"Palace Master, today is the day for the Soul-Breaking Pill auction. Should we set off now?"
Outside the alchemy room, Dugu Yan knocked gently on the door.
"Yeah, I understand."
Xiao Mu's voice came from the alchemy room.
"Huh~"
Dugu Yan patted his chest and left, breathing a long sigh of relief.
Ever since Xiao Mu announced that he wanted to refine the elixir that day, he has never left the alchemy room.
Moreover, within a radius of more than 100 meters around the alchemy room, an invisible force gradually spread. This force could not act on the body, but made people in it feel pressure from the soul.
Although my body was not affected, I felt short of breath and my heart was beating wildly, as if I was being targeted by a natural enemy.
As Dugu Yan is the only disciple in the Soul Palace at present, Huo Yuan transferred many of her chores to Dugu Yan.
For example, things like coming to inform Xiao Mu were previously the responsibility of Huo Yuan.
Dugu Yan retreated a hundred meters away and waited quietly.
In the alchemy room, Xiao Mu sat cross-legged on the cushion, and the invisible soul power surrounded him like a vortex.
As Xiao Mu opened his eyes, the soul power that was dissipating in all directions was taken back by Xiao Mu like a tired bird returning to its nest.
"The Condensed Dew Soul Gathering Pill is quite effective. It has indeed made a great step forward in my soul power."
With the help of Wangchuanqiushuilu, he successfully refined the Ninglu Soul Gathering Pill, and he refined three pills in one furnace, one of which even had three patterns.
Xiao Mu stood up, stretched, moved his neck, and walked out of the alchemy room.
"Palace Master."
Seeing Xiao Mu coming out, Dugu Yan hurriedly saluted.
For some reason, when she first met Xiao Mu, Dugu Yan was a little nervous, but unlike today, she did not feel awe of Xiao Mu from the bottom of her heart, and even wanted to surrender.
Seeing that Dugu Yan was a little nervous, Xiao Mu quickly activated the "Emperor Soul Art" to retract the soul pressure that he had unconsciously released after the breakthrough.
"Come on, it's time for us to leave."
"yes."
Dugu Yan felt much more relaxed and hurried to catch up.
Behind Xiao Mu, she smelled a pleasant scent, which lifted her spirits and even made the world in front of her seem a little clearer.
I don't know what kind of elixir the Palace Master refined. A little bit of medicinal fragrance can have such an effect.
"Palace Master."
When I arrived at the door, everyone in the Soul Palace was here.
"As usual, Ziqi, you guard the Soul Palace, and the others follow me."
Near Tiandou City, there are not only the two Titled Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Titled Douluo Yu Yuanzhen from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, but also Qian Renxue's two guards, Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo.
One of Zhan Kaishan and Yang Ziqi must be left behind to guard the house in case anyone wants to take the opportunity to sneak into the Soul Palace and steal something.
Although Xiao Mu carried the alchemy furnace and precious medicinal herbs with him and there was nothing worth stealing, it was still a bit disconcerting to have someone break into one's home.
"Yes, I will definitely guard the Soul Palace and wait for the Palace Master to come back." Yang Ziqi said with a fist salute.
…
"Is Palace Master Xiao not here yet?"
At the Tiandou Auction House, Xu Yunchang asked.
"Not yet. Should we send someone to the Soul Palace to ask? It's not too far away anyway."
"No need. Someone has already been notified about the rescue yesterday. Please don't disturb Palace Master Xiao again."
Just as Xu Yunchang finished speaking, a waiter came over and said:
"The people from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the Seven Treasures Glazed Clan have arrived."
Xu Yunchang immediately asked, "Who are these people?"
"Both sect leaders came in person. Sect Leader Ning brought Sword Douluo and a little girl, while Sect Leader Yu came with his brother."
Xu Yunchang immediately went to greet him.
Although he had already prepared that the people coming today must be extraordinary, Xu Yunchang was still a little excited when the leaders of two of the three major sects came together.
I don't know if people from Haotian Sect will come and gather together from the top three sects.
Xu Yunchang felt that it was unlikely. The Haotian Sect had been out of touch with worldly affairs for so many years, and the possibility of it reappearing was too small.
"Sect Master Ning is here early."
Outside the auction house, Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi arrived almost at the same time.
Ning Fengzhi responded gracefully, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is relatively close. I didn't expect Sect Master Yu to arrive so quickly."
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect have both cooperation and competition.
The Haotian Sect has been in seclusion, and they have to face the pressure from the Spirit Hall together. However, the two sects have coexisted for so many years, and there have been many frictions and disputes between them. The relationship between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect can only be said to be acceptable on the surface.
Today, though, they are certainly contenders.
"I apologize for not coming to greet you, both of you, for your gracious presence."
Xu Yunchang's arrival was timely.
"Manager Xu, you're too polite. Is the auction open yet?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.
"Of course, please come in, both of you. The seats have been reserved."
"Thank you for your help."
Yu Yuanzhen's arrogance was very obvious. He was rude to Xu Yunchang, the Soul Douluo, and had no interest in communicating with him at all.
Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, was much more tactful and chatted with Xu Yunchang with a smile.
Only after Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen enter the auction hall can others enter at once.
Ordinary people who want to participate in the auction at the Tiandou Auction House need to put up a sufficient deposit. Of course, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect do not need to do so and can just go in directly.
Especially in today's auction, every spot is extremely precious.
Most of the places have actually been reserved by large and small sects, and there are very few places left for ordinary soul masters.
"Brother, let's go in too."
Tang Yuehua said to the person in black robe beside her.
Tang Xiao sighed softly.
He came alone this time, and since the Haotian Sect was very short of money, his hope of winning the Soul-Breaking Pill was slim.
The Haotian Sect decided to postpone its reappearance in the world and first find a way to solve the money problem.
Tang Xiao came here this time more to confirm whether the effect of the Soul-Breaking Pill was true or not.
"How things have changed. Back when our Haotian Sect was still in seclusion, there was no chance for these two sects to dominate the world."
After Tang Xiao came out of seclusion, he found that many young soul masters didn't even know the reputation of the Haotian Sect.
Tang Yuehua comforted him, "Brother, this is not your fault. I believe you can definitely restore the prestige of the Haotian Sect."
"Yes, I will. Yuehua, you have worked hard over the years."
Tang Yuehua shook her head slightly.
"I eat well and sleep well in Tiandou City, so it's not hard at all. The one who suffers the most is my second brother."
Hearing Tang Yuehua mention Tang Hao, Tang Xiao felt a little complicated.
Tang Hao once made everyone in the Haotian Sect proud, but it was also because of him that the Haotian Sect became what it is today.
"We haven't heard from Ah Hao in years. Let's not talk about him for now. Let's go in."
"good."
Tang Yuehua's expression darkened and she looked very lonely.
Although Tang Yuehua has some status in Tiandou City, she cannot get a number at today's Tiandou auction, and she failed to obtain the qualification to bid in advance.
Only after temporarily depositing 100,000 gold soul coins were he and Tang Xiao able to enter.
In a normal auction, one only needs to prove that they have at least 10,000 gold soul coins to participate in the bidding, but in today's auction, the amount has increased tenfold.
"Brother, let's go in."
