Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

There is no problem with Chapter 205.

"Although he was indeed asking for a lot, everything is negotiable—"

Asking for an exorbitant price, but settling for a lower price on the spot.

"That's the essence of doing business."

Xu Jiawei's expression remained unchanged; he simply instructed Manyi to take Xu Jiujiu to retrieve the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

Children should not interrupt adults.

Although Xu Jiujiu had come of age a year ago, in Xu Jiawei's eyes, she was still the eighteen-year-old Princess Xingluo.

Only Xu Yang and Xu Jiawei remained to continue arguing.

Xu Jiawei would never believe Xu Yang's nonsense about only having 125 million gold soul coins.

He knew better than anyone how rich these Soul Masters were, after all, he had just killed one not long ago and made a fortune.

Of course, this was something that remained unknown for a long time.

If Xu Yang hadn't had a special status, he would have already sent Manyi and Xu Jiujiu away, then taken a group of retainers with him and left them here.

After much haggling, Xu Yang and Xu Jiawei finally settled on a price of 150 million.

Even so, Xu Jiawei still hoped that Xu Yang would pay with a soul tool, and said that he could increase the discount to 70%.

But when Xu Yang slowly took out one platinum-colored gold soul coin card after another from his storage soul tool, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Is this guy crazy? Who would carry so much cash with them when they go out?"

"Even when buying something, shouldn't the price be agreed upon first before starting to mobilize the funds?"

A cash flow of 100 million is enough to do a lot of things.

In fact, all of this is thanks to the booming sales of artificial spirit rings in the market in recent years.

In the past five years, Destiny has produced so many artificial soul rings, it's impossible for them to just sit there and let them get moldy.

In the Sun Moon Empire, with the government as its authority, artificial spirit rings have always been regarded as unclaimed spirit rings killed by the Soul Hunting Squad using spirit tools.

In particular, to avoid arousing suspicion, the Sea Spirit Beasts that Destiny sold actually had the most spirit rings.

Furthermore, even within the Heavenly Mandate, only the few titled Douluo at the top—that is, the enshrined members of the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship—knew the true research objectives of the Heavenly Mandate.

Those middle and lower-level employees have always regarded Tianming as a newly established institution of the Sun Moon Empire, similar in nature to Mingde Hall, mainly researching soul beasts.

Because before this, the Sun Moon Empire had conducted similar research on soul tools.

Not only in the Sun Moon Empire, but artificial spirit rings are actually selling even better in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

It is vaguely expected to become the Sun Moon Empire's third largest export commodity after soul tools and rare metals.

Because Di Tian has spent a lot of time studying and enriching himself over the past few years, he has also reorganized the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, making it much more difficult for people from the Douluo Three Kingdoms, especially Shrek Academy, to enter the Star Dou Great Forest and obtain soul rings.

The people of Douluo Three Kingdoms have now concluded that even when hunting for a hundred-year soul ring, it is best to have a Soul King leading the team.

Furthermore, people in the Douluo Three Kingdoms generally have higher requirements for the quality of spirit rings, unlike the Sun Moon Empire, which only regards them as tools to break through bottlenecks.

Therefore, due to a combination of factors, artificial spirit rings may even sell better in Douluo Three Kingdoms.

As for the income, Xu Yang naturally continued to invest it in subsequent research.

Over the past five years, Tianming has not only turned a profit, but has also accumulated wealth in secret that surpasses that of many other powers.

Meng Hongchen had offered to give Xu Yang his share, but since he didn't usually need the gold soul coins, this little treasury had always been kept by Meng Hongchen.

He spent 200 million gold soul coins just before this trip to buy the Snow Emperor's embryo.

But undeniably, this was a deal in which both sides felt they had made a great profit.

For Xu Jiawei, this was a risk-free and highly profitable deal. He gained over 100 million yuan in cash for no reason, while also getting rid of a hot potato.

For Xu Yang, acquiring an extreme ice-attribute Limit Douluo experimental material for 150 million gold soul coins was a stroke of luck that no amount of luck could ever achieve.

"That's a great deal!"

Xu Yang and Xu Jiawei both sighed silently in their hearts.

While the two were arguing, Xu Jiujiu and Manyi also arrived with the Snow Emperor's embryo.

Even across the Conferred God Platform, the people present could feel the bone-chilling cold.

In particular, Di Tian had discovered the true origin of the embryo long ago when he first appeared.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand why this so-called embryo was actually the Snow Emperor, the ruler of the far north.

Xu Yang took the Snow Emperor embryo.

The Snow Emperor embryo is ice blue in color and has snowflake patterns on it. It is about the size of an ostrich egg.

However—this egg contains the most powerful ice elemental spirit in the entire Douluo Continent.

"There's nothing wrong with the cards!"

Xu Yang quickly stuffed the Snow Empress embryo into the storage soul tool, and nodded in satisfaction.

"The money and goods are settled. We'll meet again someday."

He then opened a spatial passage and stepped inside.

Di Tian and Ye Yulin followed closely behind, leaving behind only silence and a projection of the two who didn't know what to say.

"Brother, tell me—was this a soul tool or a soul skill?"

"I don't know, Nebula Douluo, what do you think?"

Xu Jiawei asked Xiang Manyi.

"I don't know either."

"But I heard from the senior physician that even a Limit Douluo would find it difficult to control space at will."

Man Yi shook her head, expressing her surprise at Xu Yang's move.

Xu Jiawei suddenly felt that he hadn't really made that much money, and that he seemed to have made a wrong decision.

Meanwhile, after returning to the Star Emperor Hotel, Di Tian immediately used his soul power to seal off the room. Ye Yulin, still worried, specially set up a device that could block mental detection.

Seeing the two of them like this, Jing Hongchen realized that it seemed that the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo that Xu Yang had bought was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Is there something wrong with that embryo?"

Jing Hongchen asked cautiously.

Of everyone present, besides Xu Yang, he was the only junior.

If we're talking about rank within Destiny, he'd actually be the lowest-ranking one present.

There was nothing he could do. Even though he was the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the head of the Mingde Hall, when those old folks kept calling him "Little Mirror," he could only put on a smile and obediently respond.

"Master Hongchen, don't be too nervous."

"The embryo is fine, even better than expected."

"The reason for doing this is simply to prevent those with ulterior motives from spying on us."
