"What do you want it for?" Ma Xiaotao knew from the previous conversation that Zhao Xin owned a carving knife ranked 13th. She didn't understand why Zhao Xin would spend such a huge price to buy another one.
"I have a younger brother named Huo Yuhao. He has a good talent for soul guides. So I want to give this carving knife to him." Zhao Xin said indifferently, he really wanted to give it to Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao? The one you brought back from the Xing Luo Empire?" Ma Xiaotao remembered. She had heard Zhao Xin mention him before. She also heard that Zhao Xin had taken in a few orphans in his shop, but she hadn't seen them yet.
“That’s right,” Zhao Xin did not hide anything, but he did not say that Huo Yuhao was the son of the White Tiger Duke, as it was better to have less trouble than more.
Old Yan's voice continued to be heard on the stage. He was introducing a soul guide called the Milk Bottle. It was a silver necklace with a metal pendant in the shape of a milk bottle, about the size of an adult's thumb.
"A milk bottle, as the name suggests, is naturally used for drinking milk. However, for soul engineers or soul masters, their milk bottles are used to replenish soul power." Upon hearing this, the people in the audience immediately became excited. Things like milk bottles have been appearing more frequently in the Sun-Moon Empire, and the number of times they appear in places like Douluo Continent, which are more repellent to soul guides.
"Let's get back to the point. The scientific name of this milk bottle should be called a charging soul guide, which can be used by both soul masters and soul engineers. The milk bottle can be a soul guide of any level, but it must be made by a soul engineer at least level three to have a certain effect. It is very common among soul guides, but high-level milk bottles are very expensive. A level seven milk bottle appeared before, and it caused a sensation. It was eventually sold for seven million gold soul coins, setting a historical record for the price of a milk bottle."
"The function of the milk bottle is naturally to replenish soul power. The level of the milk bottle can replenish the soul power of the soul master of the same level. When using it, you only need to charge the soul power in advance. But it also has certain limitations. That is, when using it, you must stop and absorb it with your whole body and mind. Otherwise, if you are not focused, you will not be able to guide this soul power. Therefore, every time we auction the milk bottle, we have to remind all the distinguished guests not to use the milk bottle in combat. Well, I believe that all the distinguished guests are very familiar with the milk bottle, so I will not say more. The auction will start now. The starting price is 6,000 gold soul coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 100 gold soul coins."
"Baby bottle? A level 5 baby bottle at that." Zhao Xin also became interested. Even Zhao Xin didn't have this kind of thing. It's not that he didn't want it, but Zhao Xin's soul power was upgraded too quickly and it would be useless even if he had it.
"This is really a good thing." Ma Xiaotao had never heard of a soul guide like a milk bottle that could replenish soul power at any time, and she was very interested. "I want this."
"It's just right for you now," Zhao Xin nodded in agreement. He couldn't use it himself, but Ma Xiaotao, the Soul King, could use it. "But you have to remember that soul guides like the milk bottle can't be used in battle, because when the milk bottle releases soul power and is absorbed by the soul master, the amount released will be very large. In the process of receiving soul power, the body will definitely become stalemate. This is very fatal in battle. Moreover, the milk bottle is difficult to control when it is used. Generally speaking, it will directly absorb all the soul power. Or at least make your own soul power full."
While the two were talking, the price of the Level 5 bottle had reached 70,000 gold soul coins, because when the bottle releases soul power and is absorbed by the soul master, the amount released will be very large. In the process of receiving soul power, the body will definitely be stalemate. This is very fatal in battle. Moreover, it is difficult to control the bottle when using it. Generally speaking, it directly absorbs all the soul power. Or at least fill up your own soul power.
"One hundred thousand." Zhao Xin used the price to pressure others. As soon as the price of one hundred thousand was announced, the whole place fell silent.
"One hundred thousand for the first time, the second time, and the third time. Deal." Perhaps in order to leave a good impression, Mr. Yan saw that the price was paid by the VIP who had taken out the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva before, so the hammer fell faster than usual.
Zhao Xin received the bottle in a moment, paid the price and handed it to Ma Xiaotao, "Try it."
Ma Xiaotao took the necklace in her hand and looked at it again and again, "I will return the money to you."
Seeing Ma Xiaotao's serious expression, Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Just consider it as a betrothal gift."
"You." Ma Xiaotao's serious expression was broken by Zhao Xin, "Just wait for your death."
About another hour passed, and Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao no longer saw any auction items that suited their tastes, so they left as soon as the auction ended.
"What are we going to do now?" Ma Xiaotao had experienced the heated atmosphere of the auction and didn't want to go back to Poseidon Island yet.
"I'm going to Tianbao Pavilion, why don't we go together?" Zhao Xin thought about it and decided that Ma Xiaotao was already one of his own. It was time to let her take a look at his family background and introduce his younger brothers to her.
"Okay." Ma Xiaotao had long been interested in the Tianbao Pavilion that Zhao Xin mentioned, but she would have been embarrassed to go see it if Zhao Xin hadn't mentioned it.
Zhao Xin brought Ma Xiaotao to a street in the center of Shrek City. At the end of the road was Tianbao Pavilion. "Speaking of which, it was Uncle Yan who gave me the floor of Tianbao Pavilion."
"My teacher? He used it to exchange for the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow." Ma Xiaotao had heard Yan Shaozhe mention it before, that the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow was exchanged from Zhao Xin using a store in Shrek City.
"Yes, it will be one of our assets from now on."
After returning to Tianbao Pavilion, Zhao Xin immediately went to see what the orphans he adopted were doing, and asked Huo Yuner to take Ma Xiaotao to visit Tianbao Pavilion's products.
Tianyu is practicing in the practice room. Tianyu is a little beggar Zhao Xin met on the street when he was on a mission in Tianhun Empire. He is a child from a poor family. After his parents died inexplicably, he was hunted down. Zhao Xin killed the murderers for him, avenged him, and brought him back to Tianbao Pavilion.
Zhao Xin brought him back because his talent was very good among the common people, but his parents were killed by their enemies and had nowhere to go, so he became a beggar. His martial soul is the ink sword, and his innate soul power is level 6. His martial soul is a mutation of an ordinary iron sword. Although it is still not very good, it is okay among the common people. It's a pity that his parents died too early, and no one got the second soul ring for him. He had to hide from the murderer everywhere, but he did receive some knowledge and was now appointed by Zhao Xin as the leader of these orphans.
The remaining three girls, one of whom was a cat-eared girl whose martial spirit failed to mutate and had traces of a beast martial spirit, Zhao Xin found her at an auction. Her pitiful appearance and age of less than ten years old instantly filled Zhao Xin's heart with pity, and he bought the cat-eared girl without hesitation.
The remaining ones were a pair of sisters. One of the three of them was responsible for serving tea and water, while the other two sisters helped Huo Yun'er with cleaning. The sisters' life stories were also very tragic. The village they lived in was massacred by evil soul masters. When Zhao Xin arrived, only the two siblings were left.
At that time, the mission was a three-person mission, and Dai Yuheng and Gong Yangmo were also on the mission. Because of Zhao Xin's adoption, he was teased for a long time.
