Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 56 The Gold of Living Things
"External soul bone!"

When Wu Ming saw the external soul bone, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo also looked at the external soul bone in shock.

"I bought this at the Mingdu auction."

Dugu Han explained, "It is said that there is the residual soul of that Titled Douluo-level evil soul master inside. I need my teacher to help me check it before absorbing it."

"Another evil soul master!"

"You've disturbed the nest of evil spirit masters!"

Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but sigh: "But your luck is really good. External soul bones are rarer than hundred thousand year soul bones."

"It's okay. This external soul bone has lost a lot of its essence. It's only about 1,900 years old now, and it's difficult to improve it, so not many people want to buy it." Dugu Han smiled.

"In that case, the value of this external soul bone is not that great!"

Yan Shaozhe stretched out his hand and gently brushed the external soul bone. While using his mental power to check if there was any residual soul of the evil soul master inside, he asked, "How many gold soul coins did you pay for it?"

"Eighteen million gold soul coins!"

"How many?"

Yan Shaozhe widened his eyes in pain.

When Zhang Ruoxuan and the other two heard the 18 million gold soul coins, they looked at Dugu Han in surprise.

Eighteen million gold soul coins, this price can buy a high-quality 30,000-year soul bone!
"No way, someone outbid me!"

Dugu Han was also somewhat helpless. If it weren't for those three evil soul masters, he could have bought it for a maximum of eight million gold soul coins.

But it was also okay, he also got 17 million gold soul coins from the three evil soul masters. After all, buying this external soul bone only cost him 1 million gold soul coins.

One million gold soul coins in exchange for an external soul bone is definitely a huge profit!

“What a spendthrift!”

Yan Shaozhe felt a pang of heartache.

Eighteen million gold soul coins, just come to him with these gold soul coins. Although he can't get an external soul bone, he can guarantee to arrange a high-quality 40,000-year soul bone for Dugu Han.

Even high-quality soul bones that are 50,000 or even 60,000 years old are not impossible.

It just so happened that because of the bucket of 100,000-year-old Ice Crystal Dragon King's blood that Old Mu brought back, he still owed Dugu Han a favor!

And the benefits should not be wasted on outsiders!
So what if he gives his junior fellow apprentice some discount!
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe thought about having a good talk with Dugu Han later. If he needed any spirit bones in the future, he could just come to him. Shrek Academy has been passed down for thousands of years, so there is no shortage of spirit bones!

Afterwards, he sped up his inspection of the external soul bone and confirmed that there was no remnant of the evil soul master's soul inside it. Then he said, "I checked it for you. There is no remnant of the evil soul master's soul in this external soul bone."

"Okay, then after I meet the teacher, I'll find some time to absorb it!"

Dugu Han smiled and closed the lead box containing the external soul bone, then put it into the Love of Ice and Snow, planning to wait until he met his teacher and then let him check it.

Rather than hoping that the evil soul master's residual soul was not in the external soul bone, he hoped that the evil soul master's residual soul was hidden very deeply and was not noticed by Yan Shaozhe.

After all, if Dugu Han absorbed the residual soul of a Titled Douluo, his mental power would definitely skyrocket.

"The teacher is right next to the freshman dormitory building in the external courtyard. Just..."

As Dean Yan spoke, he suddenly remembered that this was Dugu Han's first time at Shrek Academy. Although Elder Xue was a graduate of Shrek Academy, that was more than seventy years ago, and the address of the Shrek Academy's freshman dormitory building had also been changed.

So he looked at Zhang Lexuan and the other two and said, "I have some things to take care of here. Can you help me take Xiaohan over there?"

"Row!"

Zhang Lexuan and the other two naturally had no problem.

"Brother, I'll go find the teacher first!"

Dugu Han said something to Yan Shaozhe, then followed Zhang Lexuan and the other two out.

Because they were led by Zhang Lexuan and three other fair-skinned and beautiful senior students from the inner courtyard, they naturally could not avoid being noticed by the passing students from the outer courtyard along the way.

Soon they arrived at the freshman dormitory building in the outer courtyard.

The freshmen of this batch are attending classes, so there are almost no people in the dormitory building.

There was only an old man who was about to die, sitting on a recliner in the corridor, taking a nap in the sun.

"Mr. Mu!"

Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and called out softly.

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming stood aside awkwardly, not daring to say a word.

After all, the ninety-nine-level Extreme Douluo is a legendary figure even to them.

"what?"

Mu Lao opened his eyes as if he had just woken up. Seeing that it was Zhang Lexuan who woke him up, he said kindly, "It's Lexuan. What's going on?"

"Mr. Mu, your disciple is here!" Zhang Lexuan explained.

"disciple?"

Mu Lao pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is it Shaozhe? Where are the others?"

"No, that's boring!"

Dugu Han stood aside speechless. He didn't believe that a level 99 Extreme Douluo couldn't notice their arrival, let alone realize that he was standing right next to them.

I'm afraid I discovered it as early as when I entered the academy!
"who are you?"

Mu Lao looked at Dugu Han, then at Zhang Lexuan, and asked in a puzzled manner, "Who is this?"

Zhang Lexuan was stunned. She looked at Dugu Han, then at Elder Mu, and explained in a low voice, "Dean Yan said that Dugu Han is his junior fellow apprentice and also your disciple."

"When did I have such a disciple?"

"You really don't know him?"

"do not know!"

Old Mu stared at Dugu Han for a long time, but still said he didn't know him.

Dugu Han: "..."

Zhang Lexuan was stunned, and Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming beside her were also stunned!
Even Xue Lao was stunned!

Dugu Han said that he was Mu Lao's disciple, and Yan Shaozhe also proved this, but Mu Lao himself denied it.

What's the situation?
Several people turned their eyes to Dugu Han. Dugu Han said helplessly: "You are so boring now!"

"Look, I'm just teasing you guys!"

Mu Lao smiled and said to Zhang Lexuan and the other two, "This kid is indeed my disciple."

Zhang Lexuan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

As long as they are not mistaken.

Then Mu Lao looked at Xue Lao and said, "Xue Ming, long time no see!"

"Old Dean!"

Elder Xue said respectfully, "How have you been these years?"

"good!"

Mu Lao nodded slightly, and finally looked at Dugu Han and said happily: "It's been a year and two months. You kid really is not the one who knows to come and see an old man like me."

"Disciple has been practicing all the time and has no time!" Dugu Han laughed awkwardly.

"You don't have time to come and see me, your teacher, but you do have time to go and play in Mingdu!"

As Mu Lao spoke, he stretched out his withered arm and said, "Give it to me. I heard everything you and Shaozhe said!"

"Teacher, thank you for your help!"

Dugu Han quickly took out the lead box containing the external soul bone, along with the soul-devouring carving knife.

After taking it, Mr. Mu picked up the Soul-Devouring Knife, placed it in front of his eyes, and frowned.

There is an evil nature on the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife that can affect people's character. This is exactly the same as what Dugu Han said to Yan Shaozhe before.

But besides that evil nature, he also felt a breath of life.

The moment he held the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, Mu Lao could clearly feel that his body, which was on the verge of death after returning from that forced expedition to the Far North, seemed to be rejuvenated with new vitality.

"This carving knife contains an incomparable and powerful vitality. Where did you get it from?" Mu Lao looked at Dugu Han in surprise and asked

"In the auction house of Xingluo City."

Dugu Han explained, "Teacher, this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is made of... a special metal, so it contains an immense amount of vitality."

"Special metal?"

Mu Lao looked at Dugu Han, then at Zhang Lexuan and the other two, and understood what was going on. He then said to them kindly, "I'll take this kid to the Sea God Pavilion. Please find a place for Xue Ming to live!"

"it is good!"

Although Zhang Lexuan and the other two were curious about what kind of metal the carving knife was made of, they were curious about how it could contain such vitality that even the Extreme Douluo was surprised.

But he had to obey Mr. Mu's order, so he immediately took Mr. Xue out of the freshman building.

After Mu Lao and the others left, his dry big hands grabbed Dugu Han's shoulders and his body moved.

Dugu Han only felt that the scene in front of him was blurry for a moment, and when he could see clearly again, he had appeared in a small building full of light and life.

In the room where he was, there was an oval long table with ten chairs. On the main seat inside, there was a recliner that was also full of light and life. Old Mu was lying on it.

"This is Poseidon Pavilion!"

Old Mu lay on the recliner, explained the location, and then pointed lightly at Dugu Han. A chair full of light and life automatically fell behind him.

Dugu Han naturally sat on it without any hesitation.

Then, Old Mu picked up the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife with his left hand. The index finger and thumb of his right hand glowed with golden light, and he gently wiped the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

The evil nature of the Soul-Devouring Knife was instantly wiped out, and the fierce and oppressive aura emanating from it also immediately dissipated without a trace.

"All right!"

Old Mu smiled and handed the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife to Dugu Han.

Dugu Han took the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife and after feeling it, he found that there was indeed no trace of evil on it!

However, in addition to hoping that his teacher could erase the evil nature from the Soul-Devouring Knife, he also had another request.

"teacher!"

Dugu Han smiled and handed the Soul Devouring Carving Knife to Mu Lao again, saying in a flattering tone, "This time, I came here, not only hoping that you can help me erase the evil nature on it, but also hoping that you can help me absorb this piece of Living Gold into your body, or into your Sea of ​​Spirit."

"Gold of living beings?"

Old Mu took the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife and pondered for a moment, very confused about the name.

Even though he had lived for so many years and read all kinds of ancient books, he had never heard of this word.

But I think it should be the name of the special metal that Dugu Han mentioned before, which is used to make the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife!
Mr. Mu thought about it and laughed.

It’s no wonder that the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife contains an extremely powerful vitality, so it’s really no problem to call it the gold of life.

"Do you know the Gold of Life?"

Dugu Han was stunned when he saw Mu Lao suddenly laugh!
"do not know!"

“But I think this name is very suitable!”

Mu Lao smiled, looked at Dugu Han and asked, "But since you know this name, I think you should know what the Gold of Life is!"

"The Gold of Life is an immense life force. After condensing together, it has been nurtured for tens of millions of years, first forming into a gaseous state, then a liquid state, and finally condensing into a solid, purified form."

After Dugu Han finished his explanation, he thought for a moment and said, "The Soul Gold used in this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, based on the vitality of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, would have taken a full 200,000 years to form."

Upon hearing this, Old Mu looked at the Soul-Devouring Knife in his hand, and a hint of shock flashed across his eyes, which had long been calm.

The vitality of an entire Star Dou Forest takes two hundred thousand years to form such a small piece of gold of life.

No wonder he could feel an incomparably powerful vitality from it!

but……

Mu Lao frowned as he looked at Dugu Han's physique and said thoughtfully, "With your current physique, it would be difficult for you to absorb such a powerful vitality."

"I know, so I need your help, teacher." Dugu Han said truthfully.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, the 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle forcefully swallowed the piece of gold of life, but its vitality was devoured by the gold of life. In a short period of time, its cultivation level dropped from 100,000 years to 30,000 years.

Although the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife's Soul Gold is far less massive than that piece of Soul Gold, Dugu Han doesn't think his current vitality can be compared to that of the 100,000-year-old golden tortoise shell.
