Chapter 182: Power, Gourd, Sister-in-law?
"Oh! A prototype of a soul guide?"
Upon hearing the boss's words, Xuan Mo's eyes naturally fell on this seemingly sword-like, but not sword-like, prototype of a soul guide. His interest immediately piqued.
"I didn't expect this wasn't a storage-type soul guide."
The boss couldn't help but grin when he heard Xuan Mo's words. "Hehe! Although this soul guide isn't finished, it's incredibly powerful and incredibly rare. It's been through many twists and turns before it finally came into my hands, but unfortunately, I haven't met anyone who appreciates its value..."
Having said this, the boss discreetly examined Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong before handing the soul guide forward.
"But it is fate that I meet the girl today..."
Then, the boss stroked the soul guide lightly with his hand, "It seems that this soul guide has found its owner."
At this time, Xuan Mo glanced at Ning Rongrong and found that she was confused, so he whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?"
"I am good at identifying gems, because that is a special means and talent possessed by our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, but looking at soul guides..."
Xuan Mo narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what Ning Rongrong was confused about. She was afraid that she would make a mistake.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mo took out his wine gourd from the "King Kong", then put it to his lips and took a sip gently, "Don't worry, leave this to me."
After saying this to Ning Rongrong, Xuan Mo turned his gaze to the boss, "How much do you plan to sell this soul guide for?"
"Not much!" After seeing Xuan Mo's intention to buy it, the boss immediately made an "eight" gesture, "Only eight million gold soul coins, then this prototype of the soul guide will belong to you."
As a result, just after he finished speaking, before Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong could say anything, a familiar scream came from behind them.
"What?! Eight million?! And gold soul coins?!"
When Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong heard the voice, they guessed who the visitor was without even turning their heads, "Xiao Ao, why are you here?"
Oscar stepped in front of the two of them, glanced at the smiling boss warily, then put his hand on Xuan Mo's shoulder, turned around and whispered, "I just happened to be browsing here, and then I heard that something like this costs eight million gold soul coins, so I came here."
After that, Oscar looked at Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong with weird eyes, "Rongrong, Lao Mo, is there something wrong with your brains? You actually want to spend eight million gold soul coins to buy this thing? Aren't you just stupid people with a lot of money, just let him rip you off?"
"Who do you say has a problem with his brain?!"
Ning Rongrong was immediately unhappy when she heard what Oscar said, "Besides, I'm not buying it! I'm just asking..."
"No." Xuan Mo interrupted Ning Rongrong before she finished speaking, "Actually, I was planning to buy it."
"What?!"
Now, not only Oscar was confused, but even Ning Rongrong was shocked by what Xuan Mo said.
Ning Rongrong grabbed Xuan Mo's hand. "Mo, are you crazy? Eight million gold soul coins is a lot of money for me. It's not worth it for a half-finished soul tool."
Xuan Mo didn't explain, just shook his head slightly.
In reality, the moment his boss took out the soul tool, Xuan Mo had already begun thinking and forming a plan.
Ten thousand years later, when the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided, Shrek, while still the continent's premier academy, would still lag behind in terms of soul tools.
It was precisely because of this that Xuan Mo had made up his mind to purchase the prototype. He was hoping to find the right person to develop the method for crafting it, despite the extremely small chance of such a feat.
Seeing Xuan Mo's determination, Ning Rongrong and Oscar stopped trying to dissuade him. They knew that once Xuan Mo made up his mind, even ten ten-thousand-year soul beasts wouldn't be able to stop him.
"How's it going, young man? Eight million gold soul coins?"
Upon hearing the boss's words, Oscar turned around and yelled, "Hey! Even a robber wouldn't be as ruthless as you!"
Seeing Oscar's expression, the boss wasn't angry at all, as if it wasn't his first time and he wasn't surprised.
"Little brother, that's not what I meant. This sword is truly a treasure, perhaps the only one of its kind. The eight million price tag is because I'm looking for this young woman's appreciation for the value of her craft. Otherwise, it would be much more than eight million gold soul coins."
"You..." Just as Oscar was about to continue his argument, Xuan Mo stopped him and looked at the boss. "Can you please inspect this soul guide prototype for me first? What do you think of it?"
"Of course."
Xuan Mo hung the wine gourd around his waist and took the soul guide prototype from the boss. After examining it carefully, he exclaimed, "Wow!"
He then injected his soul power into the soul guide prototype, emitting a sharp aura.
Immediately, Xuan Mo raised his sword and slashed to the side. The blade's light from the soul guide directly cut a trench in the ground, about three meters deep, but not too long.
"Good! I only used less than 30% of my strength, and I launched such an attack. Not to mention a thousand-year soul beast, even a ten-thousand-year soul beast with a moderate defense would be injured. If I had used all my strength, I should be able to single-handedly kill a medium-level soul beast around fifteen thousand years old."
Xuan Mo's eyes flashed with a gleam. In a fight, with this soul guide, with his current cultivation level, he would be able to kill most soul masters below the Soul Emperor level.
"Boss, I think eight million is still too expensive..."
At the same time.
Around the shop, a fat man and a thin man were scanning the surroundings, looking for anything to catch their eye.
"The promotion match is tomorrow. What do you think?"
The thin man didn't say anything, simply staring at the fat man quietly, trying to figure out what he was about to say.
Seeing this, the fat man said, "The teacher told us to decide which player goes in first. How did you decide?"
"That's all decided by the captain. It's not our turn."
The fat man curled his lips in disdain after hearing the thin man's words. "How could he be captain if he wasn't a legitimate son of the royal family? Thank goodness that senior was so easy to talk to, otherwise... hmph!"
"Come on, he's a Soul Master after all." The thin man, clearly hesitant, immediately stopped the fat man from continuing.
"Tsk! They're all bad people. They're just killing the donkey after it's done its work..."
The fat man was clearly furious. After mumbling something, his eyes happened to catch Xuan Mo's eye in the distance, and his eyes fell on the wine gourd hanging from his waist.
"Look!" The fat man was instantly overjoyed upon seeing the wine gourd, his previous expression vanishing. Before the thin man could react, he dragged him towards Xuan Mo.
At this moment, after Xuan Mo's haggling and analysis, the boss lost his composure and was now sweating profusely.
Xuan Mo had slashed the price of the Soul Guide prototype to four million gold soul coins, a sharp cut in half.
Even more devastating was the fact that he couldn't refute Xuan Mo's analysis, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"Rongrong, do you have four million gold soul coins?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head awkwardly. "I only have three million gold soul coins on me this time."
"This..." Xuan Mo felt a little embarrassed. He only had thirty thousand gold soul coins, hardly enough to pay for the Soul Guide prototype.
As for Oscar... well, he'd better get ready for bed.
Just as Xuan Mo was discussing with the boss whether they could take it slow, a deep voice came from behind, "I'll pay for the remaining one million gold soul coins!"
Xuan Mo turned around immediately after hearing this and saw that the people who spoke were a fat man as fat as a ball and a thin man in black.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that Xuan Mo didn't say anything, Oscar felt that Xuan Mo didn't know them, so he asked. However, his tone was not aggressive. After all, they were saved by the newcomers.
At this time, the fat man and the thin man walked up to Xuan Mo, greeted the three of them, and the fat man's eyes fell on Ning Rongrong. The words he said surprised everyone.
"You should be my sister-in-law..."
