The appearance of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone brought this auction to its climax.
The last soul bone is still more than 10,000 years old, but this time it was not taken into the possession of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
After several consecutive heavy losses, even though the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is rich enough to rival a country, it dare not spend too much at one time.
And it still applies: too much is as bad as too little.
Ning Fengzhi was very clear about this principle. It was enough to get one of the two ten thousand year soul bones, and the second ten thousand year soul bone was not very suitable for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
In the end, this fire-attribute soul bone was taken into the possession of the Fire Leopard Sect.
Speaking of the Fire Leopard Sect, the Soul Palace's first guardian, Huo Yuan, was forcibly brought into the Soul Palace by Xiao Mu.
Huo Yuan is now almost the steward of the Soul Palace. He is the busiest and most concerned person in the Soul Palace, but also one of the most loyal people.
When the Fire Leopard Sect learned that their elder had joined the Soul Palace, they were very angry at first and vowed to seek revenge.
However, as the Soul Palace's reputation grew and its strength became stronger, the Fire Leopard Sect immediately gave up this idea.
Don't even think about dealing with the Soul Palace, just hope that the Soul Palace doesn't deal with them.
The Fire Leopard Sect also changed from being angry and hostile towards the traitor Huo Yuan to being friendly towards him.
Even the leader of the Fire Leopard Sect personally sent a message to Huo Yuan, asking her to serve the Soul Palace wholeheartedly. The letter also said that all the members of the Fire Leopard Sect had great respect for the Soul Palace and wished that the entire sect would be bathed in the glory of the Soul Palace.
No matter how flattering he said, he was just short of saying that he was willing to be a dog for the Soul Palace.
After arriving in Tiandou City, the people of the Fire Leopard Sect were worried for a while, but they felt relieved when they found out that the Soul Palace really had no intention of targeting them.
They were completely open-minded about the elder being robbed. Having an elder join the Soul Palace meant they had some kind of relationship with the Soul Palace.
As for the ridicule from other forces, the Fire Leopard Sect responded with only one sentence.
"The Soul Palace only stole our elders because they thought highly of our Fire Leopard Sect. Does your sect have the qualifications to be robbed?"
This level of shamelessness amazed other sects.
The Soul Bone Auction was over, and just as everyone was about to leave, Xu Yunchang said:
"Everyone, wait a minute. Palace Master Xiao has something important to announce."
After hearing this, everyone who was about to leave, either excited or disappointed, sat down again quietly.
Every news released by the Soul Palace causes a sensation in the outside world, and they believe that this time is no exception.
Xiao Mu appeared on the auction table in an instant.
"I have an announcement for everyone. From now on, Soul-Breaking Pills of grades one to three will no longer be auctioned..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Most of these forces came to Tiandou City for the Soul-Breaking Pill. After all, they all knew the value of soul bones and the probability of obtaining them was low.
When they heard Xiao Mu say that the Soul-Breaking Pill would not be auctioned, they were extremely disappointed.
"Palace Master Xiao, is it because we're short of herbs? Our sect does have several medicinal plots that we can sell to Soul Palace."
"Palace Master Xiao, the elixir auction cannot be stopped..."
Xiao Mu pressed his palm.
"I only said I wouldn't auction them, not sell them. Soul-Breaking Pills and other third-grade and lower elixirs can be purchased directly from now on. If you're willing to sign a soul contract, you can get a substantial discount."
That's right, signing a soul contract is Xiao Mu's main purpose.
Xiao Mu had long thought about selling low-level elixirs directly. This would expand the range of buyers, increase the reputation of the Soul Palace, and allow elixirs to penetrate the soul master world, so that they would no longer be something that only a few people could possess.
Previously, this was due to the shortage of medicinal materials and the fact that he was the only alchemist.
Now the Soul Palace's low-level elixirs can be mass-produced. Dugu Bo, Ye Lingyun, and Yang Ziqi are all able to refine elixirs. These low-level elixirs can be handed over to them for refining in the future.
As to whether it will increase their burden and make them overwhelmed.
They were all Soul Palace's beasts of burden. What happened to 007? It was their prime time to shine for the Soul Palace. This was all the blessing the Soul Palace had bestowed upon them.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought there were not enough pills, but now it seems that there are not enough at all. There are clearly more than enough of them and they can be sold on a large scale.
Those soul masters who were originally struggling to compete with the big forces suddenly saw hope.
"Palace Master Xiao's merits are immeasurable."
"It's no exaggeration to say that the Soul Palace's contribution to the entire Soul Master world is unparalleled throughout history."
"Thank you, Palace Master Xiao, and thank you, Soul Palace. I'm grateful."
"…"
There was a burst of praise in the auction hall.
These words are not all flattery.
The large-scale sale of Soul-Breaking Pills will foreseeably boost the overall strength of the soul master community.
After all, most soul masters are at a level below Soul Sect. With the Soul Breaking Pill, there will definitely be a large number of low-level soul masters who can break through to the Soul Sect or even higher levels.
But some people also noticed another problem that Xiao Mu mentioned.
"Palace Master Xiao, you mentioned a discount for signing a soul contract. How big of a discount is that?"
Xiao Mu smiled slightly but did not specify the specific discount amount.
"All I can say is, the discount is far greater than you can imagine."
This made them even more itchy.
Anyone who can enter the auction house is definitely not too wealthy, but if they can buy the Soul-Breaking Pill at a lower price, wouldn't that benefit more disciples of the family or sect?
"Palace Master Xiao, I wonder what this soul contract is? Are there any consequences after signing it?"
People from several major sects are more concerned about this issue.
Soul contract, you know it's not a good thing as soon as you hear it, and it may have strong side effects.
Xiao Mu did not hide anything and directly told the effect of the soul contract.
When they heard that the soul would belong to the Soul Palace after death, many people immediately backed off.
"It's okay to spend more, it's hard to get such a good deal."
"Soul Palace is not so kind as expected. They actually need souls. Could it be that Soul Palace is planning to train corrupted soul masters?"
Unlike just now, these voices were basically just whispers, and even only occurred in the mind.
Xiao Mu had anticipated everyone's reactions and was not disappointed.
"I've finished speaking, everyone please go away."
After saying this, he left the auction table without waiting for anyone else to ask.
"Palace Master Xiao, do you have time? Qinghe has something to discuss with you."
Xiao Mu had previously decided to meet this multifaceted spy in her true identity, so he was not surprised by her words.
"Okay, you can come with us."
Qian Renxue said to Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, "You two can go back on your own. Palace Master Xiao and I have something to discuss."
Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
"Young Master left alone with the Soul Palace people. Could something unexpected happen?"
"It's hard to say."
"Without our protection, if the Soul Palace were to harm the young master..."
"Even if we follow, if the Soul Palace takes action, can you and I stop them alone?"
"This… I'm speechless."
These two people have been guarding Qian Renxue for a long time, and their "self-created soul skill" of eye contact has become perfect. In a short time, they exchanged several opinions.
"yes!"
In the end, the two were ready to follow orders.
