Huo Yuhao's heartache was psychological, not physical. If it had been physical, that would have been a serious problem. Why did his heart ache? Because Huo Yuhao had seen something he never should have seen.
As everyone knew, Huo Yuhao had made a huge sum buying and selling soul bones, and he was not short on Rare Metals for the time being either. It had been a perfect operation. Until this day, when something at the auction shocked Huo Yuhao.
What was being auctioned on the stage was a soul bone, and no matter how he looked at that Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, it was clearly one he had personally taken out of a grave before. Huo Yuhao had been disgusted for a long time because of that, and only then had he understood why Wang Yi disliked coming into contact with these things. Although soul bones were extremely beautiful objects, and anyone who saw them would be impressed by the sense of power they displayed.
Because these were exhibited items, they had been packaged and cleaned. What Huo Yuhao had obtained was first-hand and untreated, even more disgusting than what Spirit Beasts obtained. At least what Spirit Beasts could obtain was dug out of fresh flesh and blood. This had been rotten flesh, even a puddle of pus. Anyone who had seen it once would not want to see it a second time.
Huo Yuhao had originally thought he would never see these soul bones again, but now they had appeared before his eyes once more. Then the atmosphere at the auction heated up as well. Huo Yuhao was extremely unused to this kind of atmosphere. Was it not just a soul bone? Even if it was hard to obtain, there was no need to get this excited.
