Although Ning Fengzhi and his daughter Ning Rongrong tried their best to conceal their Covet, the Covet in their eyes did not escape Dugu Bo's notice.
Dugu Bo subconsciously turned around and exchanged a glance with Lin Mo, and immediately felt reassured.
The Soul Bone trade is highly likely to succeed.
Now they've become a seller's market, with supply falling short of demand.
Now they just need to wait for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School to make an offer; they won't have to worry about selling it now.
Ning Fengzhi noticed Lin Mo and Dugu Bo's reactions, and he immediately realized what was happening.
The old man and the young man probably knew before they came that he wouldn't just watch the Head Soul Bone, which was so suitable for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, slip through their fingers.
Only then did they come up and get straight to the point, selling the treasure to them.
Ning Fengzhi put down his teacup, sighed softly, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, young friend Lin Mo, this Soul Bone is indeed very suitable for the Soul Master of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
He paused, "However, I would appreciate it if Your Excellency Poison Douluo and young friend Lin Mo could provide an explanation regarding the details of the transaction."
If it doesn't exceed our acceptable limits, we certainly wouldn't mind making a move to acquire it.
Ning Fengzhi showed great sincerity, but Lin Mo and Dugu Bo both understood the unspoken meaning behind his words.
A premium is acceptable, but exorbitant prices are not.
Lin Mo smiled and stepped forward, " Sect Master Ning is indeed a straightforward person. It was worth it for us to go directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Our demand is simple: barter, exchanging Soul Bone for Soul Bone.
"As for the type of Soul Bone we need, the attribute is limited to one of poison, Life, or fire."
As for the types of Soul Beast that produce Soul Bone, they are limited to plant-based and dragon-type Soul Beast.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes sharpened.
His gaze swept over Lin Mo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingleng, and he understood.
The Poison-type Soul Bone was clearly prepared for Dugu Yan, the Life-type corresponded to Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, and the Fire-type was what Lin Mo needed.
The Soul Bone obtained through this exchange were probably prepared for these three exceptionally talented youngsters.
However, recalling the performance of these three in the Soul Master Tournament, Ning Fengzhi a sense of relief.
Yes, given their demonstrated talent, it's perfectly normal for Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, to be willing to give them his Soul Bone.
Just like this Head Soul Bone, even if he could obtain it smoothly, he didn't plan to absorb it, but rather to leave it to Ning Rongrong, who had better talent.
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Yes, but Soul Bone are extremely precious. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may not have any that meet your requirements in its inventory."
We need time to collect it.
Lin Mo nodded slightly to show his understanding, but then added another condition.
"One more thing. If the Soul Bone used for the trade is not a head or Torso Soul Bone, but Soul Bone from another limb, then the age of the Soul Bone you use for the trade must be higher than that of the Head Soul Bone."
Ning Fengzhi didn't react much upon hearing this, and readily accepted it.
This was exactly what he expected.
Among the six common Soul Bone, the Head Soul Bone is second only to the Torso Soul Bone in terms of rarity.
If it's an exchange of equal value, the other parts of the Soul Bone they offer should naturally be of higher age and quality than this one.
"That makes sense," Ning Fengzhi said. "In that case, the deal is tentatively complete. We'll wait until we find a suitable match—"
"We'll contact you again once we receive the requested Soul Bone."
Lin Mo nodded and reached out to put the Soul Bone on the table back into his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong's self-illumination moved with his movements until the Soul Bone disappeared, at which point the two reluctantly withdrew their gaze.
I hope you have a pleasant transaction.
Lin Mo said, "If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School receives Soul Bone that meets our requirements, they can go to the Dugu Manor to conduct the transaction. We won't need to make another trip."
Ning Fengzhi agreed, "Okay."
With the matter settled, Lin Mo and his two companions took their leave without lingering.
Ning Fengzhi personally escorted the three to the entrance of the council hall and watched them leave.
Once Lin Mo and the other two had disappeared from sight, Ning Fengzhi slowly turned around and returned to the hall.
He sat back in the main seat and fell into deep thought.
Gu Rong, standing to the side, shook his head, his tone full of regret, "This kind of Head Soul Bone, which is extremely suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would be extremely tempting even for us Titled Douluo."
If Dugu Bo hadn't been with Lin Mo and the other two, I might have even tried to snatch it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin immediately glanced at this brainless fool.
He clutched his sword, speechless.
"That's Dugu Bo. And this Old Poison's strength has clearly increased significantly compared to before."
Chen Xin's voice was indifferent.
"With our swords and bones combined, and with the amplification from Feng Zhi, taking down Dugu Bo shouldn't be a problem. But the key issue is that this is the territory of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
He looked at the Gu Rong, his eyes sharp.
"If the three Titled Douluo were to start fighting here, one of them would be Dugu Bo, who is known for his poisons."
After the fight, regardless of victory or defeat, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will likely be wiped out from the world.
Gu Rong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and awkwardly touched his nose.
"That's true—if that Old Poison really goes all out, he could release a poison that contaminates the entire sect's headquarters. We'd be at a huge loss."
Ning Rongrong, listening from the side, couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "It's just a transaction, why rob them? Lin Mo and the others are fine."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at his daughter, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He knew perfectly well that trading was the safest approach.
However, that Soul Bone was so perfectly suited to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul that it almost made him lose his composure.
"Alright," Ning Fengzhi said, "Now that the deal has been struck, let's go and collect the Soul Bone that meet the requirements as soon as possible."
"Give the order to all members of the sect to pay close attention."
Chen Xin nodded. "Understood."
Meanwhile, Lin Mo and his two companions left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and headed back to the Dugu Manor.
The streets of Heaven Dou City remained as bustling as ever.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling walked on either side of Lin Mo, both in quite good spirits.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Those guys from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect agreed so readily," Dugu Yan said.
Lin Mo nodded. "For them, this Soul Bone is something they can't afford to miss once they encounter it."
Even if they get ripped off, as long as it doesn't exceed their psychological limits, they won't miss the opportunity.
That's why I chose to do business with them.
The three walked and talked, but when they passed a teahouse, Lin Mo caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
On the second floor of the teahouse, by the window, sat a young woman dressed in black, with a cup of tea that had long since gone cold in front of her, staring blankly out the window.
