Zhuo Shi was angry when he saw Yali shake her head slightly and say dismissively, "So what if they use it for the soul master or the soul beast? It's their own thing anyway."
He knew Yali was right. They had the right to decide how to use the Ice and Fire Eyes when they were in the Tang Sect. Now that Anping and Gu Yuena had them, they could do whatever they wanted with the fairy grass inside. Even if they threw it away, it was none of Zhuo Shi's business.
But then Zhuo Shi remembered something and said, "If I'm not mistaken, some of the fairy grass in the Ice and Fire Eyes have turned into soul beasts, right? I heard that the things on their bodies have the same effect as the fairy grass. I wonder if we can trade for some of those?"
He brought this up because he recalled the deeds of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao from thousands of years ago. The fairy grass used by the Seven Shrek Monsters of that generation seemed to come from those soul beasts.
Yun Ming was furious when he heard Zhuo Shi's words. He said, "You're really dreaming. You know very well that those are soul beasts now. Taking things from them would mean stripping them of their essence. Do you think they would agree to that?"
He was well aware of the origin of the troubled world, but he still felt a bit reluctant and said, "Is there really no way? We can offer the four-word battle armor in exchange. Others may not know, but Boss Yunming, you must know what the four-word battle armor means, right?"
Yun Ming knew exactly what the four-word battle armor meant. Only a master craftsman could forge the metal used for the four-word battle armor, and there was only one master craftsman on Douluo Planet, and that was Zhenhua.
As the former master of the Poseidon Pavilion, Yun Ming was familiar with the close relationship between the divine craftsman Zhenhua and the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Zhuo Shi was implying that he had missed this opportunity and that he would never get the four-word battle armor from the City of Miracles.
What Zhuo Shi didn't know was that the City of Miracles had made progress in Anping's plan to create their own battle armor. Although it wasn't at the level of the four-word battle armor yet, it had already reached the level of the two-word battle armor. It was only a matter of time.
Moreover, Anping had given him a growth plan, which meant that he would become stronger and stronger as he practiced as a soul master. However, the cost of this plan was quite high, and most people couldn't afford it for now.
Yun Ming knew about these things, and he shook his head slightly. He said, "The City of Miracles has no need for the four-word battle armor, or any battle armor for that matter. So you're bound to be disappointed this time."
Zhuo Shi also remembered that when Le Zhengen introduced the division of regions in the City of Miracles, he didn't mention the Blacksmiths Association or the Designers Association.
He had thought that Zhenhua's opposition had prevented the Blacksmiths Association from contacting the City of Miracles, but he never expected that the City of Miracles had no intention of establishing such an organization.
Zhuo Shi remembered what Cai Yue'er had said, that Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan had used two weapons with the function of battle armor in the Xingluo Empire, and realized that he had chosen the wrong bargaining chip this time.
But Zhuo Shi didn't want to give up so easily. He asked, "Since the City of Miracles doesn't need battle armor, it must need something else, right? We can trade with other things. How about soul guidance technology? I'm sure Tang Sect Boss Yun Ming knows something about soul guidance technology, right?"
Yun Ming was annoyed by Zhuo Shi's persistence. He said angrily, "Didn't you hear what Ling Hongchen said today? Do you think the City of Miracles is inferior to the Tang Sect in terms of soul guidance technology? Even the most difficult space technology is no match for the Tang Sect. Why don't you go to the City of Miracles and see for yourself?"
Zhuo Shi thought about it and realized that Yun Ming was right. The soul guidance technology of the City of Miracles was indeed not worse than that of the Tang Sect, and the space technology was even far superior to the Tang Sect. They could enter the City of Miracles through the space gate, something that the Tang Sect couldn't do.
Zhuo Shi couldn't think of anything that the City of Miracles lacked, and that the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy had, so he fell silent.
Yun Ming and Yali felt a bit conflicted when they saw Zhuo Shi's silence. They knew that they were once members of Shrek Academy, and senior ones at that. If they hadn't joined the City of Miracles, they would never have imagined that anyone would have more advanced technology than the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
After a while, Zhuo Shi, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and said, "Star Battle Network! Yes! There is no Star Battle Network in the City of Miracles! If the City of Miracles is willing to exchange for fairy grass, we can open the Star Battle Network to the City of Miracles."
Yun Ming also had some understanding of the Star Battle Network. It was a system developed by the Federation for soul master battles. It was somewhat similar to the Soul Ascension Platform, but more advanced.
This technology was developed under the leadership of the Federal Military Department, in order to give the federal army a place to train troops without harming them.
The Star Battle Network could also allow soul masters who were thousands of miles away to fight. Failure would only have a certain impact on the spirit and would not endanger lives like in reality.
Moreover, the Star Battle Network had some strong development potential. If it continued to develop, it might form an existence similar to a second world.
When Zhuo Shi mentioned the Star Battle Network, Yun Ming was a bit undecided. He knew that there were many soul masters in the City of Miracles. If the City of Miracles was really connected to the Star Battle Network, it would also benefit the growth of the City of Miracles' soul masters.
Since he couldn't make up his mind, Yun Ming decided to contact Anping. It was better for Anping to make the decision on this matter. On one hand, the City of Miracles was originally built by Anping.
On the other hand, Yun Ming thought that his knowledge of soul guides was not as good as Anping's. He was not sure if there would be any traps in the Star Battle Network, so he could only ask Anping to make the decision.
Anping answered Yun Ming's call and listened to his introduction. He rejected the offer without hesitation. Yun Ming didn't hide the conversation from Zhuo Shi, so he heard Anping's words clearly.
Zhuo Shi said to Yun Ming, "Can I talk to him? Maybe he doesn't understand the value of the Star Battle Network."
Yun Ming guessed that Anping knew exactly what the Star Battle Network was, and that's why he refused so quickly.
But Yun Ming was also curious about Anping's reasons, though he didn't ask in front of Zhuo Shi.
Since Zhuo Shi insisted on trying, Yun Ming let Anping decide. As he expected, Anping had no interest in talking to Zhuo Shi.
