Eighty-Thousand-Year Moon-Howling Suanni Left Leg Bone

"Good evening, esteemed guests. I am Ming Zhu, a Red-tier auctioneer of Starlight Auction House. I will be presiding over tonight's Level Two auction."

"Next, our auction officially begins. Please welcome our staff as they present today's first item."

As soon as she finished speaking, two young women in purple dresses pushed a cart onto the auction stage. It stopped precisely in the center, and the cloth covering it was gently lifted away.

"This is a Class Four soul power storage device, commonly known as a milk bottle. Both Soul Masters and soul engineers can use it. Its purpose is naturally to replenish soul power. Of course, when using this soul tool, you must concentrate fully on absorbing it. A friendly reminder: do not get distracted and use a milk bottle during battle~"

"I won't waste time with further introductions. I'm sure all our esteemed guests are already eager to begin. Bidding starts at six thousand Gold Soul Coins, with each bid increasing by no less than one hundred Gold Soul Coins."

As soon as she spoke, people below immediately began calling out higher bids.

A hint of interest appeared in Ye An's eyes as well.

Of course, he was not interested in the milk bottle itself. He was simply somewhat interested in soul tools—Du Busi had an extreme aversion to them, so there were practically no soul tools to be seen anywhere in the entire Body Sect.

Before this, aside from the storage soul tool Du Busi had given him, he had never come into contact with a single soul tool.

In truth, Ye An was not particularly opposed to soul tools. At the end of the day, they were merely tools, weapons. No matter what kind of weapon it was, as long as it could defeat an enemy, it was a good weapon.

What was more, soul tools were destined to keep developing and flourishing.

Of course, using soul tools was fine, but becoming a soul engineer was another matter entirely...

If he remembered correctly, becoming a soul engineer and crafting soul tools required drawing formation after formation. While his spiritual power was sufficient to support him becoming a soul engineer, drawing formations and all that...

Better forget it.

Everyone had their specialty. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Looking at it that way... it really did seem necessary to lure Huo Yuhao into the Body Sect as well. That guy's talent with soul tools was absolutely among the very best in Peerless Tang Clan.

How could he lure Huo Yuhao into the Body Sect while getting past Tang God-King...? That was a question worth pondering deeply. It would be great if the God of Destruction could cause Tang God-King more trouble and prevent him from interfering with the lower realm.

While Ye An was lost in thought, over half the items on stage had already been sold. Most of them were soul tools, along with things like whale glue.

"Next is the second-to-last item of today's auction, as well as tonight's grand finale. I believe this item will certainly exceed everyone's expectations."

As she spoke, the auctioneer named Ming Zhu gently lifted the cloth from the cart, revealing the item directly before everyone.

It was a silver-white Soul Bone, emitting faint specks of light as though bathed in moonlight. It was roughly two chi long, its surface smooth and translucent, with a streak of pearly-white radiance seeming to flow within it.

At the sight, Ye An instinctively tightened his grip on Zhang Lexuan's small hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"As you can see, this is a Soul Bone. According to the appraisal conducted by Starlight Auction House's experts, this is a left leg bone produced by the rare soul beast known as the Moon-Howling Suanni. Its age is... eighty thousand years."

"I'm sure I need not explain the preciousness of Soul Bones. Everyone here understands it well. However, there is one thing I must tell you: Moon-Howling Suannis excel in speed and spiritual power. If one can absorb this Soul Bone, their speed will definitely be greatly enhanced, and they may even gain a spiritual-type soul skill."

As she spoke, Ming Zhu paused slightly, as though giving the bidders below time to digest the information.

Sure enough, sharp intakes of breath immediately rang out from below.

Even Ye An had not expected it to be an eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone!

A look of longing appeared in Zhang Lexuan's eyes as well, but her expression soon returned to calm.

This eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone was bound to sell for an astronomical price. Leaving aside whether they had that much money, even if they did...

Ye An gently squeezed Zhang Lexuan's hand, then winked at her.

Zhang Lexuan was slightly stunned, but in the next moment, Ye An leaned closer and whispered into her ear, "Don't worry. Teacher gave me quite a bit of money before we left. It should be enough to buy this Soul Bone."

"Besides, don't forget that Heavenly Dragon Sect still owes us a debt. If Teacher makes a trip to Heavenly Dragon Sect, he might just squeeze all this money back out of them."

As he spoke, Ye An took out a black card from his storage ring.

Zhang Lexuan's earlobes reddened slightly. Just now, she had clearly felt the warm breath from Ye An's mouth brush against her ear, giving her a strangely burning sensation.

But her attention quickly shifted to the black card.

"But..."

"Don't worry. There are one hundred million Gold Soul Coins on this black card. Besides, you're the future sect master's wife. You're worth it."

As he spoke, Ye An could not help sighing inwardly.

The Body Sect really was filthy rich!

Du Busi had handed him one hundred million Gold Soul Coins without even blinking. That meant the Body Sect definitely possessed far more than just this one hundred million Gold Soul Coins. If Du Busi had been present when the Snow Empress Embryo was auctioned in the original story, the people from the Hall of Virtue might not have been able to take it away at all.

It was normal for the Hall of Virtue to have money. They could earn plenty simply by selling soul tools, not to mention the Hall of Virtue also had the support of the Sun Moon Empire.

But the Body Sect's wealth... that was purely the result of the efforts of generations of Body Sect masters. Of course, countless drops of hard-earned sweat were hidden behind it as well.

Working so hard to rob people—how was that not hard work?

"The final reminder I must give everyone is that this Soul Bone is most compatible with agility-type Soul Masters, spiritual-type Soul Masters, or Soul Masters whose Martial Souls possess the moon element. If other Soul Masters wish to absorb this Soul Bone, the effects may be somewhat reduced."

"The eighty-thousand-year Moon-Howling Suanni left leg bone is now officially up for auction. The starting bid is five million Gold Soul Coins, and each increase must be no less than five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The starting bid alone was five million Gold Soul Coins?

This price... seemed fairly reasonable.

If he remembered correctly, the seventy-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone Huo Yuhao obtained in the original story had ultimately sold for thirty million Gold Soul Coins. And that Soul Bone was only compatible with ice-type Soul Masters. This eighty-thousand-year Moon-Howling Suanni left leg bone would only cost more.
