Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

Chapter 309: Cooperation is reached, the soul's special soul skills (4k)

Even if we put aside the soul, Xu Jiujiu also attaches great importance to the Soul Transferring Tower.

But when it comes to such a huge transaction of gold soul coins, even if the Star Luo Emperor comes in person, there must be a back-and-forth discussion.

With Xu Jiujiu's identity, she naturally would not make a decision easily. She has to be responsible for the country and the royal family.

Therefore, even though she realized that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow had a very high cost-effectiveness, she, who was well versed in negotiation, did not immediately agree to cooperate, but subconsciously wanted to try to pull it off.

Bargaining is reasonable.

Of course, Xu Jiujiu will know when to stop.

It was obvious that the relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek was extremely close.

Even Xu Jiujiu suspected that the Spirit Pagoda was the spokesperson put forward by Shrek Academy in order to do things that Shrek Academy could not interfere with.

This time, her main purpose of going to Shrek's inner courtyard to study, in addition to establishing a good relationship with Huo Yuhao, was to achieve in-depth cooperation with Shrek, or even form an alliance with it.

If the Sun-Moon Empire were to start a war in the future, the Star Luo Empire would inevitably bear the brunt and would have no way to avoid it. If it could advance and retreat together with Shrek, it would also be able to get support from powerful soul masters.

However, when she heard that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow did not require a soul master to control it, the already tilted balance in Xu Jiujiu's heart immediately fell completely.

This is really important to the Xingluo Empire.

We must seize this fixed soul guide that can change the war situation on the continent!
Her breathing quickened, and her beautiful blue eyes stared at Huo Yuhao.

Feeling the burning gaze, Huo Yuhao didn’t keep it a secret anymore.

He took a few steps forward and came to the base of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. He pressed a spot and a metal box popped out. He began to introduce it:
"This is the soul power charging structure built into the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. When using this soul guide, you can put a bottle in here and use it directly. At least a level 4 bottle is required. A soul guide can also manually inject soul power through the left side of the base to operate it."

Xu Jiujiu thought thoughtfully, "In other words, this Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon can be operated by ordinary people with a milk bottle?"

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "But it would be difficult for an ordinary person to change the magazine. It requires a bit more strength, and it would be best if you are a trained warrior."

“That’s really good value for money.”

Xu Jiujiu understood and stared at Huo Yuhao, "No wonder your Spiritual Pagoda dares to sell it at the price of a sixth-level soul guide when it is only made of the materials of a fourth-level soul guide."

Among the soul guides of the same level below level seven, the value of the milk bottle has always been the highest, because of its extremely high strategic value, it can be called the second energy source for soul masters.

Unexpectedly, the Soul Transferring Tower actually used it on fixed-type soul guides. It was truly an eye-opening method.

Good strategy, I copied it.

At this moment, she had forgotten that she was actually a member of the Spirit Pagoda and had completely assumed the identity of Princess Xingluo.

Leaning on the sofa, Xu Jiujiu's brain started working rapidly. He crossed his hands and his thumbs moved up and down involuntarily.

Huo Yuhao struck while the iron was hot and said:

"There are two points I want to remind you of. First, in order to keep the technology confidential, there is a self-destruct device inside the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. If anyone tries to dismantle it, it will explode. Please be careful, Your Highness."

Then, he took out a uniquely shaped milk bottle that looked like a cannonball from his storage ring and added:

"Secondly, considering that the soul power stored in the milk bottle will gradually lose over time, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow also supports the use of sealed milk bottles. This is the latest achievement of Mingde Hall. The soul power stored in the sealed milk bottle will no longer be lost."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao handed the bottle in his hand to Xu Jiujiu.

After taking over this peculiar sealed bottle which weighed at least twice as much as an ordinary level six bottle, Xu Jiujiu immediately realized that the material used in this bottle was not ordinary.

But she was more shocked by its function, "Are you serious?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. “We in the Spirit Pagoda have also mastered this technique. We will let the Titled Douluo who is protecting you go outside and test it out.”

Just at this moment, a figure appeared silently behind Xu Jiujiu.

"Truly a hero comes from a boy."

The speaker was an old woman who looked to be over 80 years old, with white hair and beard, and wearing a long red dress.

The old woman's name is Xu Manyi. She is a long-established strongman in the Xingluo Empire. She has the spirit Nebula Fan, the title Nebula, and is a level 94 Titled Douluo strongman.

With Huo Yuhao's strength, he had already noticed the princess's personal bodyguard.

Huo Yuhao suggested: "How about letting this Nebula Douluo carefully experiment with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the sealed milk bottle? I will take you to fuse the soul first, and then we can discuss the follow-up cooperation matters."

After looking for a long time, the old woman in the red dress gave a questioning look.

After a long pause, he looked towards the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and handed over the sealed bottle of milk in his hand, "Grandma Manyi, I'm going to trouble you."

"Okay, I'll take it outside to test it."

Manyi nodded, activated the storage soul guide device, and left with the two soul guide devices.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, Xu Jiujiu seemed to have thought of something, and a complex light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Although she usually worked in the Weapon Hall, she had no access to the real core technology of the Soul Transmission Tower. At most, she relied on her own soul skills such as Star Guardian to test some things that combined hidden weapons and soul guides.

Most of them are good-looking but not practical.

And today, she really broadened her horizons.

What a great Zhuge divine crossbow, what a great sealed milk bottle!

This Spirit Transferring Tower is definitely synonymous with Shrek Academy.

Unexpectedly, the Xingluo Empire's research on soul guides not only lags behind the Sun-Moon Empire, but also lags behind Shrek Academy.

During her one year of study in Shrek Inner Academy, she deliberately approached Meng Hongchen in order to observe the top combat power level of the new generation of the Sun Moon Empire.

In the previous Soul Master Competition, although the Hong Chen siblings only appeared a few times and were ruthlessly crushed by Huo Yuhao, this can only be attributed to the fact that Huo Yuhao was too abnormal and the Hong Chen siblings had no problem fighting.

Just relying on their martial soul fusion skills, they are undoubtedly the most noteworthy enemies of the future empire.

It is also in the process of gathering intelligence.

Xu Jiujiu gradually changed his opinion of the granddaughter of the Red Dust Hall Master, and their relationship was one of mutual promotion and common progress.

By now, she has abandoned the prejudice brought about by her position and has become a close friend of Meng Hongchen.

All I can say is that young people always get together because of temporary common interests.

However, every time Xu Jiujiu heard Meng Hongchen thinking about Huo Yuhao, he still felt helpless and amused.

That guy even took it upon himself to establish something with me, a united front in pursuit of Huo Yuhao, and agreed to help each other in the future and fight against other thieving cats who coveted Huo Yuhao.

It's really a bit difficult to hold back.

But it would be nice if it could continue like this.

Such a carefree time.

Continental War.

It seems out of reach, but in fact it is very close.

Looking at Xu Jiujiu who was full of emotion, Huo Yuhao coughed and reminded him:

"Let's go, next we have the soul you've been thinking about." "Okay."

……

Hosted by Huo Yuhao.

The process of signing the soul contract went extremely smoothly.

And because of the special compatibility between the Star Crown Martial Soul and the soul beast named Star Silver Beast, with the active cooperation of the soul spirit, it not only brought Xu Jiujiu a sixth soul ring of nearly 40,000 years, but also fortunately produced a precious soul bone.

Even after this soul ritual, Xu Jiujiu's soul power level jumped to level 64, and the years of the previous soul rings were also improved.

The second soul ring directly transformed from a yellow hundred years to a purple thousand years, which was undoubtedly a huge improvement.

"Souls are definitely something that can change the current soul master system!"

She was so convinced that her eyes sparkled.

After she actually signed the contract with the spirit, she realized that what she learned from books was not enough.

As one of the first people to try something new, she is already ahead of the times!

Huo Yuhao could also see Xu Jiujiu’s excitement.

It is a bit similar to how Tianmeng's spiritual origin can help increase the lifespan of one's soul ring. The current soul contract can also achieve a similar effect, and the efficiency will vary depending on the soul's compatibility and the influence of attributes.

However, this will affect the quantity and quality of the spirit rings subsequently granted, which can be said to be a trade-off.

Moreover, the soul spirit does not actually require the soul master’s soul power to reach a bottleneck before signing a contract with it.

It mainly depends on whether the soul master's mental power can reach the level of carrying the soul.

At the beginning, Ma Xiaotao signed a soul contract with Cockscomb Phoenix in advance, and even used this soul to gradually upgrade her seventh soul ring of the Red Flame Golden Phoenix, which was only 60,000 years old, to a hundred thousand years.

Even in this way, a special 100,000-year soul skill was added to the soul of the cockscomb and phoenix.

Although the seventh soul ring of a soul master can only be the true form of his martial soul.

However, as long as the soul ring of the soul is absorbed, for the soul, this additional seventh soul skill will be directly attached to the soul, so that the soul will have an additional special soul skill when it is not using the soul's true body.

Even if the soul master cannot directly perform that soul skill himself, the soul spirit can help him perform it, which is almost equivalent to having an extra soul skill.

It is a bit like Tianmeng's life reflection shield that can rebound physical and mental attacks, which is a special soul skill that exists independently of Lingmou's first soul ring.

Back to the reception room again.

Nebula Douluo has completed the test and is waiting here.

Noticing the changes in Xu Jiujiu's soul power and mental strength, a hint of surprise flashed in Manyi's eyes.

Afterwards, she told Xu Jiujiu about the test results of the two soul guides and said that the results were very good.

Xu Jiujiu leaned elegantly on the sofa and said, "Yuhao, if we want to purchase in bulk, can we get a discount?"

“I’m afraid not.” Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Although your purchase volume will not be low, the current production capacity of the Spiritual Transmission Tower Hall is not enough, and there are still some limitations in production capacity."

Not everyone has his talent for soul guides.

Even if they follow the instructions, there are still only a few soul masters in the Spirit Pagoda who can independently manufacture the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Moreover, the Zhuge Divine Crossbows produced previously have not had time to be updated.

This Zhuge magic crossbow that is suitable for sealing milk bottles was modified by him not long ago before he left Mingde Hall.

Of course, this process is not difficult.

After all, when Huo Yuhao was manufacturing the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, he had already considered the possibility of adapting it to sealed baby bottles in the future, and left room for modification in advance.

The key is still to seal the bottle.

Who would still care about milk bottles when there are sealed milk bottles?
After all, the current time point is nearly two years earlier than the original work. Even with Huo Yuhao's help, the sealing project that Xuan Ziwen was responsible for was barely completed.

Therefore, no one had time to familiarize themselves with the production drawings that Huo Yuhao gave them.

Most importantly, the materials used to make sealed baby bottles are actually quite scarce.

We can't expect the Lingwang Chamber of Commerce to bear all of this on its own, right?
Huo Yuhao wanted to transfer the pressure of material shortage to other forces on the mainland.

After all, more than 70% of the rare metals on the continent were monopolized by the Sun-Moon Empire and stored as strategic materials. Even if Mingde Hall wanted to use some for research, it would need approval from the royal family and the military.

This was also the reason why Huo Yuhao’s extortion last time caused other Sun and Moon nobles to ignore the safety of the Sun and Moon Academy exchange students in Shrek and hired the Holy Spirit Cult to kill Huo Yuhao.

Even the Sun-Moon Empire felt a little painful when paying for those rare metals.

After that, after some discussion, the final form of cooperation was finalized.

The Xingluo Empire can use gold soul coins and rare metals of equal value required by the Spirit Tower to exchange for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Every month, the Spirit Communication Tower would supply the Xing Luo Empire with at least fifty Zhuge Divine Crossbows and matching sealed milk bottles.

We will supply as much as possible if production capacity permits.

The Xing Luo Empire has the priority to purchase soul guides from the Spirit Communication Tower. Any subsequent partners must first meet the needs of the Xing Luo Empire before being considered.

Then comes the process of negotiating the details of the contract.

It took nearly three hours to finally complete it.

In the original novel, Huo Gua also reached a cooperation with the Tianhun Empire.

But that was done through Princess Vina of the Sky Soul Empire. Now at Shrek, there is no such a good opportunity to complete the cooperation in one go.

After all, Huo Yuhao and Vina had no intersection in this life.

Of course, he would not let go of this suitable seller.

When the time comes, just ask the Spirit Pagoda to send someone over to notify them.

Moreover, with the appearance of Zhuge's divine crossbow in the Xingluo army, it will certainly alert the Tianhun Empire in the same camp.

Money is not the point; rare metals are what’s important.

Although most of the sects and academies in the Tianhun Empire do not attach importance to the development of soul guides.

But even if we can't manufacture it, we will still use it.

Especially in the military.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Compared with traditional soul masters, soul guides are undoubtedly more effective in military combat.

Faced with the threat from the neighboring Sun-Moon Empire, the Sky Soul Empire will still purchase suitable soul guides to defend its territory.

Besides, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is not a traditional soul guide device. A war soul guide device that can be used by ordinary people is definitely a strategic-level weapon.

Finally, Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao again and said:
"Yuhao, I wonder if you are satisfied with the way the Xingluo Empire dealt with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?"
