Chapter 114: The Soul of the Divine Beast

  "Bang Bang Bang Bang"

  Applause broke out in the conference room. This was today's highest-priced auction item this afternoon, and it was also a highly competitive one. The transaction price of 48 million made the auction company very satisfied.

  "Mr. Liu, congratulations to you."

  Hu Tian first came to congratulate him. He had long known that Liu Yi Yang and Ouyang Xuan had taken a liking to this treasure, and now it could be said that their wishes had come true.

  Four million eight hundred and fifty thousand, a bit higher than the normal price, but if you like it, then it doesn't matter.

  Ouyang Xun let out a sigh of relief. She didn't notice the person at the door. Now her mind was only thinking about this just-snatched immortal artifact Qilin, and she was also thinking about how to go back and find Grandfather to report her merit. Immortal artifact, ah! Although she had lost the protective charm, the protective charm was after all only a quasi-immortal artifact, it couldn't compare with what was in front of her now.

  "Thank you"

  Liu Yi Yang smiled in response and sat down, still a bit puzzled. The person at the door earlier had only caught his back view, and he hadn't gotten a clear look at him.

  The auction is still going on, but Liu Yi Yang and Ouyang Xuan have lost interest in the following items, so they might as well leave early.

  Under Hua Tian's leadership, the two quickly went to the auction company to pay the full amount, plus handling fees, this qilin had already exceeded 5 million. This price is very high for a jade article, but for Ouyang Xuan, spending 5 million to buy an immortal instrument and getting it for free are about the same.

  Even if it's free, you can't find such a good treasure.

  "Mr. Liu, this is the Pixiu jade carving you took a photo of, it's yours now."

  After paying the money, Manager Tian, who had been serving them all along, smiled and said with a more enthusiastic attitude towards Liu Yi Yang.

  Although Liu Yi Yang only bid on one item, he is now qualified to become a key high-quality customer of the company. One item exceeded 50 million and had the fastest repayment. The auction company values such customers the most.

  "Thank you"

  Liu Yi Yang's mind temporarily put aside other distracting thoughts as he took the Qilin, carefully gazing at this treasure before handing it over to Ouyang Xuan.

  Ouyang Xun seemed more excited than Liu Yi Yang. After all, Liu Yi Yang possessed a divine artifact, and no matter how powerful the fairy artifact was, it couldn't compare to a divine artifact. Ouyang Xun didn't have any of these, so one fairy artifact could greatly enhance her combat power.

  "Mr. Hua, let's head back first, tonight we'll be the hosts and treat Mr. Hua to a few drinks, I'm sure he'll join us."

  As they walked out of the auction house, Liu Yi Yang smiled and said to Hua Tian, "He's been following us for several days and has helped us many times. Even I feel a bit guilty, so let me invite him to dinner."

  "Mr. Liu is hosting, I'll definitely come. You and Miss Ouyang go back and rest first, we'll be in touch tonight."

  Hua Tian is a clever person, he has already noticed that Ouyang Xun seems to be distracted, and immediately smiles and excuses himself.

  As for why Ou Yang Wan was like this, he didn't think about it. A superior person's actions have always been different from others. As for the Pi Xiu, he wasn't without suspicion that this was a treasure with other uses. He even specially went to take a closer look and, taking advantage of his good relationship with the auction company, had gone to observe it in person before the auction.

  No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any other problems with the Ch'i-lin, and could only give up.

  But to tell the truth, even if there were other strange things, he wouldn't go and grab them. He knew that having strange things wasn't his thing, and even if he got one, it would be a good thing for him to disappear. With all his heart helping Liu Yi Yang, his gains would be greater.

  Have to say, Hua Tian is a very clever person, at least what he did this time was absolutely right.

  "Xiao Xuan, how should this immortal artifact be used?"

  As soon as Liu Yi Yang returned to his room, he hastily asked a question. He could confirm that this was an immortal artifact, but how to use the immortal artifact, he did not know.

  "I don't know now either, let me try to stimulate it with spiritual power and see"

  Ouyang Huan shook her head and walked over to pull up the curtains and whatnot. This was a divine artifact, after all - who knew if it would cause some huge commotion? Better to take some precautions first.

  The best way to use the immortal artifact is to activate it with immortal energy, but unfortunately, immortal energy can only be obtained after transcending the nine levels and passing the tribulation. Currently, in the entire mortal world, only a few old undying tenth-level powerhouses have this ability. They can only resort to using spiritual energy to stimulate it instead.

  The effect of spiritual energy boost is not good, but it can still be used, much stronger than magic tools.

  Ouyang Huan grasped the Qilin, his palm slowly heating up, a thread of spiritual energy carefully being infused into it. The red jade carving suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, causing Liu Yiyang to involuntarily close his eyes.

  After opening his eyes again, Liu Yi Yang's mouth suddenly opened wide.

  A giant monster over three meters tall appeared in front of them. The hotel room was not large, and the monster could barely stand inside. Ouyang Xuan's eyes widened as she looked at the monster.

  Receive

  Ouyang Xun immediately shouted again, and the huge red monster quickly shrank, transforming back into a Pixiu jade carving, which finally landed in Ouyang Xun's hand.

  "Xiao Xuan, this...this is that immortal artifact from just now"

  Liu Yi Yang hastily walked forward, staring with wide eyes and asked, although the strange beast appeared for a short time, but the aura of pressure on its body was emitted, just feeling this pressure can tell that this immortal artifact is not ordinary.

  Ouyang Xun's eyes widened, and he mechanically nodded his head, saying in a low voice: "Yes, this is actually an immortal artifact that has merged with the soul of a celestial beast."

  "Soul of the Celestial Beast?"

  Liu Yi Yang's eyes also widened, the Xian Beast was an extremely high-level existence, and their souls were precious beyond imagination. Moreover, there were very few in the world who could reach the level of a Xian Beast, let alone obtain a Xian Beast's soul. Even any part of their bodies was incredibly valuable.

  Liu Yi Yang had previously obtained the Blood-colored Phoenix Feather, which was a feather from the immortal beast, the Phoenix. A single feather was already an immortal artifact, let alone anything else.

  "You're not seeing things, this is really the soul of a celestial beast?"

  Liu Yi Yang asked again, he wasn't that he didn't believe Ouyang Xun, it's just that this was too hard to believe.

  He's not completely clueless now. Something as high-level as this being made into a divine artifact is already abnormal, and yet it's being auctioned off like this - there's definitely something fishy going on here.

  "Yes, I can be certain that only the soul of a divine beast would have such pressure. However, this divine beast's soul seems to be somewhat unusual. I need to release it and take a closer look in order to know for sure. This isn't the right place to release it."

  Ouyang Xuan nodded and looked around again.

  They lived in a luxurious suite, the living room was very large, if it wasn't for such a large living room, the soul of the Xian beast that was released earlier would have broken through the room and destroyed the hotel.

  There was also the previous red light, fortunately they made preparations in advance and pulled up the curtains. Otherwise, it would not be good to explain to people if such a dazzling red light were to spread out in broad daylight, and it might even be taken as another public paranormal event or an alien event.

  "Wait till evening, we'll go out and find a place to watch"

  Liu Yi Yang immediately said that it's daytime now, Xuzhou is a big city after all. Even if they go to the suburbs, it's not easy to find a secluded place where no one is around, unless there's some kind of large empty warehouse.

  Unfortunately, the two of them didn't have any connections in Xuzhou and couldn't find a warehouse like that. If they didn't want to trouble Hua Tian with this kind of thing, they could only wait until nightfall.

  Ouyang Xuan nodded, and Liu Yiyang asked again: "Xiao Xuan, what was that monster just now? Its soul was made into a magical instrument. Does that mean the monster is completely dead?"

  The monster appeared for a very short time, Liu Yi Yang only took a glance and didn't see clearly, that's why he asked like this.

  "That is the Qilin's soul, it has merged into this jade, equivalent to giving its soul a vessel. When used, it can summon the Qilin's soul for assistance. The power of the Qilin's soul is immense, but how much it can exert depends on the artifact itself. Unfortunately, this artifact's grade is too low."

  Ouyang Xun said slowly, with a hint of regret still in his eyes. The Qiong Qi was a high-grade sacred beast, and if its soul worked well, it could be used to create a high-ranking sacred artifact. Now, however, it had become a low-ranking sacred artifact, which was truly a pity.

  Ouyang Huan paused for a moment before continuing: "The soul of the immortal beast being made into an immortal artifact doesn't necessarily mean that the immortal beast is already dead. The sign of an immortal beast's death is when its spiritual intelligence is completely erased. I don't know if the spiritual intelligence of the immortal beast's soul in this artifact has been erased or not, we'll have to summon it out and take a look to be sure."

  The Xian beast Qilin appeared for too short a time, Liu Yi Yang didn't even get a clear look, and Ouyang Xun couldn't see much either.

  To understand all this, he could only wait until night and summon the Xian Beast again. Liu Yi Yang did not continue to ask questions.

  Does the soul of the Xian beast have spiritual intelligence? It is very important for a Xian device. If the soul of the Xian beast still has spiritual intelligence, then it is a living existence, which means you have a powerful Xian beast as an assistant. Not only can it help you fight against enemies, but also take you away at critical moments.

  If there is no spiritual wisdom, it's just a tool, and the oppression remains, but its power is greatly discounted.

  What is a magic weapon? They already know, but unfortunately, this understanding does not satisfy them, and instead makes them even more confused.

  In the afternoon, neither of them went out until dinner time. During this period, they were not idle either. Liu Yi Yang searched for a large amount of information online, while Ouyang Xuan kept making phone calls to see if she could get any news.

  She first looked for her grandfather Ouyang Ming.

  When he heard that his granddaughter and Liu Yi Yang had obtained a piece of sacred equipment, Ouyang Ming's first reaction was that he didn't dare to believe it. He had bought the sacred equipment at an auction, but it was only a quasi-sacred equipment, which hadn't been used for a long time, and was an unexpectedly passed down treasure.

  With modern technology being so advanced, there are many people keeping an eye on auctions, how could a divine artifact that is being used by someone be auctioned off?

  Upon learning that the artifact actually contained a high-grade immortal beast's soul, Ouyang Ming on the other end of the phone was also stunned. A high-grade immortal beast, something he would normally run away from at the sight of it, had its soul made into an artifact, and to make matters worse, it was only a low-grade artifact.

  This made him feel even more incredulous. If time had allowed it, he would have wanted Ou Yang Kun to return to Bin Hai immediately. He wanted to see the divine artifact for himself and find out what was going on.
