Douluo Continent: Becoming a God of Magic Starting with Your Martial Soul

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi suddenly stopped holding the pen.

"To be honest, I've come here to obtain a listed carving knife called the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. When will it be auctioned? And at what level?"

When the staff member saw Lu Yi arrive with a target, he immediately took it seriously and turned to help check the relevant arrangements.

After a while, he hurriedly returned.

"There's one the day after tomorrow, and the next one will be another month later. You have enough funds to participate, but I'm sorry I can't disclose any more details."

"A month?"

Are you kidding me?

He doesn't have time to waste a whole month here, and besides, school will have already started by then.

"Will you continue with your application?" The staff member maintained a polite smile.

"state!"

Since we're already here, we'll think of something else later.

"Please pay, one hundred gold soul coins."

Blanch!

Lu Yi was so angry he laughed. Helpless, he filled out the information and paid another 100 gold soul coins.

At this moment, he felt like a sucker, having been ruthlessly tricked by capital in his attempt to obtain the money for the living as soon as possible.

When Lu Yi came out of the auction, he was also somewhat bewildered.

Faced with the bustling city center and the throngs of people, he only felt noise.

Wandering aimlessly through the city streets, Lu Yi was suddenly drawn to a magnificent building that appeared before him.

On the exterior wall of the building, there was a huge signboard with a dazzling pattern outlined by soul-guided lamps, supporting a nine-story pagoda in the center.

Above the main entrance hangs an antique plaque with three large characters: Jiubaoge (Nine Treasures Pavilion).

Clearly, this is an industry that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has established in Star Luo City.

Lu Yi suddenly remembered the card Ning Tian had given him, which he hadn't had a chance to use since he got it.

His feet unconsciously stepped up the stairs, and as he entered the luxurious hall, a butler-like service staff member immediately came forward with an air of poise.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

Lu Yi was also here for the first time and didn't know what this place was for, so he asked, "What services do you provide?"

Seeing that Lu Yi didn't even know what this place was for, the staff guessed that he was a naughty child, raised their heads even higher, and spoke in a perfunctory tone.

"As long as the client has sufficient funds, we can provide services for any project currently available on the market!"

Lu Yi was surprised that the waiters here dared to speak so boldly.

"This place looks so proper, could it be that there are some exciting programs?"

The staff member, already getting impatient with Lu Yi's jokes about the place, said, "Do you even know where you are? I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lu Yi hold a card between two fingers and hand it to him.

At first glance, the card is entirely black with a white-gold pagoda printed in the center.

Under the bright light of the soul-guiding lamps indoors, the card, whether black or white-gold pagoda-shaped, refracted a dazzling array of colors.

"This—" The waiter paused for half a second, then immediately stopped looking down on them. "Oh, you're a distinguished guest! I apologize for the inconvenience!"

The man then hurriedly and attentively invited Lu Yi to the VIP room, serving him tea and snacks.

Lu Yi wasn't interested in those services and instead asked, "You mean you can provide any kind of service here?"

"The purpose of establishing Jiubaoge is to provide convenience for our valued guests; as long as it does not violate the law, everything is permissible!"

The waiter had long since lost his previous arrogance. He first nodded respectfully, then added, "If it violates the law, it will be a little more troublesome."

"Alright, nothing illegal!" Lu Yi waved his hand. "It's just about getting me a bidding slot at the Starlight Auction House and then getting me a guest room!"

"No problem!" the waiter agreed almost without hesitation. "Please wait a moment, sir! I'll get right on it!"

The waiter then stepped outside and gently closed the door.

Lu Yi was surprised that things had taken such a quick turn, and his mood improved.

Before long, the door was pushed open, and several waiters presented a sumptuous meal.

It must be said that the service here was indeed attentive. Lu Yi was feeling hungry, so he ate while waiting.

When they were about 70% full, the waiter returned and respectfully presented them with two cards.

One was a black card with an auction hammer printed on it, and the other was a red card with numbers printed on it.

"This black card is a VIP card for Starlight Auction House, allowing you to participate in the highest-level auctions. The red card grants you access to the penthouse suite. Does this suit your needs?" The waiter finished his introduction, without taking credit whatsoever. "Anything else you require?"

"That's enough. That's all for now." Lu Yi smiled and accepted the two cards. "Thank you!"

"Please enjoy your meal. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Once again, the waiter retreated to the outside of the door, but instead stood guard at the entrance.

"Damn it, what kind of life do rich people live?"

Lu Yi now understands why the scions of those powerful families are so arrogant.

If he were surrounded by a group of people bustling around him, doing everything they could to please him, then his backside would be much more perky than anyone else's.

Lu Yi ate a few more bites, then got up and, led by the waiter, entered the luxurious suite on the top floor.

After declining some extra services, Lu Yi threw himself onto the soft, large bed.

He felt that today's eventful experience was somewhat unreal.

With nothing else to do, Lu Yi had no intention of cultivating or studying today.

After clearing his mind, he opened the panel.

Name: Lu Yi

Title: Senior Wizard Apprentice

[Exclusive Ability: Magic Library]

[Magic Enchantment (Beginner): Flying Broomstick Crafting Lv.1 (Upgradeable)]

(Raise Potions and Transfiguration to the Associate Wizard level to unlock the formal Wizard Examination)

After nearly eight months of diligent study, Lu Yi finished mastering the spells taught in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades of the magic academy.

His spell repertoire in Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts is already close to that of a full-fledged wizard, but his proficiency in most advanced spells still needs improvement.

As for Transfiguration, he has progressed from turning a match into a needle to transforming a stone into a wooden chair.

But if it involves biological transformation, does it just rise in a straight line?

He can currently transform inanimate objects into living creatures the size of rabbits, but the transformed creatures are just ordinary animals, not soul beasts, and cannot grow into soul beasts.

Similarly, he guessed that he was also unable to transform into a soul beast.

Or rather, he has no ability to transform into any creature with soul power.

The most regrettable thing is that my potion-making level hasn't improved at all.

Although Lu Yi's potion theory was far beyond the beginner level, the evaluation criteria on the panel seemed to only look at practical application.

He was still at the beginner level of first-year potion brewing because he hadn't brewed a qualified potion.

Since successfully creating the flying broom a few days ago, Lu Yi's stats have gained a new magic enchantment, which surprised him quite a bit.

Lu Yi couldn't help but fall into thought.

"If Elder Yi teaches me necromancy, will it show up on the interface?"
