Chapter 93: The Soul Bone Transaction
Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, was a place Kong had visited a few times before.
Unlike other cities, there were no small vendors or street hawkers in Heaven Dou City. Most of the residents here were soul masters, nobles, and their "servants." In such an environment, small vendors could not survive.
"Heaven Dou City, still unchanged after all these years."
Kong shook his head and sighed.
If even the most basic infrastructure hadn't changed, how much progress could other aspects have made?
The only thing that comforted Kong was that although there were no towering buildings or bustling traffic, the architecture here was still quite magnificent! Almost reminiscent of 14th-century Europe…
Due to the influence of martial spirits, this was a fortified version.
Possessing martial spirits and soul power enabled people to accomplish things that ordinary humans couldn't, which was one of the reasons why the soul master profession was so respected.
Back to the main point.
Kong had just entered the city and, after wandering around for a while, was preparing to find a hotel to stay in.
At that moment, two familiar figures appeared before him.
"Well, well, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has certainly made an effort in Heaven Dou City!"
Kong couldn't help but mentally complain after recognizing the two figures.
"Hahaha, Kong, you came to Heaven Dou City for a visit, and didn't even let your uncle know."
Ning Fengzhi approached with a smile on his face, with Sword Douluo Chen Xin following behind him.
Chen Xin had returned from the Star Luo trip some time ago, and although the journey had been smooth, it had still come at some cost.
For a clan as wealthy and powerful as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, that cost was insignificant.
Chen Xin scrutinized Kong with a blank expression. He felt that Kong's aura and the energy radiating from him were a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
The last report indicated that Kong had reached the sixty-second level. Could it be that he had broken through again?
Chen Xin pondered this with some confusion.
Seeing the familiar and friendly Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, Kong couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. He could sense that neither of them harbored any ill intentions toward him, but Ning Fengzhi's gaze always carried a peculiar look! It was as if he were looking at a son-in-law he was satisfied with…
"Clan Master Ning, Sword Douluo, Your Eminence!"
Kong cupped his hands in salute.
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and said, "Kong, don't be so formal. The three upper clans are like branches from the same tree. I'm a generation younger than your grandfather, so just call me uncle."
Without waiting for Kong to respond, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Kong, it's better to meet by chance than to arrange a meeting. It just so happens that I'm free today, so why don't we have a meal together as uncle and nephew? Come, come, come…"
Kong: "…"
Was it really a chance meeting? Do you even believe that yourself?
Well, whatever. There's something I need to discuss with Ning Fengzhi anyway.
"In that case, it would be disrespectful of me to refuse."
Kong cupped his hands again.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were slightly taken aback. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
They had originally expected Kong to find an excuse to refuse, and Ning Fengzhi had even prepared some persuasive words, but to their surprise, he had agreed!
Good thing he did!
Ning Fengzhi quickly regained his composure and eagerly led Kong towards a nearby restaurant.
In fact, many of the establishments in Heaven Dou City were owned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
The saying that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's wealth could rival that of a nation was no joke.
Whether in business or other ventures, the core members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan are exceptionally skilled.
This might be one of the hidden traits of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Before long, the three of them arrived in a private room at the most luxurious hotel in Heaven Dou City.
"Kong, I wonder what brings you to Heaven Dou City this time? If there's anything troubling you, don't hesitate to speak up!"
Ning Fengzhi spoke generously. If it meant that Kong would owe the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan a favor, paying a certain price was completely worth it!
Such a genius, if he couldn't be stopped in his tracks, then he must be befriended. And the best way to do that was through marriage!
Before that, however, if they could get Kong to owe them a favor, then as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan didn't make any principled mistakes in the future, they would remain unshakable.
For the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Fengzhi had personally brought Sword Douluo along to welcome this younger generation member!
In the eyes of adults, especially those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, there were only benefits and drawbacks—no emotions!
Of course, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both genuinely admired this younger generation. At just over twelve years old, Kong was already a Soul Emperor, defeating a Soul Sage in a single strike.
Ning Fengzhi even believed that Kong could reach the hundredth level and become a god, breaking the "curse" of no one becoming a god in ten thousand years.
Kong thought for a moment and then directly said, "Uncle Ning, my visit to Heaven Dou City this time is to discuss a business deal with you."
After saying this, Kong lightly touched his storage soul guide, retrieving a soul bone from it and placing it on the table.
With Chen Xin present, there was no fear of anyone trying to snatch it.
As soon as the gem-like head soul bone appeared, the room was instantly filled with a seven-colored glow, leaving both Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi stunned.
A soul bone?
And a head soul bone over ten thousand years old!
Wait, something's off—this is a gem-type head soul bone!
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's eyes widened. If it were any other ten-thousand-year soul bone, they wouldn't have been so moved, but this was the rarest of the rare—a gem-type head soul bone!
It could easily become the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's heirloom soul bone!
"Nephew, how would you like to trade?" Ning Fengzhi asked, his eyes filled with determination as he touched the head soul bone.
Since Kong had brought it out and intended to make a deal with him, it meant that Kong wasn't going to take it back.
He never expected that Kong's trip to Heaven Dou City this time was to discuss a soul bone business with him!
Such deals, the more the better!
As for taking the bone by force? Impossible!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were merchants—peace brings wealth. If it were someone else, they might dare, but this wasn't a soft target!
Coming to Heaven Dou City with a soul bone alone, did you think the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't have any backup plans?
"Uncle Ning, I believe you know the value of this soul bone. I won't ask for anything outrageous."
"A similarly leveled torso soul bone for an assault-type spirit master, or a right arm soul bone of over fifty thousand years."
"Of course, if there's a head soul bone for a spiritual-type spirit master, that would be even better. If it's not enough, we can continue to negotiate."
Kong pointed to the gem-like head soul bone on the table as he spoke.
His demands were not unreasonable, and in fact, they were slightly low!
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan needed this, and he didn't…
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance and nodded. Kong's request wasn't excessive.
However, soul bones aren't like cabbages—they don't have a surplus. Even if they had some, they would first be supplied to the Grand Elders (Chen Xin, Gu Rong) or other elders who had made significant contributions to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
"Nephew, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan does have a head soul bone of over fifty thousand years for a spiritual-type spirit master, but the value of the two…"
