Douluo: Blue Lightning Dominates the World, Fist Douluo

Chapter 115 The Rich Dog is Really Rich
"Sect Master Yu, could this thing be the Zhuge Divine Crossbow?"

Upon seeing the strange black box that Yu Yuanzhen had taken out, Ning Fengzhi immediately recognized its name.

Yu Yuanzhen was taken aback: "Sect Master Yu knows about this little gadget?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded: "I have long admired your name and long yearned to visit you."

“A few days ago, when Rongrong came home, she mentioned this new type of soul tool that she remembered vividly. She said that it was developed by the master of your sect after many years of hard work. It does not require soul power to activate, but its power is quite remarkable.”

"To be honest, one of the reasons I've come to bother you is to purchase a batch of Zhuge crossbows for my disciples to use for self-defense."

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly realized that Ning Fengzhi had also misunderstood and had pinned the research and development of this thing on Yu Xiaogang.

In fact, he only learned about the Zhuge Divine Crossbow a few days ago.

If Yu Tianlin hadn't shown it to him so he could do business with Ning Fengzhi, he wouldn't have known such a little gadget existed.

One loading can only activate it three times. After three times, it becomes completely useless and there is simply no time to reload it in a short period of time.

Its effective range is only fifty meters, and it needs to be used unexpectedly to exert its full power.

If the opponent is prepared, it may only pose a threat to Soul Masters below the third ring, while Soul Masters with the fourth ring can be basically immune.

It is cumbersome to reload, has strict usage conditions, has a medium attack range, and is slightly weak in power.

To be honest, the Zhuge Crossbow was completely useless to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As a Soul Master, with his terrifying power, even a heavy bow he wields is more powerful than the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

It's likely that only support-type Soul Masters like those from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who lack self-defense capabilities, would be interested in it.

But as long as I can make money, nothing else matters.

"Haha, since Sect Master Ning knows, then there's no need for me to waste my breath introducing it. Let's get straight to the inspection process."

As he spoke, Yu Yuanzhen casually tossed the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand to Ning Fengzhi and explained how to operate it.

After just a brief try, Ning Fengzhi developed a great interest in it.

Although the filling process is cumbersome, its advantage lies in its rapid activation.

Although its usage conditions are demanding, its advantages lie in its small size and discreetness.

Although its attack range is moderate and its power is slightly weak, it is more than enough for self-defense and survival.

It's at least much stronger than the attack power of those support-type Soul Masters, so it's perfectly fine for emergency situations.

After just a brief handling, Ning Fengzhi fell in love with it and held it in his hands, reluctant to put it down.

"Sect Master Yu, I really like this item. Name your price."

Yu Yuanzhen pretended to think, then, following Yu Tianlin's suggestion, he held up two fingers without saying a word, just making the gesture.

Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately beamed with joy.

"Alright, two hundred gold soul coins it is. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will order ten thousand of them first, along with five hundred thousand matching arrows. If they work well, we will continue to place additional orders later."

Ning Fengzhi agreed extremely readily, immediately handing over two purple gold soul cards, each with a fixed deposit of one million gold soul coins.

Yu Yuanzhen was stunned. The bottom line he and Yu Tianlin had agreed on was fifteen gold soul coins per arrow, with arrows and repairs to be charged separately.

All the miscellaneous items added together, at most twenty gold soul coins would be a good price.

After all, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was just an outer hidden weapon of the Tang Clan in Tang Xiaosan's previous life, something that almost everyone had, and it wasn't expensive to make.

Even though the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan mixed in some special metals that shielded soul power and mental power to prevent others from dismantling it, the total cost of all materials plus labor was less than 3 gold soul coins.

A seven-fold profit was already enough for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to make a small fortune. Who would have thought that Ning Fengzhi would ask for two hundred gold soul coins per weapon, leaving Yu Yuanzhen speechless.

"Ha, hahaha, Sect Master Ning is so magnanimous. In that case, my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will naturally not be ambiguous either."

"How about this, to celebrate the success of our first collaboration, my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan will forgo any profit from this order. I'll decide that the 500,000 arrows will be given to your clan for free."

"Of course, this is only for the first cooperation. For subsequent cooperation, Sect Master Ning will still need to pay an additional fee for arrows."

Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily and said, "Of course, of course, that's how it should be."

Yu Yuanzhen was happy, and Ning Fengzhi was happy too.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow, capable of threatening a three-ring Soul Master within fifty meters and even severely injuring a four-ring Soul Master with a surprise attack, is undoubtedly an excellent life-saving weapon for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After all, there aren't that many powerful Soul Masters in the world.

Two-ring Soul Masters are called "Master" in the common people, three-ring Soul Venerables can even become barons in the kingdom and become nobles, and four-ring Soul Grandmasters can become city lords even in the Heaven Dou Empire.

As for the five-ring Soul Kings and six-ring Soul Emperors, they are all prominent figures in their respective regions, and some of the more famous ones can even make a name for themselves across the continent.

For example, Zhao Wuji and the Golden Iron Triangle twenty years ago, they were only six-ring Soul Emperors at that time.

There are only about three thousand seven-ring Soul Saints on the entire continent, and there are probably less than two hundred eight-ring Soul Douluos and nine-ring Title Douluos combined.

Therefore, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which is entirely a disadvantage for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, is basically an advantage for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

Moreover, this life-saving weapon can be purchased with just a common item like Gold Soul Coins.

A mere two hundred gold soul coins for a weapon is only enough for the Spirit Hall to provide a two-month subsidy to a three-ring Soul Master.

At such a low price, Ning Fengzhi even felt that Yu Yuanzhen was doing charity.

Even Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but marvel at how wealthy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly was.

The title "wealthy enough to rival a nation" is no joke.

Two million gold soul coins, taken without hesitation.

It should be noted that 1 gold soul coin = 100 silver soul coins = 10000 bronze soul coins. One gold soul coin is enough to support a family of three in a commoner family for three months.

Yu Tianlin slaughtered more than 3,000 bandits in the Kingdom of Kark some time ago. Even though there was a seventh-ring Soul Saint and three sixth-ring Soul Emperors among them, he only received a bounty of several hundred thousand gold soul coins.

The King of the Kark Kingdom is trying to renege on his debt of just this small amount of gold soul coins.

Therefore, it is clear that two million gold soul coins is no small sum of money.

If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wants to come up with so many gold soul coins all at once, they'll probably have to live a frugal life for a few days.

At the very least, the cultivation resources for sect disciples will be visibly reduced by a significant amount.

But in the eyes of the wealthy and powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

It truly proves the saying: one doesn't know how poor the other is, and the other doesn't know how rich the other is.

Having witnessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's financial strength, the subsequent negotiations proceeded much more smoothly.

Subsequently, under Ning Fengzhi's eloquent negotiation skills, Yu Yuanzhen accepted his earlier suggestion without much thought.

The two sides quickly reached an initial cooperation agreement, achieving a strategic win-win situation.

Starting today, each of the two sides' advanced soul master academies will send a team of exchange students to the other academy to discuss, learn from each other, and make progress together.

To show his sincerity, Ning Fengzhi generously offered to cover all expenses incurred during the process.
