Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 147 Trading
"Teacher Xuan, shall we make a deal?"

After swiping the door open, Huo Yuhao went straight to the point, sending a mental sharing message to Xuan Ziwen, who was engrossed in working amidst a pile of abandoned formations.

Faced with such a vast difference in their spiritual abilities, Xuan Ziwen didn't even have time to look up and reply before his senses were instantly swallowed up by the metal before him.

"Ugh?"

Xuan Ziwen, whose eyes were just bloodshot, suddenly changed his expression. His listless spirit vanished in an instant, and the carving knife in his hand seemed to be seizing this hard-won opportunity, leaving afterimages.

As the metal fragments gradually scattered, the fluctuations of his mental and soul power stabilized and diminished, while a stable aura slowly formed within the metal block in front of him.

"Snapped."

In just over twenty minutes, Xuan Ziwen completed the final touch, completely connecting the complex array patterns before him: "It's simply... absolutely perfect!"

What were intricate patterns that would make an ordinary person dizzy, he saw as something far more beautiful than a lover, and he was so moved that he almost lost control and burst into tears.

Three weeks!

The nested array in front of him had stumped him for three whole weeks, and he had poured countless materials, time and energy into it without success. But now, he had succeeded in less than half an hour.

Having successfully connected the array in one go, it's only a matter of time before he completely masters it... Even if he tries to imitate it from memory, his success rate will greatly increase!

"You did all of that just now?"

Xuan Ziwen's voice was almost hoarse, and coupled with his pale complexion from days of suffering, he sounded quite neurotic: "A domain that can penetrate deep into metal and provide constant feedback on minute scales and subtle movements?"

Although he was only a Soul Master, his understanding of Soul Masters was not entirely blank.

He had never even heard of such an incredible skill!

With such a powerful effect, he couldn't think of any other possibility besides those rare and powerful domain soul skills.

"more or less."

Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted for a moment before he steered the conversation to the main topic: "This is the deal I mentioned earlier—you provide the money, the materials, and the effort, while I will maintain my skills to support your research. How about it?"

Contributing money, goods, and even labor?
That's all?
Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.

He really didn't expect that the conditions proposed by the other party would be so simple... there weren't even any additional conditions such as joining a certain force or working independently with him.

This was clearly a perfect time to make exorbitant demands, but the way they're doing this...

'Could this be a trap?'

Thinking of this, Xuan Ziwen immediately asked with some wariness, "What is the specific price? For example, if I want to exchange money for your blessing, how many gold soul coins would I need to pay?"

"This is it~"

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then extended his index finger with some hesitation: "Ten thousand gold soul coins..."

“…One minute?”

Xuan Ziwen tentatively continued the sentence, his brows gradually furrowing.

However, just as he was struggling with his decision, his shocking words startled Huo Yuhao so much that he swallowed back the word 'one hour' he was about to say.

Ten thousand per minute?
How could he possibly offer such an inhuman price!
But listening to Xuan Ziwen's words, Huo Yuhao also felt that the price of one hour was too low, and that he could probably make a profit even if he doubled the price.

“How should I put it…”

After a few seconds of frantic thinking, Huo Yuhao offered what he considered a reasonable price: "The normal price is ten minutes. But since you're my team leader, I'll make it 10,000 gold soul coins for twenty minutes!"

"hiss--"

Upon receiving this result, Xuan Ziwen was instantly struck dumb, swaying as he slumped back into his seat, speechless for a long time. 'This? Was the price too high?'

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered, and he was about to suggest lowering the gear by another level, but Xuan Ziwen, who suddenly slammed his hand on the table, cut him off first.

"Huo Yuhao...you don't need to say anything more!"

Xuan Ziwen gripped his hand tightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and excitement: "From now on, anything that I, Xuan Ziwen, can do, just ask!"

Is 10,000 gold soul coins a lot?

Even the lowest-priced level 7 soul tool costs around 200,000! And special equipment like the milk bottle, which is both rare and in high demand, can fetch a sky-high price of 4 million at level 7!
Unfortunately~
Xuan Ziwen is one of the people in Mingdetang who has the deepest research on baby bottles. Give him a week and he can make at least ten baby bottles that meet the level seven requirement.

If a small number of high-end baby bottles were to accidentally leak out of the country and fall into the hands of those despicable forces in the three countries, it wouldn't be a dream to exchange one for six or seven million.

"We only received less than one-twentieth of the profit..."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who seemed inexplicably dazed, Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but sigh at his kind heart.

Honestly, I haven't seen such a conscientious person in many years.

……

"Are Soul Masters really that rich?"

After sitting in the research room in a daze for a long time, Huo Yuhao slowly started to turn his almost stiff mind.

Upon receiving the offer, Xuan Ziwen immediately handed over three million gold soul coins, nearly doubling the value of his savings.

In addition, he promised to provide Huo Yuhao with a low-energy flight wing that was close to level eight, with any style to choose from.

I'm not exchanging time; I'm just here to make friends!

"Wake up..."

Tianmeng sighed in the sea of ​​spirit, feeling that the thirteen-year-old boy she was inhabiting had suffered too many shocks and it was time for him to recover.

"Feel sorry."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his face vigorously: "I really didn't expect that someone would pay by the ton."

That means it's stored inside a soul storage device. If they were to actually take out all those gold coins, they'd be enough to kill him.

"However, upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem like that many."

After a long period of shock, Huo Yuhao gradually regained his composure: "The price of a ten-thousand-year soul bone generally starts at a million, and a few extremely powerful ones can sell for tens of millions..."

In the face of power, money is just a number.

"Furthermore, the most precious thing right now has nothing to do with money, but rather—"

Huo Yuhao glanced intently at Xuan Ziwen, who was completely focused on engraving the array: "Human."

After initial negotiations, Xuan Ziwen readily agreed to take care of more than ten students, including Jing Ziyan, who had already been recruited by him to teach, to serve as tutors for those holy servants.

One of them is a rare genius researcher, one of the few in the entire Mingdetang.

One is a versatile Soul Mentor who would rather be stuck at a certain level than not reach the sixth level in all technical fields.

It has a solid foundation and the ability to make breakthroughs.

"Now... Nana and the others should be able to grow up quickly, right? At the very least, they should be able to graduate quickly."
