200,000 Gold Soul Coins, not even enough to skip stones with

"If you are willing, my Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is prepared to offer 100,000 Gold Soul Coins to purchase this Core Array of yours!" Seeing that Chu Feng was interested, Ning Tian felt a surge of joy and hurriedly made her offer.

After all, a standard second-tier Soul Tool was only worth a few hundred Gold Soul Coins, so her offer of 100,000 was a sign of genuine sincerity.

However, upon hearing this price, Chu Feng's expression darkened instantly.

"If I were to put this second-tier Soul Tool up for auction, it would fetch far more than 100,000 Gold Soul Coins. You open with 100,000—are you trying to brush off a beggar?" The look Chu Feng gave Ning Tian was filled with disappointment.

As long as he revealed the effects of this Milk Bottle, even though it was a second-tier Soul Tool, its revolutionary nature would drive every research-oriented Soul Engineer absolutely mad. After all, if they could decode the Core Array within, the value would far exceed 100,000 Gold Soul Coins.

According to his ideal price, factoring in the future commercial value of the Milk Bottle, such a second-tier core should sell for at least 5,000,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Yet Ning Tian only offered 100,000; wasn't this a blatant insult?

"200,000 Gold Soul Coins. That is the highest price I can offer! Don't be greedy!"

"Chu Feng, I don't know where you obtained the manufacturing method for this Core Array, but I guarantee that in your hands, it will never reach its full potential. 200,000 Gold Soul Coins for a second-tier Core Array is already far beyond its value!"

Seeing Chu Feng's ugly expression, Ning Tian gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.

No matter how heaven-defying this Milk Bottle was, its core remained a second-tier one. Only the massive team of Soul Engineers at their Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could fully analyze it, perhaps even deducing a third-tier or higher Core Array from it!

In Chu Feng's hands, it would forever remain a second-tier array; this was simply a waste of a precious treasure!

"200,000 Gold Soul Coins isn't even enough to cover my pocket change. Ning Tian, you disappoint me. If you truly have sincerity, have someone of actual weight from your Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect come over." Chu Feng shook his head, feeling quite let down.

He had expected the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to have some capability, but he hadn't expected her vision to be so short-sighted. He had wasted his anticipation.

Trash.

"Chu Feng, have you lost your mind? That's 200,000 Gold Soul Coins! 'Not enough for pocket change'? Stop bragging; I bet you've never even seen that much money in your entire life!"

At this moment, Wu Feng, who was sitting nearby, exploded on the spot upon hearing Chu Feng's disdain for Ning Tian!

Although she didn't understand Soul Tools, Ning Tian offering such a high price was already giving Chu Feng plenty of face. She hadn't expected Chu Feng to be so greedy—it was simply unreasonable!

"Hmph! What is a mere 200,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"Chu Feng sold a single Hamburger recipe for 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins. For all your Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's claims of being one of the wealthiest sects, are you really going to brag about 200,000 Gold Soul Coins?" At this, Wang Dong, who was sitting to the side, couldn't watch anymore and jumped straight into the fray!

Although Wang Dong usually found it annoying when Chu Feng acted arrogant in front of him, his heart had long since been conquered by Chu Feng's strength and charm. Hearing Wu Feng's insolence, he naturally stood up to defend him.

Of course, he also took the opportunity to show off some wealth.

Wu Feng and Ning Tian were from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, arguably the two wealthiest people in the class, and they often flaunted their status. Now that he finally had a chance to show off, he wasn't going to miss it.

"W-what! 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins!" Ning Tian was stunned. She had tasted the Hamburger Chu Feng made—it was indeed a delicacy—but she never imagined some fool would actually pay 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins for the recipe. When did the world become so crazy?

"Stop bragging. How could a recipe possibly sell for 1,000,000!" Although Wu Feng felt a pang of jealousy, she still put on a facade of disbelief.

"Enough."

Seeing that Wang Dong wanted to say more, Chu Feng finally spoke up, cutting off the war of words.

He hated these kinds of arguments; they were meaningless and a waste of time and breath.

"Hmph!"

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Wang Dong and Wu Feng both snorted, neither willing to yield.

"Ning Tian, Wu Feng, you may leave. I still need to continue crafting Soul Tools. If you are truly sincere, you should have your father come and talk to me." Chu Feng looked at Ning Tian and spoke slowly, effectively showing them the door.

Ning Tian's father was the Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; surely his vision would be better.

"Fine, I will relay this matter." Ning Tian nodded, took Wu Feng, and turned to leave.

Although she felt Chu Feng was too greedy, the value of the Core Array remained immense and held great benefits for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. She would certainly report this to her father.

"Hmph! Just a bit of dirty money, what's there to act so high and mighty about!"

Seeing the two leave, Wang Dong snorted in annoyance. Although his Clear Sky Sect remained hidden from the world, in terms of heritage, they were not a bit inferior to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so his aura was naturally not weak.

"Alright, what's there to argue about? Besides, who knows, maybe in the future they'll be begging me to craft Soul Tools for them." Chu Feng walked over and comforted him with a smile.

This wasn't because he had a good temper, but because he viewed people like Ning Tian as mere children. Even if they were well-developed, their mentalities were still immature, and he truly had no interest in bickering with them.

He only wanted money now. One million was far from enough, ten million was barely passable, but if he had a few billion Gold Soul Coins, that would be enough to establish a super Soul Engineer academy.

"Hmph, I just can't stand them looking down on you like that!"

Wang Dong turned his head away, grumbling.

"Chu Feng, is there something special about the Milk Bottle you made? Why was Ning Tian so excited?" At this point, Xiao Xiao finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Try it yourself and you'll see~" Chu Feng recharged the Milk Bottle he had taken back from Ning Tian and handed it to Xiao Xiao.

"Oh..."

Xiao Xiao quickly dispersed her soul power and took the Milk Bottle to begin absorbing...

The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. Her expression was identical to the one Ning Tian had worn earlier.

"It's... so gentle!!!" Xiao Xiao finally understood why Ning Tian had been so excited.

This Milk Bottle is completely different from those on the market; one could even say it possesses immense strategic value!

The value of just this single Milk Bottle far exceeds that of an ordinary Level 2 Soul Tool, and it is absolutely comparable to a standard Level 3 Soul Tool. Of course, its research value goes far beyond that.

Furthermore, looking at Chu Feng, he manufactures these Milk Bottles at a very high speed and with almost no significant exertion. Even if one Milk Bottle were priced at 1,000 Gold Soul Coins, manufacturing 100 would net 100,000 Gold Soul Coins. Not to mention, Chu Feng's Milk Bottles are extraordinary and are certainly worth more than that.

Ning Tian's offer of 200,000 Gold Soul Coins was indeed somewhat insulting.

"Is it really that magical?"

"Let me see..."

Wang Dong snatched the Milk Bottle from Xiao Xiao's hands, absorbed the remaining soul power, and then...

They were both stunned.
