Chapter 138: Everyone's Harvest
"Next, should we take all the good things and bring them back to Shrek Academy, or should we choose a few?"
Yan Shaozhe was overwhelmed by the treasures in front of him. He wished he could use all the funds he brought to buy soul rings and soul bones.
It was known that on Douluo Continent, only soul beasts with higher ages were more likely to produce soul bones, and here there were over a thousand soul bones.
Among them, there were more than three hundred soul bones that were over fifty thousand years old.
Facing so many treasures, as the director of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel tempted.
But after the Sea God Pavilion meeting, the academy had decided that half of the funds brought should be allocated to the Soul Guidance Department.
Even though he was the director of the Martial Soul Department, he didn't have the right to use all the funds to purchase soul rings and soul bones.
Thinking about this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"The better the treasure, the more expensive it is. If we only buy the best, our funds won't be enough," said Xian Lin'er, offering a reasonable opinion. Although everyone wanted to buy, they also felt powerless.
The prices of the high-quality soul rings and soul bones were exorbitant.
Even if they sold everything they had, it would be impossible to buy all the treasures they desired.
"Since that's the case, let's choose selectively. For the soul rings, let's aim for the god-gifted ones, since god-gifted soul rings can adapt to any martial soul. For the soul bones, let's pick some rare ones," Yan Shaozhe suggested after thinking for a moment. Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the other Title Douluo powerhouses nodded in agreement.
At this moment, choosing only a few treasures was the most practical approach.
They began to carefully select, picking up each soul ring or soul bone, repeatedly checking its attributes and price to weigh the pros and cons.
In another area, Ling Luocheng stood quietly in front of a display stand.
On the stand, a piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice emitted a faint blue glow, deep and mysterious.
Tendrils of cold air wafted from the surface of the profound ice, forming tiny ice crystals in the surrounding area.
This Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice was a top-tier ice element treasure, and Ling Luocheng knew this well.
If she could obtain it, her ice-type martial soul would undergo a qualitative evolution, taking a solid step toward the ultimate realm of ice.
However, the price tag of "Fifty Million Gold Soul Coins" below it loomed over her like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
She bit her lip until it turned white, her fingers unconsciously rubbing her storage soul guide.
She quickly estimated the value of the items inside her storage soul guide. Every item was carefully considered.
The things she had once considered treasures now seemed insignificant in front of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice.
Even if she sold everything she could exchange, she would still be far from reaching fifty million gold soul coins.
Just as she was about to reluctantly leave, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked over side by side.
Huo Yuhao immediately noticed something unusual about Ling Luocheng and curiously approached her, his face filled with concern, "Senior Ling, why have you been standing here? Did you find a treasure you like?"
As he spoke, he followed her gaze toward the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice and immediately understood her hesitation. He was familiar with the desire and helplessness in her eyes.
Wang Dong also picked up on the situation and asked softly, "Is it because you're short on gold soul coins?"
Ling Luocheng nodded lightly, her expression a little gloomy as she said in a low voice, "This Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice is crucial for the evolution of my martial soul, but I..."
"No problem! It's just gold soul coins!"
Wang Dong waved her hand casually, her eyes full of generosity, as though millions of gold soul coins were nothing to her.
"Senior, I'll help you! How much more do you need?"
Her words were filled with undeniable determination, and Ling Luocheng felt a warm current flow through her heart, feeling warmth in front of the cold treasure.
Ling Luocheng froze for a moment, then quickly waved her hand, flustered, "No, this is too much money..."
She knew the weight of this sum and didn't want to owe such a huge favor.
After all, in the world of soul masters, a favor was often harder to repay than money.
"Ai, what are you being so polite for?"
Wang Dong interrupted her words with a bright smile on her face, "With my big and second uncles here, I don't dare to say anything else, but we sure don't lack gold soul coins! Just tell me how much you need!"
Her smile was like sunshine, dispelling the gloom in Ling Luocheng's heart.
Ling Luocheng hesitated for a moment and then softly said, "I still need ten million gold soul coins..."
Her voice held a hint of unease.
"That's nothing!"
Without hesitation, Wang Dong took out ten million gold soul coins from her storage soul guide. Her movements were swift and decisive, as if she was just handing over ordinary items, and she stuffed them into Ling Luocheng's hands.
"Senior, when your martial soul evolves, you must treat me to a meal!"
She winked playfully.
Ling Luocheng's eyes reddened slightly, tightly clutching the bag of gold soul coins. The overwhelming gratitude surged in her heart, and her voice became choked with emotion, "Thank you, I will remember this favor!"
She secretly swore that she would repay Wang Dong for this kindness in the future.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, He Caitou, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan also walked over and met up with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Beibei, with a gentle smile on his face, was the first to speak, "Yuhao, Wang Dong, how's your harvest?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and then looked at them with curiosity, asking, "Why don't you share your harvest first? I'm really curious."
His words sparked a desire to share among everyone, as if opening the floodgates for a conversation.
Xiao Xiao's eyes sparkled, almost jumping up with excitement, and she said, "I got the secret technique for mind control! In the future, I'll be able to control my martial soul more skillfully and switch between two martial souls much easier!"
As she spoke, she gestured excitedly, her face radiating with uncontrollable joy.
"Haha, my harvest is even more impressive!"
Xu Sanshi boasted with a smug expression, his pride showing without restraint.
He waved his hand, and a majestic black tiger appeared in front of everyone.
The tiger was large, its eyes sharp, and it emitted an aura of authority.
"See this? This is my contracted soul beast! In the future, it'll be my battle partner!"
He patted the tiger's head, and the black tiger gently nuzzled his hand, the interaction between the two full of affection.
Jiang Nannan also smiled and nodded, gently saying, "I also chose a contracted soul beast. We'll fight together, and my strength will definitely increase."
Her voice was filled with anticipation, as if she could already see herself fighting side by side with her contracted soul beast.
"Contracted soul beast!"
Everyone was amazed and gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity and envy.
They chattered excitedly, looking at Xu Sanshi's black tiger and Jiang Nannan's Soft Bone Rabbit with interest.
The longing for contracted soul beasts was clear in everyone's eyes, and they secretly made plans to find a chance to purchase one of their own in the future.
