Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Dongfang Qingcang, Unrivaled in the Mortal World

Chapter 43: A broken rock sold for 200,000 gold soul coins?

The next morning at dawn, the golden rooster crowed.

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang, a master of wisdom, changed into a clean set of clothes and was carrying some nice things in his hand.

Even Dean Flander was somewhat surprised, after all, in this world where people never change their clothes, it was already quite an achievement for him to be able to change into a new outfit.

"Xiaogang, why are you up so early? Is something the matter?"

Flanders asked, his face full of confusion.

The master smoothed the wrinkles from the hem of his clothes, looked at his aged shoulders in the mirror, then turned to the side and said indifferently, "I plan to go to Dongfang Qingcang's residence. We made a mistake last time, and I have already figured out how to explain this time."

He was very confident in his "explanation," believing that he could solve problems with his brain, and that someone as reckless as Flanders and Liu Erlong would naturally not be able to understand it.

Liu Erlong, who had a curvaceous figure, was also a little troubled. She said softly, "Xiao Gang, why don't we give up? We don't want to lose both our wife and our army."

"Erlong, you don't understand."

The master spoke with a firm expression: "As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. If we're not sincere, how can Shrek Academy become the strongest advanced soul master academy in the future?"

"Besides, the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is just around the corner, and I am doing this for the sake of the Shrek Academy disciples."

The master stared intently at Liu Erlong and Flander, believing that as long as he was sincere, eloquent, and possessed unparalleled wisdom and knowledge, he would surely be able to persuade the Eastern Venerable to join Shrek Academy.

After all, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, was once captivated by his theoretical knowledge and was even hailed as the man on the Douluo Continent with the greatest chance of understanding God.

The master was very concerned about this.

Flanders's perspective on the master changed.

In the past, one might have felt sorry for Xiao Gang, a great soul master.

But as time went on, he discovered that Xiaogang seemed to have delusions.

Not everyone is willing to understand his martial soul theory. Apart from Tang San, probably not many people can listen to it.

After all, most of his martial soul theories are nonsense. Everyone knows their own martial soul level, so what's the point of the master's martial soul theories?

It's just gilding the lily.

Meaningless.

I reckon only that crazy woman, Bibi Dong, could stand it.

Liu Erlong breathed out a fragrant breath, biting her lip lightly, and glanced at Flander beside her, wanting him to persuade Xiao Gang.

Dean Flander was helpless. He knew the master's temper; once he made up his mind about something, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

Hopefully, he won't get slapped to the ground.

The master didn't say anything more to the two of them, but instead picked up the gifts and left Shrek Academy.

To show his sincerity, he decided to go in person so that the other party would know his determination.

However, when he arrived outside the courtyard, no matter how the master called out, Venerable Dongfang did not come out. This puzzled the master. Could it be that the other party did not want to see him?

But since we've already come all this way, it would be quite unreasonable to just leave like this.

With this in mind, the master decided to stand there and wait for the other party, so that Dongfang Qingcang could see his sincerity.

However, what the master did not know was that Dongfang Qingcang had already left, and no matter how long he waited, no one would open the door to greet him.

...............

Another direction from Tiandou City.

At this moment, Dongfang Qingcang and Zhao Xiaolanhua were standing at the entrance of a stall, looking at something, completely unaware that an uninvited guest had been waiting for them in their home for a long time.

Little Orchid tilted her head, asking with some doubt, "Great Demon, are there any of these things we need?"

Dongfang Qingcang did not answer.

Instead, he picked up a crystal at random and examined it from head to toe.

With his eyes, he could naturally see the energy contained in the stone.

In this world, there are very few people who possess the ability to see clearly.

However, no one could see the energy within the crystal. Even Tang San's Purple Demon Eye couldn't perceive the meager energy contained within it.

No wonder Obsidian said that only His Majesty himself could see the surge of magic power, because it was so faint that only a strong person could possibly discover its secrets.

People in this world like to buy crystals to create ornaments.

The price of crystals sold in Tiandou City has naturally risen accordingly. Even the most ordinary stone, without any cutting or polishing, can still fetch an astronomical price.

Of course, if the stone is cut open and the crystal inside is found to be extremely valuable, it can not only bring the buyer a considerable income, but also make the crystal highly sought after by celebrities.

In the past, Dongfang Qingcang would never have looked down on the magic power here, but now that he has come to this world, it is not an easy thing to open the gate to the Three Realms without magic power to replenish his body.

When you open a shop to do business, it's a commodity, so it will have a price. If Dongfang Qingcang thinks the price is right, he won't hesitate to buy it.

Of course, he doesn't usually have much of a concept of money, but if he really likes something, he'll buy it even if it's at a premium.

If the price is lower than what Dongfang Qingcang considers valuable, and if he feels cheated, then he can just kill and rob the goods; that might be faster.

"How much is this crystal?"

The boss was a man in his thirties who looked like he had been in the Heavenly Dou Empire for many years. He had a cunning and calculating air about him, and his words and actions revealed a hint of slyness.

"Hehehe, young man, you look unfamiliar. You don't seem to be from the Heaven Dou Empire, right?"

"What does it have to do with me buying things?"

The boss stroked his beard, a sly glint in his eyes, and continued, "Young brother, you may not know this, but Tiandou City doesn't actually produce many crystals. Most of the crystals come from the vicinity of the ocean."

"We spent a lot of money to transport this shipment. Since you are a friend of another empire, I'll give you a friendly price if you want it."

"How about 200,000 gold soul coins?"

The boss looked Dongfang Qingcang up and down, noticing his magnificent robes and arrogant demeanor, clearly indicating he was no ordinary person.

Therefore.

The boss decided to rip him off, since this was his territory and he wouldn't mind taking 200,000 gold soul coins.

Fighting and brawling are not allowed in Tiandou City, let alone killing. If Dongfang Qingcang dares to make a move here, he will be arrested by the Tiandou Empire's Imperial Guard in the next second.
