Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 81 Peerless Immortal Item - Moonstone Diamond!

The two quickly returned to Shrek Academy.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave all of a sudden?" After returning to the academy, Zhu Ziyang slowed down, and Jiang Nannan finally had a chance to ask.

"Because I suspect that the moonstone crystal you bought might not actually be a moonstone crystal!" Zhu Ziyang said something that made Jiang Nannan's face turn pale.

"Ah! No way!" the girl exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with anxiety. "If it's not Moonstone Crystal, then what is it? Have I been tricked? That's 150,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"Nannan!" Zhu Ziyang grasped the girl's delicate hand, calming her down, and said, "Listen to me, you weren't scammed, you might even have gotten a great deal!"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the girl calmed down a bit. Her eyes, already slightly red, looked at Zhu Ziyang, and her pitiful appearance instantly shattered Zhu Ziyang's defenses.

"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you, brother?" Zhu Ziyang smiled gently, reaching out to lightly stroke the girl's smooth, delicate cheek, comforting her.

"Yes!" the girl pouted and said, "You said you'd choose a thousand-year soul ring for me, but you didn't..."

"Uh..." Zhu Ziyang broke out in a cold sweat and said with a wry smile, "Wasn't I just thinking of you? With your physique back then, you simply couldn't withstand a thousand-year soul ring!"

"Hehehe~" Jiang Nannan burst into laughter through her tears as she looked at Zhu Ziyang, who seemed a little embarrassed.

"Well, you little brat, how dare you make fun of me!" Zhu Ziyang shouted angrily as he looked at Jiang Nannan, who was all smiles. He grabbed the girl, pressed her onto his lap, and then raised his hand to slap her.

"Ah~" The girl let out a soft moan as she was hit, and immediately begged for mercy in a sweet voice, "Good brother, please forgive me, I'll never dare to do it again!"

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time!" Zhu Ziyang went along with it and released the girl. In reality, he wouldn't really hit her; he was just putting on a show.

"Brother, you haven't told me about the Moonstone Crystal yet?" After playing around, Jiang Nannan still remembered to ask about the Moonstone Crystal she had bought for 150,000 gold soul coins.

"Let's go back to the dorm first!" Zhu Ziyang didn't answer, but instead grabbed the girl's hand and quickly walked towards the dorm, saying, "I'm not sure yet, I need to verify it!"

"Oh! Okay!" The girl followed Zhu Ziyang.

Zhu Ziyang's dormitory in the foreign language department.

"Look," Zhu Ziyang said to Jiang Nannan, taking out the moonstone crystal, "real moonstone crystal doesn't glow, and it feels cool to the touch. On the other hand, this piece of ore that looks like moonstone crystal not only emits a faint glow, but it also has a slight warmth. Obviously, the person who appraised this ore must not be very skilled, as they couldn't even see such an obvious difference."

"It really is!" Jiang Nannan held up the Moonstone Crystal and examined it carefully according to Zhu Ziyang's instructions. She found that it was indeed as Zhu Ziyang had said, and she immediately exclaimed excitedly.

The girl looked at Zhu Ziyang with excitement and asked, "If it's not Moonstone Crystal, then what could it be, brother?"

Zhu Ziyang looked thoughtful and said, "It's not certain yet; I need your help."

"Okay!" Jiang Nannan nodded without hesitation and said, "Tell me what you want me to do."

"It's very simple, just input soul power into the ore," Zhu Ziyang said.

"Okay! No problem." Jiang Nannan immediately took action, placing her small hand on the ore and then channeling her soul power into it.

As Jiang Nannan's soul power entered the ore, countless cracks immediately appeared on its surface. The next moment, it instantly turned into silver dust. To the astonishment of the two, the dust then turned into specks of light and completely dissipated into the air.

"This..." Jiang Nannan stared in disbelief, her pretty face full of confusion. "What was that just now?"

"It should be solidified moonlight," Zhu Ziyang said, his gaze fixed on the ore in Jiang Nannan's hand, which had changed drastically. An excited expression appeared on his face. "Nannan, you've really hit the jackpot!"

"Huh?" Jiang Nannan was taken aback, somewhat confused by Zhu Ziyang's meaning.

"Guess what this is?" Zhu Ziyang asked excitedly, picking up the ore from the girl's hand, which had changed drastically.

Jiang Nannan looked over and saw that the irregular moonstone crystal, which was originally the size of a goose egg, was now only the size of a pigeon egg. Its surface was smoother, and its pure white color was almost transparent. It also emitted a radiance like the moon. The girl couldn't help but show her infatuation.

"Brother, what is this?" she couldn't help but reach out and touch it, asking.

Zhu Ziyang did not answer immediately, but instead turned off the dormitory lights. Without the lights, the dormitory did not become dark, but instead became as bright as day.

The light came from that ore the size of a pigeon's egg!

"That's it! That's it!" Zhu Ziyang shouted twice, finally able to confirm the identity of this ore with absolute certainty!

"Brother, it's so bright!" Jiang Nannan's eyes were completely drawn to the ore in her hand, and she murmured softly.

"Hahaha! Of course it's lit up!" Zhu Ziyang laughed loudly, turning on the dormitory lights while putting his arm around the girl's waist, excitedly saying, "Nannan, you're really lucky!"

The girl was confused.

"Moonlight Spirit Diamond," Zhu Ziyang explained. "That's the name of this ore."

"Moonstone Diamond?" Jiang Nannan had never heard this name before, and looked puzzled. "Is it related to Moonstone Crystal?"

"No," Zhu Ziyang replied with a smile, "This is a rare and precious treasure! A treasure whose value is comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul bone!"

Zhu Ziyang's words exploded in Jiang Nannan's ears like thunder, leaving the girl momentarily bewildered and at a loss. She murmured blankly, "A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone! A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone..."

"Nannan!" Zhu Ziyang called out to wake her.

"Ah!" The girl woke up with a start, then her two bright eyes sparkled as she stared at the Moonstone Diamond, and said with a silly grin, "It's comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul bone, how many gold soul coins would that be?"

"Sigh! You silly little thing!" Zhu Ziyang sighed and chuckled wryly upon hearing the girl's soft murmur. "This Moon Essence Diamond is a peerless celestial treasure formed from the purest Yin energy in the world, a once-in-a-millennium opportunity! And you, you little money-grubber, are actually thinking about how much it can sell for?!"

"Uh..." Jiang Nannan realized her idea was a bit ridiculous, laughed awkwardly, grabbed Zhu Ziyang's hand, and said coquettishly, "Oh! I just wanted to know its value, I didn't really want to sell it, hehehe!"

"I'm truly impressed!" Zhu Ziyang patted the girl's head affectionately and said, "This is your lucky break! This Moonstone Diamond will definitely allow your martial soul to evolve into a top-tier martial soul, or even a super martial soul!"

"Really?!" The girl's big eyes became even brighter than before, gazing at Zhu Ziyang with watery eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course it's true!" Zhu Ziyang answered decisively. "This Moon Essence Diamond is a top-tier moon-type treasure. All the effort we've put in before was to help your martial soul evolve from an ordinary Soft Bone Rabbit into a more powerful one. Now, with this Moon Essence Diamond, we can save a lot of time and energy!"

"Mmm! Hehe! That would be amazing!" Jiang Nannan finally understood and was overjoyed. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "I can't wait to absorb it!"

"We need to wait a bit!" Zhu Ziyang said, stopping the impatient Jiang Nannan. "This Moon Essence Diamond is a rare and exquisite celestial item, and its use is quite particular. We need to wait until the night of the full moon, in a place where the moonlight can shine directly, to better absorb the Yin energy it contains."

"Ah! Why is this happening!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan immediately showed a disappointed expression, and her excited little face fell down in an instant.

"Don't worry, the full moon is the day after tomorrow, just wait a little longer! Be good!" Zhu Ziyang comforted her with a smile.
