit Cult, the strongest Sea God Pavilion Master in history, the greatest Tang Sect Master, the sun of Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters, the light in the life of the Child of Destiny, the Supreme Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, and the Goddess of Life!
