Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 92 Equivalent Exchange

Although Elder Lin didn't know where Ye Qing got the money or why he wanted to buy the Eternal Radiance Star, a soul bone that had nothing to do with him, he naturally had no reason to refuse since Ye Qing had already chosen to make the deal.

Moreover, she was also very interested to see what explanation Ye Qing would come up with for purchasing the soul bone.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold the soul bone to him at a 60% discount. Who would try to fleece their own family? Jubao Pavilion is an academy's property, and it's absolutely impossible for Ye Qing to buy it at a low price and then resell it at a high price.

That's not how the privileges granted to him by Jubao Pavilion's red card are used.

Soon after, Old Lin arrived at the private room where Ye Qing was, knocked on the door, and went inside.

Upon seeing Lin Huiqun enter, Ye Qing stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Elder Lin, I never expected that you would come in person for this transaction."

Having cultivated near the Sea God Pavilion for so long, Ye Qing knew most of the elders of Shrek Academy, including Lin Huiqun in front of him.

"Since you've set your sights on one of the most prized treasures in my Treasure Pavilion, as the Pavilion Master, of course I have to come and take a look." Lin Huiqun smiled slightly and sat down opposite Ye Qing. "Alright, little guy, tell me why you want to buy it. I remember you're a light attribute user and you've already absorbed the right arm bone."

She gave Ye Qing a deep look and said bluntly, "The privileges of the red card level are decided by the academy. These privileges can only be used on yourself. Don't expect to buy them from me at a low price and then resell them at a high price."

"If you don't come up with a convincing reason, then you'll have to buy it at the original price."

Ye Qing sat back down on the sofa and smiled slightly at Lin Huiqun: "Elder Lin, you are powerful and knowledgeable. You should know about the secret technique of soul bone fusion, right? It involves using a secret technique soul bone to fuse two soul bones with similar characteristics into a brand new and powerful soul bone."

"The Star attribute, in the end, is just a branch of the Light attribute, only with added characteristics. I want to use it as a fusion material to make my right arm bone even stronger."

This was a reason he had already come up with. Last year, the golden left arm bone was obviously taken out by Elder Lin as a reward for him winning the freshman assessment.

He had already used that soul bone as a high-level fusion material.

It's perfectly reasonable for me to use this excuse again now.

"Soul-bone fusion? Such a risky secret technique, you're too daring!" Lin Huiqun frowned.

"Is it daring? I think it's just a necessary sacrifice. After all, the risks and benefits are equal." Ye Qing raised his right hand, and intense light elemental soul power gathered on his right arm, with powerful soul power fluctuations gradually spreading.

"My original right arm bone was a 70,000-year-old Light-Slaying Demon given to me by my teacher. However, thanks to Elder Lin's gift last year, I obtained that piece of golden light, and now my Light-Slaying Demon has become an 80,000-year-old soul bone."

"And even more changes have occurred." After saying that, Ye Qing clenched his right fist, then suddenly opened it. The light element soul power gathered in his palm was instantly compressed into a rapidly spinning wheel of light.

Then he took out a fine iron dagger from his soul tool and used the tip of the light wheel needle in his hand to cut the blade of the dagger.

Without encountering any obstacles, the light wheel sliced ​​the dagger in half as easily as cutting tofu.

But Lin Huiqun's smile gradually faded, replaced by a look of heartache: "You spendthrift! The Golden Radiance is a top-tier dragon soul bone. You can't find many soul bones with such pure dragon blood in the entire Douluo Continent, and you actually used it for soul bone fusion!"

"It's fortunate you succeeded. Do you know how much you would have lost if you had failed?"

One wrong move and tens of millions of gold soul coins would be wasted! What's more, those are rare items that money can't buy!

"Ahem, I've always had pretty good luck." Ye Qing dispelled the light halo in his hand and then asked, "So, Elder Lin, can you sell me that Eternal Radiance Star now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun was still a little hesitant, but Ye Qing's statement did convince her. As long as it wasn't resold, she didn't care what Ye Qing used it for after buying it.

"Alright, since you want to buy it, I'll sell it to you."

In the end, Lin Hui-qun finally gave in.

Ye Qing smiled slightly: "Elder Lin, don't be upset. After all, I didn't say I would use gold soul coins to buy it. Money is just a string of numbers. True equivalent exchange is to exchange something of similar value. Since I have taken this soul bone, I will naturally exchange it for something of equal value."

"Oh? Barter?" Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Lin Huiqun became more interested. "I'd like to see what you'll offer in exchange."

Under Lin Huiqun's watchful gaze, Ye Qing took out a piece of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold from his soul tool and placed it in front of her.

The strange, deep purple metal seemed to have electric arcs flowing inside. Lin Huiqun's expression turned serious at just one glance.

"Elemental Magnetic Thunder Gold?!"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

As the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, she must have extensive knowledge of treasures, including rare metals. She couldn't wait to take it in her hand, and after examining it carefully for a while, she exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, it's Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold, a rare ninth-order thunder attribute metal." Ye Qing smiled and continued to take out the Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold. He took out all twenty-five kilograms of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold that he had separately obtained. In terms of value, it was enough to exchange for the Eternal Radiance Star's right arm bone at the original price.

"So many..." Lin Huiqun was dumbfounded. As a top-grade rare metal, Shrek Academy naturally had a stockpile of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold, but it was only a small piece, weighing less than three kilograms.

If Ye Qing's fourth spirit ring hadn't been the Thunderous Hell Vine, he wouldn't have had anywhere to find something so precious.

"How about it, Elder Lin? The market price for one gram of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold is five hundred gold soul coins, but that's just the listed price. The actual price will be higher. There are nearly twenty-five kilograms of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold here. That should be enough to exchange for that piece of Eternal Radiance Star Soul Bone, right?" Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Twenty-five kilograms of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold, if placed in an auction house, would not be surprising even if it sold for a high price of twenty million. I am taking the risk of fusing the soul bone myself, so naturally I will not let the academy pay for it."

Lin Huiqun took a deep breath and nodded gently, saying, "Since you've made up your mind, then I agree to this deal. The Eternal Radiance Star Soul Bone is yours from today onwards!"

After speaking, Lin Huiqun put away the Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold on the table.

"Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. Since you intend to fuse with a soul bone, I'll give you another ten-thousand-year-old secret technique soul bone!"
