Douluo Continent: The Five Elements Lock Martial Soul, Five Elements Divine Might Transformation

"For the past two months, I have often heard His Highness the Crown Prince mention the name of Lord Lingyun. Moreover, the Soul Masters of Tiandou City are saying that you are a genius Soul Master who can surpass the current Haotian Douluo. Seeing you today, it is indeed true to your reputation, hahaha."

Hearing Yu Potian's flattering praise, Ling Yun smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me."

"No, no, no, you flatter me at all. I have lived for more than sixty years and have seen many genius soul masters, but compared with Lord Lingyun, they are like fireflies competing with the bright moon, not worth mentioning."

These words sounded somewhat flattering and obsequious, but they were Yu Potian's true thoughts.

He could tell that Ling Yun's strength far surpassed his own, and that he was also very young.

He had seen many geniuses, but none like Ling Yun, who had reached the Soul Douluo level at the age of nineteen. That was why he was so generous in his praise.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "With the addition of Senior Yu and these young people, Ling Yun, you won't have to deal with those trivial matters anymore. You can spend more time on cultivation. I look forward to the day you become a Title Douluo."

"Your Highness, I will certainly live up to your expectations. And this time, I have also prepared a great gift for you."

"Oh?" Xue Qinghe raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity on her face, and asked with a smile, "What kind of gift is it?"

"Your Highness, please take a look..."

As he spoke, Ling Yun took out a huge object from his soul tool. It was a thick and tough arm, which had been frozen into a block of ice.

"This is the arm of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape. Your Highness is surely aware that the flesh of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is of great benefit to a soul master's cultivation. I believe that Your Highness's cultivation will definitely advance further after consuming it."

Ling Yun raised the corners of his mouth and said, to be honest, he didn't want to give the precious 100,000-year-old soul beast meat to Xue Qinghe, but the problem was that he still needed to sell the flesh and blood of the Titan Giant Ape in Tiandou City later.

With Xue Qinghe's intelligence network, he would definitely receive the news immediately, and then a little investigation would reveal that the 100,000-year-old soul beast meat was his doing.

At that time, Xue Qinghe would probably be disappointed in him, right? Therefore, despite being very reluctant, Ling Yun still took out one of the Titan Giant Ape's arms and gave it to Xue Qinghe.

Chapter 151 Selling Soul Beast Meat

"Meat of a 100,000-year-old soul beast..."

Xue Qinghe raised an eyebrow, his eyes shining as he looked at the enormous creature before him. Just as Ling Yun had said, the flesh of a 100,000-year-old soul beast would greatly benefit his cultivation.

If he can take it regularly, I believe it won't be long before he breaks through level 80.

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe also raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "You're thoughtful, Ling Yun."

"This is what I should do."

"Alright, Lingyun, you must be tired after coming back from the Star Dou Great Forest. Go back and rest."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

With that, Ling Yun leaped away, heading to the market in Tiandou City to meet up with Huo Li and the others, preparing to sell 100,000-year-old soul beast meat together and make a fortune.

After Ling Yun left, Xue Qinghe instructed the head chef of the manor to cook the Titan Giant Ape's arm into a delicious dish, and then said to Yu Potian who was standing next to him.

"Senior Yu, after this piece of soul beast meat thaws, you should also take 100 jin. I hope that your cultivation can advance even further!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Potian's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt on one knee, saying with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness! I will serve Your Highness with my life!"

……

After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, Ling Yun went to the market in Tian Dou City to meet up with Huo Li, along with Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and others.

Upon seeing Ling Yun, Shui Yue'er immediately waved and said with a smile, "Little brother Ling Yun, we're here, come over quickly."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun immediately ran over and asked, "Dean, have you rented a shop yet? At this time, we can't be afraid of wasting money; we must rent a good shop. Our goods are excellent, practically unique, so we're not worried about not being able to sell them."

Although land in Tiandou City is incredibly valuable, the nobles here are also incredibly wealthy and foolish. Upon learning that there is meat from a 100,000-year-old soul beast for sale, some people will pay a high price to buy it, even if it's just to try it out.

Not to mention that the meat of a 100,000-year-old soul beast can truly help a soul master advance their cultivation level, with effects several times greater than those of an ordinary 10,000-year-old soul beast.

Listening to Ling Yun's endless chatter, Huo Li helplessly patted his head and laughed, "You brat, are you trying to teach me how to do business? What's your 100,000-year-old soul beast meat? When I was young, I did much bigger deals."

Come with me, I'll show you the shop we've rented.

As he spoke, Huo Li took a step forward, leading everyone to the center of the market street. He rented a small shop and said with a smile, "We are doing short-term business after all, so the shop doesn't need to be too big. As long as we have enough customers, even the smallest shop can become popular."

Located in the heart of the market, this place is always bustling with people, so there's no worry about a lack of customers.

"But Dad, even though it's a small shop, it's in a good location, and renting it must cost a lot of money, right?"

Huo Wu asked curiously, but Huo Li shook his head slightly and explained, "No, as I said, we're doing short-term business. We'll stop once the soul beast meat is sold out, so I only rented it for a week, and it didn't cost too much money."

After a pause, Huo Li continued, "Alright, everyone hurry up and get ready. Ling Yun, bring out the Titan Ape's corpse. Huo Wu and Xiao Tian, ​​you two go help Ling Yun cut the meat."

"Qingyue, Qiufeng, let's discuss this: how much should a pound of 100,000-year-old soul beast meat sell for?"

With Huo Li's command, everyone took their assigned tasks, and the small shop quickly became busy.

Before long, fresh soul beast meat filled the entire shop, and even the hides and bones of the Titan Giant Ape were not spared, and were packaged and sold together.

Fur can be used to make clothes and soft armor, and bones can be used to forge weapons. A bone from a 100,000-year-old soul beast can be completely forged into a divine weapon in the hands of a master craftsman.

After discussion among Huo Li and the other two, they unanimously decided to set the price of 100,000-year-old soul beast meat at 1,000 gold soul coins for two catties.

And since it's the first day of opening, everything is 10% off, so you only need 900 gold soul coins to buy two catties of 100,000-year-old soul beast meat.

Once the price was agreed upon, everyone immediately began loudly hawking their wares.

"100,000-year-old soul beast meat! We sell 100,000-year-old soul beast meat! New shop owners get a 10% discount on everything. Don't miss out!"

"100,000-year-old soul beast meat! We sell 100,000-year-old soul beast meat! New shop owners get a 10% discount on everything. Don't miss out!"

"..."

As Ling Yun shouted at the top of his lungs, many people, out of curiosity, entered the shop.

Among them were many nobles who, upon learning that 100,000-year-old soul beast meat was for sale, immediately bought dozens of kilograms of frozen soul beast meat to take home and try it.

This brought Ling Yun and his group tens of thousands of gold soul coins in revenue, making Ling Yun's shop even more popular and attracting more customers.

During this time, some people questioned whether the meat sold in the store was genuine 100,000-year-old soul beast meat, and whether they might be using 10,000-year-old soul beast meat to pass off as the real thing.

In response, Ling Yun simply summoned the Five Elemental Locks to demonstrate his Soul Ring configuration, and all doubts vanished completely.

With a 100,000-year spirit ring, one can naturally produce pure 100,000-year spirit beast meat. Moreover, a Spirit Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring would not stoop to using 10,000-year spirit beast meat to pass off as genuine.

Therefore, after seeing Ling Yun's soul ring configuration, more nobles offered to buy it, and even some wealthy merchants spent a lot of money to buy dozens of kilograms to give to their children, hoping that their descendants could become stronger.

As more and more people came to buy, Huo Li's shop became bustling and lively.

Just then, a graceful young lady arrived at the shop and said with great interest, "Dad, Grandpa Bone, I heard that they sell 100,000-year-old soul beast meat here. Let's go take a look."

The old man behind the girl laughed upon hearing this, "Alright, Rongrong, when we get to the shop, Grandpa will buy you as much soul beast meat as you want!"

"Uncle Gu, you spoil Rongrong too much. Besides... I don't think a small shop can afford to sell 100,000-year-old soul beast meat. They're probably just selling inferior soul beast meat worth 80,000 or 90,000 years."

A middle-aged man beside him spoke up calmly, saying that if Ling Yun walked out of the shop, he would immediately recognize the three people as Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Ning Rongrong.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong had already squeezed into the shop, followed closely by Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.

"Boss, give me a hundred catties, or a thousand catties of ten-thousand-year-old soul beast meat..."

Ning Rongrong called out softly, but upon seeing the boss's appearance, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Eh? You're from Blazing Fire Academy!"

At this moment, Ling Yun also looked up at Ning Rongrong and saw Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi behind her. He immediately said, "So it is Sect Leader Ning who has graced our humble shop with his presence. It is truly an honor."

Chapter 152 Engagement (Part 1)

"So it's my young friend Ling Yun!"

Upon seeing Ling Yun here, Ning Fengzhi first raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "When I first heard that the store sells 100,000-year-old soul beast meat, I thought someone was trying to pass off inferior goods as superior ones and fool people here."

But when I saw Lingyun here, I knew that the meat here must be genuine 100,000-year-old soul beast meat.

Qinghe told me your soul power has reached level 80, and you've been in the Star Dou Great Forest obtaining your eighth soul ring. Looks like you've made quite a bit of progress.

“Yes!” Ling Yun nodded. “I was lucky this time. I encountered the Forest Emperor Titan Giant Ape. I defeated it and absorbed its spirit ring, which is how I became an eight-ring Soul Douluo.”

As for the soul beast meat... Sect Master Ning also knows that our Blazing Fire Academy was destroyed by the Spirit Hall, and rebuilding Blazing Fire Academy will require a large sum of money.

So I brought back the Titan Ape's corpse to sell, hoping to raise enough gold soul coins to rebuild the academy.

"I see." Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, then he and Gu Rong went to the container where the Titan Ape's flesh and blood were displayed and nodded.

As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was a knowledgeable person who could tell at a glance that this was the flesh of a real 100,000-year-old soul beast. In particular, the flesh and blood faintly emitted a bright red soul power, which was the mark of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"It really is meat from a 100,000-year-old soul beast! Young friend Ling Yun saved my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How can I not support you on your opening day?"

"Please cut me ten thousand catties of lean meat, young friend. I'll pack it up and take it with me to treat Rongrong and the sect disciples to a good meal."

"okay!"

Ling Yun laughed and said, "As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is richer than a country, they are very generous. This one deal alone is worth 4.5 million gold soul coins, which is more than enough to rebuild the Blazing Fire Academy."

Ling Yun cut a large piece of meat from the Titan Ape's corpse, which accounted for at least one-fifth of the Titan Ape's entire body, and sold it to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi didn't hesitate and cheerfully took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Ling Yun's hand, then chatted with him casually.

"When you went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring, I wrote a letter to the Clear Sky Sect, hoping to form an alliance with them to fight against the Spirit Hall together."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky School could truly form an alliance, even the Spirit Hall would have to be wary. But judging from Sect Master Ning's expression, could it be that they failed?"

"Yes, the Clear Sky Sect refused." Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly. "Ever since the Spirit Hall's Angel Legion attacked the Clear Sky Sect ten years ago, they have broken the backbone of the Clear Sky Sect. Although they now have six Title Douluos, they do not dare to confront the Spirit Hall at all."

If the Spirit Hall launches another Soul Hunting Operation like it did two months ago, we'll have to rely on ourselves.

After a pause, Ning Fengzhi smiled again and said, "Fortunately, Qinghe suggested that I take in the survivors of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Nowadays, many members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family have chosen to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in order to avenge their families."

With the addition of these young talents, I believe that in just a few years, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will become stronger, and we will have more confidence in our fight against the Spirit Hall.

"Hehe, I believe in Sect Master Ning's abilities. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely become stronger." Ling Yun said a few nice words to make Ning Fengzhi happy.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ning Fengzhi took his leave and went shopping with Ning Rongrong in other places, while Ling Yun continued to sell meat to make money.

It took Ling Yun a full month to sell most of the soul beast meat. As for the remaining few hundred kilograms of soul beast meat, Ling Yun decided to keep it for his own people.

Especially for Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu, who have not yet broken through to the Soul Emperor level, consuming the flesh of a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast can further enhance their cultivation.

After selling soul beast meat for a month, the group earned nearly 20 million gold soul coins. Not only could they rebuild Blazing Fire Academy, but Huo Li was even considering whether to take this opportunity to expand the scale, build several branch schools, and attract more talented soul masters to enroll.

As for Ling Yun, after selling all the soul beast meat he had, he returned to his rented house to cultivate, hoping to further improve his cultivation.

Unfortunately, after becoming a Soul Douluo, he clearly felt that the speed of his soul power improvement had slowed down a lot. Now, if he wants to cultivate to level 86, he will need at least half a year of hard training.

However, Ling Yun was not in a hurry. What he had in abundance was time. Even if it took him more than half a year to advance one level, or even two years to advance one level, he could still become a Title Douluo before he turned thirty. At that time, he would still be the youngest Title Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent.

Five months later, Ling Yun was meditating and cultivating in his room. At this moment, his soul power had reached the peak of level 85, and he was just one step away from breaking through to level 86.
