Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, a mask as thin as paper, pale blue, with intricate and regular patterns carved into it, resembling a seductive demon fox from a distance.

Under the eerie pale blue light, a human-like figure seemed to slowly materialize. The crowd couldn't see the face but could clearly make out the misty, damp eyes, carrying the charm of a misty, water-filled landscape, with nine massive tails swaying behind, indicating that the entity was not human.

"So beautiful..."

Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and most of the bidders couldn't help but be entranced, their eyes fixed on the alluring nine-tailed figure, the intoxicating feeling like rose wine spreading from their brows to their hearts.

The moment Ling Bai saw the nine-tailed figure, the Six-Winged Angel automatically protected him, the holy aura surging, barely resisting the mental charm. Ning Fengya, on the other hand, released the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower to shield herself from all interference. The power of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty was so strong that even the seventy-ninth- level Ning Fengya was affected.

Ning Fengya's shadow extended a head, two beams of ink-black light shooting into Ning Tian and Wu Feng's minds.

Shadow Dragon Douluo Xie Qin's move successfully awakened the two women.

"A mental attribute soul conductor!" Ning Tian exclaimed as soon as he regained consciousness.

Ling Bai rationally analyzed, "It's more than that. The Thousand Charm Demon Beauty contains a high-quality mental attribute head soul bone, likely ten thousand years old."

Wu Feng felt as if his brain had shrunk, confused, "Huh? How do you know?"

"Go play, dear."

Ling Bai shot a pitying glance at her, but with the presence of the sect leader Ning Fengya, Wu Feng didn't dare to use her Innate Soul Skill: Tyrannical at Home. Instead, she crossed her arms and pouted, sulking and letting others guess.

"It's okay, Xiao Feng, I don't know either."

Ning Fengya's shadow slowly moved, forming these words.

"Uncle Xie!" Wu Feng was instantly moved to tears.

"Xie Qin, don't mess with my shadow!"

Upon hearing this, the shadow formed a pouting, crying face before obediently returning to Ning Fengya's original appearance.

After scolding the Shadow Dragon Douluo, Ning Fengya's eyes narrowed, and she sighed, "Finally, we have something good this year."

The Annual Grand Ceremony of the Soul Heaven Royal Family always invited the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and Ning Fengya, out of respect for the royal family, always attended. The Douluo Continent's original three empires had never produced a Ninth-Rank Soul Artisan, meaning they had no Ninth-Rank Soul Tool. Thus, the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty was the first and foremost soul conductor of the three empires!

The auction house's guests were all sharp, and they naturally thought what Ning Fengya did. They instantly perked up, eyes wide as copper bells, eagerly hoping to take home this Grade 8 Peak Soul Conductor!

The air was filled with unprecedented excitement. Xina, with her professional demeanor, smiled gracefully despite her inner joy, and introduced, "Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, a Grade 8 Peak Soul Conductor, crafted by the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, using a Ten-Thousand-Year Seductive Demon Fox Head Bone that was killed after transforming into a human form."

Upon hearing this, everyone involuntarily drew a sharp breath. A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone used to make a soul conductor-what soul artisan of the Mingde Hall dared to be so extravagant!

"As everyone knows, a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone comes with two soul skills. The Thousand Charm Demon Fox Soul Bone is no exception. The first soul skill is called Disguise. As the name suggests, the user can disguise themselves in various forms, including appearance, physique, soul power, number of soul rings, and color of soul rings, with minimal soul power consumption. For some male guests who wish to hide their identities and seek pleasure, the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty is perfect for you!"

Xina made a harmless joke, and some male ests in the audience showed a knowing smile.

"Not bad..."

Ling Bai's interest was piqued. The Disguise soul skill was similar to the second soul skill of the Spirit Eye in the original story, an excellent soul skill for traveling and committing crimes, especially when using the evil soul beast Death Prison Spider Emperor, where hiding one's identity was crucial.

"Do you want it?" Ning Fengya asked with a calm demeanor.

"A little."

The ice silk mask bought in the Dark Radiant Forest last time was only a Grade 5 soul conductor. Now, hearing about the Disguise soul skill of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, Ling Bai felt a shameful attraction.

"Buy it."

It was a heart-pounding attraction, impossible to avoid!

Ling Bai announced that from now on, Ning Fengya would be the top goddess in his heart, pushing aside all others to make room for Aunt Ya!

The light word "buy" was like a divine melody to Ling Bai's ears!

No wonder so many young men in his past life liked steel wool; wealth truly was wealth!

"The second soul skill of the Thousand Charm Demon Fox Soul Bone is called Spiritual Barrier. It creates a layer of spiritual defense in the user's Spirit Sea, which can only be broken by an attack with over ten thousand years of Thousand Charm Demon Fox mental power. By the way, to see through the Disguise, one also needs to surpass the mental power of the Thousand Charm Demon Fox."

Xina paused here, hearing the heavy breathing around her, her smile growing even brighter. The Spirit Sea was the weakest point for most soul masters, and the Thousand Charm Demon Fox's Spiritual Barrier could protect the Spirit Sea, making it a highly sought-after soul skill for soul masters of any level!

"The above are the skills of the Ten-Thousand-Year Seductive Demon Fox Head Bone. Next, I will introduce the abilities added by the soul artisan of the Mingde Hall when crafting the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty soul conductor.

First, the second soul skill of the Thousand Charm Demon Fox, the Spiritual Barrier, is powerful but consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, the soul artisan engraved an Eighth-Grade Charging Core Array, which gradually fills the required mental power for the soul skill as the user cultivates. The speed depends on the user's cultivation level. Once charged, it allows the user to release the Spiritual Barrier twice in a short period, enhancing the defensive effect. Second, the Thousand Charm Demon Fox is a top-tier soul beast with a rare charm ability. The human-form Thousand Charm Demon Fox was known to attract both men and women, gathering a large group of experts under its command. In the end, the Sun Moon Empire had to send the Royal Dragon, Fear Claw, and Fire Phoenix soul artisan teams to completely

exterminate it.

Considering this, the soul artisan used an Eighth-Grade Amplification Core Array to amplify the charm aura within the soul bone. While the effect of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty is not as extreme as the human-form demon fox, it can at least make people who see the user

feel more goodwill.

Third, once fully charged, the Eighth-Grade Dynamic Loop Core Array activates, and the mental power of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty nourishes the user. The effect of a ten- thousand-year mental attribute soul beast on a soul master's mental nourishment should be

clear to everyone."

"Why isn't the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty a Ninth-Rank Soul Tool?" In box 888, Ling Bai, after listening for a while, suddenly asked a soul-piercing question.

"Of course, there's an issue with this soul bone. Otherwise, with the rarity of Ten-Thousand-

Year Soul Bones in the Sun Moon Empire, they wouldn't waste it on a soul conductor," Ning Fengya smiled faintly, revealing the truth.

Sure enough, Xina stepped forward, deeply bowing to the bidders, and apologetically said, "The principle of the Tianhun Auction House is honesty. I've mentioned many advantages, but now I must tell you the disadvantages of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty.

The Thousand Charm Demon Fox died after being hit by a Grade Nine Pre-Loaded Soul Cannon Shell, causing some flaws in the ten-thousand-year head soul bone. Soul masters cannot absorb it normally; forcing absorption would shatter the Spirit Sea, so it can only be made into a soul conductor.

Due to these flaws, the Thousand Charm Demon Fox Soul Bone cannot support a Ninth-Grade Core Array, and its limit is Eighth-Grade Peak. Unless the user repairs the soul bone in the future, the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty has a chance to advance to a Ninth-Rank Soul

Tool.

That's all I have to say. Please consider carefully. The starting bid for the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty is ten million gold soul coins, with a minimum increment of ten thousand gold

soul coins. The auction begins!"

"Eleven million!"

The first bid soared by a million, and the bidders' enthusiasm for the Thousand Charm Demon

Beauty remained undiminished. The minor flaws did not detract from its Eighth-Grade Peak quality and even represented a potential for advancement, which could be considered an

advantage from a certain perspective!

"Fifteen million!"

"Twenty million!"

...

"Forty million!"

The bidding was intense, and the bidders were determined to secure this life-saving artifact.

The price quickly broke forty million gold soul coins, and the voices gradually faded. In the

exclusive box 666 of Shrek Academy, the burly Qian Duoduo, looking at the green numbers on

the screen, smiled with a determined excitement.

"Hehe, mine, all mine!"

Qian Duoduo began to imagine studying the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, but the next

second, the green numbers were replaced by a rainbow of colors.

"Fifty million."

"Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?"

Qian Duoduo rubbed his hands, his face twisted with hesitation, but he gritted his teeth and

continued to bid.

"Fifty-two million."

"Sixty million."

In

a blink, the price increased by eight million, and Qian Duoduo almost spat out a mouthful

of blood. His trembling finger was about to press the bidding button when the rainbow- colored sixty million suddenly turned into seventy million!

The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had added ten million! "So what if you have money! You're just picking on a soft target!"

Qian Duoduo was furious, but what could he do? With money, there was nothing the Nine

Treasures Crystal Tower couldn't buy, and Ning Tian was the direct disciple of his wife, Fairy Lin'er, making them family.

"Well, I'll swallow my pride and ask Xiao Tian. She'll definitely lend me the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty for a few days of study!"

Qian Duoduo, the headmaster, decided to give up.

"Seventy million first time, seventy million second time, seventy million third time, sold! Congratulations to the guest in box 888!"

With Xina's hammer falling, the Tianhun Auction House's Annual Grand Ceremony came to an end. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower spent nearly a hundred million gold soul coins to buy half of the auction items, including the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, the Grade 7 Bottle, a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, and a complete set of Sixth-Rank Pre-Loaded Soul Cannon Shells.

Ling Bai returned to the sect with a full harvest. The first three items were all bought for him,

and the Soul Devouring Carving Knife and the Grade 7 Bottle were already quietly stored in his

storage soul conductor. He was now admiring the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, worth seventy million gold soul coins.

Suddenly, Ling Bai noticed a special mark carved on the inner side of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty, shaped like an L. "Signature... quite bold, aren't you?"

Ling Bai laughed, some soul artisans considered themselves artists and liked to carve unique

marks on their creations as signatures. The problem was that the Mingde Hall did not allow internal soul artisans to sell high-grade soul conductors to the three empires, and strategic- level soul conductors like the Spiritual Barrier were strictly prohibited.

The creator of the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty not only did it but also dared to sign it. If

the Mingde Hall discovered it, they would likely be cut into three thin slices: lean meat, fatty meat, and inch-thick soft bones.

Of course, the creator still retained a bit of reason. At least the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty had no offensive capabilities and was engraved with a self-destruction array, discouraging outsiders from dismantling the outer shell to study the core array. "Try it, try it! I've never seen such a high-grade soul conductor!"

Wu Feng couldn't wait to urge Ling Bai, and Ning Fengya, Ning Tian, and the head of the

Shadow Dragon Douluo, Xie Qin, peeked out from Ning Fengya's shadow.

"Alright."

Ling Bai gently placed the Thousand Charm Demon Beauty on his face, and a pale blue light shone, transforming him into a fiery-haired, fiery-eyed, curvaceous young woman.

"Hey, why are you turning into me!" Wu Feng was furious.

"I'm the real Wu Feng, okay!"

The 'Wu Feng' rolled her eyes.

"Do you believe I'll bite you!" "Do you believe I'll bite you!"

The real and fake Wu Fengs argued back and forth, swapping positions several times, making

the other three dizzy. The Shadow Dragon Douluo changed Ning Fengya's shadow into a large question mark, indicating he couldn't tell which was the real Wu Feng, the Disguise effect was

surprisingly excellent.

Returning to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, the group dispersed to their rooms. Ning

Fengya kicked the Shadow Dragon Douluo, who was sneaking into her room through her shadow. "Uncle Xie is really obsessed..."

Ling Bai shook his head and laughed. Xie Qin, like Du Weilun, was a failure, but the Shadow Dragon Douluo was more persistent. After graduating from the Shrek Academy Inner Courtyard, he joined the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, seemingly determined to pursue his obsession to the end.

Diving into his Spirit Sea, Ling Bai met Ilex, who was visibly excited, and the yawning Death Prison Spider Emperor. "Old Ilex, I've obtained the Spirit Devouring Blade."

Ilex patted his shoulder and said, "You're truly blessed, to encounter the Life Gold, which can

transform heaven and earth! Once absorbed, your Spirit Sea will evolve into a Spiritual Life Sea, greatly increasing your physical strength and mental power, and achieving the Realm of Life and Death Harmony with the Death Prison Spider Emperor! My thread of divine consciousness will also have a host, becoming stable from now on. To avoid delays, let's refine it now!"

"Please wait, Old Ilex." Ling Bai's expression was calm.

"What's wrong?" Ilex frowned.

"I have a question. Can the Life Gold save my teacher Jianmu Douluo?"

Ling Bai asked seriously, a glimmer of hope flickering in his eyes. The Life Gold was the only

thing he could imagine that might save Jianmu Douluo from the brink of death.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ilex studied Ling Bai for a long time before nodding gently and saying, "Yes, but the cost is

high. When you probed Jianmu Douluo's condition yesterday, I sensed a faint life force, both internally and externally depleted. He can last at most ten more years. If you want to save him, you must use half of the Life Gold to replenish his life force and heal his internal injuries. For me to stabilize my divine consciousness, I also need half of the Life Gold... Young man, you will only encounter this Life Gold once in your life. Consider your options carefully."

"What is meant to be, will be."

Ling Bai smiled faintly, taking out the Spirit Devouring Blade and handing it to Ilex.

"My teacher has done much for me. If not for his forced refinement of the Ming Emperor Pill to suppress the Death Prison Spider Emperor, he would have lived five more years. Old Ilex, we are a Symbiotic Body, so I need not explain further. You and my teacher each take half of

the Life Gold, and I will search for more in the future."

Ilex gazed at the Spirit Devouring Blade in his hand, then looked at Ling Bai's warm face,

realizing he was truly willing to give up the Life Gold.

"A good child, my final legacy will be yours..."

"Huh?"

Ling Bai immediately understood, saying helplessly, "Old Ilex, another humanity test?"

He was already considering going to the Star Dou Great Forest to knock on Brother Haimao's

door!

Ilex laughed heartily, "We are a symbiotic body, but some things must be taught, and I need to test you.

Very well, you haven't disappointed me!

What I said earlier was a lie. Myself and your teacher don't need that much Life Gold!"
