"As expected, privileges are damn useful, especially in a world far removed from material abundance."

"Come to think of it, in the original story, Wang Yan bringing the Shrek reserve team to the Starlight Auction House to broaden their horizons was truly a bit of a grievance for him."

"No, wait. Wang Yan brought the reserve team members at that time to attend the lowest-tier auction, which could provide them with ready-made Soul Tools to bolster their combat power... Could this also have been part of his calculations?"

Seeing Mu En skip the auction process entirely and purchase the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade from the Starlight Auction House staff at a price lower than the starting bid, You Jie couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, this was certainly because Mu En had directly revealed his identity as a member of the Sea God Pavilion, and also because the people at the Starlight Auction House were desperate to get rid of this unsellable item.

Otherwise, even for someone from the Sea God Pavilion, buying an auction item in advance would require paying no less than the starting bid, even if the starting price for the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade—a Ranking Engraving Knife—had already plummeted to rock bottom.

After purchasing the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade, Mu En did not take You Jie and Zhang Lexuan back to Shrek Academy, but instead booked a luxury suite at the Star Emperor Hotel as a temporary place to stay.

Although Mu En looked like an honest man, he was no less experienced in matters between men and women than Dai Mubai had been back in the day.

Even now that he was old and frail, he would not pass up an opportunity to assist You Jie and Zhang Lexuan, bringing them a novel experience.

Looking at the layout of the suite's largest bedroom, which was easily enough to make one's blood boil, even though You Jie had never personally visited such a place in either of his two lives, he could recognize the style from various works of art.

Coupled with Mu En's kind, smiling face and Zhang Lexuan, who couldn't help but gently lick her lips, the corners of You Jie's mouth twitched, mirroring the expression Juggler wore when his subordinates wanted to dissect him.

But to be honest, the feeling of being "eaten" by Zhang Lexuan was quite good, and she wouldn't completely devour him dry either.

But for now...

"Mystic Ancestor, can you let me purify that Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade now?"

The smile on Mu En's face faded slightly, but he still took the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade out of the storage Soul Tool provided by the Starlight Auction House, wrapped it in his profound soul power, and handed it to You Jie.

When You Jie grasped the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade, he immediately felt a wave of evil thoughts gushing out from within, attempting to invade his spiritual sea along his arm.

However, the next moment, as the phantom of the Dark Red Demon Dragon appeared beside You Jie, the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade immediately became much more docile, and the evil thoughts that had emerged vanished without a trace.

At the same time, in You Jie's spiritual sea, Electrolux appeared once again, peering at the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade with great interest through You Jie's vision.

"Oh? Life Gold? I didn't expect you, You Jie, to find such a good thing."

"Elder Eli, if possible, could you please..."

You Jie communicated something to Electrolux through his spiritual power. Electrolux first showed a hint of surprise, then a look of keen interest.

The next moment, You Jie looked at the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade in his hand, and one yellow and two purple soul rings appeared on his right arm, his third soul ring shining brilliantly.

"A mere Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade, and you dare to show off before me?

"Third Soul Skill, Solemn Judgment!"

You Jie's third soul ring transformed into a giant purple card. In the image, an old man in grey robes with white hair raised his left hand calmly, as if rejecting something.

Solemn JudgmentElectrolux version.

The Holy Necromancer was also a god; he could purify evil spirits and render their effects completely null and void. Naturally, this was also a Solemn Judgment.

As for why the card art of the Electrolux version of Solemn Judgment was different from the original...

First, there is something called an alternate art.

Second, aside from showing off, You Jie would never let an activated card manifest in front of others in such a way.

Therefore, even if Huo Yuhao could use spiritual detection in the future to achieve effects comparable to the new cards Pegasus printed overnight to counter transmigrators, You Jie was not worried about any problems arising.

The next moment, a grey light shot out from Electrolux's left hand and landed on the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade.

The Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade immediately began to tremble violently, emitting a buzzing sound like a shrill scream.

"To think there are fools who would inject evil thoughts and curses into Life Gold. This is what you call 'world-shaking wisdom,' You Jie?

"This method doesn't even bring out the most basic abilities of the Life Gold. I truly wonder what the perpetrator was thinking."

Electrolux couldn't help but think to himself, then increased the output of the purifying light. The light shifted from grey to pure white, and the light-attribute energy contained within it was enough to shock even Mu En.

Ultimate Light! It was the Ultimate Light!

Bathed in the white light, the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade, realizing it was about to be "transcended," stopped trembling and instead launched a final, desperate resistance.

A thick green light suddenly erupted from the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade, forming a ferocious face in the air that roared madly, as if trying to turn the tables and devour the slender white light emitted by Electrolux.

But it didn't matter, because it was completely useless.

If anything, this final struggle of the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade, by concentrating all the evil within it, actually made it easier for Electrolux to perform the final purification.

In less than a minute, the final remnants of evil had been purified by Electrolux, and the Spirit-Devouring Evil Blade revealed its true, original form.

The originally pitch-black blade had turned into a vibrant, emerald green, and a vast, pure life force began to radiate from it.

Mu En immediately felt his body become more vigorous, and the baleful energy he had to struggle to suppress within his body seemed to have diminished as well.

Zhang Lexuan's reaction was equally profound. The damage caused by that incident with the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder had been terrifying. Although she had recovered her health with the help of Shrek Academy and You Jie, that was only compared to an ordinary person.

Compared to the health she should have possessed, Zhang Lexuan was still in a sub-healthy state.

But the life force radiating from the engraving knife was even purer than that of the Golden Ancient Tree. Even a tiny bit of it made Zhang Lexuan feel incomparably comfortable, almost causing her to make some embarrassing sounds.

As for You Jie, the holder of the knife, even though he hadn't fused with it yet, he was the first to benefit from being close to the source. The consumption from using Solemn Judgment was easily offset by the replenishment of life force from the Life Gold.

In fact, You Jie felt that his current state was so excellent that he even had the feeling he could take the initiative in the upcoming "night battle."

And then...

You Jie understood one thing.

Your Senior Sister might not always be your Senior Sister, but your Sister Lexuan will always be your Sister Lexuan.
