The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

In fact, although the price of ordinary soul bones is high, it is rare for them to exceed three million gold soul coins.

This right leg bone, the source of lightning, is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, yet it's priced at ten million gold soul coins precisely because of its exceptional quality. The Thunder Beast's status among soul beasts is essentially equivalent to top-tier soul beasts like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear; the difference lies in their respective strengths.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's greatest strength lies in the attack power of its Dark Gold Terrorclaws and its own abnormal defensive capabilities, making it a creature that excels in both offense and defense.

However, the Thunder Beast focuses on terrifying explosive power and speed.

Furthermore, its lightning-attribute abilities have virtually no natural enemies, meaning there are almost no attributes that can directly counter it. The power of lightning is immense, and aside from the significant energy consumption, it is overwhelmingly powerful.

If a Thunder Beast's cultivation could break through 100,000 years, it would definitely be a beast king-level existence.

The soul bone that Wu Ming obtained from the 45,000-year-old Earth King in the Star Dou Great Forest some time ago was already of quite good quality, but it was still much inferior to the right leg bone of the Lightning Source in front of him.

Soul rings place more emphasis on their age, while soul bones place more emphasis on their quality. This is the reason why.

Ning Tian, ​​who had been subtly keeping his gaze on Xu Zihuang, noticed the change in Xu Zihuang's expression. He was initially puzzled, but then seemed to suddenly realize something. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a burning light appeared in the depths of his light blue eyes.

A lightning-attribute soul bone? Could it be...?

From the moment she decided to identify with Xu Zihuang, she used her family's resources to investigate Xu Zihuang's background.

Although the information she received wasn't as detailed as that of Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, one thing was certain: Yu Tianhuang was indeed from the lineage of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's leader. He was also a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family from ten thousand years ago.

She had been stuck in a mental rut: why did she assume that Yu Tianhuang only had one martial soul?

A first soul skill at the thousand-year level is something probably only geniuses with twin martial souls can achieve. Compared to ordinary soul masters, those with twin martial souls have two huge advantages. One is that they can cultivate one martial soul to a certain level first, and then go back to add a higher-age soul ring to the other. The other advantage is that in the early stages, the physical attributes of a soul master with twin martial souls are far superior to those of ordinary soul masters due to the amplification from both martial souls.

"Tianhuang, are you very interested in this soul bone?" Ning Tian asked softly, but her bright eyes were reflected in Xu Zihuang's noble and deep purple eyes.

Xu Zihuang regained his composure and shook his head with a smile.

"I'm just a little surprised. Our academy truly lives up to its reputation as the number one academy on the continent; it even has soul bones produced by soul beasts of the Thunder Beast level."

Ning Tian smiled and nodded, but her suspicions only grew stronger. She had clearly seen a hint of interest in Xu Zihuang's eyes.

But what she didn't know was that what had just happened was a deliberate act by Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang knew from the beginning that the backing of this Treasure Pavilion was the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy. From the moment he entered the Treasure Pavilion, it was very likely that an elder of the Sea God Pavilion was secretly observing him.

Just now, when he noticed the right leg bone of the source of lightning, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm told him that a top expert was watching him from the shadows.

So he naturally then revealed a look of surprise and interest.

After all, the identity he was pretending to have was merely that of the illegitimate son of the eldest son of the Tianlong Sect Master.

Moreover, the right leg bone of the Lightning Source in front of him was far more valuable than the Dread Demon head soul bone that Duveln had given him. It would be a bit unreasonable not to show that he was interested.

Ning Tianqiao's elegant smile deepened as she took out a crimson-gold card from the exquisite starlight sapphire storage ring on her right index finger.

Unlike other cards that symbolize the face value of Gold Soul Coins, this crimson gold card features a magnificent nine-tiered, colorful pagoda made of nine different rare metals that are clearly valuable.

“Tianhuang, I can tell that the right leg bone of the Lightning Source is a top-grade soul bone, second only to a 100,000-year soul bone.” Ning Tian said sincerely as he stuffed the card in his hand into Xu Zihuang’s hand.

"If it suits you, don't miss it."

Of course, it's not that the crimson-gold card Ning Tian gave him was worth ten million gold soul coins, but rather that the nine-tiered, nine-colored pagoda on the back of the card symbolized the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This crimson-gold card is a symbol of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's reputation. It can be used as collateral, and members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will come to redeem it in person later.

In reality, this crimson-gold card has no limit on its value. Only Ning Tian, ​​the sole heir to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, is qualified to possess it.

Xu Zihuang paused, holding the crimson-gold card in his hand, his index finger lightly tracing the nine-treasure glazed pagoda pattern that reflected dazzling light. He exchanged a glance with Ning Tian, ​​deliberately showing a hint of hesitation in his eyes again, before politely declining.

"Let's see. If you need anything, I won't hesitate to ask."

In this way, he can both conclude his performance and better establish his image as a person with a strong will and who is not swayed by temptation.

From Ning Tian's perspective, he was tacitly assuming that he could absorb that lightning-attribute soul bone.

Xu Zihuang knew that given Ning Tian's status and their close contact, even if Ning Tian didn't investigate his background, the people of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't remain idle. His previous statement, combined with the hint of hesitation in his eyes, gave Ning Tian ample room for speculation.

Sure enough, when he returned the crimson-gold card to Ning Tian and their soft, fair hands inadvertently touched, he could clearly feel Ning Tian's entire right hand trembling.

He was clearly very unsettled.

"Tianhuang, I'm truly impressed by you this time. Do you even know what that crimson-gold card in Ning Xuemei's hand symbolizes? You weren't tempted by the offer of being kept by such a top-tier rich girl. You truly are the man I admire." A deep, slightly smug voice came from not far away.

Xu Zihuang looked up helplessly, and he already knew who it was without even looking.

Isn't that Xu Sanshi, the Xuanming Turtle Soul Master? Beside him is the gentle and refined Bei Bei.

Xu Sanshi had one hand on Bei Bei's shoulder and grinned at Xu Zihuang. He was indeed handsome, but every time he smiled, he gave off a frivolous and somewhat irritating vibe.

Xu Zihuang led Ning Tian forward a few steps and greeted them with a smile.

"Senior Brother Bei, Senior Brother Xu."

Ning Tian nodded politely to Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. However, her expression was somewhat unnatural.

Although she had indeed decided in her heart that she liked Yu Tianhuang and had a strong liking for him, she still felt a little shy when Xu Sanshi said it so bluntly and somewhat teasingly.

Xu Sanshi familiarly put his arm around Xu Zihuang's neck, his expression unusually serious.

"By the way, Tianhuang. I heard that you killed a ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider during your second-year advancement exam. You're really hiding your true strength."

Upon hearing this, even Bei Bei's gentle smile faded slightly, and she gave Xu Zihuang a deep look.

He wasn't surprised that Yu Tianhuang had distinguished himself in just one year. However, the fact that Xu Zihuang could kill a ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider head-on meant that his personal strength was definitely superior to his.

During the freshman assessment, he had told Tang Ya that he was probably no match for Yu Tianhuang. But that was without considering using his trump cards. Now, he estimated that even if he used the power hidden in his bloodline, he might not be able to defeat Yu Tianhuang.

Xu Zihuang chuckled and gave an ambiguous response.

"Actually, it was because the venue was limited that I had some advantages. Also, with Dean Yan and Elder Gong in charge, I was able to act freely."

Xu Sanshi didn't dwell on this issue any further. Compared to these things, he was more concerned with how to win Jiang Nannan back.

Seeing Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​who looked and had a very compatible temperament and got along very naturally and intimately, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at another booth in the distance.

Follow his gaze.

Just then, we could see Jiang Nannan wearing her sixth-grade black school uniform. Her graceful figure was even more captivating under the outline of the black uniform.

Xu Sanshi, having withdrawn his gaze, looked at Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian with a pained yet earnest expression.

"Tianhuang, Ning, it would be perfect if you two could help me figure out how to get Nannan to accept me."

Before Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian could speak, Bei Bei rolled her eyes and sighed softly.

"Although you're a lazy bum, I have to admit you're incredibly devoted to love. You even repeated a year for Jiang Nannan. If it weren't for your status as a core disciple, you probably would have been expelled from the academy."

Xu Sanshi wore a bitter expression.

"What can I do? She's my first love. I'd do anything for her."

Hearing Xu Sanshi's words, Ning Tiandu felt touched and envious, and subconsciously glanced at Xu Zihuang beside him.

Xu Zihuang was simply speechless.

It can only be said that even sycophants have different levels. Xu Sanshi naturally belongs to the most humble type.

Seeing that Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian remained silent, Xu Sanshi put his last hope on Bei Bei.

"Beibei, you're my brother, teach your brother a few tricks. I've tried everything, but she won't give me even the slightest chance."

Beibei also asked curiously, "I'm also very curious. In terms of appearance, strength, and talent, you're quite good among the students. It wouldn't be easy for Jiang Nannan to find someone stronger than you. Of course, Tianhuang and I are exceptions. But why won't she even talk to you? Judging from your appearance, you should have known each other before you enrolled. It's been several years and it's still like this. Did you do something to her in the past?"

"Uh..." Xu Sanshi suddenly looked embarrassed, his face flushed slightly. "I can't say, I can't say. I'll go take a walk first." After saying that, he immediately turned around and slipped away.

Beibei shook his head helplessly. He had always been very curious about what had happened between Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan.

"Tianhuang, Ning, you two keep watch for a bit, I'm going to take a look around too." With that, he left.

Watching Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei's figures disappear, Ning Tian asked in confusion, "Tianhuang, do you think Senior Xu did anything to wrong Senior Jiang?"

"Perhaps it's because Senior Brother Xu doesn't follow the usual path," Xu Zihuang replied casually, and then started walking.

"Let's check out the other booths too."

"Taking an unconventional route?" Ning Tian was a little confused, but she didn't think too much about it and silently followed behind Xu Zihuang.

As Xu Zihuang walked, the lazy voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm once again echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Zihuang, that piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue is inside the third platform on the left. Moreover, the demonic whale that produced that ten-thousand-year whale glue must have been at least thirty thousand years old. After refining and consuming it, it won't be long before the seal on your fourth soul ring is completely broken. Alright, you and that little girl can stroll around slowly by yourself. I'm going to sleep now."

Following the guidance of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Xu Zihuang quickly arrived at the third booth on the left side of the hall.

On the display stand was a black crystal. It was dull and uneven, and compared to the right leg bone that was the source of the lightning, it was like heaven and earth.

The description is also provided above. "Millennial Whale Glue. Whale glue is a special substance produced in the brain of whale-type soul beasts. It has excellent nourishing effects on soul masters, strengthening the body and enhancing the resilience of muscles, bones, and meridians. This piece of whale glue was acquired by our organization; the seller said it came from a millennial demon whale. However, generally speaking, the whale glue of a millennial demon whale should be crystal yellow and extremely expensive. Such a large piece of whale glue is enough to bring about a complete transformation in a soul master's body. Unfortunately, this piece of whale glue is black. Based on our organization's judgment, it has weathered over a certain period of time and has slightly deteriorated, but it is still usable. Only the quality will be somewhat lower."

The price of Millennium Whale Glue is not high, only six thousand gold soul coins.

Xu Zihuang looked it over for a while and then bought it directly.

Ten-thousand-year-old whale glue is extremely rare in human history.

From childhood to adulthood, he had only ever consumed two complete pieces of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. Those two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue were obtained from hunting two ten-thousand-year-old demonic orcas.

Ning Tian was also a little puzzled as to why Xu Zihuang would buy this piece of thousand-year-old whale glue, which didn't look like it was of very good quality. Xu Zihuang, however, frankly told Ning Tian that it was a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

After buying the ancient whale glue, Xu Zihuang was not in a hurry to leave. He and Ning Tian continued to stroll around the Treasure Pavilion, hoping to find other exhibits that would interest them.

Jubaoge is located at the western end of the exhibition hall, more than a hundred meters away. Beneath the long counter is a light trough shimmering with a crystal-yellow glow. Soft light flows out from below, not dazzling but full of texture.

An elderly woman with white hair and a youthful face slowly emerged from behind the counter, and all the staff inside bowed respectfully upon seeing her.

She is Lin Huiqun, a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion whose cultivation and seniority are second only to Elder Mu and Elder Xuan.

He is also the owner of the Jubao Pavilion here.

The Treasure Pavilion is an asset of Shrek Academy, but it is not affiliated with the academy. Instead, it is only subject to the control of the Sea God Pavilion Council. Apart from that, only she can normally control everything in the Treasure Pavilion.

Yu Tianhuang had triggered the Sea God Pavilion meeting a long time ago.

It was because she learned of Yu Tianhuang's true talent from that Sea God Pavilion meeting that she deliberately displayed the right leg bone of the source of lightning at this treasure appreciation event exclusively for the core disciples of the outer academy.

It's quite normal for a student capable of influencing a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to receive top-tier treatment from the Treasure Pavilion. On the surface, the academy won't make any statement, but they certainly hope Yu Tianhuang can grow rapidly and be used by the academy. Shrek Academy will never hesitate to invest in talent of this caliber.

What Lin Huiqun didn't expect was that Yu Tianhuang's temperament and character far exceeded her expectations; he didn't seem like a boy who was only twelve years old at all.

To be able to suppress one's greed in the face of such a top-quality soul bone—this kind of mentality is what allows one to go further in the future. Moreover, Yu Tianhuang himself possesses the most outstanding talent.

Watching Xu Zihuang's figure from afar, Lin Huiqun couldn't help but smile.

"He's really an amazing little guy."

The treasure viewing event at the Treasure Pavilion would continue until midnight. However, Xu Zihuang certainly wouldn't stay that long. After briefly browsing through all the exhibits and finding nothing else of interest, he and Ning Tian prepared to return to Shrek Academy.
