Intercepting the Gold of Life—Please Bookmark, Recommend, Vote, and Tip

The guardian of the Soul Devouring Evil Blade, an expert at the Soul Douluo level, stood up and hurriedly asked, "Young prodigy, have you heard the story of the Soul Devouring Evil Blade?"

The Sun Moon Auction House was quite proper. If Qin Fang had not heard of it, he would explain it to him.

Seeing Qin Fang nod, the Soul Douluo-level expert said, "Since you have heard of it, I will not repeat myself. Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins, and you can take it."

To be honest, fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins was truly not expensive for the Ranked List Engraving Knife.

However, Qin Fang was somewhat embarrassed. Forget fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins—even ten thousand was beyond him. Grandpa Long Xiaoyao had given him some living expenses, but it was only a few thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Ju Zi looked at Qin Fang and asked, "Qin Fang, do you really want it?"

When Qin Fang nodded, Ju Zi pondered for a moment and took a mysterious token from her clothes. Before she could spread it open, the Soul Douluo tightly gripped her hand, seemingly unwilling to let it see the light of day.

Seeing Ju Zi obediently put it away, the Soul Douluo said, "Given the current situation, this token is not worth fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Ju Zi looked somewhat dejected. Right, its owner was currently at the lowest point of his life. How could it have any value?

Ju Zi looked at Qin Fang sadly and said, "Qin Fang, I may not be able to help you."

Qin Fang smiled at her. "Thank you, Ju Zi."

Ju Zi's action reminded Qin Fang of something.

The next second, Qin Fang took the Holy Spirit Cult Saint Son's token from his Storage Soul Tool and said, "I wonder whether this token can get me this engraving knife."

The Soul Douluo was puzzled. Hm? What token was this? He rapidly searched through his memories. Could Qin Fang be some noble scion from a powerful family?

Just then, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo stepped into the area. Seeing Qin Fang's predicament, he walked straight over, helped him tuck the Saint Son's token back into his clothes, and transmitted, "Saint Son? You cannot buy this Soul Devouring Evil Blade."

This Saint Son token had been newly engraved for Qin Fang. Other than members of the Holy Spirit Cult, how could outsiders know of it? Besides, the Holy Spirit Cult was still hidden underground and had not yet emerged into the world.

The Scorpion Tiger Douluo made a mysterious hand gesture. Seven or eight soul masters who had seen the token and intended to help the Saint Son out of his predicament stopped in their tracks, then smiled and blended back into the crowd.

Upon seeing the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, the Soul Douluo-level expert visibly straightened his back. This was a Titled Douluo—the realm he had dreamed of attaining.

Qin Fang looked at the Scorpion Tiger Douluo and said, "Uncle Scorpion Tiger, please help me buy it. I truly need it. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Seeing Qin Fang's determination, Scorpion Tiger smiled. "Fine, I'll buy it for you. But you must not use it. It would be best to show it to your teacher and ask her to unravel the secret of this Soul Devouring Evil Blade."

Qin Fang smiled and nodded. "Uncle Scorpion Tiger, I will."

The Soul Douluo guard trembled. He called a Titled Douluo uncle, and the Titled Douluo showed such respect when mentioning his teacher. This child had quite the background.

Ju Zi was stunned as well. Ah, could Qin Fang's teacher be a Titled Douluo? Would that not make her a ninth-level soul engineer? If so, Teacher Xuan Ziwen's hopes of taking Qin Fang as a disciple were completely dashed.

The Scorpion Tiger Douluo tossed the Soul Douluo guard a black card. "Run the card."

The Soul Douluo guard smiled as he accepted it with both hands, took out a delicate Soul Tool, and swiped it. Ding. Seeing that the transaction had gone through, he said, "Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to the Sun Moon Auction House again."

The Scorpion Tiger Douluo handed the Soul Devouring Evil Blade, along with its sealing Soul Tool, to Qin Fang and repeatedly warned him, "Do not open it before your teacher is present."

After saying that, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo left. From the looks of it, he was more interested in that Soul Bone.

Only when Qin Fang inspected it up close did he see that the Soul Devouring Evil Blade was entirely black, though cyan light flickered across it. It felt profoundly restless.

Qin Fang stored the Soul Devouring Evil Blade in his Storage Soul Tool, then looked at Ju Zi and said, "Ju Zi, I'll be leaving first. You can keep looking around."

After Qin Fang left, Ju Zi also found it boring and returned to the dormitory area.

Inside the Single Dormitory.

Qin Fang awakened Electrolux and said, "Senior, I bought the engraving knife you wanted. Can you tell me what is so extraordinary about it?"

Although Qin Fang had long known about the Gold of Life, he still needed to go through the motions.

Electrolux suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "This is a piece of pure Gold of Life. It is an extremely precious item. What a waste—what an utter waste. The one who forged this engraving knife likely sensed the immense energy within the Gold of Life, yet had no idea how to make it release its true potential."

"That was why he injected evil thoughts and curses into the Gold of Life, attempting to use his feeble strength to pry loose, even guide out, that tremendous power within the Gold of Life. Foolish. What a truly foolish idea."

"If he possessed my strength, he might have succeeded in switching between the two without loss. But he must have died many years ago."

"Nourished by the Gold of Life, the power of evil and curses grew ever stronger. That was why every one of its owners died suddenly."

Electrolux explained it to Qin Fang in detail, his words dripping with mockery.

Qin Fang asked curiously again, "Senior Electrolux, what is the Gold of Life? What does it do?"

A trace of reminiscence entered Electrolux's voice. "Simply put, the most fundamental power of living beings is vitality. The Gold of Life is vitality in a solidified, purified form. It is a heavenly treasure that can only emerge after unimaginably vast vitality gathers together and is nurtured over tens of thousands of years."

"I originally did not belong to your world, but to another parallel space. However, no matter which world it is in, the Gold of Life is the same. The vast vitality contained within it provides unparalleled assistance to any living being. A living being represents one life, but a piece of Gold of Life represents an entire world."

After hearing this, Qin Fang revealed a shocked expression. "Senior Electrolux, can you break the curse on the Gold of Life?"

Electrolux sounded proud. "Purify it? That is far too easy. Kid, help me open the seal."

Qin Fang's fingers moved deftly as he opened the seal on the Soul Tool.

The moment the seal opened, Qin Fang's body shook violently. His vision went dark, and the Soul Devouring Evil Blade seemed to turn into a boundless black hole, madly Devouring his Spiritual Power. An extremely cold aura, accompanied by terrifying ferocity, burrowed toward his Spiritual Sea.

Qin Fang felt as though his Spiritual Power had been gouged open and split into two. The feeling was utterly unpleasant, as if his head were being forcibly cut apart.

Was it really this terrifying? Electrolux moved, taking control of Qin Fang's body in an instant. Deathly Stillness glimmered in Qin Fang's eyes, yet within that Deathly Stillness was an incomparably pure, bright, and holy aura. It was exactly the same as the aura of Qin Fang's two Martial Souls.
