Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 203 Redeeming the Snow Empress?

After a long time, they began to tentatively quote prices. Generally, the price of such functional soul tools is far higher than that of soul-guided cannons and melee soul tools.

Because in Douluo Continent, especially in Douluo Three Kingdoms, soul tools are only used for war, and naturally there are far fewer soul masters who are willing and skilled at making such soul tools.

Of course, these types of soul tools are generally much more difficult to manufacture.

"Twenty million gold soul coins?"

This was the first price Xu Jiujiu had offered.

She used similar-quality baby bottles as a reference, but she didn't know if the price would satisfy the other party.

Her reserve price is 35 million.

Although it seems a bit wasteful, she is a princess and she is happy to do so. Xu Yang did not react, and after a long while, she thought to herself that things were going badly.

"Twenty million —"

"It seems that this princess is truly interested in this item."

Besides, this was something he had specifically used to practice when he was making the Midnight Atagina for Zhang Lexuan.

However, they received an unexpected windfall.

Before he could even agree, Xu Jiujiu impatiently added another price.

"Twenty-five million."

"And I will pay in cash." Xu Jiujiu said, taking out three cards from his storage soul tool.

The two platinum and one crimson cards represent ten million and five million gold soul coins respectively.

These are cards issued by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and used throughout the entire continent to represent large amounts of Gold Soul Coins.

With this card, you can withdraw an equivalent amount of cash at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ziguang stared intently at Xu Yang's expression for a long time. If he still didn't agree, she would simply ask for more money. She refused to believe that there was nothing in this world she couldn't buy.

"Twenty-five million—"

Xu Yang couldn't help but sigh; it seemed this princess was a lay Buddhist who only paid extra.

If there were a list of the richest women in Douluo Continent, she would probably be in the top ten.

"Can."

Xu Yang's voice was soft, but it resonated deep within Xu Jiujiu's heart, bringing her a sense of relief. Saving ten million gold soul coins was something to be happy about.

"Isn't this person actually quite nice?"

She murmured to herself for a long time, and at the same time, her goodwill towards Xu Yang grew even stronger. She secretly resolved that if she were to do business with him in the future, she wouldn't mind giving him even a few more percentage points in profit.

And because she had obtained Xingyuan, she was in a very good mood at this moment.

She probably didn't even realize that her wariness of Xu Yang had silently diminished considerably.

So she took the initiative to speak.

"What is your true purpose in coming here?"

After a long while, he finally asked the question that Xu Yang most wanted to hear.

"I thought Your Highness would wait until I took the initiative to speak up."

"Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore."

"I heard that your bank recently acquired a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. I am somewhat interested in that thing. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to part with it?"

Xu Yang took out a black and gold card from his storage soul tool, which was the same type as the two cards that Xu Jiujiu had taken out earlier.

However, this one represents an even larger amount, the largest single denomination on the entire continent, one hundred million gold soul coins, equivalent to several years' worth of tax revenue in some impoverished provinces of the Star Luo Empire.

At the same time, it pushed in the direction of Xu Jiujiu.

It was to prove to them that I had sufficient ability.

One hundred million gold soul coins in cash is something that 99% of the forces on the continent cannot produce.

Xu Jiujiu wasn't surprised that Xu Yang knew the news; secrets don't stay hidden forever. She just hadn't expected the other party to choose to conduct the transaction privately.

Similarly, she was also struggling with whether or not to sell the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo to the other party.

Xu Jiawei originally planned to use a strategy of "using one tiger to devour another," hoping that the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy would buy it at the top-level auction a few days later.

This would put the other party in a precarious position, while Xu Jiawei himself could sit back and reap the benefits.

But now this tiger is nowhere to be found. The tiger that Xu Jiawei originally planned for was the Body Sect.

For some reason, they've put away their fangs in recent years, and even the behavior of their disciples has improved considerably. Sometimes, we can even hear about them doing good deeds, like eliminating evil spirit masters.

Xu Jiawei couldn't rely on Shrek Academy either.

Therefore, this plan had to be abandoned before it even began. Xu Jiawei could only hope to sell two more gold soul coins, and if possible, exchange them for two more level-nine soul tools.

Xu Jiawei had heard that five years ago, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had sent a level nine soul master to secretly protect them.

So this time will probably be the same.

Level 9 Soul Masters possess many treasures; acquiring even one of them would be a significant gain for them.

After a long silence, none of the five people in the room spoke.

The atmosphere became strangely tense.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"This matter is of great importance. Please allow me and my brother to discuss it carefully."

It took a long time for him to finally speak up.

This is actually quite normal.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo is a sale no matter who it's sold to. Even if it's sold to the people of the Sun Moon Empire, there's no question of it aiding the enemy.

Whether her Star Luo Empire survives or perishes is not something that can be controlled by a 100,000-year-old soul bone or a 100,000-year-old soul ring.

Even if the other party obtains a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, how could they possibly become a Limit Douluo within ten years? Ten years—this is a timeframe that both Xu Jiujiu and his elder brother have tacitly agreed upon.

At the latest, within ten years, the Sun and Moon Empire will surely launch a war of aggression.

This was also their last moment.

However, Xu Jiawei actually preferred the high-level soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire to gold soul coins.

Especially five years ago, Kong Deming's intervention made both siblings realize the importance of soul tools.

However, this is not like soul power. With sufficient talent, one can catch up or even surpass it by simply cultivating.

Therefore, they pinned their hopes on the fact that the Soul Masters they trained could disassemble and replicate the advanced Soul Tools of the Sun Moon Empire and learn their secrets.

We don't seek to overtake on a curve; we only hope to further narrow the gap between us. Even if things don't go perfectly, a level nine soul tool would be a significant boost for a Title Douluo.

Giving it to the worshippers in the ancestral hall would be considered a worthwhile investment.

They just don't believe that if you can't learn how to make it, how could you not understand how to use it?

After a long time, he took out a stone.

It seems to be a device specifically for contacting her elder brother. Before Xu Yang developed his soul-guided communication technology, there were ways for soul masters to communicate in real time.

However, the cost is relatively high, and the communication distance is difficult to be too far, and the methods are also different.

Normally, only the two parties can communicate with each other.
