Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 53 The Opportunity!

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins? Why don't you just rob someone?!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Xu Sanshi, who had been somewhat hesitant, widened his eyes and spoke up.

Although a soul bone is extremely rare and priceless, Luo Chen actually quoted a price of 100,000 gold soul coins, which is enough to customize a batch of high-level soul tools!

However, Luo Chen didn't pay attention to Xu Sanshi's tone, and instead cheerfully said:

"What you said is right, senior. I'm practically robbing you. But senior, if you don't want to pay the 100,000 gold soul coins, then let's stick to the original agreement and honestly hand over a soul bone. I believe that shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Luo Chen didn't actually need that soul bone. After all, as he said before, he wouldn't bother fusing with a low-quality soul bone. He'd rather extort some gold soul coins, which would at least serve a purpose for him.

Moreover, in Luo Chen's view, neither the Xuan Shui Pill nor the Soul Bone in this bet were as important as getting in touch with Yan Shaozhe, because it meant that he had truly entered the sights of the academy's higher-ups, which would be more beneficial to him in the future.

Moreover, the "gift" that Yan Shaozhe gave was far more valuable than two Xuan Shui Pills or even a soul bone.

"Hey Xu, are you handing over a soul bone or gold soul coins? Get to the point! Don't think you can just walk away after all this trouble. I'm telling you, you're going to have to pay a hefty price today!"

Tang Ya also spoke without any politeness, showing no mercy to Xu Sanshi.

However, Xu Sanshi was quite tough, snorting coldly as he retorted:

"Hmph, getting a soul bone is impossible. I don't even have one myself, let alone any more for you. As for 100,000 gold soul coins, that's even more out of the question. Even if you sold me, you still couldn't scrape together that much!"

"Then tell me, senior, what should we do? You don't have a soul bone, you don't have any gold soul coins, how can you be so poor? And you call yourself the best defender in the outer academy?"

Seeing Xu Sanshi's shameless appearance, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel helpless. However, he knew that what Xu Sanshi said was true. Not to mention a soul bone, how many people in the entire outer courtyard could afford the 100,000 gold soul coins?

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Xu Sanshi's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he couldn't refute it; he really couldn't produce it!

"How about this? Although I don't have anything like soul bones, I do have some herbs and pills that I've treasured for a long time. Maybe they'll be useful to you?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Sanshi couldn't come up with a good solution, so he reluctantly took off the soul guide ring from his finger and handed it to Luo Chen in front of him.

"Hmm? Senior, it's not impossible for you to use herbs and pills to settle the debt, but are you sure these things are worth as much as a soul bone?"

Seeing that he had finally forced Xu Sanshi to bring out his most treasured possession, Luo Chen was secretly delighted, but his face still showed a suspicious look.

"Heh, don't worry, these herbs and pills are all top-notch. I dare say that even within Shrek Academy, there aren't many herbs of this quality, let alone on the continent. It's just that I don't need them, otherwise I wouldn't have given them to you!"

As Xu Sanshi spoke, he wore a forced smile, clearly indicating that these herbs were indeed very valuable; otherwise, he wouldn't have shown such an expression.

Luo Chen did not doubt his words. After all, as a descendant of the Xuanming Sect, he had the resources of the entire family to nurture him, so these herbs and pills were indeed no problem for him.

After receiving the soul guide ring from him as payment, Luo Chen began to examine the pills and herbs stored inside with his spiritual power. However, the next moment, Luo Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This is not because there is anything wrong with the quality of these herbs. How could the things in the hands of a successor who is nurtured with all the resources of an entire hidden sect be junk?

However, among the many fragrant herbs and pills, there was one pill that caused Luo Chen's martial spirit to react, which was the reason for Luo Chen's surprise.

No one knows better than him how outrageous the quality of his own martial soul is. Putting aside the terrifying cultivation talent bestowed upon him, even the special abilities that come with him are enough to be described as monstrous.

Even Luo Chen himself didn't know the origin of his Death Scythe Martial Soul, and could only explore it little by little.

However, among these rare herbs and pills, there is one that can make my martial soul react.

This is extremely rare!

Previously, Luo Chen had spent a long time in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, encountering many kinds of herbs and soul beasts, but none of them could cause his martial soul to react.

Even now, as Luo Chen is about to break through to the third-ring Soul Master level, he still doesn't know which category his Martial Soul belongs to.

When absorbing spirit rings, whether they are plant-based or beast-based spirit beasts, the martial soul never experiences any special sensations. Apart from having an innate desire for life force, there are no other biases.

But at this moment, there is actually such a pill that can cause Luo Chen's martial soul to react. Then there is no doubt that this is exactly what his own martial soul likes!

Moreover, Luo Chen discovered many interesting things among these herbs and pills.

"Xu Sanshi, you really have the nerve to say that? You think you can just fob us off with a few herbs and pills? Who do you think you're fooling?"

However, just as Tang Ya finished speaking, Luo Chen, who had finished examining the herbs and pills, stopped her. Then, under the watchful eyes of the others, he spoke to Xu Sanshi in front of him:

"Since Senior Xu is so sincere, I will accept these herbs and pills. Let's pretend that what happened before never happened. I hope this little incident will not affect our friendship as classmates."

"Hmph, you know your stuff!"

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Xu Sanshi also said something in annoyed. After speaking, he turned around and left. However, before leaving, he quickly took a grilled fish that he hadn't eaten yet from Tang Ya's hand, as if venting his anger.

Just as Tang Ya was about to lose her temper and try to chase after him, Luo Chen stopped her.

"Xiao Chen, why are you stopping me? That bastard dared to steal my grilled fish! I'll beat him to a pulp!"

"Hey, Sect Master, it's just a grilled fish. Let Yuhao grill another one. After all, we've made a fortune this time..."

As he spoke, Luo Chen's lips curled up involuntarily.

This trip was indeed very fruitful!
