Chapter 146: Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Deal!
"This you don't need to worry about. The mutation caused by this rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone will always develop in a positive direction."
Ling Yun smiled as she explained.
The soul masters who had been a bit worried finally let out a sigh of relief at this moment.
From this point on, their eyes were filled with an unwavering determination to obtain this rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone.
"Xuan Lao, this is a good item! I didn't expect that this rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone would actually cause the mutation to always move in a positive direction."
"Doesn't that mean that if we obtain it, Shrek Academy will continuously give birth to talents in the future?"
Yan Shaozhe's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
He stared intently at the Martial Soul Awakening Stone on the auction stage, his gaze so intense that it seemed as if it could melt it.
As the premier soul master cultivation institute on Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy had a natural sharp instinct for any treasure that could enhance the potential of its students.
Yan Shaozhe was already very interested in the first auction item!
After hearing there were virtually no side effects, the thought of securing it for the academy grew stronger in his heart.
"It can be secured, but if the price is too high, we may have to forgo it."
"Don't forget why we came to the Starry Auction Pavilion this time; we need to keep more gold soul coins."
Xuan Lao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
His eyes were deep and solemn, carrying the calm of one who had weathered the passage of time.
Xuan Lao naturally understood the value of the rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone! However, their main purpose for coming this time wasn't just to see if they could win this treasure but to seek treatment for Mu Lao's injuries.
As the spiritual pillar of Shrek Academy, Mu Lao's safety was tied to the rise and fall of the entire academy.
The Starry Auction Pavilion had a Limit Douluo strong with the extreme life attribute, who happened to be the woman hosting the auction.
Xuan Lao had been anxious earlier! After all, Mu Lao's injuries were severe, and it was unclear if the woman could successfully heal him.
But after seeing this girl, he realized how shallow his earlier judgment was.
The woman's strength was not limited to the level of a Limit Douluo; she might even be close to the divine level.
Her aura, as vast as the stars, was mysterious and powerful, making others both fearful and respectful.
With her strength surpassing that of a Limit Douluo, combined with her extreme life attribute Martial Soul, the chances of healing Mu Lao greatly increased.
Although they didn't fully understand why the Starry Auction Pavilion only accepted gold soul coins and put so many precious items up for auction, they could vaguely sense that the auction house must have an important purpose for collecting these coins.
This time, Shrek Academy had brought almost all of its gold soul coins, hoping that the Starry Auction Pavilion would be willing to assist in healing Mu Lao.
"Alright, Xuan Lao!"
Yan Shaozhe nodded solemnly. He had certainly not forgotten their purpose.
No matter what, they had to do everything possible to save Mu Lao.
Now that the academy had finally produced a new Limit Douluo, and the foundation of the academy was just starting to stabilize, if Mu Lao were to pass away, the entire continent would surely fall into chaos, and Shrek Academy would be at the center of the storm, severely affected.
It would be an unimaginable disaster, and the fates of countless soul masters might be altered as a result.
...
Meanwhile, in the direction of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sect Master Ning Qitian had a solemn expression.
He stared intently at the auction stage, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
As one of the continent's renowned support-type sects, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had an almost obsessive pursuit of treasures that could enhance the foundation of their sect.
"Sect Master, we must obtain this rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone at all costs!"
One of his sect members suggested earnestly.
In his eyes, this rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone held significant meaning for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never seen such a special Martial Soul since the creation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower over a thousand years ago.
Fortunately, they had previously purchased the Qi Luo Tulip from the Starry Auction Pavilion, which allowed one of their disciples' Martial Soul to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower.
"That's right, we must secure it!"
"This rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone may be dispensable to other forces, but to us, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we must get it, even if it means exhausting all our assets!"
Ning Qitian took a deep breath.
His eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if he could already see the sect moving towards a new glorious future because of this awakening stone.
As the symbol of the sect, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower's powerful supporting abilities had always been the foundation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
And the role of this rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone was to increase the probability of a Martial Soul evolving towards a stronger direction during its awakening.
This meant that children who would originally awaken only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower could even potentially awaken the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Tower.
Or even the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower.
Even if the probability was less than half, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was unwilling to miss this opportunity, as it concerned the sect's future glory.
The other elders, after hearing Ning Qitian's words, gradually understood the preciousness of this rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone.
They whispered among themselves, their faces full of anticipation and tension, as if they could already see a new generation of geniuses emerging from the sect.
"Alright, I believe everyone now has a pretty good understanding of the specific effects of the first auction item, the rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone."
"Now, I announce that the auction of the rare Martial Soul Awakening Stone officially begins!"
"The starting price is 10 million gold soul coins, and each subsequent bid must be no less than 1 million gold soul coins."
Ling Yun's voice was clear and pleasant, with a unique charm that instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire auction hall.
She stood gracefully on the auction stage, her gaze sweeping across the room, as if awaiting an intense competition.
"10 million gold soul coins!"
As soon as the auction began, Ning Qitian immediately raised his bidding paddle, taking the lead in the competition.
His movements were decisive, showing the decisiveness and dominance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader.
No matter how other forces bid, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was determined to win this item.
Even if they had to forgo the subsequent auction items, they would secure this Martial Soul Awakening Stone.
"12 million gold soul coins!"
Yan Shaozhe of Shrek Academy also raised his paddle to join the competition, but his momentum was not as strong.
After all, their main purpose for coming this time was to seek treatment for Mu Lao, not to obsess over this item.
His bid felt more like a test, weighing the value of the Awakening Stone against the academy's mission.
"15 million gold soul coins!"
Du Bu Si of the Body Sect was also unwilling to fall behind, raising his paddle.
For the Body Sect, this Martial Soul Awakening Stone could enhance their body martial souls, and it might even lead to the awakening of other powerful body parts, improving the overall strength of their sect.
He was also not willing to give up easily.
The Body Sect, known for its unique body martial souls, had a strong desire for anything that could strengthen their body martial souls.
As time passed, other forces also joined the competition.
Compared to the subsequent auction items, the intensity of the bidding for the first item was somewhat milder.
Ling Yun was not surprised by this; she knew that most forces intended to save their gold soul coins for the more precious items later.
