Chapter 152 Soul-Devouring Blade? Gold of Life! Old Master Yi's house is settled!
"As you all know, the engraving knife is extremely valuable. The reason why this final item is featured in this auction, rather than in one of our Starlight Auction House's top auctions, is because it has a fatal flaw."
"If it weren't for this fatal flaw, it should be ranked within the top thirty of the carving knife rankings, but now it can only be ranked ninety-ninth. It is the cursed carving knife, known as the 'murderous knife': the Soul-Eating Carving Knife."
The clear and elegant voice rose and fell, as if it had truly witnessed the history of the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade: "The creator of the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade is said to be a level nine Soul Master who appeared in the Sun Moon Empire three thousand years ago, and also a terrifying evil Soul Master."
"This Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is called the Murder Knife because it has had thirty-seven owners, all of whom died tragically, and nine of them even became evil soul masters."
"Legend has it that this deadly blade contains a wisp of the soul of its original creator, which can bewitch people and lead them to evil. Therefore, the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade's ranking has plummeted, until it is now at number ninety-nine."
"Based on rumors, it's speculated that if its owner is a Soul Master with the Light attribute, it would be difficult for the creature to turn against it, and it might even be possible to completely control it. Of course, this is just a rumor. However, our Starlight Auction House can assure all our valued guests that as long as no Soul Power is infused into it, there will absolutely be no situation where it turns against its owner. Therefore, if any valued guests enjoy collecting, they can also bid on it as a collectible!"
After hearing Qingya's entire story, many people who were eager to bid on the carving knife gave up their bids.
The auction was not high-profile at all, and not all the bidders were wealthy and powerful. In addition, the legend of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife was too terrifying, and no one dared to joke with their own life.
Even among collectors, few dare to collect an item that might harbor a trace of the soul of an evil spirit master.
"The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife starts at 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, with each bid increasing by at least 5,000 Gold Soul Coins." Qingya wore a professional smile, but felt no excitement at all.
Since Starlight Auction House acquired this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife by chance, it has been consistently unsold at auction. Initially, Starlight Auction House even started the bidding at 300,000 Gold Soul Coins, but now the starting bid has dropped to 100,000 Gold Soul Coins.
He Caitou shook his head and sighed, "My teacher once told me the story of this carving knife, which was actually far more terrifying than what this auctioneer described. Moreover, this is a listed carving knife; most of those who can afford it are Soul Masters. Who could resist using it?"
Hearing He Caitou say this, Wang Yan also showed a disappointed look. If it couldn't be used, then his bid would really have been a waste.
"One hundred thousand gold soul coins." At this moment, Wang Dong'er raised the bidding paddle in her hand.
Qingya, who had initially thought the carving knife would fail to sell again, was taken aback.
Because of the frequent failures to sell the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, the behind-the-scenes boss of Starlight Auction House once promised that whoever could successfully auction it off would receive one percent of the total amount as commission.
Even if it's auctioned off for only 100,000 gold soul coins, she can still get 1,000 gold soul coins, which is already a considerable income for Qingya.
But her benefits go far beyond that. By successfully auctioning off this carving knife, she will qualify as a Black-level auctioneer, allowing her to preside over higher-level auctions. Naturally, her income will also increase accordingly.
On Shrek Academy's side, everyone was surprised and puzzled by Wang Dong'er's bid for the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade.
It would be understandable if He Caitou took a picture of the carving knife, but Wang Dong'er is not a Soul Master, so why did she take a picture of it?
Although Xiao Xiao was a little worried, she did not ask Wang Dong'er. As it turned out, Wang Dong'er would never put herself in danger if she took action.
On the contrary, she felt that Wang Dong'er must have a way to remove the so-called curse of the evil knife.
After all, isn't Wang Dong'er also a Soul Master with the Light attribute?
On the auction stage, Qingya had no choice but to start calling out prices quickly after seeing that no one dared to continue bidding, as if she was afraid that Wang Dong'er would change her mind.
"Bang!" With the fall of the auction hammer, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife was about to become Wang Dong'er's property.
Although Huo Yuhao believed that Wang Dong'er had a way to remove the curse, he was also very curious about what method Wang Dong'er would use to remove the curse from the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
After all, according to what Tianmeng Bingcan had just told him, this Soul-Devouring Carving Blade did indeed pose a great threat to him and should not be touched lightly.
After the auction ended, Wang Yan, who won the most items, and Wang Dong'er, who won the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, stayed at the Starlight Auction House to handle payment and collect their items, while the others returned to the Star Emperor Hotel.
Besides Jiang Nannan, other students who did not use the academy's name to make payments included Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and others who possessed considerable personal power and wealth.
They entrusted the money from bidding for the soul tool to Wang Dong'er and Wang Yan, clearly separating themselves from the academy.
After helping Jiang Nannan and others pay for the auction items, Wang Dong'er also received the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife she had won.
We finally got the house from Old Yi. Once we get back, we'll wake him up and invite him to move into the new house.
Since they were all brought in by Wang Yan, although the bidding numbers were different, they were essentially all bidding by "Shrek Academy". However, after Wang Dong'er paid the full amount, the ownership of the items she paid for changed from "Shrek Academy" to Wang Dong'er, and there was no possibility of any disputes.
However, Wang Dong'er did not leave with Wang Yan, but stayed at the Starlight Auction House to complete the procedures for obtaining auction qualifications.
If Shrek Academy can issue credit certificates, then Haotian Sect can certainly do the same.
Moreover, she was also waiting for news.
When Wang Dong'er left the Starlight Auction House, it had already turned from dusk to night. Just as she was about to return to the Star Emperor Hotel, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Sister Lexuan, do you think they can win tomorrow's match?"
"It should be possible," another voice said.
Wang Dong'er turned around, and two beautiful figures came into view.
"Wang Dong'er?" Tang Ya was a little surprised, not expecting to suddenly see Wang Dong'er here.
"Senior Tang Ya." Wang Dong'er nodded to Tang Ya, then looked at Zhang Lexuan and asked knowingly, "Is this also a senior in the academy?"
"Hello, junior Wang Dong'er, I'm Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner academy." Zhang Lexuan extended her hand and gently shook hands with Wang Dong'er.
"Sister Lexuan," Wang Dong'er called out, then asked, "Why are you two senior sisters here?"
