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

Lu Yi's reaction made Electrolux smile knowingly, as if he had put his mind at ease.

"No rush. In your current state, you need to grow for a while longer before you are ready to learn necromancy."

Remembering Lu Yi mentioning the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, which he said was a tool made of living metal, Electrolux remained skeptical.

From the world Lu Yi came from, Electrolux had never found a substance similar to the Life Gold.

Although an alchemical artifact once appeared in the magical world, it did possess the function of enhancing life force.

In a world where the average lifespan is less than a hundred years, the alchemist who created it has lived to be over five hundred years old thanks to this tool, which shows how extraordinary it is.

But man-made things can never compare to the gold of living beings.

The conditions for the birth of such a substance, which embodies the life force of heaven and earth, are extremely demanding.

Given the energy level of Lu Yi's previous world, even if life-giving gold were to be born, the entire planet would only produce a fingernail-sized amount of life-giving gold, making it virtually impossible to discover.

As for how Lu Yi learned about the Gold of Life, Electrolux didn't know either, and he certainly wouldn't search Lu Yi's memories.

However, one must see things for oneself before drawing conclusions, so Electrolux left the library for the first time in a year.

Standing beside Lu Yi, she waited for the surrounding scenery to gradually collapse towards her and eventually disappear completely.

Electrolux's ghostly state was also dispelled, and he returned to his gray phantom form.

"Your spiritual world has expanded considerably compared to before."

Electrox looked around and commented, "In your previous world, magic would naturally increase with age, including mental power, but obviously, it's impossible to increase it several times over in just one year."

After he finished speaking, Electrolux's figure became somewhat ethereal.

Lu Yi knew that Electrolux couldn't maintain this state for long, so he decisively regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, Electrox could clearly sense the presence of the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade.

"It really is the gold of life!"

Electrolux was initially delighted, but then he noticed that the unusual color of the Life Gold matched exactly the cursed state Lu Yi had described.

So he asked Lu Yi for control of his body, preparing to investigate it thoroughly.

Lu Yi did not refuse. Just before handing over control of his body, he gave the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade another wicked smile.

"I've arrived!"

Immediately, Lu Yi's black eyes turned gray.

The gray spiritual energy immediately landed on the Soul Devouring Carving Blade, and the fierce blade that was originally emitting a ferocious aura towards Lu Yi immediately restrained its aura, while the entire blade trembled violently.

Electrolux noticed the curse remaining on the carving knife and scoffed, "How could this person even think of defiling such a precious treasure?"

As if unable to bear seeing the gold of living beings defiled for even a second longer, Lu Yi's eyes changed again, turning into pure white.

"Purify!"

The white spiritual energy, like an iron hand, seized the soul parasitizing the murderous blade and refined it in an instant.

Immediately, the originally pitch-black Soul-Devouring Carving Blade transformed into an emerald green, emanating a rich life force.

After doing all that, Electrolux became weak again.

To reduce energy expenditure, he handed over control of his body to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi's eyes turned black again, but Electrolux's command rang out from his mental sea.

"Now, place this carving knife between your eyebrows. Leave the rest to me. Don't panic no matter what happens. Once this is over, your mental strength will experience a qualitative leap, and you will be able to inherit my necromancy at least three years earlier."

"How many years would I have originally needed?"

"About five years."

That fast?

That's something we have to do.

……

Starlight Auction House.

In the VIP lounge, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in an exquisite red gauze dress was having a detailed conversation with a tall man in a black robe.

There are three items on the table between the two people.

The two items have just been examined and confirmed to match the description given by the man in black.

One of them is a storage soul tool inlaid with star sapphire.

The storage soul tool itself is already extremely valuable, with an internal space that can reach hundreds of cubic meters. However, the actual items traded are a large amount of rare metals stored within the storage space.

Compared to the other two items, the Starlight Sapphire Storage Soul Tool seems rather inadequate.

A piece of emerald green soul bone lay quietly on the table, its green aura flowing like water, intertwining with the white chill on its surface.

The only exception was the wooden stand inlaid with over a hundred unidentified gemstones, the value of which even the most experienced appraisers could not determine.

"How did the discussion go, Your Highness?"

The man in black had been waiting for a long time. He leaned back on the sofa and spoke slowly and deliberately, "I believe your store can provide a satisfactory price as always, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the teacher."

Upon hearing this, the white stream of energy sealed on the wooden support seemed to be enraged, constantly surging outwards, but it could not break through the pale golden light barrier.

The stunningly beautiful girl opposite them was Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire, who was also the chief auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House.

Having spent years in the auction world and already being able to easily handle any business negotiation, she could only put on a warm smile at this moment, but she was completely unsure of what to do.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?" Xu Jiujiu pondered, repeating the question to himself over and over again.

This kind of thing, which might not happen even once every few thousand years, actually happened to the other party.

On one trip to the far north, they even encountered a lone, ancient ice scorpion halfway through the journey. After killing it, they extracted a soul bone from its body, which was identified as being over 50,000 years old.

What incredible luck!

"Why don't you name a price?" Since he wasn't sure what to do and didn't want to offend the other party, he decided to hand the reins over to them, "for the sake of our long-term cooperation."

"Since Your Highness puts it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony. The rare metals will remain at 20 million gold soul coins, and as for the Conferred God Platform and the soul beast embryo..."

The man in black paused, trying his best to come up with an outrageous price: "One hundred million!"

Upon hearing this price, Xu Jiujiu's pupils widened involuntarily. However, before she could react, the other party seemed to find it somewhat outrageous and lowered their stance slightly: "Add this soul bone."

Ordinary soul bones aged over 50,000 years are worth tens of millions of yuan, and normal people would never sell them; they would keep them to absorb themselves.

He chose to exchange this soul bone for money here because he failed to absorb it.

Xu Jiujiu was very familiar with the price of soul bones, but what she was really worried about was whether the Conferred God Platform was really containing a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the process of transformation, as the other party had said.

If true, then a price of one hundred million is not too outrageous, because many years ago, Starlight Auction House also had an auction record of a 100,000-year soul bone, and the transaction price reached over one hundred million gold soul coins.

A moment later, she extended her right hand.

"make a deal!"
