Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 78 The Strange Red Jade

"This is..." Li Fei was filled with shock. His eagle eyes could see an egg-sized sphere inside a piece of crimson jade. The sphere was the exact same color as the crystal, and his eagle eyes could not penetrate it.

Li Fei's method of appraising treasures is very simple: he relies on his keen eyesight to see through things. The rarer and stronger the metal, the greater its density and energy, making it extremely difficult to see through. This is how he identifies rare materials.

But now there was a sphere that ignored his sharp eyes, which surprised him and piqued his interest.

As Li Fei slowly approached the crystal section, he carefully examined the red jade. It was very beautiful. He glanced at the price and was shocked to find it cost a staggering one million gold soul coins!

"Hello, please pick up this red jade for me!" Despite increasing his soul power output, Li Fei's Fiery Eyes still couldn't see through the sphere inside the crystal. He was certain it was a treasure and looked up at the shop assistant.

"Sir, are you sure you want this jade?" the shop assistant asked incredulously. Even the best jade only costs a few thousand gold soul coins, and even if it's processed into a bracelet, it'll only cost tens of thousands. This piece of jade was acquired by his boss, who originally wanted it processed, but couldn't cut it no matter what method he used, so he knew it was a treasure.

Finally, having no other option, they put it up for sale. The initial price was over 100 million, but no one bought it. They had to lower the price, and it was lowered more than ten times before it reached its current price.

"Okay, please wrap it up for me!" Li Fei took out a black Soul Coin card and handed it to the shop assistant, nodding.

"Okay, I'll swipe your card right away!" The clerk quickly took out the card reader to swipe the card, afraid that Li Fei would regret it. In less than two seconds, the card was successfully swiped and the card and jade were handed to Li Fei.

"Now all the money Mom gave me is gone!"

After tossing the jade and black card into his storage bracelet, Li Fei felt a pang of regret; that million was his last bit of money.

After leaving the general store, Li Fei looked at other general stores, but none of them had anything as surprising as the red jade. With a sigh, Li Fei turned towards the business street and entered a hotel called Youjian.

This is the luxury hotel owned by Li Fei's parents, currently considered one of the best hotels in the entire Wuhun City, with an astonishing daily revenue.

"Fei'er!"

Jiang Xin, who was bored while leaning against the front desk, was overjoyed when she saw the person who came. She rushed over, hugged Li Fei, and cheered.

"Mom, I'm back!" Li Fei said with a big smile.

"I was wondering before, with your strength, Fei'er, would you come back to participate in this Soul Master Competition?!" Jiang Xin released Li Fei and laughed.

"Mom, is there a quiet place? This isn't a suitable place to talk!" Li Fei frowned slightly as he noticed the shop assistant looking at him curiously.

"Yes, let's go to Mom's office!" Jiang Xin then remembered that Li Fei was still an undercover agent, so she pulled Li Fei to a room next to the front desk on the first floor. The room was very simple, with just a table and a sofa.

"Mom! I'll get straight to the point, we can't stay here any longer!" Li Fei took out three immortal herbs and a piece of paper from his magic pouch, placed them on Jiang Xin's table, and said, "This is Narcissus Jade Bone, Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma, and Snow Silkworm. These are rare immortal treasures, prepared for you, Dad, and Xiao Fan. The instructions for taking them are on the paper. They can increase your potential, giving you and Dad a chance to reach the Title Douluo level!"

It has been ten years since Li Fei awakened his martial soul. Jiang Xin's cultivation has reached the Soul Master level, and Li Ming's cultivation has even reached the Soul Emperor level. However, their potential has reached its limit. Without a stroke of luck, it will be very difficult for them to advance further.

"And what about you?! Fei'er!" Jiang Xin glanced at the fairy herb on the table and asked hesitantly.

"Mom, I've definitely taken it! You don't need to worry about me!" Li Fei explained with a smile. As he spoke, five spirit rings, one purple and one black, appeared on his body, fully displaying his cultivation level.

"Soul King!" Jiang Xin was shocked.

"Mom, you should take the Narcissus Jade Bone first, and I'll protect you!" Li Fei said with a smile, handing the Narcissus Jade Bone to Jiang Xin.

"good!"

Jiang Xin nodded, picked up the Narcissus Jade Bone, and swallowed it according to Li Fei's instructions, beginning to refine the power of the immortal herb.

Li Fei sat on the sofa next to her and waited. He was not afraid of his identity being exposed, but he would rather not expose it if he could avoid it. So he would leave after Jiang Xin refined the immortal herb.

Two hours later, Jiang Xin slowly opened her eyes. Her soul power had increased from level 42 to level 46. Not only that, her skin became very smooth and tender, like a precious jade. This was the effect of the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone Treatment.

Jiang Xin touched her smooth skin with a look of surprise and disbelief in her eyes. As a woman, who doesn't care about their appearance?

"Mom, I'm leaving now!"

"Can't we stay a little longer?!"

Seeing Li Fei get up, Jiang Xin stopped paying attention to the changes in her appearance and reluctantly stood up.

Li Fei shook his head, turned around, and pushed open the door to leave the hotel.

"None of you dare to spread this word, then you don't need to come back in the future."

After Li Fei left, Jiang Xin came out of the office, looked at the several shop assistants in the lobby, and said in a voice full of murderous intent.

"yes!"

……

After leaving the hotel, Li Fei sensed a familiar soul force around him and walked into the alley next to him.

"Elder Ghost, it's been a long time!"

"Li Fei, you've gotten even more powerful!" A dark figure emerged from the ground, revealing Ghost Douluo, who looked on with admiration before continuing, "His Holiness the Pope wants to see you."

"Um!"

Li Fei nodded and walked to Ghost Douluo's side. Ghost Douluo grabbed Li Fei's shoulder, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared.

In a side hall of the Papal Palace, Li Fei and the Ghost Elder appeared.

"His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you at the very back. Please go in yourself!"

Li Fei nodded and followed the direction the Ghost Elder pointed. Soon he saw a golden door with several angels carved on it, making some kind of inexplicable prayer.

Pushing open the door, Li Fei saw Bibi Dong sitting in a chair, legs crossed, intently flipping through a simply packaged book. With his keen eyesight, Li Fei clearly saw the title: "The Theory of Soul Master Limit Breakthroughs."

Signed - Yu Xiaogang.

"Your subordinate Li Fei greets Your Holiness the Pope!" Li Fei stepped forward respectfully, his brows slightly furrowed and his heart filled with doubt.

"Sit!" Bibi Dong stretched out her hand, gesturing for Li Fei to sit opposite her.
