Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 45 Heart, Poverty Limits Your Imagination
"Hahaha……"

"It seems you know quite a bit about me."

"Tell me, how did you know my secret?"

Xu Tiance raised his eyebrows and looked at him jokingly, "What if I don't tell you? Even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have our righteousness. Do you really want to kill us?"

"There are so many people up there, so naturally I won't break the rules of the black market. But here, who knows? To be honest, the bones and blood of soul masters are also excellent materials for making soul guides!"

Meng Hongchen immediately took a fighting stance and stood in front of Xu Tiance.

"One-Eye, I've disliked you for a long time. You still want to hurt the man I like, how dare you!"

"Little girl, I hope you can still be so strong even when your tendons and bones are torn apart."

"Why bother? Why did it come to this?" Xu Tiance sighed helplessly, still maintaining a relaxed attitude. "I wanted to do business with you, but people with bad hearts don't do things that are worthy of public display."

"Your Highness is right, why is it so?"

The sudden voice of the fourth person made the one-eyed boss stunned. "Who! Who is talking?"

He looked around nervously when a large hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder. The powerful soul power made it impossible for him to move at all.

"Among the seventh-level soul masters, you are considered to be quite thoughtful and capable. It's a pity that you are still a bit stupid in other aspects."

"Mr. Ma!" Meng Hongchen exclaimed in surprise.

The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Mr. Ma. Along the way, he used a hidden soul guide to silently follow behind the two of them and protect them.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with him?"

"Keep it for now. Let me see if his research over the years is actually worthwhile. One-Eye, you'd better hope you have the real talent."

"Who are you?"

"Shut up!" Old Ma raised his knife and slashed, making the man fall asleep on the spot.

Xu Tiance came to the workbench in the center of the armory and picked up the blueprint on the table. It was covered with densely packed magic arrays and symbols.

As Xu Tiance flipped through the drawings and records, he found them more and more interesting.

It has to be said that the one-eyed boss has a bad temper and a bad heart, and he wants to rob others if he disagrees with something, but there is still something to his wild ideas and creativity.

"I didn't expect him to have quite a bit of experience in studying soul power compression. No wonder he's so confident in the soul guide he created. The sudden burst of soul power compressed several times over is naturally far more powerful than ordinary soul guides of the same level."

"Your Highness, soul guide compression technology is also a technical barrier we have been working on to overcome, and it has been very effective so far. We don't need him."

"Mr. Ma, that's wrong. Research is about trying different ideas and methods to find the relatively optimal solution. What we have may not be the best, and what he thinks may not be wrong. At least, I think these things still have their merits."

Xu Tiance and Mr. Ma were still studying the manuscript of the one-eyed boss. On the other side, Meng Hongchen was also curiously looking at the many soul guides.

She picked up one of the soul guides and placed it in front of the two of them.

"Meng'er, did you find anything?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I discovered that although this soul guide is level seven, the cost of its metal materials is much lower than that of an ordinary level seven soul guide."

"A low-cost seventh-level soul guide."

Xu Tiance immediately picked up the seventh-level soul guide and began to examine it. Elder Ma soon joined in, while Meng Hongchen explained what she had seen. "This seventh-level soul guide is called the 'Star-Splitting Soul Crossbow.' Its dark purple crossbow is forged from the vertebrae of a Ten Thousand Year Ghost Tiger, and each arrow is crafted from the feathers of a Star Falcon. Once launched, it travels at an incredible speed, making it difficult to dodge."

"This guy really knows how to make the best use of things."

Ma Lao put down the Star-Shattering Soul-Splitting Crossbow and said in a deep voice, "Soul beast bones are extremely tough. The trunks of some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are as effective as rare metals, and some can even grant special properties to weapons."

"Also, the soul power will flow more smoothly and naturally in the soul beast's bones, reducing the need to engrave the magic array."

Xu Tiance shook his head, "After all, he's just a little Doyle."

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

"Have you ever considered the consequences of using soul beast bones to create soul guides? If this method becomes mainstream, it will be an unprecedented disaster for soul beasts."

"The powerful ones in the Soul Beast Realm will definitely not allow Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts on a large scale and use their corpses to make Soul Guidance Devices to slaughter them. They will definitely fight back desperately and fight humans to the death."

Ma Lao nodded, "Your Highness is absolutely right. Moreover, the bones of soul beasts are not necessarily superior to rare metals, and engraving magic arrays on them is also quite difficult."

"Excluding the parts using soul beast bones, the raw materials of some components are also relatively cheap metals, which is slightly different from our preconceived notion."

Xu Tiance stared at the blueprints and the Star-Breaking Soul-Splitting Crossbow on the table and pondered quietly for a while.

"Meng'er, please wake up the boss."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When the one-eyed boss slowly woke up, he saw a touching face. For a moment, he thought he had come to heaven and met a fairy.

"Your Highness, he's awake."

Meng Hongchen returned to Xu Tiance's side in a coquettish manner and stood still.

Xu Tiance put down the soul guide in his hand. At this time, a row of soul guides were neatly arranged on the central workbench, all of which were the painstaking work of the one-eyed boss.

He supported himself on the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly and looked at the one-eyed boss, "Boss, let's have a negotiation."

"Humph!"

Xu Tiance tutted his words lightly, "Boss, you have to change this habit. Stop being so impatient and giving others such a sour face. I'm actually quite easy to talk to."

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to fart, just fart. Stop talking too much."

"Okay, then I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm interested in you, so come with me and return to the Sun-Moon Empire."

"You are indeed from the Sun and Moon Empire."

"Isn't it you too? If I'm not mistaken, your seventh-level soul mentor badge should be issued by the Mingdu Soul Mentor Academy. Coincidentally, my sister goes to school there, and I've seen the badges they give to teachers and students."

"So what? Since I left the Sun-Moon Empire, I will never go back."

"You must have your own reasons for leaving your homeland. I'm not interested in your privacy, but I think that instead of living your whole life in this dark place, it's better to go back and solve the problem. If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person. In life, only when your thoughts are clear can you live freely and unrestrainedly."

"You have no idea what's going on. It's easy to tell once your lips touch!"

"Poverty has limited your imagination, but fortunately, it hasn't completely restricted your research on soul guides. Some of your ideas are very interesting, and the things you create are quite practical. Think about it carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never see it again."
