Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 162 Even More Exciting Whale Glue

"Yuhao, let's go! Stop cultivating for now. Today is the academy's treasure appreciation event!"

Wang Dong called out to Huo Yuhao, who was engrossed in cultivation. Huo Yuhao's eyes still held a hint of confusion, clearly indicating that he didn't know what the Treasure Appreciation Meeting was all about.

He was so confused that Wang Dong pulled him toward the location of Jubaoge.

On the way, Wang Dong also explained to him the origins of the treasure appreciation event.

"Yuhao, let me tell you, it's said that this treasure appreciation event was organized by Jubaoge, the largest trading institution under our academy."

"The specific origin seems to be that in the past, it was always particularly troublesome for the teachers in our academy to purchase cultivation materials. So, a few teachers would get together, regularly put together a list, and then send someone out to purchase them."

"This trip can't be a waste, so I always bring back some local specialties from the place I'm sourcing to sell, which helps me make some profit and also helps reimburse my travel expenses."

"In this way, the Treasure Pavilion noticed it and then banned it through the Treasure Appreciation Festival."

"It is said that there are several levels. The one we participated in this time is only the lowest level, but only core disciples can participate."

"I heard from the senior students that soul bones can appear at the inner courtyard's treasure viewing event—"

Huo Yuhao cracked his knuckles, and Wang Dong understood what he meant.

"But—I don't have any money either!"

Moreover, upon hearing Wang Dong mention the inner courtyard, he couldn't help but think of the enchanting scene at the Sea God Lake that day.

He's no longer entirely a young male chef.

"I have money. Whatever you buy tonight, I'll pay for it."

Wang Dong put on an air of being a wealthy old man.

"But----"

Huo Yuhao was still struggling with his decision.

Why are you being so fussy?

"Actually, there's one more thing we core disciples have. If you're really short on money, it seems core disciples have a fairly large credit limit—"

"It's just that everyone seems to be different."

"We'll find out when we get there. After all this talk, are you still going or not?"

Wang Dong was clearly eager to join in the fun.

"Go ahead, don't rush. Let me look for it—"

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he began to examine his replica of the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon.

Even though he is now a level two Soul Master, he has never changed the replica of the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon belt. Xu Yang even once mentioned that he would replace it with a higher-grade one.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao refused, citing that it was a Tang Sect inheritance.

Xu Yang didn't bother with it anymore. He was actually quite curious to see how Huo Yuhao would react if he knew that the teacher in front of him had been personally invited to join the Tang Sect by its founder, but was rejected and had inadvertently angered Tang San.

"Yuhao, look over there, isn't that your teacher in the Soul Guidance Department?"

Wang Dong walked around, looking at his surroundings.

Huo Yuhao was also drawn to Wang Dong's words.

He looked in the direction Wang Dong had indicated and, sure enough, saw a familiar figure.

"Master Otto!"

Wang Dong called out to Xu Yang.

"Oh, it's you guys. Are you going to the treasure hunt too? —"

"That's true, this should be your first time participating as core disciples. However—I'm new here just like you, and I don't know much about the ins and outs of this place."

"Are you going to buy suitable cultivation aids?"

Xu Yang didn't expect to run into Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong on the way, and it was Wang Dong who extended the invitation to him.

"Yes, Mr. Otto—let's go together, it'll be good to have company."

"That works too. I was just planning to buy some rare metals as well."

And so they arrived at Jubaoge.

"I have to go to the rare metals section first. You guys can wander around as you like."

Xu Yang remembered that Huo Yuhao seemed to have obtained a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue at this treasure appreciation event.

He went to Moon specifically to exchange the ancient whale glue for a more potent one. After a brief moment of consideration, Moon immediately agreed.

Both of them could guess who Huo Yuhao would ask to melt the whale glue after obtaining it. No one would refuse to do something so convenient.

As for Huo Yuhao not being able to find this opportunity?

It does not exist.

Mu En knew the details of Huo Yuhao's second martial soul, as well as that Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Even he himself remarked to Xu Yang that he had never seen anyone with such incredible luck in his entire life.

Luck, that ethereal thing, seems to have some truth to it. Fortunately, these are his Shrek Academy students.

Therefore, the more potent whale glue that Moon chose was produced by a soul beast that lived in the far north—the Azure Sea Whale.

He was afraid Huo Yuhao wouldn't recognize him!

Not only is its aphrodisiac effect better, but its age is also much higher than that of the previous piece of whale glue.

Fifty thousand years!

If it weren't for the fact that leaving the 100,000-year-old whale glue there would arouse suspicion from the Ice Emperor and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Mu En would have preferred to replace it with the 100,000-year-old version right away.

It's simply a matter of hunting one down on the spot.

Regarding the last time, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao only touched on the topic briefly, and Mu En's gaze towards Xu Yang carried a hint of resentment.

Xu Yang interpreted this as meaning...

"Young man, your imported goods from the Sun Moon Empire aren't very effective. When it comes to aphrodisiacs, you'll have to rely on Shrek Academy—"

Xu Yang was also helpless.

He specifically asked Xiong Jun for this thing; among all the ferocious beasts, only Xiong Jun, whose mind is full of mating or fighting, would have this thing.

If he were to ask Kong Deming or Jing Hongchen for it, Xu Yang dared not imagine what kind of look they would give him.

Perhaps he really did contact the wrong person.

The real expert should be that Silver Dragon Queen, who does nothing all day and whose mind is filled with nothing but fear.

But—if he actually dared to ask for it, he'd probably be the first test subject. So Xu Yang decided after much deliberation to ask Xiong Jun for the medicine, but the effect wasn't as good as he'd imagined.

Or perhaps there's a difference between the animal and human versions, and that humans and Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears differ in their receptors for this substance.

As for why Mu En was so proactive in creating opportunities for Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao, he didn't want to watch the fun like Xu Yang did.

If he were to actually bring together a pair of top-tier Soul Masters from Shrek Academy, he would have done right by the ancestors of Shrek Academy, and their story might even become a legend ten thousand years from now.

People will only praise him for his discerning eye, which brought together a perfect couple.

Therefore, the two reached the same understanding in this regard for different reasons.

As for what to do about King Mu'en in the winter, the answer is simply to feed him!

As usual, Huo Yuhao picked up a bargain and took the piece of whale glue that Mu En had specially prepared for him, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

Next, if Xu Yang remembers correctly, the plot should be about his half-brother arranging assassins to kill Huo Yuhao.

"This is also a good way for him and Ma Xiaotao to get to know each other better."
