Chapter 80 Strange Movements in the Ice Dragon King's Skull

"Elder Jin, how is the Sect Master's seclusion going?" Lin Feng asked tentatively.

"Everything is going smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to leave the pass soon," Jin Peng said succinctly.

"Senior Brother Long, how is your absorption of that Primordial Chaos Immortal Grass going?" Lin Feng asked Long Aotian.

"Great!" Long Aotian grinned, patting his solid chest. "Thanks to my junior brother, I've advanced from Silver-level to Gold-level after my second awakening, and my soul power has also reached level 59. If you need anything or want to fight, just call me anytime, and I'll back you up."

(Correction: Long Aotian was originally classified as Silver-level, but earlier chapters mistakenly wrote him as Gold-level.)

"Haha, it's a deal then. I'll have to rely on you a lot from now on, Senior Brother," Lin Feng said with a smile. Long Aotian was about the same age as Jiang Nannan, but he was already a late-stage Soul King. His talent was indeed no less than that of the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Junior brother, I've also broken through! I'm now a level 45 Soul Master!" Vina said excitedly, her eyes filled with laughter.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister," Lin Feng said sincerely.

"This is all thanks to your magic herb," ​​Vina said earnestly.

Jin Peng looked at the three young men before him, his bronze face softening slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Seeing you, I believe that the Body Sect will surely regain its glory in your generation."

"Mr. Jin, you flatter me. We'll all work together." Lin Feng nodded.

"Yes, let's encourage each other." Long Aotian and Vina solemnly agreed.

"The auction is about to begin," Jin Peng said in a deep voice, turning his gaze downwards.

The three of them stopped chatting and looked down at the exhibition booth.

The soul guidance screen in the center lit up again and became clear. A thin layer of white mist lingered on the platform, and a girl in a long red dress stood in the center.

The girl looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and her beauty was no less than Jiang Nannan's. Because she was a few years older, her figure was very well-developed, and her red dress made her skin look as white as snow, making her look like a celestial being.

"Even Princess Jiujiu has come out in person," Jin Peng's eyes flashed with understanding, "It seems there's a great treasure tonight."

"Princess?" Vina asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, she is the youngest sister of the current Star Luo Emperor, the chief auctioneer of the Star Luo Auction House, and the only gold-level auctioneer. She usually dresses like this to preside over the auction when there are items worth more than 100 million gold soul coins," Jin Peng explained in a low voice.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. It seemed that tonight's auction would not disappoint.

The auction proceeded smoothly amidst Princess Jiu Jiu's melodious voice.

"Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone! Thirty million Gold Soul Coins! Third time, sold!"

"Completely unaffordable—at this price, only a power of the imperial family could probably afford it," Lin Feng muttered to himself in the private room. This soul bone was an extremely rare and precious item for him, for Vina, and even for Ling Luochen. Unfortunately, the price was outrageous.

What he didn't know was that there was something fishy about that high price of 30 million.

Meanwhile, the Star Luo Empire's royal family secretly reached an agreement with Shrek Academy, and the soul bone was reserved by Ling Luochen. Lin Feng was currently with the Body Sect and naturally unaware of the inside story.

Ling Luochen now possesses the Spirit Ice Domain and the rudimentary form of the Profound Ice Spirit Flame Origin. His talent and potential are in no way inferior to those who possess the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, and he already has the foundation of a Super Douluo.

Shrek Academy naturally invested heavily in her education.

Next, Princess Jiu Jiu finally brought out the grand finale item for the evening's auction.

On the pristine white soul-guided screen, the image focused. A maid pushed a crystal platform slowly to the center of the platform. On the platform, an item was quietly placed.

It was a strange object, about a foot square. Below it was a dark wooden base, inlaid with over a hundred gemstones of various colors and shimmering light, forming an intricate array. Above the base, however, was a constantly writhing, ever-changing mass of milky-white energy!

This wisp of air was incredibly solid, as if it possessed a life of its own, violently thrashing about within its limited area, desperately trying to break free. Every time it crashed into the edge, the jewel-encrusted wooden base below would immediately light up with a soft yet resilient golden shield, firmly sealing it inside, rendering its struggles futile.

Princess Jiujiu's explanation helped everyone understand the specifics of the auction item.

That was an embryo formed when a 100,000-year-old soul beast was undergoing a transformation!

The entire device that imprisoned this embryo was none other than a complete level-nine soul tool, the God-Sealing Platform!

Whether it's the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo that could drive any force mad, or the God-Sealing Platform, a level-nine soul tool symbolizing the pinnacle of soul tool technology, either one is priceless.

The entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Lin Feng suddenly sat up straight.

A clear and distinct throbbing and resonance came from his spiritual sea—was it the Ice Dragon King's damaged skull reviving?!

It was actually drawn to a certain aura deep within the embryo, even through the ninth-level soul tool, the God-Sealing Platform!

This embryo, capable of triggering his Ice Dragon King skull, is no ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast; it might even be one of the legendary ferocious beasts of the far north.

Based on the information in the memories of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the two Ice and Snow Emperors have either been resisting the Heavenly Tribulation in recent years, or they may have chosen the path of transformation and rebirth.

"Old Jin," Lin Feng turned to Jin Peng, his gaze burning, "is there any way to obtain this embryo?"

Jin Peng glanced at the auction item below that had caused a sensation and slowly shook his head: "Unless we mobilize the royal power of the Heavenly Soul Empire, we cannot afford to bid for it even with all the funds of our sect. The sect leader has not yet emerged from seclusion, and I cannot make this decision."

but----"

He paused, a sharp glint in his eyes: "This thing must have come from the Sun Moon Empire. The fact that the Star Luo Empire's royal family dared to openly put it up for auction clearly shows that they wanted to rip off the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which was participating in the competition, or lure them into a trap."

"Once the auction is over—we'll just start looting."

"Mr. Jin is truly knowledgeable. Okay, count me in." Lin Feng nodded without any hesitation.

"Even if you don't make a request, I will still organize people to snatch it. Since that beast tide, we reached an agreement with Shrek Academy. The sect leader at the time swore an oath never to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Now, so many years have passed, and without the blessing of a 100,000-year-old soul ring, it will be difficult for the Body Sect to cultivate a new Super Douluo."

Everything that happened next was exactly as Jin Peng had predicted.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, accompanied by a level-nine soul tool, the God-Sealing Platform! 150 million gold soul coins! Third sale!"

Princess Jiujiu's golden hammer fell with a crisp sound. Finally, the breathtaking astronomical figure stopped at 150 million, ceasing to rise further.

VIP Room Number One.

"One hundred and fifty million—Master Mingde, I hope you will like this generous gift from me." The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire looked at Princess Jiujiu, a deep smile appearing on his lips.

VIP Room No. 2

"Outrageous! Why aren't you bidding anymore?" Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy sneered, revealing a sly smile. He then turned around and ordered, "Elder Ma, go and handle the handover immediately to ensure everything goes smoothly."

VIP Room No. 3.

"Let's go, prepare according to plan." Jin Peng pulled down his straw hat, the shadow under the brim completely obscuring his face, his voice calm and cold.

"Hmm." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He stood up and followed Jin Peng, silently blending into the departing crowd.
