Capítulo 618: Chapter 51 Reverse Operation_2
Jing Hongchen snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Qing Ya, saying, "Little girl, I want to make a bid."
"Ah, alright, okay."
Qing Ya was taken aback and hastily replied, "I don't know, how much would you like to bid, honored guest?"
Jing Hongchen said, "I'll bid seven hundred thousand golden soul coins; I don't like to dilly-dally."
Qing Ya immediately placed a bid of seven hundred thousand on behalf of Jing Hongchen.
"Grandpa, what do you need this thing for?"
"Since one has already circulated here, who knows how many more have been lost elsewhere. We simply can't buy them all."
Xiao Hongchen was puzzled.
"I want to buy it back and take a look at the detailed internal serial number, to carry out targeted actions, and avoid those military folks who only know how to do business, from giving me the run-around."
"This is evidence, understand?"
Facing Jing Hongchen's question, Xiao Hongchen shrank his neck.
He rarely saw his grandfather so serious; it was clear that the old man was really angry.
Qin Xiao chuckled internally, "In the original work, this item was bought by Wang Yan for He Caitou to research. I wonder if they will still buy it this time?"
...
"Teacher Wang, let it go."
In the private room of the Shrek squad, He Caitou tugged at Wang Yan's clothes.
"Didn't you say that this soul tool is very helpful for your research?" Wang Yan asked, not understanding.
"But, the markup is too severe; I'm afraid after buying it back, my teacher will beat me..."
"If I had that much money, I might spend it, but with the academy's funds, forget it..."
"After all, our batch of students from Shrek Academy is the worst; how could we have the nerve to spend the academy's money."
He Caitou said weakly.
He was well aware of his own standing.
It was like, failing an exam, getting caught cheating by the teacher, and then being publicly shamed. As a student, could you still have the face to go home and ask your parents for a reward?
Not getting a bit of family 'tough love' would already be considered light.
"Sigh."
Wang Yan sighed and sat back down in his seat.
He understood what He Caitou meant.
It made sense.
After a short while, Xu Jiujiu announced with a smile that the final deal was made at seven hundred thousand golden soul coins.
Then, five more auctions were held.
The auction items were the left arm bone, the right arm bone, the left leg bone, a type of extremely rare rare metal, and a long-range eighth-grade soul guidance device.
It's worth mentioning that the long-range soul tool, an eighth-grade soul guidance device, had a usage requirement that needed a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse.
Named the Heaven-and-Earth Cannon, it also came from the Sun-Moon Empire but was not produced by Mingde Hall. The creator was a rare Ninth-Level Soul Master.
...
"Bang."
Jing Hongchen could no longer hold back upon seeing this auction item and slapped the table in anger.
"Who is the inside traitor selling such powerful soul guidance devices? Wouldn't it be better to sell them directly to the Empire?"
It is well-known that Ninth-Level Soul Masters are a unique product of the Sun-Moon Empire.
And each Ninth-Level Soul Master can become one with the support of the Sun-Moon Empire to some extent.
In other words, the Sun-Moon Empire owed them a debt of gratitude.
However, selling a powerful soul guidance device you've made to another country is a bit excessive, right?
Especially since this soul guidance device has notable power; with one shot, who knows how many people from the Sun-Moon Empire would fall victim to it.
Qin Xiao coughed.
"If you have something to say, kid, just speak up; don't beat around the bush here," Jing Hongchen said irritably.
"I think you should calm down a bit. The reason why such a powerful soul guidance device is sold to other countries instead of domestically comes down to the price difference."
"In the Sun-Moon Empire, soul guidance devices are as common as dirt, and common items don't fetch a high price. But in Xingluo, Sky Soul, and Dou Spirit, they're sought after. The price is several times that of the Sun-Moon Empire..."
Having said this, Qin Xiao turned the question back to Jing Hongchen, "If you were just an ordinary Ninth-Level Soul Master who put great effort into making a powerful soul guidance device, would you like to sell it for a high price or a low one?"
Jing Hongchen fell silent upon hearing this.
He put himself in the other's shoes for a moment, thinking that if he wasn't the head of the Hongchen Clan, nor the Master of Mingde Hall, nor the dean of the Sun-Moon Spiritual Guide Academy.
Well...
Of course, it goes to whoever offers more money!
"The military's soul tools should be thoroughly investigated, and it requires serious handling."
"But for these hard-to-control Ninth-Level Soul Masters, I suggest we still try to woo them. If you don't want powerful soul tools to flow out, then raise the price."
"I'm not saying the price should be the same as in other countries, but even if it's just ten or twenty percent lower, I believe many Ninth-Level and Eighth-Level Soul Masters would hesitate."
After finishing his point, Qin Xiao leaned back, adopting a Beijing sprawl as he reclined on the sofa.
Hearing his words, Jing Hongchen's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
What Qin Xiao said made sense.
"Kid, you do have some valid points. If you see something you like later, let me know, and I'll foot the bill."
Jing Hongchen said, waving his hand generously.
Qin Xiao asked uncertainly, "Really?"
Jing Hongchen replied irritably, "With so many people watching, do you think I would joke with you?"
At that moment, Princess Jiujin appeared on the big screen for the eighth time, smiling as she said, "Honored guests, the next two auction items will be the highlight of today. Our eighth auction item is still a soul bone."
But it's unique. Jiujin dares to say that it is the only one in the entire Soul Land. Everyone, please look."
The image on the soul guiding screen flashed, revealing a soul bone magnified many times over.
This soul bone was entirely a jade green color, with the green glow flowing and undulating on it, as if there were green liquid inside it.
By its shape, this was a left arm bone, and from the green body, a faint white mist emanated.
Because it was magnified so much, its strangeness was even more pronounced. On the surface of this green arm bone, there seemed to be tiny, crystal-like formations. They were clear and transparent, almost as if they were made from carved gems. The other soul bones that had appeared previously paled in comparison and were clearly not in the same league.
"Dammit!"
"Bastard!"
In Qin Xiao's mind, the angry voices of the Skydream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor suddenly rang out.
Qin Xiao wasn't surprised by this.
The Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone appeared as expected.
It hadn't disappeared just because of his handsome fluttering moth agitation.
But he didn't pay attention to the Ice Emperor and the Skydream Ice Silkworm; instead, he pointed at the large screen and said to Jing Hongchen, "Didn't you just say I could pick any auction item?"
"I want this one."
Uh...
Jing Hongchen was somewhat taken aback, "Kid, you want to buy it without even listening to the item introduction?"
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "My intuition tells me this soul bone suits me very well."
"Hmph, I think you just don't know how to appreciate the opportunity."
"Giving you a chance is useless, kid. Then I'll buy this soul bone for you, but you better not regret it later."
Jing Hongchen snorted and said no more.
Because Princess Jiujin had begun to introduce the origins of the item.
"Honored guests, before telling you its advantages, let me first tell you about its disadvantages.
The first disadvantage is the attribute restriction. Only Ice-attribute Soul Masters can use it.
As everyone knows, out of a hundred Soul Masters, there might not even be one with Ice attributes. So I must say, although this soul bone is excellent, it is only suitable for those Soul Masters who are compatible with it."
"The second disadvantage is also quite obvious, which is that the soul skill of this left arm bone is fixed, and it will not change regardless of what Ice-attribute Martial Soul the Soul Master merging with it has. This presents a significant limitation."
"As for the last disadvantage, that would be its age. Based on our examination, this soul bone is between fifty to seventy thousand years old. Only those with sufficient strength and physical quality should attempt to fuse with it, or else they can be burst by the force. Those are its three drawbacks."
After detailing the soul bone's disadvantages, Xu Jiujiu playfully blinked her eyes.
However...
The distinguished guests in the various private rooms couldn't help but complain.
It is well known that soul bones with attribute requirements are more powerful than those that don't have such requirements.
Once fused with a Soul Master, the amplification effect is far greater than those without attribute requirements.
You say this soul bone is picky because only Ice-attribute Soul Masters can fuse with it, so that might be considered a drawback.
But what about the others?
Having a fixed soul skill is actually one of the great advantages of soul bones. Only those particularly powerful soul bones will have fixed soul skills associated with them!
And as for the disadvantage of the soul bone's high age...isn't that even more absurd?
Who told you that a high age of a soul bone is a drawback?
Who would complain about their soul bone being too old?
This is pure reverse selling.
