Chapter 4: Absorbing the Divine Soul Rings
Jiang Li quietly returned to his room, his mind filled with countless thoughts as he began preparing for the upcoming first auction.
His body had directly crossed over to the Douluo Continent without bringing anything with him.
Now, the items for the first auction could only rely on the ten items he had just drawn from the system.
Under the soft lighting, Jiang Li carefully examined these precious items.
A 30,000-year-old head spirit bone with a mental attribute.
The Ultimate Fire Martial Soul—Yanhong Sky Dragon.
A bottle of intermediate healing potion capable of healing all injuries below Soul Emperor level.
A 20,000-year-old Hell Demon Wolf Soul Beast corpse.
A 50,000-year-old Heavenly Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb.
Five Divine Soul Rings.
And a Level 5 Soul Engineer Blueprint.
Jiang Li knew that the star item of this auction would undoubtedly be the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul—Yanhong Sky Dragon.
Although this Martial Soul was incredibly powerful, his own Nine-Color Divine Lotus Martial Soul also contained the Ultimate Fire attribute.
If he were to make it his second Martial Soul, it would undoubtedly occupy a precious Martial Soul slot.
Jiang Li was looking forward to the day when he could draw another powerful and unique Martial Soul from the system's lottery, thereby further enhancing his abilities.
Once all the auction items were ready, Jiang Li slowly stood up. After some careful thought, he decided to have Lei Yao personally deliver the invitations.
In this world where the strong reign supreme, only in this way could he garner enough attention from others.
Otherwise, when people first hear that an Ultimate Fire Martial Soul is being auctioned, their first reaction would surely be disbelief.
Such an event, almost like a fairytale, would be unimaginable even to the top Title Douluo-level powerhouses.
Jiang Li planned to use this auction to establish the prestige of the Star Dou Auction Pavilion once and for all.
"Lei Yao, there's an important task that I need you to handle."
Jiang Li's voice was steady and powerful as he handed Lei Yao the several invitations, his tone serious.
"Deliver these invitations one by one to Shrek Academy, Star Luo Empire, Mingde Hall, and other places."
"If you encounter powerful soul masters on the way, you can also deliver the invitations, but make sure they feel the mystery and strength of our auction."
"Understood, Pavilion Master, I will complete the task without fail!"
Lei Yao's mouth curled into a confident smile.
He took the invitations, and a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed. In an instant, Lei Yao's figure tore through the space and disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Li had full confidence in Lei Yao's abilities.
After all, with an Ultimate Douluo personally delivering invitations, it would definitely make others feel the power of the Star Dou Auction Pavilion.
These invitations were meant to invite soul masters with great strength and influence in Douluo Continent.
As for the other spots within the auction pavilion, Jiang Li planned to allow others to enter after the auction began, giving more people a chance to witness this grand event.
The auction price for the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul would undoubtedly be sky-high, and only true powerhouses and wealthy forces could afford it.
After dealing with the early preparations for the auction, Jiang Li turned his attention to his own cultivation.
He planned to add spirit rings to his powerful Nine-Color Divine Lotus Martial Soul.
The Nine-Color Divine Lotus Martial Soul had granted him 30 levels of innate spirit power.
The five Divine Soul Rings he had just obtained from the system's lottery no longer required him to hunt soul beasts for them.
The unique thing about Divine Soul Rings was that they would automatically add the most suitable soul skills for his Martial Soul.
This not only saved him time searching for soul beasts but also avoided the danger that might come with fighting powerful soul beasts.
On the current Douluo Continent, soul beasts with extreme attributes were already rare, and finding a soul beast with the right age and matching attribute was an almost impossible task.
"Ling Yun, could you please assist me? I'm about to absorb the Divine Soul Rings."
Jiang Li's voice carried a note of caution.
He knew that since he had crossed over, his body was relatively weak.
Even with the enhancement of the Nine-Color Divine Lotus Martial Soul, it was almost impossible to absorb a high-level soul ring on his first attempt.
He needed Ling Yun's powerful life force to assist him.
If he couldn't handle the absorption, Ling Yun's life force would also heal any injuries he sustained from absorbing the soul rings, thus increasing his absorption limit.
"No problem, Pavilion Master, rest assured, I will make sure you are unharmed."
Ling Yun's voice was like music, her beautiful face breaking into a gentle smile, her eyes filled with concern.
Jiang Li nodded solemnly. He slowly extended his palm.
In an instant, the Nine-Color Divine Lotus Martial Soul released a dazzling light, with various colored rays intertwining in the air, releasing a mysterious aura that sent chills down his spine.
Jiang Li took three golden orbs from his chest. These were the precious Divine Soul Rings, and once lightly crushed, they would automatically condense into soul rings.
"Boom!"
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Li picked up one of the Divine Soul Rings and crushed it with a forceful motion of his right hand.
Golden light points scattered in the air like meteors, and a golden soul ring slowly materialized around Jiang Li.
As soon as the soul ring was crushed, its color shifted from pure white to a bright yellow, and the color gradually deepened.
As time passed.
When the soul ring's age was approaching a thousand years, Jiang Li's body began to tremble uncontrollably, a burning sensation sweeping through him.
He knew that he had reached the limit of this soul ring.
"Life Light!"
Ling Yun had been closely monitoring Jiang Li's condition. Seeing this, she immediately made her move.
With a gentle wave of her right hand, a soft green light instantly scattered in the air, forming a massive and warm green circle that enveloped Jiang Li.
Endless life force, like a gentle stream, poured into Jiang Li's body.
Jiang Li, who had been on the verge of losing his strength, felt this powerful and warm life force and let out a long sigh of relief.
Even at this critical moment of absorbing the soul ring, Jiang Li couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
"This is the power of the Ultimate Life Attribute. It's truly terrifying!"
Just moments ago, he had almost given up, but after absorbing just a bit of life force, he had regained his vitality, feeling as though he was filled with boundless strength.
Several hours passed.
With Ling Yun's assistance, Jiang Li finally absorbed all three of the soul rings successfully.
He let out a deep breath and opened his eyes to see three soul rings of different colors floating around him—deep purple, purple, and black.
Thanks to Ling Yun's powerful life force, Jiang Li's third soul ring reached an astounding 10,000-year soul ring.
"Phew, finally absorbed successfully."
Jiang Li looked at his Nine-Color Divine Lotus Martial Soul, which emitted a soft glow, and a satisfied smile spread across his face.
