Three Soul Bones

At this moment, the young man and young woman had no need for her temptations.

They would naturally seek out what they needed to grow stronger on their own.

The three Soul Bones were displayed right there; they were not fools, so they would naturally go over to take a look.

It was not just them; Bei Bei and the others were also still there and had not yet left.

The three of them walked over to the Soul Bones and reunited with Bei Bei's group.

"Have you finished your evaluation?" Seeing them arrive from the evaluation point, Bei Bei asked this question, though he chose not to probe any further.

Wang Dong'er glared fiercely at Ji Siyuan: "We're done. Someone's treatment really is quite good, isn't it?"

Bei Bei gently skipped over the topic; he had no intention of digging into the specifics of their treatment.

"You had best take a close look at these three Soul Bones. They are extremely suitable for you."

It wasn't just Bei Bei; even Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, who had been bickering on the side, stopped what they were doing and earnestly urged them to take a careful look.

The three of them didn't ask any more questions and chose to examine the Soul Bones themselves.

First was the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone from a Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon King. It possessed the light attribute and was highly suitable for light-type Spirit Masters. Even through the crystal cover, Wang Dong'er could feel that this Soul Bone was a perfect match for her.

Ji Siyuan: "It seems the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Dragon Meat we ate last time came from this. The one who ate the most is the most suitable Spirit Master. Little Pig is a great fit." He didn't dare to say the last sentence out loud.

"Ji Siyuan!" The two were already standing close, and Wang Dong'er's hands were faster than her mouth; she used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to grab him on the spot.

"I was complimenting you."

"Despicable, the look in your eyes just now didn't look like a compliment."

Ji Siyuan: "Stop messing around. We are at the Treasure Pavilion, not in the dorms; we can't act recklessly here."

"Hmph!" Wang Dong'er let out a cold snort, then actually let go.

This left Xu Sanshi, who was watching from the side, stunned. Was she really that easy to talk to? He subconsciously looked at Jiang Nannan, but before he could even open his mouth, he was glared back into silence by her.

Teasing aside, there was still work to be done. He asked in a low voice: "Do you need me to help you acquire it?"

"I can do it myself. You should save your privileges for yourself." Wang Dong'er was capable of acquiring the Soul Bone on her own, and she did not intend to use Ji Siyuan's privileges.

Because the value of a single Soul Bone was simply too high, letting Ji Siyuan help her acquire it would mean owing a favor that was a bit too heavy.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone had a price tag of 9.5 million Gold Soul Coins; coming up with items of equal value was no easy task.

Huo Yuhao also whispered: "Our treatment is so good, and we've taken so many things—won't the academy suffer a loss?"

"That depends on how you define it," Ji Siyuan said. "The academy values a student's sense of belonging to the school more, while students want to use the school as a platform to improve themselves. This sense of belonging allows students to help the school in the future; that is the value."

"Take you, for example. Right now, you are a 'potential stock' to the school. Only when you truly grow up and become a powerhouse will you be useful to the school."

"And what about you? Why are you good to me?" Huo Yuhao buried this question deeper in his heart; he didn't want to know the answer right now.

Ji Siyuan's answer was not perfect, but for Huo Yuhao, it was enough. He looked toward the second Soul Bone.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Spirit Wolf Skull.

Compared to limb bones like the arm bone, skull and torso bones were even more precious due to their positioning.

Coupled with the fact that it was a spirit-attribute skull, its value was even higher. If it were auctioned, the starting price would be in the tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins, and it would be the type of item that is priceless and hard to find.

The description stated it came from a Purple Spirit Wolf of about thirteen thousand years, and the innate skill within the Soul Bone was guaranteed to be a spirit-type spirit skill.

Without a doubt, this item was definitely brought in by Shrek. Because they were better prepared, the items brought out this time were even more luxurious, and the targeting of Huo Yuhao was even more obvious.

Before Ji Siyuan could speak, Huo Yuhao immediately told him that he could handle it himself and did not need Ji Siyuan's help.

Huo Yuhao also possessed corresponding privileges.

Watching the three of them whispering to each other after finishing their inspection, the others assumed that Ji Siyuan and his companions couldn't afford such Soul Bones.

"Although this senior isn't exactly a wealthy man, I am at least a core disciple. I can lend you my balance." Bei Bei tried to take out his purple card to show the three of them.

But they all refused.

After all, their authorization levels were much higher; they didn't need to use money to make purchases.

Although the explanation wasn't complete, they already understood the reason. They also guessed that the treatment Ji Siyuan and his group received was definitely excellent. One had to know that this Treasure Appraisal Fair was meant to make them owe Shrek a favor.

There was one last Soul Bone left that hadn't been absorbed, and they all knew who it belonged to.

Ji Siyuan walked over and read the sign carefully. It contained the description:

The Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Phoenix Left Arm Bone is not a relic of a true phoenix, but it has been bestowed with this name. It can manifest a fire phoenix, and it is speculated that the spirit skill is likely Fire Phoenix Burst Strike or Phoenix Violent Burst Strike.

Seeing this description, Ji Siyuan's eyes dimmed instantly. He finally realized why this Soul Bone felt so familiar. Wasn't this Ma Xiaotao's Soul Bone? He figured that since they saw he was also suitable for it, they hadn't given it to Ma Xiaotao.

Tang San: "The quality of the Soul Bone is good. Do you not intend to take it?"

He felt Ji Siyuan's resistance; Ji Siyuan did not like this Soul Bone.

Ji Siyuan explained to Tang San where the Soul Bone might have come from.

Tang San was silent for a moment: "Then don't take it. Fire Phoenix Burst Strike? The Earth Core Fire Lotus is more powerful than the original owner of this Soul Bone. Your strength does not need this Soul Bone to prove anything." This was just a way for Ji Siyuan and himself to save face.

Mostly, it was because Ji Siyuan had developed a bit of "love the house and its crow" (or in this case, hate the house and its crow) regarding Ma Xiaotao.

In reality, Ji Siyuan chose to give it up directly. "I don't want this Soul Bone."

"Why?" His choice tugged at the hearts of countless people watching him.

Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao were especially eager to know the reason. After all, a Soul Bone was a high-tier combat asset.

Lin Huiqun, watching from the shadows, had been very satisfied with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, as they had chosen the Soul Bones. But when it came to Ji Siyuan, she felt there was no need to watch.

Yet, the place she felt most at ease had produced the biggest problem. This left her somewhat at a loss. How could it be that Ji Siyuan didn't want it?

That was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, not a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. The difference in value was worlds apart. Countless people couldn't even see one, let alone buy one.

It wasn't just her; Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan all shared the same confusion: "Why?"

At this moment, everyone around him had one question: why refuse it?

"Simply because I don't like it, so I don't need it." The person receiving the highest treatment refused to obtain the Soul Bone, and that was the only reason?

Huo Yuhao chose to believe his explanation, but he didn't understand: "Siyuan, perhaps you could give it a try!"

Lin Huiqun was completely flustered. What was this? She had been lying in wait for two days just to find the owner for this Soul Bone. And the result was that he looked down on it?

She even wanted to step in personally and force them to refine it, but she held back.

Ji Siyuan looked at Huo Yuhao: "Obtaining a Soul Bone is indeed a way to increase combat power, but that doesn't mean I would be very excited about it."

Two of the three Soul Bones had fallen into their hands; could the remaining one just be left to go to waste?

"Are there any cultivation rooms here?"

It was better to absorb the Soul Bone, and this place was safe enough. Obtaining the Soul Bone would allow him to better improve himself.
