Chapter 117. Dream of the Mortal World: Sister is willing to let you live off my money.
Could it be used as a medium to store a soul?
Yun Ze's interest was immediately piqued.
He wasn't particularly interested in the carving knife itself; his ice crystal carving knife, made from ice elemental energy, was sufficient for his current soul tool creation. However, casting necromancy required a unique storage space.
Currently, the only space Yun Ze possessed that could store a soul was his Sea of Spirit.
But compared to the Sea of Spirit, this carving knife was undoubtedly a better choice.
"The starting bid for this malevolent soul carving knife is eight million, with each bid increment not less than two hundred thousand gold soul coins. Now, esteemed guests, please begin the bidding." As the host's gentle voice amplified through the soul tool, many esteemed guests immediately called out their bids.
There were quite a few soul masters present, and the vast majority were even quite skilled.
After all, the Sun Moon Empire was a major soul tool power, and most of these officials and nobles had studied the relevant knowledge of soul tools.
A carving knife like this not only rivals those listed in the auction house, but also possesses the power to enhance spiritual strength. While the exact extent of this enhancement is unknown, it's undoubtedly a rare item.
The starting bid of eight million is hardly high.
In just a few moments, the price of this carving knife surpassed ten million, making it the only item to break that mark.
Yun Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't immediately place a bid.
Meng Hongchen glanced at Yun Ze, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Xiao Ze, do you want it?"
"Yes," Yun Ze nodded.
Meng Hongchen thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Then I'll bid on it and give it to you."
Yun Ze was taken aback, then shook his head, "Sister, this is too expensive, I can't spend so much of your money."
"Silly little brother!" Meng Hongchen's eyes held a hint of reproach as she moved closer to Yunze and gently took his hand. "Don't worry, this is what I want, you don't need to feel guilty."
Yunze gave her a deep look, then forced a smile. "Okay!"
To be honest, Yunze didn't think there was anything wrong with being a kept man.
Being able to live off a kept man was a skill in itself.
Besides, being pampered by Meng Hongchen like this, Yunze felt quite good.
When the price of the carving knife reached fourteen million, the bidding slowed down. Just then, Meng Hongchen spoke to a girl in a golden dress, "We bid fifteen million gold soul coins."
Upon hearing this, the girl in the golden dress quickly went to a spot in the private room and gently pressed a button on a control panel.
Soon, the host announced loudly, "The VIP in Box 8 has bid 15 million!"
Not long after, she spoke again, "The VIP in Box 6 has bid 16 million!"
"17 million," Meng Hongchen said calmly, as if this one-million-dollar increase was just a small sum for her.
"18 million!" the host's voice rang out again quickly.
"19 million!"
"20 million!"
"21 million!"
"200 million..." Hearing the host's incessant chatter, Yunze tightened his grip on Meng Hongchen's hand. "Sister, maybe we should call it quits. It seems like she really wants this carving knife too. If we keep going like this, we'll end up spending tens of millions."
"Tens of millions is nothing. We can just ask my grandfather for it later," Meng Hongchen said nonchalantly.
Yunze's lips twitched. Actually, if Meng Hongchen weren't here, tens of millions of gold soul coins wouldn't be a big deal for him.
Of course, it wasn't that Yunze had a lot of money on hand, but this carving knife was very useful to him, definitely worth spending tens of millions to buy.
But now that Meng Hongchen was around, Yunze didn't want to reveal his background and identity to her so quickly, so he was spending Meng Hongchen's money.
Being a kept man is certainly enjoyable, but it's impossible to be completely without any psychological burden.
In the end, after Meng Hongchen called out a bid of thirty million, the sixth VIP box stopped bidding.
"Congratulations to the VIP in Box 8 for winning this Soul-Embracing Carving Knife!" The host's sweet, melodious voice rang out, even glancing towards the box where Yun Ze and Meng Hongchen were, offering a slight smile.
Thirty million—this price was definitely beyond the Mingdu Auction House's expectations.
They had originally estimated the item would fetch around twenty million, but now it had increased by a full ten million gold soul coins, a substantial profit.
However, Meng Hongchen seemed completely unconcerned, as if the thirty million hadn't been spent by her.
Soon after, the door to the box opened, and a stunningly beautiful young woman in a purple dress entered, carrying a metal box. She first bowed slightly to Yun Ze and Meng Hongchen before opening the box, revealing the Soul-Embracing Carving Knife inside.
Yun Ze glanced at Meng Hongchen, then picked it up.
The moment the carving knife touched his hand, a chilling aura emanated from it, but this wasn't an ice-attribute aura; rather, it was the frigid chill formed by the deathly energy reaching a certain level.
"Not bad." Holding the carving knife, Yunze felt a special sharpness within it gradually tempering his spiritual power. Although the effect wasn't particularly strong, it was still quite good.
This was essentially a fully automatic spiritual power cultivation device; Yunze didn't need to activate it at all. Just carrying it around allowed him to continuously hone his spiritual power.
Even Meng Hongchen, standing beside him, looked at the carving knife in Yunze's hand with some surprise. "It's amazing! Just being around it, I can feel my spiritual power slowly being tempered and improved. Xiaoze, this is truly a wonderful treasure!" "
In the future, besides cultivating soul power, we can also use this carving knife to train our spiritual power. I believe that if we continue like this, it won't be long before you can try making a level six soul tool," Yunze said with a smile.
Hearing Yunze say this, Meng Hongchen felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
"Mmm!"
She gently hugged Yunze's arm, listening to the auctioneer continue the auction.
The following items were also soul tools, all produced by Mingde Hall.
Hearing the tens of millions in transaction price, Yun Ze gave Meng Hongchen a deep look.
No wonder she was so unconcerned about the thirty million price tag; Mingde Hall probably earned nearly a hundred million from this auction alone.
Even after deducting the cost of manufacturing the soul tools, the profit was still terrifyingly high.
And this was in the heart of the Sun Moon Empire; many cities throughout the empire have high-end auction houses, and most of the items auctioned are from Mingde Hall.
Not to mention the former Three Kingdoms. Of course, the Star Luo Empire strongly opposes Sun Moon's soul tools, but for its own development, the Star Luo royal family occasionally purchases some soul tools produced by Mingde Hall.
The profits are simply astonishing!
