Suotuo City truly deserved its status as one of the Balak Kingdom's two most important cities.

Walking along the streets, they saw crowds of people hurrying back and forth everywhere.

Various kinds of shops lined both sides of the road, their dazzling array of goods enough to make one's head spin.

A scene like this was practically paradise in every girl's dreams.

In no time at all, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's enthusiasm had been thoroughly sparked.

Wherever it was lively, they headed straight there.

They went into every shop they came across to browse around.

Shops selling all kinds of clothing were especially the two girls' preferred targets.

Ye Feng followed behind them, watching the two youthful, charming girls chatter away as they picked out goods. His mood improved along with theirs.

Born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong were never short on money. Ning Rongrong in particular bought anything she took a liking to. Before long, she had spent a considerable sum.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, did not buy much.

She simply had no money. Even the Gold Soul Coins she received from Spirit Hall each month were being kept by Tang San.

Whenever Xiao Wu saw something she liked, the generous Ning Rongrong paid for it.

Friendship between girls was just that strange. They had merely gone shopping together, yet Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were already as close as friends who had known each other for years.

"Hey! Brother Feng, look at that shop. It seems to sell Soul Tool items!" Just as Ye Feng was starting to feel a little bored, Ning Rongrong's delighted voice brought him back to his senses.

Following the direction of Ning Rongrong's finger, he saw a peculiar sign hanging over a shop not far away.

The sign bore a design very similar to the emblem on a Spirit Hall token.

The design depicted a sword, a hammer, and a dragon.

Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong were both very familiar with the sword's appearance. It was none other than Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword.

"Come on, let's go take a look and see if we can find anything good." The moment Ye Feng saw the shop, his eyes lit up and his interest was immediately piqued.

He remembered that there was something good in this place.

"Hehe, leave it to me. If there are any good treasures inside, I guarantee they won't escape the palm of my hand." Ning Rongrong patted her chest confidently.

She had every right to say that.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul possessed a hidden treasure-appraising ability. It was precisely because of this ability that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had become the wealthiest sect.

With that treasure-appraising ability, no treasure could escape Ning Rongrong's perception.

Naturally, Ye Feng knew about Ning Rongrong's ability as well.

The two exchanged a glance. Before Xiao Wu could figure out what was happening, they had already taken the lead into the shop.

The shop door stood open. Upon stepping inside, the surroundings suddenly seemed much dimmer.

"What the heck? This shop can't even bear to turn on a light?" Xiao Wu complained as she followed them in.

The moment the three entered, they were drawn to the peculiar fluctuations within the shop.

Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong, who were familiar with such fluctuations, knew that these were Soul Power fluctuations unique to Soul Tools.

Under normal circumstances, if a Soul Tool was not being used or bound through Soul Power, it would release Soul Power in this manner.

For example, the Yin Yang Jade Pendants hanging from Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong's waists were a type of Soul Tool.

From the outside, there did not seem to be much in the shop, and everything looked quite old. From this alone, it was clear that the owner had no intention of seriously running the place.

Seeing customers enter, the shop owner paid them no attention. He continued lying in a wooden recliner, his eyes closed as he gently rocked back and forth.

The owner looked to be around fifty years old. He was powerfully built, but his face was far from appealing.

If one had to describe it, he had a long, shoehorn-shaped face. Though his eyes were closed, he still gave off a somewhat shrewd and crafty air.

With such distinctive looks, there was no need to ask. He had to be Flender.

"Are all these things Soul Tools?" Xiao Wu looked curiously at the items in the shop, somewhat doubtful that they were genuine.

"We'll know after taking a look."

Ye Feng swept his gaze over the many crystals. He remembered that the treasure was a crystal.

Unfortunately, he did not know much about such things and could not determine which one it was.

Just then, Ning Rongrong tugged at his sleeve and discreetly pointed toward a crystal the size of a human head.

The crystal looked unremarkable, with large patches of dark yellow impurities on its surface, making it appear like a piece of junk.

However, it was enormous—about the size of a human head. It was the largest crystal in the shop.

"Looks like this is the treasure." Too much time had passed, and Ye Feng could no longer remember exactly what this thing was. He only remembered that one crystal contained some extremely powerful natural hidden weapons, specially designed to break protective aura barriers.

Although he did not know how to use hidden weapons, someone did. Hopefully, his martial soul would be reliable enough to directly copy Tang San's hidden weapon techniques when the time came.

"Boss, how much is this crystal?" Ye Feng casually wandered around the shop. When he arrived before the crystal Ning Rongrong had indicated, he spoke up.

"Not expensive. One hundred Gold Soul Coins." Without even lifting his head, Flender replied lazily.

"Fine. Here are one hundred Gold Soul Coins. The item is mine." Ye Feng did not even haggle. He directly tossed out a bag of Gold Soul Coins, then, before Flender could react, reached out and stored the crystal in his Storage Soul Tool.

"Brother Feng, don't let him fool you. How could this piece of junk crystal possibly be worth a hundred Gold Soul Coins?" Watching Ye Feng spend a hundred Gold Soul Coins without even blinking, Xiao Wu felt her heart ache.

That was such a huge sum of money—how many beautiful outfits could it buy?!

"Your money isn't enough." Seeing how readily Ye Feng had paid, Flender ignored the fact that Ye Feng had already put away the crystal and directly raised the price.

Bang!

Ning Rongrong slammed a hand onto the table and glared viciously at Flender. "You shameless profiteer! You actually tried to rip me off? Believe it or not, I can make sure your shop can't stay open!"

"Yeah, how could this lousy crystal be worth a hundred Gold Soul Coins? He's obviously a scammer. Brother Feng, let's not buy his junk anymore." Xiao Wu stood united with Ning Rongrong, glaring furiously at Flender.

"Two hundred Gold Soul Coins. Take it if you want it; otherwise, please leave." Flender remained as lazy-looking as ever, as if he saw nothing wrong with it.

"What if I say no?" Ye Feng chuckled softly as the aura of a Soul King slowly spread from him.

His surging aura expanded, making the items in the shop tremble with repeated bangs.

"Hm?"

Sensing Ye Feng's aura, Flender finally opened his eyes.

When he looked up and saw Ye Feng's appearance, a bright glint flashed through his eyes.
