Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 30 The Acquisition Plan and Han Li's Choice to Take the Blame

"Okay, we agree to your suggestion. Let's test it first."

Guangling and Qingluan exchanged a glance and answered decisively.

"It's best to find men who are of average talent and older, so that it's easier to handle any unexpected situations during the testing process."

Although he knew there wouldn't be any problems, Han Li still gave him a reminder.

"By the way, can I just take it directly?" Guangling asked again.

"No, it needs to be melted with a high-temperature flame before swallowing, and then you can start cultivating directly," Han Li added.

"Alright, then you can sit down for a while. There's no need to look for anyone else. There are suitable people in the manor. I'll make the arrangements," Qingluan suddenly interjected.

Guangling seemed to have thought of something, nodded in agreement, and watched Qingluan leave.

"What's going on, Master Uncle?" After Qingluan left, Han Li looked at his teacher.

"It's nothing. He's a descendant of your senior uncle's younger brother, but not very close. His talent is average, and he likes to use your senior uncle's status to flirt around. He just recently came to join us. You don't need to worry about him. If the experiment succeeds, he'll be the one who benefits." Guang Ling pouted, clearly not liking the junior she was referring to.

"Oh." Since it concerned his master's family affairs, Han Li didn't ask any further questions.

"Then why don't you marry, Master? So you can have an heir?"

Han Li suddenly asked, "If Master starts working hard now, maybe he can get his junior brother a ride on the God Realm."

Guang Ling's expression stiffened. Could he say that he was too busy cultivating when he was young? By the time he had this idea, most of his peers were either married or about to die, and his interest had faded.

"What do you know? A good archer must have no woman in his heart, and his archery skills will naturally be divine. That's why I was able to break through to level ninety-seven first. Little Li, believe in your master. Only in this way can you reach the pinnacle of archery skills," Guang Ling said stubbornly.

Han Li glanced at his master, who was clearly being stubborn. He didn't even bother to refute him. Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, who was already a teenager, was at level ninety-nine. Caring for single people is everyone's responsibility.

The master and disciple chatted casually for a bit longer before seeing Qingluan approaching with a joyful expression.

"It's done?" Guangling blurted out as soon as she saw his expression.

"It's done. Following Xiao Li's method, after consuming a piece of thousand-year-old whale glue, the lifespan of his soul rings has increased by about four hundred years, but less than five hundred years. However, this is probably because his body was already in poor condition."

"Don't worry, I used my soul power to seal his sight and taste. I only told him it was a rare and precious treasure, without letting him know what it was. This is the last time I'll help him."

Qingluan added, his expression not very good, "If it weren't for the fact that we still have some blood relation, I wouldn't mind just killing this descendant. Now it's a waste to make use of him."

"Well, my senior brother is very thoughtful."

Seeing that even his usually gentle senior uncle spoke in this way, Han Li could only give a dry reply.

"Since it's effective, what are we waiting for? We can do the specific tests later. Come on, let's discuss how to acquire it later," Guangling suggested impatiently.

"it is good."

Han Li and Qing Luan exchanged a glance, then joined the discussion.

More than an hour later, the three of them looked at the plan in the center of the table and the contract in front of them with satisfaction, and showed similar smiles.

Qingluan chuckled a few times, then quickly stopped laughing. Oh no, spending so much time with this master and disciple was starting to make him feel like he was being assimilated. This was really damaging to his image. However, looking at the contents of the contract, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was in a bad mood.

After chatting for a while, Han Li took his leave first. It wasn't that he was leaving as soon as he finished his business, but rather that Guang Ling solemnly reminded him that it was time to cultivate and that he shouldn't let a little bit of gold soul coins delay his important business. Han Li, who had originally wanted to freeload a meal, had no choice but to obey his master's orders and hurry back to cultivate.

Because the collection was done covertly, and the main collection point, Hanhai City, was quite far from Wuhun City, and Wuhun City didn't pay much attention to intelligence from there, the plan proceeded very smoothly, and a large amount of whale glue was collected in a short period of time.

Han Li became the first Soul Master on the mainland to use a high-age whale glue cultivation package to strengthen his body. His physical strength did improve as he wished, but the process and experience were hard to describe. The smell of the whale glue melted by high-temperature flames was simply awful. The fishy smell hit his head, causing him to develop a seafood avoidance disorder in a short period of time.

In the process, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Li, who was cultivating in the simulated environment, heard Xiu'er's shouts outside. He slowly withdrew from his cultivation state, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and walked outside.

"Sister Xiuer, is there something you need?"

Han Li glanced at the increasingly beautiful and graceful young woman and asked with a smile.

"Xiao Li, Guangling Douluo and Qingluan Douluo have sent someone to inform you to come to the manor. They say they have something to discuss with you." Xiu'er glanced at Han Li, whose figure had also changed drastically and whose height had increased to over 1.5 meters, making him slightly taller than her, and replied with a blush.

"Okay, then Sister Xiuer, you wait for me at home. We'll have dinner together when you get back."

Han Li casually approached her as he passed by and said something, then quickly left without waiting for Xiu'er's reply.

"Um."

Xiuer waited until Han Li left before speaking softly, seemingly answering the question from earlier.

Inside the Guangling Mansion.

As soon as Han Li stepped across the threshold, he heard his master's excited voice.

"Xiao Li, come here quickly, we're about to make a fortune!"

As Han Li walked around the screen, he saw Guang Ling laughing exaggeratedly with her eyebrows raised.

"Then congratulations, Master. If you think it's too much, you can share some with me. I don't mind," Han Li said with a smile.

"Splitting it up is no problem. After you make your move, I'll give you another million gold soul coins separately."

"I am a luminous Douluo," said Guangling Douluo in a clear and open manner.

"Hearing Master say that, it seems like we're really going to make a fortune."

Han Li added with a chuckle, then sat down at the table.

"You brat, you make it sound like your master was stingy before," Guang Ling said with a laugh, though it was clear he was in a very good mood.

Seeing Han Li sit down, Qingluan smiled and handed him an account book, gesturing for him to open it and take a look.

Han Li took the money but didn't look at it. Instead, he casually placed it on the table and looked at the two elders: "I won't look at it. The rest of the operations will have to be done by Master and Senior Uncle. I'll just wait to get my share. Next, we need to prepare to report it."

"Yes, it's been suppressed for half a year, it really should be reported now." Guangling's smile faded, and she said seriously.

"Master, just do as we agreed before. As for the Grand Offering, just tell the truth and say it was my idea. There's no need to hide it from me."

Han Li raised his hand to interrupt Guang Ling, who was about to say something, and said seriously, "You and I are different. Don't worry about it affecting me. I'm still young. At most, the Grand Elder will criticize me. But if it were you two, the situation would be different. It would hurt our feelings. We agreed on this beforehand, and we can't go back on our word now."

Guangling and Qingluan exchanged a glance, their expressions shifting, their feelings indescribable. Was this considered being protected by their disciple?

Seeing the two looking awkward, Han Li shook his head and took the initiative to comfort them:

"Master, Senior Uncle, don't feel like you've let me down. If you really think that way, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future. In the end, it's because I dragged you two into this. You both know the Grand Elder's personality; he won't have any opinion about my little actions. Putting me in front of him will actually make him more understanding. Everyone needs to take care of their juniors, right?"

Seeing his confident words and considering Qian Daoliu's past behavior, Guangling and Qingluan finally nodded in agreement.

Although they had agreed to Han Li's request from the beginning, they had secretly reached a consensus that they were prepared to go back on their word, as they would also benefit from it. They wouldn't do something so shameless as to use their apprentice and junior as a pretext. However, to their surprise, Han Li saw through their intentions and even offered to put them in the spotlight, which made them feel taken care of.

However, this was something Han Li had already planned. After a year of getting along, he could clearly feel the care and love his master and senior uncle had for him, so he naturally chose to reciprocate. Moreover, he did not act rashly; he had already combined his memories with subtle hints to determine Qian Daoliu's personality.

A gentleman deceives others with integrity, and besides, he didn't go too far or harm anyone's interests. He used his "research results" to gain benefits within an appropriate scope, so no one can say anything wrong with that, right?
