Chapter 183 The Auction (Part Two)
Just as Master Yu said, more soul and more bones mean a powerful attack, while less soul and fewer bones mean you have to run away. When strength is roughly equal, the difference between having soul bones and not having them is huge!
The soul bones that usually appear at auctions are mostly from a thousand or even a hundred years old. Even if a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone sometimes appears, its age is usually only a little over ten thousand years, just barely touching the edge of a ten-thousand-year soul bone. As for soul bones with an age higher, they are basically nonexistent.
Even so, every appearance of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone at the auction triggers a bloody storm of open and covert struggles. As for the soul bone over fifty thousand years old that Salas mentioned at this auction, it's simply impossible for it to appear at the auction.
After all, a Soul Master who can kill a Soul Beast that is over 50,000 years old must be at least a Soul Saint, and such strength is considered a solid force in the entire Douluo Continent.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, very few Soul Masters are willing to provoke Soul Beasts that are over 50,000 years old. After all, even Soul Douluo wouldn't dare to say that they can definitely kill their opponent in a one-on-one fight.
Therefore, Soul Masters who kill Soul Beasts that are over 50,000 years old are basically doing so to obtain Soul Rings. After a Soul Master hunts a Soul Beast that is over 50,000 years old, the Soul Bone that drops will be absorbed immediately.
Moreover, unless one has absolute strength to ensure their own safety, the person who obtains the soul bone will definitely try to conceal the fact that they possess it. After all, if outsiders know that they have a soul bone, there is a high chance that the person in the know will kill them and take the bone.
Regarding the auction of this soul bone, Miguel considered him a fool. After all, only a fool would auction off a soul bone that was over 50,000 years old. It should be noted that a soul bone that is over 50,000 years old can provide a significant boost to a Title Douluo after being absorbed by it.
For example, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who is familiar with Miguel, is a prominent figure in the Spirit Hall, yet he doesn't even own a single spirit bone! To be honest, if Chrysanthemum Douluo knew that there were plant-type spirit bones over 50,000 years old being auctioned in Heaven Dou City, he would buy them even if it meant going bankrupt!
“I’m not sure either. That’s what the hidden informant told me! Because I found out too late, I don’t know anything about the story behind this soul bone! Your Highness, should we buy this soul bone?” Salas asked tentatively.
Miguel knew he didn't need a soul bone, since absorbing one would taint the purity of his Holy Light Body. However, this particular soul bone was of quite good quality, and Miguel wasn't about to let it fall into the hands of those nobles!
"Of course we have to buy it! It would be such a waste to miss out on such a high-quality soul bone!"
“Then, Your Highness, I’m going to raise the funds!” Salas said with a serious expression.
Miguel knew that tomorrow's auction would be fiercely contested, so he instructed Salas, "Go, do your best to raise the funds, lest you run out of money!"
"promise!"
After saying that, Salas left. Once Salas was gone, Daglas asked curiously, "Brother, I remember you said before that our bodies are special and we can't absorb soul bones, so why did we buy that useless thing?"
"I plan to use it for research, to create artificial soul bones. Based on what I've told you, you should know that soul bones evolve into divine equipment when one reaches level 100 and becomes a god. This is quite good for ordinary people, as it can provide the host with a certain level of protection."
However, to create divine equipment, you need six soul bones, but soul bones are relatively hard to find on the continent. It would be quite good if you could collect fifty sets of soul bones that currently exist on the continent.
You know I need to build my own power base, and that will definitely require a lot of soul bones. Therefore, mass-producing soul bones is quite necessary. Besides, once I finish my research, this soul bone will be useless to me, but its quality is good, so using it as a favor is perfectly fine!
