Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 73 The Carving Knife of the List - Ten Thousand Miles of Withering

Xue Lingyu led the others out, leaving the four of them alone in the private room.

"So? Do any of you have any soul bones that you've taken a fancy to?"

Ye Xuanxin looked at the three women and asked.

This question surprised both Ju Zi and Jiang Nannan.

"Brother Xuanxin, are you saying you want to give me one?"

"Young master, please, this is too valuable."

"How is that possible?"

Ye Xuanxin smiled and shook his head; he wasn't going to be a sucker.

"What I mean is, if there's anything suitable for you, you can contact me to buy it."

"After all, encountering a suitable soul bone is a rare and precious thing."

"Given our relationship, we shouldn't let outsiders benefit from this, should we?"

"Forget it. I don't have any money."

Orange shrugged, looking helpless.

"If even Senior Orange doesn't have money, then I'm even less likely to have any. Young master, please choose according to your own needs."

Jiang Nannan also chimed in, saying that she couldn't even afford a Xuan Shui Pill worth tens of thousands of gold soul coins, so how could she possibly afford a soul bone?

"What kind of talk is that?"

"Sister Orange is a Soul Master. Although her level is still low now, she will definitely not lack those millions of gold soul coins in the future."

"As for Sister Nannan, her talent is also quite good. She should be able to afford a soul bone in the future."

"Most importantly, the soul bone will greatly help your future development, so the sooner you fuse with it, the better."

"Once you miss this opportunity, you might never get another chance."

"Don't think I'm just being polite. In my future plans, I don't need to fuse soul bones. If I don't sell them to you, I'll have to sell them to someone else."

"Shall I choose one?"

Orange Road.

"But it's a deal, I won't take advantage of you. We'll write you an IOU, and you'll get exactly what you owe. I'll charge you 10% interest. How about that?"

"Of course, I'm not so generous as to give away millions."

Ye Xuan thought to himself, "You should know that a family of three only spends a few dozen gold soul coins a year."

"What about Sister Nannan?"

"Should I just forget about it?"

"I can't possibly pay back several million gold soul coins."

Jiang Nannan shook her head.

"You still need to have some confidence in yourself, Sister Nan. You're a genius who got into Shrek Academy, and you've been making pretty good progress with your soul tools, haven't you?"

"."

Jiang Nannan shook her head again.

She looked up and glanced at Ye Xuanxin.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

Even if she had the ability to repay the money, she didn't want it.

She understood that even if she sold it, she would still owe Ye Xuanxin a huge favor.

The other party had previously saved his mother's life, and simply taking care of them for a few years was not enough to repay that kindness.

She didn't want to owe this young man anything anymore.

Jiang Nannan has always been a person with a gentle exterior but a strong interior. Her pride does not allow her to enjoy the kindness of others for no reason, especially Ye Xuanxin.

Seeing this, Ye Xuanxin didn't try to persuade her further.

"Well then, Sister Nan's martial soul is the Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit, and that Phantom Demon Rabbit soul bone is quite suitable for you. I'll take it for now. If you change your mind later, I can sell it to you, but if you really don't want to, I'll just sell it myself, how about that?"

"Young master, you don't need to do that. You can."

"Sister Nan, this is my freedom, you have no right to interrupt."

Ye Xuanxin waved her hand, somewhat domineeringly silencing her.

He then turned to look at the orange.

"Which soul bone has Sister Orange set her sights on?"

"That Spirit-Gathering Demon Vine Soul Bone, perhaps?"

"The soul bones of these soul beasts are generally skills that enhance soul power, which is quite suitable for me as a soul master."

"Alright then."

"As for the last piece..."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Ye Xuanxin's eyes.

Soul bones are dispensable to him. After all, he will definitely need a complete set of soul bones over 100,000 years old to make his own artificial soul bones in the future. If he gets them now, they will only have some research value.

"I suggest you choose the one that's five thousand years old."

Ye Bing'er suddenly spoke up.

Ye Xuanxin looked at her in astonishment.

But then Ye Bing'er leaned close to his ear.

Its fragrance is like orchids, and it tickles a little.

"That soul bone has an aura very similar to that of Sister Xue Di, only the attributes are different."

Ye Xuanxin was even more astonished.

He replied quietly.

"Sister Xue's true form is an ice goddess, a naturally born ice elemental spirit."

"So the soul beast that produced that five-thousand-year-old soul bone must have been a newly born fire spirit?"

"I don't know, take it back and study it."

"oh."

Thus, the promise made by the Douling Royal Family to Ye Xuanxin regarding the three soul bones less than 50,000 years old was confirmed.

A 43,000-year-old Phantom Rabbit left arm bone, a 39,000-year-old Spirit Gathering Vine right arm bone, and a 5,000-year-old Fire Element right arm bone.

However, Ye Xuanxin did not summon the beautiful woman.

Because the auction is about to begin.

I waited a while longer.

The walls of the private room slowly rose.

A soul-guided device screen embedded in the wall was revealed.

The screen was prominently displaying footage of the upcoming auction.

Since they were in the most upscale private rooms, they naturally didn't have to endure the noisy environment outside.

On the screen, on the auction stage, the lights suddenly blazed on.

A stunningly beautiful young woman appeared on the stage.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to Lingdou Auction House."

"I am Xue Xiaoxiang, the host of this auction."

"I hope everyone finds something they like here tonight."

"Without further ado, let's look at today's first auction item."

"."

Ye Xuanxin only glanced at it before losing interest.

He turned to look at Ju Zi and Jiang Nannan.

He said it with great pride.

"If there's anything you want, just tell me, and I can take a picture of it for you temporarily."

"Hehe, no need. I already owe you millions."

"You should see for yourself what you need."

Orange smiled brightly and declined.

Although she had Xu Tianran's backing, she couldn't just use Xu Tianran's money as she pleased.

Xu Tianran's daily expenses for bribing officials throughout the Sun Moon Empire were considerable.

Ye Xuanxin shook her head.

He also has the support of the far north and the stars, and even a god-level powerhouse behind him. What can't he get?

However, he was quickly proven wrong.

All that could be heard from Xue Xiaoxiang on the screen was her voice.

"Next, please welcome the final item of this auction!"

A high platform covered with a red cloth slowly rose from the auction stage.

Xue Xiaoxiang ripped the red cloth off.

A uniquely shaped blade suddenly appeared before everyone.

The blade was about half a foot long, and it narrowed from top to bottom, with the very bottom part being extremely sharp and gleaming coldly.

The blade was covered with snowflake patterns, and just one glance at it could make one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, with an aura of extreme cold and desolation quietly spreading out.

"This is?"

Ye Xuanxin was slightly taken aback.

"A carving knife? No! It must be a list-carving knife!"

"That's right!"

"I'm sure our knowledgeable guests have already recognized the origin of this item!"

"This is precisely the most treasured tool of a Soul Master! A ranking engraving knife, number fifty-seven!"

"Its origin is that a thousand years ago, a ninth-level Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire was traveling across the continent when he witnessed a mysterious Soul Beast unleashing its Soul Skill in the far north, and this act inspired him to create this carving knife!"

Its name is "Ten Thousand Miles of Desolation!"

"Later, this level nine Soul Master perished in the battle against the Star Luo Empire, and this carving knife eventually ended up in my Douling Empire!"

"Ten Thousand Miles of Desolation, starting bid 700,000 Gold Soul Coins! Each bid must increase by at least 2,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let the bidding begin!"
