Chapter 15: Soul Guidance Device that Increases Cultivation Speed by Three Times
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said frankly.
"If this Intermediate Healing Potion is truly as Star Dou Auction Pavilion claims, then for us, it is indeed a life-saving item."
"When we carry out tasks, it's inevitable that we will encounter danger, and having this potion gives us an added layer of protection."
Bei Bei, deep in thought, nodded in agreement, with a hint of emotion in his expression.
"Indeed, as far as I know, there is really nothing on Douluo Continent that compares to this Intermediate Healing Potion."
"Even a healing-type Soul Saint can't guarantee that they can heal someone who is on the brink of death in a short amount of time. The effects of this potion are simply extraordinary."
Mu Lao had naturally noticed their conversation.
With a kind smile, he looked at Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Zhang Lexuan, and the others, speaking gently.
"If there's something you need, feel free to bid on it. If the money isn't enough, take it from me as a gift for all of you."
Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hand to decline, speaking earnestly.
"Mu Lao, there's no need for that."
"This Intermediate Healing Potion is indeed an incredibly valuable treasure, but unfortunately, it's a one-time-use item. There's no need to waste the academy's resources. Let's wait and see what the upcoming auction items are."
Although Huo Yuhao longed for the potion, he understood the importance of looking at the bigger picture and not losing focus on something small.
Mu Lao smiled and nodded, continuing.
"Don't worry, if something truly helpful comes up later, feel free to bid without hesitation."
Huo Yuhao and the others expressed their gratitude, replying in unison, "Okay, Mu Lao."
Then, they turned their attention back to the auction stage, eagerly anticipating the next item.
...
In another corner of the auction hall, Meng Hongchen sat with Jing Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen's eyes glowed with curiosity as she carefully looked at her grandfather, Jing Hongchen, and suggested.
"Grandfather, what if we bid on this Intermediate Healing Potion, take it back, and study it carefully? It might offer some insights for our research into Soul Guidance Devices."
Meng Hongchen had a strong interest in Soul Guidance Device research.
In her view, the healing principles behind this potion might provide new ideas for the development of Soul Guidance Devices.
Jing Hongchen gently shook his head, his expression serious as he said.
"This Intermediate Healing Potion is a one-time use item, it's not worth it."
"My purpose in coming here is to secure the upcoming top auction item, so I need to save more Gold Soul Coins."
Jing Hongchen understood the value of the upcoming headlining auction item and didn't want to waste money on this one-time-use potion.
Moreover, seeing that Mu Lao and Xuan Lao from Shrek Academy were also present, he knew the competition would be fierce and that he had to preserve enough funds to handle it.
Meng Hongchen's eyes revealed a trace of disappointment after hearing Jing Hongchen's words, but she understood and nodded without saying anything further.
Xie Hongchen, sitting nearby, had a slight shift in expression, a bit of seriousness showing on his face. He too realized the gravity of this auction.
...
As time passed, the auction for the Intermediate Healing Potion neared its end.
Each time Lingyun's hammer came down, it felt like a heavy blow on everyone's heart.
"2.73 million Gold Soul Coins, once."
"2.73 million Gold Soul Coins, twice."
"2.73 million Gold Soul Coins, three times."
Lingyun's voice grew louder, and the hammer she held was raised high before falling with a resounding strike.
"We congratulate Soul Master No. 73 on the first floor for successfully purchasing the 20,000-year-old Ghost Demon Wolf's corpse for 2.73 million Gold Soul Coins."
As Lingyun announced the result, applause erupted from the crowd.
Soul Master No. 73 from the first floor stood up with joy on his face, walking to the back to complete the purchase.
Afterward, Lingyun spoke again.
"Next, we will auction the third item."
"The third item is a Soul Guidance Device blueprint. Of course, this type of Soul Guidance Device has never appeared on Douluo Continent before. I believe all of you will be very interested in it."
Lingyun's smile revealed a hint of mystery, and her eyes sparkled mischievously, as if she were deliberately piquing everyone's curiosity.
Sure enough, as soon as Lingyun finished speaking, the entire auction hall seemed to explode with excitement.
Everyone's eyes lit up with anticipation, and they began discussing quietly, guessing the potential uses and power of this mysterious Soul Guidance Device.
To them, the fact that Star Dou Auction Pavilion was offering a Soul Guidance Device blueprint that had never been seen before sparked intense curiosity.
Lingyun waved her right hand lightly, and with the surge of soul power, a beautiful wooden box appeared on the auction table.
The box was surrounded by rich soul power, exuding a mysterious aura, making people feel an irresistible urge to find out more.
"Next for auction is a blueprint for a level five Soul Guidance Device. This type of Soul Guidance Device has one unique function: it can increase the cultivation speed of Soul Masters below the rank of Soul Emperor by three times."
Lingyun didn't keep them guessing and directly revealed the function of the level five Soul Guidance Device.
"Increase cultivation speed by three times for Soul Masters below the rank of Soul Emperor?"
"How is that possible? Does such a Soul Guidance Device really exist?"
"....."
This revelation was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd.
The soul masters present were stunned at first, then expressions of shock spread across their faces, followed by a wave of astonishment.
Currently, Soul Guidance Devices were thriving on Douluo Continent, and Soul Guidance Devices that could accelerate a Soul Master's cultivation speed did exist, but those only slightly sped up the absorption of soul power to assist in training, never increasing the speed by three times.
This was not only a completely new concept, but also a coveted artifact for countless soul masters.
"Grandfather, could this be fake?"
Xie Hongchen, who had been lazily leaning in his chair, sat up straight upon hearing the news. The laziness on his face was replaced by an overwhelming shock.
He came from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire and was a very gifted Soul Master. His understanding of Soul Guidance Devices surpassed that of ordinary people.
He knew what a Soul Guidance Device that could increase a Soul Master's cultivation speed by three times would mean—it was almost a cheat.
Moreover, Mingde Hall had previously attempted to create a similar device but failed miserably.
Yet now, Star Dou Auction Pavilion had revealed the blueprint for such a device, which he found unbelievable.
Jing Hongchen's face became serious as well, his gaze fixed on the wooden box on the auction table.
"It should be real. Whatever it takes, we must secure this Soul Guidance Device."
Jing Hongchen knew that if the Sun Moon Empire could obtain this Soul Guidance Device, their strength would be greatly boosted.
Especially for Soul Masters below the rank of Soul Emperor, their cultivation speed would greatly increase.
In a short period, the middle-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire would experience explosive growth, significantly strengthening the foundation of the empire.
