Chapter 121: Soul Conduit Propulsion Device and Milk Bottle

What she said was correct; Qingya then immediately introduced:

Our lot number one is a third-rank attack soul conduit device, a fairly common soul conduit ray. Normally such an ordinary soul conduit device wouldn't be eligible for our auction, but this third-rank soul conduit ray that can be attached to the right arm was made by a sixth-rank soul conduit master; it's a special work, quite rare. In the hands of that master who made it, he simplified the complex, adding special effects to the internal core array.

The soul conduit ray carries paralysis, so its true name should be soul conduit paralysis ray. Anyone struck by it, Soul King and below soul masters will be affected, the extent depending on the cultivator's own level.

……

Qingya continued her introduction on stage, while Wang Yan looked at the two soul conduit department members from his own side.

Do you think this item is worth us buying?

Huo Yutong and He Caitou exchanged a glance, and finally He Caitou said:

I think it's worth it, since nearly half our team are three-ring Soul Elders, perfect for equipping them. Among them, Huo Yutong doesn't really need it, and Wang Dong strongly dislikes soul conduit devices, so I suggest giving it to Zhou Sichen—it would give him an added self-defense ability.

Wang Yan thought for a second, then nodded.

I understand.

Just then the auction on stage had heated up, the price already breaking the two-thousand mark; as the buyers hesitated, Wang Yan decisively raised his paddle.

Two thousand five hundred gold soul coins.

Originally, others present were still hesitating whether to raise the bid, but upon hearing the price jump straight to two thousand five hundred gold soul coins, they instantly lost interest in continuing the auction and all gave up.

Moreover, during the subsequent auction, Wang Yan was generous, bidding repeatedly and actually winning over a dozen soul conduit devices in one go, which he distributed to the members of the Shilake Academy preparatory team.

Time flew by, and soon it was the third-to-last soul conduit device up for auction; this device's appearance was clearly somewhat special.

A fourth-rank soul conduit propulsion device, unlike other soul conduit devices, requires only three-ring cultivation to use; conversely, it tests the user's physical fitness more, imposing a huge burden on the user, and if used carelessly could even injure oneself—but precisely because of this, its speed-boosting effect is astonishing, granting the user a tremendous increase in speed during use, making it very suitable for some close-combat soul masters.

After hearing Qingya's introduction, everyone's inquisitive gaze fell on Tang Wulin.

Obviously, the preparatory team member most suited and most in need of this type of soul conduit device is Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin said without hesitation:

I can use this soul conduit device.

Although he hasn't yet reached three-ring cultivation, he is already at rank twenty-nine, and don't forget he has blood essence power to assist him, so his overall cultivation is absolutely not inferior to that of an ordinary Soul Elder.

Furthermore, considering his astonishing physical strength and his preferred fighting style, this soul conduit device is indeed perfectly suited for him.

Seeing Tang Wulin say that, Wang Yan no longer hesitated and decisively bid to win it.

Qingya's smile became even more radiant.

About half of the items in this auction were won by Wang Yan and his group, all purchased at high prices directly—looks like a big spender has shown up.

As the auctioneer, Qingya also receives a commission from the items she sells, so naturally the more items she sells and the higher their prices, the happier she is. Moreover, she believes that Wang Yan and his group will definitely not miss this upcoming item.

The upcoming item is commonly called a Milk Bottle, formally known as a charging soul conduit device; it can be used by both soul masters and soul conduit masters, a Milk Bottle can be any rank of soul conduit device, but it must be made by at least a third-rank soul conduit master to have any effect.

The function of a Milk Bottle is naturally to replenish soul power; a Milk Bottle of a given rank can replenish an equal amount of soul power for a soul master of that rank. To use it, one only needs to pre-charge the soul power, but it also has a limitation: when using it, one must stop and focus entirely on absorbing it; otherwise, if one's mind is not focused, one cannot guide that soul power.

So, each time we auction Milk Bottles we remind the honored guests not to use them in combat. Alright, I believe everyone here understands Milk Bottles well enough, so I won't say more—let's begin the auction, starting bid six thousand gold soul coins, with each raise no less than one hundred gold soul coins.

Seeing this, He Caitou's eyes lit up, and he began to introduce the effects and functions of the Milk Bottle to everyone present.

After hearing his words, the Shilake crowd's gaze toward the Milk Bottle on stage instantly became eager.

There's no doubt this is a truly universal soul conduit device anyone can use, after all, nobody ever complains about having too much soul power.

Especially Huo Yutong—if you ask who in this team lacks blue the most, it's definitely her, because her soul skills have such high year levels that they're almost all high-consumption ultimate moves; usually after fighting a Soul King she loses over half her soul power out of thin air.

If she had this Milk Bottle as assistance, even if she couldn't use it freely in battle, her threat level would increase greatly compared to before.

It can be said that the main fighting force of the current Shilake preparatory team is her; now that there is a means to greatly enhance her strength, they naturally won't be stingy.

Bei Bei whispered a question to Wang Yan:

Teacher Wang Yan, do you have enough money? If not, you can use mine first.

Wang Yan showed a faint smile.

Don't worry, I have a credit certificate from the Academy this time, so I don't need to worry about expenses—the Academy will reimburse everything.

Upon hearing that, Bei Bei's eyes lit up.

The Academy actually gave a credit certificate? Great!

As long as one has the Shilake Academy credit certificate, the vast majority of items can be purchased directly, ignoring price.

No wonder Wang Yan, a teacher, could blinklessly win over a dozen soul conduit devices in a row—knowing that the combined price of those dozen or so soul conduit devices amounts to tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

Upon learning that the Academy backed him, Bei Bei felt reassured and fell silent.

And Wang Yan lived up to expectations, once again bidding a high price of twenty-five thousand gold soul coins to win this Milk Bottle.

After pushing the cart offstage, Qingya walked to the front of the auction platform, her pretty face slightly flushed, she lowered her voice a bit and said:

Ladies and gentlemen, our mysterious grand gift is about to appear; this is also tonight's final auction item. Originally, it shouldn't have appeared here. But to thank you all for your continued support of Starlight, after obtaining permission from the chief auctioneer of our auction house, we specially added this item. Although its price is very high, I believe anyone who truly understands it will feel it's worth the cost. Please now have our etiquette attendant push forward this mysterious grand gift.
