Chapter 42: Selling Soul Bones, A Complete Set!_1

"Tang Sect Master, you are the leader of a sect after all, now speaking those words, don't you find it laughable?"

After listening to Tang Xiao's words, Sword Douluo couldn't help but laugh, "Before, our Sect Master also attempted to mediate the conflict between the two sides, but what kind of attitude did you present, and how did you refuse us? We still remember clearly."

"This..."

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's eyes bulged and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Times have changed, can now be the same as before?

When he first arrived, upon seeing Qin Xiao, how spirited and vigorous was he?

Not even in his dreams had he imagined that he and his brother together wouldn't be able to bring down a Ninety-Second Level Titled Douluo.

"This time it's really over..."

Gradually, Tang Xiao despaired.

The light in his eyes faded.

"On your way then."

Qin Xiao knew that Tang Xiao's mindset had completely collapsed, knowing full well the road ended in death, his spirit and vigor dissipated.

Immediately, he struck down with a palm, lightning enveloping Tang Xiao.

In just the span of a breath, the Haotian Sect Master, Ninety-Fifth Level Titled Douluo Tang Xiao, was reduced to ashes, utterly disappearing from the face of Soul Land.

"Tinkling clatter."

After the death of Tang Xiao, the soul bones he had refined fell to the ground, clinking against each other, emitting a series of crisp sounds.

"As expected of the Haotian Sect Master, to actually have as many as six soul bones."

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, he reached out and grabbed, and all six soul bones fell into his hands.

It must be said, this was truly an unexpected surprise.

...

"He's dead, the mighty Haotian Sect Master, just fell like this?"

From a distance, Flander and the others only just snapped out of their daze.

It was unimaginable that someone as significant as Tang Xiao would die right before their eyes.

Even the soul bones that originally belonged to Tang Xiao burst out.

How tragic!

"His Majesty the Thunder Emperor is mighty!"

"I, Old Zhao, am thoroughly convinced!"

Zhao Wuji's face was filled with fervent admiration.

In his opinion, a real man should be as decisive in killing as Qin Xiao.

No matter who you are, in my eyes, you are no different from common cabbage!

And the character Qin Xiao displayed was very much like him, Zhao Wuji. Taking life and death lightly, if not convinced, just fight.

"The age of these soul bones is quite ordinary."

At this moment, Qin Xiao had already roughly distinguished the age of the many soul bones.

Of course, his definition of ordinary was anything but...

They were all between twenty thousand and fifty thousand years.

Under normal circumstances, these soul bones would be considered extremely high quality.

Otherwise, how could Tang Xiao, the Sect Master himself, have chosen to refine them?

But.

Qin Xiao was not impressed.

That's right.

It was just that audacious.

Since arriving at Soul Land and having already become a Titled Douluo, Qin Xiao believed that not refining six soul bones of over a hundred thousand years would be a disservice to himself.

"Sect Master Ning, I wonder if your Seven Treasures Glaze Sect accepts soul bones?"

He turned to Ning Fengzhi and asked.

Soul bones?

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback by the question.

But when he glanced at the soul bones in Qin Xiao's hand, he immediately nodded, "Yes, how many does Brother Qin wish to sell?"

Soul bones were precious treasures, even within the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect.

Especially those that had matured for over ten thousand years, they were indeed rare artifacts.

Not to mention, two Elders of their Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, hadn't even managed to collect a full set of soul bones.

As for their origin.

Did Ning Fengzhi have a problem with buying soul bones with money?

Even if the Hao Tian Clan heard about it and came asking, it wouldn't work...

"I'll sell the whole set to you, name your price," Qin Xiao said as he passed the set of soul bones in his hand.

To be honest, these things were useless to him; he might as well sell them to Ning Fengzhi.

Of course, Qin Xiao had his own plans.

First, to liquidate assets.

Second, it could be considered repaying Ning Fengzhi for his help.

Beyond that, there was a third, and most important point.

Helping the Hao Tian Clan establish an enemy, driving a wedge between the relationships of the two great sects.

"You claim to be the Number One Sect in the world, yet the soul bones that burst from the body of your Sect Master after his death have all ended up in the hands of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, I wonder how that makes you feel?"

He didn't believe Ning Fengzhi could remain unmoved faced with so many soul bones; whether it was refining or not, wasn't it a slap in the face of the Hao Tian Clan?

"What? Sell them all to me?"

"This is a complete set of soul bones!"

Indeed, just as Qin Xiao had thought, Ning Fengzhi was shocked.

He hadn't expected Qin Xiao to keep not a single soul bone for himself.

Furthermore, the value of a complete set of soul bones was unknowingly much higher than the value of buying a few scattered soul bones.

He was exceedingly tempted.

"Sect Master, I always feel like this brat struck by lightning is tricking us. Let's be cautious," Sword Douluo said, putting up a Soul Power barrier and speaking to Ning Fengzhi.

"Uncle Sword, do you think I don't see his purpose?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "This is an overt scheme, yet the value of this complete set of soul bones is immense. Not to mention, with this set of soul bones left by Tang Xiao, your and Uncle Bone's soul bones will be perfected. When that happens, how much will your strength increase?

Even Uncle Bone might seize the opportunity provided by the refining of the soul bones to breakthrough the bottleneck that has troubled him for years and become a Ninety-Six Level Titled Douluo!"

"Tell me, can I remain indifferent? Even if I know this kid is digging a pitfall for us, trying to estrange us from the Hao Tian Clan, I have no choice but to buy this set of soul bones."

With Ning Fengzhi's wisdom, he naturally understood Qin Xiao's intentions, yet he still couldn't help but be moved!

"Ah, this kid's scheming is truly too profound."

Sword Douluo helplessly shook his head, not knowing what to say. However, his estimation of Qin Xiao had increased significantly.

A man with talent, strength, and such deep scheming, who could rival him in the future?

"Uncle Sword, in fact, Qin Xiao's sale of the soul bones to us, can also be seen as repaying us a favor."

"Not to mention, he could turn around and make this deal with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan or Martial Soul Hall and achieve the same effect."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi added.

Sword Douluo's brows furrowed, "So you're saying, by being used as a pawn by him, we should thank this kid instead?"

"It seems that way," Ning Fengzhi replied with a helpless smile.

....

"Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword, have you decided what to do?"

"If it's difficult or if you don't need them, then I will look for another buyer," Qin Xiao said solemnly looking at the two people secluded by the Soul Power barrier.

"Hahaha, Brother Qin, don't misunderstand. Uncle Sword and I were just discussing what kind of price would be fair to offer you," Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily after Sword Douluo removed the Soul Power barrier, reassuring Qin Xiao.

"Oh? What price do you have in mind, Sect Master Ning?" Qin Xiao asked, curious.

Ning Fengzhi stretched out three fingers, "Thirty million golden soul coins!"

"Normally, each of the soul bones in your hands would be worth more than two million, and even more so for the core bone and the skull bone; at least three million."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao smiled, "In that case, Sect Master Ning is giving me a high price."

"No," Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "The price for a complete set of soul bones sold together would certainly double. The price I'm giving you isn't high, it's just fair."
