Chapter 89: Selling Soul Tools
"Of course we accept them!" An Ya quickly nodded. A level-nine soul tool! There are only a few in all three nations of the Douluo Continent!
"Great, then ask Xu jiu jiu how much she's willing to pay for my level-nine soul tools," Du Qianjue nodded, and with a wave of his hand, three level-nine soul tools appeared before them.
One was a level-nine one-time-use spiritual defense soul tool, another was a level-nine Thunder Annihilation soul-guided ray, and the third was a level-nine scattering soul-guided beam. These three level-nine soul tools were taken from Ye Yukong, a treasure boy, and were of little use to Du Qianjue.
In terms of attack power, most of Du Qianjue's soul skills were more powerful than these two level-nine soul tools, making them somewhat redundant. It was better to exchange them for the Dragon Pill. It would be best to directly purchase it to avoid the hassle of sneaking into the Sun Moon Empire to dig up Mingde Hall's secrets if they missed it. Plus, if Xiao Hongchen, in his impatience, absorbed the Dragon Pill directly, Du Qianjue would be in trouble. Xiao Hongchen would surely die from absorbing it since he couldn't withstand the power of the Light Holy Dragon King. If the Dragon Pill exploded while killing Xiao Hongchen, Du Qianjue would have no place to cry.
However, selling level-nine soul tools was one thing, but selling a level-nine fixed soul-guided shell, which was as powerful as an Ultimate Douluo's strike, was out of the question. Du Qianjue would keep such a powerful weapon to himself.
"Alright... I'll ask right away..." An Ya's voice trembled, her face turning pale. As a soul master with a power level in the twenties, the pressure of facing level-nine soul tools was overwhelming. She stood up shakily and left the VIP room, her ten-centimeter high heels clattering on the floor. Du Qianjue worried she might trip and fall.
"Qianjue, did you kill a level-nine soul engineer from the Sun Moon Empire?" Wei Feng asked, draping an arm over Du Qianjue's shoulder with a peculiar expression.
"Yeah, I've never seen so many level-nine soul tools in my life," Lin Weiwei nodded.
"Don't forget the level-nine fixed soul-guided shell he just showed! I think he was right; explosions are an art!" Ouyang Qian's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Du Qianjue didn't shy away and nodded naturally. "Yes, I killed a level-nine soul engineer who didn't know better and took everything he had."
"Believe me, compared to Title Douluo, level-nine soul engineers are much richer. I killed one and instantly became wealthy."
"I wish..." Yang Lian began but was cut off by Wei Feng.
"No, you don't!" Wei Feng smacked Yang Lian on the back of the head. "Are you looking to die? Do you think you can handle a level-nine soul engineer? How many lives do you have to even consider it?"
"Heh, I was just joking," Yang Lian said, rubbing his nose awkwardly.
But soon, he joined the others in surrounding the three level-nine soul tools, eyes shining with excitement. After all, level-nine soul tools were rare, and this might be their only chance to see them up close.
Du Qianjue didn't mind and let them observe. Unlike a level-nine fixed soul-guided shell, level-nine soul tools were not dangerous unless actively used with soul power.
Not long after, Xu jiu jiu hurried to the door of the VIP room and knocked.
"Come in," Wei Feng called.
Xu jiu jiu, in her golden dress, walked in eagerly, her high heels clicking on the floor. "Which guest wishes to sell level-nine soul tools?" she asked gracefully, her blue-violet eyes sparkling like starlight.
Up close, Xu jiu jiu's beauty was even more striking, like a precious jewel, though not as stunning as the Snow Empress.
"It's me," Du Qianjue stepped forward.
"These three?" Xu jiu jiu smiled, her eyes curving enchantingly.
The soul power fluctuations of the three level-nine soul tools were evident. The spiritual defense soul tool aside, the other two were quite large. The level-nine Thunder Annihilation soul-guided ray was like an RPG with a barrel as thick as a thigh and almost 1.6 meters long, covered in blue-violet lightning patterns. The level-nine scattering soul-guided beam was a multifaceted diamond-shaped metal piece with no seams, which would open up to emit powerful beams when used.
Du Qianjue explained the functions of the three soul tools, and Xu jiu jiu listened carefully, appraising them in her mind.
"The spiritual defense soul tool, we can offer fifteen million gold soul coins. It's a one-time use, so the price is lower," Xu jiu jiu said.
"The Thunder Annihilation is sixty million, and the scattering beam is forty-five million, totaling 120 million gold soul coins. What do you think?"
Du Qianjue thought for a moment and nodded. The price was fair. While there had never been a sale of level-nine soul tools in the three Douluo nations, there were in the Sun Moon Empire. Considering that Xu jiu jiu didn't mention a 30% handling fee, the price was acceptable.
"As fellow Douluo nations, the princess wouldn't charge me a 30% handling fee, right?" Du Qianjue asked with a smile.
Just in case, he wanted to confirm. A 30% fee on 120 million was 36 million gold soul coins, a sum Du Qianjue wouldn't let the Star Luo Empire profit from.
Xu jiu jiu rolled her eyes playfully and hummed. "Of course not."
"Good. But let me clarify, if I win the bid, I'll use these three level-nine soul tools as payment. Otherwise, I won't sell them," Du Qianjue reminded her.
"Naturally, that's fine," Xu jiu jiu, although a bit disappointed, agreed.
After finalizing the estimate, Xu jiu jiu left to continue hosting the auction, unable to stay longer.
