Ning Liu awakens with the most useless Glazed Pagoda, only to be kicked out by the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect to a remote small town, where he inherits a Grade D auction house in Suo Tuo City!
<...The rest area of the Liulitian team.
Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and looked around at the three team members in front of her.
"Cheer up, everyone."
"The championship of this Continental Elite Tournament for Advanced Soul Master Academies must belong to us."
"We have this confidence, and we must have this confidence, you understand?"
Below the stage, Yang Wudi remained expressionless, quietly wiping the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand.
Tailong and Bai Chenxiang exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat forced.
Tyrone scratched his head and spoke first.
"Young Miss..."
"Don't call me Miss."
Ning Rongrong immediately interrupted him, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Call me Captain."
Tyrone grinned and changed his tune.
"Captain, I know that our Liuli Tian is powerful now."
"However, in this competition, all the other academies with any decent teams have Soul Masters."
"There are only four of us here. Chen Xiang is still a Great Soul Master, I just broke through to Soul Venerable, and Yang Wudi is only level 33."
Will this work?
Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang quietly echoed his words.
"Yes, Captain, I've heard that some top academies have three or four Soul Masters in their teams!"
Ning Rongrong let out a soft hum.
"Don't you all know how powerful my senior brother is?"
Tailong had an honest and simple look on his face.
"The sect leader is certainly powerful, but shouldn't soul power cultivation be done step by step? We've had far too little time."
"Oh."
Ning Rongrong let out a sneer.
"You're just a little short-sighted."
With a flick of her wrist, several exquisite jade bottles appeared in her palm.
"Look what this is?"
Ning Rongrong distributed the jade bottles one by one, one for each person.
Tyrone uncorked the bottle, and a strange, sweet fragrance instantly filled the air.
Inside the bottle, three pills, each the size of a longan, lay quietly, their round shapes emitting a faint glow.
As the fragrance entered his nostrils, he felt his soul power begin to stir subtly.
"It smells so good."
Tyrone couldn't resist the urge to just pour it out.
"What is this? Can I eat it?"
Ning Rongrong raised her chin slightly.
"This is called the Soul Power Enhancement Pill."
"Eating it will directly increase your soul power by one level, without any side effects."
"A pill like this sold for 200,000 gold soul coins at the auction!"
Tyrone's hand froze in mid-air.
Two hundred thousand per coin?
So, three of these in one bottle... wouldn't that be 600,000 gold soul coins?
He felt as if the jade bottle in his hand weighed a ton.
"Six...six hundred thousand?"
Tyrone's voice was trembling.
"My God! Before, my Power Clan's entire year's income was less than half of this amount."
Ning Rongrong chuckled.
"You don't need to worry about the money."
"These pills were given to you by your senior brother. Please feel free to take them."
"Three pills per person, once consumed, will provide a full level three of soul power!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Wudi, who had been silent all along, had already made a move.
Without the slightest hesitation, he poured out a pill and threw it into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a powerful and pure torrent of soul power that swept over his entire body in an instant.
Then, Yang Wudi's soul power surged suddenly.
He broke through the bottleneck of his original level 33 soul power.
Level 34!
Tailong and Bai Chenxiang felt the surge of energy emanating from Yang Wudi, exchanged a glance, and followed Yang Wudi's example, swallowing the first pill.
Tyrone felt completely refreshed. The bottleneck that had been there for months of arduous training after breaking through level 31 had vanished instantly.
Level 32!
Bai Chenxiang's petite body trembled slightly as her soul power jumped directly from level 25 to level 26.
Without stopping, the three of them swallowed the remaining two pills in succession.
Only after the energy of the last pill was completely absorbed did the fluctuations in soul power within the resting room gradually subside.
Yang Wudi opened his eyes, feeling the abundant power within his body.
Level 36!
Tailong is level 34! Bai Chenxiang is level 28!
"This is so...so awesome!"
Tyrone was somewhat excited.
"If I took a few more pills, wouldn't I become a Soul Master in no time?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him.
"Dream on."
"Each person can only eat a maximum of three of these in their lifetime."
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
Li An pushed open the door and entered. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the three people in the room whose soul power was surging, but he quickly returned to normal.
He bowed deeply to Ning Rongrong.
"Young Miss, the Sect Master has ordered you to take the members of the Glazed Sky Team and go to him."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.
"Senior brother is looking for us?"
She immediately clapped her hands and addressed the three excited people.
"It seems my senior brother has something good for us again!"
"Let's go!"
...
at the same time.
Inside a VIP lounge at the auction house.
A group of female students from Tianshui Academy were sitting together, each with a different expression.
"The dean has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Yeah, she wouldn't really try to renege on those two million two hundred thousand gold soul coins, would she?"
"What if... what if we offend Liuli Tian?"
Shuiyue'er is also somewhat inaccurate.
"Sister, do you think the dean's actions were too impulsive?"
"If we mess this up, our Tianshui Academy will be in trouble..."
Shui Bing'er sat quietly without saying a word.
"Squeak—"
The door was pushed open, and the dean of Tianshui College walked in with a warm smile.
"Everything has been agreed upon."
Without saying a word, the dean flipped his wrist, and a jade box appeared in his hand, which he then tossed gently.
The jade box landed steadily in front of Shui Bing'er.
"Bing'er, this is your destiny."
Shui Bing'er opened the jade box, and an extreme chill rushed out.
A crystal-clear, octagonal fairy herb, sculpted from ice crystals, lay quietly inside.
It was that ancient, eight-cornered ice grass.
The moment the immortal herb appeared, Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul began to operate on its own, uncontrollably.
A powerful longing arose from the depths of my soul.
I feel that as long as I absorb this immortal herb, my martial spirit and soul power will be significantly improved!
Immediately, she almost couldn't resist circulating her soul power to absorb it.
"Don't rush."
The dean raised his hand to stop her.
"Put the things away first."
Then, she paused, her gaze sweeping over Shui Bing'er before landing on Shui Yue'er beside her.
"The Sect Master of Liulitian said, Bing'er, Yue'er, you two, come with me to see him now."
