"I think that fragment might be some kind of magical beast's soul stone." Yun Sheng had a five-elemental Magic Soul, so she was much more sensitive to magic power than ordinary magicians.
That fragment, which was no different from a stone, looked black on the outside, but Yun Sheng could feel that within its ugly appearance, there was a magic power that couldn't be underestimated.
This magic power was different from that of ordinary high-level magical beast's soul stones. It seemed to be much stronger than that.
The Skywings City Lord might also know the magical use of this stone, but due to some reason, he couldn't use it, so he placed it in the treasure boat at a high price.
Yun Sheng wanted to buy this fragment and analyze it carefully. If it was really a magical beast's soul stone, she planned to use this fragment as her fifth soul stone after breaking through to become a Sky Magician.
During this period of time in the arena, Yun Sheng felt that her strength had improved a lot. Perhaps in less than half a year, she would be able to break through to become a Sky Magician.
"Magical beast's soul stone?" Chu Yu and Steward Chu didn't expect that this black stone was actually a soul stone.
When Donghuang Linger heard this, she kept winking at the side.
She was anxious for Yun Sheng. If this was really a powerful soul stone, wouldn't the treasure boat raise the price after knowing about it?
After all, 5,000,000 gold coins was already a sky-high price.
Steward Chu muttered to himself for a while, then said something that shocked Yun Sheng and Donghuang Linger.
"I can help you keep that soul stone, but you have to unconditionally agree to a condition of mine. I haven't thought of this condition at the moment, but at any time in the future, as long as I need it, I can raise it. "Steward Chu's words shocked Yun Sheng and Donghuang Linger.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Chu Yu frowned.
She was a little dissatisfied with her mother's method of using that stone to threaten Yun Sheng.
"Ladies, you don't have to be too formal. Although I am blind, I can see that the two of you are definitely not ordinary people. My request may be a little unreasonable, but it is also because I have no other choice. I can see that Yu 'er is getting along very well with the two of you, so I won't hide it from you anymore. "Manager Chu also saw the doubt in Yun Sheng's eyes, so he went straight to the point and told Yun Sheng and Donghuang Linger about the predicament that Chu Yu and her mother were in.
It turned out that the founder of the Skywings Arena and the treasure boat back then was none other than the lord of Skywings City.
But that was several decades ago. Now, the two young masters of Skywing City were in charge of the Skywings Arena and the treasure boat.
Skywing City Lord had two wives. Both of them had passed away one after another, leaving behind the eldest son, Skywing Tuo, and the second son, Skywing Dong.
After the two young masters came of age, in order to avoid disputes, the first young master Skywing was in charge of the treasure boat, while the second young master was in charge of the Skywing Arena.
These two Young Masters had been at odds with each other since they were young. Both of them coveted the position of the City Lord of Skywing City. Their private struggles, both open and covert, were endless.
The City Lord of Skywing City had once announced that the two young masters, whoever could manage their respective businesses better would be able to inherit the position of the City Lord of Skywing City in the future.
"I am a trusted aide of the City Lord of Skywing City. I have served him since I was young, so I am very trusted. In fact, when the treasure boat was established, I was also the one who came forward to prepare it. Back then, the City Lord entrusted me to help the eldest young master manage the treasure boat, and then sent Yu 'er to the Skywings Arena. Such an arrangement was also to balance the power of the two young masters. "When Manager Chu said this, Yun Sheng finally understood why the Skywings Arena and the treasure boat had never cooperated.
"The City Lord's intentions are good, but it's a pity that we, mother and daughter, are seen as thorns in the eyes of others. So, I hope that through this cooperation, we can leave a way out for Yu 'er. "Manager Chu sighed.
In these few years, the old workers of the treasure boat had been either fired or replaced. Manager Chu could feel that the eldest young master was ostracizing her.
Seeing that Chu Yu was also not having an easy time in the arena, Manager Chu had an idea. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the mother and daughter pair could only leave Skywings City.
Although Manager Chu had only seen Yun Sheng and Donghuang Ling 'er once, she could tell that these two women were definitely from aristocratic families. If they could obtain the support of the aristocratic families in the continent, they would have one more person to rely on.
She did not ask for anything else, only for Chu Yu to have a way out.
Hearing this, Chu Yu's expression changed.
"Mother, I won't leave. It's just a Kong Fei. Your daughter has already thought of a way to deal with him. "Chu Yu simply said her thoughts in front of the two." I want to raise a sum of money to expand the ninth competition zone. "Chu Yu's purpose in coming to the treasure boat today was to raise money.
Although Manager Chu had talked about the situation in Skywings City, her words were still somewhat ambiguous.
Yun Sheng thought for a moment and found many suspicious points.
Both Manager Chu and her daughter held high positions in the two most important places in Skywings City.
Chu Yu also seemed to be very familiar with the affairs of the treasure boat. Why didn't she simply stay on the treasure boat to help out, instead of being bullied by Kong Fei in the Skywings Arena?
Yun Sheng did not ask about these questions. After all, she and the Chu mother and daughter pair had only known each other for a short while, and there was still a process of mutual trust.
If not for the fact that she had no other choice, Chu Yu would not have thought of coming to the House of Treasures.
Because the right to host the monthly tournament had been taken over by the first competition zone, Chu Yu had no choice but to change her initial strategy.
If Chu Yu wanted to stand out from the nine competition zones and win the first competition zone, the only way was to expand the venue to accommodate more spectators and obtain higher profits.
But according to the rules of the Skywings Arena, every competition zone that wanted to be expanded or renovated had to be proposed at the beginning of the year, and then the allocation of funds would be determined according to the income.
It was already the middle of the year, and the ninth competition zone's income had only just begun to pick up. Wanting to allocate funds for the arena was clearly not feasible.
The only way was for Chu Yu to fork out the money herself, and then deduct a portion of the investment from her future income.
Chu Yu was only a new referee, and the dividends she received from the ninth competition zone were very limited.
Thus, she thought of getting an advance payment from Steward Chu.
"How much will it cost to expand the competition zone?" Steward Chu asked.
Steward Chu was also very clear about her daughter's predicament in the Skywings Arena.
But she was only a steward of the city lord's residence, after all, and had no right to ask about the second young master's personal interests.
"Your daughter has calculated that it will cost about 1,600,000 gold coins." Chu Yu calculated an approximate figure.
Skywings City was located ten thousand meters in the air, and its geographical environment was extremely unique.
It was very difficult for ordinary flying beasts to set foot here, and they could only rely on high-performance airships and some high-tier flying magical beasts.
Thus, the cost of transporting materials here was very high, and the cost of hiring craftsmen was also much higher than usual.
If it were on the Boundless Continent, the same expansion would only cost a third of the price at most.
When Yun Sheng and Donghuang Linger heard this figure, they couldn't help but click their tongues.
This was no small sum.
