Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 263 Xuanzi's Ingenious Plan
“Okay.” Xiao Xiao nodded. “Then let’s go to the treasure appreciation event now.”

Soon, the two set off from Shrek Academy, heading towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Generally speaking, once the core disciples of the outer academy receive an invitation, they can go to the Treasure Pavilion to participate in the treasure appreciation event.

But for Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who have already been promoted to inner court disciples, they can set off to participate in the treasure appreciation event at any time if they wish, and the gates of the Treasure Pavilion will always be open for them.

Although they did not achieve good results in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament, the root cause is that these team members should not bear the responsibility for Shrek Academy's poor performance.

Although the elders of the Sea God Pavilion are a bit old, they are not so confused as to be unable to distinguish right from wrong in such a simple matter.

In preparation for the next Soul Battle Tournament, the elders decided to increase their training for them. Wang Dong and his group of former preliminaries were able to obtain the status of inner court disciples. Of course, becoming an inner court disciple of Shrek Academy meant facing danger.

After all, according to the academy's rules, the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy are all members of the Shrek Inspection Team, shouldering the responsibility of hunting down evil soul masters. Basically, every year, inner court disciples sacrifice themselves in the process of hunting down evil soul masters.

Soon, the two arrived at Jubaoge.

The so-called Treasure Pavilion is actually a very huge building. It has four floors and is more than 20 meters high. It occupies a large area and is magnificent in appearance. Many people come and go at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

The four maids at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion greeted and saw off guests in a polite manner. The maids were all beautiful and had smiles on their faces, which made them very likable.

The two walked to the door, showed their identities as inner courtyard disciples to the maid, and were immediately escorted inside by a maid in a white dress.

After all, Shrek City is essentially Shrek Academy's territory, and any business has to rely on Shrek Academy to survive.

Those who dare to challenge the authority of Shrek Academy would naturally not be able to run any shops here.

The maid in the white dress looked at Wang Dong with an even more respectful expression: "Mr. Wang, we meet again. When you came here last time, you only took away a soul bone. I hope that you can still get what you want this time at the treasure appreciation event."

Jubao Pavilion is a rather special business because it is essentially an enterprise of Shrek Academy. The people here generally treat Shrek Academy members well. In addition, Wang Dong's promotion from a core disciple of the outer academy to a disciple of the inner academy has made the girl in the white dress even more respectful to him.

Wang Dong nodded and said, "I hope so. Let's go, take us to the treasure viewing party on the second floor."

That's what she said, but she didn't have much hope. After all, for someone like Wang Dong, the young sect master of the Haotian Sect, soul bones weren't a rare commodity. If she wanted, she could immediately collect a complete set of high-age soul bones.

However, being able to collect a complete set of high-age soul bones does not mean that every soul bone is extremely suitable for Wang Dong. This is because once a soul bone is fused, a great price must be paid to remove it. Therefore, Wang Dong's current selection of soul bones naturally prioritizes suitability.

"Please follow me, Mr. Wang and Miss Xiao." The maid in the white dress led Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao upstairs.

The three of them quickly arrived at the second floor, where a large number of booths came into view, each with clearly marked prices for its products.

The goods were plentiful, including soul bones, soul tools, and a large amount of resources to assist soul masters in their cultivation. "They have whale glue!" Xiao Xiao looked excitedly at the display on her left. "And it's golden in color, much better than the inferior whale glue we saw at the last treasure appreciation event. By the way, what about that spoiled whale glue? Did someone buy it?"

An embarrassed look immediately appeared on the girl in the white dress: "No, basically no buyers are willing to purchase it. I guess it will probably just sit in the warehouse collecting dust."

“That’s more like it.” Wang Dong crossed his arms. “Although that stuff is supposed to be millennium whale glue, it’s black on the outside, which means it’s spoiled. If you take this kind of whale glue, it might even upset your stomach. Xiao Xiao, buy this golden whale glue, and then we can look at the other things.”

Xiao Xiao nodded, then immediately paid for the golden-yellow Millennium Whale Glue. Led by the girl in the white dress, the two continued to examine other items.

At this moment, two figures were standing on the third floor, watching Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's actions.

Elder Lin asked, "Elder Xuan, why are you so concerned about Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao? They're just here to buy things, yet you're secretly following them?"

As one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Lin's seat was near Xian Lin'er, so she was naturally considered a member of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. Of course, she also had the responsibility of managing the Treasure Pavilion, so she would sometimes come to the Treasure Pavilion to check on the situation.

Xuanzi said without turning his head, "I am someone who has made mistakes, so naturally I cannot allow outstanding students to have safety issues again. As for the others in the academy, I don't need to take too much care of them, after all, there are many elders in the academy."

But since Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao have already left the academy, I naturally have to follow them to prevent them from getting into trouble. After all, the last time Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao came here, they were intercepted and killed.

They were lucky last time and weren't killed, but if they'd been even less lucky, we wouldn't have been able to explain ourselves to the Haotian Sect.

"Elder Xuan's insight is profound." Elder Lin looked pleased, thinking to himself that although Elder Xuan had made mistakes, he was ultimately able to admit and correct them. As long as Elder Xuan was more serious in the future, the safety of the students should be guaranteed.

Xuanzi continued, "By the way, sell all that blackened whale glue in the warehouse to the Sun Moon Empire. Since this stuff has already gone bad, it can't be given to our students, otherwise they might get sick from it."

Elder Lin was somewhat astonished: "Elder Xuan, the people of the Sun Moon Empire aren't fools. Why would they want this kind of inferior whale glue?"

Xuanzi's face revealed a confident expression: "You don't understand. Recently, I received news that Mingdetang is going to buy a large batch of whale glue at a premium because of a shortage of whale glue resources. They will basically accept any kind of whale glue, regardless of its color."

Moreover, traders can choose not to accept gold soul coins but instead accept Mingdetang soul tools. These deteriorated whale glues are just sitting in the warehouse anyway, so why not take them out and exchange them for some Mingdetang soul tools?

Although I had a very poor impression of soul tools, I now admit that their significance in this era far surpasses what it once was, and you should also be aware of the value of the Mingde Hall's soul tools.

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin showed a look of surprise. Although she had the responsibility of managing the Treasure Pavilion, she usually spent most of her time in seclusion cultivating, all in order to make herself stronger.

Therefore, her sensitivity in receiving messages is actually not as good as Xuanzi's, who drinks and eats chicken legs all day long.
