Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 141 Moon's Decisiveness

"Oh? Tell me about it." Mu En's eyes opened a little wider, and his somewhat dim eyes stared fixedly at Yan Shaozhe.

You actually come to me for advice when you have something to say?

That's really rare...

I thought you'd grown up and wanted to fly on your own, but it turns out you still have me as your teacher in your heart.

"It's like this, teacher, do you remember that outer academy student named Lin Yun? The one with the ultimate power attribute golden dragon martial soul." Yan Shaozhe decided to lay the groundwork first.

But it was this one sentence that made Moon's eyes widen slightly again.

How could Lin Yun not remember the little guy who had given him a huge shock on the very first day of school? Long Wei was even more impressive than him, an old man. It was hard not to leave a deep impression.

To be honest, Moon had a bad feeling at that moment.

Mu En knew Yan Shaozhe's character well; he was always up to petty, underhanded schemes and lacked the grandeur and majesty of the Bright Phoenix, far inferior to his teacher, the Bright Holy Dragon.

Could it be that you were trying to use some underhanded tricks on them, but they saw through your plan and are now trying to run away, so you had no other choice but to come to me?

Moon felt his heart stop beating, but fortunately he was well-mannered and did not lose his composure on the spot.

He patiently waited for Yan Shaozhe to continue, and based on Yan Shaozhe's next words, considered how to deal with this little Biden.

Because Yan Shaozhe was preoccupied with the immortal herb, he didn't notice his teacher's slightly strange expression. He said somewhat awkwardly, "The power behind him is not simple. Recently, he gave his girlfriend an immortal herb, the kind that the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils' ancestors consumed ten thousand years ago."

"After I discovered this, I went to talk to him. After all, you know Xiao Tao's situation, Teacher. If there is no immortal herb to solve her evil fire problem, she may never reach the level of her ancestors in this lifetime, and may even be completely consumed by the evil fire."

"And then?" Moon leaned back tactically, his eyes widening even more, his expression becoming solemn and respectful.

His sense of foreboding grew stronger.

Whether it's a magical herb or not is no longer important. What's important is that Yan Shaozhe didn't cause any more trouble for Shrek Academy. Not only did he fail to obtain the magical herb, but he also brought another formidable enemy upon Shrek Academy.

Then Mu En really had the urge to slap Yan Shaozhe to death.

Fortunately, Yan Shaozhe's next words finally put him at ease.

"Lin Yun... does indeed possess other immortal herbs, and he has agreed to exchange them with us." After hesitating for a moment, Yan Shaozhe forced himself to speak, "However, the price of this exchange... is very high! So high that it's almost unacceptable to us."

"It is precisely because I am unsure whether this price is worthwhile that I have come to discuss it with you."

"Phew... thank goodness, nothing too serious happened!" Moon breathed a heavy sigh of relief, his eyes narrowing again. "So, what kind of price is it?"

"One...a complete set of 100,000-year-old soul bones..." Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth and stated Lin Yun's conditions for exchanging the immortal herbs.

"What?!" Moon's eyes, which had just been squinting, suddenly widened, his face filled with shock.

Yan Shaozhe was startled by Mu En's reaction, but he was somewhat prepared, since he hadn't been much better off when he first heard Lin Yun mention the price.

However, seeing his usually calm and composed teacher so shocked, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a bit astonished. "Teacher, you heard me right, and I didn't misspoke. The price he proposed is indeed a set of 100,000-year-old soul bones, all six pieces perfectly matched, with no duplicates." Yan Shaozhe smiled bitterly, his face full of helplessness. "It's precisely because I can't make the decision myself that I'm discussing this matter with you, Teacher."

Mu En finally realized why Yan Shaozhe didn't dare to make a decision on his own.

He lay back down on the recliner with a thoughtful expression, his face showing some inner conflict.

To be fair, this price is really not an exaggeration.

A complete set of 100,000-year-old soul bones, though extremely precious and enough to drive any force on the Douluo Continent mad, is undoubtedly more desirable than the legendary immortal herb that helped the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils become gods.

After the Seven Devils became gods, the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, which used to be the number one dream of soul masters, have long been replaced by immortal herbs.

Many people have absorbed 100,000-year-old soul rings and soul bones, but none of them have become gods. Very few people have absorbed immortal herbs, but those who have absorbed immortal herbs have all become gods without exception!

This is the information gap brought about by the legend, and it is also a trap that Tang San personally set for Shrek Academy.

Having monopolized the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for ten thousand years, he never allowed anyone to enter it, which resulted in no one in the Douluo Continent ever seeing the Immortal Herb in the past ten thousand years.

These herbs, which only enhance talent and origin, and may incidentally evolve martial souls, have been deified.

Even Mu En wouldn't think that exchanging a whole set of 100,000-year-old soul bones for a single immortal herb would be a waste.

On the contrary, Moon felt it was well worth it.

But the problem remains the same. Just like Yan Shaozhe's mindset before, Mu En is in the same boat now, because a complete set of 100,000-year soul bones is just too expensive!

It should be noted that of all the soul bones in Mu En's body, only five reached the 100,000-year level. Four of them were his skull, torso bone, left arm bone, and right leg bone, while the remaining one was an external soul bone that had evolved to the 100,000-year level.

The right arm bone and left leg bone are top-grade soul bones that are over 50,000 years old.

It was precisely because Mu En possessed five 100,000-year soul bones and three 100,000-year soul rings that he had such a powerful foundation. When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death in a great battle with Du Bisi, he not only survived the malevolent energy in the Dragon Core, but also broke through his limits by putting himself in a life-or-death situation.

If he didn't have a strong foundation, how could he have survived until now with such injuries?

Even Du Bu Si thought he was already dead.

The assistance provided by the 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone is beyond doubt.

Now, Lin Yun actually wants Shrek Academy to give him a complete set of 100,000-year soul bones. Even if it's an equal exchange, it's enough to make Shrek Academy feel the pinch.

"Teacher, shall we switch?" Yan Shaozhe's tone was a mix of tentative inquiry and hope.

He truly hoped that his disciple could break free from the cage and successfully evolve into a true fire phoenix!

After pondering for a moment, Moon nodded decisively.

"Change it, it absolutely has to be changed!"

If a 100,000-year-old soul bone is lost, it can be slowly accumulated again, but if the immortal herb is lost, who knows when it will be possible to encounter it again!
