Chat Group: People in Douluo Continent wreak havoc across the heavens

Chapter 69 The Dugu Family's Super Creditor [Seeking votes and continued reading]

Lu Xian knew Dugu Bo's personality all too well.

You can just ignore those kinds of words.

He said with a half-smile, "It's a lie that you're afraid I can't leave this place; what you really care about is the remaining soul bone in my body!"

Dugu Bo's thoughts were exposed, and his old face flushed a little. However, he was a pretty straightforward person. He either took it directly or asked for it directly. He didn't like to do anything else.

"Boy, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. I know you still have this soul bone. Name your terms, as long as I can do it!"

Straightforward and to my liking!

Lu Xian nodded. He was also looking for someone to dispose of the trash, and Dugu Bo was a great candidate. "Since you've been so direct, I'll be frank with you. You're a Title Douluo, you must be quite wealthy, right?"

"What? Money?"

Dugu Bo thought he hadn't heard clearly. Did this kid want to sell the soul bone for money?

What outrageous wasteful behavior!

"Gold Soul Coins!" Lu Xian emphasized.

"Yes!" This time, Dugu Bo didn't hesitate at all, trying his best to keep a straight face, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter.

So confident? Looks like he's been sucked up!

We should take advantage of him. If we can get him to do something for us, that would be even better. He's a Title Douluo gatekeeper, isn't he?

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Xian's lips curled into a slight smile: "That makes things easier. I'll sell you a soul bone for ten million gold soul coins. I have five more on me; the ten-thousand-year soul bone is just the lowest grade among them. I also have some that are over fifty thousand years old. Just pay up, and I'll sell them all to you at the same price. That'll be fifty million gold soul coins in total!"

"How many?"

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened instantly, and his voice became sharp and distorted.

Damn it, I knew you messed with Tang Hao and had a lot of soul bones, but I didn't expect you to have this many more.

But seriously, even robbery isn't done like this, kid.

Although soul bones are priceless and cannot be measured by money, they are not worth that much!

Lu Xian raised an eyebrow. "Can't afford five yuan? One yuan will do."

"A ten-thousand-year soul bone is worth ten million, or five million. As for the remaining five million, I'll take a loss and offer your mansion as collateral. As a retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire, your mansion should be quite nice. I happen to have nowhere to stay, so I'll offer you your mansion as collateral for five million."

Dugu Bo: ...

Damn it, does this kid have no concept of gold soul coins?

Fifty million or ten million at a time? Let alone Dugu Bo, even the Heaven Dou Royal Family or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't come up with that much money all at once!

"Ten million for a soul bone? That's really not good. The price is too inflated. Only a soul bone that's over fifty thousand years old would be worth that much!"

Dugu Bo shook his head. "Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't spend ten million gold soul coins to buy an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bone. You can ask around later if you don't believe me..."

Lu Xian deliberately hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "Then you name your price. If I don't think it's suitable, I'll go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi should be quite willing to offer a good price to acquire it..."

"Don't!"

Dugu Bozhen was completely under his control. There was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat him in a fight, and he wanted the soul bone...

"I won't lie to you, the market price of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bone is probably over two million. Of course, this is under the premise of unscrupulous merchants driving down the price and there being no market for it. The actual auction price will definitely be more than two million, possibly three million, or even four or five million."

"I am willing to offer one million gold soul coins..."

Lu Xian turned and left without hesitation. You yourself said that it could be auctioned for at least three million, but you still offered one million. Who's going to sell it to you?

If this amount of money could buy a ten-thousand-year soul bone, wouldn't every high-ranking member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have a complete set?

"Wait a minute, kid, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Dugu Bo caught up in a few steps, took out a land deed from his storage soul tool, and said with a pained expression, "This is the land deed for my Dugu family mansion. It was originally the residence of Prince Xuexing. The selling price might only be around a million gold soul coins, but its actual value is immeasurable. You can't buy it even if you have money. Moreover, the location is excellent. I'll buy your ten-thousand-year soul bone for one million gold soul coins plus this land deed!"

This is truly a waste of all his savings. It seems that Dugu Bo isn't as wealthy as he thought. It's a disgrace to the titled Douluo.

Lu Xian stopped, took the land deed, glanced at it, and softened his tone slightly: "Seeing that you're quite old and very sincere, let's go take a look at your mansion first. If it's not grand enough, this deal can't be done."

"That's natural..."

The two left the valley and headed towards Tiandou City together.

"Hey kid, could you hold off on selling your remaining four soul bones for now...?"

"?" Lu Xian gave him a look that said, "You tell me, I'm listening."

Dugu Bo's old face showed some unease, but he still swallowed his pride and said, "Give me some time, and I'll definitely be able to slowly raise the money for you. A slightly higher price is fine too; consider it interest for the time I spend raising the money!"

With his strength as a Title Douluo, it wouldn't be difficult for him to acquire gold soul coins. He has plenty of ways to do so. He can slowly accumulate enough money over ten years. Money is just a number in his eyes.

But obtaining a soul bone is truly difficult; once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever. If Lu Xian sells the soul bone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he'll be left with nothing but regret.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Xian said, "Seeing that you're getting on in years, I doubt you'd know how to make money, and stealing, robbing, or borrowing wouldn't be appropriate. How about this, you'll temporarily work as my bodyguard. I'll give you a ten-thousand-year soul bone as payment each year, and I'll allow you to continue living in the Dugu Manor—no, it should be called the Lu Manor now!"

Dugu Bo: ...

Do you want to agree?

I'm a titled Douluo, and I'm supposed to be your bodyguard? Do you think I'm some kind of pet dog?

……

[Xiao Yan: Brother Lu, my teacher said he's never seen the eight-petaled immortal orchid you sent me, but he can definitely refine it into pills. Using it as the main ingredient with other auxiliary ingredients, with his alchemy skills, making a pill shouldn't be a problem.]

[Xiao Yan: But he can't guarantee that consuming the entire batch of pills he refines will be more effective than directly taking this spiritual herb. Furthermore, there's a high chance that repeated use of the pills will lead to drug resistance. If there's only one of these spiritual herbs, he doesn't recommend trying to refine pills there, to avoid wasting them.]

[Lu Xian: Alright, since that's the case, you can keep the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid for yourself. Its medicinal properties are mild, suitable for your breakthrough to Dou Qi. It should be no problem for you to break through to Dou Zhe, and maybe even advance several stars in a row.]

[Xiao Yan: Thank you for your gift, Godfather!]

Afterwards, Lu Xian sent the Phoenix Sunflower with the Cockscomb to Fire Fairy, saying that this immortal plant was very suitable for her, and told Xiao Yan and Fire Fairy how to take the immortal plant.

[Ye Fan: Brother Lu, this isn't fair! Why didn't I get a share?]

[Lu Xian: Those two are weak, so this kind of spiritual medicine is perfect for cleansing their marrow and replenishing their essence. It won't be of much help to you and Naiqi. We'll see later. I'll send you more if I have any left.]

[Ye Fan: So it turns out the spiritual herbs of your world aren't good enough for me. Looks like I'm quite the expert now!]

nerve!

Thank you, Brother DK, for the 5000 Qidian Coins reward.
