Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 20 The Seed Thief Orange, I Am Your Seed Man

Huo Yuhao looked at the small, dark lump of substance on the platform, then subconsciously shifted his gaze to the wooden sign below the platform, which read: "Inferior whale glue, priced at five thousand gold soul coins."

"Inferior whale glue? Brother Tianmeng said he found a bargain again. Could it be the ten-thousand-year whale glue mentioned in the original work? However, this piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue is only the size of a palm. What a pity." Huo Yuhao's thoughts were churning.

However, he did not show that he recognized the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. Instead, he questioned, "Brother Tianmeng, the quality of this whale glue is too poor. I learned in class that good quality whale glue is golden yellow and has a crystal clear appearance."

After saying these words, he quietly waited for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to perform, leaving Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a stage to show off.

"Little Yuhao, that's because some people in the Sun Moon Empire don't know its value. This is ten-thousand-year whale glue! This stuff comes from a whale's brain. Eating it can improve your physique. If you eat it, it can at least increase the lifespan of your soul ring to three thousand years."

"The first spirit ring I give you will then be able to unleash the power of a three-thousand-year spirit ring, and your strength will be further enhanced. However, the only problem is that it's too small. If it were bigger, your body could withstand the spirit ring for an even longer period of time." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed with emotion.

"Brother Tianmeng, you're amazing! You know so much! As our teacher would say, this is what it means to have an elder in the family, like a treasure! No wonder you're a million-year-old soul beast!" Huo Yuhao fully utilized his eleven-year-old persona to praise Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Of course! Let me tell you, no human knows more about whale glue than I do!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also a little proud. To be honest, Huo Yuhao's praise made it happy. After all, in its long life, the praise it had heard was basically that it was good food or that it smelled good. This was the first time someone had praised it for knowing a lot.

If Bingbing were as sensible as Yuhao, she would just praise me!
Thinking of this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly felt a little melancholy. It knew that it had long since fallen hopelessly in love with Bingbing, but Bingbing's attitude towards it had always been rather bad, and she would turn it into food at the drop of a hat.

After calming down for a moment, it said, "Xiao Yuhao, you should buy this first to prevent someone else from buying it. Of course, you should stay in this shop for a while, after all, there are still some treasures to be found here."

"There are still treasures to snag?" Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and he called out, "Boss, I'll take this piece of whale glue."

“Okay.” The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, and Huo Yuhao took out the universal gold soul coin card given to him by Xuan Ziwen and handed it to him.

The middle-aged man was somewhat dismissive. After all, people who buy this kind of inferior whale glue are obviously not rich. Generally speaking, wealthy people would buy the kind of whale glue that has a golden hue.

The two quickly completed the transaction. Huo Yuhao stored the whale glue in his white cloud belt and then continued to wander around the shop. Soon, under the guidance of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he stopped in front of a platform.

Inside the crystal dome was a large, golden-yellow whale glue, so clear and translucent that it seemed about to burst the dome.

He subconsciously glanced at the wooden sign below the platform: "Millennium Whale Glue, priced at 300,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"Brother Tianmeng, when you say 'finding a bargain,' you mean this? Such a large piece of Millennium Whale Glue must have other secrets, right?" He knew that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wouldn't speak without reason, after all, their interests were now highly intertwined.

"Yes, Yuhao, you are very smart. It does indeed have other secrets."

It's not Thousand-Year Whale Glue; some humans have mistaken it for something else. Although it looks very similar, its effects are completely different. Its name is Demon Whale Glue, and it comes from the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan. The so-called Deep Sea Demon Whale is an extremely powerful sea spirit beast, and its reputation among sea spirit beasts is roughly equivalent to that of evil spirit masters among you humans.

Of course, not all deep-sea whales can produce this creature; the chance of it appearing is extremely small. Its function is also very simple: to enhance mental power. Therefore, no matter how much money it costs, you must obtain it!

Your martial soul is the Spirit Eye, so the strength of your spiritual power is extremely important to you.

Boost your mental strength!
Huo Yuhao immediately had an idea. After all, he didn't have the Purple Demon Eye and couldn't improve his mental strength by cultivating it. If he could get his hands on this so-called Demon Whale Glue, it would naturally be of great benefit to his strength.

"However, we can't afford it. How about we pawn the soul tool to the boss and then borrow money from Teacher Xuan? We can then redeem the soul tool later."
Although I have two level-four soul tools from Mingde Hall, even if I pawned them both, it wouldn't be enough. After all, a level-four milk bottle in the original story only sold for 25,000 gold soul coins at the Star Luo Auction House!

It's important to understand that the reason it sold for 25,000 gold soul coins was because the team leader, Wang Yan, wanted to buy it and send it back to Shrek Academy for research; otherwise, it could have been bought for just 20,000 gold soul coins.

Huo Yuhao immediately fell into thought.

Although the original novel did not mention the Demon Whale Glue, it was impossible for Huo Gua to consume all the rare and precious herbs. Moreover, it is understandable that Tianmeng said that the probability of its appearance was low.

After all, some things in Douluo Continent have a random probability of appearing. For example, as the king of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, Ice Emperor is undoubtedly extremely powerful, but he does not know the Ice Explosion Technique. In the original work, Huo Qubing's Ice Explosion Technique actually came from the soul bones of other Ice Jade Scorpions.

"We must find a way to acquire it, otherwise we'll lose a lot if someone else buys it later. Mental strength is too important for this body. Before becoming a Soul Douluo, I need to condense a mental core and achieve something unprecedented. I must lay a good foundation."

He took a deep breath, preparing to use the Red Dust Breastplate to fool the boss and get him to keep the "Demon Whale Glue" for the time being. As for how to fool him, he would naturally use the boss's name, since the Red Dust Breastplate was, after all, a work of Mingdetang Jing Hongchen, and its recognizability was still very high.

As for whether he could successfully fool them, he couldn't guarantee it, but he would give it a try anyway.

Just then, a female voice rang in his ears, "Huo Yuhao, what are you doing here?"

Ok?
Who called my name?
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction from which the voice came. It was a beautiful girl whom Huo Yuhao did not recognize at all.

"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"My name is Ju Zi, and I am one of Teacher Xuan Ziwen's four disciples. According to the order of enrollment, you should call me senior sister," Ju Zi said with a smile.

It's you, the one who stole the oranges!

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that his kidneys were in danger. After all, in the original story, Ju Zi stole Huo Gua's seed through special means and gave birth to Huo Gua's son.
