Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 12: The power struggles between major forces are mostly limited to a few minor skirmishes.
In the magnificent hall of Jubaoge Pavilion, the expressions on the faces of several young girls were quite interesting.

Is this what they call finding a bargain? You buy it for 6,000 gold soul coins and can resell it for tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins – a profit of more than a hundred times!

This senior was handsome and tall, and every move he made exuded an air of "rustic simplicity." Only the readers were slightly better at him.

Moreover, he was extremely knowledgeable and had keen eyesight, even with just one link in the chain...

Hmm... the first ring road?
Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

The high-quality waiters at Jubao Pavilion, while possessing some knowledge, are not particularly skilled.

They didn't realize that Zhongli had "twin martial souls," and of course, Zhongli currently doesn't have a second martial soul.

Lin Huiqun looked bewildered and glanced at Zhong Li with some surprise.

Zhongli wasn't the first to come to Jubaoge to find bargains, but he was the first to have such a keen eye!
Although this piece of ancient whale glue had never passed through her hands, it was still appraised by someone in the pavilion, so the error rate was extremely low. Unexpectedly, even under these circumstances, she was still able to find a bargain.

Lin Huiqun sighed, cupped her hands in greeting to Zhongli, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that on your first visit to Jubaoge, you would find such a great bargain. Congratulations!"

While the elixir of the ancient whale is precious, it is not a priceless treasure. It is understandable that such a powerful person would find it so easily.

Lin Huiqun's congratulations were sincere and genuine.

Zhongli waved his hand and said modestly, "These are just my humble opinions, nothing worth mentioning."

"I wonder if Pavilion Master Lin intends to purchase this piece of whale glue?"

For some reason, Zhongli really dislikes sea creatures, especially those slimy things.

Back then, those creatures invaded Liyue. These creatures were very weak, but their numbers were enormous. Even with Zhongli personally taking action, it took a long time to deal with them.

From then on, whenever Zhongli saw seafood, she would feel a slight nausea. Although nothing serious happened, it was still disgusting!
If it weren't for needing some start-up capital, Zhong Li wouldn't have bothered reselling whale glue; he wouldn't even bother to look at it.

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian's eyes lit up.

The effects of whale glue are no secret in major sects. For a powerful figure like Zhongli, it's something that's neither enjoyable to consume nor worth discarding.

However, for low-level Soul Masters, whale glue is an invaluable treasure.

The Millennium Whale Glue can enhance physical strength, allowing Soul Masters to absorb the Millennium Soul Ring when they get their second Soul Ring.

Ten-thousand-year-old whale glue...

Of course, even knowing that whale sap has such miraculous effects, few people dare to go out to sea to hunt them. Both the evil killer whale and the deep-sea demon whale are extremely terrifying beings, especially in the ocean.

Thinking of this, Ning Tian glanced sideways at Wu Feng, who was staring blankly, and finally gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and spoke first.

“Senior Zhongli, ten-thousand-year-old whale glue is extremely rare. Even in the vast Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, whale glue of this age is considered a treasure.”

Yes, even within the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the quantity of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue is not large, at most only one or two pieces.

Even for a large sect like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, mobilizing such resources requires the consent of all elders. After all, these things are rare and hard to come by; even if you have the money, others might not sell them.

Although this piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue has weathered a lot, it is still much better than the thousand-year-old whale glue, which is just right for Wufeng.

After a pause, Ning Tian continued, "Wu Feng is a power-attack type battle spirit master. It's rare to find a treasure that can improve her physical attributes. I would appreciate it if Senior Zhongli could sell it to me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun frowned, glanced sideways at Ning Tian.

The aura of a Super Douluo vanished in a flash.

"Little girl, you're stealing business from Jubaoge!" Zhongli asked her if she wanted to recycle, but this little girl intercepted him halfway through. What kind of logic is that?
You must know, this is Shrek City, the Treasure Pavilion!

Ning Tian trembled and subconsciously said, "Elder Lin... I'm sorry, I... I..."

She didn't know she would offend Lin Huiqun because of this; if she had known, she wouldn't have spoken up.

As I said before, ten-thousand-year-old whale glue is extremely rare, a matter of chance, but it's not worth offending a Super Douluo or even Shrek Academy over it.

Upon seeing this, Lin Huiqun's expression returned to normal.

Ning Tian is, after all, the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Although she has not yet grown up, she is very likely to become the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future. It would not be good to offend her too much.

Considering the other party's young age, let's just let it go.

Besides, it's just a piece of ancient whale glue.

"Alright, alright, my Jubao Pavilion is just making a small profit, so I won't bid for this ten-thousand-year-old whale glue."

Lin Huiqun waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

If she were to offer to buy back this ancient whale glue, she would probably offer 600,000 or even 650,000, as a way of giving Zhongli face while allowing Jubaoge to make a small profit.

Of course, from a businessman's perspective, no matter how many gold soul coins are sold after the buyback, it will still result in a loss, so it's better to earn these six thousand gold soul coins.

Upon seeing this, Ning Tian quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Elder Lin, thank you, Elder Lin."

Seeing Ning Tian's appearance, Wu Feng, who was in a daze, felt a pang of heartache but dared not say anything.

Lin Huiqun is a Super Douluo. If she offends her, she'll likely suffer the consequences, even though her grandfather is also a Title Douluo.

Zhong Li remained silent, crossing his arms and looking at Ning Tian and Lin Huiqun with great interest.

Is this the power struggle between major forces?

By stopping short of making a move, one can get what one needs without losing face.

What Jubaoge wanted was nothing more than a high and mighty status and prestige, while Ning Tian wanted direct benefits, such as whale glue.

“Senior Zhongli, although this piece of whale glue is somewhat weathered, it is still a top-quality whale glue. I am willing to buy it at the market price.”

As he said this, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed across Ning Tian's face.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School may lack many things, but it certainly doesn't lack gold soul coins!

Ten thousand years ago, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was so wealthy that it could rival the wealth of a nation, and it remains so ten thousand years later!
"Market price?"

Even Lin Huiqun was slightly taken aback. The market price of a piece of Millennium Whale Glue is about fifty to sixty thousand gold soul coins.

The Millennium Whale Glue is more effective and rarer, and selling it for a million Gold Soul Coins is no problem.

The problem is that this piece of whale glue has been weathered, so its value will naturally be reduced.

Are the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School just a bunch of fools with too much money?
"Such a large piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue is probably worth a million gold soul coins at auction, so I'll buy it according to this specification."

"One million gold soul coins?"

Paimon gasped in surprise. She knew the purchasing power of gold soul coins; this Miss Ning Tian had just spent a million gold soul coins.
For the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, anything that can be solved with Gold Soul Coins is no big deal!
“Yes, Paimon, this piece of whale glue is indeed worth a million gold soul coins. If it hadn’t weathered, it could have been auctioned for 1.2 million gold soul coins.”
