Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

After completing the formalities and looking at the room, Lin Xiao arrived at the street without much rest.

With the memory of a soul master, he had already memorized everything on the map. After a while, he appeared in a busy street with shops on both sides, and many of them were specifically for soul masters.

Lin Xiao had also been to the commercial area of ​​the Sun-Moon Empire, but it was different from the Sun-Moon Empire. The things sold here were of various kinds, unlike the Sun-Moon Empire where most of the things sold were soul guides and metal materials.

Since he had finally come here, Lin Xiao looked around with great interest. In addition to some soul beast materials that could only be seen on the Douluo Continent, there were also some soul guides made by the soul masters of the Star Luo Empire.

Although the place where soul guides were sold was not as crowded as the one in the Sun-Moon Empire, it was still very lively. Lin Xiao looked through a few simple soul guide shields inside and saw how the soul guide manufacturing techniques in the Star Luo Empire differed from those in the Sun-Moon Empire.

"Boss, do you have any higher-level soul guides for sale?"

As soon as Lin Xiao opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of the shop owner.

"Sir, the highest level of soul guides we sell in this shop is only level four. Please take a look..."

"Is there a higher level?"

Higher?

The shop owner took a look at Lin Xiao. Although he looked young, he asked for a higher-level soul guide. I'm afraid his cultivation level was not simple.

For a moment, the boss's expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face became more obvious. "You must have just arrived in Xingluo City recently. You may not know that it's not just me, but other shops nearby rarely have soul guides above level four. If you need one, you can only see it at the auction ahead."

After all, it is somewhat different from the Sun and Moon Empire. In Mingdu City, the sale of sixth-level soul guides is a common thing, but here, those above level four will only appear in auctions.

"Oh." Lin Xiao suddenly realized, "Thank you for reminding me, boss. This is indeed my first time in Xingluo City."

"You're welcome, sir. If you need it, just walk down the street and you'll see the auction. However, soul guides don't appear at every auction. You can only ask the auctioneers for specific details."

"Okay, thank you boss."

Lin Xiao clasped his fists and followed the shop owner's instructions to a building. Compared with the other tall buildings around it, it was not very prominent, but looking at the hammer pattern above the main entrance, Lin Xiao still smiled.

His purpose has been here from the beginning.

However, if a person from outside the city goes straight to the auction house upon entering the city and buys some strange items, it will inevitably attract the attention of interested people, especially when the auction house has a royal background.

Therefore, it is most reasonable for someone who is interested in soul guides to come here through the "guidance" of others.

People were coming and going around, Lin Xiao mixed in with the crowd and walked towards the auction hall.

Stepping into the building, Lin Xiao raised his eyes slightly and looked around. Although he didn't see anyone here when he first entered, he still vaguely sensed a hint of hidden gazes, and it was obvious that the defense here was not as lax as it seemed on the surface.

Walk down the stairs until you reach about 20 meters, and you will see the registration area for the auction.

There were several girls in red dresses standing nearby. As each guest entered, they handed out number plates.

Looking at the crowd coming in one after another, Lin Xiao suddenly smiled.

When you come to this world, auctions are something you have to appreciate.

Chapter 108 Fame

"I'm sorry, dear guest, you won't be able to participate in the auction since this is your first time at the Starlight Auction House. We need to appraise your property."

Well, the tasting failed.

Lin Xiao didn't expect that he would be stopped, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this incident did happen in his memory. It was just that the people in his memory had special identities, so they could go in directly.

“How will you evaluate it, and approximately how long will it take?”

The girl in the red dress in front of Lin Xiao was exceptionally friendly. Although this was Lin Xiao's first time here, the fact that he was able to enter meant that he was clearly a potential customer.

"If you don't mind, please register your background and family situation. We will need about half a month to verify. If the situation is correct, you can naturally participate in the auction."

Family situation?

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes when he heard that.

If he told them the truth about the Holy Spirit Church, he would probably be arrested on the spot.

“Is there a faster way?”

"This..." The girl who was receiving Lin Xiao paused, "Excuse me, but could I ask about your cultivation level? If your cultivation level is suitable, you can directly participate in the auction."

As expected, this is ultimately a world where strength counts. Here, cultivation itself represents a kind of wealth.

"Okay, I wonder how much you want?"

"The items we auction here require at least the Soul King cultivation level to use, so only Soul Masters with a Soul Power level of 50 or above can directly enter the auction."

"Okay." Lin Xiao nodded. "Where can I test my soul power level?"

"No, no," the girl said, her attitude becoming even more respectful. According to Lin Xiao, the lowest level of cultivation was already a Soul King. Within the Holy Spirit Cult, this wouldn't even meet the standards for a Soul Ascension Ceremony, but outside of it, it was enough to establish a small sect.

"If you don't mind, please follow me and show me your spirit ring."

Lin Xiao just stood up, but he paused, "Let's check the soul power level."

It is really inconvenient to show his spirit ring to too many people.

"Okay, please move on." The girl didn't say anything else. Some soul masters have special martial spirits and don't want to show them to outsiders, so the auction house will naturally use other methods.

"Soul power level... level sixty-nine?"

In a secret room, the person in charge of identifying soul power levels at the Starlight Auction House looked at the crystal ball in front of him that was emitting azure light, then looked up at Lin Xiao.

He is only a step away from becoming a Soul Saint, and he looks less than 30 years old.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. This is your...your number plate. You can enter the auction room directly."

Lin Xiao took it and took a look. Apart from some patterns on it, the most conspicuous thing was the number thirteen, which seemed to be quite near the front. He didn't know in what order they distributed it.

"Okay, thank you both."

"No, no, please come in, sir." Behind Lin Xiao, the girl who brought him here hurriedly made a "please" gesture.

Lin Xiao did not stay any longer and followed the girl into the auction hall.

"Fifty thousand gold soul coins—"

"I'll give you 80,000—"

The appraisal qualification took some time. When Lin Xiao entered the auction hall, the sound of bidding was coming from the hall one after another. Almost everyone's eyes were on the items, and no one noticed Lin Xiao.

Looking at the thing on the stage, which seemed to be the fur of some soul beast, Lin Xiao frowned and found seat number 13 to sit down.

Judging from the price, the item he wanted had not appeared yet. It was just that this auction did not seem to be related to soul guides, so what he wanted might not appear.

"One hundred thousand. My father is away at war, so I'll buy him a cloak to keep him warm."

A somewhat childish voice suddenly sounded from the hall. Lin Xiao turned his head slightly and saw that the person who spoke was a relatively young child, with two guards standing beside him, and a strong murderous aura around him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auction hall fell silent for a moment.

For a soul beast's fur, 80,000 gold soul coins is already a huge premium, and the opening price is 100,000. The person who made the bid must be of extraordinary status, and no one else has the heart to bid.

Lin Xiao didn't pay much attention to it. He leaned back in the chair, feeling the softness. He closed his eyes slightly and listened to the auctioneer introduce the next items.

This auction was indeed not an auction related to soul guides. Until the last item appeared, there was nothing related to soul guides.

It seems that I can only stay in Xingluo City for a while.

Lin Xiao was ready to leave.

However, at this moment, the auctioneer on the auction table spoke again.

"Dear guests, please stay. Although the last lot of this auction has been sold, we at Starlight Auction House have prepared a mystery item for you."

The auctioneer on the stage said the price was high, but not many people in the audience were interested, and some had already stood up and left.

Lin Xiao looked around with some confusion. Not far away, the child who had just spoken had already asked the question in his mind.

"Didn't they say there was a mysterious item? Why did all these people leave?"

"Young Master, you don't know something." The guard beside the child bent slightly. "The mysterious item at the Starlight Auction House is a carving knife. I heard they bought it for 300,000 gold soul coins."

"However, that carving knife has a serious problem, and it could even cause the death of its owner, so it has not been auctioned yet. Starlight Auction House doesn't want to lose money, so they brought it to various auction halls, hoping to sell it as a mystery item."

Although the guard had lowered his voice, Lin Xiao could still hear it clearly with his cultivation level. He suddenly turned his gaze and looked at the auction table. Sure enough, the auctioneer was already starting to introduce.

"...The above is the information regarding this Soul Devouring Carving Knife. The starting price is 100,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"The starting price has dropped again?"

"Yeah, the last time I came here it was still 120,000 gold soul coins."

"I didn't expect that the Starlight Auction House would make such a mistake..."

There were whispers coming from the audience, and the auctioneer on the stage could hear them clearly, but he still managed to maintain a smile.

As an auctioneer, how could she not be aware of the flaws of the Soul-Devouring Knife.

"Dear guests, Starlight Auction House can guarantee that as long as you don't inject soul power into the carving knife, it will not backfire on the owner. Although it cannot be used, as the 99th ranked carving knife, it is still a very outstanding collectible."

The auctioneer still tried his best to keep them, but most of the people in the audience had already left. Even the kid who had just spent a lot of money shook his head and left after taking a few glances.

"Can I take a closer look?"

Just when the auctioneer thought that the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife was going to fail to sell again, a voice suddenly rang out.

Chapter 109 Curse

"Sir, this is inappropriate..."

The auctioneer spoke subconsciously, then quickly swallowed the word "rules".

The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has appeared in the Starlight Auction House for quite some time. Just as those people said just now, not only has it flowed here from other high-end auction houses, but the reserve price has also been lowered again and again, and now there are only 100,000 gold soul coins left.

They had even promised that if the auctioneer could sell the fierce blade, he would get a commission of 1% of the total amount.

Now that someone who is interested in the Soul-Devouring Knife has finally come, he can't just chase him away just because he says something against the rules.

On one hand, it was to let others take a look, and on the other hand, it was to get a 1% commission. The auctioneer gritted his teeth and finally relented, "Yes, my dear guest, please come up to the stage and take a look."

Some people who hadn't yet left the auction hall stopped in their tracks when they heard the conversation between Lin Xiao and the auctioneer. People always wanted to join in the fun, and they also wanted to see if the carving knife would sell.

Lin Xiao did not avoid them and stood up and walked towards the auction table.

"If the customer is unsure, it is better not to touch it directly."

After all, he is an auctioneer, so he knows how to talk. He was afraid that Lin Xiao would break the rules and didn't want him to touch anything. But when he spoke, he meant it for Lin Xiao's own good.

Lin Xiao glanced at the auctioneer, and quickly turned his gaze to the carving knife in front of him. He did not make it too difficult for the auctioneer. He stopped one step away from the table where the carving knife was placed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully felt the contents of the carving knife.
