Dugu Bo at Level 98
"In that case?" A hint of a smile flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes as he replied, "Then this junior will respectfully accept your offer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the dazzling array of treasures in the vault, and he quietly pondered what to choose.
The value of the treasures in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School's treasury is no less than that of the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's treasury was filled with a large number of ostentatious treasures used to display their status.
But the situation is completely different at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda inherently possesses the mysterious ability to appraise treasures. When faced with a collection, even if members of a sect cannot explain its origin or determine its specific value, they can sense from the intuition generated by their Martial Soul that the item is extraordinary and of considerable value.
It is precisely for this reason that the treasury contains many rare and precious treasures whose uses even the treasurers themselves do not understand.
Knowing only that they were treasures, but not knowing how to use them, they carefully stored them here.
"How about this one?" After a short while, Lu Xuan picked up an exquisitely crafted Snake Bone Jewelry and said in a raised voice, "Yanyan should like this one."
"This one?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at it and instantly recognized the item.
That hairpin was carved from the bones of a ten-thousand-year-old snake. Apart from its exquisite appearance, it had no other function. In terms of value, it probably didn't even amount to a few hundred Gold Soul Coin.
"If you like it, young friend, please feel free to take it." Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly and said, "Let's just say it's worth one Gold Soul Coin."
"Then thank you very much, Sect Master Ning." Lu Xuan thanked him with a smile, then reached for the Jade Bracelet beside him and asked, "Lingling should like this emerald green bracelet. How much is it?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect young friend Lu to be so thoughtful." Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, assuming Lu Xuan was only interested in choosing accessories to please the girl, and casually said, "This one will also be priced at one Gold Soul Coin."
"No problem." Lu Xuan put the bracelet into his Storage Soul Tool, his face remaining calm, but his gaze continued to slowly sweep across the treasures in the vault, secretly searching for the true treasures hidden among them.
Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the rows of collections, noticing many rare and precious metals, but these things were of no use to him.
There are also several artifacts that can construct Mimicry Cultivation Environment, but they are of no use to the group at present.
Aside from the low-age Soul Bone, the Gold of Life that he had secretly taken away was the only truly valuable treasure here.
That's right, Lu Xuan once again stumbled upon the Gold of Life.
Even though it's not of immediate use, there's no reason to let such a treasure slip by now that we've come across it.
Next, Lu Xuan leisurely picked and chose, storing all the low-quality Soul Bone that others looked down upon into his Storage Soul Tool.
Until he finds a second way to activate the Azure Jade Bird Statue, he can only rely on the Soul Bone as a medium to activate it.
He had already acquired a batch of Soul Bone from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's treasury, and now, with the addition of the Soul Bones from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, which were considered useless, the total amount was enough to support him. He then extracted the inner Inner Core and hidden Soul Bone from the pair of Azure Jade Bird Statue.
As he collected the Soul Bone one by one, he muttered to himself, "Although these Soul Bone are of low age, they are still quite precious to ordinary geniuses outside. Using one Soul Bone to recruit a genius with Innate Soul Power of level seven or above is entirely feasible."
Ning Fengzhi listened from the side, secretly scoffing to himself.
Using Thousand-Year Soul Bone as a bargaining chip can indeed attract geniuses above the seventh level of the Innate Realm to serve.
But human hearts are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that those who receive Soul Bone and favors won't harbor ulterior motives and betray their sect in the future?
Every sect has ungrateful wretches that can't be tamed!
Even if the other party truly submits, one must still be wary of those who lurk in the shadows, specifically hunting down geniuses and plundering their Soul Bone.
This kind of dirty work was already handled by people within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong was one of them.
Before long, the deal was finally finalized.
Both parties received the treasures they desired, and the transaction was thus concluded. Lu Xuan then prepared to take his leave with Dugu Bo.
Ning Fengzhi escorted the two to the entrance of the treasure vault, then looked at Dugu Bo and spoke with a hint of sincerity, "Your Majesty Dugu, have you truly never considered joining my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo chuckled, exuding a carefree and unrestrained air, and replied calmly, "I am free and unrestrained outside, why should I join your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and be bound by its rules?"
Having said that, he said no more, turned around and left with Lu Xuan.
"Sigh." Ning Fengzhi watched the two figures disappear into the distance, let out a soft sigh, and muttered to himself, "Dugu Bo, in the end, still doesn't understand the principle that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'"
After he finished speaking, he slowly turned around and returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
With so many Soul Bone and rare treasures taken away at once, does Dugu Bo truly have the ability to hold onto such a vast fortune?
However, as one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ultimately had to consider its reputation.
Even if the thought of murder and robbery arises in one's mind, one must not leave any evidence; one must do it secretly and without any stain on one's reputation.
Having returned laden with spoils from both the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Lu Xuan and his group were no longer in a hurry to search for the neglected Thousand Jun Ant Right Arm Bone to complete the final transaction.
Dugu Bo went into seclusion to absorb the Fifty Thousand Year Poison-Attribute Soul Bone, and his Soul Power barrier was broken through, officially entering the ranks of Level 98 Titled Douluo.
Dugu Xin refined Thirty Thousand Year Soul Bone taken from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. His Soul Power steadily increased, and he was getting closer and closer to the threshold of a Level 90 Titled Douluo.
The remaining Thirty Thousand Year Soul Bone was given to Ye Renxin to absorb.
The Soul Bone was of decent quality and quite compatible with Ye Renxin's Martial Soul attributes.
Although Ye Renxin did not break through to the next level after absorbing the Soul Bone, he solidified his foundation, making his Soul Power more profound and robust.
Two days later, news spread Heaven Dou City that Xue Ye had successfully broken through and entered the Soul Sage Realm.
On the third day, Xue Ye delivered the remaining treasures from the treasury to the Dugu Manor as promised. It was clear that he was extremely satisfied with the outcome of the transaction.
Xue Ye wanted to purchase more Immortal Herb to further enhance his cultivation, but Dugu Bo flatly refused. Xue Ye had no treasures left to exchange for a second Immortal Herb.
On the other side, Prince Xue Xing heard that his elder brother had successfully broken through with just one transaction, and he immediately became interested and began searching for Soul Bone and rare treasures everywhere. He was already a Level 78 Soul Sage, and if he could obtain a top-tier Heavenly Treasures, he might have a chance to break through to Soul Douluo.
Even if he wanted to obtain it, he would have to offer something of equal value in exchange.
Since Lu Xuan's arrival, Dugu Bo no longer owes Prince Xue Xing any favors and will not give him any preferential treatment based on past relationships.
