Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 177 Life Ivy, Golden Beast
"You actually have a hobby of collecting antique coins?" Jiang Nannan asked in surprise.
"It's just a personal hobby," Shi Yu smiled and said nothing more.
They arrived at Auction Room No. 4, where the auction had not yet officially begun.
After a short wait, the auction officially began, and valuable collectibles were presented one by one.
Shi Yu wasn't particularly interested in antique ceramics and jade until an ancient coin was presented to him.
He stared at the ancient coin and looked at it again and again, trying to confirm whether it was the ancient coin he had in mind.
I was 70% sure, so I kept following the price after the bidding started.
The people at the scene were quite interested in these antiques and many of them made bids.
Shi Yu was determined to acquire it. No matter how much the other party offered, he would follow suit. In the end, he finally won the ancient coin, which could have been handed down from ten thousand years ago, at a high price of 1.95 million.
"Is it worth spending so much money on an ancient coin that only has collectible value?" asked Elder Xuan, frowning.
Shi Yu smiled slightly and said: "It's a personal hobby. As long as I can buy what I like and feel happy, no matter how much money I spend, it's worth it."

Xuan Lao looked at Shi Yu deeply, then looked at the image of the ancient coin. He couldn't help but wonder if this ancient coin had some other mysteries.
He didn't think Shi Yu was willing to spend so much money to buy it out of a genuine desire to collect it.
He tried to ask, and Shi Yu's answer was simple: it was just an antique coin, nothing special about it.
After buying the ancient coin, they went backstage to pay the bill and had no intention of staying to participate in the auction or to watch the fun.
"This is what I owe the academy. I will pay it back when I have money." After Xuan Lao paid the bill, Shi Yu said to Xuan Lao.
He still felt bad about having to pay the college for nothing, and he didn't want to take advantage of the college for no reason.
"It doesn't matter whether you return it or not," said Master Xuan generously.
Compared to the 1.95 million, Shi Yu's sense of indebtedness to the academy was clearly more important.
This is also the academy's way of controlling people. If you want students to feel a sense of belonging to the academy, you need to give them some benefits, so that they feel they owe the academy something.
The group left the auction house and returned to their residence in the palace. As soon as Shi Yu returned to his room, he closed the door and took out the antique coin.
Tentatively holding the coin with both hands, the contact position is very particular.
He held the coin with both hands and blew hard on it.
"Ding!" The coin made a slight sound and trembled slightly, then a special light shone on the surface, and the rust began to fall off.
"Really?" Shi Yu was surprised to see the coin change like this, and the uncertainty in his heart also disappeared.
Finally, he was sure that this was the coin he had imagined, and it could be considered a storage soul guide.
However, the value of this storage soul guide itself is not high. What is really important is the contents of this storage soul guide.
The light emitted by the coin became more and more intense, and a ball of light flew out from it and fell to the ground.
Shi Yu looked closely and saw a bulging bag made of rattan, with the opening of the bag stretched tight.
The surface of the bag radiated a green light, and Shi Yu felt a strong breath of life from it.
After a moment of surprise, Shi Yu immediately used the power of space to isolate the aura emitted by the bag.
This was to avoid being sensed by Alex, who might be very interested in things with strong vitality, such as the Gold of Life.
He was not sure whether the value of this thing was higher than the gold of living beings, and it was difficult to judge.
But one thing is certain, the value of this bag far exceeds 1.95 million gold soul coins, and even over 100 million is easy.
If he remembered correctly, the vines of this bag were woven from the roots of the life ivy.
One inch of Life Ivy can extend a person's lifespan by a hundred years. If the vines in this bag were stretched straight, it would probably be over ten meters long, which could extend a person's lifespan by at least thirty thousand years. This shows how valuable it is.
Of course, that's the magical effect of the main vine of the Ivy of Life. The roots are slightly less effective, but even a halved flower can extend life by 15,000 years.
If he were to dismantle it and take out a small section to auction, claiming it could extend life by years or even decades, the price would definitely be raised to tens of millions, or even over 100 million.
The actual value of this bag alone is at least over 10 billion, far exceeding its auction price.
Just looking at the bag made of Life Ivy, it was well worth the money.
What's more, it also contains a powerful golden behemoth, a creature as powerful as the nine dragon kings. Cultivating it will be a great help to me.
The value of this creature is extremely high, far beyond the price of 1.95 million.
As far as these two things were concerned, his 1.95 million was well worth it and he made a lot of money.
Shi Yu took the woven bag in his hand, opened it carefully, and looked inside. He saw a small animal lying inside, in a deep sleep.
He observed it for a while, and only after making sure that the little beast was asleep did he carefully pour it out.
A small, pale golden animal that looked very similar to an ape lay on the table, motionless and in deep sleep.
Shi Yu looked at the little beast curiously, knowing full well that this was the powerful Golden Behemoth, a race that dared to challenge the Dragon Clan.
Although they were eventually destroyed by the Dragon God, their courage alone shows how extraordinary they were.
He definitely has strength, but there may still be some gap between him and the Dragon God.
"How can I make it recognize me as its master?" Shi Yu couldn't help but ponder this question.
I didn't think of killing it to obtain the spirit ring and spirit bone. First, the spirit ring didn't match my own attributes, so it was useless.
Furthermore, this beast cannot be considered a soul beast in the conventional sense, and killing it may not necessarily result in the appearance of a soul ring.
Killing it to obtain its spirit rings and spirit bones is obviously a waste, and will cause the royal family of Behemoth to die in vain.
It is more reasonable to subdue it and train it into a thug, so as to maximize its value.
This clan dared to challenge the Dragon Clan, and they were facing a Dragon Clan with a Dragon God. If they could be trained, they could not only rival the Dragon God, but they could also challenge the gods.
Cultivating it might become a trump card for me, and if I were to face a god, I would have a certain degree of resistance.
"I can only try to drip some blood." Shi Yu pondered for a moment, and wanted to try to combine the contract magic taught by Alex to subdue the golden behemoth.
Ilex taught him how to transform living creatures into his own undead puppets.
He had no intention of killing the Golden Behemoth and transforming it into a puppet, as that would significantly reduce his growth potential.
What he wanted was to learn from the contract law in it, so that he could communicate with him while he was still alive.
