In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 98 Children Not for Sale, City Guards or Evil Soul Masters?
"Wow, they actually sell refrigerators."

Bai Ran had seen his share of good stuff, and when he entered this soul tool shop, he found that the soul tools displayed on the table were of significantly higher quality than those he had seen in the other shops before.

The key point is that the passerby wasn't lying to him; this store really did sell refrigerators.

Does the capital city of Sun and Moon also have its own Chaoyang residents?
"Not for sale, especially not for children."

Just as Bai Ran pointed at the refrigerator and asked the shop owner how many gold soul coins it cost.

The middle-aged man leaning back in his chair said lazily.

"Why not sell? I have money."

Seeing the middle-aged man's attitude, Bai Ran assumed that the other party thought he was too young to come up with that much money.

"You have money? How much money do you have?"

Little one, go home early. Mingdu isn't very safe lately.

After saying something leisurely, the middle-aged man squinted his eyes, as if preparing to take a short nap.

"Hmph, if you don't want to sell, then don't sell."

Seeing the shop owner's eccentric temperament, Bai Ran lost all interest in buying anything.

Moreover, judging from the quality of the soul tools in the shop, the shop owner must be a soul master of at least level seven.

Bai Ran: The entire Mingdu is so big, I don't believe I can't find a soul tool shop willing to sell me a refrigerator.

"Little baby, you can't go."

Just as Bai Ran was about to leave with Xiao Bing.

The middle-aged man, who had been leaning back in his chair, suddenly sat up, and his tone of voice became more serious.

"What you want to do, let me tell you, don't have any improper thoughts about me."

Bai Ran: Kidnapping? With Di Tian's dragon scales around, it seems there's nothing to be afraid of.

"What are you thinking about, child? Do you see the guards outside the door?"

The middle-aged man stood at the door and pointed to a small patrol of soldiers passing by outside.

"I see it. Is there a problem?"

As the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, it's not surprising that there are guards patrolling the city to maintain the daily order of the royal capital.

"Child, do you remember what I just said about how Mingdu is not safe recently?"
Recently, evil spirit masters have been impersonating city guards and specifically kidnapping children your age.

Rather than an act, it was more accurate to say that the evil spirit master colluded with high-ranking officials in the city guard, each getting what they wanted.

In just a few months, more than a thousand children have gone missing.

This included the middle-aged boss's daughter.

Nobody knows where those children went.

However, given the cruelty of evil spirit masters, they are probably already dead.

"real or fake?"

Although I've read the original work and know that the headquarters of the evil soul master organization "Holy Spirit Cult" is in the Sun Moon Empire.

But this is way too exaggerated.

They even came disguised as city guards.

Why don't evil spirit masters just pretend to be teachers at the spirit master academy and use the excuse of extracurricular practice to lure all the students out of the academy?

Evil Soul Master: 666, plus the cake hand.

"It's highly likely. If your child can contact your parents, do so as soon as possible and have them come pick you up."

After all, this was the capital city, so they didn't dare go too far, only daring to kidnap children who had gone out alone or were separated from their parents.

"But my family members are at work. Boss, are you still selling this refrigerator? If not, I'm leaving."

"I told you, the child isn't for sale."

Seeing that the other party wouldn't listen to his advice, the middle-aged man pretended to be disappointed and sat back down in his chair. However, after Bai Ran led Xiao Bing out of the store...

The middle-aged man darted ahead and followed behind the two.

If he hadn't sent his daughter out to buy salt alone, she wouldn't have been kidnapped by those beasts disguised as guards.

Now, the middle-aged man felt a sense of familiarity with the little green-haired girl, especially her taciturn demeanor, which resembled his missing daughter.

……

the other side

The middle-aged man's intuition was spot on; this group of city guards was indeed an evil spirit master in disguise.

Evil Soul Master A: "Boss, the commander of the East Gate Guard is really greedy. In less than an hour, he demanded a full 10,000 gold soul coins from us."

Evil Soul Master B: "Yeah, boss. If we had known, we would have entered through the West Gate. I heard from another group that the guard at the West Gate only charges five thousand gold soul coins per hour."

Evil Soul Master C: "Alright, alright, stop complaining. This is just a small amount of money. Don't forget the cult leader's mission: to find a pair of virgin boys and girls, and to have them with extremely pure souls."

The purer the soul, the more powerful it becomes after it falls into darkness.

Evil Soul Master A: "Brother, how do you determine if a soul is completely pure?"

Evil Soul Master C: "Are you stupid? When the cult leader sent our teams on this mission, he issued us all soul tools. As long as we follow the guidance of the soul tools, we can find the target. Old man, take out your soul tools."

With only an hour left, the leader of the evil spirit masters was clearly getting anxious.

After all, he knew the cult leader's methods best. The last group that failed to complete the mission well became nourishment for the cult leader's natal soul tool.

He didn't want to endure the pain of having his soul forcibly ripped away.

Evil Soul Master B: "Okay, big brother."

Those who do the most work are always the most honest.

This seemingly simple-minded "city guard" took out a device that looked like a detector.

"Brother, the pointer has moved?"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and look for them in the direction the pointer is pointing!"

If they fail to complete the mission, they will have to continue being brothers inside the cult leader's natal soul tool.

……

"Big brother, there's a boy and a girl."

Upon finding their target, the three evil spirit masters disguised as city guards were overjoyed.

The eldest brother, in particular, was even happier than if he had drunk fake alcohol.

Successfully completing the leader's task will not only exempt you from punishment, but also grant you a generous amount of cultivation resources.

He's stuck at the bottleneck of the Soul King realm; it's time for him to relax a bit.

Generally speaking, evil spirit masters do not have a bottleneck to break through; as long as they have resources, they can keep breaking through.

However, within the evil spirit master organization, resources are almost entirely controlled by the higher-ups.

Only by completing the tasks assigned by higher-ups can one gain further opportunities for advancement.

As for leaving the organization, becoming a rogue cultivator, and then relying on one's own strength to acquire resources?

To put it simply, he lost the organization's protection in the morning, and in the afternoon, because he had killed too many people, he was kicked to death by a powerful soul master who arrived at the scene. (Having a powerful background is still very important.)
"Really."

Seeing the young boy and girl ahead, the remaining evil spirit master was also very happy.

Two vibrant lives, at this moment, have become warm resources for cultivation in the eyes of these three evil soul masters.

Evil Soul Master: Young friend, we are so eager to improve, please grant our wish.
