A smooth transaction
As an extremely shrewd businessman, Ning Fengzhi never lacked Gold Soul Coin.
If he could easily buy this Torso Bone with money, he would have no intention of using his sect's power to intimidate others.
After a brief chat, Ning Fengzhi finally steered the conversation to the true purpose of their trip, saying, "Your Majesty Dugu, I've heard that you possess a 70,000-year- Torso Bone, which you intend to use to replace other parts of your Soul Bone?"
"Not bad." Dugu Bo nodded slightly and said, "My son and I already have Torso Bone, so we plan to use them to exchange for other parts of our Soul Bone. As long as the value is equal, everything is negotiable."
"Oh?" Gu Rong was unaware that Dugu Bo had already reached level ninety-seven, and still didn't take him seriously. He glanced at Dugu Bo and said with a half-smile, "Old Poisoner, why don't you take it out and let this old man take a look at this Soul Bone?"
"Of course." Dugu Bo was not worried at all that the other party might secretly try to renege on the debt. With a thought, he directly took out the 70,000-year -Torso Bone.
Gu Rong, a level 95 Titled Douluo, could immediately tell that this item was extremely valuable. Ning Fengzhi, who was skilled in appraising treasures, focused his gaze on the Soul Bone and quickly assessed its weight in his mind.
In a short while, the two finished reading.
It's a true treasure!
Whether it's Chen Xin or Gu Rong, if they absorb this piece of Torso Bone, their own strength will be greatly enhanced.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been synonymous with wealth on the continent.
For a long time, worldly things have been what Ning Fengzhi wanted and Ning Fengzhi obtain.
Since Dugu Bo is now interested in making a deal, Ning Fengzhi plans to use a large sum of money to entice him.
"Your Majesty Dugu," Ning Fengzhi asked, "What would you like to exchange for?"
"I happen to have Soul Bone from a level 50,000 Man Faced Demon Spider on hand, which can be part of the transaction." Ning Fengzhi raised his hand, took out the Soul Bone, and continued, "I'm confident I can make up the difference with other treasures."
"The Soul Bone of the Man Faced Demon Spider's leg!" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, a hint of interest appearing in them.
Dugu Bo has now collected four Soul Bone, and his Soul Bone configuration is almost complete, except for the two leg Soul Bone that are yet to be completed.
This 50,000- Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Bone can perfectly fill his weakness.
Once successfully absorbed, his physical foundation and Soul Power refinement will experience a qualitative leap, and the Level 98 barrier, which was originally stuck at the bottleneck and just one step away, will be within reach.
Although a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, his expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest hint of eagerness.
"Sect Master Ning," Dugu Bo raised his eyes, his tone unhurried, carrying a hint of composed strategic maneuvering, "You should know that there is a huge difference in value between a 70,000-year-old top-grade Torso Bone and this 50,000-year-old leg Soul Bone."
"Of course!" Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and slowly said, "Why don't you accompany His Majesty Dugu to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect so that I can personally select treasures from the treasury to make up the difference in price for this Soul Bone? What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo initially found nothing amiss and did not suspect that the other party had laid a trap for him.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly intended to seize the Soul Bone by force, they would never have set up the battlefield within their own sect.
The sect is the foundation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If a deadly battle at the level of Titled Douluo breaks out here, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Even the final counterattack of a level 91 Titled Douluo, with its contained poison and berserk Soul Power, was enough to overturn the sect's buildings, leaving the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School barren.
Ning Fengzhi meticulous and would never take such a huge risk as to destroy his sect.
Dugu Bo's mind raced. He turned to look at Lu Xuan beside him, a smile playing on his lips, and asked, "Xiao Xuan, how about we take a trip to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Alright." Lu Xuan laughed heartily upon hearing this and immediately stood up in response. His eyes held a hint of amusement as he calmly said, "I've long heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is incredibly wealthy, comparable to a nation. I was fortunate enough to have seen the treasury of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace before, and today I'll go and see for myself whether the rumors are true."
"Hehe." Ning Fengzhi chuckled upon hearing this, raising his eyes to look at the young man before him. His demeanor was composed, and his tone was full of confidence. "Young friend Lu, rest assured. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School may not claim to be the best in the world in anything else, but its treasures and wealth are unparalleled on the continent. You will definitely not be disappointed."
"That would be perfect." Lu Xuan smiled faintly and nodded calmly.
After saying this, the four of them stopped talking and set off together, walking slowly towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Several hours later, the group arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Having witnessed the sect's profound foundation firsthand, I realized that what the world said was true; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly deserved the reputation of being as wealthy as a country.
Upon closer inspection inside the treasure vault, the number of Soul Bone stored there was even greater than that of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Treasury. Unfortunately, the only drawback was that most of these Soul Bone were of relatively short age, and their associated attributes were not particularly superior.
Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the collection on the shelf and he saw two Gem- type Soul Bone that were over 20,000 years old and suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Although there were Power Attack System Soul Bone on display in the treasure vault, the oldest was only a little over ten thousand years old. Naturally, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo wouldn't even look at such a quality.
Lu Xuan turned to look at the two Titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, beside him and asked, "With so many Soul Bone stored here, aren't you two even a little tempted? Or is it that Sect Master Ning is reluctant to give them to you?"
"We have already absorbed all the Soul Bone; these are far too inferior in quality," Sword Douluo said calmly. "Such inferior goods are dispensable to us."
"Those who can serve as elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be provided with suitable Soul Bone by the sect." Ning Fengzhi glanced at Dugu Bo, then turned to Lu Xuan, calmly explaining, "Once a Soul Bone Soul Bone is given to an elder, it belongs to that elder personally. Even if the elder eventually passes away after their lifespan has run out, the Soul Bone will be left to their descendants and will not be taken back by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both received Soul Bone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect back then. This was one of the rewards for the two of them being hired as elders of the school, and it was also a means for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to retain top experts.
"Very well, let's continue discussing the deal." Lu Xuan shook his head slightly, a hint of regret on his face. He turned to Dugu Bo and said, "Grandpa Dugu, could you take a look at the treasure vault and see which treasures could make up for the price difference of this Soul Bone?"
"Xiao Xuan, is there anything you've taken a fancy to?" Dugu Bo turned his head to look at Lu Xuan.
In his eyes, only things like Soul Bone or Immortal Herb that could enhance one's strength could be considered truly valuable treasures.
But he knew in his heart that Lu Xuan had a unique eye and could often discover many rare items that were even more precious than Soul Bone.
"If young friend Lu has any interest in anything, please feel free to speak up." Ning Fengzhi, with a magnanimous demeanor, smiled slightly, "That 70,000-year -Torso Bone is extremely valuable, and there's still considerable room for price negotiation. Why not prioritize choosing something you desire to make up the difference?"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, Lu Xuan was just a boy after all, and his eye for appraising treasures was definitely not as good as Dugu Bo's.
If Lu Xuan were to choose, he might only pick those items that are priceless in the eyes of the world, but have limited use in the eyes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
This, in turn, played right into his hands.
