[Ding! Congratulations, host! The 'Heart of the Deep Sea' has been successfully auctioned for five million gold soul coins!]

[Congratulations, host! You have triggered a 1000x return! Rewards are being generated.]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the divine artifact—'Wind-Fixing Pearl'!]

Just as Ning Rongrong's hammer fell, the system's voice arrived in Ning Liu's mind as expected.

It's here!

Ning Liu was certain in his heart, and on the surface he remained calm and composed, but the hand holding the teacup tightened almost imperceptibly at the knuckles.

[Item Description: The Wind-Stabilizing Pearl has the remarkable effect of suppressing the sea of ​​consciousness and stabilizing the soul.]

[Treasure Ability 1, Soul Protection: This bead can automatically guard the host's sea of ​​consciousness, resisting mental attacks. It can actively withstand one divine-level mental attack per day.]

[Second Ability of the Treasure: Soul Refinement: Placing this bead in the sea of ​​consciousness allows for constant refinement of spiritual power, removing impurities and purifying its quality. Long-term wear can help the host steadily improve their spiritual power, up to the divine level!]

hiss……

Even Ning Liu almost lost his composure after reading the description of the "Wind-Stabilizing Pearl".

This thing is practically the ultimate cheat code!

Soul protection, able to withstand a god-level mental attack once a day?

Doesn't this mean that, on a spiritual level, he is almost invincible?

Whether it's an opponent with powerful mental strength like Bibi Dong, or various strange mental-type soul skills, they will all be ineffective against him.

Even more terrifying is the second ability: mental tempering, which is aimed directly at the god level!

Although the system's instructions say that the improvement will be steady, the numbers won't increase too quickly.

But at least it managed to force his mental power to that level!

Ning Liu decisively chose to extract the substance.

Then, he felt a bead radiating a warm, precious light slowly rising and falling in his sea of ​​consciousness.

An unprecedented sense of peace and profoundness enveloped his entire spiritual world.

He could even feel that his two martial souls, nourished by this aura, emitted pleasant chirps.

"call……"

Ning Liu exhaled a breath of stale air without showing any emotion, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.

He glanced at the aloof and solitary figure not far away.

Bibi Dong spent five million gold soul coins to make a deal that she felt was very worthwhile.

Little did she know that what she was doing was making a fortune.

The auction refund system is really awesome!

On the auction stage, Ning Rongrong had no idea what kind of drama was unfolding in her senior brother's mind.

She successfully hosted two priceless auctions, which gave her immense satisfaction and made her much more confident.

"Distinguished guests, please take a short break. Our third item will be coming up shortly!"

Her clear voice rang out again, drawing everyone's attention back.

This time, the Sea Soul Master who came up did not carry a jade plate, but stood respectfully behind Ning Rongrong, as if waiting for something.

All eyes in the room were filled with curiosity.

"The third item is somewhat special."

Ning Rongrong deliberately kept everyone in suspense, winking playfully.

"It's not a physical entity, but an opportunity, a spot."

"Spots?"

"What kind of spots can be auctioned here?"

The audience below the stage buzzed with discussion, and even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo showed expressions of interest.

Ning Rongrong waved her small hand, pointing to the vast, boundless sea behind her, and said loudly:

"Within the sea area under the jurisdiction of Poseidon Island, there is a peculiar island called 'Dust-Cleansing Island'."

"At the center of the island lies a 'Cleansing Spirit Spring,' whose water was forged by the fires of the earth's core over millennia. It is as warm and smooth as jade, and has the miraculous effect of cleansing the body and nourishing the vital energy!"

"Especially for Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level, if they can immerse themselves in it and cultivate, they have a very high probability of breaking through their bottlenecks and undergoing a complete transformation!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

Those from the sects and forces on the mainland, in particular, began to breathe heavily.

The cultivation of a Soul Master becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.

It's common for a bottleneck to keep you stuck for three to five years, or even eight to ten years!

And now, there is actually a spiritual spring that can help break through the bottleneck?

For any sect, this means the ability to mass-produce geniuses, and it signifies the future foundation of the sect!

In the ranks of the Sea Soul Masters, a burly island lord stood up and proudly proclaimed:

"That's right!"

"We Sea Soul Masters all know that the Cleansing Spring only opens once every ten years, and there are only ten spots available each time! There aren't enough for even our own people!"

A high-ranking sea spirit master standing next to him echoed:

"Exactly! The son of the Black Wave Island Lord, do you all remember him? His talent is only considered above average, and he was stuck at the peak of Soul King for two whole years."

"Ten years ago, I was fortunate enough to get a spot and went there, and I broke through to the Soul Emperor level directly!"

"He's only thirty-four years old now, and he's already a level sixty-eight Soul Emperor! His father talks about it all the time, saying that his son has the potential to become a Title Douluo!"

"Haha, that's more than that! I heard that the kid looked much more energetic after coming out of the spiritual spring, and his skin, which used to be so dark, is now fair and clean!"

The sea spirit masters chatted amongst themselves, their words brimming with boasting, which filled the mainland spirit masters with both envy and jealousy.

really!

Thirty-four years old, a Soul Emperor of level sixty-eight!

This talent would make him a top-tier genius even on the continent!

However, dissenting voices have also emerged.

A stern-faced elder of the Sea Soul Masters frowned and whispered to the person beside him:

"What exactly is the High Priest thinking?"

"This precious land is one of the foundations of our Sea Soul Masters. Are we just going to give away a spot to an outsider like this? Or are we going to auction it off?"

"If the people on the mainland get their hands on this, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?"

His concerns also represent the sentiments of some Sea Soul Masters.

It seems they can do business with mainland Soul Masters now, but once core resources are involved...

There was always some resistance in their hearts.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't lack money; what it lacks is a way to break through the limitations of martial souls and cultivate more powerful individuals!

This spot at the Spirit Spring is perhaps even more valuable to him than that 400,000-year-old soul bone!

Rongrong has already received the inheritance of the Nine-Colored Goddess. If we could let her go there...

But what if Ning Liu has some ideas?

He glanced at Ning Liu and found that Ning Liu was calmly sipping his tea, seemingly having no interest whatsoever in the spiritual spring spot that could drive countless people crazy.

That's true, this kid is a monster himself, he probably doesn't need this thing.

Ning Fengzhi had made up his mind, and this time, he would not hesitate as he had before.

On the stage, the murmurs of Ning Rongrong and the others subsided slightly before she extended a slender, white finger and announced loudly:

"One spot is available for the 'Cleansing Spring,' and it is only for Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level!"

"Starting bid: one million gold soul coins! Each bid must be at least one hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
