Chapter 440: Chapter 315: One Hundred Million, Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox

“The transaction amount is only twice the contribution amount, so it’s clear that using items for transactions would be more cost-effective, right?” Chu Mu, after referring to the data, quickly saw that there were some unusual aspects to the transaction amounts and contribution amounts.

The transaction value refers to the total amount of items bought or sold by the Soul Pet Master within the Soul Hall. Chu Mu felt that anyone with a brain should choose to focus on the transaction value, so they wouldn’t lose too much money.

“Young Master, the trading value above level 3 cannot be used as a bargaining chip for obtaining titles. No matter how much you trade, you can only get one title value in the end. This is a special case and a way for the Soul Hall to control such transactions. It is somewhat mandatory for the members of the Soul Hall to trade internally. Of course, compared to the discounts and rewards of the titles, this indirect forcing is not excessive, and many people are willing to trade items within the Soul Hall because the transaction value can be exchanged for the title value.” Fox Elder said.

“This is really complicated.” Chu Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“If it wasn’t complicated, how could it support such a huge internal transaction? You should know how many cities and Soul Halls there are and how huge the amount of data is for transactions every day. Since Young Master will follow the Soul Hall’s path in the future, you can actually sell your items to the Soul Hall. At the beginning, you might suffer a small loss, but later on, the return you get will naturally be more than the amount you get from the trading place, especially when you desperately need a certain type of Spirit Item. The price in the trading place can easily be distorted by some people’s misconduct, and you will have to bleed then.” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu usually had to deduct 10% of the money as the seller’s fee in the trading place, while in the Soul Hall, he didn’t need this discount. The most important thing was that he could obtain Spirit Items by enjoying a 30% discount and priority selection, which was certainly more cost-effective than buying items in the trading place.

“A seventh-level Title comes with a Seventh Level Soul technique every year, which is a pretty good benefit. A Seventh Level Soul technique costs nearly 10 million.” Chu Mu exclaimed.

“Of course, the Soul Hall is one of the most authoritative organizations, after all. Without some high rewards, those Soul Hall old fellows sitting on mountains of gold would have no face to recruit Soul Pet Master elites, and no one would be willing to work for the Soul Hall. In fact, I’ve compared it – the rewards at the Soul Hall are probably second to none among the large organizations.” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu’s good feelings toward the Soul Hall rose sharply. Chu Mu now needed to use ice attribute Spirit Items to lower the temperature of his soul almost every period of time. This was a considerable expense.

There are actually many ice attribute Spirit Items in the Soul Hall. Being able to buy them at 70% off is really worthwhile. Chu Mu decisively set his goal on the Seventh Level Title.

“The young master has a low-grade Monarch-level young pet on him. Trading it in the Soul Hall, the transaction value must exceed the standard of 40 million. Taking out 20 million as a contribution to the Soul Hall and completing a Seventh-Level Title mission, he can obtain a Seventh Level Title!”

Chu Mu found it painful to give away 20 million for free, but it was not a small sum of money to him.

“The price of the Ice Thousand Frost at Level 8 is 40 million. With a 30% discount, it would cost 28 million. So, I will probably lose about 8 million now. But later on, I will be able to enjoy such discounts every month, which is still a better deal.” Chu Mu made up his mind to obtain the title, which would be of great help to his future transactions.

The clerk looked at Chu Mu, waiting for his instructions. After a long time, seeing that Chu Mu didn’t say much, he asked in a very low voice, “Sir, do you want to put your Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird on the list and let our Soul Hall’s professional seller set the price? If you are not satisfied with the seller’s price, you can cancel the transaction.”

“Well, let the appraiser do the appraisal.” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu, as a Soul Pet Master, naturally did a simple appraisal of the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird before putting it up for sale. He roughly estimated that the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird should be able to sell for around 60 million.

The appraisal by the appraiser was very meticulous. Chu Mu would definitely have to wait for some time. Considering the title issue, Chu Mu also inquired about the clerk, “Is there any Seventh Level Title mission?”

The Soul Hall clerk quickly took out a thick book and started looking through it. He soon replied, “There is a group of soul pet groups with an average strength of Seventh Rank Commanders on the plains to the south. The area is rich in Rock Attribute crystals. The higher-ups hope that someone will sweep away those soul pets and station our people in that crystal mine area; serve as a Sixth Level Title for two years, senior member of the Soul Hall’s enforcement… ”

“What’s the fastest one?” Chu Mu didn’t want to waste too much time on other things.

Working in a position is definitely impossible. Although there are salaries, it takes too much time and does not fit Chu Mu’s nature of traveling around. The growth of strength will be too slow. As for clearing the way for the Soul Hall, Chu Mu is also reluctant. Having just climbed out of the wilderness and mountains, Chu Mu has killed many soul pets and is a bit tired of it.

“The annual competition in Dun City is today. If you can get into the top ten, you can get the seventh level title value.” The clerk said.

“The top ten? It shouldn’t be difficult, right?” Chu Mu muttered to himself.

“That… it’s very difficult…” The clerk thought for a moment but still felt it necessary to remind the young master of the Soul Hall who was at the level of a young master.

“That’s it then, just sign me up.” Chu Mu hadn’t fought with a Soul Pet Master in a long time, so he used this opportunity to hone himself.

“Alright…your name and current title are…” The clerk couldn’t say anything else, he could only do as Chu Mu said.

“Chu Chen, the title should be level 0, right?” Chu Mu said. Since the Deputy Order is not considered a title level, Chu Mu is indeed just a little figure at level 0.

“Level 0?” The clerk asked doubtfully, as if he had misheard.

“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded without further explanation. After leaving the trivial matters to the clerk, he continued to peruse the long list, looking for anything he might need.

Chu Mu’s main priority was to upgrade the stages of his Soul Pets. After half a year of battle experience, he felt he should buy some Spirit Items to help his Soul Pets make some progress.

As his strength increased, Chu Mu noticed a clear distinction between Spirit Items that improved Soul Pet stages and those that enhanced Soul Pet attributes. Most Spirit Items only improved a Soul Pet’s stage or its attributes.

It was evident that the value of Spirit Items that improved Soul Pet attributes increased drastically, and at the Monarch Level, not everyone could afford them.

Chu Mu quickly skimmed the list. A myriad of Spirit Items with various attributes, effects, and uses would occasionally become confusing…

“Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox!!”

Suddenly, several striking characters caught Chu Mu’s eye, causing his heart to skip a beat!

The Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox was precisely what he had prepared for Mo Ye!!

Mo Ye’s level could be upgraded through mutation, and Mo Ye was always ahead of Chu Mu’s other Soul Pets, making it hard for him to purchase the needed Spirit Items. Now, to come across such a good item at random, his eyes lit up.

“Help me check the details of the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox,” Chu Mu told the clerk.

“Oh, please wait a moment.” The Soul Hall clerk flipped through the thick book and finally pulled out a sheet after a while.

“The Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox, a Tenth Rank Nine-tailed Flame Fox’s energy heart, has a significant upgrading effect on Demon Spirit-type Soul Pets. The price is 100 million… This is a Level 9 Spirit Item…”

“100 million!!” Chu Mu gasped.

That’s no joke; 100 million – Chu Mu didn’t know how long it would take him to earn that much. Moreover, only a Level 8 Title could get a discount on Level 9 Spirit Items. This discount would save him an entire 30 million.

By saving 30 million, Chu Mu finally realized the importance of a title!

“This treasure has been in the Soul Hall for quite some time, and no one has been able to afford it yet. However, if someone who needs it comes along, they would be willing to spend the money to buy it,” said the Soul Hall clerk.

Spirit Items come in many varieties, and often the attributes of purchased Spirit Items are general. However, encountering a Spirit Item that is directly suitable for one’s Soul Pet, like this one, is extremely rare. Such Spirit Items often have a bonus effect on the Soul Pet.

For example, the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox could directly enhance other Demon Spirit-type Soul Pets from Seventh Rank 5th Stage to Seventh Rank 8th Stage. If used to strengthen a member of the Flame Fox family, it could increase their ranks to Seventh Rank Ninth Stage – a total of four stages. Most importantly, the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox could enhance Mo Ye’s Demon Spirit attributes to a certain extent!

Such opportunities were rare. If Chu Mu had to strengthen Mo Ye with other Spirit Items, he might have to spend over 100 million.

Chu Mu didn’t want to miss out. Even if it cost 100 million, he had to rack his brains to secure the Flame Fox’s Heart for Mo Ye!

“I want this, but I can’t afford it right now. Can you give me some extra time to raise the funds?” Chu Mu gritted his teeth, determined not to let someone else buy it first.

“The owner of the item is in Dun City. He has expressed his willingness to reserve it before, but the reservation period is only one week, and payment must be made within that week,” said the clerk.

“This…” Chu Mu showed a troubled expression, but after careful consideration, he decided: “A week it is, then!”
