58: Chapter 58 High-Quality Soul Bone Appears at Auction House

Having taken a blow from Mu Qingci, the Holy Light Dragon Horse was unable to flee further and could only fight back.

However, even in its prime, its combat power was no match for Mu Qingci. Now that it was injured and its strength weakened, it was even less of a match for him.

Mu Qingci swung the Hades Sword repeatedly, worsening the Holy Light Dragon Horse's injuries.

"Second Spirit Ability, Dark Nether Ghost Slash!"

A black and gold sword energy slashed out, successfully dealing a heavy blow to the Holy Light Dragon Horse.

"Guyi, hurry up and end its life. It looks like it won't hold on much longer," Mu Qingci said to Ye Guyi as she arrived.

spirit rings can only be absorbed by the person who ends the Spirit Beast's life. The Holy Light Dragon Horse before them had been heavily wounded by Mu Qingci, and its wounds were being continuously torn by both Ultimate Light and Ultimate Dark attributes; it was on the verge of death.

Hearing this, Ye Guyi quickly stepped forward and released her Spirit.

Her second spirit ring lit up beneath her feet, and a slightly illusory Angelic Sacred Sword appeared in her hand.

Ye Guyi aimed at the dying Holy Light Dragon Horse and fiercely thrust the long sword in her hand into it.

With a spray of blood, the Holy Light Dragon Horse's vitality plummeted, and it finally died.

A pitch-black spirit ring floated out from its body, emitting the pressure of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Ye Guyi sat cross-legged and began to circulate her Soul Power to absorb the spirit ring.

The energies of light and holiness intertwined around her; the process of absorbing the spirit ring was surprisingly smooth.

An hour later, Ye Guyi opened her eyes, her gaze filled with joy and gratitude.

"Thank you, Qingci."

She hugged Mu Qingci tightly.

Because only she knew how much benefit this spirit ring had brought her.

Mu Qingci did not speak, simply allowing her to hold him. His slender fingers brushed through her golden hair, and a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

"Alright, Guyi, let's go back."

"Mm."

...

One day, while Mu Qingci was wandering around Mingdu with nothing to do, he happened to pass by the entrance of the Mingdu Grand Auction House.

The auction house was exceptionally lively today, with far more people than usual.

Mu Qingci accidentally heard the words "Spirit Bone," and out of curiosity, he squeezed into the crowd to check the notice.

The notice was posted by the Mingdu Grand Auction House.

Mu Qingci glanced at it casually; the general meaning was an advertisement for tonight's auction.

When Mu Qingci's gaze swept over the last few lines, he finally found something that interested him.

[Grand Finale Item: One high-quality Light-attribute Spirit Bone]

[Auction Requirement: Barter preferred]

Anything that could be called a high-quality Spirit Bone must have at least a ten-thousand-year age.

In the Sun Moon Empire, high-quality Spirit Bones were extremely rare, to the point where they could not be measured by money, which was why the barter condition existed.

Even if one wanted to buy it with money, the price would be astronomical.

Since the owner of this Spirit Bone had brought such a precious item out for auction, they certainly weren't doing it because they lacked money.

The purpose was nothing more than a few possibilities: either the Spirit Bone's attribute didn't suit them and they wanted to trade for another, or they wanted to trade for other treasures, such as high-level spirit tools.

Regardless of the reason, Mu Qingci intended to acquire this Spirit Bone.

He happened to have two high-age Ice-attribute Spirit Bones in his possession that he could use for the trade.

Mu Qingci was not trading for this Light-attribute Spirit Bone for himself, but for Ye Guyi.

Ye Guyi did not yet have a suitable Spirit Bone; if she could obtain this one, it would certainly be of great benefit to her.

It was already evening, and there wasn't much time left before the auction began.

After verifying his assets with the staff at the entrance, Mu Qingci successfully entered the auction house.

Finding an empty corner to sit in, Mu Qingci closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the auction to begin.

An hour later.

As the spotlights turned off one by one, the auction officially began.

The spotlights lit up again, converging on the auction stage in the center.

A beautiful woman wearing a purple qipao walked over gracefully.

"Good evening, guests. Welcome to the Mingdu Grand Auction House. I am your auctioneer for this event, Xuanxuan!"

Most of the people present were men, and with Xuanxuan's melodious voice, stunning appearance, and superb linguistic skills, she quickly stirred up the atmosphere of the venue.

Although Mu Qingci was not a monk who shunned the sight of beauty, he was not the type to be captivated by such earthly charms.

He simply sat there quietly, closing his eyes and resting, waiting for the item he wanted.

"Coming up next is the first auction item, a Level 5 Energy Gathering spirit tool cannon!"

With a wave of Xuanxuan's hand, two attendants brought up a brand-new spirit tool cannon.

With her vivid and descriptive presentation, it was successfully auctioned off at a price 20% higher than the market value.

I don't know how much time had passed, but it was finally time for the exciting grand finale item to appear.

"Time flies so fast. I didn't expect we would reach the last item of the night so quickly."

Xuanxuan held a jade box in her left hand.

"I believe everyone already knows what this grand finale item is through the announcement. Now, allow me to provide a detailed explanation for everyone."

She opened the box in her hand, and an aura of light, rich to the extreme, instantly swept through the entire auction hall.

A left arm Spirit Bone in excellent condition appeared in the box.

"As everyone knows, for a Spirit Master, the most important things are nothing more than spirit rings and Spirit Bones. Even in our Sun Moon Empire, a country that champions spirit tools, this remains true."

She raised the box in her hand slightly to present it better to the distinguished guests.

"This is a left arm bone from a 70,000-year-old Light Unicorn."

Once the number 70,000 years was spoken, it caused a commotion at the scene.

Mu Qingci opened his eyes at this moment, his bright golden eyes quietly gazing at the Spirit Bone in the auctioneer's hand on the stage.

"I believe everyone is also very puzzled: why would such a precious Spirit Bone be brought out for auction? Here, I would like to explain the reason on behalf of the owner of this Spirit Bone."

To prevent others from thinking there was a problem with the Spirit Bone, which would affect the final result of the auction, Xuanxuan explained.

"There is nothing wrong with the Spirit Bone itself; it's just that the owner obtained this Spirit Bone by chance, and it does not match their own attributes. That is why they brought it out for auction, hoping to trade it for a treasure that suits them via bartering."

After explaining the reason, the auction officially began.

"I bid a peak Level 7 spirit tool!"

"I bid a 50,000-year Fire-attribute Spirit Bone!"

As soon as the auction began, many people started competing to make bids.

However, the items they offered clearly did not reach the value of this Spirit Bone, and a flash of anxiety passed through Xuanxuan's eyes.

If she couldn't auction it off at a suitable price, it would have a significant impact on her career as an auctioneer, as this was, after all, her first time auctioning such a precious item.

Just as the whole crowd was competing with their bids, a young man's voice rang out from a corner.

"I bid an 80,000-year Ice-attribute left leg bone."
