Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

If we're really talking about her appearance, it's probably that she deliberately smeared some ash on her face, as if she wanted to conceal her good looks.

Judging from the fluctuations in his soul power, his soul power is estimated to be around level 26.

Ning Xingchen asked, "Lead the way? Do you know about whale glue?"

With his current strength, he had no worries about bringing Sword Douluo and others along, and there was no need for him to take the path of treachery, so he directly stated his purpose.

“Whale glue? I know that. There’s only one place in Hanhai City that buys and sells whale glue, called Hanhai Pavilion. They usually sell thousand-year-old whale glue, and sometimes even ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. However, they don’t sell this kind of whale glue directly; it’s usually sold through auctions,” the girl said.

She felt that Ning Xingchen had an extraordinary temperament from the moment she saw him. She had met many people from the inland, but she had never met anyone like Ning Xingchen before.

The key point is that she's beautiful, so beautiful that she even offered to be her guide.

After all, she wasn't a professional guide; she was just a young lady who didn't want to be confined at home and wanted to go out and have fun. And this outfit was the gear she had taken when she escaped from home.

Ning Xingchen smiled and deliberately said, "It seems you know so much about this. Do you know the price of whale glue? This is my first time here, and I'm afraid of being ripped off."

Judging from the girl's words and demeanor, she is definitely not an ordinary person. At her age, having such soul power is certainly not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The girl chuckled, looking smug and confident, and said, "You've come to the right person. No one in Hanhai City knows more about the price of whale glue than me."

Chapter 102 Purchasing the Dragon Abyss Boat, the Young Girl Hai Mingyue

The girl seemed very confident, which probably confirmed to Ning Xingchen that her identity in Hanhai City was extraordinary.

Do young ladies from wealthy families like to play like this?

Ning Xingchen decided to go along with her and said, "That's great. Please take me to buy it. I'll reward you for showing me the way."

"Payment? My fee for guiding you is not cheap," the girl said with a smile.

"How much do you want?"

The girl thought for a moment, then looked up at Ning Xingchen again and said, "Others want money, but I like you, brother, so I don't need your gold soul coins. I just want to ask you one question, and you just need to answer me truthfully."

"What's the problem? I can tell you anything I know," Ning Xingchen said.

The girl asked, "Did you come to Hanhai City to go to Seagod Island?"

"Yes!" Ning Xingchen replied directly.

"That's true. Then I'll take you to buy whale glue now." The girl looked excited after hearing Ning Xingchen's words, as if she also longed for Seagod Island.

"Brother, what should I call you? You can just call me Yueyue."

Ning Xingchen said, "My surname is Ning."

“Then I’ll call you Brother Ning. Let me tell you about the two ways to buy whale glue in my Hanhai City.”

"The first option is to buy directly from the Han Hai Pavilion, where they have millennium whale glue and ten-thousand-year whale glue. The minimum price for millennium whale glue is over one thousand gold soul coins, but even the best quality millennium whale glue will not exceed five thousand gold soul coins per piece."

"What about ten-thousand-year-old whale glue?" Ning Xingchen asked. With the strength of their team, consuming thousand-year-old whale glue would not be enough; they would need at least ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

Yueyue said, "Brother Ning, you can usually buy whale glue at Hanhai Pavilion, but the quality of the whale glue you can buy is only average. If you want high-quality whale glue, you can only buy it at the large-scale auctions held by Hanhai Pavilion every month."

"And a palm-sized piece of high-quality whale glue has never been sold for less than 30,000 gold soul coins at auction."

"Yueyue, is Hanhai Pavilion the only store in Hanhai City that has whale glue?" Ning Xingchen asked doubtfully. As Yueyue said, it seemed that whale glue was monopolized.

Yueyue revealed a confident expression and said, "That's right, after all, only Hanhai Pavilion in the entire Hanhai City has mastered the method of processing whale glue."

"If you know that whale glue exists, then you should know where it comes from."

“A whale-type soul beast!” Ning Xingchen said.

Yueyue nodded and said, "That's right, it's a special substance from the brain of whale-type soul beasts. This substance can only be processed into whale glue, which can be used by soul masters."

“Hanhai Pavilion has mastered the handling method, which is indeed a monopoly,” Ning Xingchen said.

Yueyue said, "Actually, it's not just that. Hunting whale-type soul beasts is not easy. Hunting a thousand-year-old whale-type soul beast is extremely difficult, let alone a ten-thousand-year-old whale-type soul beast."

"Moreover, many whale-type soul beasts live in groups, making them even more difficult to hunt. Even the whaling ships of the Hanhai Pavilion may not be able to hunt one in a year."

"I see. Obtaining whale glue is not easy," Ning Xingchen said.

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Yueyue said.

"Yueyue, how do you know so much about mirror adhesive?" Ning Xingchen asked curiously.

"Uh, um... that's common sense, most people in Hanhai City know that." Yueyue showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Brother Ning, the Hanhai Pavilion is just ahead, so I won't go in. Show me this, and I can give you the best price."

This is a blue sign with the words "Hanhai Pavilion" written on one side and "VIP Card" on the other.

Ning Xingchen said, "Yueyue, you led the way for me and gave me this VIP card, so you must want my help with something, right?"

"Hehe, I can't hide it from Brother Ning after all. You're going to Seagod Island, can you take me with you?" Yueyue said with a giggle.

Her goal was to go to Poseidon Island, but her family forbade her to go, and it seemed that no one in Hanhai City was willing to go, nor was anyone willing to take her there.

So she could only wait, hoping that people from other places could take her with them when they went to Poseidon Island.

Of course, she wouldn't ask every outsider; her family had already received intelligence when Ning Xingchen and the others entered Hanhai City.

The conclusion reached was that this team from out of town was unfathomable and most likely headed to Poseidon Island.

That's why she decided to give it a try. Little did she know that the young man in front of her gave her a very comfortable feeling, so she directly gave him a top-tier VIP card from Hanhai Pavilion.

This VIP card allows you to buy high-quality whale glue directly from Hanhai Pavilion without going through the auction, but she just didn't mention it.

"No! Poseidon Island isn't as easy as you think. Here, take this back." Ning Xingchen handed the VIP card back.

This month, Yueyue was just too naive. She was the one who met her. If it were a Soul Master with ulterior motives, she would have been taken advantage of long ago.

"Also, don't trust a Soul Master you've just met. You'll be in danger if they're a bad guy." Ning Xingchen said before walking towards the Han Hai Pavilion.

Seeing Ning Xingchen leave and the VIP card in her hand, the girl Yueyue smiled and whispered, "Actually, my martial soul has a special ability that allows me to sense your good or evil towards me. From beginning to end, you never harbored any malice towards me, so that's why..."

"Never mind!" Yueyue sighed, then went to the back of the Hanhai Pavilion building, opened a door, and went inside.

……

"Hello sir, welcome to Hanhaige! I'm Xiaoyu, your staff member. I'll be serving you from now on."

As soon as he entered the Hanhai Pavilion, a young woman dressed in light clothing came up to Ning Xingchen and bowed.

Ning Xingchen said, "Take me to see the whale glue!"

"Whale glue is on the third floor of my Hanhai Pavilion. Please follow me."

"Tell me about the main businesses your Hanhai Pavilion deals in," Ning Xingchen asked.

Shop assistant Xiaoyu nodded and smiled, "Okay, let me first tell you that the first floor sells common materials needed by Soul Masters, Soul Guidance Devices, etc."

"On the second floor..."

"The third level we're about to go up to has whale glue, high-grade medicinal herbs, and some special and precious soul tools, such as the super soul tool we just obtained, the Dragon Abyss Boat, and even soul bones."

Ning Xingchen was thinking of going to the auction, but little did he know that all these things were available at Hanhai Pavilion.

Just as Ning Xingchen reached the third floor, he spotted two familiar figures.

"Xingchen, what brings you here too?" Ning Dingling turned around and spotted Ning Xingchen. Naturally, Sword Douluo was also with Ning Dingling.

"Sis, I just came to take a look around. I heard they sell whale glue here," Ning Xingchen replied truthfully.

Ning Dingling said, "So you also know about whale glue. A few pieces occasionally appear in Tiandou City, but even our sect finds it extremely difficult to buy."

"So, sister, you're here for a big shopping spree?" Ning Xingchen asked.

“That’s right, we’re negotiating the price. We’ll buy as much whale glue as Hanhai Pavilion has,” Ning Dingling said, her face practically radiating wealth and arrogance.

Ning Xingchen said, "Alright, since you're buying whale glue from them, I won't participate. I'll just take a look."

He turned back to Xiaoyu and said, "Take me to that Dragon Abyss Boat you mentioned earlier."

"it is good!"

Led by Xiaoyu, Ning Xingchen arrived at a counter.

A miniature version of the Longyuan Boat was displayed in the counter, about one foot long from bow to stern.

The Longyuan boat has a spindle-shaped exterior, with a dragon head at the front and a fish tail standing upright at the rear. On each side, there are four wings that look like fish fins.

The Longyuan boat is milky white all over, as if it were carved from jade.

Xiaoyu pointed to the miniature version of the Dragon Abyss Boat and said, "After the Dragon Abyss Boat is released and restored to its original shape, it is about twelve meters long and about two meters in diameter at its widest point."

"The Longyuan boat can accommodate twelve to fifteen passengers at the same time. It can get on and off at sea, sailing on the surface and diving into the sea."

"It can dive to a depth of up to 300 meters. With it, you will no longer need to fear any storms when sailing on the high seas. Because if the waves are huge, you can immediately dive into the deep water."

"Moreover, this item is extremely suitable for viewing the scenery at sea or for use as a life-saving tool. After all, when it transforms into its true form, it is completely transparent and can see the scenery at any angle in the sea. At the same time, it can also withstand the soul skill attacks of a hundred-year-old soul beast."

After explaining its functions in one breath, Xiaoyu pursed her lips.

"How much is it?" Ning Xingchen asked directly.

"Hmm, twenty thousand, just twenty thousand gold soul coins," Xiaoyu said.

Twenty thousand?

Ning Xingchen remembered that when Tang San came here, he only spent 10,000 gold soul coins at the auction. The auction failed multiple times and there were no bids. How come it costs 20,000 gold soul coins now?

Xiaoyu said, "This Dragon Abyss Boat was recently discovered in a pirate ruin. It was originally scheduled to be auctioned in three days, but the owner of this soul tool urgently needs gold soul coins, so it will be sold for 20,000 gold soul coins first."

"The initial launch price?"

Xiaoyu was completely bewildered, not understanding what Ning Xingchen meant by the initial price.

A novel item might initially be priced inflated, but over time, as people become aware of and learn about it, the price will drop, leading to a lack of buyers.

Ning Xingchen said, "The item is good, and the kinetic energy is also good, but it can only withstand the attacks of a hundred-year-old soul beast."

If it's a hundred-year-old soul beast, then the Dragon Abyss Boat can only be used in the near sea and dares not go far. Even if it's used in the near sea, there is still danger, because occasionally a thousand-year-old soul beast will come.

"Never mind, let's leave it for the auction," Ning Xingchen said.

Twenty thousand gold soul coins is far too much.

Xiaoyu looked helpless after hearing this. More than a hundred people had inquired about this item recently, but when they heard the price of 20,000 gold soul coins, they all gave up on buying it.

Some people tried to bargain, but the highest bidder only offered 8,000 gold soul coins to buy it and play with it.

After all, this thing can only withstand the attacks of a hundred-year-old soul beast, so it's really a bit of a waste on the sea.
