Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 45 Treasure Reward Party!

In the afternoon, Class 4's lesson was a brief history of soul guides.

This is a course introducing the history of soul tools. Although the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent strongly rejected soul tools, as the number one academy on the continent, Shrek Academy will not ignore this new power system that is influencing and will continue to influence the situation on the continent, regardless of its purpose. Students from the outer academy will learn about soul tools from the first to the sixth year, such as their history, common types of soul tools, and basic usage methods.

However, that's all they can do. If they really want to research soul tools, they'll have to go to the Soul Guidance Department.

Zhu Ziyang was quite interested in soul tools, but not much. He didn't reject soul tools, and was even very willing to use them in combat, but he would never agree to research or create them.

Because no external force is as reliable as one's own strength, this is a world where personal power determines everything. The Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology is so advanced, but it was still suppressed by the soul masters of Shrek Academy, wasn't it?

Moreover, based on Zhu Ziyang's knowledge, the more powerful the soul tool, the more soul power it requires to drive. Although soul tools that do not require high-level soul masters to use have a good track record in war, the key to the outcome of a war ultimately lies in the battle between top-level soul masters.

After the afternoon classes ended, Zhu Ziyang and his three friends had dinner and decided to head to Shrek City.

The reason is that Beibei obtained four invitations to the Treasure Pavilion Appreciation Event.

Jubao Pavilion is the largest merchant guild in Shrek City, with a deep background and intricate connections to Shrek Academy's inner court. The Treasure Appreciation Gathering is a grand event jointly organized by the merchant guilds in Shrek City, with a simple purpose: to win over students of Shrek Academy, since Shrek students are recognized throughout the continent as a gathering of geniuses.

Originally, only core disciples of the outer academy and disciples of the inner academy were qualified to be invited to this treasure appreciation event. As freshmen who had only been there for a few days, Zhu Ziyang and his group obviously could not be qualified. The four invitations that Bei Bei obtained were obviously obtained through special channels, and each one had their name on it.

Zhu Ziyang naturally wouldn't refuse something that could broaden his horizons and perhaps even offer a bargain. However, he also knew that they were just going to take a look tonight, and the items on display would undoubtedly be the best, and there might not be a single one he could afford.

"Is this Shrek City?" After entering Shrek City, Jiang Nannan, arm in arm with Zhu Ziyang, looked at the bustling and magnificent scene around her and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Isn't it bustling? I was amazed when I first came here." Tang Ya took Bei Bei's hand and walked to Jiang Nannan's side, saying, "I thought Tian Dou City was big enough, but compared to Shrek City, it's suddenly much smaller."

"Shrek City was built by combining the strength of the three kingdoms of the original continent, so it's naturally more prosperous than Heaven Dou City," Bei Bei said with a smile.

"Let's hurry up and not block the road here," Zhu Ziyang said, glancing apologetically at the disgruntled people behind them. He then pulled Jiang Nannan forward.

Beibei and Tangya caught up with them.

The four arrived at the venue of the treasure appreciation event, the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion was an extremely luxurious building, and its appearance certainly lived up to its name. The four young women at the entrance, responsible for greeting guests, were clearly surprised to see the four men dressed in white Shrek Academy uniforms. However, as chosen as greeters, they were obviously highly professional and wouldn't look down on anyone because of their appearance or clothing. After all, this was Shrek City, and Shrek Academy was right next door; age really didn't matter here.

After showing their invitations, Zhu Ziyang and his companions entered the Treasure Pavilion without any problems. They were then guided to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, where the treasure appreciation event was being held.

"Should we be together, or..." Beibei asked, his intentions already quite clear.

"Let's split up and go shopping separately for now. We can meet at the entrance before we finish." Zhu Ziyang naturally went along with the suggestion. He preferred to go shopping alone with Jiang Nannan rather than with all four of them.

"Okay! See you later." Beibei and Zhu Ziyang exchanged a knowing glance, then without asking Tang Ya's opinion, they pulled her away.

"Let's go too." Jiang Nannan had no objection to this, happily hugged Zhu Ziyang's arm, and followed him to the other side.

They wandered from booth to booth, admiring each exquisite, rare, or eye-catching item, exclaiming in amazement. Many of these items were ones Zhu Ziyang had seen in books; it just goes to show that there's always a difference between the real thing and the pictures.

Many of the exhibits were soul bones, mostly thousand-year-old soul bones, with a very small number being ten-thousand-year-old. As for hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones, sorry, they simply couldn't possibly appear at such a treasure appreciation event. Zhu Ziyang saw a soul bone that would be very suitable for Jiang Nannan, a seven-thousand-year-old Void Demon Leopard left leg bone. According to the description, this soul bone could increase a soul master's speed and also provide a decent attack skill. He originally wanted to buy it, but when he saw the price, he immediately lost interest.

A seven-thousand-year-old left leg bone actually costs one million gold soul coins!

Sure enough, he was still too poor. Zhu Ziyang shook his head inwardly.

After leaving the Soul Bone area, the two continued to wander around. Suddenly, Zhu Ziyang was attracted by a circular exhibit area.

"Nannan, let's go take a look over there," Zhu Ziyang said, holding Jiang Nannan's hand.

"Okay." Jiang Nannan nodded obediently.

The two arrived at the circular exhibition area, where a circle of jade porcelain bottles were placed on the display stand, and the base of the bottles contained information about the exhibits.

"Soul Ascension Pill, a mid-grade pill, a wood-attribute pill that can enhance soul power. The increase in soul power is approximately equivalent to the soul power required for a Soul Venerable to advance from level 31 to level 32. Price: 100,000 gold soul coins each!" Jiang Nannan read the information on the nearest porcelain bottle. After reading it, she was dumbfounded, her mouth agape. "My god, this is outrageous! A tiny pill costs 100,000 gold soul coins each!"

"That's normal." Zhu Ziyang looked at the circle of porcelain bottles on the display stand, which were clearly pills, and said, "After all, the benefits that a single pill can bring to a Soul Master are immeasurable."

"That's what they say, but it's still hard to accept..." Jiang Nannan muttered.

Zhu Ziyang paid no attention and walked around the display stand examining the pills.

"Soul Spirit Pill...a superior-grade pill...five million gold soul coins per pill..."

"Mysterious Water Pill... a mid-grade pill... 250,000 gold soul coins per pill..."

"Bone Forging Pill..."

"The Hundred Healing Pill..."

"..."

The booth displayed a wide variety of pills, but the cheapest ones cost 100,000 gold soul coins each, leaving Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan dumbfounded. For the first time, they had such a direct understanding of the importance of wealth.

Looking at these mouthwatering pills, Zhu Ziyang's heart stirred and his face lit up with joy.

He's come up with a way to make money!
