Electrolux suddenly froze. Although Moyuan's "Long live the people!" had long since dissipated in the heavy snow, those four words still echoed thunderously in his heart.

He had originally been curious about what flowery language Moyuan would use to adorn and praise that world, but when Moyuan uttered those four words in a tone of worship and reminiscence, he instantly felt that even the most ornate embellishments could not describe it as truthfully as those four words.

Electrolux looked at Moyuan, who was leaning against the ground beside him. He realized he had been wrong; this young man who had appeared before him like a monster was not an evil person.

The moment he sincerely spoke those four words, "Long live the people!", he was definitely not a bad person.

At the very least, he wouldn't do anything evil to ordinary people who were defenseless.

"Senior?"

Seeing Electrolux suddenly fall into a daze, Moyuan asked.

"There's no need to call me senior," Electrolux shook his head, his eyes filled with satisfaction as he looked at Moyuan.

"Like you, I am also a traveler who came to the Douluo Continent from another world. Although our paths were different, we are ultimately the same kind of people.

My name is Electrolux. In my previous world, people called me the Calamity of the Undead, the Necromantic Saint Law God. Since we have met, you may call me Elder Yi."

Success!

As soon as Moyuan heard this, he understood that his sincere reminiscence had successfully changed Electrolux's perception of him.

However, he was indeed speaking the truth and saying it with sincerity. Even in the Douluo Continent, a world where the strong reigned supreme, Moyuan had never attacked defenseless civilians after gaining power. In most cases, if he had surplus wealth, he would help civilians in need to the best of his ability.

Moyuan didn't consider himself a great person, but he was definitely not a bad person.

"Yes, Elder Yi."

Moyuan bowed deeply to Electrolux. From this moment on, the two truly became a community, both mentor and friend.

Elder Yi nodded with satisfaction and then continued, "I only have a wisp of residual divine consciousness left. Although it can be preserved by relying on your Sea of Consciousness, it is still as weak as a candle in the wind and needs time to recuperate.

But if you encounter any trouble, just wake me up."

"Yes, Elder Yi."

Moyuan nodded, then closed his eyes. At the same time, he pondered the matter of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife. As long as he obtained that piece of Gold of Living Beings, Electrolux could truly recover.

It was a pity that he was at a disadvantage due to his background. Otherwise, if Moyuan had come from a major power, he would have already intercepted the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes disappeared from his side, and the noise of the crowd arose. Moyuan slowly opened his eyes, and the Battle Soul Arena appeared before him.

The practical combat confrontation of the entire Newborn Class Nine was still ongoing. Various Martial Souls he had never seen before shone on the stage. The strength and talent of each student could almost be described as outstanding.

"Moyuan, you're awake?" Ning Tian, sitting beside him, asked with concern when she saw Moyuan open his eyes.

"Moyuan, did you not rest well yesterday? Do you want me to ask the teacher for leave so you can go back to the dormitory?"

"No, I was just resting because I had nothing to do," Moyuan shook his head and said. Looking at the beautiful Ning Tian, recalling his interactions with her along the way and Ning Tian's identity, an idea suddenly popped into Moyuan's mind.

He couldn't spare the effort or manpower to scheme for the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife right now, but Ning Tian was different!

As the young lady of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, let alone the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife, she could obtain any top-tier engraving knife as long as it had a price.

As long as he made a deal with Ning Tian, asking her to have people from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan search for the whereabouts of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife and buy it, then trade it to him.

This way, he wouldn't have to wait for the future to bid for the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife at the Starlight Auction House.

As for the money, Moyuan wasn't worried. He still had a Ten Thousand Year Right Arm Bone of a Dragon Horn Hunting Lizard. Given the low price of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife due to its master-devouring characteristic, Moyuan could easily afford it.

The only concern was that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan might discover the special nature of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife. However, since the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife had changed hands countless times over thousands of years, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan must have owned it before.

If they hadn't discovered anything unusual back then, they probably wouldn't now.

With his idea confirmed and no apparent issues, Moyuan smiled and motioned for Ning Tian to come closer.

Ning Tian was slightly stunned at first, then a shy blush quickly spread across her face. She leaned forward slightly towards Moyuan.

Then, Moyuan immediately whispered something in her ear.

His warm breath on Ning Tian's rosy earlobe made her feel a little numb, and her slender legs quietly weakened.

However, after hearing what Moyuan said, the shyness in Ning Tian's eyes was instantly replaced by confusion and surprise.

She was very confused why Moyuan would ask her to search for the whereabouts of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife and even offer a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone in exchange.

Putting aside why Moyuan, who had peerless talent in Soul Power cultivation, would want to buy an engraving knife, even if he did, why would he buy a notorious, master-devouring evil blade?

Ning Tian thought Moyuan didn't understand the notoriety of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife, so she wanted to explain and persuade him not to waste his time on Soul Tools.

But when she saw the seriousness in Moyuan's eyes, Ning Tian immediately swallowed her words and said softly instead.

"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to return to the sect this afternoon and mobilize people to search for and buy the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife. As for the transaction, let's forget it. The value of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is far greater than the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife; it's not worth it."

Ning Tian also had her own little plan when she said this. She had been trying hard to draw Moyuan into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Now, Moyuan had finally taken the initiative to ask for their help.

If she honestly accepted the equivalent trade, it would be too foolish. As long as they gave the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife to Moyuan for free, Moyuan would owe them a favor and their relationship would be closer.

The only loss would probably be the money spent to buy the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife, but for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, which was as rich as a nation, it wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket.

Hearing this, Moyuan gave Ning Tian a meaningful look. He could hear her calculations from ten miles away. Unfortunately, before he became powerful, he couldn't truly join any faction.

"How can this be? I really dislike taking advantage of others. We must have an equivalent exchange. One soul bone for the soul devouring engraving knife."

Ning Tian's eyes twitched slightly. Although she had never seen Moyuan take advantage of anyone, she found his words rather awkward.

Since Moyuan insisted on an equivalent exchange, Ning Tian abandoned her original idea and nodded, agreeing to Moyuan's request.

"Moyuan, what are you whispering about with Ning Tian?!" Wu Feng said angrily. She had been happy to see Moyuan resting with his eyes closed and not talking to Ning Tian, but in the blink of an eye, she saw the two of them whispering.

How detestable!

Moyuan chuckled, "Want to know?"

"Of course!"

"Even if you want to know, I won't tell you."

"Moyuan, you bastard!"
