Douluo: The villain system, intercepting Tianmeng Ice Silkworm

Chapter 82 Negotiation
Two ninth-level soul masters?
Hearing Poseidon's request, Jing Hongchen's eyelids jumped. He suppressed his anger and said, "Ninth level? I want two more! Do you think ninth level soul guides are easy to come by?!"
The most I can give you is an eighth-level soul guide!"

Hearing this, Poseidon blinked and said innocently, "Master, although I can't use this Dragon Rock Crystal, I know its price. Since two pieces won't do, how about one, plus two eighth-level soul guides, and three hundred kilograms of gold crystal?"

"You!" Jing Hongchen's face darkened. What's the difference between this and two ninth-level soul guides?

"Anyway, a ninth-level soul guide is essential." Poseidon said with an indifferent expression.

Resisting the urge to slap Poseidon away, Jing Hongchen said coldly, "Each ninth-level soul guide is a strategic asset to the Sun-Moon Empire. How can I just give it to you casually?"

Poseidon blinked and said seriously, "That's not right, Hall Master. Back when we were in the Sea God Pavilion, you gave my teacher a ninth-level soul guide, and it was only for admission."

As he spoke, Poseidon took out the Red Dust Blessing and waved it in front of Jing Hongchen.

The blue veins on Jing Hongchen's forehead were throbbing non-stop.

This kid is really talking about things that are not relevant. What was the situation back then? If I didn’t give it to him, he might not be able to come back alive!
But he was choked by Poseidon's words and couldn't answer. His face, which was originally slightly red, suddenly turned blue.

He slammed the table and growled, "Two level eight soul guides at most, no more!"

Poseidon looked calm and said with a smile, "Master, how about this, we each take a step back and have one level nine and one level eight?"

After hearing what Poseidon said, Jing Hongchen just looked up and glanced at him, his tone slightly softened.

"Okay, then one level nine and one level eight." The reason why he agreed to Poseidon's request was because he really needed the Dragon Rock Crystal.

After all, Mingdetang has been secretly researching humanoid soul guides.

Now the only thing missing is the last core magic circle, which will serve as the energy source.

But this soul guide device is very important and has also consumed a lot of resources of Mingdetang. It can be said that this is a mecha completely assembled from ninth-level soul guide devices!
The most critical step cannot be taken lightly.

Poseidon also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why Jing Hongchen was so obsessed with Longyan Crystal, if he refused again, Poseidon would probably give up on getting the ninth-level soul guide.

Then Jing Hongchen took out a fan and a spear.

The fan is purple all over, with dense but regular golden lines on it.

The whole thing is very light and thin, and when unfolded, the edge of the fan blade is as sharp as a blade.

"This ninth-level soul guide is called the Purple Spirit Fan. It can be used for both offense and defense. It's very light, but has great explosive power, making it suitable for agile attack-type soul masters.

At the same time, after injecting soul power, you can wield it to create a purple tornado. As for the others, you can study them on your own." Jing Hongchen said lightly.

The other spear was completely red in color. From the outside, it looked rather ordinary, the kind that would not stand out among a bunch of soul guides.

But it is indeed an eighth-level soul guide.

After the exchange was completed, Jing Hongchen did not leave immediately. Instead, he coughed lightly and said, "One more thing. Can you sell me your soul guide storage system technology?"

However, unexpectedly, Poseidon rejected it outright.

"Master, forget about the soul guide storage system. I will never sell it to you." Whether it was Mingde Hall or Shrek, he would not hand it over to them. He had to hold it in his own hands.

"Young man, don't speak so early." Jing Hongchen smiled confidently, and three soul guides appeared in his hands.

Each soul guide was gleaming with light. Clearly, the three soul guides had all reached level nine!

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen on the side were stunned. If they could understand why Jing Hongchen used a ninth-level soul guide and an eighth-level soul guide to exchange for Longyan Crystal before, then they really couldn't understand why he used three ninth-level soul guides to exchange for a technology this time.

But it’s not their fault. After all, they have little experience. Only Jing Hongchen knows how important the soul guide storage system is.

Once in their hands, they can quickly assemble an army of a million or more.

And everyone can be equipped with a soul guide.

By then, even conquering the entire continent would be a piece of cake.

Poseidon looked at Jing Hongchen, then at the three soul guides, and shook his head. He said seriously, "Master, you should know where I come from. To be frank, Shrek and Mingde Hall are not friends. Even if they are now, that doesn't mean they will be in the future."

After hearing his words, Jing Hongchen looked at Poseidon deeply.

"That's such a pity. Since you don't want to sell it, I naturally won't force you." After saying this, Jing Hongchen turned and left.

After walking out of the laboratory, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he felt a little sarcastic in his heart.

"Hmph, even if you don't sell it to me, so what? Since you chose to expose it to the public, I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants it. I'm sure those people will also make a move."

As Jing Hongchen thought, the big figures behind the three major forces in the underground world also noticed Poseidon.

This also includes the Holy Spirit Church.

After all, the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, Ye Xishui, is also a talented soul guide, so he is naturally very interested in the soul guide storage system.

……

Time flies. Four months have passed since the competition, and Poseidon has also started to make a third-level soul guide.

Looking at the third-level long-range soul guide cannon in Poseidon's hand, Jing Hongchen was secretly shocked.

Three months ago, he was only a second-level soul engineer, but now, after three months, he has been promoted to the third level. I am afraid that within a few months, he will reach the fourth level. It is really terrifying.

If Poseidon knew what Jing Hongchen was thinking, he would probably laugh at him in his heart.

Do you know what cheating is?

If I can't beat you guys even with cheats, then wouldn't it be a waste of time?
It is worth mentioning that Gu Yuena also reached the level of a first-level soul engineer a month ago.

Jing Hongchen also said that Gu Yuena has good talent and can be called a genius in Mingde Hall.

Meng Hongchen stretched, revealing her beautiful figure. She excitedly pulled Poseidon's shoulders and said with a grin, "Then let's go test the power of your soul guide, right?"

When Xiao Hongchen, who was standing by, saw this scene, he opened his mouth wide. He really couldn't imagine how his sister had been treated like this.

Jing Hongchen was also a little speechless, and said unhappily: "Alright, Meng, pay attention to your image. Don't rush to test the soul guide. It's getting late now. You can go tomorrow."
