Douluo: Take my dragon vein? Lock your cultivation, why are you crying?

Chapter 83 Price
Blacksmiths Guild Branch,

Lou Gao and another strong man sat opposite each other.

"One million gold soul coins. I want this branch of the association. Stop talking nonsense."

Lou Gao generously slapped the gold soul coin on the table and asked for a huge amount of money.
Another middle-aged man held his forehead in his hand and said speechlessly, "Lou Gao, are you here to show off your wealth, or are you old and confused? This is originally a branch of the Blacksmith Association, why did you spend money to buy it?"

Lou Gao said slowly, "Ken Er, I am no longer a member of the Blacksmith Association. I am the vice president of the Soul Instructor Association. I came here to purchase a branch as a temporary headquarters."

"Soul master?"

"He is someone who can forge soul guides and use them in combat. I just found out about this not long ago."

Ken Er was stunned. "You finally figured out how to make a soul guide?"

"That's about the same," Lou Gao said vaguely. Su Chen had previously instructed them not to mention anything about him.

Although the answer was not clear, it confirmed that soul guides could be made. Kener was overjoyed and moved closer to Lou Gao. "Old Gao, when we met, you were not yet the president. If it weren't for my help, I'm afraid..."

Lou Gao quickly waved his hand to stop him, "Stop talking nonsense, join the Soul Guidance Association, and I can share the knowledge about soul guides with you."

Kener choked up, not everyone is like Lou Gao, who can give up power and fame at will. He has spent almost half his life fighting for the position in the Blacksmith Association, and it is a bit of a pity to give it up and bet on an unknown force.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Lou Gao did not say much. Everyone has their own choice.

"If you want to join, just come find me anytime. Let's not talk about this for now. Are you willing to sell me 100 million gold soul coins? If you do, I'll pay for it right now."

"The price is reasonable..." Kener hesitated. The branch was just more expensive in terms of land. As for rearranging the forge, it wouldn't cost much either. A total of 600,000 or 700,000 yuan would be enough. However, it would definitely take a month or so to rebuild.

The key point is that he is just a branch manager, and the branch does not belong to him, so he certainly cannot just sell it.

He stood up and said to Lou Gaohuan, "I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I'll write an application to the headquarters and wait for their approval."

Lou Gao spread his hands and said, "What headquarters? Is there a position higher than mine in the headquarters? You write the application and I'll sign it."

Kenel responded in surprise, "Aren't you going to join another association?"

"The handover ceremony hasn't officially started yet, and I'm still the president. Stop talking nonsense and bring the application over quickly."

Lou Gao said fearlessly that he was going to leave the Blacksmith Guild anyway, so even if there were complaints it had nothing to do with him, and it would be nice to experience the privileges of the president before leaving.

"Okay." Kener agreed with a wry smile and handed the application to Lou Gao.

After signing his name, Lou Gao didn't waste any time and directly threw out a coin card with one million gold soul coins. "If you don't want to join the Soul Instructor Association, please remember to promote it for me. Those who join the Soul Instructor Association now will receive 5000 gold soul coins a month for blacksmiths, 10000 gold soul coins for master blacksmiths, and 50000 gold soul coins for grandmaster blacksmiths. This is just the basic subsidy." "............Awesome." Kener was choked with words and silently gave a thumbs up.

One gold soul coin is enough for an average family's annual expenses. There are quite a few blacksmiths and master blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Association. Any old blacksmith who has been forging for a long time can basically reach this level, and 50,000 or 10,000 gold soul coins will definitely make them excited.
They can only sell one piece of equipment for a few dollars, and they have to deduct the cost of materials. The basic conditions proposed by Lou Gao are enough for them to earn money for a few months.

Fifty thousand gold soul coins a month is a small amount for a grandmaster. That's six hundred thousand gold soul coins a year. Kener, a grandmaster blacksmith, was a little hesitant when he heard this condition.

After Kener sold the blacksmith branch and after Lou Gao offered conditions, most of the blacksmiths chose to stay. They had no status or foundation at the headquarters anyway, so they might as well go to a new place where they could make money.

Soon, under Lou Gao's command, the Blacksmith Association's shop sign was taken down and replaced with the "Soul Instructor Association".

At this moment, Su Chen and his companions also arrived at the new location.
Under Lou Gao's command, the newly recruited blacksmiths have begun to work enthusiastically. Because most of the blacksmiths are not familiar with soul guides, Lou Gao certainly cannot teach them one by one, so he simply disassembled each part of the soul guide and made the important parts himself.

The efficiency of the assembly line is indeed high. Everyone has their own division of labor and can specialize in one thing, so mistakes are less likely to occur.

Seeing Su Chen coming in person, Lou Gao hurried to greet him, "President, it has been done. The first batch of soul guides will be forged soon. This is the first time that soul guides are mass-produced. When it happens, it will surely shock the entire soul master world!"

With high wages, most blacksmiths were very enthusiastic about their work. At the same time, they also wanted to witness the so-called historical moment. The forging process of soul guides had been lost for many years. If it could be reproduced, they would be considered one of the participants.

Of course, another group of people in the Blacksmith Association are not optimistic. They think that the so-called Soul Instructor Association is just a facade and will disappear soon. Naturally, they will not give up the position they have maintained for a long time.

"Well, very good. The first batch of 500 soul guides will be sent to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect." Su Chen said. After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the financial sponsor and cannot be completely ignored.

Lou Gao was stunned for a moment, then asked seriously, "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? President, aren't you from the Spirit Hall?"

After Su Chen took out the elder token, he always regarded it as the Spirit Hall. With the financial resources of the Spirit Hall, it could easily support millions of gold soul coins.

Su Chen explained softly, "Not at the moment. The Soul Instructor Association and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect are in a cooperative relationship."

Qibao Glazed Sect?
Lou Gao also thought it was reasonable. After all, everyone in the world knew that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was rich. It was said that the treasury was full of gold soul coins, so it was normal for Su Chen to be so generous.

"What is the price of the soul guide?"

Su Chen said leisurely, "One soul guide costs 1000 gold soul coins."

"1000 gold soul coins? The price offered by the president... is too low..." Lou Gao scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
At least for now, doesn’t any soul guide that is somewhat useful cost thousands or tens of thousands of gold soul coins?
Although the protective shield of their soul guide can only resist attacks at the soul master level, it should be known that the number of soul masters is already very rare, and they can serve as the position of centurion in the army.

In Lou Gao's opinion, even if this soul guide was sold for five thousand gold soul coins, it would definitely not be expensive. Those so-called aristocratic sects would definitely buy it for the safety of their core disciples. To them, five thousand gold soul coins were indeed not a big number.
