Chapter 18 is far from enough.
As Wang Yi got up, he left the reception room with the ice crystal and the blueprints, preparing to go to the workshop to recreate the spirit ice shield.
What remains is the wrangling between Ning Mingzhe and Huo Yuhao regarding the distribution of profits from their collaboration. Even if this batch of spirit ice shields can be sold, the estimated profit is only tens of millions of gold soul coins.
But this is just the beginning. The most crucial point is that this technology, using only a level three soul tool, achieves the effect of a level five invincible shield. The technological gap demonstrated here is what is truly captivating.
However, by the end of the discussion, Wang Yi returned to the reception room, indicating that he had successfully replicated the Spirit Ice Shield.
Ning Mingzhe was also unable to get any information about Huo Yuhao's teacher from him, only knowing that he was a soul tool master named "Ling Bing".
Ning Mingzhe had no choice but to hand Huo Yuhao a ring containing rare medicinal herbs and rare metals.
The process of negotiating this deal was also incredibly frustrating for him.
His years of honed business negotiation skills proved largely ineffective when dealing with a child not even eleven years old. The other party stubbornly insisted that the teacher had instructed them to split the profits at a maximum of 30/70.
As an elderly man over eighty years old, would he really lower himself to make things difficult for a child? Could this also be part of Master Lingbing's calculations? It's simply terrifying.
However, even though the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School only received 30% of the distribution, it had already made a substantial profit, not to mention that there was still an opportunity to continue cooperating with that Master Lingbing.
After Huo Yuhao took his leave, the room fell silent once again.
Ning Mingzhe shook his head helplessly and looked at Wang Yi, asking:
"Elder Wang, how was it? Did you notice anything this time?"
"Elder Mingzhe, that Master Lingbing is truly a genius. The ingenuity of his ideas is simply breathtaking."
Wang Yi's eyes revealed excitement, and his tone was filled with undisguised amazement.
"Oh? What do you mean? Could the other party be a level nine Soul Master?"
Ning Mingzhe became interested; the Wang Yi before him could be considered an eighth-level Soul Master. It's worth noting that, including Shrek Academy, there wasn't a single ninth-level Soul Master in the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms at present.
"Whether Master Lingbing is a level nine Soul Master, I'm not sure, but his ideas are definitely groundbreaking..."
Wang Yi originally wanted to have a proper discussion, but then he thought that Ning Mingzhe was ultimately just a businessman, and Ning Tian only had a superficial understanding of the production of soul tools.
Wang Yi also stopped his excited tone and explained in a simpler way, "To put it this way, advanced soul masters usually create based on existing materials. Few people will take the initiative to develop new materials because that requires a lot of luck and effort."
"But the 'ice crystal' used in the Spirit Ice Shield is clearly a completely new material, with properties that are entirely different from existing ice crystals. This alone is enough to prove Master Spirit Ice's extraordinary abilities."
After listening to Wang Yi's explanation, Ning Tian, who had been silent until now, finally asked:
"Aunt Wang, according to you, could it be that Master Lingbing just got lucky and accidentally discovered a way to change the properties of ice crystals?"
Wang Yi did not refute this, but patiently explained:
"Ning Tian, in the field of soul tools, there is never any instant success. Master Lingbing, for example, was able to achieve the effect of a level 5 soul tool simply by modifying the core array of a level 3 protective soul tool and combining it with ice crystals. This is not something that can be done by luck alone."
She paused briefly, then added:
"To give an analogy, just like a blacksmith transforms ordinary iron into tough steel through constant hammering and tempering, Master Lingbing must have also conducted countless experiments before finally finding a way to change the properties of ice crystals."
Of course, these were not what Wang Yi cared about most.
When a Soul Master's work can be widely circulated and sold, it often means that the Soul Master must possess a next generation of more advanced works.
Even if she only disassembled and replicated the Spirit Ice Shield, she could clearly realize this.
Clearly, that master of spirit ice possesses spirit ice shields with invincible shield effects approaching level six, or even level seven. However, how to obtain samples from him is not her concern; let Ning Mingzhe worry about that.
Seeing Ning Tian's thoughtful expression, Ning Mingzhe smiled gently and asked, "Ning Tian, what do you think of Huo Yuhao just now?"
Compared to the elusive Master Lingbing, Ning Mingzhe was clearly more interested in seeing Huo Yuhao in person.
After all, he's not even eleven years old yet, and he already possesses such formidable physical abilities. Moreover, he'll likely be attending Shrek Academy next year.
If the time is right, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao have more contact. After all, as the sect leader's only daughter, Ning Tian bears a heavy responsibility.
Ning Tian naturally understood the meaning behind Ning Mingzhe's words, but he didn't give a clear answer. Instead, he said with a hint of helplessness:
"Third Grandfather, please don't mention this to Fengmei later, otherwise she'll start nagging about it endlessly again."
Ning Tian's current soul power level is close to level 30, and she is very confident that she can break through to the Soul Master level before officially enrolling in Shrek Academy.
Thus, she naturally had her own pride, even though, because of the sect, she had to find a guardian who could accompany her throughout her life.
Whether that person is powerful or not will not only determine her future status in the sect and whether she can successfully take over the sect, but will also affect the future of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. However, she still hopes to choose someone she truly likes.
As for Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian's impression of him was just a shy and handsome boy.
It certainly makes people feel good at first glance.
But for her, that was far from enough.
Upon hearing this, Ning Mingzhe could only shake his head. "Alright, alright, your third grandfather won't say any more. You young people should think about your own affairs."
Clearly, he was also quite troubled by Wu Feng.
However, he did not directly point out Huo Yuhao's amazing talent.
Once they were all inside Shrek Academy, Ning Tian realized that things might get even more interesting.
Ning Mingzhe also considered that Huo Yuhao would attract more other girls after showing his talent at Shrek Academy.
But which girl's status can compare to Ning Tian, the only daughter of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader?
