Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 144 Treasure Reward Party

"That wretched little brat! He's driving me crazy! Do you know how uncomfortable I felt walking all that way? It was so awkward to walk..."

After washing her feet, Ling Luochen looked at her shoes and couldn't help but sniff them. The scent was strong and intoxicating. Ling Luochen blushed and said, "Really, what a waste!"

Ling Luochen looked at his shoes, and finally threw them into his storage soul tool. Then he took out a new pair of shoes from the storage soul tool and put them on.

Ling Luochen thought to himself, "Chen Feng should be on the third floor of Jubaoge by now. I wonder if Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao will be in the same room later."

Immediately, various images flashed through Ling Luochen's mind.

Ling Luochen cursed, "That wretched Ma Xiaotao! I hate you!!!"

.........

In a small room not far from Ling Luochen.

Ma Xiaotao said to Chen Feng, "Honey, this is your first time attending the Inner Court's Treasure Appreciation Meeting. Let me explain the rules of the meeting to you."

The treasure hunt on the third floor features hundreds of auction items each time, ranging from common cultivation pills to top-tier treasures and soul bones.

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao restlessly reached out her slender hand and pinched Chen Feng's handsome face. She continued, "Usually, the third floor of this Treasure Pavilion is used for auctions, so it's very private. After all, the items brought out at the Treasure Appreciation Event are extremely valuable, and soul bones appear every time."

Ma Xiaotao drank quite a bit of alcohol during dinner that night. Under the influence of alcohol and being in a closed room, Ma Xiaotao suddenly became impulsive.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Chen Feng's collarbone, her red phoenix eyes shimmering with tears. "Husband, that's why the academy holds the treasure appreciation event on the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion. It's to prevent some inner court students from becoming greedy and secretly trying to steal the treasures."

Ma Xiaotao buried her head in Chen Feng's neck. Chen Feng looked at Ma Xiaotao's little head and thought to himself, "What a clingy little devil." Then Chen Feng stroked Ma Xiaotao's soft, long red hair.

Ma Xiaotao looked up at the masterpiece on Chen Feng's chest and nodded in satisfaction.

Sitting on Chen Feng's lap, Ma Xiaotao straightened up and looked down at him, saying, "Honey, every inner court student participating in the auction will go into a small room, hehe, and this small room is soundproof~"

The sound insulation is excellent, and since all the participants are from the inner court, there's no need to guard against mental detection.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's expression, Chen Feng immediately understood what she meant. She clearly wanted to cultivate with Chen Feng in this small, soundproof room.

After all, only those at the Soul Saint level or above, or rare Soul Masters with spiritual attributes, can project their spiritual power.

Ma Xiaotao extended her slender, fair fingers and lifted Chen Feng's chin, saying, "Honey, so everyone can bid for the treasures they like to the best of their ability without any worries. We can make offers right here in the room."

After speaking, Ma Xiaotao pointed to the price quote device below the screen.

After saying so much, Ma Xiaotao seemed to have a dry mouth.

Ma Xiaotao's phoenix eyes shone even brighter with red light. "Husband, I've been talking so much, I'm a little thirsty, husband, ah~"

Ma Xiaotao's giant suction cup worked again, and she started drinking water. Just as Ma Xiaotao was feeling quite pleased with herself, the screen in the small room lit up, and the treasure appreciation event officially began.

On the auction stage on the third floor of Jubao Club, a beautiful young woman dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam stood on the auction stage.

The sound transmission device in the room began to emit sound.

"Good evening, esteemed students of Shrek Academy's inner court. Welcome to the annual Treasure Appreciation Event. I am Zhou Li, the host of this event." The beautiful young woman then performed a perfect etiquette.

Hearing the sound, Chen Feng ended his kiss with Ma Xiaotao.

Chen Feng said to Ma Xiaotao, "Sister Xiaotao, the treasure appreciation event has started. Let's go home and do it later. It would be a loss if we missed it."

Chen Feng wrapped his arms around Ma Xiaotao's lower abdomen, and also encircled Ma Xiaotao's arms.

Ma Xiaotao turned her head and said coquettishly, "I'm halfway through my cultivation, neither here nor there."

Chen Feng thought to himself, "Is the passive effect of this Yin-Yang Technique designed to make them want to pounce on me?"

Chen Feng said to Ma Xiaotao, "Alright, Sister Xiaotao, let's go home tonight and I'll accompany you in your cultivation. Are you satisfied now?"

Ma Xiaotao said with satisfaction, "You keep your word."

Chen Feng nodded, and Ma Xiaotao then nestled obediently in his arms. She stretched out her slender hand, and a suction force emanated from her palm, drawing the price indicator into her hand.

At this moment, the first treasure of the auction was revealed on the screen. Zhou Li took out a small jade bottle, opened it, and the inner court students saw her take out a green pill the size of a walnut. The pill was emerald green, with a faint halo flowing inside, crystal clear, and full of life.

Zhou Li smiled and said, "Esteemed young talents, I don't think I need to introduce the Soul Ascension Pill too much. Even if you haven't taken it, you should have seen it many times. It costs 10,000 gold soul coins."

Upon hearing the words "Soul Ascension Pill," Chen Feng naturally knew what this pill was. Having spent so many years in the Douluo Continent, Chen Feng had only heard of this pill but had never seen it, let alone eaten it.

The Soul Ascension Pill is made from several rare and precious herbs as a medicinal guide. Each Soul Master can only take one pill in their lifetime, and the increase in Soul Power is roughly equivalent to the amount needed for a Soul Master to advance from level 30 to level 31. Taking too many pills will affect one's future cultivation potential.

The Soul-Upgrading Pill is mild in nature, and even a novice Soul Master with only ten levels of Soul Power can take it.

Unfortunately, while the Soul Ascension Pill was good for Chen Feng and other inner court students, that was about it. Many inner court students had already taken the Soul Ascension Pill once and would not auction it off again.

If Chen Feng were to consume the Soul Ascension Pill, he would likely gain at most one-tenth of his Soul Power, since he already possesses forty-nine levels of Soul Power and is an Ultimate Martial Soul, requiring even more Soul Power to level up.

Ma Xiaotao, who was in Chen Feng's arms, said, "This treasure appreciation event is really nothing special, it's the same old thing as last year. I already took this Soul-Ascending Pill."

Chen Feng asked, "Sister Xiao Tao, wasn't this supposed to be a treasure appreciation event? How did it turn into an auction?"

Ma Xiaotao turned her head and replied, "Honey, don't worry, don't worry. Although it's an auction and everyone can bid, the bidding isn't about who has the most money."

Instead, it's a competition of who has the higher VIP level, and the number of items each inner court student can bid on varies depending on their VIP level.

Most inner court disciples can only bid on one item, so they won't bid unless they really need it. If the VIP levels are the same, then it comes down to who has the higher rating within the inner court.

Ma Xiaotao said to Chen Feng, "Honey, don't worry. My VIP card is the top-tier VIP card. Not only can I take three items, but I can also take one more item for free. I also get a 40% discount when I buy things at Jubao Pavilion."

Yan Shaozhe: Ahem, does anyone have a problem with my disciple's top-tier VIP card?

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao took out a red card made of Crimson Spirit Warm Jade with a golden pattern from her storage soul tool and showed it to Chen Feng.

The card bears the three simple characters "Jubaoge" on it, but there are no other markings.

Chen Feng looked at the card in Ma Xiaotao's hand and took out an identical red card from his storage soul tool. "Sister Xiaotao, does that mean we can take six things with us?"

Chen Feng looked at his red card, which he had received when he first met Zhang Lexuan with Ma Xiaotao after entering the inner courtyard.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Chen Feng and said, "That's great! Now we can shoot whatever we want without having to choose like everyone else."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Then I'll bid on the Soul Ascension Pill, which can only be taken once in a lifetime."

For Chen Feng, even a tenth increase in soul power is still soul power. Things that can increase cultivation without side effects are rare in the soul master world. If he comes across one, he'll take it without hesitation.

After saying that, Chen Feng took the price quote device from Ma Xiaotao's delicate hand and entered the numbers.

Ma Xiaotao smiled and said, "Honey, insert the VIP card into the card slot on the back."

Following Ma Xiaotao's instructions, Chen Feng inserted the top-tier VIP card into the card slot behind the price quote device.

After Chen Feng entered the information, Zhou Li, a young woman in a cheongsam on the auction stage, smiled and said upon seeing a top VIP bidding, "Alright, the auction for the first item of the Treasure Appreciation Event, the Soul Ascension Pill, is over. Now, let's move on to the second item!"

Soon, a young woman in a short skirt, a staff member from backstage, came up to the auction stage with a jade box, handed it to Zhou Li, and bowed before stepping back.

Zhou Li opened the jade box, and a pale purple Ganoderma lucidum appeared on the screens of many inner court students.

The entire Ganoderma lucidum is purple, with an emerald-green stem at the bottom and a small leaf.

Zhou Li said, "Purple Ganoderma, a high-grade medicinal herb for strengthening the body's foundation, costs 10,000 gold soul coins!"

...............

As time went by, one item after another was auctioned off, and Chen Feng and Ma Xiaotao each used their attempts twice more.

Zhou Li opened a storage bag, revealing a peculiar object that was semi-transparent, like a magnificent gemstone, radiating alluring soul power fluctuations, displayed before Chen Feng's screen.

Finally, the most anticipated soul bone appeared...
