Inside the auction house.
The lights dazzled, and the crowd roared.
Long Zhanye sat in an inconspicuous corner of the audience seating.
His broad conical hat tilted slightly back, revealing his eyes beneath the mask.
He watched with great interest as one treasure after another was presented on the raised platform and changed hands amid waves of bidding from below.
The first item was an exquisitely crafted third-grade Soul Tool—the Paralysis Ray Cannon.
The auctioneer demonstrated that it could fire a special energy ray.
It could paralyze Spirit Masters below the Spirit King rank for as long as fifteen seconds, restricting their movements.

"Esteemed guests, please take a look!" The auctioneer held up an object, his voice impassioned.
"A fourth-grade Energy-Storage Soul Tool—the 'Milk Bottle'! It is not meant for combat, yet it can be called a Spirit Master's 'second life' when it comes to endurance!"
"It can store a large amount of Soul Power in advance. When a Spirit Master's Soul Power is overly depleted in battle, they need only hold it in their hand."
"Activate its switch, and in an extremely short time, the stored Soul Power will rapidly replenish their body!"
"Whether in a prolonged battle, a succession of battles, or deep within dangerous territory where supplies are difficult to obtain."
"Possessing a 'Milk Bottle' means having another chance to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory!"
"For any Spirit Master—especially those who frequently use soul skills or venture deep into Soul Beast habitats—its value goes without saying!"
"Starting bid—eight thousand
