Ultimately, this 50,000-year-old whale glue was bought by a nobleman for 2,000 gold soul coins.

Then, Selena brought out a second auction item, and several more, all of which were only for collection purposes. Ling Yun almost fell asleep just looking at them.

It wasn't until the tenth item appeared that Ling Yun's eyes widened in surprise.

"This tenth item is quite special; it's a book called 'Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs,' which records various legendary immortal herbs."

It may be of little use to most people, but for some flower and plant lovers, it is a masterpiece.

The starting bid is 200 Gold Soul Coins. Bidding begins now.

"I'll offer three hundred gold soul coins!"

Ling Yun shouted immediately, this was his first time bidding, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

The Immortal Herb Compendium records various immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. As far as he knew, only Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Broken Clan possessed this book.

Ling Yun was originally worried about how to obtain the Immortal Herb Compendium, since he didn't recognize the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

I never expected that what I was looking for would come so easily; I never imagined that there would be a book of immortal herbs at today's auction.

That makes sense. As a book, how could it be that only Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Broken Clan possess it? Other nobles must also have this book, "Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs."

Seeing that Ling Yun's first move was to buy a book, Huo Wu was puzzled, but she didn't say anything.

"This guest is offering three hundred gold soul coins. Is anyone else bidding?"

"I'll offer 320 gold soul coins."

"I'll offer three hundred..."

There weren't many bidders, since not many nobles were interested in flowers and plants. In the end, the Immortal Herb Compendium fell into Ling Yun's hands for four hundred gold soul coins.

"I didn't realize, little brother Lingyun," Huowu said with a charming smile. "I never expected you to be interested in flowers and plants."

"Hehe, I'm not really interested in flowers and plants, but fairy herbs are a different story."

Holding the illustrated guide to immortal herbs, Ling Yun began to read it with great interest.

Chapter 25 reminds Feng Xiaotian of the arrival of Tianshui Academy.

[PS: This book is first published on QQ Reading, with 50,000 words available at launch. We appreciate your understanding and thank you all for your support!]

Meanwhile, the auction continued, but the items that followed were of little use to Ling Yun and the others.

After some time, Selena finally produced something that piqued their interest: a ring set with a multicolored diamond.

The moment the diamond ring appeared, the surrounding space trembled slightly. Without a doubt, it was a soul tool!

At the same time, Selena introduced, "Everyone, please look, this is a soul tool called the Five-Colored Radiant Ring. It has a storage space of twenty cubic meters, and its shape is exquisite and its craftsmanship is beautiful."

Whether used for storage or simply for collection, this is a rare work of art. The starting bid is one thousand gold soul coins. Begin the bidding!

“Little brother Lingyun, this ring is nice, it suits you perfectly.”

Before Ling Yun could reply, Huo Wu shouted, "I'll offer 1,500 gold soul coins!"

"I'll offer 1600!"

"Eighteen thousand..."

Following Huo Wu's bid, other Soul Masters also began to bid, but there weren't many bidders, since the storage space of the Five-Colored Radiant Ring was too small.

Spending several thousand gold soul coins for twenty cubic meters of space is clearly not a worthwhile deal.

Ultimately, the five-colored dazzling ring fell into Huo Wu's hands for three thousand gold soul coins, and she then gave it to Ling Yun.

"Ling Yun, take it. From now on, this ring is yours."

"Hehe, thank you, Sister Huowu."

Ling Yun chuckled, then took the colorful, dazzling ring and put it on his hand. He had to admit, the ring was quite beautiful, with its vibrant colors and sparkling appearance.

"Don't mention it, your value is dozens or even hundreds of times that of this ring," Huo Wu said with a smile, then looked at the next item up for auction.

However, the starting prices of the subsequent auction items kept getting higher and higher, so Huo Wu and the others stopped bidding and just watched the excitement.

In particular, the highlight of the auction was a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone with a starting price of two million gold soul coins, which terrified Huo Wu.

Two million gold soul coins? Not to mention her, even her father couldn't come up with that amount.

After the auction ended, everyone left, and Huo Wu rented a carriage to return to Blazing Academy.

As for Feng Xiaotian, he wasn't from Blazing Fire Academy either, so he simply stayed overnight at a hotel in Tiandou City and would return to Divine Wind Academy the next day.

Before returning to Blazing Fire Academy, Ling Yun found Feng Xiaotian and asked in a curious manner, "Senior Feng, I heard from the dean that you and I are both Soul Masters with innate full Soul Power."

But I'm curious, you're already twenty-two years old, why is your soul power only level forty-one?

If you truly were born with full soul power, you would already be at least a five-ring Soul King!

"Hehe, you don't know this, do you?" Feng Xiaotian said carelessly, "I practiced a self-created soul skill called the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf. Its power is terrifying!"

With this move, I easily defeated the python before, even though he was a level 44 Soul Master.

Developing my own soul skills takes a considerable amount of time, so I have to sacrifice some of my cultivation time to practice them.

"But Senior Feng, isn't soul power the foundation of a soul master?"

Ling Yun reminded him, not wanting to see Feng Xiaotian go astray. After all, they had known each other for two years and had a pretty good relationship.

Moreover, the Three Elements Academy is united against a common enemy, and Feng Xiaotian will become stronger, which will also benefit him. Not to mention, with Feng Xiaotian's talent, it is almost a certainty that he will cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun reminded him again: "As long as you improve your cultivation, Senior Feng will naturally become stronger, right?"

Moreover, as far as I know, once a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo level, they can gain a lifespan of three hundred years.

Once Senior Feng becomes a Title Douluo, his understanding of the wind element will deepen. At that time, he will naturally have time to develop more powerful self-created soul skills, so why sacrifice his precious cultivation time?

"If Senior Feng fails to become a Title Douluo, what's the point of you developing your own soul skill?"

"..."

Feng Xiaotian was taken aback. He had never thought about these things before, but now that Ling Yun was talking about them, he felt that they made some sense.

"So, Brother Lingyun, what you mean is..."

"I think Senior Feng should spend all his time cultivating, and then develop his own original soul skills after becoming a Title Douluo."

We are all born with full soul power; let's not waste the talent that heaven has given us.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian nodded slightly and smiled, "I understand. I will devote all my time to cultivation. Brother Lingyun, thank you for reminding me!"

"You're welcome. After all, Senior Feng has always taken good care of me. I'll head back now and won't disturb Senior Feng's rest any longer."

After reminding Feng Xiaotian, Ling Yun found Huo Wu and her brother, and the three of them returned to Blazing Fire Academy together.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In these short three months, Ling Yun spent most of his time cultivating on Fire Cloud Mountain, and as a result, his soul power successfully broke through to level thirty-four.

In addition, Ling Yun kept flipping through the Immortal Herb Encyclopedia, and learned about many immortal herbs and top-grade medicinal herbs. Now he can recite the entire book backwards.

In his spare time, Ling Yun would occasionally go to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to participate in competitions. The young Soul Master and the label of the second ring of a thousand years made him the talk of the town for a time.

Now, three months have passed, and the Soul Master Exchange Tournament between the Three Elemental Academies has arrived as scheduled.

This year's exchange competition was held at Blazing Fire Academy, so Ling Yun saw Feng Xiaotian leading the Soul Masters of Divine Wind Academy to Blazing Fire Academy early in the morning. Afterwards, he clung to Huo Wu like a leech, annoying her to no end.

It is worth mentioning that Feng Xiaotian listened to his advice and worked hard in his cultivation during this period. His cultivation level has reached the peak of level 42 and he is about to break through to level 43.

This is the cultivation speed that should be expected for someone with innate full soul power!

Upon seeing Ling Yun, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but express his gratitude: "Brother Ling Yun, thank you for reminding me. My cultivation level has now reached level forty-two."

"Hehe, congratulations, Senior Feng." Ling Yun chuckled.

At the same time, the sound of a galloping carriage rang out, followed by the laughter of beautiful women.

Following the sound, the two saw several carriages slowly approaching, from which a group of young, beautiful, fair-skinned, and long-legged female soul masters stepped out.

"People from Tianshui Academy have arrived."

Feng Xiaotian said calmly, "Although all the female Soul Masters at Tianshui Academy are very beautiful, in my heart, Huo Wu will always be the most beautiful."

Ling Yun, however, looked at the captain of Tianshui Academy, a girl with long, light blue hair, regular features, and fair skin. She seemed to be only a few years older than him.

She was very tall and slender, a graceful young woman, with an ice-blue long dress that enveloped her beautiful figure.

Upon seeing the young woman, Ling Yun couldn't help but think: "This must be Shui Bing'er, right? She's quite pretty; no wonder Tang San beat her to the point of depression."

Chapter 26: Inter-College Tournament, Facing Tianshui College

"Hehe, Qingyue, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long. It's been so long since we last met, and you're still as charming as ever! Haha."

Looking at the leader of the Tianshui Academy team, Huo Li smiled slightly. The leader of the Tianshui Academy team was named Shui Qingyue, a sexy middle-aged beauty.

Although she is nearly fifty years old, she looks very young, with delicate features and fair skin, like a girl in her early twenties.

She is also Shui Yue'er's biological mother and Shui Bing'er's stepmother.

Hearing Huo Li's praise, Shui Qingyue said with a smile, "Brother Huo Li, you still know how to talk as well as before."

"Miss Qingyue, it's been a long time."

At this moment, a middle-aged man next to Huo Li also spoke coldly, which was considered as a greeting to Shui Qingyue.

This man had striking features, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. His long, dark hair was tied into a high ponytail that fluttered in the wind behind him. He was tall and strong, giving the impression of a sharp sword suddenly drawn from its sheath in a raging storm.

The man's name was Ling Qiufeng. He was the leader of Shenfeng Academy and Feng Xiaotian's teacher. He, along with Huo Li and Shui Qingyue, was an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Brother Qiufeng." Shui Qingyue shook her head and teased with a wry smile, "You're still as aloof and unapproachable as ever."

While the three middle-aged men exchanged pleasantries, the young people also gathered together and chatted idly. Huo Wu even pulled Ling Yun over to Shui Bing'er and the others and introduced them.

"Lingyun, let me introduce you. This is Shui Bing'er. She is the captain of Tianshui Academy."

As she spoke, Huo Wu pointed to Ling Yun and introduced him to Shui Bing'er: "This child is called Ling Yun. He is the number one genius of our Blazing Fire Academy. Once the exchange competition begins, you will see just how terrifying his strength is."

"Wow! What an adorable child! And so handsome too. He'll definitely grow up to be a heartthrob. Quick, let me pat his head..."

Before Shui Bing'er could speak, she saw a girl who looked very similar to her approach and pounce on Ling Yun like a female hooligan. This girl was Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er's half-sister.

Seeing Shuiyue pounce on him like a hungry tiger, Lingyun stepped back and kept his distance from her.
