Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 27 The Golden-Bound Spirit Toad and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Whale Glue

Early the next morning.

Lin Dong and his group followed City Lord Mo to a precipitous cliff. Looking down at the surging sea below, Jing Hongchen said calmly, "Let's make our move."

Then, the city lord took out a black metal box from his robes and casually tossed it into the sea. As the box fell into the water, it rippled outwards.

"This is a soul tool developed by our Sun Moon Research Institute. It can attract the required soul beasts in the seawater."

Looking at Lin Dong's astonished expression, Jing Hongchen patiently explained.

Lin Dong nodded, quietly watching the water beneath his feet. After about ten minutes, a blinding golden light flashed, and a hint of joy flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes:

You've arrived! It's your honor to become this genius's fifth spirit ring.

Lin Dong followed the golden light and saw a toad with a golden body pouncing on the soul tool, pinning it down and wriggling up and down.

Upon seeing this, Meng Hongchen blushed and covered her eyes, saying, "What kind of soul tool is this, Grandpa? It's so indecent!"

Jing Hongchen coughed lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is science, science! This soul tool attracts soul beasts by releasing mating signals from the opposite sex. Otherwise, your brother's soul ring wouldn't have been so easy to obtain."

After a series of twitches, the golden toad seemed to be in a rather pleasant mood. Jing Hongchen waved his hand, his soul rings lighting up as he grabbed the golden toad.

Because she had just been released, she didn't have time to resist before Jing Hongchen threw her in front of everyone.

Lin Dong looked at the Golden Bound Spirit Toad lying on its back. This guy was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, yet he was caught by Jing Hongchen so easily.

This might be partly due to Jing Hongchen's formidable strength, but the soul tool also played a crucial role; it was simply too unfriendly to male soul beasts.

Jing Hongchen launched a series of attacks on the Golden-Bound Spirit Toad, which was severely injured with almost no resistance. To Lin Dong's surprise, the blood flowing from the spirit toad was also golden.

After Xiao Hongchen delivered the final blow, the latter began to draw the black soul ring into his body.

After he finished absorbing the nutrients, as everyone prepared to leave, Jing Hongchen turned to Lin Dong and smiled:

"How about it? Am I reliable enough? I'll definitely find the most suitable one for your level 20 spirit ring."

A hint of heartache flashed in Lin Dong's eyes as he shook his head at Jing Hongchen and said:

"Thank you for your kind offer, Dean, but I do have my own plans."

Seeing his insistence, Jing Hongchen could only nod helplessly, unaware that Lin Dong was currently roaring at Tianmeng within his spiritual sea:

"You weakling, you'd better be able to find me a spirit ring that's nearly ten thousand years old, or you're dead!"

After seeing how easily Xiao Hongchen obtained the ten-thousand-year soul ring, he was naturally not calm. If he were to deal with a ten-thousand-year soul beast, it would probably not be so simple.

However, considering Tianmeng, he once again refused Jing Hongchen's offer, as this was a zero-risk opportunity to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

"Hehe, don't worry, would your brother ever hurt you?" Tianmeng replied with a wry smile when she saw his distressed expression.

"You'd better be."

Lord Mo was shocked by the scene before him. This young man had actually rejected the Red Dust Hall Master three times in a row. Just how terrifying must his background be?!

Suppressing his shock, he caught up with the two people who were talking and tentatively said:

"Master Hongchen, my servants just reported that a batch of whale glue has been salvaged from Riyue Port. What do you think?"

"What year?"

"They should all be around a thousand years old."

After hearing this, Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong and smiled, "Are you interested, little guy?"

When Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen met their grandfather, they surprisingly asked Lin Dong first whether he would ask about them. They exchanged a jealous glance but did not say anything directly.

Lin Dong seemed surprised that Jing Hongchen would ask him first, and asked with a smile:

"Could the dean explain what this whale glue is and what its purpose is?"

Jing Hongchen smiled and nodded, patiently explaining:

"Whale glue is a special substance produced in the brain of whales, a type of soul beast. It can enhance the endurance of a soul master's muscles, bones, and meridians."

Lin Dong nodded after hearing this, then turned to City Lord Mo and said:

"I'm quite interested in this. I wonder if Lord Mo could send someone to take me to see it?"

"There's no need for you to go and see it yourself. I'll have someone deliver the entire batch of whale glue over later for you to choose from."

Seeing the sincerity in Lord Mo's eyes, Lin Dong nodded and smiled, "Then thank you very much, Lord Mo."

Seeing that his overtures had worked, Lord Mo's smile deepened, and he shook his head: "You're too kind."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The group returned to the city lord's mansion. At Lord Mo's command, two servants came out carrying a large box.

Looking at the box full of golden crystals, Xiao Hongchen and his sister couldn't help but swallow hard. Lin Dong also felt the rich energy fluctuations on it and exclaimed in his heart: What a treasure!

"Lin Dong, you pick one first."

Hearing Jing Hongchen's calm voice, Lin Dong was taken aback at first, then looked at him and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

After saying that, he stepped forward and looked through the whale glue. The fluctuations emanating from the golden crystals made Lin Dong's spirits lift.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a different crystal. The whale glue looked like it had gone bad, like whale glue that had turned black from rotting.

"This is a good thing, Lin Dong, take this one."

Tianmeng's voice echoed in his spiritual sea. He already had a premonition, and Tianmeng's words finally made him make up his mind. He picked up the unassuming whale glue and smiled at Jing Hongchen:

"Dean, I'll choose this one."

Jing Hongchen stared blankly at the dark, unremarkable whale glue and said:

"Are you sure? There's a reason I let you choose first. It looks like the one with the strongest golden sheen, the five-thousand-year-old whale glue, is the best quality, right?"

A look of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the city lord. Are all princes' tastes so unique?

A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes, and he thought to himself:

This guy, is he deliberately giving me the good stuff? ... Whatever, the good stuff should belong to a genius like me!

Then she looked at Jing Hongchen and said, "Grandpa, they have already made their choice. It would be too biased of you to interfere any further."

Jing Hongchen glanced at him and said calmly:

"Didn't you two enjoy enough rare and precious resources when you were young? I think we should give this whale glue to Lin Dong. He has a higher pursuit of physical strength. Grandpa will find other resources for you."

"No need, Dean, this is enough for me."

Seeing that Lin Dong had said so, Jing Hongchen said nothing more and nodded helplessly: "Fine, you can distribute them yourselves."

A smile appeared on Xiao Hongchen's face as he put the best-colored whale glue into his storage soul tool and smiled at Lin Dong.

Seeing the kind look he gave him, Lin Dong was a little surprised. Did this guy think that I was deliberately going easy on him?

After taking a piece of whale glue, Meng Hongchen glanced at Lin Dong with a questioning look. She didn't believe that this guy, whose eyes lit up at the sight of resources, could be so naive.
