Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 87 Xu Jiawei: It’s over, it’s all over! (Two in one)

"What a great Starlight Auction House! We must get this thing!"

The source of the sound was auction room number five. At this moment, two figures stood in front of the soul guide light screen, their expressions eager and their eyes greedy.

The person who spoke was standing on the left side of the light screen. He looked to be at least forty years old. He was tall, with arms that were extremely strangely shaped. His right arm was unusually thick, at least twice as thick as his left arm.

Compared to him, the person on the right is much shorter, but his body structure is also unusual. Using the size of a normal person's head as a reference, his head is at least twice as big as others.

There were only a few scattered hairs on his head, making him look even older, but his eyes were extremely deep and bright, and the light flashed when he opened and closed his eyes, like a blooming light in the night.

"This thing is very suitable for the young master. It is worth it no matter how much it costs." The big-headed man said in a firm tone.

Auction Room No. 3.

"What a hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo!" Old Ma stroked his beard unconsciously, his shock evident in his heart.

"It is indeed a good thing, but it is a pity that we cannot get our hands on it." Although Ma Rulong's eyes were burning, there was clarity in his eyes.

This thing seems to only require money, but in fact it also requires people. If you don’t have enough strength, buying this thing will be a death warrant.

"Brother, this thing..." Meng Hongchen took several deep breaths before calming himself down. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Hongchen.

They do not communicate directly with voice, but communicate with mental power through a special soul guide. Speaking with mental power is not only concise and fast, but also very covert. The reason why there are so few of them is because its limitations are too great.

If you want to communicate through mental power, there are normally only two ways. One is to have a soul master with powerful strength, who can communicate directly through mental power.

The second is some special soul skills, such as Huo Yuhao's spiritual sharing, which allows him to communicate with everyone in the established spiritual network.

However, it is only a one-way communication, and the shared soul master cannot take the initiative to initiate a conversation.

The first limitation of this kind of soul guide with spiritual communication function is that the user must be a soul master, and must be a spiritual soul master.

Because the entire use of soul guides requires mental control, it is almost impossible for soul masters with non-spiritual martial souls to use them unless they have reached the level of Soul Saint.

But the problem is that spiritual soul masters are rare in themselves, and it is no exaggeration to say that there are only one in a thousand. There are even fewer soul masters who can become soul saints. Even large families cannot guarantee that their descendants can become soul saints, let alone ordinary people.

The first drawback of it is that too few people use it.

The second limitation is the cost. Such a small gadget is actually a seventh-level soul guide device, and its price is nearly one million, which means it is destined to be unable to be promoted.

But if a Soul Saint really wants to buy it, he can do it. There is definitely a market for spiritual communication. The reason why it is rare is that this involves its third limitation.

If two soul masters who possess spiritual communication soul guides want to communicate through spiritual power, they must leave their own spiritual power aura on each other's spiritual communication soul guides.

This is to record the other party's spiritual energy on the core magic circle. Only after both parties have recorded each other can they communicate. This record is not permanent and needs to be recorded again every once in a while.

The occasions where mental communication is needed must be extremely hidden. The emergence of such restrictions will lead to too much instability. Unless the two parties in communication are partners, it is difficult for it to be effective at any time.

With this series of restrictions, I believe that almost no one will buy this soul guide. However, its restrictions are not over yet. The last restriction is distance.

Twenty meters, just twenty meters, which means it cannot be used in large-scale operations. However, this function is obviously only used in large-scale operations. The usage scenarios and restrictions conflict, which is unreasonable in itself.

The price is one million, requires the cultivation level of a Soul Sage, the record is not permanent, and the distance is too short, so it would be strange if it is not seen frequently.

Meng Hongchen is obviously not a spiritual soul master, nor does she have the cultivation of a soul saint, so why can she use it? This is the power of money.

This is a little gadget that Jing Hongchen made specially for the two siblings during his lifetime. Since the usage requirements have been greatly reduced, it will inevitably bring about damage to the effect.

After being improved by Jing Hongchen, its advantage is that the spiritual aura can be recorded for a long enough time that it will disappear after a full year. In other words, it only needs to be recorded once a year.

Secondly, the requirements for users have been lowered, and Soul Masters can use it. In addition, the limitation of communication distance of 20 meters has not been reduced.

The disadvantages are also obvious, the cost increases exponentially, and the specificity.

The former is easy to understand. The original selling price of one million was improved by Jing Hongchen, and one million gold soul coins almost became its production cost. This is the reason for the long recording interval.

There's no other reason. Since it is made of rare metals that are more sensitive to mental power, the cost will naturally be higher.

Specificity means that this soul guide can only accommodate the spiritual energy of two people at most, which means that from the moment it is created, only two people can record on it.

It doesn't mean that if the records of two people disappear, another person can record them. There are only two internal memory arrays. When the soul master records with his mental power, exclusive patterns will be formed on them.

This pattern can only be recorded by this soul master in the future. If someone else is forced to record it, there will be only one result: this memory core array will be scrapped.

"No." Xiao Hongchen interrupted Meng Hongchen and said slowly with his mental strength: "Dream, we can't protect it."

Xiao Hongchen believed that if he could fuse this embryo and possess a second martial soul, coupled with his natural soul master's holy body of the three-legged golden toad martial soul, it would be inevitable that he would become famous in the soul master world.

But that is a beautiful fantasy, not reality. They are not the same as before. The Hongchen family has lost the protection of their grandfather and has no backing. Not to mention the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, they can't even protect the 100,000-year soul bone.

Xiao Hongchen still wants to make a comeback, become the strongest soul guide, and avenge his grandfather, but how could he do such a thing that would dig his own grave?

"Can we..." Meng Hongchen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Hongchen again.

"No, no one can resist the temptation of a hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo. Even if we really have one, what can we use as a bargaining chip for protection? Will I become a consort to the royal family, or will you become a concubine?"

Although Meng Hongchen didn't finish what he said, as a brother, Xiao Hongchen understood his sister's thoughts very well and knew what she wanted to say.

Apart from the royal family, what other force in the Sun-Moon Empire has the ability to protect a hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo?

At this thought, Xiao Hongchen sighed softly. While Meng Hongchen wouldn't completely lose her composure when faced with important matters concerning herself and those around her, her ability to think would be significantly reduced, a fatal weakness. "Meng, even without it, I still have the confidence to become a top-tier expert. Whether it's a Soul Instructor or a Soul Master, we will definitely succeed!" Xiao Hongchen encouraged Meng Hongchen, who had fallen silent.

Meng Hongchen nodded, but there was still a hint of regret in his expression.

"By the way, has none of you noticed this soul guide that has imprisoned the soul beast for a hundred thousand years? A ninth-level soul guide, only someone in our Sun and Moon can make it, right?" Micah asked with a frown.

"I find it strange too. Since they chose auctioning instead of bidding, there's absolutely no need to come to the Xing Luo Empire. Our Sun and Moon Empire is definitely more financially powerful than Xing Luo, so we'll only get more in the end, not less."

Xiao Xiafeng looked confused, unable to understand the logic behind the whole thing.

"It's true that only ninth-level soul guides can make ninth-level soul guides, and ninth-level soul guides are currently only available in Sun and Moon. But you've overlooked one issue: ninth-level soul guides haven't just appeared in recent years."

After hearing what Ma Lao said, several people suddenly showed enlightenment, but there were also some who didn't understand. Li Yan was one of them. In this regard, he directly asked Ma Rulong for help, "Captain, I don't understand."

“What I mean is, this ninth-level soul guide, the God-conferring Platform, was indeed produced by our Sun and Moon Company, but it is very likely a product from decades or even centuries ago.

In other words, the owner of this ninth-level soul guide may have passed away, and after such a long time interval, it is very likely that the soul guide has been lost.

This Conferred God Platform should have long been in the hands of the Xingluo Empire, and this incident only brought it out."

After listening to Ma Rulong's explanation, Li Yan suddenly realized, "Then what Xu Jiujiu said before, 'According to the person who provided the embryos,' was all a lie?"

"Li Yan, it's rare that you can think of this!" Lin Xi pretended to be surprised, which made the atmosphere in the room a lot more lively.

"They simply want us to suspect that there's a ninth-level soul master undercover. However, a ninth-level soul master has never appeared in Douluo Continent, and they have no idea what a ninth-level soul master means!"

Old Ma affirmed Li Yan's words, and there was a hint of contempt for the Xingluo Empire in his tone.

Auction Room No. 1.

Xu Jiawei was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, resting. Thinking of the Mingdetang soul guide that he was about to get, he couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

There was a sound coming from the soul guide door. Xu Jiawei immediately looked up and opened his eyes, only to see Xu Jiujiu walking quickly forward with an anxious look on his face. Seeing this, Xu Jiawei had a bad premonition and his heart sank.

"What happened?" Xu Jiawei was the first to ask, no longer as calm as usual. It was obvious that he was very concerned about this auction.

"Brother, there's been no movement from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. It seems they have no intention of competing for the 100,000-year soul beast embryo."

Xu Jiujiu's voice was fluctuating, and he was obviously very uneasy. Xu Jiawei was shocked when he heard it, and even his tone became a little irritable because the plan could not be successfully implemented.

"How is that possible! The grandson of the Mingde Hall Master is the most outstanding genius in the history of the Sun-Moon Empire. If they can complete the fusion of the embryos, it will definitely be a great help. How could they possibly give up this opportunity!"

Xu Jiawei was in a very bad mood right now. He was already very upset because he was forced to pay 60 million yuan for the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone. Now the plan had unexpected changes, and he couldn't think of any remedial measures for a while.

How could it be possible! How could it be possible! Xu Jiawei was in a state of confusion, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

This hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo was prepared for the Sun Moon Empire. Today's auction was a pre-planned scheme to obtain the Mingde Hall soul guide.

The first eight lots are just appetizers, and this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo is the real big deal.

They had studied the leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, in advance, and in order to obtain the cutting-edge soul guide technology produced by Mingde Hall, they deliberately set up a trap using a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

He used the soul beast embryo to get Xiao Hongchen involved in the game, and thus obtained the soul guide produced by Mingdetang. In his original idea, this plan was perfect and flawless and would definitely succeed, but the facts gave him a heavy blow.

The plan failed, and the web he carefully wove only trapped himself.

Xu Jiawei knew that he must not panic now. If he panicked, there would be no chance of recovery.

He took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, closed his eyes, and tried to recall where he had gone wrong, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't get a reasonable answer.

"Apart from Sun and Moon, how have the other powerful competing sects reacted?" Xu Jiawei asked, feeling a little uneasy, hoping that things had not yet reached the worst point.

"We all responded, and two of them showed clear intentions and sold us a lot of good things."

After hearing Xu Jiujiu's answer, Xu Jiawei's tense mood finally relaxed a little. Things had not yet reached the worst point.

"Try to contact them proactively and tell them that the handling fee for the soul guides produced by Mingdetang is only 10%." Xu Jiawei said in a deep voice. This is the only way.

He didn't know why Xiao Hongchen could remain indifferent when faced with such a treasure, but he couldn't delay any longer.

In his opinion, soul guide technology is much more important than gold soul coins. The Xingluo Empire would not give up such a treasure for 100 million gold soul coins. If it was really sold at a high price of gold soul coins, Xu Jiawei would feel that he had suffered a great loss.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Xu Jiawei had no intention of letting go of this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. In his plan, after the embryo was successfully auctioned, he would issue a reward after a while to take the embryo back.

No matter how talented Xiao Hongchen is, it is impossible for him to try to fuse the embryos within ten years. With such a long time, Xu Jiawei is confident that he can get the embryos back.

"Isn't this too risky?"

Xu Jiujiu was shocked. He directly told the other party that the handling fee for soul guides produced by Mingdetang was halved. Wasn't that a disguised announcement that he was here for the soul guides produced by Mingdetang?
"If this can get them to act, what does it matter if they're exposed? The real worry is that they won't take any action at all."

Xu Jiawei sighed. Their initial plan was to wait for the other party to use the soul guide as collateral before proposing a plan to halve the Mingdetang production fee. This would not seem abrupt and would also stimulate the other party to collateralize more soul guides.

But who would have thought that such a thing would happen? The Sun and Moon sides had no intention of taking action at all. This was something Xu Jiawei never expected. Now, he can only take it one step at a time.

Hope it works...
