Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

"I offer fifteen thousand!"

Just then, one of the cultivators sitting in the chair, upon seeing the Blood Essence Sword, raised his right hand without hesitation.

Hearing the surrounding discussions, the white-haired youth curled his lips into a cold smile and said again, "Twenty thousand immortal jades."

This time, no one dared to answer.

Seeing this, Cang Songzi looked around and addressed everyone present, then shouted, "Twenty thousand immortal jades once! Twenty thousand immortal jades twice!"

After a pause, Cang Songzi's gaze swept across the entire room. Seeing that no one else was bidding, he brought down the gavel, nodded, and smiled, saying, "Twenty thousand immortal jades for three bids! Congratulations to this fellow Daoist for acquiring the Blood Essence Sword!"

The white-haired youth stood up, flashed onto the stage, handed a storage bag containing immortal jade to Cang Songzi, and then grabbed the Blood Essence Sword.

As he grasped the sword, he applied slight pressure with his fingertips, and a trace of his essence blood seeped into the scabbard through his fingers. The sword immediately emitted a low hum, and its crimson light intensified.

The handsome young man stroked the scabbard with satisfaction, and as he turned his head, his gaze inadvertently swept over Lin Che in the corner.

But when she met Lin Che's indifferent gaze, she felt a sudden chill and subconsciously looked away, quickly returning to her seat with the Blood Essence Sword in her arms.

That one glance just now gave him the illusion that he was being targeted by a natural enemy, as if the Blood Essence Sword in his hand was nothing more than a piece of scrap metal in the eyes of the other party.

"Hmm... why does this person feel so familiar... have we met somewhere before?"

Lin Che looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat and concealing his face with a black robe, raised an eyebrow, and realized that the other person should be someone he knew.

Li Qianmei then turned around and looked at Lin Che, asking with a face full of curiosity, "Brother Lin Che, do you know this person too?"

Lin Che said calmly, "I don't know. This person must have a special magic weapon. Even I can't see through his identity. He is very likely not a cultivator from the Cloud Sea Star Region."

Hearing this, Li Qianmei was also a little surprised. After all, Brother Lin Che was a powerful cultivator at the Four Stages of Decay of Heaven and Man. There were probably very few people throughout history who could make her unable to see through his cultivation.

…………

Before Lin Che could even speak, the next item was brought out for auction.

It was a blood-red sphere, and the energy emanating from it caused everyone in the room to involuntarily stop what they were doing, raise their eyebrows slightly, and stare at the sphere in disbelief.

Cang Songzi carefully put away the storage bag containing the immortal jade, tapped the edge of the auction stage lightly with his fingertips, and glanced at the venue, which was slightly calmer due to the Blood Essence Sword transaction. His voice suddenly rose a few decibels, carrying a deliberately created suspense.

"The Blood Essence Sword we just saw was merely an appetizer. For the next item, you all need to keep your eyes wide open, especially those of you who cultivate the Soul Path or need to temper your soul. You absolutely cannot miss this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cang Songzi raised his hand and took out an ancient jade box from his storage ring. The jade box was engraved with intricate soul-suppressing runes.

As the runes flowed, a faint dark red halo emanated from them, making the air seem heavier.

Cang Songzi did not open the jade box immediately, but deliberately paused for a moment, allowing the curiosity of the cultivators in the room to continue to rise.

He only slowly lifted the lid of the box when murmurs began to rise from the audience.

The moment the lid was opened, a powerful and ferocious aura suddenly erupted from the box!
That aura was different from the savagery of ordinary ferocious beasts; instead, it carried a chilling coldness that penetrated to the bone, as if it could directly pierce through a cultivator's physical body and pierce into the depths of their soul.

Many cultivators with weaker cultivation levels in the arena subconsciously raised their hands to cover their chests, their faces turned pale, and even their breathing became rapid.

In the center of the jade box lay a blood-red sphere, about the size of a fist, its surface covered with fine patterns. Within these patterns, a blood-red mist seemed to flow slowly, each flow accompanied by a faint, yet extremely penetrating, roar of a ferocious beast, sending chills down one's spine.

“This is…” one of the cultivators exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

Cang Songzi smiled smugly and gestured for everyone to calm down: "You all guessed correctly, this is a Blood Soul Bead formed from the soul of a twelfth-tier ferocious beast!"

"This ferocious beast was once known as the 'Crimson Flame Sky-Burning Beast,' which wreaked havoc in the eighth-tier star field for a hundred years before being slain by a reclusive Celestial Realm expert."

"His soul should have dissipated into the world, but it was locked by that powerful figure using a secret technique, and it took a thousand years to condense this Blood Soul Pearl."

Cang Songzi lightly touched the Blood Soul Pearl with his fingertip, and a gentle spiritual power was injected into it. The Blood Soul Pearl immediately lit up with a dazzling red light, and the phantom of a giant beast appeared in the red light.

The colossal beast was covered in flames, its four hooves treading on fire, and its ferocious head had three vertical pupils. Even its mere phantom made many of the Shattered Nirvana cultivators in the arena feel a chill run down their spines.

"The soul of a twelfth-tier ferocious beast!"

The audience erupted in cheers.

A twelfth-order ferocious beast is already an existence that can contend with a celestial cultivator. How vast must the soul power contained in its soul be?
Whether used to cultivate soul-path supernatural abilities, to integrate with magic weapons to enhance their power, or even to temper the soul when breaking through realms, it is a top-tier treasure.

Compared to this Blood Soul Pearl, even the previous eleventh-tier ferocious beast bone wings and Vajra Glazed Body seemed somewhat lackluster.

"Elder Cangsongzi, what is the starting bid for this Blood Soul Pearl?"

A cultivator dressed in purple robes asked impatiently. He was from the Ghost Sect, which was skilled in soul-capturing techniques. This Blood Soul Pearl was a treasure tailor-made for them.

Cang Songzi surveyed the entire room and slowly said, "The Blood Soul Pearl is extremely precious. The starting bid is 50,000 Immortal Jade. Each bid must be at least 5,000 Immortal Jade."

"Fifty thousand immortal jades!"

Gasps of astonishment rose and fell from the audience.

Fifty thousand immortal jades is equivalent to the total resources of many sixth-tier sects for a year, yet even so, some cultivators still immediately spoke up.

"Fifty-five thousand immortal jades! Elder Cangsongzi, my Ghost Sect wants this Blood Soul Pearl!" It was the purple-robed cultivator from before.

"Hmph, the Ghost Sect dares to monopolize it?"

Another rough voice rang out. The speaker was a burly man who exuded a wild and untamed aura, clearly a member of the Demon Sect.

"Sixty thousand Immortal Jade! The ferocious beast essence contained in this Blood Soul Pearl is even more useful to cultivators of my Demon Sect!"

"Sixty-five thousand immortal jades!"

Another person raised the price. This time it was a blue-robed cultivator from the Divine Sect. His expression was calm, but his tone carried an undeniable forcefulness.

"The Divine Sect is willing to offer 65,000 Immortal Jade. We hope that you will all give the Divine Sect some face."

"Face? Face is worthless in the face of treasure!" The demon sect man sneered. "Seventy thousand immortal jades!"

The price skyrocketed; in just half an incense stick's time, the Blood Soul Pearl's price exceeded 100,000 Immortal Jade. (End of Chapter)
