Soto City is the economic center of the Barak Kingdom.
It is located in the heart of the Barak Kingdom, connecting the main trade routes to the east, south, west and north. Its influence is second only to that of Barak City.
As an economically important city, the sounds of hawking and shouting were endless. Its prosperity was slightly inferior to that of Martial Soul City.
In a shop with a soul master shop sign, a boy who looked to be about eight years old walked in.
The visibility inside the store is rather dim.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses was lying in the rocking chair.
He looks to be almost fifty years old.
Although he is not young, he is very strong.
His face shape is very distinctive, with a slightly protruding chin, wide cheekbones, a flat face, and a slightly hooked nose, which can be described as looking like a shoe sole.
Even with his eyes closed, one could see a cunning look on his face.
He wore a pair of black-framed crystal glasses on his face. The frames were a rigid square shape, giving people a weird feeling.
Tuoba Yan scanned the shops.
There was a fluctuation of soul power inside the shop.
The soul power contained in some soul guides will automatically leak out when they have not recognized their master.
There aren't many types of soul tools; they are mainly storage devices.
In the corner of a wall, Tuoba Yan's eyes lit up as he saw a gray crystal.
"Plate Crystal!"
Tuoba Yan suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm as he continued to browse the store.
After a while, he took out a bronze dagger from the cabinet and walked up to Flanders. "You are Flanders the Four-Eyed Cat Owl, right?"
"Buy it or get out!"
As expected by Tuoba Yan, Flanders' tone was very cold.
Tuoba Yan smiled at the cold words and said, "This bronze artifact of yours is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. But it was unearthed too hastily. The smell of horse urine is still there. We should wait until the smell dissipates."
Flanders supported the frame of his glasses with his fingers, opened his eyes a little, and said in a bad tone: "Are you here to ruin my show?"
"Of course not."
Tuoba Yan maintained a warm smile throughout, saying, "Everyone's in business; there's no rule against cheating. The patterns on this dagger are quite well done. Although it's a fake antique, its sharpness is barely to my liking."
After saying that, Tuoba Yan pulled out his dagger and slashed it, and the sharp dagger cut off a corner of the table.
"Tell me, how much is this dagger?"
"One hundred gold soul coins."
"If it's genuine, it'd be worth far more than this. Alright, I'm in a good mood today, deal."
"But my dagger requires two hundred gold soul coins."
Are you sure you don't want to change it?
"No change, the price is 500 Gold Soul Coins."
five hundred?
In just a short while, the price of a fake item soared to five hundred gold soul coins.
The smile on Tuoba Yan's lips became more obvious, and he stared at Flanders with bright eyes.
Flanders closed his eyes, ignoring Tuoba Yan's expression. As the boss, he urged impatiently, "If you want to buy, pay. If not, leave!"
Tuoba Yan glanced around and picked out two more items: a stone and a gray crystal. He placed them together with the dagger and said, "I won't haggle with you. These three items will cost a total of six hundred gold soul coins."
Flander glanced at the two items that Tuoba Yan had picked out from the shop.
Gray crystal is opaque and looks dirty. Nobles prefer purple crystal.
As for that stone.
It looked like a piece of ore. However, it was different from ordinary ores. In the hot summer, it was cold, and many water droplets condensed on its surface.
"Eight hundred."
"Seven hundred."
"one thousand!"
Tuoba Yan stared at Flander with some displeasure.
During the bargaining between the buyer and seller, Flanders not only refused to lower the price but actually raised it.
Tuoba Yan angrily cursed, "Flender, everyone says you're a profiteer, but you can't really take advantage of me, right?"
Flander seemed to enjoy the feeling of doing business, ignoring Tuoba Yan's curses, and said, "If you don't have enough money, you can pay five hundred gold soul coins first. Pay the rest slowly. You will definitely be able to pay off the remaining amount within three years!"
Three years?
Tuoba Yan smiled secretly in his heart.
Since the end of the Four Colleges Trial, he has been training in the Advanced Soul Master Academy's mimicry training field for more than a year.
Now, his soul power level has been raised from level 34 to level 38.
Recently, he has been working hard to refine his soul power internally, so as to prevent outsiders from predicting his true soul master level through the soul power aura he emits.
Although he is not yet able to fully refine his soul energy, he has already achieved initial results.
Even Flanders, a seven-ringed Soul Saint and well-known in the Soul Master world, habitually misjudged Tuoba Yan's Soul Master level, believing that Tuoba Yan only had the cultivation of a two-ringed Great Soul Master.
When a soul master is promoted to a great soul master, he can go to the Spirit Hall every month to receive a subsidy of ten gold soul coins.
Three years means more than three hundred gold soul coins.
In addition to earning gold soul coins through other channels, Flanders said that Tuoba Yan would be able to pay off the remaining balance within three years.
Tuoba Yan snapped his fingers and took out a bag of gold soul coins from the storage soul guide, placed it on the table, and then put the three purchased items into his own ring storage soul guide.
When he took two or three steps, Flanders' voice rang out again.
"You don't have enough money!"
"Flender, don't push your luck. There are a thousand gold soul coins on the table, not one less!"
"You destroyed my table, pay me."
Hearing this, Tuoba Yan looked at the corner of the table where the dagger had been chopped off and asked, "How much?"
"One thousand gold soul coins."
"A thousand gold soul coins?" Tuoba Yan was so angry he almost laughed out loud, and he scoffed without any politeness, "Heh heh, Flander, are you out of your mind? A regular cedar table is worth at most three silver soul coins on the market, but you want me to pay you a thousand gold soul coins?"
"That's the price of my table. If you don't have money, you can choose to keep the three items I just bought."
At the door, Lingyuan Douluo couldn't bear it anymore.
Lingyuan Douluo had never encountered such a profiteer in his travels across the continent.
Tuoba Yan is a member of the Red Sequence that Lingyuan Douluo is responsible for protecting. If someone bullies Tuoba Yan, Lingyuan Douluo will feel that it is a slap in her face.
She walked into the store and was about to speak when Tuoba Yan raised his hand to stop her.
Tuoba Yan put away his smile and said in a serious tone, "Flender, you shouldn't go too far when you're bullying others. Don't think that just because I'm young, you think I'm easy to bully. I advise you to be kind!"
