Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

This receptionist lady volunteered herself.

This was another benefit of not coming on a Treasure Appreciation Day; the staff weren't busy and could serve as excellent shopping guides.

"Please come in, you two."

The receptionist lady respectfully invited the two of them to enter. She didn't immediately take them to the shopping area but first went to the front desk to register them.

After Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao filled out their information respectively, the front desk staff member said in astonishment, "You two, you both have a credit limit of up to one hundred thousand gold soul coins at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Please feel free to use it."

This was equivalent to a type of investment. Based on the students' age and current rank, their value was assessed.

Those with good talent and high potential received a larger credit limit. Paying out a hundred thousand today might yield returns far exceeding a hundred thousand tomorrow.

Doing business required such boldness.

However, neither Yuwen Tuo nor Xiao Xiao was short of money right now. In fact, this credit limit was unnecessary, and Yuwen Tuo didn't want to owe Shrek Academy a sum of money when he was about to leave.

He still preferred the shopping method where goods and money were exchanged immediately.

Yuwen Tuo said, "Understood. Take us to the shopping area to have a look."

"Yes, you two. Although the items in our Treasure Gathering Pavilion are not cheap, they are definitely worth more than their price. They can be roughly divided into four categories: medicinal herbs, rare treasures, soul bones, and soul tools. I wonder which area you two would like to visit first?"

"Medicinal herbs and soul bones!" Yuwen Tuo believed that for him and Xiao Xiao, the current primary task was to become stronger.

The soul tools sold here were probably mostly for daily life assistance, with very few for combat. Even if there were, Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao hadn't systematically studied them and wouldn't be able to properly control powerful soul tools like fixed-array soul cannons.

As for rare treasures, they were mostly antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, and things of that sort, which were even more meaningless to them.

"Yes, then I'll show you the soul bones here first. However, soul bones are relatively rare. We currently only have four on display. Their prices range from two million to six million gold soul coins, which is quite expensive." This lady, unlike other merchants who might flatter and deceive customers, laid all the information out openly.

This seemingly poor business practice was, conversely, a demonstration of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's confidence in its own merchandise.

Their treasures were precious and rare, and their prices were fair to young and old. If you wanted it and could afford it, you took it; otherwise, you should give up early.

Yuwen Tuo nodded. "It's within my acceptable range. Please introduce them."

"Yes!" The shopping guide lady said no more and led the two to the counter. Indeed, four soul bones were displayed there.

One right arm bone, one right leg bone, one left arm bone, and one torso bone.

As expected, the top-tier soul bone priced at nine million five hundred thousand, the Golden Earth Dragon Left Arm Bone, was not there. It seemed the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was planning to release that one as a showstopper at the Treasure Appreciation Fair.

The shopping guide lady introduced, "These two soul bones are, respectively, a strength-type Thousand Year Ice Bear Right Arm Bone and a speed-type Thousand Year Wind Wolf Right Leg Bone. Although they are Thousand Year, they are both over seven thousand years old, close to Ten Thousand Year, so their price is slightly higher, both at two million gold soul coins."

"I'm not very interested in these two. This left arm bone and torso bone should both be Ten Thousand Year soul bones, right?" Yuwen Tuo didn't even glance at the mere Thousand Year soul bones but looked towards the other two.

"Yes, this left arm bone is from a forty-thousand-year Heaven-Shaking Howl. Its soul skill is very special, only effective for soul masters who use sound-type skills. It can increase the power of all sound-type soul skills by fifty percent. The asking price is six million gold soul coins. Our Pavilion Master said that if not for its soul skill having too great a limitation, only being effective for soul masters using sound-type soul skills, a forty-thousand-year soul bone should have been priced at least at eight million gold soul coins."

"And this torso bone is from a twenty-thousand-year Tyrannical Demon Ape. Its strength is absolutely formidable. Its soul skill should be strength-amplification type, suitable for any strength-type soul master. It's considered absolutely top-grade among soul bones, thus its price is also six million gold soul coins."

Hearing the guide's words, both Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up.

These two soul bones were quite good. The Tyrannical Demon Ape torso bone, although its age was a bit lower than the left arm bone, its price of six million was definitely not expensive. Just by the words "torso bone," it was worth this price.

The torso bone, as the foremost of the six conventional body parts, provided a greater amplification to a soul master than the skull or limb bones.

However, they weren't very interested in this soul bone. After all, Yuwen Tuo had said that for such an important part as the torso bone, it should at least be a hundred-thousand-year soul bone to start with.

What truly interested them was that Heaven-Shaking Howl soul bone. Amplifying the power of sound-type skills – wouldn't Xiao Xiao's second martial soul be entirely sound-type skills in the future?

This soul bone wasn't suitable for many people, but it happened to be an extremely good fit for Xiao Xiao.

"This forty-thousand-year Heaven-Shaking Howl Left Arm Bone, I'll take it. Swipe the card!" Yuwen Tuo bought it without hesitation and tossed two gold soul coin cards to the shopping guide lady.

The shopping guide lady looked at Yuwen Tuo with surprise. She hadn't expected this customer to buy so decisively. She had originally thought they were just two students, yet they were so wealthy.

"Tuo Tuo, thank you!" Xiao Xiao excitedly held Yuwen Tuo's hand. This soul bone wasn't suitable for Yuwen Tuo; she knew it must have been prepared for her.

If it were before, she would have felt embarrassed to take it, as this was all Yuwen Tuo's money.

But now, firstly, he was already her senior brother, and it was fine for a senior brother to dote on his junior sister. Secondly, she had already thought of names for her and Yuwen Tuo's future children. It was only natural for the father of her children to buy gifts for the mother of his children.

Soon, the shopping guide lady swiped clean the two three-million gold soul coin cards and then placed the soul bone in a jeweled box, handing it to Yuwen Tuo.

"Thank you for your patronage. May I ask if the esteemed guests have any other needs? This torso bone is also very powerful."

Yuwen Tuo waved his hand. "The torso bone isn't necessary. Next, take me to see the medicinal herbs."

"Yes! This way, please." The shopping guide lady led the two into the medicinal herb area. "The medicinal herbs here are roughly divided into several categories: recovery, healing, detoxification, and cultivation assistance."

"Are there any immortal grade medicinal herbs?" Yuwen Tuo asked tentatively.

The shopping guide lady was taken aback and replied helplessly, "Esteemed guest, you must be joking. Immortal grade medicinal herbs are treasures of heaven and earth, even more precious than soul bones. Even our Treasure Gathering Pavilion hasn't obtained any for over a hundred years."

"As expected!" Yuwen Tuo sighed. Although the things here were very good, their quality was limited.

"However, although there are no immortal grade medicinal herbs, there is a stalk of sixth-grade Purple Zoysia. It has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating origin, tonifying qi and increasing cultivation. It's also quite good," the shopping guide lady said.

"Sixth-grade Purple Zoysia, huh." Yuwen Tuo felt a bit regretful; if only it were ninth-grade.

Back then, Yu Xiaogang had eaten a ninth-grade one. If a ninth-grade Purple Zoysia was the finest among lingzhi mushrooms, infinitely close to an immortal grade medicinal herb, then a sixth-grade one was at most a high-grade lingzhi. Don't just look at the three-grade difference; in reality, its medicinal efficacy was less than one-third of a ninth-grade Purple Zoysia.
