Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 94 Old Master Mu's Treasured Collection, Ling Bai's Desperate Selling of Everything (4K)

"Three Soul Masters, please follow me."

The welcoming girl gestured for them to come in and led the way for the three.

The moment you step into the Treasure Pavilion, a burst of golden light hits you. The hall is decorated with extreme luxury, and the crystal golden lamps hanging high in the ceiling illuminate the hall with a dazzling light.

Two rows of young women in short skirts stood on either side of the main hall of the Treasure Pavilion. They were all beautiful and slender, each one a carefully selected beauty. Their fair skin was even more striking against the backdrop of the magnificent gold walls.

"Welcome, distinguished guest."

The girls bowed simultaneously, bending at a perfect 90-degree angle, just enough to reveal half of their fair, round, and full breasts. Ling Bai had an eye for beauty, so his gaze lingered on them for a couple more seconds. Being surrounded by so many beautiful girls felt like entering paradise.

"You're drooling."

Ling Luochen suddenly spoke up.

"6".

Ling Bai turned to look at her, with a surprised expression that said, "How come you, an ice queen, are telling lame jokes?" How is this any different from telling your classmate on April Fool's Day that your shoelace is untied!

"These girls are one of the products of Jubao Pavilion. They are priced at 10,000 gold soul coins each. They have undergone several years of special training and are guaranteed to be virgins. Customers can pay to redeem them and then take them home to pamper them," Ma Xiaotao said, seemingly absentmindedly but with a hint of something.

"Favoritism? That word sounds a bit harsh."

Ma Xiaotao curled her lip: "Some sanctimonious students spout grand theories, but they've already been keeping quite a few girls in Shrek City behind the scenes. Some of them are even among our inner court disciples."

Who is it?

"Night Willow, I've raised eight."

Ling Bai was stunned for a long time before finally managing to say, "Your energy is really... abundant."

"That scumbag deserves to die a horrible death," Ling Luochen said coldly.

"Yes, scorning Ye Liu is the first lesson for female disciples in the inner court!" Ma Xiaotao gestured with her small but absolutely violent fist.

It was rare for two beings from different realms to be on the same side, and Ling Bai didn't dare to utter a sound.

Ma Xiaotao adopted a senior student's demeanor and said, "Although you are a second-year inner court student, you are still young and easily tempted by women. Don't follow Ye Liu's example and keep girls around."

Ling Bai raised an eyebrow: "I couldn't control myself? You were wearing black that night..."

Upon hearing the word "black," Ma Xiaotao was immediately shocked and rushed over to cover her mouth. Ling Bai was referring to the night she moved into Golden Tree, when she was persuaded by her teacher Yan Shaozhe to wear black stockings and a short skirt, but she chickened out first.

"There are outsiders here!"

Ma Xiaotao subtly winked at Ling Luochen, pressed her index finger to her red lips, and whispered:

"Don't say it!"

The senior student dressed up in a sexy outfit late at night to seduce the junior student, but she failed miserably. If Ling Luochen found out and it got out, Ma Xiaotao felt she would be nagged about it for the rest of her life.

Ling Luochen's gaze shifted between Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao several times. Her woman's sixth sense told her that something must have happened between the two of them, otherwise Ma Xiaotao wouldn't have reacted so strongly. However, she didn't care about Ma Xiaotao's private life; she was more interested in why Ling Bai could make the ice element martial soul tremble.

Along the way, guided by the mysterious aura, Ling Luochen walked to Ling Bai's left. The ice elemental, which was initially trembling with fear, gradually became as obedient and docile as a cat meeting its owner, occasionally letting out a happy purr.

She was extremely puzzled and eager to find out the reason, but because of her aloof personality and shyness, she was too embarrassed to ask Ling Bai directly. So she took the time to talk to him for a while to gradually warm up their relationship, and then found an opportunity to ask him for clarification.

The first floor of the Treasure Pavilion is open to the public. The welcoming girl led the three to the second floor, which was specially set up for Shrek Academy students. The second floor was slightly smaller than the first floor, and various booths of different sizes were set up in the most suitable locations. There were nearly a hundred booths at a glance, and each booth was covered by a huge crystal glass cover.

The young woman stopped and gave a slight bow, saying, "Welcome to the Treasure Appreciation Event. The event is being held on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Please feel free to browse. If you find any items you like, you can register to purchase them at the west counter. Your VIP level will also be assessed there by our staff. The assessment result will determine your credit limit and exclusive discounts."

"Since this is your first time at the Treasure Appreciation Fair, go and get your level assessed first," Ma Xiaotao suggested. "Based on the age, martial spirit, and cultivation level of the Shrek Academy students, the Treasure Pavilion VIPs are divided into five levels: white, yellow, purple, black, and red. For example, our regular Shrek Seven Devils are usually black-level VIPs, who get a 30% discount on purchases and have a credit limit of 500,000 gold soul coins."

Wait, you seem to be a disciple of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, uh…

As Ma Xiaotao was speaking, she suddenly fell silent. As everyone knows, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is so poor that all it has left is money. Ling Bai must have plenty of pocket money. A debt of 500,000 is practically the same as an insult.

"Let's go check it out; we can't miss out on these perks."

The disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court have shed blood and suffered injuries for the Shrek Supervisory Group, so it is only right that they enjoy some discounts and credit benefits. Moreover, the things that Ling Bai takes a liking to must be top-quality. Ning Fengya is not here, so what they are spending right now is the pocket money they have painstakingly saved over the past six years. A 30% discount can save them a huge amount of money.

The two women accompanied Ling Bai, and the three of them walked nearly a hundred meters to the west side. Under the counter, there was a light trough that shimmered with a crystal yellow light. The textured light flowed out and made the three of them look more beautiful.

Inside the counter was another beautiful young girl, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with a cute, chubby face. Upon seeing the three inner court students arrive, she stood up and respectfully greeted them:

"Hello, how may I help you three distinguished guests?"

"Assess the rating."

"Okay, please fill in your information."

The girl took out a piece of white paper, on which only two pieces of information needed to be filled in: name and martial spirit.

"That simple?"

Ling Bai finished it in a few quick strokes.

"The ratings were completed in advance by the academy's higher-ups. It's called an assessment, but in reality, the Treasure Pavilion is just checking. There are less than a hundred inner court disciples in total, so names and martial spirits are enough," Ma Xiaotao said.

The search was incredibly fast. A minute later, the girl's gaze towards Ling Bai completely changed. She now seemed to enviously want to devour him. Her professional instincts kicked in, and she immediately retrieved a card from the back of the counter. Secretly pulling down her shirt by three centimeters, she strode up to Ling Bai, bowed deeply, revealing a stunningly curvaceous figure, and presented him with a bright red VIP card. Her voice was as melodious as a nightingale's:

"Dear Mr. Ling, you are a Red-level VIP of the Treasure Pavilion. You enjoy a 40% discount on any item purchased in this pavilion, and you can choose any item from the Treasure Appreciation Event every year, with Shrek Academy covering all costs for you."

"Red tier, getting a free treasure every year?"

Ling Bai didn't say anything, but Ma Xiaotao blurted out first, "You kid, you wouldn't happen to be some long-lost descendant of a senior figure, and now they're secretly giving you special treatment, would you?"

"Using connections is shameful," Ling Luochen added.

"What's going on with you two? You were at each other's throats just two hours ago, how come you're on the same side now?"

The two women exchanged a glance, then simultaneously snorted coldly and turned their heads away sharply.

Ling Bai accepted the red-level VIP card. It was warm to the touch, and the material was Crimson Spirit Warm Jade, which was sufficient to inscribe a level seven soul guide core array.

"Thank you, we'll just browse around and won't disturb your work."

"Yes, Mr. Ling."

The young girl's hopes were dashed, and a hint of regret flashed in her eyes. She was also one of the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion. The young and handsome red-level VIP had unlimited potential. If she could catch his eye, even becoming his mistress would be a blessing that an ordinary person could only dream of.

"Why are you only a Red-level? The entire Shrek Academy only has one Red-level student, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, and she's a designated elder of the Sea God Pavilion!"

Ma Xiaotao was quite puzzled. She, the personal disciple of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, was only a Black-level cultivator, while Ling Bai, although slightly stronger in combat, had a slightly stronger Martial Soul, and a slightly stronger personality...

In short, I'm only slightly better than her!

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

Ling Bai held the red card, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He wasn't a mind reader for Shrek Academy, but there was no doubt that Shrek Academy desperately wanted to recruit him.

The 40% discount for red card holders is a slightly higher benefit than for other students, but getting free treasures is purely a trap that everyone is willing to take.

The debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, and Huo Yuhao gradually succumbed to Shrek Academy's various favors, until the academy became his home and he considered Shrek Academy's interests in everything.

The three browsed the exhibits at the treasure fair. Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were conservative Shrek Academy disciples who only focused on treasures related to Soul Master cultivation. Ling Bai considered items such as Soul Guidance Devices, Rare Metals, and Soul Beast Materials.

The quality of the Inner Court Treasure Appreciation Meeting was no less than that of any top-tier auction, and in fact, it had a wider variety of items. Ling Bai browsed for half an hour, and the highest-grade item was the Golden Radiance Arm Bone produced by the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Earth Dragon King, priced at 9.5 million gold soul coins.

The Golden Earth Dragon King has excellent attributes, but Ling Bai's arms have already absorbed the soul bone, so he decided not to waste money on buying this soul bone. He is not as extravagant as Ning Fengya, who would buy it without hesitation just because he likes it.

"Holy crap, a hundred million!!!"

Ma Xiaotao suddenly tugged at Ling Bai and pointed to a booth that everyone passing by would notice, because it was at least twice the size of the other booths. The huge crystal dome spread the purple-gold light, making it shine brightly, and a red sign stood next to it.

Shocking price! 99,990,000 Gold Soul Coins!

"Really a hundred million?"

Ling Bai and Ling Luochen's pupils constricted for a moment. This thing must be the treasure of Jubao Pavilion. The three of them moved like the wind, wanting to see what kind of rare treasure dared to sell for 100 million gold soul coins.

Could it be a soul bone from 100,000 years ago?

To the three's disappointment, what was floating in the booth wasn't some 100,000-year-old soul bone, but rather a tube of purplish-gold liquid, giving the impression of a final dish being a cold tomato salad. The description next to it boldly stated:

"Radiant Splendor".

Originating from the 300,000-year-old Radiant Thunder Dragon, it possesses the attributes of light and lightning, and has extremely pure bloodlines of the Holy Light Dragon and the Ancient Thunder Dragon.

This Radiant Thunder Prison Dragon was a soul beast hunted by Mu En, the current Sea God Pavilion Master and Dragon God Douluo, after breaking through to level 90 in soul power and acquiring his ninth soul ring.

After retrieving the Soul Ring and Soul Bone, the Sea God Pavilion Master refined and condensed the bloodline essence of the Radiant Thunder Prison Dragon. Within the Radiant Splendor lay the bones, blood, scales, and horns of a 300,000-year-old true dragon soul beast with near-dual extreme attributes, making it a supreme treasure for all Light and Lightning attribute soul masters on the continent.

"This thing... seems to be worth a hundred million." Ma Xiaotao said in a daze.

Ling Bai and Ling Luochen nodded in deep agreement. A 300,000-year-old soul beast is comparable to the top ten ferocious beasts of the world. Its blood essence is priceless. The effect of a dragon, light, and lightning soul master absorbing the radiance of the beast is no worse than fusing a 100,000-year-old soul bone. It is very likely to change their own aptitude and promote the evolution of their martial soul.

"It's a pity that the Radiant Thunder Dragon is not the ultimate light."

Ling Bai sighed, realizing that they had almost solved the problem of achieving ultimate light for 100,000 years.

No, you want to buy it.

Electrolux's voice resonated deep within his heart.

"What? Mr. Yi, that's 100 million! Even after the discount, it's still 60 million!"

Ling Bai was struck dumb. He wasn't short of money, but he was far from being a rich tycoon!

As times change, the purchasing power of Gold Soul Coins continues to rise, but a family of three can only afford a few dozen Gold Soul Coins a year.

What can you do with 60 million gold soul coins?

They could arm a 100,000-strong heavy cavalry force to the teeth!

"The ultimate light and ultimate fire of ten thousand years are to plant a seed for you. The seed needs nutrients to sprout and grow. The Radiant Splendor is the top-grade nutrient solution. Whether you buy it or not is up to you."

"..."

Outside, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen suddenly noticed that Ling Bai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he walked back to the west side with the air of a warrior going to his death.

"You're not going to buy Yaohui Zhihua, are you?" the two women asked in unison.

"Um."

Ling Bai nodded heavily.

"You have so much money?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously.

"How is that possible? Even the little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School can't afford half of it, let alone me."

"So you're preparing to use your red card to get freebies?"

Ma Xiaotao was overjoyed. This meant that Ling Bai had accepted Shrek Academy's favor, and from now on they would be partners bound together, making it much easier to deal with the evil fire!

"Forget about it!" Ling Bai said irritably, "I'm going to sell everything I own."

He walked quickly to the west counter and got straight to the point with the chubby-cheeked girl:

Does the Treasure Pavilion recycle treasures?

The girl, intimidated by Ling Bai's imposing presence, stammered, "Yes, yes, this way please..."

Ling Bai saved up 20 million in pocket money over twelve years.

Xiong Mo's net worth is 20 million.

Xu Cong was already down on his luck, and most of his money was spent on buying rare metals to make soul tools. He barely managed to scrape together ten million.

The gray-haired appraiser looked at the large pile of items on the table and slowly said:

"Ten level seven soul-guided landmines, produced by Mingde Hall, each worth 700,000 gold soul coins, for a total of 7 million."

The right leg soul bone of a 13,000-year-old Mad Rhinoceros, worth 1.6 million gold soul coins.

Half of a 70,000-year-old soul beast, the Burning Sun Fire Dragon, including its dragon teeth, scales, blood, and flesh, is worth 500,000 gold soul coins...

Two storage soul tools, one level 7, made by an ordinary level 7 soul tool master, and one level 8, produced by Mingde Hall, 900,000.

A total of ten million Gold Soul Coins.

"Shao Zhe, this little guy doesn't appreciate it..."

On the top floor of Jubao Pavilion, the old woman smiled and said to Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe sighed, "There's nothing we can do, Elder Lin. The Radiant Splendor is a treasure of our teacher. I heard it was meant for Beibei. I don't know why he took it out and put it in the Treasure Pavilion. He also specifically emphasized giving Ling Bai a red-level rating. Unfortunately, Ling Bai is very wary of the academy."

What I'm more worried about is Xiaotao. She's incredibly stubborn and refuses to release her pent-up desires with men, unwilling to give up the chance to unleash her passion. She keeps insisting on finding a boy she likes, but in the end, she can only suffer through the agony of unrequited love.

The six-winged angel's purification effect is almost worn off, and they'll still need Ling Bai's help in the future. It would be wonderful if they could get together, but the problem is they can't spark a romance. What will happen to Xiao Tao when Ling Bai graduates?

Moreover, that kid is as cunning as a little fox, and he's also a womanizer, cough cough, quite like me back in the day. Xiao Tao's straightforward temper is no match for him, so she's in a difficult situation..."
