The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 189 Red Whale Skeleton

Looking at the black text in front of him, Lin Ye silently said "No".

Standing on the edge of the cliff, he looked down at his feet, where a blanket of white snow obscured the view below.

"Buzz~ Buzz~"

His phone vibrated, and he took it out to check the name: Senior Brother.

"Senior brother, how is it?"

"It's all been arranged. They're willing to sell you a red whale fossil. Professor Guderian will pick you up when you arrive."

"What about the red whale carcass that was dug out of the ice?"

"They've already dissected it; only a piece of the heart remains, but the skeleton is well-preserved."

"Could you ask if the red whale skeleton is for sale? If it is, then I don't need the fossil."

"Okay, I'll ask again."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ye relaxed and felt the heavy snow falling.

"The Lunar New Year is almost here."

He muttered to himself, "My mother said we'd go to my maternal grandfather's place for Chinese New Year this year. Counting the time, it'll be about two months."

Tieqin, Jiang family, Jiang...

He gasped, his mother's name was Jiang Weilan, and his sister's surname was also Jiang. Could it be...?

After a moment of silence, his eyes held a strange look. Could it really be such a coincidence?

Tieqin City is so big, there must be more than one family with the surname Jiang, right?

He shook his head. It wasn't important. He'd ask Jiang Jie about it once she had the antiques prepared at Tieqin's place.

For no apparent reason, he recalled the story of the Dragon King's return that he had seen in his previous life and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At Coast City Airport, Lin Ye changed into a white tracksuit and boarded the plane.

"With the roar of the airplane engine, the scenery outside the window began to rush past, and the field of vision gradually rose."

"sweep"

After a series of rolling sounds, a familiar figure appeared opposite Lin Ye.

"Oh my gosh~~ Lin! Surprised? Unexpected?"

Guderian gave Lin Ye a standard wink, and then, just like last time, pulled open the table, took out the tea cake that he hadn't finished last time, and brewed some.

Lin Ye smiled helplessly and looked at Grace on the other side.

"Grace, it's been a long time."

Grace pushed up her glasses somewhat awkwardly, with a hint of apology in her expression.

"I'm sorry, Lin, the professor insisted on coming to pick you up."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "I'm very happy that the professor came to pick me up."

Guderian blew on the black tea and poured a cup for Lin Ye.

"Oh, dear Lin, you can't just focus on chatting with beautiful Grace and neglect your old friend!"

"However, the city of Norsen we're going to this time is colder than the Cold Palace. Did you bring any warm clothes?"

Lin Ye picked up his black tea and took a sip. "I'm in good health."

"Tsk tsk tsk~~~"

Guderian sipped his black tea, shaking his head repeatedly, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"That's not right, Grace~~ After we get off the plane, give Lin one of my trench coats, the one I've been reluctant to wear, the black one."

"Oh, right, also prepare a new set of dress trousers lining and dress shoes. Sports clothes and trench coats don't go well together!"

Grace nodded. "Yes, Professor."

Then she looked at Lin Ye and asked, "Lin, what are your hobbies?"

Lin Ye put down his teacup and smiled. "Whatever, I'm fine with anything."

Grace nodded and wrote it down in her journal.

Lin Ye looked out the window, just as he passed through the clouds, and then he looked at Guderian.

"Professor, how's the discussion about the red whale skeleton going?"

If the price is too high, you'll have to negotiate in person.

"Oh, Lin, what are you talking about? Has an unexpected expedition made you so distrustful of my abilities?"

Guderian clutched his chest in anguish.

Grace, who was standing nearby, spoke up at the opportune moment, "The professor has some wealth in Sidlow."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "Professor, you're too kind. As for the cost, I'll have the Crimson Whale Sect attack it when we get back. It's already very kind of you, Professor, to accompany me."

"Fourteen million Sikkimese coins, which is approximately 140 million Liyan coins?"

Before Lin Ye could finish speaking, Guderian announced the price, holding his teacup and staring intently at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye's smile froze, and he chuckled dryly a few times. "Sorry, Professor, I was speaking too loudly just now."

"Thank you very much, Professor. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."

Amounts in the hundreds of millions are still somewhat...

Guderian tilted his head back and pouted.

"Why are you being so polite? You saved Grace and my lives last time! Our lives are worth far more than a red whale skeleton!"

Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw the professor's expression. "The professor is right."

Grace, who was standing to the side, felt a little relieved. She was afraid that Lin Ye would dislike the professor's personality.

Unlike Ria, Xilu is teeming with extraordinary beings.

In Xilu, the extraordinary beings usually do not come into contact with those outside the extraordinary realm.

On a regular basis, the only people he could come into contact with were priests from churches in various places and knights who inherited the knight's breathing technique.

However, in terms of sheer numbers, many people may never have the chance to meet a superhuman in their lifetime.

They merely saw each other; it wasn't a real exchange, let alone contact with the extraordinary.

Only those with considerable wealth, or those who have had contact with extraordinary individuals outside of Xilu, would know that extraordinary individuals exist within Xilu.

Lin's value was far greater than he himself realized.

On the other side, Lin Ye looked at Guderian.

"Professor, if we don't get a complete red whale carcass for our trip to Norsen, I'd like to go to the Arctic ice fields. Could you arrange that?"

The three great chain-shaped secret weapons are only missing the final Whale Heart Refinement.

Since we'll have to find the red whale's body sooner or later anyway, we might as well do it all at once this time.

As for the red whale skeleton that the professor bought, he decided not to return it, in case he couldn't find the red whale's body.

If he can find a red whale carcass in the Arctic ice, he can give the whole carcass, except for the heart, to the professor.

"Oh~ Lin~"

Guderian groaned upon hearing Lin Ye's words. "What terrible timing! Why did it have to be now?"

Lin Ye looked puzzled. "At this time?"

Grace, who was standing nearby, explained, "Lin, the professor has to go back to his family after he takes you there, so he can't go on the expedition with you..."

Guderian sighed dejectedly. "Alright, Lin, I'll make arrangements after we get off the plane. It's such a shame."

Lin Ye looked at Guderian's furrowed brow and couldn't help but laugh. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Professor."

The sun set through the clouds three times, and just as it was about to set for the fourth time, the plane broke through the clouds first.

After getting off the plane, Grace rented a car at the airport, and the three of them headed straight for their destination, the Five Hundred Museum.

Before long, the three arrived at a luxurious museum near the city center, which was over fifty meters high.

It's not a concrete building, but rather has walls made of brown tempered glass, allowing a clear view of the ancient fossils displayed inside from the outside.

After getting off the bus, it was already close to 9 p.m. local time, and the museum was already closed.

Guderian took out his phone and dialed a number. Lin Ye looked up at the interior of the museum, his gaze quickly locking onto an object.

The giant whale skeleton, over 200 meters long, has a completely different texture from the surrounding fossil skeletons.

It was real bone, even pale in color, and some pores were visible.
