Douluo Continent: Becoming a God of Magic Starting with Your Martial Soul

Now that he no longer has a storage soul tool, Lu Yi is not in a hurry to buy one.

He had no idea how much whale glue cost, and it would be awkward if he spent the money and then didn't have enough.

After searching for a while, Lu Yi couldn't find any whale glue for sale in this area, so he asked the sales assistant, "Do you have whale glue here?"

"Of course we have it." The sales assistant maintained a friendly smile and did not react in any particular way after hearing about whale glue.

Although she wasn't a Soul Master herself, she possessed professional knowledge and naturally understood the effects of whale glue on Soul Masters. So she turned to the side and, with impeccable manners, guided them, saying, "Honorable guest, please follow me!"

Lu Yi followed the sales assistant to another room, which was much brighter and more spacious than the previous room, which was as densely packed with goods as a general store.

All the goods were separated by custom-made glass cabinets, displayed like exhibits in a museum. Without any introduction, Lu Yi could tell that the items here must be very valuable.

"I just started to make some money, and it looks like it's about to slip away!"

Lu Yi muttered to himself, but then he saw that the sales assistant had already stopped.

Lu Yi looked in the direction she pointed and saw several crystal blocks of varying sizes, all of them a bright orange color, displayed in a cabinet.

"Dear guest, this is whale glue." After saying this, the sales assistant took a step back very tactfully, giving Lu Yi some space.

No further introduction is needed; each item in the display case has a detailed description, clearly stating its name, attributes, price, and origin.

Lu Yi looked at the pieces of whale glue of different sizes.

"High-quality millennium whale glue, 7.6 taels, 38,000 gold soul coins, produced by a 3,000-year-old sea-swallowing whale."

"Medium-quality Thousand-Year Whale Glue...produced from a 2,000-year-old dragon-whiskered whale."

The price of Millennium Whale Glue generally follows the range of five thousand gold soul coins per tael. There are slight differences between different types of whale soul beasts, but the differences are not significant.

This Treasure Pavilion is truly wealthy and powerful; they have so much whale glue, which is now scarce. Lu Yi looked at several, and they were all of very high quality and very expensive.

Until Lu Yi saw a much more conspicuous display case, because the items on the counter were not for sale.

"Top-grade millennium whale glue, one pound and two and a half qian, produced from an eight-thousand-year-old demonic killer whale."

Clearly, this whale glue was just for show, to demonstrate the strength of Jubaoge, not for sale.

Lu Yi only glanced at it, and to be honest, apart from being a little bigger than the previous whale glue, he didn't see anything special about it.

Of course, he knew that was beyond his comprehension until he reached the farthest corner, where an inconspicuous counter caught his attention.

"Ordinary millennium whale glue, 1.2 jin, 12,000 gold soul coins, source of soul beast unknown, age unknown. Note: The quality of this whale glue has slightly decreased, and it is a discounted item. Our store has fulfilled its obligation to inform you. Once sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged."

Upon seeing the dark, unremarkable object in the counter, Lu Yi's heart suddenly began to pound wildly, and his breathing became rapid.

He didn't know how to judge the quality of whale glue, but this description, and the shape of this piece of whale glue, were helpful.

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was the very piece of ancient whale glue that Huo Yuhao had managed to snag.

Aside from the fact that the price was much higher than when Huo Yuhao bought it, it seemed reasonable upon closer inspection.

If goods don't sell for a long time, their prices will naturally keep decreasing. Since he arrived so early, it's normal for his prices to be a bit higher.

Turning back, Lu Yi gestured to the sales assistant and said, "I'll take this one."

The sales assistant also noticed the shape of the whale gel. Considering Lu Yi possessed a staggering 50,000 yuan, and for the sake of the customer's experience and her own sales performance, she subconsciously reminded him:

"Won't you reconsider? This whale glue is cheap, but the quality is questionable. Our store has quite a few of good quality ones at very reasonable prices."

"No need, this one is fine! I still need my money," Lu Yi said decisively, but he tried his best to keep his expression unchanged in order not to arouse suspicion.

Seeing that Lu Yi insisted, the sales assistant did not insist any further, opened the display case and wrapped up the whale glue.

Upon arriving at the counter, Lu Yi swiped his card, and the sales assistant smiled and handed him the whale gel, finally putting Lu Yi's mind at ease.

What a steal!

Not only that, the sales assistant also thoughtfully gave Lu Yi a small device specifically for melting whale glue.

The equipment wasn't worth much, maybe a few gold soul coins at most, but Lu Yi was very satisfied.

He immediately placed another order, acquiring a storage ring, enough medicinal bath materials for three months, and a considerable amount of various plasters for treating sprains and bruises.

All these items added up to less than three thousand gold soul coins, and Lu Yi experienced the feeling of spending money without batting an eye.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Lu Yi's storage ring was already nearly half full, containing all of his gains for the day.

He still had 35,000 gold soul coins in his card, which gave him peace of mind. He then bought a small bathtub big enough for him to sit in and returned to the academy.

He first went to the cafeteria and ordered a meal from the high-end restaurant that he had previously been reluctant to eat. After eating and drinking his fill, he returned to his dormitory.

As evening approached, Lu Yi noticed that his roommate Zhou Sichen had disappeared, but on his way back to the dormitory, he saw Huo Yuhao jogging slowly around the academy wearing heavy iron armor.

That's really hard work! Good job!

Then I need to start working hard too.

Lu Yi poured in a bucket of hot water, added the ingredients needed for the medicinal bath, mixed them thoroughly, and then sat down in it.

Take out the dark whale glue and the heater, and Lu Yi saw off about an ounce or so, then put it into the heater to melt it.

The heating time for this piece of whale glue was unusually long. By the time a strange aroma began to gurgle from the sealed container, the water in the bathtub had already cooled down.

Lu Yi carefully opened the sealed container, and the fragrance became even stronger, quickly filling the entire dormitory with a refreshing aroma.

Lu Yi felt his cheeks burning and a little dizzy just from smelling it.

Looking into the container, the originally black, blocky crystals now appear as a dark golden gel-like substance.

Seeing this, Lu Yi felt relieved and concluded that this piece of whale glue was indeed the one Huo Yuhao had gotten by chance, and not a genuine inferior product.

Lu Yi took out a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of the scalding hot, sticky whale glue, blew on it to cool it down slightly, and then ate it.

"Hiss~ Whoosh~"

It was still a bit hot when I put it in my mouth, but how could I possibly spit out something this good?

Enduring the pain on his tongue, Lu Yi waited a moment before swallowing it.

As if a warm current flowed down his esophagus, Lu Yi didn't have time to think and hurriedly ate every last drop of the remaining whale glue.

And within just a few minutes, the effects of the whale gel began to take hold.

First, his mind began to become hazy, and then his skin all over his body turned like a boiled shrimp.

Holy crap!

Lu Yi swore.

He was sitting in the cool water of the bathtub, but it did nothing to relieve the heat in his body.

This thing... is sooooo awesome!

Lu Yi felt as if parts of his body had been petrified, as hard as stone.

Just then, the dormitory door was pushed open, and Zhou Sichen stepped in.

The lingering fragrance in the air entered his nostrils, and his mind was unconsciously stirred by the aroma.

Upon seeing Lu Yi, who was glowing red and delirious, in the bathtub, Zhou Sichen immediately stopped in his tracks.

Now he feels that this dormitory is the most dangerous place.

I can't stay in this dorm tonight.

Without thinking, he slowly stepped back and closed the door again.

"Goodbye!"
