Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 136 Xuanzi, the True God!

In any world, there will always be things that are buried and forgotten, and Douluo Continent is no exception.

Just like the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue now lying in Lin Yun's storage soul tool, its shabby appearance conceals its true brilliance. Except for a very few people, the world will be deceived by its dusty appearance.

Looking at the unremarkable stone in front of him, Lin Yun's expression was quite complicated.

The stone was about the size of Lin Yun's fist, roughly round in shape, with a pitted and uneven surface. Only the strange fluctuations it occasionally emitted indicated that the stone was extraordinary.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to detect even this slight, strange fluctuation.

The Treasure Pavilion describes it as: incredibly hard, even the power of a Soul Saint cannot damage it. Placing it nearby can gather the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power), increasing the cultivation speed of Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level by 10%.

It's precious, but not that precious.

A 10% increase in cultivation speed is already a lot, but Shrek Academy already has the Golden Tree, the source of life in Douluo Continent, so the effect of this stone in gathering the power of heaven and earth is not apparent at all.

However, for other Soul Masters, it is indeed a rare treasure. At first glance, a 10% increase in cultivation speed is not very high, but in the long run, it can save one year of cultivation time in ten years, which is quite a good increase.

Therefore, its price is: 500,000 Gold Soul Coins.

It's comparable to some lesser-quality soul bones.

"I never expected to meet him here. Huo Yuhao's luck seems a bit lacking compared to mine." Lin Yun stared at the stone silently for a few seconds before turning around and buying it.

Although he wasn't as rich as Ning Tian, ​​he still had tens of millions of gold soul coins. This was a portion of the wealth left behind by the soul masters who had perished in the Star Dou Great Forest over the years.

Since Di Tian and the others didn't need it, Lin Yun took a portion of it as funds for their activities in the human world.

The top floor of Jubaoge.

The simply dressed old woman frowned in thought, her expression showing some doubt and hesitation.

"He actually bought that stone? Could there be some secret hidden in that stone that we Shrek don't know about?" The old woman's expression changed, but she quickly shook her head.

"No, Xuanzi saw that stone with his own eyes. He said that the stone was nothing special. Perhaps it was just because of Lin Yun's extreme attributes that he bought this stone that could increase cultivation speed?"

Lin Huiqun quickly made her own guess.

Yes, the old woman was Lin Huiqun, the person in charge of Jubaoge and a member of Haishenge.

Ever since Lin Yun stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Huiqun had been secretly watching him. After all, he was the only person in Shrek Academy with the ultimate attribute, and the entire Sea God Pavilion had heard of Lin Yun's name.

Because ultimate attributes are rare!

Throughout Shrek Academy's ten-thousand-year history, the number of Soul Masters with ultimate attributes that have appeared is less than the number on one hand. The Soul Master with ultimate attributes who appeared four thousand years ago even led the Douluo Three Kingdoms to defeat the ambitious Sun Moon Empire, making the Sun Moon Continent no longer qualified to be called a continent on par with the Douluo Continent.

This firmly established Shrek Academy's supreme status as a sacred place for soul masters on the Douluo Continent.

Now that another Soul Master with an ultimate attribute has appeared, and with an incomparably domineering ultimate power attribute, the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, the ancestor of power, how could this not make the old guard of Shrek Academy eager to make a move?

"He must have been a Soul Master when he enrolled, right? Did he feel the difficulty of cultivating the ultimate attribute, so he wanted to use that stone to increase his cultivation speed?" Lin Huiqun's expression was very meaningful.

"It's no use, child. Shrek Academy is your final destination. Enter the Inner Academy as soon as possible and enjoy the benefits brought by the Golden Tree. Then you won't care about those external things anymore."

"Shrek is your true home!"...

Old Deng, who has his eye on Lin Yun, adds another point.

Lin Huiqun's only regret was that Lin Yun hadn't assessed the amount of credit he owed; otherwise, she could have openly offered him benefits to win him over.

But to be fair, Lin Huiqun was completely tricked by Xuanzi this time.

Anyone who has seen this stone bead, including Moon, who also possesses a similar item, could tell that it was not simple, even if they couldn't discern its detailed characteristics.

But Xuanzi...

He doesn't know anything!

An unimaginable treasure was simply left in the Treasure Pavilion, displayed and sold for 500,000 gold soul coins—a price that was almost an insult to it.

In the end, it benefited Lin Yun.

If General Lin Yun knew about Xuanzi's actions, he would definitely be able to comment on Xuanzi in this way: As expected of a double agent of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, the legendary Supreme Elder above Kong Deming and Long Xiaoyao, the fundamental reason why Ye Xishui rejected Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, and the spiritual pillar of the evil soul masters!

They're really determined to destroy Shrek!

Xuanzi's humiliating and arduous infiltration of Shrek Academy is certainly not something that would make the heroes shed tears. /Humorous.

These are all things to be discussed later, so let's leave them aside for now.

It turns out that Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian came to Jubaoge to accompany Lin Yun in picking up bargains. Neither of them bought anything at all. As for Wu Feng, he was like a bound spirit trapped next to Ning Tian.

That's simply incredible.

However, after wandering around, there wasn't much else to find. After all, Shrek Academy wasn't full of fools. They knew whether the items they put up for sale were valuable or not, and there weren't that many bargains left for Lin Yun to pick up.

They weren't interested in things like soul bones and soul tools.

So after walking around with the girls for a while, Lin Yun and his group found Huo Yuhao, who had also come up empty-handed, and left the Treasure Pavilion to return to Shrek Academy.

Overall, the trip was worthwhile; the 'stone' was definitely worth the trip for Lin Yun, and the rewards far outweighed the costs.

Back at Shrek Academy, Lin Yun initially wanted to help Xiao Xiao absorb the whale gel directly, but considering the dress Xiao Xiao was wearing that night, he gave up on the idea. In the original story, Huo Yuhao had made himself look extremely disheveled when absorbing the whale gel, so he would find another opportunity to help Xiao Xiao absorb it next time.

Having already absorbed the Fire Dragon King's soul bone and increased his extreme fire attribute, he was fully capable of melting the whale glue on his own, without needing anyone else's help.

"See you tomorrow, Brother Yun~" Xiao Xiao tiptoed and gave Lin Yun a deep kiss, then ran upstairs with a blush on her face.

"...See you tomorrow." Lin Yun gently touched the lingering fragrance on his lips, smiled slightly, and turned to walk into his room.

Today was truly a fruitful day.
