Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 109 Curse
"Sir, this is inappropriate..."

The auctioneer spoke subconsciously, then quickly swallowed the word "rules".

The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has appeared in the Starlight Auction House for quite some time. Just as those people said just now, not only has it flowed here from other high-end auction houses, but the reserve price has also been lowered again and again, and now there are only 100,000 gold soul coins left.

They had even promised that if the auctioneer could sell the fierce blade, he would get a commission of 1% of the total amount.

Now that someone who is interested in the Soul-Devouring Knife has finally come, he can't just chase him away just because he says something against the rules.

On one hand, it was to let others take a look, and on the other hand, it was to get a 1% commission. The auctioneer gritted his teeth and finally relented, "Yes, my dear guest, please come up to the stage and take a look."

Some people who hadn't yet left the auction hall stopped in their tracks when they heard the conversation between Lin Xiao and the auctioneer. People always wanted to join in the fun, and they also wanted to see if the carving knife would sell.

Lin Xiao did not avoid them and stood up and walked towards the auction table.

"If the customer is unsure, it is better not to touch it directly."

After all, he is an auctioneer, so he knows how to talk. He was afraid that Lin Xiao would break the rules and didn't want him to touch anything. But when he spoke, he meant it for Lin Xiao's own good.

Lin Xiao glanced at the auctioneer, and quickly turned his gaze to the carving knife in front of him. He did not make it too difficult for the auctioneer. He stopped one step away from the table where the carving knife was placed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully felt the contents of the carving knife.

This is the gold of life...

A thought slowly arose in his mind, but Lin Xiao did not relax his vigilance at all.

As an evil soul master, he understood far better than anyone else how terrifying and bizarre the evil soul masters' methods were, especially curses, which were not only extremely covert, but even more bizarre than other methods.

Even Lin Xiao, who knew a lot about evil soul masters, did not dare to easily conclude that he could solve the curse on the carving knife.

Therefore, even though the Gold of Life is right before his eyes, he will give it up without hesitation if he does not have the thought of resolving the curse.

"Sir, it's rumored that the Soul Devouring Knife was originally used by a powerful evil soul master. His cultivation once reached the ninth level, and he brought bloodshed to the entire continent three thousand years ago."

"And this carving knife was made in his later years. It's rumored that it contains a trace of the soul of that evil soul master, which will continue to lead people to evil. According to the auction house's speculation, if the soul master who uses it has a light attribute and is mentally strong enough, it is possible that they will not be affected by the backlash."

Seeing that Lin Xiao was looking at it seriously, the auctioneer next to him also whispered to introduce more details about the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly after listening to her words.

Although rumors are always exaggerated and most of the content is not true, some rumors are also based on facts.

He did feel the breath of a remnant soul from the carving knife.

The evil soul master who left a remnant of his soul on the Soul-Devouring Knife only knew that the gold of life contained powerful power, but did not know how to use it, so he set up a curse as a revenge, and even did not hesitate to separate a wisp of his own soul and hide it in it.

Lin Xiao didn't know how to evolve the curse, but he just happened to have some research on the soul.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly turned around and returned to his seat in the audience.

"Sir, you..." The auctioneer looked at Lin Xiao with some anticipation.

"I'll offer 100,000 gold soul coins." Lin Xiao raised the number 13 sign in his hand, and then lay back in his seat like before.

"Alright, the mysterious item, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, has been bid 100,000 gold soul coins by customer number thirteen. Are there any other customers who want to raise the bid?" Those who hadn't left yet immediately looked at each other. Seeing Lin Xiao's performance just now, they boldly guessed that Lin Xiao might have found a way to remove the curse.

But they themselves don't know how to deal with the curse on it. If they rashly increase the price and let the carving knife fall into their hands, it will become a hot potato.

The auction hall suddenly fell silent. The auctioneer, as if expecting this, hammered down repeatedly, "One hundred thousand once, one hundred thousand twice, one hundred thousand three times. Deal!"

As if she was afraid that Lin Xiao would go back on his word, she brought down the hammer much faster.

"Sir, the delivery of the Gold Soul Coins is just around the corner. Please take a look at this item..." The auctioneer could no longer conceal the smile on his face, and he looked at Lin Xiao with a very humble attitude.

"Help me find a nice box to put it in."

"Yes."

The others who remained were more or less disappointed when they heard Lin Xiao's words. They had originally thought someone had finally broken the curse of the Soul Devouring Knife, but now it seemed they were unwilling to touch it and yet wanted a beautiful box. They were probably buying it back to keep it as a collection.

Everyone suddenly lost interest and left one after another.

Lin Xiao turned his head slightly to glance at the empty auction hall, then stood up and walked towards the place where the gold soul coins were to be delivered.

Although there were no gold soul coins to be obtained in the Holy Spirit Church, with his cultivation level, it would not be difficult for him to save up 100,000 gold soul coins.

Just like the metal he had extracted from the belly of the gold-devouring beast, which fetched a good price, he had also made a lot of money from the fur of the silver wolves. Adding to the transactions he had made with the Ordinary Alliance over the past two years, 100,000 gold soul coins wasn't too high a price for him.

After the payment and goods were settled, the people in the Starlight Auction House watched Lin Xiao put the box containing the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife into the storage soul guide. The expressions of the staff members instantly relaxed, as if they had finally let go of a big thing in their hearts.

"Sir, although you have only participated in one auction, the total transaction price has exceeded 100,000 Gold Soul Coins. Your level in the Starlight Auction House has been upgraded. The next time you come here, you can directly participate in the higher-level Purple Level Auction."

The auctioneer trotted over to Lin Xiao and handed him a purple card. Star-like patterns faintly formed a crown, with the words "Shen Hao" engraved in gold.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

"Guest, move slowly!"

Everyone behind Lin Xiao bowed.

After his figure completely disappeared and appeared outside the auction hall, the staff inside finally spoke again.

"Hurry, go tell the boss that the murderous blade has finally been sold."

"Yes." Someone immediately responded, "Should we check his identity?"

"After the report is completed, listen to the boss's instructions. We should not act on our own for such a mission."

"Yes."

On the other hand, after Lin Xiao walked out of the auction house, he did not rush back to his residence. Instead, he walked around various scenic spots like a real foreign tourist.
