Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 15 Whale glue and the eve of the soul hunt

A month passed quickly, and although Zhu Zhuqing made a bold move, there was not much change apparent on the outside.

Her dress and behavior remained the same, but beneath her calm appearance, something seemed to be quietly changing.

After that day, her conversations with Ling Qianyao became more frequent, they smiled more often, and they became closer.

After leaving a package containing gold soul coins to Old Jason, the two of them set out on the journey back to Xingluo City.

Old Jason refused at first, but only agreed after Ling Qianyao took out thousands of gold soul coins and placed them on his desk.

However, he only accepted 100 gold soul coins, and if you gave him more, he would say he would turn against you.

Ling Qianyao did not force it. After all, one gold soul coin was enough for an ordinary family of three in Douluo Continent to live for several months. For old Jason, these gold soul coins were already a considerable fortune.

Xingluo City, the Magical Weapon Shop.

Ling Qianyao took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked out of the shop.

"Qianyao, what are you here to buy?"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly. This was one of the businesses of their Zhu family. As a relatively large shop in Xingluo City, Huanqi Zhenfang mainly sold various fantasy instruments, accessories, antiques and some rare materials.

There are many items that can be sent to auction.

However, another reason why this place is still famous among the nobles is that this store often sells whale glue, a "tonic".

Whale glue is a special substance produced in the brains of whale-like soul beasts and is produced in coastal areas.

Since most sea soul beasts will not approach the mainland, especially whale soul beasts, whale glue is quite expensive. Even a thousand-year-old whale glue costs one or two thousand gold soul coins. The larger the size, the higher the price.

Ten thousand year old whale glue is extremely rare, and it is normal to sell it for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins.

During this period in Douluo Continent, the function of whale glue was not yet known. It was mostly used by the nobles in bed for its aphrodisiac effect.

"Buy whale glue."

"Oh, you're buying whale glue, huh?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Qianyao, you're buying whale glue for..."

She naturally misunderstood. Although the nobles of Xingluo were not as extravagant and indulgent as those of Tiandou, all crows are black, and they are very similar in some ways.

"Duang~"

Ling Qianyao flicked her forehead in annoyance, "What are you thinking about in your little head? I didn't buy whale glue for those mundane uses."

Besides, he can’t do it now, right?

"I'll tell you later. Don't speculate now. I'll explain the true purpose of whale glue to you when we get back."

Upon hearing this, the doubts in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes gradually dissipated. She nodded and kept looking around at the person who came. Only after she was sure that it was not someone she knew did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Putting on a veil, she followed Ling Qianyao and the two walked hand in hand into the Magical Weapon Shop.

"Boss, show me the best whale glue you have." Ling Qianyao said straightforwardly.

"what?"

The boss was stunned and looked at the young boy and girl in front of him, "Sir, are you serious?" Whose young master and young lady are these? Are they so awesome?
"Oh, I bought it for my brother. He is getting married soon and this is a gift." "You, this..." The boss was speechless. Is this a serious gift?
However, adhering to the principle that if you have money and don't make money, you're a bastard, he still walked to the back room and took out a jade box. "Two thousand years old whale glue is the best we have in this store. There are not many in Xingluo City that can surpass this quality."

Ling Qianyao lifted up the jade box, glanced at the yellow whale glue, and silently activated his "Astrology". After confirming that it was a good omen, he nodded.

Under the boss's strange look, Ling Qianyao spent 1800 gold soul coins to buy the whale glue.

After the two walked out of the Magic Weapon Shop, the boss was looking at the golden soul coins he had just obtained with a smug look on his face, when suddenly a cold voice came from behind the counter.

"Come here."

Zhu Zhuyun took back the gold soul coin that the shop owner had just obtained, "If you hadn't met these two people today, the whale glue incident would never have happened. Understand?"

"I understand." The boss burst into tears.

Zhu Zhuyun put the gold soul coin into the storage bracelet, looked at Ling Qianyao who was walking away with a dangerous look, and gritted her teeth secretly.

"You better give me a reasonable explanation later, you little brat, or I'll teach you a lesson. How big is this?"

After returning to the academy, Ling Qianyao went straight to the dean and agreed to hunt soul beasts and obtain the first soul ring in two days.

After saying goodbye to his classmates in Dormitory 9, Ling Qianyao moved into the single dormitory that the dean had promised him last time with peace of mind.

Zhu Zhuqing was pulled into the dormitory by him. As soon as she entered the door, Ling Qianyao put the jade box in his hand on the table, turned around and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Gulp." Zhu Zhuqing said weakly, "So Qianyao, are you still going to use it yourself?"

Ling Qianyao couldn't help laughing when he heard that. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's expression which was still somewhat confused and a little shy, he shook his head.

"In fact, whale glue has another function. This extremely strong and yang tonic can strengthen the soul master's physique and increase his soul power by a very small amount after taking it.

The lifespan of a spirit ring depends on the spirit master's physique and mental strength. Zhuqing, do you understand what this whale glue means now?"

"Ah?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment.

Ling Qianyao continued, "The timing of its appearance is crucial. For a spirit master, by the time they have a chance to use it, the hundreds of years of spirit ring limit increase will no longer be of much use.

However, if a spirit master starts taking it when he is young and has just awakened, then the lifespan of the first and second spirit rings can be significantly increased."

"You mean, the second one of purple!" Zhu Zhuqing's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't care why Ling Qianyao knew the function of this whale glue.

Apart from the Star Cave and the Double Star Cultivation Method, there were many special things about Ling Qianyao that made her curious and admired.

The secret of whale glue cannot be kept secret forever, and he must use it before obtaining the spirit ring, so it is better to expose it. Moreover, he has also prepared forged books.

"Zhu Zhuyun should have received the news. I wonder if she's on her way here on horseback now."

Whale glue must be softened by burning it with a high-intensity flame before it can be eaten. Ling Qianyao does not have this opportunity now, so he chooses to attract Zhu Zhuyun's attention and wait for her to come to his house to deal with it.

The astrology in the shop just now was not to predict the authenticity of the whale glue itself, or whether it would be good or bad for him; but to predict the good or bad luck of helping Zhu Zhuyun.

She took her sister to buy whale glue. Given her personality, she would definitely come to check it out.
