Yan Wuyue didn’t stop Zhou Mingrui from bidding because she believed that Zhou Mingrui wouldn’t make a rash move. He must have his reasons for doing so.

Although the second item was valuable, it was useless to Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui.

When the silk cloth was removed for the third item, Zhou Mingrui’s eyes lit up.

It was a huge skull about four meters long, looking extremely ferocious. Even though it had turned into bones, it still had a shocking aura.

“The third item is also a skull from a level 7 monster. Perhaps everyone is curious as to why a skull would be up for auction, so listen to me.”

!!

The auctioneer smiled as he introduced, “The bones of a level 7 monster aren’t worth much, but what if they contain the spiritual will of a level 7 monster?”

This sentence immediately caused a stir among the people below the stage.

The level 7 monster’s bone was secondary, even though its value was not bad, after all, it was hard to maintain such a complete skull.

If it contained spiritual will, the value would instantly be different.

“I’m sure you all know how precious a level 7 monster’s spiritual will is. Even though it’s not complete, it’s because it’s incomplete that it has a higher value to all of you.”

The host continued to smile. “The Treasure Gathering Pavilion has already gotten a professional appraiser to examine it. The consciousness form within it can be absorbed even by a level 3 summoner or summoned spirit.”

The expressions of the people sitting down changed slightly.

The improvement of one’s spiritual will could bring many benefits, whether it was the improvement of one’s own energy control, the improvement of the synchronization rate with the summoned spirit, or even the improvement of one’s level.

To improve one’s spiritual will, one had to either temper it in battle or through external stimulation. This method of absorbing other consciousness forms to supplement it was also one of the best methods without any side effects.

“Alright, I’ll cut to the chase. The starting price is 4 million, and each bid must be no less than three hundred thousand!”

“4.7 million!”

“5 million!”

“5.3 million!”

“5.7 million!”

The auction immediately began to bid fiercely. It was obvious that everyone present was very interested in this skull.

“I only have 7 million now. You just used more than 1 million.” Yan Wuyue knew that this thing would be very useful to Zhou Mingrui.

Unlike the others, Zhou Mingrui was more interested in the skull. With his undead summoning skill, even if it was not at level 7, he could at least summon a level 6 undead envoy.

The consciousness form left in it could help him summon the undead envoy more easily.

“Only 7 million…” Zhou Mingrui could only sigh in regret when he saw that the bidding price had already reached 6.5 million.

“8 million!” Zhao Anqi suddenly raised her hand.

“Hmm?” Zhou Mingrui turned his head to look.

“I know you really want this thing. Actually, I didn’t come here today to bid for anything. As long as you like it, I’ll bid for it for you.” Zhao Anqi stuck out her tongue and said.

“That wouldn’t be good.” Zhou Mingrui said, a little embarrassed.

“Alright, this should be her father’s orders. The purpose should be to thank us for helping their family last time, right?”

Yan Wuyue’s voice suddenly came out of the microphone, which stunned Zhao Anqi. She then snorted unhappily.

It was because Yan Wuyue was right. It was Zhao Desheng who had told her to do so.

As long as there was something that Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue liked at the auction house, and as long as it was not an outrageously high price, they would be able to buy it.

She had wanted to take this opportunity to please, but Yan Wuyue’s words had revealed the situation.

The price had already reached 8.3 million after the competition.

“8.5 million!” Zhao Anqi was angry, but she still made a bid.

At this time, the people in the place all quieted down. It wasn’t that they didn’t have money, but the value of the item was almost at the maximum.

No one knew how many more consciousness forms there were in this thing. It would be a loss if it was only a little for the price of 8 million.

“8 million going twice, 8 million going thrice, sold!

“Congratulations to the lady in the ninth seat for successfully winning auction item number 13.”

As the host’s voice fell, the skull was announced to be given to Zhao Anqi.

“Thank you,” Zhou Mingrui said.

Although it was Zhao Desheng’s order, he still had to thank Zhao Anqi.

A smile finally appeared on Zhao Anqi’s face when she heard Zhou Mingrui’s words. It was as though a single word from Zhou Mingrui would make her happy.

The next three auction items were of no use to them, so the two of them didn’t bid.

“The next item can be said to be one of the highlights of this auction. It’s a Myriad Soul Flower from the core area of Zone C.

When the gauze was removed, a plant placed in a transparent glass cover was presented to everyone.

Upon seeing the plant, even Zhou Mingrui, who had seen all sorts of wondrous things, was taken aback.

This plant was called the Myriad Soul Flower, but it looked like a sunflower. However, in the center of the flower, there were sesame-sized human faces.

Each face had its mouth wide open as if they were wailing silently. The petals around the flower were also swaying without any wind, emitting a faint black mist.

All of this made the people present feel creeped out.

The host said, “There should be some people here who know the details of the Myriad Soul Flower. However, some people don’t. I’ll give you a simple explanation.”

“I won’t explain the origin of the Myriad Soul Flower. It has many functions, but one of them is that it can greatly enhance the summoner and the summoned spirit’s resistance to illusions, charm, slavery, and other mental types. At the same time, it has a strong mental tempering effect.”

“Of course, consuming the Myriad Soul Flower will cause you to suffer the side effects of the countless vengeful spirits within. It is best not to use it without a spiritual defense of level 5 or above.

Zhou Mingrui was a little confused. Yan Wuyue seemed to know that as well, so she took the initiative to say, “This thing seems very useful, but it actually has a huge hidden danger.”

“A huge hidden danger?” When Zhou Mingrui heard this, he immediately asked in confusion, “The Treasure Gathering Pavilion didn’t say there was such a hidden danger.”

“The reason why the Treasure Gathering Pavilion didn’t mention it was because the hidden dangers caused by consuming the Myriad Soul Flower would only appear after level 7, and it would become more and more serious.”

Yan Wuyue’s voice was very serious. “To put it nicely, that thing can temper the spiritual consciousness of the summoner and the summoned spirit. But these people don’t know that it actually gives the Myriad Soul Flower a chance to parasitize.”

“Parasitize!” Zhou Mingrui was shocked when he heard that.

“You think that the Myriad Soul Flower is a good thing just because it looks like this?” Yan Wuyue ridiculed.

“Does this have anything to do with the appearance of the Myriad Soul Flower?” Zhou Mingrui’s face was filled with question marks.

“Why else do you think the Myriad Soul Flower would grow like that?” Yan Wuyue immediately asked.
