Forest Wolf Spirit Bone

Seeing that no one spoke, the Tang Sect elder who had spoken earlier sat back down awkwardly.

The final selling price of the pills reached 45 million. It was not a low price, and Li Moxun was quite satisfied with it.

Although this price could not buy a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Herb, such herbs were only worth around ten million Federal Coin.

It was just that, to the Federation, spirit herbs were strategic resources and extremely difficult to obtain, which was why they could not simply be bought.

After the three bottles of pills were sold, the next two auction items were both Soul Bones.

The first was a thousand-year Soul Bone produced by the Spirit Pagoda.

It was a Soul Bone generated by a soul beast within the Spirit Ascension Platform. It was somewhat similar to an Electronic Spirit Bone and could be stored through data streams, but it still counted as a genuine Soul Bone.

This Soul Bone ultimately sold for around 16 million.

The second was a normal Soul Bone, and a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone at that.

Li Moxun did not care at all about the introduction to this Soul Bone, but he participated in the bidding for it as well.

"This comes from a wolf-type soul beast known as the forest wolf. It is a relatively common type of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. The starting bid is 7.5 million. Bidding begins now."

As the young man spoke, he did not cover the Soul Bone. Instead, he displayed it openly for everyone to inspect.

As Li Moxun looked at the Soul Bone, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Its quality did not matter to him. As long as it was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, that was enough.

Whether it was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone or a thousand-year Soul Bone, he needed them both.

"I bid 8.5 million."

"I bid 9 million Federal Coin."

"9.5 million Federal Coin."

"I bid 10 million. That is already no small price. For truly talented Soul Masters, this kind of ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is not as valuable as a suitable Soul Bone. This is already its limit."

The speaker was an elderly man. His voice was calm, but he made no effort to conceal the aura of a Soul Sage emanating from his body.

One had to know that over these past ten thousand years, almost no soul beasts had produced Soul Bones. Most soul beasts had been completely hunted down by the Spirit Pagoda.

Thus, aside from inheriting Soul Bones from their forebears, people mainly obtained them by hunting high-level soul beasts within the Spirit Pagoda and hoping for a Soul Bone to drop.

Therefore, for a Forest Wolf Spirit Bone produced within the past ten thousand years, practical questions remained: how much vitality it retained and whether it could still be used by a Soul Master.

Unlike Electronic Spirit Bones, which could be permanently stored, normal Soul Bones could not currently be judged by conventional standards at all.

Thus, 10 million was indeed roughly the ceiling price for this Soul Bone. However, Li Moxun's expression did not change in the slightest upon hearing the old man's words.

He was not buying this Soul Bone to fuse with it, so he did not care whether it could be used or how much vitality it retained.

"I bid 12 million."

Li Moxun's voice was soft and calm.

Hearing him speak, especially when a young voice rose immediately after his own words fell, the old man's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Then he saw the figure there, wearing a veiled hat.

The figure's build gave no indication of gender, but judging by the voice, it was unmistakably a woman.

Yet when Li Moxun sensed the old man's gaze, there was no change in his eyes.

This avatar of his would dissipate in two days at most. Once he obtained the Soul Bone, he could teleport away, so he was not worried.

Thus, he paid no attention whatsoever to the old man's earlier threat and did not take it to heart at all.

After Li Moxun called out a price of 12 million Federal Coin, the old man abruptly fell silent. Even though he wanted to compete for it, he ultimately remained quiet.

Upon hearing that price, the young man onstage also had a smile in his eyes.

"12 million, going once. 12 million, going twice. 12 million, going three times. Sold!"

With the transaction complete, the young man smiled and moved on to the next auction item.

The following items were instead less rare than the earlier ones, as they were mecha blueprints and standardized Battle Armor design plans.

These things were difficult to acquire outside, but for talented mecha designers and Battle Armor designers, they were not particularly difficult.

As the transactions concluded, several maidservants slowly stepped forward one after another, carrying their respective auction items and handing them to the buyers.

Li Moxun also received his savings card, along with this Ten Thousand Year Forest Wolf Spirit Bone.

Holding the Soul Bone and savings card, Li Moxun slipped his hand into his black robe.

As an illusory rift opened and terrifying power swept forth, the two items vanished completely in less than half a second.

Li Moxun remained seated where he was, his expression calm.

The final few auction items were sold quickly. Once every item at the auction had been sold, the crowd left the auction house.

Wearing hooded hats and taking different routes, they easily departed from the area.

However, not long after Li Moxun left, he sensed a fierce killing intent lock onto him in an instant.

The killing intent was powerful and utterly undisguised. Clearly, the other party was connected to this auction house somehow; otherwise, they could not have found him so easily.

When Li Moxun turned around, an extremely aged old man stood in the shadows.

The old man's expression was calm, but his eyes held a chilling coldness.

"It seems Senior intends to take my life. May I ask who you are, Senior? What is your esteemed name? At least let me die knowing the truth."

Li Moxun's voice was soft. His indifferent gaze rested on the old man, and he did not care about the death of this avatar.

After all, once it died, he could condense another avatar as early as tomorrow or as late as the day after. And the next one would not be a support-type Spirit Word with no power to resist.

Therefore, he truly did not care about this avatar's death. He cared more about the other party's name, hoping to probe it out and confirm the man's identity.

As the old man looked at Li Moxun—or rather, at a dead man—his eyes held only mockery.

After all, in his mind, Li Moxun was already dead.

So he smiled at Li Moxun.

"This old man is from the Tang Sect of Skysea City. You need not know who I am, because I have blocked off the surroundings with a special Soul Tool."

"None of your means of communication can get out. All right, boy, die. This old man will bury you."

As the old man spoke, he raised his hand. A short spear appeared in it, and then he leaped forward, thrusting the terrifying short spear directly at Li Moxun.

Seeing the certainty of victory in the old man's eyes, Li Moxun merely shook his head calmly.

Then he placed his hand on his own head. The next second, he snapped the neck of his own avatar.

As the body fell to the ground, illusory power spread through it, and the entire body turned into foam that filled the sky in a short time.

As he watched the foam, the old man's pupils suddenly contracted. Disbelief filled his eyes, followed by a sharp gleam.
