Chapter 65 Wang Dong's Wish
Stepping into the Treasure Pavilion, an atmosphere of luxury immediately envelops you. The golden hall exudes extravagance, with crystal chandeliers hanging high in the ceiling shimmering throughout, and two rows of young girls standing on either side of the hall.
Damn it, why does this place feel so familiar? Did the Third Young Master really go there before?
Compared to the eight girls in long dresses outside, the girls inside wearing short gold skirts were far more eye-catching. These girls were younger, and their short skirts contained very little fabric, revealing their fair and slender legs.
Every single one of them was above average in appearance and had an excellent figure. Curves in all the right places, perfect proportions. The first impression upon entering this golden hall was that it was like entering paradise on earth.
Damn it, this is getting more and more outrageous. Is this really a treasure-hunting event, or the birthplace of some gray industry chain?
"Welcome, distinguished guests." The girls on both sides suddenly bowed and said in unison. The sudden sound startled Wang Dong. Looking at the girls who were all bowing at a ninety-degree angle, each revealing their cleavage, Su Yu remained calm. That's it, that's it.
But Wang Dong was different. He was startled by their actions and grabbed Su Yu's clothes, looking somewhat helpless.
Su Yu calmly led Wang Dong forward. After walking through the corridor lined with beautiful women, the girl in the white dress guided them up the golden stairs to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
Before the girl in the white dress could speak, Su Yu had already started searching around with Wang Dong.
Before the girl in the white dress behind him could speak, Su Yu spoke first: "There's no need to assess the amount owed. This is proof of my identity, and I believe you know what it is."
As he spoke, he casually tossed the girl in the white dress a letter of recommendation stamped with the seal of a nobleman from the Star Luo Imperial Capital.
In addition, a gold card was given to the girl in the white dress. In the Douluo Continent, the holders of this gold card were all extremely wealthy people or people with great status in a certain sect.
The girl didn't say anything more after receiving the gold card in her hand. After all, a letter was enough to prove Su Yu's identity.
"Are we really not going to extend our credit limit? What if we see something we like but don't have the money?" Wang Dong looked at Su Yu with some confusion. He didn't understand why they should pay for something they could get for free.
Su looked at Wang Dong as if he were an idiot and said, "I'm so sorry, but my family really doesn't need the money..."
Wang Dong: …………
Looking at the display cases on the second floor, it's much quieter than the first. While seemingly scattered, each exhibit is arranged in the most logical and prominent positions. Each exhibit is enclosed by a large crystal glass dome, and different items are displayed on the shelves inside.
Sure enough, Wang Dong was standing in front of a display case.
Inside that booth, there was a soul bone. This soul bone was golden-red in color and was floating in the booth; it looked like an arm bone.
Five slender finger bones pointed upwards, each fingertip emitting a faint golden-red glow. It wasn't just them who noticed this soul bone; almost everyone who passed by it did.
Moreover, the booth where this soul bone was located was at least twice the size of the other exhibits, and the huge crystal dome made its golden-red light shine even brighter.
Is this the right arm bone of the Golden Light?
"I can feel that it suits me." Wang Dong's eyes gleamed with a burning light as he looked at Su Yu, but the price of 9.5 million gold soul coins put him in a dilemma.
The Clear Sky Sect is indeed powerful, but that doesn't mean it's wealthy...
If it were Ning Tian, that would be an exception. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has never lacked money. Back then, they could easily spend millions of gold soul coins with a wave of their hand. The Clear Sky School's habit of staying out of the world makes it impossible for them to come up with such a sum of money, unless that Titan brother and Tian Qing brother robbed them.
Wait a minute, it seems like robbery really does make money fast...
"I told you, you can make one wish. How about this one?"
Looking at Wang Dong's hopeful expression, Su Yu calmly spoke.
"Let's go see that soul bone." Su Yu walked towards the soul bone that Wang Dong had previously taken a liking to without hesitation.
Wang Dong quickly grabbed him, "No need, I have the money to buy it myself." He understood Su Yu's meaning, of course. Without a doubt, Su Yu wanted to pay directly to get the soul bone for Wang Dong.
"Save your breath. Nine and a half million gold soul coins? Do you think your family is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Under Su Yu's gaze, Wang Dong was somewhat embarrassed. It wasn't that Su Yu was bragging, but a reclusive sect like the Haotian Sect really couldn't come up with several million gold soul coins.
Unless you have to sell everything you own, don't overestimate the Clear Sky Sect. In terms of strength, they may consider themselves the best in the mortal realm, but in terms of wealth...
Never mind, let's not talk about it...
Taking Wang Dong's arm, Su Yu led him directly to the display case. Pointing to the description, Su Yu said to Wang Dong, "Come on, take a look, see if you can afford it?"
The arm bone, gleaming with a golden-red luster, was full of texture, and the sign below it provided a detailed description of it.
The golden light emanates from the left arm bone.
Originating from the ancient Golden Earth Dragon King, it possesses the attribute of Light and is presumed to have the ability of Light Flame. Suitable for Light-type Soul Masters. Its attached skill is expected to be offensive.
The Golden Earth Dragon King possessed a pure but diluted bloodline of the Light Dragon Clan, and this soul bone contained the essence of this ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King's bloodline.
Please note the word "pure." Even the diluted pure bloodline still possesses more of the Light Dragon Clan's heritage than those mixed bloodlines. The only pity is that this slain Golden Earth Dragon King only had a cultivation of over ten thousand years. If its cultivation had exceeded one hundred thousand years, it would have been a beast king-level being.
The price of this Soul Bone is 9.5 million Gold Soul Coins.
When Wang Dong saw the price, his pupils contracted sharply, and he was completely stunned. Nine and a half million...
Wang Dong stared in disbelief, exclaiming, "How can it be so expensive? I remember that while soul bones are expensive, they rarely exceed three million gold soul coins!"
Looking at the astonishing price, Su Yu teased, "But you should consider the authenticity of this stuff, my dear Squad Leader Wang, are you still going to buy it yourself?"
"I, I..."
Wang Dong now felt he had been too naive. The path for Soul Masters, whether as Soul Masters or Soul Guidance Masters, to continuously grow stronger required immense financial support. Without sufficient funds, where would Soul Bones come from? Where would the various precious materials for crafting Soul Tools come from?
This is also why powerful Soul Masters and Soul Masters often rely on certain powerful forces. Reality is harsh; acquiring those precious things solely through one's own abilities is virtually impossible. Without resource support and the protection of a powerful force, the vast majority of Soul Masters and Soul Masters perish...
"Okay, I'll make a wish. I want this soul bone, is that alright, Su Yu?" Wang Dong finally gave an affirmative answer.
Pinching Wang Dong's cheek, Su Yu leaned close to Wang Dong's delicate little ear and slowly said, "Money is ultimately just an external thing. All of this is nothing compared to you. You can't go back on your word. The wish is over."
Gently holding Wang Dong, Su Yu smiled with satisfaction, released his embrace, and turned to walk towards the counter on the west side.
Watching Su Yu's departing figure, Wang Dong's heart was touched. Her heartbeat and breathing became rapid, and her pink-blue eyes softened for the first time. "You're right. Since I made a wish, I won't go back on my word, as long as you're still by my side..."
He took out his gold card and directly deducted 9.5 million gold soul coins. Perhaps his father would complain about his son's extravagance, but the world would never know just how deep the foundation of the Su family had been accumulated.
Not to mention the three great empires, even within the Sun and Moon Empire, the Su family is involved in various industries, from the military to the daily necessities of ordinary people, all of which bear the mark of the Su family's assets.
This situation is largely related to the nobles of various countries. The annual expenditure on maintaining noble relations has reached an alarming level. The nobles are responsible for clearing obstacles for the Su Yu family, and the Su Yu family is responsible for letting them collect money while living an extremely extravagant and decadent life.
This seemingly underhanded tactic is actually not a secret among many businessmen; it's just that the Su family has sufficient resources.
The girl in the white dress at the west counter also looked at Su Yu in surprise. She didn't expect Su Yu to have such a huge amount of money in his hands, and the payment process was exceptionally smooth.
After paying, Su Yu took the soul bone and, holding Wang Dong's hand, continued to stroll around the second floor.
Su Yu didn't find whale glue here, probably because Huo Yuhao beat him to it. After all, he was still taking the Soul Guidance Department exam back then, so it was inevitable that the guy would get there first. But it didn't matter. Although there was no ten-thousand-year whale glue, he could still find a large batch of thousand-year whale glue.
"Looks like I need to make a list for Dad, otherwise it would be embarrassing to lose at the starting line."
Looking at the empty whale glue counter, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Seeing Su Yu deep in thought in front of the counter displaying whale glue, Wang Dong assumed Su Yu wanted it, so he said, "If you want whale glue, I can just bring you some next time I go home. I ate a lot of it when I was little, always forced to by my family. Ever since I fused with the thousand-year soul ring, I swore I would never eat this sticky stuff again in my life."
Damn it, I transmigrated a bit too late. If I hadn't already been eight or nine years old when I transmigrated, and hadn't only integrated all my memories by the time I was eleven, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to improve my physical fitness.
Shrek Academy, Seagod Island.
"What? It's that kid Huo Yuhao?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Yan Shaozhe in disbelief.
Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "That's right. The cold soul power you received back then most likely came from Huo Yuhao. However, he probably did it unconsciously at the time. His second martial soul was still in a latent stage then, and it was probably because it was impacted by your Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul that it protected its host on its own. It's even possible that your Evil Fire Phoenix soul power activated his second martial soul, causing it to awaken."
Ma Xiaotao exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! This is truly wonderful! Teacher, I'm almost driven to the brink of death by this evil fire within me. Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Turtle is, after all, a water attribute, not an ice attribute, and its effectiveness is decreasing. With Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice attribute, I can escape my current predicament, right? This way, I can represent the academy in the upcoming Continental Advanced Academy Soul Battle Tournament, right?"
As she spoke, she ran towards where Huo Yuhao was...
"You bastard Su Yu, if you knew all along, why didn't you tell me? You made me wait so long. But whatever, at least you didn't lie to me." Before she finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao's figure had already disappeared into the night sky.
…………
"Here's the soul bone for you. Absorb it quickly, and I'll protect you."
Su casually tossed the soul bone to Wang Dong, completely disregarding it, as if the 9.5 million gold soul coins were nothing more than a string of numbers in his eyes.
"This is a soul bone worth nine and a half million, be careful." Wang Dong carefully took the soul bone and examined the right arm bone closely.
"With this soul bone, Dai Huabin is no match for me now, hahaha..." Wang Dong said while waving his fist. Seeing his smug look, Su Yu just smiled calmly.
Is 9.5 million gold soul coins really a lot?
What can 9.5 million gold soul coins do? They can arm a 10,000-strong heavy cavalry force, including their horses, to the teeth.
In reality, if the Su family wanted to, they could organize a very large army at any time. However, once they had an army, they might be treated as traitors and besieged.
As for Wang Dong, if the Haotian Sect wants to come up with this sum of money, they'll probably have to spend the rest of their lives blacksmithing to pay off their debts. They might not even be able to pay it off after breaking all their hammers...
Fortunately, Dai Huabin did not hold a grudge against Su Yu, because after investigation, he discovered that Su Yu's family did indeed have intricate connections with the Star Luo Empire, and even his White Tiger Duke lineage was related to Su Yu's family.
However, just as Wang Dong fused with the soul bone, the next day when he went to class, he saw Ma Xiaotao, dressed in a blood-red school uniform, standing outside the door and waving at Huo Yuhao.
Ma Xiaotao's condition was also getting worse. Her pretty face was flushed, and a faint red glow was faintly visible on her body. Her aura was also starting to get hot.
Just as Wang Dong, who was as curious as a baby, was about to investigate, Su Yu pulled him back.
Wang Dong glared at Su Yu and said irritably, "Why are you stopping me? I just want to take a look, don't I?"
"What's so interesting? I guess Senior Sister has something to discuss with Huo Yuhao. Didn't I tell you about suppressing the evil fire last time? This time, Huo Yuhao has the ultimate ice, so he can naturally provide greater help to Senior Sister. Do you understand now?" Su Yu stretched and sat up straight against the wall.
"Oh, I see. Then I'm not curious anymore. But are you really alright? I remember you seemed quite concerned about whale glue. Should I ask my family to bring you some?" Wang Dong said earnestly, looking at Su Yu's face.
