Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 419: A Frenzied Extortion Attempt Leads to the Discovery of the Dragon King's Soul Bone!
"Yun Ming, since you've chosen to settle this privately, let's have a proper talk about compensation."

As everyone took their seats, Mu Ye looked at Yun Ming and spoke calmly.

Mu Ye's words also brought Yun Ming back to his senses, and he immediately said, "Sect Master Mu, the secret of this body was left behind by the ancestors of Shrek Academy thousands of years ago. It is not something we deliberately left behind."

“That’s right,” Cai Yue’er agreed. “Moreover, the secret of the body was given to Ancestor Lingbing by your Body Sect’s ancestor. It’s already quite good that we’ve kept it safe for so many years without it getting damaged.”

Mu Ye's lips curled into a sneer, and he waved his hand, saying, "Yun Ming, stop spouting nonsense. If you want to preserve Shrek Academy's so-called glory, you'd better show some sincerity."

"Moreover, your Shrek Academy has been researching the secrets of our Body Sect's Body Form for nearly a thousand years, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, none of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion responded.

Whether it is true or not, they know best in their hearts.

"Tell me, Sect Master Mu, what do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Yun Ming spoke up.

He knew very well that Shrek Academy was bound to suffer a huge loss today, but only by satisfying the Body Sect could Shrek Academy take effective measures to salvage its reputation.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jie's eyes narrowed immediately, filled with eagerness. Finally, the compensation part, which he loved the most, had arrived!

“First, our Body Sect needs ten soul bones of the 100,000-year level,” Mu Ye said.

"How many?!"

As soon as he said that, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were in an uproar. They knew that a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was already a rare item in this era, and a hundred-thousand-year-old one was an unparalleled treasure.

Now that the Body Sect is asking for ten coins right away, how could they possibly give it!
Immediately, Long Yeyue said coldly, "Ten soul bones of the 100,000-year level? That's absolutely impossible!"

But Mu Ye ignored Long Yeyue and instead raised an eyebrow at Yun Ming, "Yun Ming, who is in charge of the Sea God Pavilion, you or Long Yeyue?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant; this wasn't the first time Long Yeyue had done something like this.

However, this was not the time to dwell on this, so Yun Ming had no choice but to suppress his anger for the time being and shook his head at Mu Ye, saying:
"Sect Master Mu, we really can't produce ten 100,000-year-level soul bones. After all, land-based soul beasts are almost extinct now, and our Shrek Academy doesn't have that many."

"Yun Ming, soul beasts are nearly extinct, but Shrek Academy has hunted quite a few hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the past two thousand years, right? Soul bones don't dissipate. You can't produce them?"

Mu Ye crossed his arms and said, "I remember that ten thousand years ago, when there were no soul spirits, your Sea God Pavilion Master had at least two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, and a hundred-thousand-year soul beast would definitely lose its soul bone."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming and the other members of the Sea God Pavilion had no words to refute it.

Because what Makino said is true.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, because he knew that there was a Sea God Pavilion Master who did not have two 100,000-year soul rings, and that was the Supreme Elder Xuanzi...

After Yun Ming secretly communicated with several elders of the Sea God Pavilion, he finally said slowly, "Ten pieces are impossible, but we can offer eight..."

"Deal!" Makino said without hesitation.

Eight soul bones of the 100,000-year level are already a great asset for the current Body Sect.

And his initial bottom line was five yuan, but he didn't expect Shrek Academy to not bargain.

"That's too much." Seeing Mu Ye agree so readily, Yun Ming's face darkened.

"Ahem, but we need to specify the attributes of these eight soul bones." Mu Ye added at the end.

"Okay." Yun Ming gritted his teeth and spat out the two words.

"Secondly, we need these rare metals on this list."

Seeing that Yun Ming agreed, Mu Ye took out a list taller than a person from his storage soul tool and placed it on the conference table in front of Yun Ming.

"Primordial Nether Silver... ten kilograms!"

"Earth Mother Flame Gold, thirty kilograms!"

"Dragon Blood Demon Gold, fifty kilograms!!!"

……

Looking at the rare metals on the label and the required weight, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion widened their eyes, and many even stood up.

You should know that these rare metals are things that are priceless and have no market. Even if they are available for sale, they are measured in grams. The Body Sect actually started by calculating in kilograms!

Do you really think this is a common cabbage?

Yun Ming frowned deeply, not only because of the weight, but also because these things were actually in Shrek Academy's treasury!
They're almost identical!
Could there be a mole within Shrek Academy?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Shrek Academy doesn't have that many!"

"Why do you, the Body Sect, not just rob us if you need so much?"

Several elders shouted angrily at Muye.

"Rob? Robbing isn't as fast as this," Mu Ye said without any hesitation.

This list was given to him by Jiang Xiu. Although he was also alarmed by it, he still took it out.

After all, it's about making money, so there's no shame in it.

At this moment, Yun Ming also spoke up: "Sect Master Mu, our Shrek Academy doesn't have that many. We can only give you a third of the amount at most."

Having learned from his previous experience, Yun Ming has become more skilled at bargaining.

"No, no, no, Yun Ming, I'm not discussing this with you, but informing you." Mu Ye shook his head slightly and continued:
"And as long as you produce these metals, I can guarantee that Shrek Academy will have a quota every three years to forge a four-word battle armor from the Blacksmith Association."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy elder, who had been indignant, immediately fell silent.

The rarity of the four-word battle armor is self-evident, and there is currently only one master craftsman on the entire continent.

If we could exchange a little metal for a four-word battle armor... it doesn't seem impossible... Mu Ye looked at the performance of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes. This was what his disciple Jiang Xiu had told him, and Zhen Hua's consent had already been obtained.

"Is this true?" Yun Ming pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to investigate.

You know, rare metals can be found again if you run out, but four-word battle armor is very hard to obtain.

“It’s true, but this condition can only be met in three years,” Makino nodded.

"Alright! It's a deal then!" Yun Ming had been thinking about how to get Zhen Hua to forge battle armor after offending the Body Sect, but now the problem was solved.

It seems that the Body Sect is not deliberately trying to sever ties with Shrek Academy.

The elders all agreed, proving that Shrek Academy's reputation was indeed still intact.

But Jiang Xiu's lips curled into a slight smile at that moment.

While that promise is true, Shrek Academy still needs to survive for three years...

And after returning this time, he began to prepare to enter the Federation as instructed by his master. This time, he would not give Shrek Academy the slightest chance to revive.

"Alright, let's do it according to the list!" Seeing the hopeful eyes of the elders, Yun Ming gritted his teeth and nodded.

After all, this concerns the future high-end combat power of Shrek Academy, and even if he doesn't agree, the elders won't be willing.

Next came the rare and precious materials that Muye had requested.

Because of the previous four-word battle armor, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion surprisingly did not object this time.

"You took the soul bone, the metal, and the rare and precious materials. Now there shouldn't be any left, right?"

After reluctantly agreeing to these conditions, Yun Ming suppressed his frustration and said calmly.

At this moment, Mu Ye glanced at Jiang Xiu, who nodded slightly and looked at Yun Ming, saying:

“Lord Yunming, we have one more condition: that the Sea God Pavilion return the Destruction Attribute Inheritance Soul Bone that was taken from the Sun and Moon Royal Family ten thousand years ago.”

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's eyes narrowed. Only the core elders within their Sea God Pavilion knew about this soul bone. How did Jiang Xiu find out?
"Jiang Xiu, don't be unreasonable. There's no such thing as a Soul Destruction Bone here," Long Yeyue said in a low voice.

She knew that Jiang Xiu's second martial soul was the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul. If she gave this soul bone to Jiang Xiu now, then Jiang Xiu's potential would likely be raised even higher!
“Sect Master Yunming, my second martial soul is the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. Within a certain distance, I can sense the existence of that soul bone.” At this moment, Jiang Xiu said again, with a hint of sarcasm.

With the previous secret technique of attracting the essence of the body as an example, Yun Ming subconsciously assumed that Jiang Xiu had sensed the existence of that soul bone.

After all, he didn't possess the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, nor did he understand the specific relationships involved.

However, what this soul bone contains is very likely related to the divine realm...

Thinking of this, Yun Ming frowned again.

But at this moment, Jiang Xiu slowly said, "As long as you, Pavilion Master Yunming, return this soul bone, then we can let bygones be bygones regarding the fact that these elders of Shrek Academy borrowed the secrets of the original body."

"Furthermore... we will not take back those self-created techniques that you have borrowed from the secrets of the body."

"Oh?" Yun Ming raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. If he didn't retract his gaze, it meant they could continue cultivating.

Therefore, using a soul bone that he couldn't comprehend to preserve these techniques seemed like a good deal.

The other elders also looked at Yun Ming with agreement, after all, they had all seen the secret of the true body to some extent.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu's lips curled up slightly. The reason he made this request was because the Dark Bell had already told him that Shrek Academy would soon explode.

When the time comes, these techniques and these elders will vanish into thin air, so he will naturally be willing to make this offer.

It's possible that the elders of the Sea God Pavilion won't lose money, but he'll definitely make a profit.

At this moment, Chen Xinjie glanced down at the communication soul tool, frowned, but then an excited look appeared on his face as he looked dangerously at the members of the Body Sect.

"You dared to attack the War God of the Federation's Temple of War, you won't escape this time..."

However, no one paid attention to him at the moment, and Yun Ming made up his mind at this time.

"In that case, we will return the soul bone that we have kept for the Sun and Moon Royal Family for ten thousand years to you."

As he spoke, Yun Ming took out a box of unknown material from his storage soul tool and slowly pushed it onto the table in front of Jiang Xiu.

A hint of excitement appeared in Jiang Xiu's eyes as he slowly opened the box with one hand.

"Clang clang clang!"

The moment the box was opened, an extremely terrifying aura of destruction surged out, instantly filling the entire room with a terrifying destructive power.

Inside the box, a crystal-clear, divine dragon claw lay quietly, its entire body covered in purple-gold dragon patterns, radiating an extremely terrifying aura of destruction, as if possessing endless nobility and tyranny.

"Yan!"

The moment Jiang Xiu saw it, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul within him emitted an incredibly loud dragon roar, his eyes filled with longing!
"That's right, this is the soul bone of the first generation Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon—the Radiant Dragon King—who was born at the same time as the Dragon God!"

Jiang Xiu felt invigorated.

But what he didn't realize was...

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu, whom he was holding, had her legs together, and her cold and beautiful phoenix eyes showed both shock and a hint of eagerness.

The Phoenix Martial Soul within her body actually created a slight connection with Jiang Xiu's Martial Soul, similar to a harmonious union!
