Indeed, if that soul-guided car that this guy has were sold, it could probably fetch an astronomical price.

How could he possibly be short of money?

"Thunder Bracelets, XX Gold Soul Coins! Anyone bidding?"

The auctioneer's voice echoed through the auction hall.

.....

Prices are rising steadily.

Huo Yuhao picked up the bidding sign on the coffee table and pressed the button on it.

"XX!"

A number appeared on the display screen outside the private room.

After this number appeared, no one competed with Huo Yuhao anymore, and Huo Yuhao won the bid for the soul tool.

Huo Yuhao had seen some of the soul tools in the blueprints given to him by Xiao Hongchen, but he didn't buy them.

"Alright, everyone!"

The auctioneer's voice rang out again, his tone tinged with mystery.

"The next item to be auctioned is rather special."

"It is not metal, not a soul tool, and not a pill."

"Instead, it's a... carving knife." (In the original story, it appeared in the Star Luo Empire's auction house, but it initially appeared in the Sun Moon Empire. After its owner died, it ended up in the hands of dozens of people. For the sake of the plot, it has been changed here so that it did not end up in the Star Luo Empire's auction house due to failing to sell at auction.)

Chapter 261 Buying something worth 300 million contribution points for 100,000 gold soul coins? What a bargain!

The auctioneer's voice echoed through the auction hall.

"This carving knife is called the 'Soul-Devouring Carving Knife'."

The auctioneer didn't dare place his hand directly on the carving knife; he simply picked up the box and showed it to Xing Shu.

"It has a history of more than 3,000 years and ranks ninety-ninth on the list of carving knives."

These words immediately sparked a flurry of whispers in the room.

The Carving Knife Ranking!

That's a ranking list of all known top-tier carving knives across the entire continent!

Without exception, all those that make it onto this list are the result of the painstaking efforts of generations of Soul Masters!

And this Soul-Devouring Carving Blade in front of me is ranked ninety-ninth?!

Although it's only at the bottom of the list, it's the carving knife list!

The auctioneer continued, his tone now tinged with awe.

"The creator of this carving knife was an exceptionally talented Soul Master, a Level 9 Soul Master."

Level 9!

The breathing in the room became heavier.

A level nine Soul Master is someone who stands at the very top of the entire Soul Master field on the continent!

"This is the last piece that the master created in his later years, and it can be said to be the culmination of his life's work."

At this point, the auctioneer changed the subject, his tone becoming low and somber.

"But... this carving knife is also a deadly weapon."

"A murderous knife?"

Someone in the audience couldn't help but ask a question.

The auctioneer nodded, his expression grave.

"According to our research, this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has had a total of thirty-seven owners to date."

His voice slowly rose.

"And all thirty-seven of these masters died tragically."

hiss--

The entire audience gasped.

All thirty-seven masters died tragically?

This is just too weird!

"Not only that."

The auctioneer's voice lowered even further.

"Among these thirty-seven masters, nine of them gradually fell into evil ways after acquiring this carving knife, becoming... evil spirit masters."

Evil Soul Master!

The moment those three words were uttered, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Evil Soul Masters are the public enemy of all Soul Masters on the entire continent!

Cruel and bloodthirsty, committing all sorts of evil!

"Of course, distinguished guests need not worry too much."

The auctioneer quickly tried to reassure him.

"We can guarantee that as long as no soul power is injected into the carving knife, it will not backfire on its owner."

"In other words, if it's just for collecting, then there's absolutely no problem."

Hearing these words, the tense atmosphere in the room eased a little.

However, those who were originally interested in the carving knife have now given up the idea of ​​bidding.

A deadly knife that could potentially kill you?

Even if it's incredibly precious, no one would dare gamble with their own life!

……

Inside the VIP suite.

Xiao Hongchen, who had initially looked at Xiao Hongchen with some curiosity, instantly lost interest after hearing the word "murderous knife".

He leaned back on the sofa, his hands behind his head, his tone tinged with disdain.

"What's the point of buying this thing? Just to display it?"

Xiao Hongchen curled his lip, a hint of arrogance flashing in his heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one green.

"Besides, one day I, Xiao Hongchen, will forge my own carving knife and make it appear on the carving knife list!"

"Moreover, the ranking is definitely not just ninety-ninth!"

His tone was full of confidence, carrying an arrogance that belonged to a genius.

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Brother, you should become a level nine Soul Master first."

"I definitely will!"

Xiao Hongchen retorted, unconvinced.

"You just wait and see!"

Huo Yuhao, however, did not participate in the siblings' bickering.

His gaze was fixed on the jet-black carving knife on the auction stage.

Soul-Eating Carving Knife...

All thirty-seven owners died tragically...

Nine people became evil spirit masters...

For some reason, Huo Yuhao always felt that this carving knife seemed to be hiding some unknown secret.

Just then, an ancient voice suddenly rang out in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea!

"Buy it."

Huo Yuhao's body stiffened abruptly!

That voice... it's Electrolux!

"Old Master Yi?!"

Huo Yuhao exclaimed inwardly, his voice filled with surprise.

"You're awake?!"

At the same time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also heard this sound.

In the sea of ​​spirit, the plump body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm trembled violently and almost jumped up!

"Holy crap?!"

The sound of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was filled with shock.

"You...you're not dead?!"

Tianmeng Bingcan was completely stunned. Seven months had passed since Elex last appeared, and there had been no movement for seven months. He had even thought that the other party was dead.

"I'm just asleep."

Electrolux's voice remained calm and steady, without the slightest ripple.

"My soul was in an unstable state before and needed a long period of sleep to stabilize. Now, it has basically stabilized."

Tianmeng Bingcan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help muttering something.

"You scared me to death! I thought you'd come back to life... No, a spirit isn't exactly alive either..."

Illex ignored Tianmeng Bingcan's teasing and continued speaking to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, buy this carving knife."

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then asked.

"Old Master Yi, is there anything special about this carving knife?"

Elex paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Do you still remember the value of that 'Blade of the Guardians of Life' that you saw in the academy back then?"

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted slightly.

Blade of Guardianship for All Living Beings!

Of course he remembers!

That's one of the most precious things in Shrek Academy's treasury!

When he saw the price tag on the carving knife, he was completely stunned: 300 million contribution points! 300 million!

Even though Huo Yuhao is now a level four Soul Master, and he earns a lot of contribution points for each mission he completes and each Soul Tool he makes, saving up 300 million...

Huo Yuhao secretly considered the matter and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

That would be a long time coming!

"Of course I remember."

Huo Yuhao answered in his mind, his tone tinged with a hint of confusion.

"Elder Yi, why did you suddenly bring up the Blade of the Guardians of Life? Could it be...?"

An incredible thought suddenly welled up in his mind.

"This Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is related to the Blade of the Guardians of Life?!"

Electrolux's voice remained calm, but what he said stunned Huo Yuhao.

"nice."
