On the stage, the elegant auctioneer had already begun his introduction.
"I'm sure everyone wants to know what this mysterious gift is. It's getting late, and I never keep you in suspense. This mysterious gift could be considered the most ordinary yet inseparable friend for soul masters. Every soul master must have it. However, our last item today is completely different. It's not a soul device, which is why I said it shouldn't be here. However, its relationship with the soul masters was too close. Before I lift the cloth, I will say one last thing. With its value and rarity, it should be able to enter our Starlight Auction House's top auction. Everyone, please take a look."
The moment the cloth was lifted, everyone's eyes were attracted to it. The dazzling brilliance that everyone had expected did not appear. What appeared was an extremely ordinary item. Just as Qing Ya had said, this was something that any soul master was familiar with and could not lack.
The reason why the cloth was so tall was not because the item itself was large, but because it was carried by a display stand. The volume under the cloth was naturally that display stand. The item itself was very small, about half a foot long and only as thick as a finger. From the bottom to the top, it was a change from wide to narrow. At the top was a sharp tip, and below it was a sharp blade that was about half an inch wide. It was simple and dark, with faint patterns engraved on it, emitting a faint ancient aura. But it was also a little gloomy.
Many bidders sighed in dissatisfaction. Clearly, they did not feel that this mysterious gift had brought them any surprises. However, there were a few people whose pupils rapidly constricted. The appearance of this item shocked them.
Carving knife. Yes, this was a carving knife used by a soul master to inscribe a core array. The two sections of the carving knife had their uses. When carving different arrays, their uses were different. Every soul master needed a carving knife. It was a necessity for making soul devices.
An elegant voice sounded amidst the dissatisfaction." I'm sure some of the distinguished guests have been deceived by its appearance. Then, I can only tell you regretfully that you are wrong. Missing this mysterious gift will be the biggest mistake of your lives. Next, let me introduce this seemingly ordinary carving knife to all the distinguished guests.”
"A carving knife is a necessity for all soul masters. And a good carving knife was the most important existence to become a high-rank soul master. The sword in front of the distinguished guests could no longer be simply described as good. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a peerless carving knife. In the world of soul masters, carving knives were also ranked. Almost all of the top-notch carving knives were in the hands of top-notch soul masters. Everyone should have heard of the saying of ranking carving knives. It meant that he could be ranked on the engraving knife ranking list.”
"On the Douluo Continent's carving knife ranking list, only the top hundred carving knives are recorded. Unfortunately, more than two-thirds of them are from the Sun Moon Empire. This was also one of the important reasons why the Sun Moon Empire had so many powerful soul masters. "What you see in front of you is one of the top 100, which is the ranking carving knife I mentioned just now.”
As a soul master, his pursuit of the ranking carving knife would never be less. In the entire Shrek Academy, there were only two ranking carving knives. They were in the hands of Principal Xian Lin 'er and Fan Yu.
The appearance of such a ranking carving knife before their eyes was of great significance not only to them but also to Shrek Academy.
Although Wang Yan couldn't understand carving knives, he was instantly energized when he heard the words 'listed carving knife'. He understood. This was something he would bring back to Shrek Academy no matter what. Even if he had to pay a high price, the academy would only reward him. Among the rare items that the academy was looking for, the carving knife had been on the list for a long time! This was especially true for the soul guidance faculty. Even Vice Dean Qian Duoduo had yet to use a ranking carving knife.
The atmosphere below the stage suddenly became lively, causing a dazzling smile to appear on Qing Ya's pretty face. She was not in a hurry at all. After waiting for more than five minutes, the bidders below the stage gradually calmed down.
"Auctioneer Qing Ya. What are you waiting for? Let's start the bidding." Someone could not help but urge him.
Qing Ya smiled and said,"Honored guests, don't be anxious." Everyone knows that our Starlight Auction House has always been known for its honesty. Any item that leaves our place. We will guarantee the quality. They would never allow any defective or problematic items to be handed over to the VIPs without explanation. So, please allow me to finish.”
As he spoke, Qing Ya looked at the ancient carving knife with some regret. "If this is just a normal ranking carving knife, then all of you, distinguished guests, should be able to guess that it would never appear here." The preciousness of a ranked carving knife was always at the top of the list in the world of soul masters. It was even more precious than some rare materials. The reason why this ranking carving knife appeared in today's Level 4 auction as the finale was because it had a certain problem.”
"In the ranking of carving knives, it is ranked 99th. With his ability, he should not have been ranked so low. It should even be possible for him to enter the top 30. The reason why his ranking was so low was mainly because he was a cursed carving knife-the Soul Devouring Carving Knife!”
"The Devouring Spirit Carving Knife has a history of more than three thousand years. Three thousand years ago. It appeared in the Sun Moon Empire. Its creator was an astonishingly talented soul master. It was said that this soul master's cultivation base had reached rank-9 in the end. Moreover, it was not only a soul teacher, but also a soul master, a terrifying evil soul master. As early as 3,000 years ago, he had once brought a bloody storm to the continent.”
Hearing this, the bidders in the auction hall all quieted down. Many people's expressions also became solemn.
"The Devouring Spirit Engraving Blade was created by the evil soul master in his later years. It was said that not long after he made this carving knife, he met a great enemy. This genius of his generation, but also a vicious man of his generation, had fallen. When he died, he didn't bring the Spirit Devouring Carving Saber with him. As time passed, this vicious saber was lost among the people.”
"According to the history of the Starlight Auction House, this blade had a total of 37 owners. However, all thirty-seven of them died tragically in the end. Among them, nine of them became evil soul masters. According to the legends, this vicious blade, Devouring Spirit, contained a trace of the genius evil soul master's soul. It could lead people to evil. Only those who are not strong-willed can use it. Moreover, it could not be used often. Therefore, its ranking fell again and again until it finally reached the point where it could not fall anymore. It was only because of its history and past glory that it had never been removed from the list. The people who liked it had always hoped that it could find a true owner. We hope that its master is of the light attribute, so that it will be difficult to be devoured by it. Of course, we do not fully understand this carving knife. Therefore, distinguished guests, please be careful when choosing. What we can guarantee is that as long as we don't infuse spirit power into it, it won't backfire on its master. Therefore, as a listed carving knife, even if it was a collector's item, it was still very good.”
After listening to Qing Ya's long introduction, everyone finally understood why a Ranked Carving Knife would appear in a Level 4 Auction. Many of the people who had been rubbing their fists remained silent.
As a ranking carving knife, the price of this Devouring Spirit would definitely not be too low. No matter how good the ranking carving knife was, it could not be compared to life! Wouldn't it be a waste if he couldn't use it after buying it at a high price? After all, this was only a Level 4 auction. The people who came to participate weren't that rich, so many people hesitated.
"Devouring Spirit Engraving Blade, starting price one hundred thousand gold spirit coins, each increment not lower than five thousand gold spirit coins. All the distinguished guests can start bidding now.”Qing Ya said with a smile. In fact, she was not excited at all. With her experience as an auctioneer for nearly ten years, she could tell from the reactions below that this Soul-Devouring Saber was probably going to go unsold again.
In fact, when the Soul-Devouring Saber first came to the Starlight Auction House, it was originally going to appear at the top auction. The initial price wasn't one hundred thousand, but three hundred thousand gold spirit coins. This carving knife was acquired by the Starlight Auction House by accident. No matter what, it was a ranking knife!
However, who knew that its fierce reputation was so great that none of the high-level VIPs were willing to own it. Even if it was a collector's item, he was not willing. Who would dare to take the risk of having an evil soul master's soul by their side?
The history of the Soul-Devouring Saber could be described as brutal. Including its creator, no one had ever lived more than ten years after obtaining it. Therefore, although it had a history of more than 3,000 years, most of the time, it was sealed.
The owner of the Starlight Auction House had no choice but to let it appear frequently in some auctions. He also promised the auctioneer that whoever could sell the Devouring Spirit would get 1% of the total price as a commission. However, things did not go as he wished. After more than ten auctions, the final result of the Spirit Devouring Saber was not satisfactory. This also caused the starting price to drop again and again. It was almost close to the cost price of the Starlight Auction House.
So be it. Originally, Qing Ya did not place much hope on this carving knife.
Right at this time, suddenly, a somewhat tender voice sounded below the stage,”
A sign was suddenly raised. The number 333 was written on it.
Qing Ya was stunned for a moment. This was the first time someone had bid for the Soul-Devouring Saber since it appeared in the Starlight Auction House! After a brief moment of shock, she was filled with joy. In fact, one percent commission was one thousand gold spirit coins! Even if he spent it extravagantly, it would still be enough to spend a few years. It was already pretty good if she could get tens to a hundred gold spirit coins for hosting an auction. After all, she was only a purple rank auctioneer. If he could get the Soul-Devouring Saber, he might be able to rise to the black level and host an auction of a higher level.
For a moment, Qing Ya was so surprised that she forgot to respond.
"I offer one hundred thousand gold spirit coins." The slightly immature voice sounded again.
"Ah! Good, honored guest number three hundred thirty three bids one hundred thousand gold spirit coins. Are there any other distinguished guests who want to bid?”Qing Ya came back to her senses and quickly responded. Moreover, her hope immediately increased. With the first bid, there might be a second one. Even if it was only five thousand, her income would also increase by fifty gold spirit coins.
The bidder was Huo Yuhao. The reason Huo Yuhao bid was not only because of the old man's reminder in his mind, but also because of the system's reminder:
"Beep! [The System has determined that the item in the user's line of sight contains a large amount of life force!] User is recommended to obtain this item!"
It was this reminder that made Huo Yuhao finally decide to buy it!
When they heard Huo Yuhao's bid, everyone from Shrek Academy was shocked. Even Bebe, Xu Sanshi, and the others, who didn't know anything about soul tools, could tell from the auctioneer's introduction and the silence of the crowd that there was something wrong with this carving knife. However, Huo Yuhao had already bid without even discussing with them. He was…
Huo Yuhao leaned over to Wang Yan and whispered,""Don't worry! I have a way to remove the curse it carries! Moreover, I will pay for the price of this carving knife myself!”
Wang Yan didn't say anything else after hearing Huo Yuhao's words. After all, Huo Yuhao had bought it with his own money, so he couldn't say anything!
Under Qing Ya's repeated questioning, there was no response from the audience. No one was willing to bid for this fierce saber, because everyone knew that once they bid, they would really be sold.
"One hundred thousand gold spirit coins going once." Qing Ya had no choice but to bid the last three times.
"One hundred thousand gold spirit coins, going twice."
"One hundred thousand gold spirit coins, going three times. Deal!"
"Bang!" The auction gavel fell, announcing that the peerless saber had fallen into Huo Yuhao's hands. Huo Yuhao paid with the two Dark Water Pills and one Soul Rising Pill.
Dark Water Pill, Soul Ascension Pill! These were all items that could not be obtained at an auction!!! Huo Yuhao's bartering seemed to be against the rules, but she didn't say anything. After all, the value of these three medicinal pills absolutely exceeded one hundred thousand gold spirit coins!
After that, Huo Yuhao returned to his room…
He placed the box containing the ranking carving knife on the table and picked it up. At the same time, the system's unique voice sounded.
"Beep, a large amount of life force has been detected. Initial calculation can be exchanged for 500000 summoning points. Do you want to exchange for summoning points?”
Huo Yuhao was shocked by the number and quickly handed the crystal to the system.
"Ding! Obtained 500000 Summoning Points!”
He saw that there was an additional 500,000 points on the data showing the summoning points! Huo Yuhao only had one word left in his mind:
He was rich!
