Chapter 183. Soul Guidance Device Trading.
Ling Yuan Douluo lifted the brocade cloth and pulled out a longsword. He said, "Level 2 Soul Guidance Device, standard Soul Guidance Longsword, one thousand gold soul coins each. This time, I'm selling one thousand swords for one million gold soul coins, with bids increasing by 100,000 gold soul coins each time. The highest bidder wins. Kings, emperors, and clan masters are welcome to bid."
As the Soul Guidance Longsword appeared, all the powers focused on it.
Yu Yuanzhen disdained such low-level Soul Guidance Devices. In his view, the soul masters of his own Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan had a talent of at least level 4, starting at Soul Venerable or above. Spending such money on these Soul Guidance Devices would be better spent on their cultivation. Soul Guidance Devices were nothing more than gimmicks and tricks.
However, for the powers of the empires and kingdoms, these items were of immense use.
Dai Tianfeng, in particular, commanded a considerable army of spirit masters. If these were equipped with spirit guides, he would possess a formidable force.
Ning Fengzhi's stance differed from Yu Yuanzhen's. Yu Yuanzhen's martial spirit inherently possessed a powerful offensive power, while the core members of Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were practically devoid of combat power. These spirit guides were extremely necessary for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
The King of the Barak Kingdom was the first to hold up a sign and bid, "One million gold soul coins." The King of the Michelin Kingdom held up a sign and said, "One million gold soul coins."
"One million two hundred thousand gold soul coins," the Hangendas Kingdom held up a sign and bid.
Bidding continued, and in the final stages, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Xingluo, and the Heaven Dou Empire all entered the fray. The item was ultimately sold to Ning Fengzhi for ten million gold soul coins. Even the mere sight of ten million made Ning Fengzhi's heart ache, but he knew he had to buy it.
"Congratulations, Sect Master Ning, for securing this auction item," said Ling Yuan Douluo with a smile. Ling Yuan then unveiled another item: a set of second-tier standard soul guide armor!
Also priced at one thousand sets, the price was the same as the longsword.
This time, a dispute erupted among the various parties. Dai Tianfeng, despite Ning Fengzhi's willingness, outbid the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect by spending 15 million gold soul coins to purchase the thousand sets of soul guide armor.
The third auction was for a set of second-tier standard soul guide shields. This time, Emperor Xue Ye paid 13 million gold soul coins for the item.
After the three sets of standard equipment were sold out, the Spirit Hall gradually released a small number of third-tier standard soul guide devices.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Tian Dou, and Xing Luo were particularly interested in soul guide devices, as they possessed ample capital. Smaller factions, such as the Kingdom and Principality, were left in a much more awkward position.
The Spirit Hall profited immensely from the auction, but the bulk of the auction items were divided among the three parties, leaving little for the smaller factions.
As the auction progressed into the evening, Lingyuan Douluo declared it closed. Ning Fengzhi then asked, "Your Holiness, what did you mean by customizable soul guides?"
Qianxun laughed quickly and said, "According to your requirements, our Spirit Hall will customize a custom soul guide for you."
Ning Fengzhi said, "Okay, then I'd like to customize a set of soul guides."
So, Ning Fengzhi custom-made a set of soul guide combat boots, soul guide soft armor, a soul guide dagger, and a soul guide for Ning Rongrong. Other factions interested in soul guides also submitted their own requests.
Finally, Qian Xunji said, "From now on, this will be where the Spirit Hall sells soul guides. Anyone interested in soul guides is welcome to purchase them. This soul guide exhibition is officially over."
After the conference, everyone returned home with their soul guides.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect immediately disassembled their soul guides upon their return. However, the moment they disassembled the soul guides, they triggered the fuse inside, shattering the parts.
"No, Sect Master! The Spirit Hall has installed a fuse on the soul guides. Even if we disassemble them, we'll destroy the parts," a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect master blacksmith said helplessly.
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then took out a sword and handed it to the master blacksmith, asking, "This sword doesn't have any other parts. Do you think you could forge a soul guide weapon based on it?"
"Master, forging a similar sword would be no problem for me. However, I can't make this sword into a soul guide weapon because I don't know the underlying mechanisms." The master blacksmith spread his hands and said.
Ning Fengzhi fell silent, staring at the iron sword unwillingly, trying to discern some secret from it.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect desperately needed soul guides, so much so that Ning Fengzhi had to spend a fortune to purchase them from the Spirit Hall. However, even if Ning Fengzhi had the wherewithal to afford the Spirit Hall's exorbitant purchase costs, he didn't want the Spirit Hall to continue relying solely on soul guide revenue. The Spirit Hall was already so powerful, and when the profits grew, would they, the other sects and forces, have a chance?
"How much time do you have to analyze the soul guide technology within?" Ning Fengzhi asked in a low voice.
The Blacksmith Grandmaster said, "I don't know, Sect Master. Have you ever considered this: with so many soul guides passed down throughout history, why didn't anyone extract them before the Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi said, "I can give you as much time, as much financial resources, as much supplies, anything you need, but only if you replicate the soul guide technology for me. Absolutely."
If the soul guide technology was controlled by a certain faction, such as the Haotian Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, Ning Fengzhi would be happy to spend money on them. After all, the three sects were closely related. However, since the Spirit Hall controlled the soul guide technology, his sect's demand for it went directly into the Spirit Hall's pockets.
Every penny spent on the Spirit Hall made Ning Fengzhi feel irritated, because the Spirit Hall was so powerful.
Already, the various factions were feeling suffocated. With the Spirit Hall now possessing an overwhelmingly superior technology in the form of soul guides, Ning Fengzhi had no idea how much greater their power would be in the future.
In short, they needed what the Spirit Hall had, and they must not allow the Spirit Hall to become even more powerful.
Grandmaster Blacksmith's eyes blurred for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "Master, due to my professional ethics, I cannot give you a definite answer. However, I will dedicate my entire life to helping you refine the soul guide technology within."
