Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 868 But there's just too much money.

Although it's only a tiny piece, about the size of a fingertip, even such a small piece of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow will greatly benefit its future cultivation!
It is no exaggeration to say that just this small piece of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, once absorbed, will allow his cultivation to rapidly rise to the level of a 50,000 Year Sea Demon Elephant within a hundred years, and will increase his chances of passing the 100,000 Year Barrier by 30%!
"Seashells are precious, we can't."

The sea monster instinctively blurted out its refusal, but it only got halfway through its sentence before it panicked and covered its mouth with its large, fan-like forelimbs.

"But I can give you one in return, since you're a good human being."

The Sea Demon Elephant leader comforted itself in this way. Since Chen Ping had helped them, and even helped the Sea Princess clan avenge their grievances, and given his sincerity in giving Chen Ping an anti-air conch shell, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Then it's settled."

Chen Ping flicked his finger, sending the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow to the Sea Demon Elephant leader. The Sea Demon Elephant leader opened its huge mouth without hesitation and ate the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow directly, completely ignoring the extremely envious looks from its companions.

Although they had never seen the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow, they could sense the immense benefits it would bring them. How could one describe the value of such a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow?
To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it's probably even more rewarding than letting them devour the carcass of a deep-sea whale king and eat their fill in one go!
"So precious, so precious"

The sea monster leader, unusually, remembered the etiquette of the human world and began to act politely like a human.

Feeling the terrifying chill of the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Sea Demon Elephant leader squinted its eyes in comfort, its forelimbs patting its belly incessantly.

"Since you are a good human, I will take you to see Princess Sea."

After saying this, the Sea Demon Elephant leader flipped over, skewered the heads of the two evil spirit elders onto its tusks, and then swam into the sea with a whoosh.

"You're really generous."

Lan Fuzi watched as Chen Ping casually produced a small piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow. Even though she herself didn't really need it, she was still very envious.

Chen Ping smiled and shook his head: "It's just a piece of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow. If you want it, I'll share a piece with you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi was somewhat eager to try, but ultimately shook his head.

"Forget it, I am a soul beast with both water and lightning attributes. Rashly absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow may cause me to undergo some kind of evolution, but then I may not be able to adapt to the deep sea environment and will only be able to stay in the icy sea."

As she spoke, Lan Fuzi walked to the edge of the island and transformed into the body of a demonic whale: "Come on up."

Without any hesitation, Chen Ping leaped onto Lan Fuzi's back, put away the anti-air conch shell that might prove incredibly useful on the battlefield in the future, and headed into the deep sea in the direction of the Sea Demon Elephant leader.

Perhaps because he had already informed the Sea Elephant, Chen Ping soon met the real Sea Princess clan.

Ahead of them, just a few hundred meters away, were at least several hundred sea spirit beasts of all kinds.

Among these sea spirit beasts, those floating at the very front were none other than beautiful mermaids, both male and female.

Holding spears or unidentified corals, they stared at Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi with astonishment in their eyes.

Lan Fuzi had visited the Sea Princess's territory quite a few times, so when the group of merfolk rushed out, expecting a bloody battle, they were utterly astonished to see Chen Ping riding on Lan Fuzi's back at breakneck speed. Fortunately, perhaps because they were paid to do it, it didn't take long for the Sea Demon Elephant leader to step forward and explain the whole story.

When the sea princesses heard that Chen Ping was the one who killed the two people who had killed countless sea spirit beasts, and even their mermaid princess, their eyes softened as they looked at the two fine heads hanging from the tusks of the sea demon elephant leader.

"Human, our Sea Princess clan owes you a favor—provided that what you said is true."

A cool, clear spiritual thought entered Chen Ping's mind, and Chen Ping subconsciously followed the direction of this spiritual power.

What he saw was an absolutely beautiful mermaid. This mermaid was about three meters long, and her upper body was completely human female. Two white, jade-like seashells protected her important parts of her chest, and that was all she wore on her upper body.

Her aquamarine hair flowed behind her, but instead of undulating with the water, it formed a disc shape. In her hand, she held a silver spear. Her lower body was a huge fish tail, covered with deep blue scales, which was extremely beautiful.

On the mermaid's forehead, she wore a silver crown with a blue gemstone in the center, signifying her status.

"Lina?"

Lan Fuzi looked at the crowned mermaid, her tone somewhat heavy.

"Little Blue."

Upon hearing Lan Fuzi's slightly somber tone, Wang Guanmei's mood immediately soured, and she flashed to the two of them.

"You, you found my sister? Didn't you and this human find the murderer who killed my sister?"

The mermaid's tone carried a hint of urgency, as well as a fear that her worries might come true.

"I"

Lan Fuzi was at a loss for words to answer Lina, feeling as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

"Okay, I understand." The mermaid with the crown seemed to realize something, as if all her strength had been drained away.

The other hundred or so mermaids, upon hearing these words, immediately became sorrowful, their grief spreading out and even affecting Chen Ping's emotions.

As expected of the race with the strongest spiritual power in the ocean!
Chen Ping sighed. Although he knew that the mermaids of the Sea Princess clan could connect their mental fluctuations to form a large net and unleash an effect similar to a martial soul combination technique, he did not expect that even the mermaids' unintentional emotional fluctuations could have such a powerful impact.

The mermaids' grief lasted for a long time before it subsided. The first to recover from that intense emotion was Lina, the crowned mermaid.

"I'm sorry, distinguished guests, please come with us. In any case, you have helped us avenge what we could not do ourselves. Please allow us to entertain you as a token of our gratitude."

Chen Ping nodded. The next moment, Lina waved her hand, and a soft blue halo enveloped Chen Ping, turning him into a giant blue bubble, which then sank into the sea.
