Chapter 13: Mu Lao's Hope for Recovery
Xuan Lao suddenly turned his head, looking at Mu Lao, who was pale and weak, his voice filled with an uncontrollable excitement and anticipation.
He anxiously asked, "Mu Lao, do you want to ask the Star Dou Auction Pavilion for help with your internal injuries?"
The reason Xuan Lao suddenly proposed this suggestion was that he immediately thought of Mu Lao's concerning injuries.
He knew very well that Mu Lao's injuries were the result of many years of accumulation. After a long period of delay, they had become so severe that they were considered incurable.
Over the years, Mu Lao had disregarded his own safety for the sake of Shrek Academy, traveling around and fighting powerful enemies multiple times, which had left him with these hidden injuries.
Even with Elder Zhuang personally acting, they could not alleviate Mu Lao's injuries.
They could only watch as his condition worsened each day.
Originally, they had given up on any hope of Mu Lao recovering.
But unexpectedly, today, at the Star Dou Auction Pavilion, a person with an Extreme Life Attribute Martial Soul appeared.
This sudden turn of events gave Xuan Lao a glimmer of hope.
He didn't know just how powerful this healer's abilities were, but Xuan Lao had a strong premonition.
As long as this woman was willing to help, Mu Lao's long-standing injuries would surely be healed completely.
If Mu Lao's injuries could be healed and he regained his peak strength, Shrek Academy would once again have an Ultimate Douluo powerhouse at its peak.
At that time, Shrek Academy's position on Douluo Continent would be further solidified and elevated.
"This matter should be discussed later. As for the Star Dou Auction Pavilion, whether they are an enemy or a friend is still uncertain."
Mu Lao slightly furrowed his brows, his tone low and serious as he spoke.
His gaze was deep, revealing a steadiness and caution that came with years of experience.
They couldn't act impulsively and expose their intentions too easily.
They also couldn't blindly trust a newly appeared unfamiliar force.
"Let's not forget, the Star Dou Auction Pavilion might be even more complicated than we think."
Mu Lao paused, continuing, "Until we understand their background fully, we must proceed with caution to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to Shrek Academy."
After hearing Mu Lao's words, Xuan Lao slightly nodded, a trace of helplessness and loss flashing in his eyes.
He understood that Mu Lao's concerns were justified.
Though he was deeply worried about Mu Lao's injuries and eager to find a cure, he had to suppress his impulse for now and wait for a more appropriate moment.
However, Xuan Lao didn't completely give up hope.
He secretly resolved that no matter the cost, he would ask the Star Dou Auction Pavilion for help in healing Mu Lao's injuries.
...
"An Ultimate Douluo with Extreme Life attributes, it's impossible."
Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were equally shocked and confused by what they had just witnessed.
They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
They both knew how much effort and time it took to cultivate to the Ultimate Douluo level using their powerful Martial Souls.
Both of them had undergone countless life-and-death trials and spent decades, even centuries, to reach their current strength.
They also understood that it was incredibly difficult to cultivate a special Martial Soul like the Life Attribute one to the level of Ultimate Douluo, it was like climbing to the heavens.
Cultivating a Life Attribute Martial Soul required not only extraordinary talent but also an immense amount of resources and a unique cultivation environment.
Moreover, the woman before them possessed Extreme Life attributes.
And, looking at her, they noticed that her face was young, her skin as fair as jade, her eyes clear and bright, showing no signs of aging.
This made them even more unable to imagine how the Star Dou Auction Pavilion could achieve this.
How could it have cultivated two Ultimate Douluo powerhouses, each possessing Extreme Attributes?
This thought made the two of them even more intrigued by the person behind the Star Dou Auction Pavilion.
They silently wondered what secrets and forces were hidden behind the Star Dou Auction Pavilion.
Was it a mysterious organization?
Or was it a recluse, an unparalleled powerhouse?
"Let's start with the first item for auction: The corpse of a 20,000-year-old Ghost Demon Wolf soul beast."
Lingyun's clear and pleasant voice rang out again, breaking the silence in the hall.
At this moment, Lingyun gently raised her right hand and elegantly waved it in the air.
Immediately, a massive soul beast appeared on the auction table out of thin air.
This Ghost Demon Wolf soul beast had a long and agile body, covered in gray-purple fur, each strand of fur shimmering with a mysterious and profound glow.
Even though it had lost its life, it still emitted a faint aura of a 10,000-year-old soul beast, making people feel its former power and majesty.
"This Ghost Demon Wolf has not been dead for long. The starting bid is 50,000 Gold Soul Coins."
Lingyun's lips curled into a faint smile, and with a gentle and clear voice, she gave a brief introduction to the Ghost Demon Wolf.
Then, she slowly extended her right hand, took the delicate auction hammer from the table, and lightly tapped it, producing a crisp sound.
The auction officially began.
In fact, Jiang Li had not planned to auction off the corpse of the Ghost Demon Wolf.
In his view, although this item might be valuable to some soul masters with weaker strength, for those with greater power and broader horizons, it would hardly be considered a rare item.
However, for him, keeping the corpse of the soul beast was of no practical use.
It neither increased his strength nor served as a valuable resource for cultivation.
It would only be useful to people who needed it for refining medicine or soul tools.
After some hesitation, Jiang Li finally decided to put it up for auction, hoping to sell it for a good price.
He didn't really care how much it sold for.
After all, the corpse was something he got for free. Even if it didn't sell for a high price, he wouldn't suffer any loss.
"50,000 Gold Soul Coins."
Just after Lingyun announced the auction, a middle-aged soul master sitting in the front row of the hall was the first to bid.
He stood up, slightly raised his chin, a confident smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a strong desire to obtain the Ghost Demon Wolf's corpse.
