Douluo Continent: Peerless Fusion Evolution

Chapter 79 Elegance!

The hostess bowed respectfully: "Distinguished guest, please wait a moment while I inform the manager."

Li Sansi nodded, his gaze casually surveying the surrounding environment.

This office room is very spacious and bright.

The overall space design is simple yet exudes a grand and luxurious feel, giving it a very high-end vibe.

The walls and floors of the room are all paved with white marble, giving it a very luxurious feel.

There are scroll paintings hanging on the wall, depicting mountains, rivers and lakes. They are very lifelike and have a unique artistic conception.

There was also a bench and several cushions in the room, obviously for guests to rest.

Li Sansi walked to the bench and sat down, quietly waiting for the manager of the room to arrive.

After a short while, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

squeak!

The door opened, and a portly man appeared in Li Sansi's field of vision. Judging from his aura, he was probably at the Soul King level.

"Hello, esteemed guest. I am the manager of Starlight Auction House. May I ask how you require anything?" the manager said with slight respect.

Those who can come to the Starlight Auction House are all either rich or noble. From Li Sansi's temperament, the manager could sense that Li Sansi had an extraordinary background.

Li Sansi looked at the steward with some surprise; the snobbish attitude he had imagined did not materialize.

He did not reveal his identity and was also wearing a white mask, belonging to the lowest tier.

But the fat man in front of me was very respectful.

Li Sansi stated his purpose directly: "I heard that one of your auction items is a listing engraving knife?"

The steward nodded and said, "Although I don't know how the distinguished guest found out, there is indeed a list-engraving knife."

"Alright, I'll take it. I heard this carving knife has failed to sell at auction many times. I'll just buy it directly. I don't think you'll refuse."

The manager was slightly pleased. Li Sansi was right; this carving knife had indeed failed to sell at auction many times. As for why it failed to sell, he felt it necessary to explain it to Li Sansi.

The manager said, "Of course we won't refuse, but esteemed guest, the reason this carving knife failed to sell is because it has a flaw. If you still want to buy it after hearing this, then I will sell it to you."

"This carving knife is called the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. It ranks ninety-ninth among the listed carving knives. Because it was made by an evil soul master, it has the characteristic of turning against its master."

"The previous owners of this sword all died from its backlash. If one's will is not strong, one will not only fall into the trap of becoming an evil spirit master, but also endanger one's life."

After listening to the steward's words, Li Sansi was certain that this was the engraving knife he was looking for.

He wasn't trying to create any soul tool; he was after the materials for it.

Gold of life!

If he obtains this, his healing ability will be extremely powerful, with a built-in blood regeneration pool, making it almost impossible for him to die.

As for how to purify this knife, there's no idea yet, but I'll buy it first and put it in my system inventory.

Light and flames should both be able to be purified.

Li Sansi tossed out a gold card and said calmly, "Let's make a trade!"

The manager was taken aback; he had already explained the situation, yet this VIP still wanted to make a purchase.

His eyes showed even greater respect and trust: "Yes, esteemed guest, this item is priced at 100,000 gold soul coins."

Transaction complete!

As soon as Li Sansi got his hands on the carving knife, he felt a fierce aura rushing towards him. In terms of physical strength, Li Sansi was very powerful, but in terms of mental strength, he was only at an average level.

With a thought, he tossed the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife into his system inventory to gather dust.

Li Sansi left not long ago.

"Someone, tell Auctioneer Qingya that the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is no longer up for auction; I've already sold it."

"Yes, sir!"

As Li Sansi returned to the auction house, the auction had already begun!

Huo Yuhao bought a soul tool called the Soul Guidance Paralysis Ray, mainly for research purposes. In addition, since he is now a Soul Master, he can also use it.

During this period, he made significant progress in his knowledge of soul tools and also earned some money.

Since he entered the Soul Guidance Department, he no longer needed to sell grilled fish. He could occasionally sell the low-level Soul Guidance Devices he made, and thus saved some money on his own.

A level-three soul tool isn't very valuable, worth only a little over a thousand gold soul coins. It might be a bit more expensive at an auction, but it's still affordable for Huo Yuhao.

An auction for a product called "baby bottle" is currently underway, hosted by a purple-level auctioneer named Qingya.

She has a refined and dignified appearance, long hair cascading down her shoulders, skin as white as snow, and eyes as serene as mountains and rivers, radiating endless tenderness.

Her graceful curves, accentuated by a long purple dress, exuded a mature charm.

Especially that enormous evil, even Li Sansi couldn't help but take a second look, it was his type.

Xu Sanshi's gaze immediately fixed on Qingya, revealing a lecherous look.

"Is it pretty?" Wang Dong'er asked, sounding a little angry.

Li Sansi's lips twitched as he was surprised that his casual glance had been noticed.

With a confused look, he asked, "What's interesting?"

Wang Dong'er looked at Li Sansi, who was feigning confusion, and gritted her teeth: "Do you think I didn't see it? Your eyes were practically shining when you looked at that auctioneer, and you're still pretending."

Li Sansi's expression suddenly turned serious: "What are you thinking about? I was just a little lost in thought when I saw that baby bottle in her hand. It's so white, oh no, good baby bottles are rare in Douluo Three Kingdoms."

Looking at Li Sansi's seemingly honest demeanor, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Could it be that she had misunderstood him?

He Caitou then spoke up, "The captain is right. We didn't expect to see baby bottles at this auction, especially level four ones. This trip has been worthwhile!"

After receiving confirmation from He Caitou, Wang Dong'er realized she had indeed misunderstood him and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Sansi, I misunderstood!"

Li Sansi wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, He Caitou was there, otherwise he would have had a hard time explaining himself.

For some reason, Li Sansi just didn't want Wang Dong'er to know about this.

Knowing this would probably be very troublesome.

In his view, it was just a glance, nothing serious, but he just didn't want to admit it.

At this moment, Qingya explained the function of the baby bottle to everyone: "The baby bottle is used to replenish soul power. It can replenish the strength of a soul master of a certain level."

"The starting bid for this baby bottle is 6,000 gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 100 gold soul coins higher!"

As soon as the elegant auctioneer finished speaking, the price quickly began to climb.

Li Sansi said, "Does anyone need this baby bottle? We can buy it; it will be very beneficial for the upcoming competition."

He Caitou said, "Captain, we can buy it. We can all use it, and in case of an emergency, we can use it to replenish our soul power."

Beibei nodded in agreement. This baby bottle is very cost-effective and it's not a disposable item.
