Chapter 78: The Auction House

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about sect matters," Ning Feiliu said evasively, his eyes flickering.

"Hmph! You're even hiding things from me, are you?" Dugu Bo snorted, saying with dissatisfaction.

Seeing that he could not brush off Dugu Bo, Ning Feiliu thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea was born.

Then, a line of small task text appeared before his eyes once again.

"Teacher..." he feigned a helpless smile and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about developing a special kind of medicinal pill recently that can increase a Spirit Master's soul power and talent."

"You are again..." Dugu Bo wanted to say that Ning Feiliu was indulging in wishful thinking, but then he remembered how he had previously said he wanted to reverse-engineer the production method for a Soul Guidance Device, and he had actually succeeded in doing so later on.

He immediately swallowed his words.

"Speak, what is your idea?" Dugu Bo asked.

"I roughly need to study some water-attribute Soul Beasts and analyze the Essence Blood components within their bodies," Ning Feiliu said, looking at the small task text before him.

"Many thanks, Teacher," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"Alright, we're here." Just as the teacher and student, Dugu Bo and Ning Feiliu, were walking and talking, they finally arrived at today's destination.

Before them appeared a tall, semi-circular building.

This was the largest auction house in Heaven Dou City—the Heaven Dou Great Auction House.

"Little Feiliu... are they pretty?" Just then, Dugu Yan's somewhat pouting voice reached Ning Feiliu's ears.

The main entrance of the auction house was also semi-circular, and like the overall architecture of the auction house, it was milky white; four tall young women stood in front of the door.

I don't know when it happened, but Ning Feiliu had already grown into a master in pharmacology just like his grandfather.

They wore floor-length dresses that even covered their arms, not revealing a single bit of extra skin, yet the dresses were very form-fitting, fully outlining their graceful curves.

There were over a dozen types of water-attribute Soul Beast Essence Blood; if Ning Feiliu had to capture them himself, it would certainly take a lot of time, but with Dugu Bo, this convenient teacher, it saved quite a bit of effort.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to get a word in right now.

Silver patterns were embroidered on their snow-white dresses, the patterns vaguely forming characters.

【Obtain and analyze the Essence Blood components of the Heavenly Water Mysterious Snake, Surging Phantom Beast, Water Demon Ghost Wolf, Azure Water Demon Fish... and Clear Spring Nymph, and perform a complete pharmacological test to obtain the production method for the Mysterious Water Pill.】

"Then give me a list when the time comes, and I will help you obtain their Essence Blood; you can come and get it yourself," Dugu Bo said indifferently.

She felt a bit annoyed, wondering why she couldn't be as smart as Ning Feiliu and learn that pharmacology so quickly.

Furthermore, based on the incredible things Ning Feiliu had displayed previously, he now trusted Ning Feiliu completely.

There were some unique aspects to them.

This semi-circle pressed against the ground had a diameter of at least nearly five hundred meters, and the highest point exceeded eighty meters; although it was slightly inferior compared to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, one must know that this was only an auction house and did not require spectators.

"Essence Blood of water-attribute Soul Beasts?" Dugu Bo was also a master of pharmacology, and he immediately discovered that it seemed the Essence Blood of these water-attribute Soul Beasts was indeed...

These young women had clearly undergone strict selection; not only was their height around one meter seventy-five, but their figures were also extremely well-proportioned. Although they couldn't be called stunning, their pretty appearances were still quite attractive, and they looked to be no more than twenty years old.

Dugu Yan looked at Ning Feiliu's confident appearance, yet she was unable to get a word in.

Ning Feiliu turned his head to look at Dugu Yan, chuckled, and said, "They are indeed pretty, but they are nothing more than empty shells with only a skin..."

He shook his head.

In his past life, in the era of high technology, plastic surgery, beauty apps, and filters—how many exquisite and beautiful women had these technological products created?

Streamers, models, female celebrities—each one looked as if they were stunningly beautiful.

Yet beneath the beautiful skin, they were all empty, or even possessed somewhat filthy Spirit Souls.

These auction house young women were all the same; although they were pretty, beneath their skin were already twisted, self-objectified Spirit Souls.

To Ning Feiliu, this held no attraction.

Just then, a man dressed in exquisite clothing hurried out from the gate of the Heaven Dou Great Auction House.

He wore a finely crafted white formal suit, and his whole person exuded an air of nobility, but he was currently covered in sweat, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a silk handkerchief.

Then he anxiously came before Dugu Bo.

"Greetings, Senior Poison Douluo." The man bowed ninety degrees to Dugu Bo, saying with the utmost respect.

The young women behind him, as well as several attendants, also bowed in fear and trepidation.

"Mm, take me inside," Dugu Bo said, appearing quite indifferent.

"Yes," the man continued respectfully.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you all." Dugu Bo pointed at Ning Feiliu again and said, "This is my student—'Yafei'. In the future, when he comes here, you must give me some face... do you understand?"

The man and the other young women then looked at Ning Feiliu, who was beside Dugu Bo.

Actually, they had noticed Ning Feiliu just now; after all, they knew Dugu Bo and they also knew Dugu Yan.

But this was the first time they had seen such a strange person as Ning Feiliu, who was wearing a mask.

But the key was that Ning Feiliu had come with Dugu Bo, which made people very curious.

However, because of Dugu Bo's style of conduct and his strength, they hadn't dared to ask just now.

Now they finally knew Ning Feiliu's identity; so he was Dugu Bo's student...

"Yes, yes, yes..." The man, who seemed to be the auction house manager, immediately showed a humble smile toward Ning Feiliu and said, "In the future, when Mr. Yafei visits, we will of course warmly welcome him."

Ning Feiliu felt a bit helpless; he hadn't expected Dugu Bo to suddenly pull him out and say such things.

"Mm." Dugu Bo nodded with satisfaction.

Then, led by the man, Dugu Bo took Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan into the Heaven Dou Great Auction House.

And a few minutes later, another elegant and refined man, accompanied by a cute little girl who looked like she was carved from gold and jade, arrived in front of the Heaven Dou Great Auction House under the protection of a group of experts dressed in uniform moon-white attire.

"Sect Master Ning..." that auction house manager said hurriedly to the man with a smile.

"Hello, Manager Li," Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.

"Daddy, you brought me here today, what fun things are there?" Ning Rongrong, who was to the side, said with some impatience.

"Rongrong, no acting up; this time Daddy is here to attend to serious business," Ning Fengzhi said.

Ning Rongrong immediately pouted and settled down a little.

"Sect Master Ning... I must tell you this time," Supervisor Li said with a bitter smile at this moment, "because that soul bone has not only attracted all the famous nobles within Heaven Dou City, but it has even drawn in Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo..."
