"One hundred million?! Gold spirit coins?!"
Gu Yue'na's eyes glimmered with silver light. So making money and haggling in the human world could be this interesting?
Thirty gold spirit coins for a couple's token… One hundred million? How many couple's tokens could that buy? Millions? Tens of millions? Happiness multiplied!
This amount of money was enough for her and Susu to travel across Douluo Star in luxury. Even Juzi was wide-eyed, transmitting: "Teacher, you're leading the market prices of spirit devices in Mingdu astray!"
Xuan Ziwen glanced at Juzi faintly: "Are you trying to arrest me?"
Juzi: "I… dare not…"
"Hmph, dare not? I think you're quite bold, helping Xu Tianran trick me into carving a statue for Su Qingfeng. Do you know how many people in the continent have their eyes on Su Qingfeng?"
"You've been so focused on palace schemes and intrigues lately, you've been slacking on studying spirit devices, you can't even figure out the oddity of this mask."
Xuan Ziwen lectured Juzi via mental transmission, his face serious:
"We set regulations on spirit device pricing to prevent ordinary people from being cheated by some soul masters—selling low-level spirit devices at high prices—not to stop soul masters from purchasing materials or goods they desire. That was the original intent of our proposal."
Indeed, much of the spirit device laws in the Sun Moon Empire were drafted by the Sun Moon Royal Academy. Xuan Ziwen himself was one of the lawgivers.
"The mask on this boy's face, although sealed by a soul device imprint and perfectly engraved, isn't advanced enough to attract my attention. But the material used to make it is extraordinary.
I once had the opportunity to see the bones of a rare millennia-old Evil Eye Tyrant, whose texture somewhat resembled this one. But I can tell that this bone on the boy's face is even more powerful and unique. I suspect it comes from a hundred-thousand-year-class Evil Eye Tyrant's facial skeleton.
If I combine it with other materials to craft a spirit device, it could likely become an eighth-grade spirit device. An eighth-grade spirit device made from a hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant's bones—worth it, right?"
After Xuan Ziwen finished transmitting, Juzi's gaze at Su Qingfeng changed completely.
They had assumed he was perhaps a core member from another spirit device academy, or a visiting young soul master from one of the three major empires—but to possess a rare spirit device made from a hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant's bones?
The Evil Eye Tyrant was a unique spirit beast of the Sun Moon Empire, extremely powerful. Even hunting a millennia-old one was difficult; items from them were rare, and a hundred-thousand-year-class was practically unheard of.
If they knew this mask was made from the bones of an Evil Emperor, imagine their reactions.
"Sorry, really not for sale."
Xuan Ziwen had influence in the Sun Moon Empire. Many imperial nobles in Mingdu recognized him and Juzi and came over to pay respects.
But Xuan Ziwen's eccentric personality ignored the crowd.
The nobles, seeing an ordinary boy like Su Qingfeng refuse the master, whispered among themselves:"One mask, and refusing Master Xuan?!""Kid, having Master Xuan notice your item is an honor!""And a hundred million gold spirit coins! That's a fortune in any academy or faction—your elders would praise you for bringing it home!""Little friend, can you even carry a hundred million? If not, we can help!"
Gu Yue'na felt a silver aura begin to surface around her: These people were so annoying, she wanted to kill them all!
"Forget it. Let's go. Keep it low-key, don't make a scene."
Su Qingfeng directly took Gu Yue'na's hand, pulling her away from the crowd. If not for this, they might have already become corpses.
"Go? Where to? Want to leave? Then leave your mask behind!"
A fifth-grade soul master reached for Su Qingfeng's face, attempting to snatch the mask.
At that instant, Su Qingfeng's eyes calmly swept over him, and the mask unleashed a powerful mental shock.
The next moment, the fifth-grade soul master froze, collapsed to the ground, and… urinated, dumbfounded: Aba-aba~
"Didn't your mother teach you manners?"
Su Qingfeng didn't want trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either.
Instantly, a fifth-grade soul master was neutralized!
Juzi was shocked—just scared into stupidity by a fifth-grade soul master?
It was a mental attack! A mental-type spirit device, extremely rare and difficult to craft.
"Step aside."
Su Qingfeng looked at the crowd again, and they parted in fear. Indeed, nothing intimidates more than true strength, not rules or laws.
"小 friend, wait."
Xuan Ziwen caught up, sighing at the people:"Disperse, I don't need your influence to buy something. If word gets out, it might look like I'm abusing my power."
"小 friend, not selling is fine—that's your right. I'm Xuan Ziwen, teacher at Sun Moon Royal Academy and researcher at Mingde Hall. I just found your mask intriguing and the material unique. No ill intent."
"I wonder which academy or faction you come from? Who is your teacher? Someone your age able to instantly defeat a fifth-grade soul master—surely your background is extraordinary."
Xuan Ziwen smiled as he followed.
"What fifth-grade soul master? Even that trash just now… Even you, it wouldn't be hard for Susu to beat you…"
Gu Yue'na murmured.
Now, Su Qingfeng was no longer the twelve-year-old boy from before. Although only a year or two had passed, he was now a seventy-eighth-level Soul Saint, with unfathomable true strength.
Juzi and Xuan Ziwen heard Gu Yue'na's murmur, which stirred a ripple of curiosity, even if they didn't take it seriously.
Xuan Ziwen: Are all young people today so arrogant? Even the continent's top genius, Su Qingfeng, wouldn't dare claim to beat me instantly…
Juzi: My teacher is an eighth-grade peak soul master. Saying you could instantly beat one?
Su Qingfeng said calmly: "I am Feng Qingsu, and she is Gu Yue'na. Our origins are insignificant. But if you want material similar to this mask, I can sell you some."
"Really? You have this material? Same size, same price—a hundred million gold spirit coins, not a penny less."
Su Qingfeng directly pulled out a piece of black Evil Emperor bone. He had bones from the Evil Emperor's hundred-meter-tall body, as well as from the Ice Emperor, Red King, and Bear Lord. Although his Seven-Star Ring couldn't hold them all, for Su Qingfeng, each extreme star was a massive storage space.
Xuan Ziwen was stunned. It really existed!
He examined it and confirmed it was indeed the high-quality Evil Eye Tyrant bone.
Later, upon further study, he was shocked—shallow golden veins and immense spiritual power, rarely even found in a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
Xuan Ziwen immediately placed a storage ring in Su Qingfeng's hand:
"There's fifty million gold spirit coins inside. I don't have that much on me; take it first, and I'll replenish you later."
"小 friend, I see you have high spirit device talent and likely good carving skills. How about joining me in the palace to attempt something challenging?"
Xuan Ziwen invited Su Qingfeng.
Juzi's eyes lit up: "Teacher, you agreed?!"
Xuan Ziwen glanced at her, faintly: Of course. One of my top disciples—how could I not favor them?
"I? I think I'll pass," Su Qingfeng declined. Carving his own statue? That's a bit… much.
"You just used mental power on that soul master, right?"
Xuan Ziwen asked.
Su Qingfeng nodded.
Juzi quickly added: "Coincidentally, this palace reward challenge has a soul treasure in the prize for sculpting the work—specifically, a mental-type treasure."
Su Qingfeng: Hmm?!
