Soul Power Enhancement Pill (Low-Grade)

The lights in the auction hall flickered back on, but the crowd remained immersed in the shock of the previous three items, whispers buzzing without end.

Lin Yue's figure had long vanished from the stage, replaced by a woman in an elegant long dress—the system's professional auctioneer, Linda. She wore a practiced smile, her voice crisp and pleasant: "Thank you, esteemed guests, for attending this auction. Next is the fourth item of the session, and also the final special addition."

The crowd's attention was drawn once more. Another addition?

Linda waved her jade-like hand, and a delicate white jade bottle slowly rose on the display stand, more exquisite than the one that had held the Soul Power Enhancement Pills, with faint flowing light shimmering across its surface. "These are a set of three Intermediate Soul Power Enhancement Pills," Linda said, her voice laced with allure. "Each pill can raise a Soul Master below level 60 by two levels of soul power, with no side effects. The three are auctioned together, starting price: 5,000 Points!"

The hall erupted in uproar!

Intermediate Soul Power Enhancement Pills? Even more potent, and a set of three!

In the second-floor private rooms, representatives of various factions sat up straight. Such treasures could quickly nurture three Soul Emperor-level experts—a tempting prospect for any force.

"5,500 Points!" The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's representative bid first.

"6,000!" The Elephant Armored Sect, one of the Lower Four Sects, followed closely.

"7,000!" A voice, slightly youthful yet commanding, rang out from the Heaven Dou Empire's royal box.

The price climbed rapidly, soon breaking the 10,000-point mark.

Ning Fengzhi stood in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's private room, frowning slightly. The Intermediate Soul Power Enhancement Pills were certainly precious, but the price was already inflated. He glanced at Ning Rongrong beside him, then ultimately shook his head, refraining from bidding.

In the end, the three Intermediate Soul Power Enhancement Pills were won by the Star Luo Empire's representative at a high price of 13,000 Points.

Linda smiled and struck the auction gavel: "Congratulations to the Star Luo Empire for acquiring this treasure. Today's auction is officially concluded. Please, honored guests who have won items, proceed to the backstage to complete the transactions."

In the backstage transaction room, Lin Yue personally oversaw the final handovers.

The first to enter was the minor sect master who had won the Low-level Soul Power Enhancement Pill. Trembling, he produced a prepared Gold Soul Coin card and several ancestral Soul Tools.

"System evaluation: Total value 3,200 Points, matching the winning bid." Lin Yue smiled, handing the white jade bottle to the other party.

The sect master accepted the pill excitedly, thanked him repeatedly, and hurried off, as if fearing someone might snatch it.

Next came the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's representative, who paid for the Titled Douluo Experience Card with two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones and a large quantity of rare metals, totaling 18,000 Points.

When Ning Fengzhi entered with the two Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Gu Rong, the atmosphere in the transaction room grew noticeably heavier.

"Pavilion Master Lin." Ning Fengzhi greeted him courteously, producing an exquisite Storage Soul Tool. "This is the equivalent of 50,000 Points. Please take a look."

Lin Yue swept his spiritual sense over it, revealing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's years of accumulated treasures: three high-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, dozens of high-grade Soul Tools, vast quantities of rare herbs and metals, and even a fragmentary manual on Soul Master cultivation insights.

"Sect Master Ning is generous." Lin Yue nodded slightly, handing over the jade slip containing the Soul Core Condensation Method (Introductory).

Chen Xin suddenly spoke, his voice as sharp as a sword's edge: "Pavilion Master Lin, forgive my bluntness, but is this Soul Core Condensation Method truly as effective as claimed?"

Lin Yue smiled calmly: "If Sword Douluo doubts it, you may verify it now. If there is any falsehood, the auction house will compensate tenfold."

Ning Fengzhi quickly smoothed things over: "Uncle Sword is merely being cautious. Pavilion Master Lin, please don't take offense." He carefully stored the jade slip, hesitated a moment, then added, "May I ask for a small hint about the auction three days from now?"

Lin Yue gave him a meaningful look: "Sect Master Ning will know when the time comes. I assure you, it will not disappoint."

After seeing off the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect party, the last to enter was the Star Luo Empire's representative, who delivered the equivalent of 13,000 Points and took the three Intermediate Soul Power Enhancement Pills.

With all transactions complete, a system prompt rang in Lin Yue's mind:

[Total auction revenue: 84,200 Points] [Host's commission: 8,420 Points] [Current total Points: 16,420 Points]

Lin Yue nodded in satisfaction. The first auction had yielded such gains, far exceeding expectations.

Outside the auction hall, the various factions departed one after another, each person's mood complex and hard to articulate.

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's carriage, Ning Fengzhi eagerly probed the jade slip with his spiritual sense. Moments later, his eyes snapped open, his face filled with shock.

"How is it?" Gu Rong asked urgently.

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath: "Exquisite beyond compare! Though this Soul Core Condensation Method is only the introductory part, its concepts are unheard of, yet they strike at the very essence. If it can truly be mastered, soul power condensation will improve by at least thirty percent!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Chen Xin's eyes: "It seems this auction house does have some real skill."

"More than just some skill." Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly. "I have a feeling that the appearance of this Myriad Worlds Auction House will completely reshape the continent's landscape."

He gazed out the window at the rapidly receding scenery, murmuring, "We must establish a good relationship with Pavilion Master Lin as soon as possible. For the auction three days from now, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must secure several major treasures at any cost!"

Within the Star Luo Empire's convoy, the representative carefully handed three jade bottles to a black-robed elder.

"My lord, these are the three Intermediate Soul Power Enhancement Pills."

The black-robed elder uncorked a bottle, sniffed it lightly, and a look of astonishment crossed his eyes: "Such pure medicinal power! Not a trace of impurities! Rush them back to the empire at top speed—His Majesty will surely reward you handsomely!"

"Understood!"

Inside the carriage of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen toyed with the Titled Douluo Experience Card, his expression complex.

"Clan Leader, isn't the price we paid a bit too steep?" an elder couldn't help but ask.

Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly: "Two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones are indeed precious, but this card can save my life at a critical moment—it's worth it! Besides..."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "Through this card, I might be able to glimpse the mysteries of the Titled Douluo level, which would greatly benefit the younger generation of the clan."

The Martial Soul Hall's contingent was the most low-key. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo remained silent, their carriage speeding along.

"We must report this as soon as possible." Moon Guan toyed with the chrysanthemum in his hand, his expression grave. "The appearance of those soul beasts, and the Auction House's attitude—none of it is trivial."

Ghostly's figure flickered in the shadows of the carriage: "That silver-haired woman... she gave me a feeling even more terrifying than the Great Elder. The depths of the Star Dou Great Forest truly hide great secrets."

On a cliff dozens of miles from the Auction Pavilion, Gu Yuena stood against the wind, her silver hair flying. Di Tian and Bi Ji stood silently behind her.

"Master, why not seize those treasures?" Di Tian couldn't help but ask. "Those pills should help with your injuries."

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly: "No rush. Those pills are good, but they're not enough to heal my wounds. As for that Lin Yue..."

A flicker of interest passed through her violet eyes: "The way he looked at me was different from the others. No fear, no greed, not even surprise—as if he already knew who I was."

Bi Ji spoke softly: "Should I make contact with him?"

"No need." Gu Yuena turned, gazing toward the direction of the Lake of Life. "He will come to us. I have that feeling."

At the top floor of the Myriad Worlds Auction Pavilion, Lin Yue stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance where the various factions had departed.

Long Yi appeared silently behind him: "Master, all factions have left. During that time, three groups attempted to tail other buyers, but I have secretly driven them off."

Lin Yue nodded: "Well done. For the next three days, the Auction House will be closed to guests. I need to prepare the next auction items."

"Yes."

Lin Yue entered the cultivation room prepared especially for him, sinking his consciousness into the system mall.

16,420 Points—enough to exchange for quite a few good things.

He carefully browsed the list of items, finally fixing his gaze on several special objects:

[Random Otherworld Cultivation Method Draw Ticket: 5000 Points]

[Low-level Alchemy Introduction: 3000 Points]

[Spiritual Herb Seed Gift Pack: 2000 Points]

"Exchange for the Random Otherworld Cultivation Method Draw Ticket and the Spiritual Herb Seed Gift Pack." Lin Yue made his decision.

[Exchange successful. Remaining Points: 9420 Points]

An ancient scroll and a cloth pouch appeared in Lin Yue's hands. He opened the pouch first; inside were dozens of seeds emitting a faint halo, spiritual herbs that had never appeared on the Douluo Continent.

"Interesting. Perhaps I can set up a medicinal garden." Lin Yue carefully stored the seeds away, then took a deep breath and activated the Random Cultivation Method Draw Ticket.

The scroll transformed into a beam of golden light that merged into his brow, and a flood of information surged into his mind.

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the cultivation method: Eternal Precious Unity Art (Fragment)]

[Grade: Divine (Incomplete)]

[Description: Can merge energy from different systems, transforming it into the most primal Eternal Precious Force. Cultivated to completion, one thought can manifest myriad laws, one force can shatter myriad realms.]

A light of ecstasy burst forth in Lin Yue's eyes. This cultivation method was practically tailor-made for him! It could fuse soul power, spiritual energy, Battle Qi, and other energies, converting them into the higher-order Eternal Precious Force.

Though only a fragment, it far surpassed any cultivation technique in this world!

"System, exchange for one year of cultivation time." Lin Yue commanded without hesitation.

[Exchange successful. 1000 Points consumed. Remaining Points: 8420 Points]

The flow of time within the cultivation room abruptly shifted. Lin Yue closed his eyes and began to cultivate the mysterious Eternal Precious Unity Art.

The three-day limit passed in the blink of an eye.

When the Myriad Worlds Auction Pavilion reopened, Lin Yue stepped out of the cultivation room, his aura deeper and more unfathomable than before.

Mo Chen came to report: "Master, the various factions have arrived one after another—nearly double the last time. Also..."

He looked out the window, where a magnificent procession was slowly approaching, the clear emblem of a Six-Winged Angel on its banner revealing the identity of its occupants.
