Douluo Continent: I can overdraft the future in advance

Luo Yun placed the gold soul coins on the counter, took the key, and went upstairs.

After closing the door, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Each of the events of the past few days would have taken him a long time to process on its own, but now they all happened within a few days, and his brain is somewhat overloaded.

"We'll talk about it when we get back," he muttered to himself.

She turned over, pulled the blanket over herself, and closed her eyes.

He slept soundly for a long time, and when he woke up it was already noon the next day. He sat up, stretched his shoulders, and felt that he had recovered a lot.

He went downstairs, ate something, checked out of the hotel, and began his journey home.

---

Two days later, in the afternoon, he finally stood at his doorstep.

The gate was open, and two servants were sweeping the courtyard. Upon seeing him return, they quickly put down their work and ran to the main hall to report.

"Young Master is back."

Luo Yun nodded, crossed the courtyard, and entered the main hall.

At the dinner table, Luo Xing looked him up and down, his gaze lingering on his face for a moment before he nodded without asking any further questions.

"You've lost weight," he said. "Eat more."

Lin held his hand and looked him over from left to right. Luo Yun smiled and said it was nothing, he had just walked a lot and would be fine after a couple of days of rest.

Luo Xing asked him how the trip went.

"The harvest was alright." Luo Yun picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and said casually, "I found some ice-attribute medicinal herbs and materials, enough to last for a while."

"Did you encounter any danger?" Luo Xing asked again, his tone casual, but his gaze never left his face.

Luo Yun hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell his parents anything: "No, I was able to handle all the soul beasts I encountered."

Luo Xing stared at him for a few seconds, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions. She simply nodded and said, "It's good that you're back."

After finishing his meal, Luo Yun returned to his room.

He closed the door and took out his loot from the trip one by one from his storage bracelet, placing it on the table.

An egg, a piece of ice marrow, then herbs, finally a few teeth of an unknown soul beast, and some ice silkworm silk.

Luo Yun picked out some of the items that were convenient to take out and put them away, while the inconvenient ones were put back into the bracelet. Finally, he picked up the piece of ice marrow and twirled it in his hand.

The energy of the ice marrow is too pure; absorbing it too quickly can cause problems. He plans to take it slowly, absorbing a little bit each night to allow his body to adapt.

---

That evening, he took out a small piece of ice marrow and held it in his palm.

Luo Yun closed his eyes, using his soul power to envelop the ice marrow, guiding the coolness to circulate within his body.

He opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time.

The ice marrow in my palm was smaller, with a layer of fine cracks on the surface, and its color was lighter.

He flexed his fingers and sensed his martial spirit and soul power.

There should be some changes, but they are not very obvious yet.

"Little by little, it adds up." Luo Yun muttered to himself, withdrawing his martial spirit and carefully storing the remaining ice marrow.

---

The next morning, Luo Yun went to Master Fang's courtyard.

Master Fang is making a soul tool.

Luo Yun sat down opposite him, took out a few herbs and some soul beast materials from his storage bracelet, and placed them on the table.

"I found this in the far north, could you please take a look?"

Master Fang put down his carving knife and picked up a medicinal herb to examine it.

"Ice Spirit Grass." He put down that one and picked up another. "This is Cold Barrier Flower, not bad either. You've had quite a haul."

Master Fang glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions. He examined all the herbs on the table, then picked up the few soul beast teeth and weighed them in his hand.

"These are the teeth of an Ice Fang Tiger." Master Fang's tone carried a hint of surprise. "They're quite old, at least a thousand years old. These are valuable items, excellent materials for making offensive soul tools."

Luo Yun nodded and made a mental note of it.

Master Fang put the things down, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Luo Yun.

"How was this training? Did you encounter any unexpected events?"

Luo Yun was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"I encountered a ten-thousand-year-old Titan Snow Demon that chased me for a long time. My flying soul tool was destroyed, and I hid under the ice for two days before I had a chance to escape."

Master Fang stared at him for several seconds, then slowly exhaled.

"The Titan Snow Demon of Ten Thousand Years... You're really lucky to have come back alive."

Master Fang picked up the materials on the table again, looked them over and over, and then looked up.

"What do you plan to do with this ice silk?"

Luo Yun thought for a moment and said, "I want to make a defensive soul tool, the kind that you wear on your body. Ideally, it should be a close-fitting inner armor, inconspicuous, but with sufficient defensive capabilities."

Master Fang pondered for a moment.

"Ice silkworm silk has excellent toughness, making it suitable for inner armor. However, it's troublesome to process, so I'll have to study it."

"No rush." ​​Luo Yun took out all the ice silkworm silk and placed it on the table. "Keep these for now, and we'll make something with them after we've figured it out."

Master Fang looked at the pile of ice silkworm silk, then at Luo Yun, and nodded.

"OK."

---

When Luo Yun returned home that evening, he closed the door and prepared to continue absorbing the ice marrow.

He took the ice marrow box out of his storage bracelet, opened it—and then his hand stopped.

Not right.

There's a problem with the storage space in the bracelet.

He sensed it carefully and found that the egg was not in good condition. There were many more cracks on the eggshell than when it was in the far north, and several cracks had already penetrated the shell.

Luo Yun frowned and took the egg out of his storage bracelet.

As soon as the egg was exposed to air, the cracks began to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The eggshell at the top eventually peeled away piece by piece, revealing a pale blue membrane inside. The membrane was so thin that you could see liquid sloshing around inside.

"No way..."

Before Luo Yun could react, the membrane ruptured.

The egg liquid flowed out quickly through the cracks in the shell. Luo Yun frantically tried to put the egg back into his storage bracelet, but it had already spilled out, dripping down his fingers onto the table and then running down the edge.

"grass--"

He hurriedly reached for the paper, but as he turned around, his arm accidentally bumped into the ice marrow box on the table.

The box was overturned.

The ice marrow rolled out of the box and fell to the ground.

Then, the incredible happened.

The ice marrow begins to absorb the egg liquid.

Luo Yun turned around and saw the egg liquid being absorbed on the ground. He didn't even notice the paper in his hand falling to the ground.

The egg mixture is still running.

The eggshell was mostly broken, and the egg liquid had pooled on the ground. The ice marrow lay in the middle of that pool of liquid, quietly absorbing it.

Luo Yun stood there, stunned.

He has a lot of questions on his mind.

Why does the ice marrow actively absorb the egg liquid? What happens after it's absorbed?

he does not know.

But he knew that what had happened was already done, and he couldn't stop it.

The eggshell finally stopped cracking. The last drop of egg liquid dripped from the remaining shell, falling into the small puddle on the ground, where it was then absorbed cleanly by the ice marrow.

The ice marrow lay quietly on the ground, its surface glowing even brighter than before.

Luo Yun reached out and picked up the ice marrow.

The feeling upon handling it has changed. The temperature of the ice marrow is cooler than before, and there's an extra sense of pressure.

He stared at the ice marrow for a long time, then put it back in the box.

Eggshell fragments were still scattered on the ground, the pale blue membrane already shriveled, like a piece of discarded paper. He gathered the fragments together, thought for a moment, and instead of throwing them away, put them into his storage bracelet.

Then he sat on the bed, staring at the box, and remained silent for a long time.

"What's the big deal..." he said in a low voice.
