Kong Deming felt a sacred voice full of Destiny explode in his ears.
He stared at Huo Yuhao with disbelieving eyes, and it took him a long time to recover, stammering.
“Yuhao, this… that voice just now, is it also an ability of your Spirit?” Nodding, Huo Yuhao no longer needed to explain much.
“Alright, I believe you.” In front of that irresistible voice, Kong Deming was already extremely certain that his disciple’s second Spirit was absolutely unimaginably powerful.
The Engraving Trait, this ability alone, was enough to elevate this Spirit to an unprecedented height when acquiring spirit rings for it in the future.
As long as his disciple’s physical quality could keep up, and he specifically chose Spirit Beasts with ultimate attributes, he couldn’t even imagine what level he could reach.
Not to mention the mysterious Bell of Destiny!
“However…” Kong Deming was still worried, and he instructed again, “I will not interfere with your own opportunities, but to ensure your safety, I will still secretly arrange for someone to protect you.” This was already the best outcome, and Huo Yuhao agreed without a second thought.
At worst, when he entered the Far North Land, he would quietly use his Mind Interference Domain to shake off those secretly protecting him.
Coupled with the starlight ring’s concealment ability, as long as he didn’t want to be found, no one could find him, not even a Titled Douluo.
“Alright, you child always bring surprises to me, and you don’t consider whether my old heart can take it.
After this week’s medicinal bath, hurry up and scram, go do whatever you need to do.” “Oh.” Huo Yuhao still had things to do, so he didn’t stay here any longer.
He was completely unaware that a certain old man had fallen into deep self-isolation at this moment.
After he left, Kong Deming’s eyes were still a bit unfocused, and he kept muttering words of envy.
“Engraving Trait, how many ultimate attributes will there be in the future?
Can this brat’s physical quality handle it?
He’s acting like nothing happened…” From beginning to end, he didn’t mention the reward from Xu Tianran.
A teacher should always protect his disciple.
He knew exactly what Xu Tianran was planning.
Politics was not something the current Yuhao could get involved in.
Night.
Sun Moon Empire Royal Auction House.
As the top auction house in the Sun Moon Empire’s imperial capital, the Royal Auction House’s prestige naturally goes without saying.
When Huo Yuhao stepped inside, the spirit tool exhibition hall that greeted him almost blinded him.
Just this ordinary exhibition hall on the first floor, not involving auctions, displayed dozens of large and small fifth and sixth-grade spirit tools.
spirit tool milk bottles, invincible shields, and flying spirit tools were all available, along with many other treasures.
One could imagine how many treasures would be bid on during the auction.
Today happened to be the monthly heavy treasure auction segment.
As a bidder, Huo Yuhao, after verifying his funds, signed a confidentiality agreement according to the procedure and, carrying his huge sum of over 13 million gold coins, followed a maid into the exclusive auction hall.
Ten-thousand-year whale glue could be directly purchased in the outer exhibition hall.
After selecting two pieces of whale glue around ten thousand years old, and one piece thirty thousand years old, and paying 800,000 gold coins, Huo Yuhao’s purpose for this trip could be said to have been achieved.
The value of whale glue is directly linked to its age and quality.
A piece of well-preserved thousand-year whale glue is worth approximately 10,000 to 100,000 gold coins, while ten-thousand-year whale glue has a severe premium, ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 gold coins.
After packing all the ten-thousand-year quality whale glue, Huo Yuhao also became interested in this auction.
It was a Douluo specialty, so to speak, something not to be missed.
Perhaps Jing Hongchen or Kong Deming had already made arrangements, as the maid, after verifying Huo Yuhao’s identity, directly led him to a top-tier private room.
The entrance to the auction hall was very discreet.
The main entrance was a sunken staircase, descending 20 meters underground before reaching the registration desk, and then guided in by maids in red dresses.
After that was a golden corridor, 10 meters wide, with a floor paved with ivory jade bricks, walls covered in gold foil and intricately carved patterns, and spirit tool crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Once inside, the auction hall’s space formed a three-dimensional golden World.
The auction hall was divided into a common hall and top-tier private rooms.
The common hall could accommodate 200 people, with dim lighting, and was dedicated to mid-to-low-grade auctions, meaning spirit tools below sixth-grade, and treasures worth around a million gold coins.
The top-tier hall had nothing to do with money; it was a symbol of status.
It had exclusive viewing windows, made of high-definition special spirit tool glass, offering a panoramic view of the entire hall.
The sofas were made of rare Spirit Beast fur, and there were exclusive built-in optical screens that transmitted real-time images of the auction items, driven by dedicated Soul Power.
Huo Yuhao was brought to Private Room No.
2 in the top-tier hall.
To be honest, he felt a bit surprised, but when he thought of his current status as Kong Deming’s closed-door disciple, it seemed much more reasonable.
The walls of the top-tier private rooms were all made of special spirit tool metal, making it impossible to detect who was in another private room.
What Huo Yuhao didn’t know was that in Private Room No.
3 next door, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings, had already arrived before him.
Half an hour later, the auction officially began.
Huo Yuhao initially thought he was a big spender, but with the appearance of each item on the spirit tool screen, especially some seventh and even eighth-grade spirit tools, their exorbitant prices still made him hesitate.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford them, but there was no need.
He now had the Red Dust Protection, a triggered ninth-grade defensive spirit tool, and the starlight ring, a ninth-grade spirit tool.
There was really no need to be interested in these not-so-impressive eighth-grade spirit tools, and he couldn’t even use them.
However, as the auction progressed, an item that interested Huo Yuhao finally appeared.
“Secret method soul bone?” Looking at the special Spirit Bone on the spirit tool screen, he couldn’t help but become more serious.
This kind of item is different from natural Spirit Bones; it is a special existence with artificially synthesized attributes.
It is formed through special means, such as killing 100 Spirit Beasts of the same kind within half an hour, and there is only a 10% chance of generation.
Its essence is closer to a “pseudo-Spirit Bone” rather than a naturally dropped Spirit Bone.
It also has functional flaws; it does not come with Spirit Bone skills, only increases Soul Power by 5%, its quality is far inferior to natural Spirit Bones, and it does not indicate a specific age.
Its value mainly depends on the strength of the synthetic materials.
But none of these could dampen Huo Yuhao’s interest, because this type of Spirit Bone had a characteristic he desperately needed: this secret method soul bone possessed fusion properties and could be compatible with other Spirit Bones.
“I didn’t expect to encounter something like this here.” Later, when he goes to the Far North Land, if there are no accidents, the fusion of Spirit Bones when the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor sacrifices itself will play a crucial role, and the secret method soul bone can be very important.
After listening to the Auctioneer’s introduction, Tianmeng, who had been dormant, suddenly emerged.
“Tsk tsk tsk, human Spirit Masters are truly cruel to even think of such a method.”
