Chapter 156: Prince Xuexing arrives first, goes on a shopping spree

Father, it looks like today won't be peaceful; our soul weapons will officially debut. The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, the Heavenly Dou Empire, and the Spirit Hall—these major powers will surely come. Outside the hall, Tai Nuo spoke.

Never mind what monsters and demons show up; if they come without causing trouble, they're guests. If they come to cause trouble, let them taste my fists.

Besides, your old man me is now a Title Douluo.

Scared of nothing!

Tai Tan said, completely unbothered.

Moreover, his eyes held some eagerness to try, and he even hoped these people would cause trouble.

Then he could display his divine might.

The people of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Family are closest here, so naturally they are the first to arrive.

The prince's carriage arrived, with golden cavalry clearing the way on both sides.

Afterwards, they all knelt down.

From the carriage cabin walked out a man dressed in noble attire.

The imperial prince stood tall, wearing a deep blue long robe that clung to his slender frame, the robe embroidered with intricate golden patterns, shimmering, appearing both solemn and splendid.

His shoulders were broad and strong, his robe sleeves swaying lightly in the wind, revealing a king's dignity.

The prince's hair was neatly combed, black as silk, smoothly draped over his shoulders.

Between his brows showed resolve and wisdom; beneath his thick brows, his eyes were deep and bright, as if able to see into people's hearts, his gaze like a torch, as if able to pierce all falsehood.

The prince wore jewels representing his status, which sparkled in the light, emitting a dazzling radiance.

Around his waist was a finely crafted belt inlaid with his family's crest, proclaiming his noble lineage.

As he walked, his steps were steady, carrying an undeniable majesty.

Although he wore a friendly smile and was approachable, his sharp eyes still revealed an irresistible authority.

Those around him regarded him with reverence; his presence alone was enough to quiet the scene.

Every gesture of this prince exuded an extraordinary aura and noble upbringing.

"Prince Xuexing's august presence, welcome welcome!" Tai Tan went up to greet him with a smile.

Regardless, this place is still within the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire; the other party is a prince, his status high, only below Emperor Xueye. Although Tai Tan is a Title Douluo, he is also a businessman, so naturally he would not actively reach out to strike a guest.

He still gave some face.

Prince Xuexing also felt considerable pressure, for he had received his older brother's order to come investigate, and at the same time wanted to win over the other side to join the imperial family, or obtain their method of crafting soul weapons.

After all, the empire had secretly obtained a few of these through some channels; they are indeed very useful.

If they could be issued to the troops, the combat ability of the Heavenly Dou Empire's soldiers would absolutely skyrocket!

Then they could defeat the Star Luo Empire's army, no longer feeling so stifled.

Therefore, the empire places great importance on soul weapons.

They must seize the initiative.

Moreover, Tai Tan is a powerful close-combat burst Soul Douluo, his strength very great.

The entire Heavenly Dou Empire has only Dugu Bo as a Title Douluo, and he hasn't been traced in recent years, so they are worried, wanting to rope in as much high-end combat power into the imperial family as possible.

Tai Tan is one of the most suitable candidates.

When Title Douluo do not appear, Soul Douluo are the strongest existence.

"I come by Emperor Xueye's order to congratulate Clan Chief Tai Tan on the grand opening of his Divine Craftsman Pavilion!"

Prince Xuexing immediately spoke in a manner neither humble nor arrogant.

As soon as his words fell, someone began bringing up gifts one after another.

Tai Nuo then went to accept these gifts.

"Thank you, and thank Emperor Xueye on my behalf as well. Let me take you inside to have a look." Tai Tan accepted it quite candidly.

Thus he brought Prince Xuexing into the hall.

Prince Xuexing was also stunned by the architecture inside.

"Damn, is this really a blacksmith?"

"It's practically more palace than the palace."

"When did the Power Clan get so rich?"

"Could it be that someone is backing them behind the scenes?"

Prince Xuexing thought: "Such a Clan Chief Tai Tan, Your Majesty is very interested in your pavilion's soul weapons; I don't know how we could cooperate."

"Just become a member; cooperation is simple. These are the current categories and list."

Tai Tan knew the first big order of the opening had appeared; he quickly turned into a salesman, began introducing, and also brought Prince Xuexing to look at the weapon types and explain their functions, etc.

This instantly made Prince Xuexing secretly click his tongue.

Unexpectedly, the Divine Craftsman Pavilion had already mastered such advanced soul weapon technology; if not controlled by the imperial family, it could very well become a major future problem for the imperial family.

His eyes flickered with a complex light.

While looking at the membership introduction, he also thought.

The highest level of soul weapons listed here is fourth tier.

Each tier requires topping up the corresponding member's Gold Soul Coin to obtain.

Not bad; it's according to monthly, or even yearly, membership fees.

These fees are within the range acceptable to the imperial family.

"With such a large number of weapons, can the Divine Craftsman Pavilion supply them?"

"Moreover, your customer base will be large."

Prince Xuexing asked a question that worried him somewhat.

"Rest assured, if we dare to write it, we can supply it." Tai Tan guaranteed it solemnly.

Alright, I'll top up to a Fourth Tier Member.

Fourth Tier Members can obtain soul tools from first to fourth tier.

First Tier Member: 10,000 Gold Soul Coins; Second Tier Member: 100,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Third Tier Member: 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Fourth Tier Member: 10,000,000 Gold Soul Coins.

As of now, only the Li family controls the soul‑tool technology; the pricing isn't up to them to decide, is it?

As for those commoners who lack sufficient funds, the Li family has also devised a plan.

Naturally, there are online and offline plans.

Online, it's the Divine Artisan Pavilion; the Divine Artisan Building officially sells in membership form.

Offline, it's through shady underground cheap‑trade transactions.

Most importantly, the Li family has introduced a lifetime loan purchase model.

This way, they can firmly keep these people under the Li family's control.

Trying to run is impossible; the Li family also has countermeasures.

Can't pay up? Then work your life off for the Li family.

Of course, the same applies online.

Okay.

Taitan immediately took Prince Xuexing to swipe the card.

Ten million Gold Soul Coins just went like that.

Although this amount of money is nothing to Prince Xuexing, losing so much at once still hurts a bit.

Afterward, he began selecting weapons and storing them in his own storage soul‑tool ring.

As for soul‑tool rings, the Divine Artisan Pavilion also sells them.

Moreover, the space is quite large.

However, the price is not based on the membership system; it's sold per unit, each with its own price.

Prince Xuexing was quite tempted and spent another ten million on a large‑scale purchase.

With this opening, the Divine Artisan Pavilion earned twenty million Gold Soul Coins.

This is faster than robbery!

Prince Xuexing also experienced a very satisfying shopping spree.

"By the way, Your Majesty has ordered me to invite you to join the imperial family, and to grant you a fief and a ducal title; I wonder what the Titan Clan Chief thinks?" Before leaving, Prince Xuexing recalled this matter and asked.

This is indeed very tempting.
