Soul Tool that Triples Cultivation Speed

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said frankly.

"If this Intermediate Healing Potion truly is as the Starry Sky Auction House claims, then it really is something that could save our lives."

"When carrying out missions, danger is inevitable. With it, we'll have one more safeguard."

Bei Bei nodded thoughtfully, a trace of emotion in his expression.

"That's true. As far as I know, there really isn't anything on Douluo Continent that can compare to this Intermediate Healing Potion."

"Even a healing-type Soul Sage can't guarantee healing someone who has only a breath left in a short time. This potion's effect is simply too heaven-defying."

Mu En naturally noticed their conversation.

With a kindly smile on his face, he looked at Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Zhang Lexuan, and the others, speaking gently.

"If there's anything you need, you can bid for it. If you don't have enough money, take it from me. Consider it a gift from me to you."

Huo Yuhao hurriedly waved his hand in refusal, saying sincerely, "Mu En, there's no need."

"This Intermediate Healing Potion is indeed an extremely precious treasure, but unfortunately, it's only a one-time-use item. There's no need to waste the academy's resources. Let's see what comes up later in the auction."

Although Huo Yuhao longed for the potion, he understood even more clearly that he had to consider the bigger picture and could not lose sight of the greater for the lesser.

Mu En smiled and nodded, continuing, "It's fine. If something that can truly help you comes up later, go ahead and bid for it. Don't hold back."

Huo Yuhao and the others looked at Mu En gratefully and said in unison, "Alright, Mu En."

Then, they turned their attention back to the auction stage, awaiting the arrival of the next auction item.

In another corner of the auction hall, Meng Hongchen was sitting with Jing Hongchen.

Curiosity gleamed in Meng Hongchen's eyes as she carefully looked at her grandfather, Jing Hongchen, and suggested, "Grandfather, should we bid for this Intermediate Healing Potion and bring it back for a proper study? It might give us some inspiration for researching similar Soul Tools."

Meng Hongchen had a strong interest in Soul Tool research.

In her view, the healing principles behind this potion might provide new ideas for Soul Tool development.

Jing Hongchen gently shook his head and said seriously, "This Intermediate Healing Potion is merely a single-use medicine. It isn't worth it."

"My purpose in coming here is for the final auction item. We need to save more Gold Soul Coins."

Jing Hongchen knew full well about the finale item of this auction. He did not want to lose sight of the greater for the lesser by wasting funds on a one-time-use potion.

Moreover, seeing that both Mu En and Xuan Zi of Shrek Academy had come in person, he knew the competition would be exceptionally fierce and that he had to reserve sufficient funds.

After hearing Jing Hongchen's words, a hint of disappointment appeared in Meng Hongchen's eyes, but she still nodded obediently and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, the previously frivolous expression on Xiao Hongchen's face had also gained a trace of seriousness. He, too, realized that this auction was far from ordinary.

Time passed second by second, and the auction for this Intermediate Healing Potion gradually drew to a close.

Every fall of the Auction Hammer in Ling Yun's hand was like a heavy blow striking everyone's hearts.

"2.73 million Gold Soul Coins, going once."

Ling Yun's crisp voice rang through the hall as her gaze swept across the entire venue, not overlooking anyone who might still bid.

"2.73 million Gold Soul Coins, going twice."

"2.73 million Gold Soul Coins, going three times."

Ling Yun raised her voice slightly, lifting the Auction Hammer high before bringing it down heavily.

"Congratulations to bidder number 73 on the first floor for successfully purchasing this bottle of Intermediate Healing Potion for 2.73 million Gold Soul Coins."

As Ling Yun announced the result, applause erupted throughout the hall.

The Soul Sage from seat number 73 on the first floor stood up with a face full of delight and, under everyone's gaze, headed backstage to complete the purchase procedures.

Immediately afterward, Ling Yun spoke again. "Next is the auction for the third item."

"The third auction item is a Soul Tool construction blueprint. Of course, this type of Soul Tool has never appeared on Douluo Continent before. I believe every one of you will be interested in it."

The corners of Ling Yun's lips curled upward slightly into a mysterious smile, while a sly glint flashed in her eyes, as though she were deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

Sure enough, the moment Ling Yun finished speaking, the entire auction hall erupted like a lit powder keg.

Expectation appeared in everyone's eyes as they began discussing in low voices, speculating about this mysterious Soul Tool's purpose and power.

In their eyes, the fact that the Starry Sky Auction House had produced a blueprint for a Soul Tool that had never appeared before naturally aroused intense curiosity among the crowd.

With a light wave of Ling Yun's right hand, Soul Power surged, and an exquisite wooden box appeared on the auction table.

The wooden box was enveloped in dense Soul Power, exuding a mysterious aura that made people unable to resist wanting to discover what lay within.

"What will be auctioned next is a Level Five Soul Tool construction blueprint. This Level Five Soul Tool has only one function: it can increase the cultivation speed of Soul Masters below the Soul Emperor rank by three times."

Ling Yun stopped keeping them in suspense and directly revealed the function of this Level Five Soul Tool.

"Increase a Soul Master's cultivation speed threefold?"

"How could that be possible? Does a Soul Tool like that really exist?"

"..."

This news was like a massive bomb, instantly causing an uproar throughout the crowd.

The Soul Masters present were stunned at first, then expressions of shock spread across their faces as a wave of commotion erupted.

Soul Tools were highly developed across the Douluo Continent today, and Soul Tools capable of increasing a Soul Master's cultivation speed did indeed exist.

However, those Soul Tools could only speed up the absorption of Soul Power to a certain extent and assist with cultivation. They were nowhere near capable of tripling one's cultivation speed.

This was not merely an entirely new concept—it was a cultivation treasure countless Soul Masters had dreamed of.

"Grandfather, it can't be fake, can it?"

Xiao Hongchen had been lounging lazily in his chair, but upon hearing the news, he abruptly sat upright. The laziness on his face was replaced by boundless shock.

Born into the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall, he was himself an exceptionally gifted Soul Engineer, and his understanding of Soul Tools far surpassed that of ordinary people.

He knew exactly what a Soul Tool that could triple a Soul Master's cultivation speed represented. It was simply heaven-defying.

Moreover, Mingde Hall had previously attempted to forge Soul Tools with similar functions, but they had ultimately gotten nowhere and could only give up in frustration.

Yet now, the Starry Sky Auction House had actually brought out the design blueprints. He found it utterly unbelievable.

Jing Hongchen's expression also turned exceptionally grave. He stared intently at the wooden box on the auction stage and slowly said, "It should be real. No matter what, we must secure this Soul Tool."

Jing Hongchen knew full well that if the Sun Moon Empire obtained this Soul Tool, its strength would undoubtedly receive an immense boost.

This was especially true for Soul Masters below the Soul Emperor rank—their cultivation speed would rise dramatically.

In a short period of time, the strength of the Sun Moon Empire's mid-level Soul Masters would undergo explosive growth, greatly enhancing the empire's foundation.
