Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 48 Listen to me, you're still young

After receiving the invitation to the treasure hunt from Qian Duoduo, Ye Ying did not leave, but instead planned to continue teaching Zhang Lexuan in the Soul Guidance Department.

Before this, Ye Ying took out two fist-sized, light blue gems that emitted a slight spiritual fluctuation, which immediately attracted Zhang Lexuan's attention.

This was the reward the system gave Zhang Lexuan after she became a Level 2 Soul Master.

Starlight Sapphire is a space-type treasure that is extremely rare even in the Sun and Moon Empire.

It only takes the size of a fingernail to increase the volume of the storage soul tool by one cubic meter.

However, almost no Soul Master would do such a stupid thing, since Starlight Sapphire is a material that can be used in level nine Soul Tools.

Although Zhang Lexuan wasn't the vain type of girl, she couldn't resist the allure of sparkling gemstones; she simply liked them.

"Brother Ying, when did you buy this star sapphire?"

Zhang Lexuan asked with some confusion.

Having studied soul tools for nearly a year, she is no longer the naive novice soul master she once was.

Having become a Level 2 Soul Master, she has gained some understanding of treasures like Starlight Sapphire.

"(。·▽·。) Sorry, Sister Xuanxuan, I forgot, it's been in the frost for a long time!"

Ye Ying only remembered it a while ago, and then glanced at the past tasks that the system had just sent.

"Stage mission issued: Guide and assist Zhang Lexuan in reaching the third-level Soul Master level. Reward: Treading Snow Without a Trace!"

Only Ye Ying could see the light blue panel. The skill of "Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace" was quite appealing to him, as movement technique was the skill he currently lacked the most.

Although the star sapphire was very good, Zhang Lexuan still put it in the jade box and returned it to Ye Ying.

"I don't need this yet, so I'll leave it with you for now. Teach me the content of a Level 3 Soul Master!"

The Starlight Sapphire seemed to give Zhang Lexuan even more motivation on her path to becoming a Soul Master.

As night fell, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, who had changed their clothes from the Soul Guidance Department, hired a carriage outside the academy and soon arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Appreciation Meeting.

The treasure appreciation event was more like an exchange of power dynamics within Shrek Academy.

As one of the three top powers on the mainland, Shrek Academy was originally surrounded by a large number of smaller powers vying to send money and treasures to it.

To put it bluntly, it's the protection money these smaller factions pay to Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy allocates a portion of these protection fees each year to students with potential.

This method can be used to recruit someone into Shrek Academy, or at the very least, to make someone owe you a favor.

Although the Ye family is not the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, they do not have that kind of wealth that can rival that of a country.

But no matter what, the Ye family does have some wealth.

Ye Ying, the eldest son of the direct line, alone has no less than 20 million gold soul coins.

Zhang Lexuan is in a similar situation. After all, Tianyue City is owned by the Zhang family, and as the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, she has more than ten million in her pocket.

If we also consider the resources they possess, their combined net worth should be no less than 50 million gold soul coins.

Therefore, even if Ye Ying was penalized by losing ten years' worth of resources, it would be of no consequence whatsoever.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, a tall, sweet-looking young woman in somewhat revealing clothing suddenly walked over.

Zhang Lexuan instinctively covered Ye Ying's eyes with her hand, a hint of coldness appearing on her beautiful face. She casually handed over their invitations, "Hello, these are our invitations. May we go in?"

Being able to work in a place like a treasure appreciation event, one's ability to read people and situations is naturally exceptional.

Seeing Zhang Lexuan protecting Ye Ying like a little lion, the woman didn't want to go up and make a fool of herself. She gestured for them to go ahead and told them that they could go to the front desk to assess their credit limit.

But is Miss Zhang the kind of person who's short of money? She's starting to regret bringing Ye Ying here.

Those women are all dressed so scantily, ( ) it's easy for them to corrupt my Ying-ge, okay!

Ye Ying complied with Zhang Lexuan and went up to the second floor from the first floor.

Upon seeing the registration center and the scantily clad young women there, Zhang Lexuan's expression darkened even further.

After hurrying through the registration process, Zhang Lexuan slowed down, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Ying seriously. "Brother Ying, you have to be good. You're still young, and there are some things I don't allow you to see. You absolutely cannot see them, understand?"

Although Ye Ying knew what it was, seeing his young lady's serious and earnest expression, he still agreed.

The treasure hunt has begun, and there are many students from Shrek Academy or Soul Masters from the vicinity of Shrek City coming and going.

Ye Ying held Zhang Lexuan's fair hand tightly to prevent them from getting separated.

Zhang Lexuan, noticing Ye Ying's subtle actions, smiled. Before they had gone far, they encountered something that interested Ye Ying.

Looking at the dark, somewhat broken, irregular solid on the stage, Ye Ying's eyes revealed a strange look. It seemed that Shrek Academy had been displaying this thing for quite some time.

The item in the shop window is labeled as damaged Millennium Whale Glue, priced at 500 Gold Soul Coins, which is indeed quite cheap.

Although this is a small opportunity for someone to find a bargain in the future, opportunities are meant to be seized first, and Ye Ying is not going to let anyone else have them.

After greeting the staff member beside him, Ye Ying was about to pay the bill when Zhang Lexuan grabbed his wrist. Her clear eyes continued to gaze at Ye Ying as she said, "Ying-ge, be good, you're still young!"

As a member of the family, how could Zhang Lexuan not know about whale glue? On the contrary, she had been required to learn about many similar drugs.

Ye Ying originally intended to explain, but Zhang Lexuan didn't give him a chance to explain at all.

Somewhat disappointed, Ye Ying gave up. After all, it wasn't a particularly important opportunity, and he didn't care if he couldn't have it.

The moment Ye Ying turned her head, Zhang Lexuan subtly retrieved the Soul Coin Card.

With a slight smile, she took Ye Ying's hand and began to admire the scenery again.

The two of them also encountered quite a few rare metals, although none of them were particularly rare, but they collected them all.

They arrived at the true treasure area of ​​the treasure trove, the Soul Bone area, where the most conspicuous Soul Bone caught their attention.

"The left arm bone of the Thick Mystic Rhinoceros, which is 87,000 years old, has been solidified into a defensive soul skill called Battle Shield. That's quite a grand gesture."

Ye Ying was also quite surprised. If he wasn't mistaken, this thing was probably aimed at him, forty-eight million gold soul coins!

Even the intelligent Zhang Lexuan sensed something was amiss, but she didn't say anything and simply stayed quietly by Ye Ying's side.

"Such a top-quality defensive soul bone is truly enviable, but unfortunately, even if I had the money, I couldn't buy it."

A gasp of surprise rang out, and the person who had just arrived seemed quite familiar.
