The auction ended and the people in the hall gradually dispersed.
Lin Yaoyang took the bidding number and walked towards the counter.
Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao followed him. Their masks had not yet been taken off, only the lower half of their faces were exposed.
The waitress behind the counter saw his number plate, took out an exquisite wooden box from the safe, and handed it over with both hands.
"Sir, this is the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife you took."
Lin Yaoyang took the wooden box and opened it.
The carving knife lay quietly on the dark blue velvet cloth, completely black and without reflection.
It is smaller and lighter than imagined, more like a delicate piece of art than a murder weapon.
He closed the wooden box and pocketed Storage Soul Tool.
In the Spirit Sea, the voice of Electrolux rang.
"Little friend, there seems to be something wrong with your Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife..."
Lin Yaoyang responded in his heart, "I know. It contains the evil thoughts and curse of Evil Soul Master. The carving knife itself is made of Gold of Life."
"Gold of Life?" There was a hint of interest in Electrolux's voice, "Do you also know this kind of metal?"
"Know a thing or two."
Electrolux was silent for a moment.
"Gold of Life, this thing is of great use to me and you."
"When you get back, I will help you purify this carving knife. I will deal with the curses and evil thoughts on the carving knife."
Lin Yaoyang said in his heart, "Then thank you Elder Electrolux."
He didn't ask any more questions or push me.
At the door of the VIP seats backstage, Xu Jiujiu stood there, his eyes falling on the back of Lin Yaoyang.
She recognized him.
His conspicuous orange-red hair and his irresistible temperament.
A person can change his appearance and his voice, but it's hard to hide what's deep inside.
The boy who made her look at him in the corridor was now standing in front of the counter in the lobby, followed by three girls who also wore masks.
Xu Jiujiu's curiosity was aroused.
She asked someone to check the details of Lin Yaoyang.
No other information is known except that he came to Star Luo City some time ago and was accompanied by three girls.
Where are you from? What is your background?
None can be found.
A person who can't find out the details either really has no background, or the background is so big that she can't find out.
Xu Jiujiu grew up in the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, and had seen too many children of aristocratic families and geniuses Soul Master. Her intuition told her that this boy was not the former.
But she couldn't find a reason to approach him.
It would be too deliberate to step forward rashly. It would be too artificial to pretend to meet by chance.
Xu Jiujiu withdrew his gaze and turned back to the background.
Lin Yaoyang After paying the money, he was about to leave when his footsteps suddenly paused.
He turned his head and asked the waitress behind the counter, "By the way, do you have any higher-level auctions during this time?"
The attendant hesitated for a moment.
Starlight Auction House's top auction is only open to Black Level customers. Lin Yaoyang's certificate is only for yellow-level customers, so they are not eligible to participate.
"Sir, the top auction requires Black Level..."
"Now is the grand event of the continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy elite competition. Starlight Auction House can make an exception for our distinguished guests."
A gentle and elegant voice came from behind.
Lin Yaoyang turned around.
A young woman walked out of the VIP aisle. She looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure.
The red dress and gauze set off her icy skin, giving her an unreal feeling of perfection. Her steps were calm and confident, and her brows carried the calmness of someone who has been in power for a long time.
Xu Jiujiu.
Behind her were Qingya and several maids. Qingya lowered his head slightly, looking respectful.
Lin Yaoyang looked at her and nodded slightly.
"Princess Star Luo Empire? I have long admired your name."
Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Oh? Your distinguished guest doesn't look like a Star Luo Empire person, has he heard of me?"
"Haha, of course..."
Lin Yaoyang paused.
"No."
Xu Jiujiu's smile froze for a moment.
Lin Yaoyang didn't pay attention to her expression, took out a Gold Soul Coin card from Storage Soul Tool, and handed it over.
"This is part of my estate. Please check."
Qingya took the card at the signal of Xu Jiujiu and walked to the detector next to it.
After a while, she walked back respectfully and handed the card back to Lin Yaoyang with both hands.
"Sir, there is no problem with your assets. We will prepare an invitation letter for you later."
Lin Yaoyang nodded.
"Thank you."
Qingya arranged for the attendant to prepare the invitation letter. Xu Jiujiu did not leave. She stood aside, her eyes stayed on Lin Yaoyang for a few seconds, and then moved to the three girls beside him.
Although they all wore masks, covering half of their faces, it could be seen that they all looked good.
Xu Jiujiu sighed secretly in his heart.
Big pig hooves.
"I wonder where our distinguished guest is from?"
She withdrew her gaze and asked, "Are you also here to participate in this Soul Master Tournament?"
Lin Yaoyang shook his head.
"No. I didn't join the academy."
Xu Jiujiu is a little surprised.
If you don't join the academy, then you are free Soul Master? So young and rich, what are you doing here? Just watching the game?
She wanted to ask again, but the attendant had already returned with the invitation letter.
Xu Jiujiu took the gilded invitation from her hand and handed it to Lin Yaoyang.
"Welcome to our premier auction."
She smiled and said, "I hope there will be items you like."
Lin Yaoyang accepted the invitation and bowed slightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess. I will definitely do it."
He turned around and left the auction house with the three girls.
Xu Jiujiu stood there, watching his back disappear at the door, and was silent for a moment.
"Qingya."
"Here."
"Pay more attention to this person."
"Yes."
I returned to the hotel room, closed the door, and Lin Yaoyang sat on the bed.
He took out Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife from Storage Soul Tool.
The wooden box was opened, and the carving knife lay quietly on the flannel.
"Elder Electrolux," he called in his heart, "It's up to you."
"Okay."
Electrolux's voice is steady and calm.
Gray spiritual power surged out from Lin Yaoyang's Spirit Sea, shrouding Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife like mist.
The carving knife trembled suddenly.
A sharp buzzing sound came from the blade, like something was screaming miserably.
The sound was not loud, but it was extremely harsh, as if it could directly penetrate the eardrums and get into people's brains.
If you are a weak-willed person, your mood may be severely affected by hearing this voice.
But Lin Yaoyang looked as usual.
The gray spiritual power circulated on the surface of the carving knife for a moment, and suddenly changed color.
From gray to white.
From gloomy to holy.
The white light of purification fell on the carving knife, and the black blade trembled violently. The buzzing one after another became faster and sharper. It seemed like it was struggling, like resisting, and like pleading.
But Electrolux didn't stop.
The light of purification is getting stronger and brighter.
The last wisp of black air quietly dissipated from the carving knife.
The buzzing stopped suddenly.
The blade of the carving knife has changed.
The original dark body turned into a cyan crystal-like existence at this moment. The cyan light flowed on the blade, which was warm and clear, without a trace of impurities.
"Little friend,"
Electrolux's voice was a little tired, but more satisfied, "Put it on your forehead. No matter what happens later, you don't have to panic. Stay calm and leave everything to me."
"Okay."
Lin Yaoyang sticks Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife vertically between his eyebrows.
A strange aura was immediately released from his Spirit Sea, rushing out from the center of his eyebrows and pouring into the clinging carving knife.
In an instant, there was a bright blue light.
An extremely rich vitality, like a flood bursting from a dam, crazily poured into Lin Yaoyang's body through the center of his eyebrows.
At that moment, Lin Yaoyang's entire body was rendered cyan.
Unprecedented relief spread throughout the body.
He felt that every cell in his body was moaning happily, greedily absorbing the vigorous vitality emanating from the carving knife.
The meridians are expanding, the bones are strengthening, and the blood is boiling. That feeling is stronger than taking any natural treasure.
The carving knife left the center of the eyebrow.
The sharp tip was aimed at the center of his forehead, hovering there, trembling slightly, as if it was accumulating strength.
The next moment, the carving knife stabbed down suddenly.
The blade sank into the skull instantly.
There is no blood.
Only the more surging breath of life poured in from the wound, like a blue river, pouring into the Spirit Sea from his forehead, washing away every inch of Lin Yaoyang's consciousness.
Severe pain came.
But the severe pain was mixed with a strange pleasure, like bones being broken and then growing again, like meridians being torn and then being reconnected.
It hurts my heart, but it feels so satisfying.
The green carving knife that pierced his forehead began to soften, melt, and turned into a green liquid, which slowly flowed into his head along the wound.
Wherever the liquid passes, the bones and flesh seem to be rewoven by some force and put together in a completely new way.
Lin Yaoyang gritted his teeth and remained silent.
On his forehead, a third eye is slowly taking shape.
Eye of Life.
