Chapter 158: The Soul Spirit Compendium
Ling Yun keenly noticed the tense atmosphere among the crowd, as if a battle was about to break out. She gently tapped her auction hammer and slowly raised her hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
Once the room settled slightly, she smiled calmly and spoke in a composed tone.
"You don't need to worry. This is not the last soul spirit. In the future, the Star Auction Hall will offer a method for purchasing soul spirits. You don't need to worry; that day is not far off."
After hearing Ling Yun's words, the tension in the crowd eased somewhat, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, even though soul spirits would eventually be available for purchase through the Star Auction Hall, they still wanted to secure this 100,000-year soul spirit.
No one knew if future soul spirits sold by the Star Auction Hall would still include 100,000-year-level soul spirits.
For the various forces and soul masters, the temptation of a 100,000-year soul spirit was too great.
No one was willing to easily give up such a rare opportunity.
…
Jiang Li sat in the fourth floor, observing the reactions of the crowd. His expression remained calm, but a faint hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
He had been planning for the soul spirit for a long time.
In his view, the appearance of the soul spirit would not only usher in a new era for Douluo Continent but also make soul spirit trading an incredibly profitable industry.
With soul spirits, he was confident he could amass a great fortune on Douluo Continent.
In fact, the reason he was so confident in the soul spirits was entirely due to his previous good fortune.
He had drawn the Soul Spirit Compendium.
The so-called Soul Spirit Compendium recorded all the spirit beasts that had appeared on Douluo Continent, from ancient times to the present.
No matter the type of spirit beast or the stage of its age, detailed information could be found in the Compendium.
All one needed to do was state the specific name and age of the spirit beast and spend a certain amount of gold soul coins, and they could create a soul spirit identical to those naturally born on Douluo Continent from the Compendium.
This was the reason why he dared to reveal the existence of soul spirits to the public.
In the original story, the emergence of soul spirits indirectly led to the extinction of spirit beasts.
It had only delayed things for a time.
But the introduction of the Soul Spirit Compendium had completely changed the way soul spirits would be obtained in the future.
From now on, one could create a soul spirit simply by spending a certain amount of gold soul coins.
This fundamentally eliminated the possibility of spirit beasts going extinct.
Of course, soul spirits of higher ages would definitely come at an exorbitant price.
However, Jiang Li knew that many soul masters would still choose to risk hunting spirit beasts for their soul rings.
Though buying a soul spirit was expensive, it was far safer, more convenient, and provided a powerful combat partner.
The appearance of soul spirits would undoubtedly provide soul masters on Douluo Continent with a brand-new way to obtain soul rings.
It would greatly reduce the time needed to obtain soul rings and prevent the casualties that occurred during the hunting of spirit beasts.
This would lead to a profound revolution for both soul masters and spirit beasts across Douluo Continent.
"I believe everyone must have doubts about this newly emerged soul spirit,"
Ling Yun's melodious voice echoed through the hall like a nightingale's song.
As soon as she finished speaking, a wave of murmurs swept through the crowd, whispers flooding in like a tide.
At that moment, Ling Yun's gaze suddenly became deep and mysterious. A subtle, elusive smile appeared on her previously calm face.
"In order to let you experience the mystery and magic of soul spirits as soon as possible, the Star Auction Hall will open an opportunity to purchase soul spirits before the final auction item."
"In other words, if any soul masters present want to experience a soul spirit further, they can make a purchase. However, the soul spirits available for purchase will be limited to those below 100,000 years."
Ling Yun didn't hesitate and conveyed Jiang Li's message word for word, announcing the opportunity to purchase a soul spirit.
"I never expected the Star Auction Hall would offer such a benefit. I must experience it first,"
A burly soul master exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms, his eyes filled with longing.
"Though this is the first time I've seen a soul spirit, the Star Auction Hall has never let us down. I'm willing to give it a try,"
A middle-aged soul master, dressed in luxurious clothes, stroked his beard with a firm expression.
At that moment, various discussions filled the air.
All the soul masters present were filled with extreme excitement. Their eyes sparkled with fiery anticipation as they eagerly prepared to purchase a soul spirit from the Star Auction Hall.
The final auction item would only have one winner, and now, with this opportunity to experience a soul spirit, they certainly wouldn't miss it.
Not only was this an opportunity to increase their strength, but it was also a rare chance to explore the mysterious realm of soul spirits.
Ling Yun looked at the soul masters, who were like hungry beasts, eager to buy a soul spirit. She couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
With so many people wanting it, she knew she couldn't let everyone buy one.
She understood that she had to come up with a fair way to select the lucky person.
After a moment of thought, she softly spoke, "Don't worry, we have many soul spirits available in the Star Auction Hall. Once the necessary facilities are set up, we will publicly announce and sell them, so you don't need to worry."
Her words were like a gentle spring breeze, calming the restless emotions of the crowd.
"Since so many of you wish to experience it, I will now randomly select a soul master to grant the opportunity to purchase a soul spirit."
Ling Yun spoke slowly, her voice carrying a mysterious rhythm.
"Buzz!"
Ling Yun's white, jade-like right hand gently waved.
In an instant, a sea of green light appeared as if it had been given life, slowly converging into a vividly lifelike green butterfly.
The butterfly's wings shimmered with strange light, as if it contained boundless magic.
With a light flick of her wrist, the green butterfly suddenly flew toward the audience below.
It began to weave through the crowd, searching for the fated one chosen by destiny.
"Whoever earns the approval of this butterfly will ultimately have the chance to purchase a soul spirit,"
Ling Yun's voice rang out again, adding a sense of tension and mystery to the atmosphere.
At this moment, all the soul masters' eyes were fixed on the green butterfly flying toward them, their gazes filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Some couldn't help but reach out, trying to touch it, only to find that the butterfly seemed unreal, unable to be touched. Their fingers passed right through the shimmering green light, leaving a sense of disappointment.
Thus, the butterfly fluttered gracefully among the crowd, suddenly changing direction and flying toward Shrek Academy.
Finally, it gently landed on the shoulder of a woman.
