Ning Liu's consciousness was pulled away from the hustle and bustle of the auction, focusing on the cold, mechanical voice in his mind.
Now, his greatest reliance is this system.
Each successful auction brings a return of a random multiple.
However, in his opinion, this multiplier was somewhat based on luck.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a 1000x return and obtained a 100,000-year-old soul bone, the skull of the Illusionary Heart Celestial Fox!]
A thousand times!
Ning Liu's breathing suddenly stopped.
A soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years!
To be honest, he had never even seen a real soul bone before, let alone owned one.
Now, the system has directly rewarded me with a 100,000-year-old piece!
If this were put up for auction, the entire Heavenly Dou Empire would probably go crazy for it.
Those titled Douluo will probably be restless.
Of course, it's impossible to sell it.
Such a treasure, if the skill is suitable, should naturally be kept for oneself to absorb.
Ning Liu had a thought.
A soft light appeared in the void in front of him.
As the light faded, an exquisitely crafted skull floated silently in the air.
The skull had a crystal-clear texture and a mysterious golden glow.
The surface of the skull is not smooth, but covered with mysterious and intricate patterns.
Upon closer inspection, the patterns faintly outline the phantom of a nine-tailed celestial fox, lifelike, with eyes that seem to gleam with wisdom and allure.
Furthermore, wisps of fox-tail-shaped purplish-gold light flowed within the skull, like living things, radiating heart-palpitating energy fluctuations, adding a touch of eeriness and nobility.
[Soul Bone Name: Skull of the Illusionary Celestial Fox (100,000 Years)]
Absorbing a soul bone can greatly increase one's mental power.
Ning Liu's attention was completely drawn to this soul bone.
Amplification of mental strength—that's exactly what he currently lacks.
His martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which has powerful support capabilities, but also requires extremely high mental strength from the soul master.
[Soul Bone Skill 1: Illusory Heart in the Dust.]
[Effect: Passive skill, grants the host immunity to 99% of mind control-type soul skills.]
The effectiveness of the immunity will fluctuate depending on the difference in mental strength between the two parties. When the host's mental strength far exceeds that of the opponent, complete immunity is achieved; when the opponent's mental strength far exceeds that of the host, the immunity will be weakened accordingly.
In the Douluo Continent, spirit-type Soul Masters are rare, but each one is extremely difficult to deal with.
Even without considering spirit-type soul masters, many soul masters have soul rings that can cause dizziness, confusion, and other effects!
Therefore, this skill is extremely practical.
[Soul Bone Skill Two: Bewitching Domain.]
[Effect: Active skill, indiscriminately attacks all enemies within a designated area with mental attacks.]
The person targeted will be forcibly trapped in their deepest fear or desire—a "mental illusion" from which they cannot escape.
[The host can actively extract the dissipated mental energy of those trapped in the illusion to replenish their own consumption. The duration and intensity of the illusion depend on the difference in mental energy between the two parties.]
Ning Liu's eyes lit up as he looked at the skill description.
It can control the group and also absorb the mental energy of others to replenish itself.
That's simply divine skill!
"No wonder it's a soul bone from a hundred thousand years ago!"
Ning Liu exclaimed in admiration and sat down cross-legged without hesitation.
He reached out and gently touched the skull of the Illusionary Heart Celestial Fox that was floating in front of him.
The soul bone felt warm to the touch, without any hint of coldness; instead, it carried a strange warmth.
The next moment, the skull transformed into a streak of purple-gold light and instantly disappeared into Ning Liu's brow.
A vast but not violent energy instantly filled his spiritual sea.
Ning Liu's body trembled slightly.
He closed his eyes, focused all his energy on circulating his soul power, and guided this energy to merge with himself.
The process of absorbing a soul bone is completely different from the pain of absorbing a soul ring.
There was no tearing pain, but rather an indescribable sense of comfort.
His spiritual world was like a long-dried-up pond that received a constant flow of sweet spring water.
His consciousness seemed to be floating in a warm, purple-gold ocean, and every thought became incredibly clear and active.
This process did not last long.
When Ning Liu opened his eyes again, he felt that the whole world had changed.
The noisy sounds in the auction hall now sounded distinct to him, and he could easily catch every subtle noise.
"My mental strength..."
Ning Liu could clearly feel that his mental strength had increased at least tenfold!
This improvement is undoubtedly a qualitative leap.
What surprised him even more was that, being a 100,000-year-old soul bone, his soul power began to surge wildly after he absorbed it.
The bottleneck was broken through quietly.
Level 50!
His soul power actually broke through from level 48 to level 50 after absorbing this soul bone!
This is truly an unexpected delight.
Ning Liu stretched his body and felt extremely happy.
He then turned his attention back to the exhibition stands below the auction hall.
The return of the first item brought such a huge boost, making him even more excited for the items to come.
At this moment, on the auction stage, DouDou has begun introducing the second item for auction.
Her voice remained sweet and captivating, full of allure.
"Distinguished guests, the competition for the Bewitching Fox Skull was fierce, which shows everyone's enthusiasm for rare treasures."
"The next item in the auction is also extraordinary."
With a wave of her hand, Dou Dou's maidservant gracefully walked up behind her, carrying a jade plate covered with a red cloth.
"This substance is called Bihua Spring."
"It was discovered by a senior Soul Master in a mysterious valley deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, a place rarely visited by humans."
"The valley is spring-like all year round, with hundreds of flowers in bloom, and the source of Bihua Spring is located in a spring in the center of the valley."
DouDou's voice carried a hint of mystery.
"According to that senior's explanation, the water of Bihua Spring is emerald green, crystal clear, and exudes a refreshing fragrance."
"Within it lies an extremely pure life energy."
"Drinking this spring water can not only nourish the body and cleanse the meridians, but also effectively repair the hidden injuries that have accumulated in the body over the years!"
"Even for some elderly Soul Masters whose vital energy is declining, it has the miraculous effect of prolonging life!"
He paused for a moment, giving everyone time to process what he had said.
"Of course, everything has its limits. Although the Bihua Spring is miraculous, its effects are not particularly strong, nor are they so noticeable for everyone!"
"Even so, for most Soul Masters, being able to repair hidden injuries, nourish their bodies, and live a few more years is already a priceless treasure."
As soon as she finished speaking, before she could even announce the starting price, a commotion arose from the ordinary seats below, and even from some VIP boxes.
Repair hidden damage!
Prolong life!
These two words have a fatal attraction for any Soul Master!
