Li An took a deep breath, as if this would make what he was about to say less ridiculous
"My lord, a guest came to the auction house in Soto City."
He paused and seemed to be considering his words:
"This guest... wants to entrust us, Liulitian, to auction a batch of soul bones."
"Soul bones?"
Ning Liu's fingertips gently rubbed the warm side of the tea cup, his expression was still that lazy, and he didn't seem to care too much.
"It's a good thing that soul bones are being auctioned. Naturally, this kind of treasure must be placed in our Liulitian venue so that it can sell for the best price."
"You can just evaluate it according to the rules and make arrangements. Why do you need to go there in person?"
As the number one auction house in the mainland, Liulitian handles countless rare treasures. Although soul bones are rare, Li An, the old manager, is already familiar with handling this kind of business.
"No..."
Lee An had a very strange look on his face, even a trace of trance that he couldn't be sure of.
"My lord, you didn't hear clearly. What I said was...a batch."
"A batch?"
Ning Liu stopped rubbing the side of the cup and raised his eyes to look at Li An, his eyes finally becoming more serious.
Lee An’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and his voice was a little dry:
"Yes, Lord. The guest took out not one soul bone, nor two... but twenty!"
"Bang."
There was a soft sound.
The white jade teacup in Ning Liu's hand was placed firmly back on the table, but the crisp sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone in the hall.
Twenty yuan?
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
The blush that Ning Rongrong had just calmed down climbed onto her cheeks again, but this time it was not because of shyness, but because of extreme shock.
Her little mouth was slightly open, and her beautiful eyes were so round that they could almost fit a pigeon egg into them.
Twenty soul bones?
What is this concept?
Have you spent twenty yuan at a time? What a joke!
Ning Liu's body was leaning on the soft couch and he had sat up straight without realizing it.
He was still thinking that if Rongrong really had no clue about her second test, he would have to find a way to go to Poseidon Island or go deep into some extremely dangerous places to see if he could hunt down some special spirit beasts and find a suitable spirit bone for her.
But now...
Lee An told him that someone had twenty soul bones and wanted to do business with him?
This is no longer a piece of pie falling from the sky, this is a mountain of gold falling directly from the sky, and it is going to hit him on the head by name.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Ning Liu’s first reaction was not surprise, but vigilance.
What kind of existence can take out twenty soul bones at once?
Even the Wuhun Palace would never be able to squander it like this.
Is it an ancient family that is hidden from the world? Or... have some ancient ruins been discovered?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, each one of which was enough to cause turmoil across the entire continent.
"Twenty dollars! Senior brother! There must be something I can use in here! Take a look, see if there is any with healing skills!"
She doesn't care where these soul bones came from. She only knows that her perverted divine test of "treating a thousand injuries within a year" has finally seen the light of solution!
As long as she has a soul bone with a healing soul skill, she doesn't have to worry anymore!
Ning Rongrong's excitement was like a ray of breeze, blowing away the solemn atmosphere in the hall.
Ning Liu looked at her bright eyes, the vigilance in his heart was slightly suppressed, and was replaced by a trace of helpless pampering.
He reached out his hand and gently scratched Ning Rongrong's nose.
"Little money fan, I haven't seen anything yet, and you are so excited."
Even so, his eyes turned to Li An again, and his voice became calm: "Show me the information on the soul bones."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li An quickly took out a thick file from his storage soul guide and presented it respectfully with both hands. While handing it over, he continued to report:
"Lord, there is something very strange about this batch of soul bones."
"There are twenty soul bones in total, and the oldest one is only seven thousand years old."
"Most of them are soul bones that are one or two thousand years old. Moreover, from the perspective of the types of soul beasts, most of them come from auxiliary, defense, and even plant-type soul beasts with weak attack power."
This news made Ning Liu feel even more incredible than the amount of "twenty yuan."
Thousand-year soul bones?
This thing is even rarer!
It’s not that it’s more precious than a ten-thousand-year soul bone, but the probability of its appearance is much lower than a ten-thousand-year soul bone!
As we all know, the older the soul beast is, the stronger its cultivation is, and the greater the probability of condensing soul bones after death.
It is rare for a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to produce a soul bone, but it is reasonable.
But the Millennium Soul Beast...the explosion rate is so low that even when hunting hundreds of soul beasts, you may not even see a trace of a soul bone.
Now, someone has taken out twenty yuan, and all of them are millennium-level?
This can no longer be explained by "good luck".
Behind this, there must be a way to stably produce soul bones, or is it a secret? !
Thinking of this, even though Ningliu's mind was calm, his breathing became even faster.
He quickly took the file and opened the first page.
Ning Rongrong also curiously raised his head and looked at it with him.
< Generationleg handbone: Bixin glazed arm bone (right arm bone). Effect: Consume soul power to condense a glass light shield to protect yourself or friendly targets. The intensity of the light shield is directly proportional to the injected soul power, and can purify negative states to a small extent. 】
"Wow! Look, senior brother! This "Blue Heart Glazed Arm Bone", just from the name, it matches our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect very well!"
Ning Rongrong pointed at the file and exclaimed in surprise.
Ning Liu's vision was even more far-reaching.
The Blue-Eyed Glazed Beast is an extremely docile spirit beast. It is famous for its defense and has almost zero attack power.
Hunting this kind of soul beast, except for the auxiliary soul master, almost no one cares about it.
He said nothing and continued to turn to the next page.
【Soul Bone Skill: Fountain of Life. Effect: Can store healing energy once per day, up to three times. You can also consume your own soul power to activate this skill. When used, it can instantly restore the target's moderate injuries, and also has a miraculous effect on promoting regeneration of broken limbs. After the energy is exhausted, it takes twelve hours to recharge it. 】
"This! This is good!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly, and she shook Ning Liu's arm excitedly.
"Senior brother! This is it! Promote the regeneration of amputated limbs! Isn't this what I need most? With it, I am confident that even ten thousand, let alone a thousand injuries, can be cured!"
She seemed to have seen a bright future in which she would complete the second test and obtain the soul bone given by God.
Ning Liu's heart also beat heavily.
This soul bone is simply tailor-made for Ning Rongrong’s second test!
However, the vintage is indeed a bit low!
He suppressed the waves in his heart and continued to look down.
【Name of the soul bone: Trunk Bone of Thorn Vine】
【Year of the soul bone: about four thousand years】
【Produced soul beast: Ghost Prison Thorn Vine】
【Soul bone skill: Thorn Cage. Effect...]
[Soul bone name: Pink Dream Skull]
[Soul bone year: about 1,800 years]
[Produced soul beast: Pink Empress]
[Soul bone skill: Charm Aura. Effect……】
Turning over page after page, there are a dazzling array of soul bones on them. Although they are not very old, each of them has unique skills and is very practical.
Fountain of Healing, Dew of Rain, Wall of Protection...
They are almost all the same, and they are all auxiliary, healing and defensive soul bones.
The more Ning Liu looked at it, the more shocked he became.
He finally understood why these soul bones appeared in such a strange way.
This is not a treasure hunt, nor is it an expedition to ruins.
Behind this, there is clearly an invisible hand carrying out a "soul bone mass production" plan with clear goals and terrifying efficiency!
The ones hunted were all spirit beasts with weak attack power and easy to capture.
The products produced are all auxiliary soul bones that are highly practical and in high demand.
This...this is simply a perfect business model!
Ning Liu slowly closed the file, and the palace fell into silence again.
He raised his head and looked at Li An, his eyes sharper than ever before.
"Where is that guest now?"
