“Sister Jiujiu, you are looking for Huo Yuhao…” Vina looked at Xu Jiujiu. As both were princesses, their status were not too different. In addition, they had worked together before, so they knew each other quite well.

"Sister Vina is here too, but I'm not here to see you this time." Xu Jiujiu said as he came in front of everyone and then took out a soul guide cannon from the storage soul guide device.

"Huo Yuhao, what do you mean by this!"

Looking at the soul guide cannon that Jiujiu had taken out, Huo Yuhao immediately showed a professional smile like a salesman. "So this is what Princess Jiujiu wanted."

"What is this?" Princess Vina frowned. She could see that this was a kind of soul guide cannon, but she knew that if this soul guide cannon was just an ordinary soul guide cannon, Xu Jiujiu would definitely not come here specially.

"A soul guide cannon is just a special kind of soul guide cannon. It does not require a soul master to use it. Although its power is only level four, it has the range of a level five soul guide cannon." Princess Jiujiu briefly explained to Vina.

"What!" Vina stood up instantly. The range of the fifth-level soul guide cannon is not important. What is important is that this thing does not require a soul master to control it.

It takes a lot of resources and time to train a five-ring soul king. If you want to train someone into a five-ring soul king, he needs to have an innate fifth level soul power. Although people at the innate fifth level are not geniuses, they are definitely not uncommon.

Therefore, it can be said that soul masters at the level of the Five-Ring Soul King are not a renewable resource in the short term.

Until now, only spirit masters at the level of a five-ring spirit king could use a level five spirit guide. However, the spirit guide cannon given by Huo Yuhao allowed ordinary people to use a spirit guide with a range comparable to that of a five-ring spirit king. Ordinary people could almost be used as a low-profile version of a five-ring spirit king. How could Vina and Xu Jiujiu not be excited? "Sister Jiujiu, are you serious? Does this spirit guide really have the range of a level five spirit guide?"

“Of course.” Princess Jiujiu replied to Vina, then looked at Huo Yuhao and said, “Tell me, what price do you want to sell this soul weapon design drawing for?”

Huo Yuhao smiled. "Excuse me, Princess Jiujiu, the design drawings of this improved version of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow involve the core secrets of our Tang Sect, so we will never sell them."

Xu Jiujiu said angrily. "Then show me what this Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon means!"

Huo Yuhao spread out his only remaining hand. "Don't be angry, Princess. We don't sell the blueprints, but we can sell the finished product of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. As for the price... just add 30% to the price of a normal level 5 soul guide."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's offer, he became even angrier. "What did you say? You're selling this thing for more than a normal level 5 soul guide! This soul guide is clearly made of better steel, and there's not even any rare metal in it! You're selling it for more than a level 5 soul guide!"

Huo Yuhao smiled as he told lies that he himself did not believe. "Princess Jiujiu, please do not be angry. This is just ordinary steel used on the outside. Many of the core areas inside are made of rare metals. Therefore, the cost of this soul guide is actually not low."

Xu Jiujiu sneered. "The cost is not low? Then why don't you disassemble this soul guide to see how many rare metals are used in it? It's 30% more expensive than a normal level 5 soul guide. Then the price of the entire level 5 soul guide is your pure profit!"

Huo Yuhao was speechless. What Xu Jiujiu said was true. The cost of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was indeed not even as high as that of an ordinary fourth-level soul guide. However, for the rise of the Tang Sect, the price of this soul guide had to be high, even if it was not actually worth the price. But who could blame the Star Luo Empire for being faced with the threat of the Sun Moon Empire?

This pure seller's market is Huo Yuhao's biggest advantage. As for what will happen to the Star Luo Empire, it is just a buyer. The rise and fall of the Tang Sect is the top priority in Huo Yuhao's eyes. As for whether the Star Luo Empire will be destroyed or not, that is purely a by-product.

“Huo Yuhao, if this soul guide really has the range of a fifth-level soul guide and ordinary people can also use it, how many of these Zhuge Divine Crossbows do you have? My Tianhun Empire wants them all.” Princess Vina spoke when Xu Jiujiu was angry.

In the original novel, when Huo Yuhao was negotiating the price with Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiujiu felt that it was expensive, so he asked for a price reduction. Coincidentally, Princess Vina came to see Huo Yuhao at that time, and in the end, not only did the price not drop, but just because it did not increase again, the two of them developed a great liking for Huo Yuhao.

However, this time, because Vina was in the same team as Huo Yuhao, Xu Jiujiu did not allow Huo Yuhao to raise the price at will as in the original book.

"Sister Vina, it's already this late, and you Tianhun are still planning to trick us Xingluo!"

“Sister Jiujiu, it’s not that our Tianhun Empire wants to trick your Xingluo Empire. I didn’t expect Huo Yuhao and his men to have this fixed soul guide. Although we are a team, we belong to different forces.”

As Vina spoke, she cursed Huo Yuhao in her heart.

Why didn't they take this kind of thing out earlier? Instead, they had to wait until Princess Jiujiu was here so that people wouldn't have time to think about lowering the price. Huo Yuhao really figured out how to make money from national disasters.

He could not blame his grandfather for giving a hundred thousand year soul bone to all contestants except Huo Yuhao who had nothing. The main body gave him resources, helped him with revenge, and protected him as he embarked on the path of an evil soul master. But he enjoyed all the protection and got every bit of resources he wanted. But if he talked about its relationship with the main body sect, he would never admit that he was a member of the main body sect.

Xu Jiujiu ignored Vina's words and looked at Huo Yuhao again. "Huo Yuhao, just tell me if the price can be lowered. A price 30% lower than a normal level 5 soul guide is my bottom line. Any higher is not negotiable."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "This price is 30% higher than the normal price of a level 5 soul weapon. This is also my bottom line. In addition, because we in the Tang Sect are short of manpower and our production capacity is limited, we can only sell a maximum of 100 Zhuge Divine Crossbows each month."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"You... Humph!" Xu Jiujiu snorted coldly, then turned and left without any hesitation.

As soon as Xu Jiujiu left, Vina also started bargaining, hoping to save as much money as possible to buy the Tang Sect's Zhuge Divine Crossbow, but Huo Yuhao insisted on the price and refused to agree.

…………

After the price discussion with Xu Jiujiu and Vina ended in an unpleasant manner, Bei Bei approached Huo Yuhao alone.

"Junior brother, is this price too high?" Beibei said worriedly. He felt uneasy because he did not sell the soul guide this time. There were still a lot of Zhuge Divine Crossbows in stock. If they were not sold, the Tang Sect would go bankrupt because they could not pay the salaries of the soul guides.

However, Huo Yuhao was not worried about this. "No, Senior Brother, for the rise of the Tang Sect, this price is necessary. Moreover, the Tang Sect is the only one that can make this kind of soul guide cannon. They have no choice."
