Afterwards, Xu Sheng and Yuanen Yehui arrived at the auction house...
The guard in charge of watching the auction house door saw Xu Sheng, his pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately said...
With a face full of fear, "You are... the teacher from Shrek Academy last time?"
He clearly remembered how he almost lost his job at the auction house because of a single sentence, and it was fortunate that the other party did not pursue the matter!
Xu Sheng glanced at him, and said indifferently, "Oh? You still remember me?"
The guard's face revealed a sycophantic smile, "That is, that is, someone of your status naturally deserves the highest treatment!"
Then turning to Yuanen Yehui, he said, "I suppose this must be your student. Is there anything I can assist you with?"
Yuanen Yehui's mouth twitched, and he shook his head, "No need, Teacher Xu and I will go in by ourselves."
Seeing this, the guard stepped aside and gestured with his hand, "In that case, please, if there is anything you need, you can find me anytime."
Only after they stepped inside the auction house did Yuanen Yehui curiously look towards Xu Sheng and ask in confusion, "Teacher Xu, what was with that guard just now? He seemed to be very afraid of you."
With Teacher Xu's gentle character, who would feel afraid?
Xu Sheng smiled faintly, and whispered, "It's nothing, just some misunderstanding at the beginning!"
Seeing he did not intend to explain further, Yuanen Yehui did not continue to inquire and thoughtfully said, "I see."
Thereafter, Xu Sheng and Yuanen Yehui reached the VIP room of the auction house, and called for the woman named Ruo Ling who they had met before!
Ruo Ling stood respectfully to one side, her eyes smiling, and said, "Welcome to our auction house, esteemed guests, may I ask if there is anything I can assist you with?"
Xu Sheng glanced at her and sent the list of Immortal Herbs they needed through his soul tool, calmly saying, "Here is what we need, do you have these in stock at the auction house?"
After checking, Ruo Ling apologetically said, "Guests, a large part of these Immortal Herbs you require are not being auctioned!"
After a pause, she continued, "However, as you are one of our highest-level VIPs, I can take the initiative to use the auction house's storage to sell these Immortal Herbs to you at the most favorable price!"
Xu Sheng nodded, "Then go ahead with it."
He hadn't really expected the auction house to be able to collect all these Immortal Herbs, but it seemed that being the highest-level VIP was of some use!
Ruo Ling smiled, "Alright, esteemed guest!"
After briefly filtering, she sent Xu Sheng the list of Immortal Herbs with some crossed off, explaining, "These are the Immortal Herbs that you'll need to bid for in person. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and apply for you now!"
After she spoke, she bowed slightly and left the VIP room...
It was only after she had left that Yuanen Yehui frowned and said, "Teacher Xu, did you feel it too? When we came in just now, the atmosphere in the auction house was oppressively heavy..."
And there were quite a few auras that had a slight connection with his second Martial Soul, the Fallen Angel...
Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips and said indifferently, "Yes! We just need to watch and wait."
Indeed, after the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion reduced their patrol area, these evil Soul Masters actually dared to gather so boldly!
Seeing that the former's expression did not change, Yuanen Yehui said nothing further...
...
After that, the auction proceeded normally, and Xu Sheng and his companion easily secured the Immortal Herbs they needed!
Yuanen Yehui said with excitement, "Teacher Xu, with these Immortal Herbs, will I be able to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?"
She realized why Teacher Xu was able to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at the Soul King Realm, it turned out he had used so many Immortal Herbs!
Who would have known Xu Sheng shook his head, "No... these Immortal Herbs can enhance your physical strength and mental power, but... the probability of successfully absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is still less than thirty percent!"
Hearing this, Yuanen Yehui was stunned, murmuring, "Thirty... thirty percent?"
In other words, if she didn't use these Immortal Herbs, trying to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring would mean certain death?
Xu Sheng chuckled, "What's the matter, if you're scared, I can help you find a suitable Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"
Yuanen Yehui regained her composure, her face showing a resolute expression, "Scared? Teacher Xu, you're underestimating me. I, Yuanen Yehui, never regret what I say!"
Xu Sheng's dark pupils brightened, "Is that so... I guessed you would say that!"
However, while they were conversing, many soul masters dressed in black robes had already gathered inside the auction house...
One evil Soul Master laughed wildly, "Hahaha, without those kids from Shrek Academy, this place is ours for the taking!"
Another evil Soul Master licked his lips, "Exactly, I'm in a good mood today, why don't we just kill everyone in the auction house!"
"Great! Just the thought of their desperate and helpless eyes, as well as the thrill of killing, makes me unable to contain myself!"
As their words fell, they released their Martial Souls, which exuded an evil aura, instantly drawing the attention of the soul masters inside the auction house...
"Those... those wearing black, they're all evil Soul Masters! Everyone, run!"
"How... how could this be possible, such a strictly guarded auction house, why would it have so many evil Soul Masters?"
"Stop talking, hurry up and run for your life! These evil Soul Masters are ruthless killers!"
"We're not far from Shrek Academy, how dare these evil Soul Masters be so brazen!"
The leading evil Soul Master saw the people starting to run in all directions and sneered, "Thinking of escaping? You must be dreaming!"
In an instant, the horde of evil Soul Masters mercilessly released a wide range of devastating soul skills, flooding everything around them...
"Ahhh... my hand, my hand!"
"Help me, someone help me, I don't want to die!"
"Damn these evil Soul Masters, they really are... ahhhhhh!"
"Just a bunch of evil Soul Masters, I will fight them!"
Countless lives were extinguished under this dense attack, turning into cold, lifeless corpses...
Witnessing this bloody scene, Yuanen Yehui's delicate face instantly paled, and she anxiously said, "Teacher Xu, what should we do, are we just going to let these evil Soul Masters slaughter others..."
Seeing her like this, Xu Sheng said nothing more, but chose to remain silent...
One cannot become excellent by always staying in the greenhouse!
Therefore, it was necessary for Yuanen Yehui to witness the scene unfolding before her eyes!
