Absorption! The Second Auction Item!

Ning Liu's consciousness withdrew from the clamor of the auction house and focused on the cold, mechanical voice in his mind.

Now, his greatest reliance was this system.

Every successful auction could bring a return at a random multiplier.

It was just that, in his view, the multiplier really depended a bit too much on luck.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received a 1000x return and obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Bewitching Fox Head Bone!

One thousand times!

Ning Liu's breath stopped abruptly.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Speaking of which, he had hardly even seen an actual Soul Bone with his own eyes before, let alone owned one.

Now, the system had directly rewarded him with one that was a hundred thousand years old!

If this were taken out for auction, the entire Heaven Dou Empire would probably go mad over it.

Those Titled Douluo would likely be unable to sit still.

Of course, selling it was out of the question.

A supreme treasure like this, if its skills were suitable, should naturally be kept for himself to absorb.

Ning Liu's thoughts stirred.

A cluster of gentle light appeared in the void before him.

When the light dispersed, an exquisitely crafted head bone hovered quietly.

The head bone had an overall crystalline, translucent texture, carrying a mysterious golden flow of light.

Its surface was not smooth, but covered in profound and intricate patterns.

Looking closely, those patterns actually faintly outlined the illusory form of a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, vivid and lifelike, its eyes seeming to flicker with the light of wisdom and bewitchment.

Even more strands of fox-tail-shaped purple-gold halos flowed within the head bone, like living things, giving off energy fluctuations that made one's heart tremble and adding a touch more eeriness and nobility.

Soul Bone Name: Bewitching Fox Head Bone (Hundred Thousand Year)

Absorbing the Soul Bone can grant a large increase in Spiritual Power.

Ning Liu's attention was completely drawn to this Soul Bone.

An increase in Spiritual Power was exactly what he currently lacked.

His martial soul was the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Its support abilities were powerful, but its demands on a soul master's own Spiritual Power were also extremely high.

Soul Bone Skill One: Bewitching Heart Unity.

Effect: Passive skill. Allows the Host to become immune to 99% of Mental-type control soul skill effects.

The immunity effect will fluctuate according to the gap in Spiritual Power between the two sides. When the Host's Spiritual Power far exceeds the opponent's, complete immunity is possible; when the opponent's Spiritual Power far exceeds the Host's, the immunity effect will be correspondingly weakened.

On Douluo Continent, although Mental-type soul masters were rare, every single one of them was extremely troublesome.

Even without counting Mental-type soul masters, there were also many soul masters whose soul rings had effects such as dizziness and confusion!

Looking at it this way, this skill was extremely practical.

Soul Bone Skill Two: Bewitching Soul Divine Domain.

Effect: Active skill. Launches an indiscriminate mental attack on all enemies within a designated range.

Those hit will be forcibly plunged into the "mental illusion" they fear most or desire most in their hearts, unable to free themselves.

The Host may actively draw out the Spiritual Power dissipating from those trapped in the illusion to replenish his own consumption. The duration of the illusion and the strength of its control depend on the gap in Spiritual Power between the two sides.

As Ning Liu looked at the skill description, his eyes immediately lit up.

Group control, and it could even absorb the opponent's Spiritual Power to replenish his own.

This was practically a Divine Skill!

"As expected of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

Ning Liu praised it, then sat down cross-legged without the slightest hesitation.

He reached out and gently touched the Bewitching Fox Head Bone hovering before him.

The Soul Bone felt warm and smooth to the touch, without the slightest chill. Instead, it carried a strange warm current.

The next moment, the head bone turned into a streak of purple-gold light and instantly entered Ning Liu's brow.

A vast yet not violent energy filled his spiritual sea in an instant.

Ning Liu's body trembled slightly.

He closed his eyes and circulated his Soul Power with all his might, guiding this energy to merge with himself.

The process of absorbing a Soul Bone was completely different from the pain of absorbing a soul ring.

There was no tearing agony; instead, there was more of an indescribable comfort.

His spiritual world was like a pond that had long been dried up, now nourished by an endless flow of sweet spring water.

His consciousness seemed to drift within a warm, purple-gold ocean, every thought growing incomparably clear, incomparably active.

The process did not last very long.

When Ning Liu opened his eyes again, he felt as though the entire world had become different.

The clamor within the auction hall now became distinct and layered in his ears; every tiny sound could be easily caught by him.

"My Spiritual Power..."

Ning Liu could clearly sense that the strength of his Spiritual Power had increased by at least tenfold!

This improvement was undoubtedly a Qualitative Leap.

What surprised him even more was that, since it was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, after absorbing it, the Soul Power within his body began to surge wildly.

The bottleneck was silently broken through.

Rank fifty!

His Soul Power had actually broken straight through from his previous rank forty-eight to rank fifty in one go after absorbing this Soul Bone!

This was truly an unexpected delight.

Ning Liu moved his body a little, his mood refreshed to the extreme.

Afterward, he turned his gaze back toward the display platform below the auction hall.

The return from the first auction item had brought him such an enormous improvement; he now looked forward to the things that came next even more.

At this moment, on the auction stage, Doudou had already begun introducing the second auction item.

Her voice was still sweet and moving, filled with temptation.

"Honored guests, the competition for the Bewitching Fox Head Bone just now was fierce, which shows everyone's enthusiasm for rare treasures."

"The next auction item is likewise extraordinary."

With a wave of Doudou's jade-like hand, a maid behind her walked up gracefully, carrying a jade tray covered with red cloth.

"This item is called Jade Spring."

"It was discovered by chance by a senior Soul Master in a mysterious valley deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, a place rarely visited by humans."

"That valley is like spring all year round, with flowers blooming everywhere, and the spring source of this Jade Spring is located at the center of the valley."

Doudou's voice carried a trace of mystery.

"According to that senior's account, the water of this Jade Spring is emerald green, clear to the bottom, and gives off a refreshing, extraordinary fragrance."

"Within it, there is even an extremely pure Life Energy."

"Drinking this spring water can not only nourish the body and cleanse the meridians, but can also effectively repair hidden injuries accumulated in the body over many years!"

"It even has the miraculous effect of extending life for some elderly Soul Masters whose vital energy and blood have declined!"

Doudou paused, leaving everyone time to digest her words.

"Of course, everything has its limits. Although this Jade Spring is wondrous, its effects are not especially strong, nor are they that obvious for everyone!"

"But even so, for most Soul Masters, being able to repair hidden injuries, nourish the body, and live a few more years is already a priceless treasure."

As soon as she finished speaking, before she even announced the starting price, a faint commotion had already spread through the ordinary seats below, and even through some of the VIP boxes.

Repair hidden injuries!

Extend life!

These two phrases held a fatal attraction for any Soul Master!
