Chapter 94: Chen Xin Notices Something Amiss

Chapter 94: Chen Xin Notices Something Amiss

For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this gem-type soul bone, though not reaching fifty thousand years of age, holds even greater value than a fifty-thousand-year-old spiritual-type soul bone.

However, the merchant did not see it that way. Both soul bones were head bones, and spiritual-type head bones are equally rare and extremely precious. Their value surpasses that of the gem-type head bone before them.

"Uncle Ning, we each take what we need. For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this soul bone should be of higher value, right?" Kong said with a smile.

When Ning Fengzhi mentioned that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed a spiritual-type head bone of around fifty thousand years, Kong was momentarily stunned. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundation should not be underestimated.

When Ning Fengzhi brought up the value of the two soul bones, Kong shook his head disdainfully. If this were a regular trade, indeed, the soul bone Ning Fengzhi mentioned would be more valuable, without a doubt.

But Kong was confident that Ning Fengzhi would choose the gem-type soul bone!

Upon hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback, his eyes briefly flashing with sharpness. Internally, he thought, "This sly fox, he's got the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect figured out!"

After a brief moment of thought, Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Haha, my dear nephew, you're right. Since that's the case, how about we seal the deal?"

With this transaction, although it seemed uneven, it would be equivalent to Kong owing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a favor. If they could make this genius owe them a favor, it wouldn't matter if they were exchanging or even giving it to him outright.

The strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't just lie in Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo but also in their ability to form strong relationships and good connections with others.

This is one of the reasons why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was able to quickly assemble a five-thousand-strong Soul Master army in such a short time.

Chen Xin, standing nearby, remained silent. Although this transaction seemed like a loss for Ning Fengzhi, he supported Ning Fengzhi's decision. Even if it were discussed in a meeting with the elders, no one would oppose Ning Fengzhi's proposal.

Kong was momentarily stunned by Ning Fengzhi's swift agreement to the trade. But after seeing the slight smiles on the faces of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, he realized they had already planned this. That additional sentence was merely to emphasize the immense value of the spiritual-type head bone. They were willing to trade because they valued the relationship with him, Kong.

Realizing this, Kong couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Old fox!" Indeed, when dealing with people like them, one wrong move and you'd be tricked. But at least he got what he wanted.

Since Ning Fengzhi was so forthcoming, perhaps a little tip-off before the Spirit Hall's actions would be appropriate.

"Thank you, Uncle Ning!" Kong cupped his hands in gratitude.

Ning Fengzhi responded with a silent smile, having already achieved his goal, and quietly stored the gem-type soul bone in his storage soul tool.

"My dear nephew, would you like the spiritual-type head bone to be handed directly to you, or should we deliver it to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Given the importance of the soul bone, Ning Fengzhi, as the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, couldn't carry it around with him. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't far from Heaven Dou City, and if Chen Xin went back to retrieve it, he'd be back in no time. But for Ning Fengzhi's safety, Chen Xin couldn't act alone.

Accepting the soul bone naturally meant that the deal was sealed. Ning Fengzhi's offer to deliver it to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was out of goodwill, implying that any issues during the delivery would be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's responsibility. Once the soul bone reached the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, how it was handled would be their business.

Another reason for the offer was that if Kong accepted the bone directly, it likely meant he intended to absorb it himself…

After pondering this, Kong replied, "Thank you, Uncle Ning. Please have your sect deliver it to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and hand it to my grandfather."

Such a valuable item, if delivered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would likely be personally escorted by Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo after Ning Fengzhi returned to the sect.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, feeling a bit disappointed. If Kong had absorbed the bone himself, he would always remember its source whenever he used it. What a pity.

After a few rounds of drinks and dishes, the three finally parted ways.

Once Kong left, Chen Xin said, "Fengzhi, this young man is worth a heavier investment!"

"Sword Uncle, what do you mean by that?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"His strength is likely beyond level sixty-two. What I sensed was at the level of a Soul Saint!"

Ning Fengzhi: "…"

He was completely stunned!

A Soul Saint—this was already on par with his own level!

"Sword Uncle, you are right."

"This time, when we deliver the soul bone to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it's about time to have a proper conversation with that old dragon."

Kong didn't expect that Ning Fengzhi would personally go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to deliver the soul bone this time!

Why let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect help deliver the soul bone? He had just left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not long ago, so returning was out of the question.

Having the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect handle it was the best choice.

As for the spiritual-type head soul bone, he originally planned to acquire one from the Spirit Hall's rewards during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. But as fate would have it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect just happened to have one!

"Should I go and visit my so-called aunt?"

Kong muttered to himself as he walked down the streets of Heaven Dou City.

The "so-called aunt" naturally referred to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy was established right within Heaven Dou City. Yes, within the city itself—this area where every inch of land was as valuable as gold.

Even Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was set up outside the city, which shows how much face the royal family gave to allow Blue Tyrant Academy to be established within Heaven Dou City.

Liu Erlong was one of the few in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who, before Kong turned six, had never mocked him. Of course, her status was rather awkward—she was the illegitimate daughter of Yu Luomian, and her martial soul wasn't even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Before she recognized her ancestry, she had no right to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so naturally, she never mocked Kong.

When Kong previously visited Heaven Dou City with Yu Yuanzhen, the old man took him to Blue Tyrant Academy once. After all, Liu Erlong was his niece, and because of the issues with Yu Xiaogang, the old man felt deeply sorry for Liu Erlong.

"Forget it, this so-called aunt is too deeply entangled in her troubles. Visiting her would just be asking for trouble."

Kong shook his head, thinking to himself.

"I still don't get what on earth Yu Xiaogang has that attracts both Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong. It's really bizarre."

Kong had never met Yu Xiaogang before, but based on the descriptions in the original work, he wasn't much to look at, with low soul power. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a failure.

But this failure had Bibi Dong thinking of him even as she was on the brink of godhood!

Isn't that just brainless...

No wonder this is called the Land of Love.

"Little brother, I see your brows are furrowed, as if you have something on your mind..."
