Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 34 Tang San, please invite your mother to the banner for a chat!

After Xiao Wu, Su Lin, and Uncle Huang were freed from the illusion, Bai Yu deliberately had the three of them kill the black panther within the illusion, thus seamlessly connecting the illusion with reality.

Su Lin looked at the already dead black panther, thinking they had just killed it, and excitedly said:

"Great! This black panther could fetch at least two hundred gold soul coins at the market!"

A hundred-year-old soul beast, sold separately for its fur and meat, would fetch around 500 gold soul coins on the market. This black panther, being sixty or seventy years old, could easily sell for at least 200 gold soul coins.

Uncle Huang smacked his lips and said:

"It's a pity it died right away. We weren't far from the exit. If we had kept it alive, we might have been able to sell its spirit ring for at least double the price!"

Even so, two hundred gold soul coins is still a considerable sum. As a Grand Soul Master serving as a guest elder in the Su family, he earns 20 gold soul coins per month, which is quite a good salary.

But if you're a Soul Master, you get 200 per month, and that's just the basic income.

Uncle Huang looked at Bai Yu and Xiao Wu and said:

"I contributed the most to killing this black panther. Su Shao and I will split it 70%, and you two will take 30%. How about that?"

He was asking a question, not giving a notification.

However, the impulsive Xiao Wu couldn't help but want to speak, but Bai Yu stopped her.

Bai Yu smiled and said to Uncle Huang:

"A very reasonable allocation."

Uncle Huang breathed a sigh of relief.

With Dean Wu behind him and being a genius support-type Soul Master himself, if Bai Yu insists on demanding more, Uncle Huang will have no choice but to give it to him.

But Bai Yu didn't do that. His ability to remain calm and not greedy in the face of wealth truly shows his promising future. Uncle Huang laughed:

"Your character is truly admirable."

Bai Yu was only trying to improve his relationship with the Su family and build good relations with the wealthy families in Notting City so that it would be easier for him to act. He didn't care about the few dozen gold soul coins.

Soon, Uncle Huang dragged the black panther's carcass away from the Soul Hunter Forest and set up a stall at the market to sell his wares.

Buying and selling is not a simple matter. In order to maximize profits, the pelt and various parts of the black panther need to be sold separately, which may take several days. Therefore, Bai Yu and Xiao Wu returned to the academy first, and Uncle Huang will send someone to deliver the rest of the money.

On the way, Xiao Wu grabbed Bai Yu and pouted, dissatisfied:

"Xiaoyu, how could you trust those people surnamed Su and Huang so much? What if they lie to you, say they didn't sell it, and pocket your money?"

"They're not that stupid," Bai Yu laughed.

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, I believe in them, and they trust me too."

"But we could clearly earn much more!"

"Xiao Wu, do I look like a greedy person to you?"

Bai Yu suddenly stared into Xiao Wu's eyes. His deep gaze made Xiao Wu's heart flutter, and her face flushed slightly.

"But... never mind, whatever you say!"

Xiao Wu crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head away, and pretended to ignore Bai Yu.

Bai Yu smiled and began to silently plan in his mind.

"I have three things to do for a long time to come."

"First, soul refining. I will often follow the wealthy families in Notting City into the Soul Hunting Forest to explore. During this time, I will try to find one or two hundred-year-old soul beasts, refine them into soul pets, and improve my combat power."

"Sigh, if only the Emperor's Banner could summon soul pets in the future. Since the Myriad Soul Banner can't appear openly, maybe I can buy one in a shop in the future?"

"But isn't it a bit far-fetched for a support-type spirit to summon a beast? It doesn't seem so. Tang San, a control-type spirit master, was able to awaken a powerful offensive spirit skill like the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. What am I afraid of?"

"Then the second thing is to accumulate points, the more the better, so that I can buy soul skills, martial souls, and soul rings to train my own subordinates in the future."

"Third, find an opportunity to visit Holy Soul Village and invite Ah Yin to join my banner for a chat, hehe."

Bai Yu set three plans for himself, thinking he wouldn't have the chance to realize them in a short time. But who knew that the opportunity would come just one month later!

. . . . . .

That day, Bai Yu was walking in the academy when he saw a group of girls walking together in the distance suddenly scatter and run in all directions, as if they had encountered some kind of monster.

Bai Yu looked closely and saw Tang San walk out from behind them.

Well, it seems Tang San has really become a pariah. Bai Yu was just about to pretend he didn't see him when Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly walked towards Bai Yu.

"Xiaoyu, I need to talk to you about something!"

Bai Yu stopped and smiled, asking:

"What is it?"

Tang San got straight to the point:

"Xiaoyu, right now I only trust you and my teacher. My teacher wants me to go to the Soul Hunter Forest to train and gain experience, and he will go with me. I wanted to ask if you have time so we can go together."

Bai Yu fell into deep thought.

Tang San now works at the blacksmith shop in the city several times a week, spending little time at the academy. Now he's going to the Soul Hunting Forest for training, so it seems he's been bullied and rejected at the academy and can't stay there any longer.

Yu Xiaogang went with Tang San, and Tang Hao was definitely worried and would definitely go with him. So, could I take this opportunity to recruit Ah Yin?

Bai Yu asked Tang San:

"When are you leaving, and how many days do you plan to stay?"

Tang San, completely unsuspecting, said directly:

"Let's go for two or three days tomorrow morning."

Two or three days is more than enough. Bai Yu looked at Tang San with an apologetic expression:

"I'm sorry, mistress, I don't have time. I'm sorry I can't go with you."

Tang San looked disappointed.

"However," Bai Yu changed the subject, "with Master Da by your side, you'll be fine. You can stay in the forest a little longer; if you find any valuable treasures, you won't have to go to work anymore."

The longer you stay inside, the better!

Tang San felt somewhat grateful; Xiao Yu really does care about me!

The two said goodbye, and the next morning, after watching Tang San and Master Da Shi leave Notting Academy, Bai Yu was secretly delighted. He also left Notting Academy, hired a carriage, and sped towards Holy Soul Village.

At noon, Bai Yu returned to Holy Soul Village, but instead of entering through the village entrance, he went directly around the back mountain and headed straight for the valley where Ah Yin's true form was located.

Soon, Bai Yu arrived in the valley and reached the waterfall.

"If I remember correctly, there are mechanisms on the cliff face."

Amidst the sounds of birdsong, fragrant flowers, and the babbling of a brook, he summoned Xiao Qing, sending it to climb the steep rock face, where it quickly located the mechanism.

Yu struggled to climb the rock wall, opened the mechanism, and entered the real cave entrance.

Suddenly, the view opened up before him. Bai Yu walked into the passage and found that apart from the dampness at the entrance, the inside of the cave was dark and dry. Only at the end was there a hole that let in a few rays of sunlight, but it was still not enough to illuminate the area.

He had to summon the Emperor's Banner, which emitted golden light, to illuminate the path so that he could see clearly.

"No, Blue Silver Grass is still a plant, after all. There's no water or sunlight in this cave. Is Tang Hao really not slowly murdering Ah Yin Yao?"

Bai Yu made a comment, walked to the end of the passage, and entered a doorless stone chamber. In the center of the chamber was an extremely dry mound of earth, on which grew a blue silver grass with golden patterns.

But perhaps due to the dryness, the golden patterns were extremely dull, and the blue silver grass also looked somewhat wilted.

Bai Yu glanced at it and suddenly whispered:

"A-Gin?"
