Huo Yuhao did not answer this.
The secret method soul bone could be said to be an alternative Spirit Bone developed by the Sun Moon Empire due to resource limitations.
We don’t know why, even with resource limitations, they still massively hunt Spirit Beasts to synthesize this pseudo-Spirit Bone.
Doesn’t this further exacerbate the scarcity of Spirit Beast resources?
It simply doesn’t make sense.
As for why Shrek Academy also has secret method soul bones, it’s naturally through the black market.
As for spirit tools, apart from those above Level Seven, the black market transactions of other low-level spirit tools are not strictly restricted at all.
What’s the big deal about smuggling secret method soul bones?
Also, don’t ask why Shrek uses this kind of thing.
Just say that our Shrek is bright and magnificent, and the matter of secret method soul bones has been settled.
We just can’t bear to waste the resources.
Although Tianmeng said that just now, he still gave his own suggestion.
“Yuhao, the characteristics of this Spirit Bone will be helpful for our next steps.
Buy it.” Clearly, Tianmeng also realized the use of this secret method soul bone.
“Don’t worry, Tianmeng, we’re not short on gold coins now.” The facts were exactly as Huo Yuhao said.
Because there was no premium, and the secret method soul bone was exclusive to the Sun Moon Empire and hadn’t been smuggled to the Douluo Three Kingdoms via the black market to earn a price difference, he only spent less than one million gold coins to acquire this secret method soul bone.
These auctioned items are delivered to the private rooms by special personnel, so there’s no need to worry about safety.
The Royal Auction House is backed by the royal family and Mingde Hall, with hidden high-level Soul Guiderr guards.
Those who maliciously bid or forcibly seize auctioned items will be directly killed.
No one would be so foolish as to cause trouble here.
After putting away the secret method soul bone, Huo Yuhao had no interest in the subsequent auctioned items.
Only a 30,000-year-old Icefire Wolf King’s left leg bone caught his attention.
After symbolically bidding twice, seeing that the adjacent private room was determined to win, he stopped bidding.
(Actually, it’s ice and poison dual attributes, but these two words are difficult to put together, so everyone can just assume it’s fire-poison.) On the other side, private room number three.
Xiao Hongchen sneered, “Hmph, trying to compete with this genius in wealth?
Wishful thinking.” After saying that, he looked at Meng Hongchen with a smile.
“That’s great, Meng.
We originally came today just to have a look, but we didn’t expect to encounter a left leg bone with ice and fire dual attributes.
What a pleasant surprise.” Meng Hongchen was also very happy.
“Mm, this Spirit Bone can indeed be called a pleasant surprise.
My Vermillion Ice Toad Spirit is ice and poison dual-attribute, and this Spirit Bone will help me reach a higher level.” Although the 30,000-year-old Icefire Wolf King’s left leg bone wasn’t top-tier, its rarity lay in its matching attributes.
Besides, any Spirit Bone over 10,000 years old is a treasure, and moreover, in the Sun Moon Empire, she had nothing to complain about.
Furthermore, what’s the difference between a Spirit Bone that can be bought with money and one that’s given for free?
The Hongchen Family has no shortage of gold coins.
After the auction ended, the Xiao Hongchen siblings exited the Royal Auction House through their private room’s exclusive passage.
They originally thought the day would end like this, but as soon as they stepped out, they were attracted by a figure in front of them.
“Meng, I think I saw the guy we were looking for.” Xiao Hongchen pointed at Huo Yuhao’s figure in front, speaking with some disbelief.
Meanwhile, Meng Hongchen had no mind to listen to her older brother speak.
Her attention was completely drawn to Huo Yuhao’s figure in front of her.
Her small face was flushed, and her eyes seemed to be sparkling with pink bubbles.
“Ice-blue hair, eyes like the starry sky, and that chiseled, handsome face—that’s right, it’s Huo Yuhao, as described by those low-grade students.” “He…
he’s really handsome.
His temperament feels a bit cold and arrogant.
Will our child in the future…” Xiao Hongchen directly interrupted with a dark face, a few dark lines faintly appearing on his forehead.
“Hey, hey, hey, Meng, you’re being too exaggerated.
That guy is just a little handsome, is it really necessary to look so smitten?” “Stupid big brother, do you know what love at first sight is, or giving oneself in marriage?
Forget it, you simply can’t understand this feeling.” At this moment, Huo Yuhao in front also noticed the two of them.
He frowned.
Each private room’s exit channel was different.
He didn’t expect to encounter this brother and sister here.
By now, Xiao Hongchen had walked up to Huo Yuhao, trying his best to maintain his arrogant persona.
“Hey, you’re Huo Yuhao, right?
I heard you broke the Empire’s record for becoming a Second-Level Soul Engineer the fastest.
That’s really good.
I, Xiao Hongchen, acknowledge you here.” He then smirked, “However, the Empire’s fastest records for becoming a Third-Level and Fourth-Level Soul Engineer are still held by me.
I look forward to you catching up to me in the near future.” Huo Yuhao: “?” What nonsense was this kid babbling about, walking up to him out of nowhere?
When did he say he wanted to catch up to him?
“Uh, you’re Dean Jing Hongchen’s grandson, right?
I’ve heard of you at the Academy.
Let’s get acquainted.
As you said, my name is Huo Yuhao.” Showing off and slapping faces, what a cliché plot.
He was just a male tsundere with a strong competitive Spirit and inflated confidence.
Old Huo owed Jing Hongchen a favor, so being nice to his grandson was fine.
This immediately left Xiao Hongchen flustered.
What’s going on?
With his arrogant words and smug expression, when other geniuses heard them, didn’t they always retort?
What’s with this Huo Yuhao in front of him, being so gentle and refined now?
It completely disrupted all his plans.
He couldn’t utter any of his show-off lines and felt a bit stifled.
It’s over, this doesn’t follow the usual script.
He didn’t know how to respond.
“Oh, oh, hello.
My name is Xiao Hongchen.
I even went to Class Three of the Academic Department to look for you today.” Xiao Hongchen instinctively extended his hand.
Looking at Huo Yuhao at this moment, he actually felt a strange sense of goodwill, which struck him as particularly odd.
Meng Hongchen on the side covered her mouth and snickered.
It was rare to see her older brother stumble like this.
However, although she was flirtatious, when she truly walked up to Huo Yuhao, she became reserved.
She giggled softly and introduced herself playfully.
“Hello, Huo Yuhao.
My name is Meng Hongchen, and I’m Xiao’s younger sister.” “The Dean’s granddaughter, I’ve heard much about you.” Huo Yuhao extended his hand and lightly clasped Meng Hongchen’s small hand, just enough to be polite.
At this moment, Meng Hongchen’s red eyes stared at Huo Yuhao.
As a visual person, she was clearly very susceptible to this, and her heart had already begun to pound, leaving Huo Yuhao bewildered.
It was confirmed.
Although these two grandchildren of the Dean were famous in the Academic Department, recognized as super geniuses rarely seen in a thousand years before him, Huo Yuhao felt he had already seen through the personalities of this brother and sister.
One was arrogant and somewhat narcissistic, while the other was a playful but remarkably contrasting infatuated girl.
The Hongchen Family truly produces talented individuals!
The first meeting between the two parties became exceptionally harmonious due to Huo Yuhao’s proactive display of a gentle attitude.
The three walked towards the Academy, talking and laughing, getting to know each other.
Xiao Hongchen even forgot his original intention and proactively inquired about Huo Yuhao’s two spirit tool works.
His initial provocative words couldn’t be uttered in the face of Huo Yuhao’s gentle approach, and he even felt a sense of mutual appreciation in his heart.
Uh…
Xiao Hongchen, who was already at Level 48, explained this situation as a mutual appreciation between peerless geniuses.
He felt that he might get along well with Huo Yuhao in the future.
As for Meng Hongchen, she secretly tried to get close to Huo Yuhao several times, but was repeatedly stopped by her silly older brother, pouting until they parted ways at the Academy.
