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

Just as Ning Xingchen turned to leave and look at other things, a middle-aged man with a full beard approached him and said, "Friend, do you really want this Dragon Abyss Boat?"

Ning Xingchen said, "This thing is okay to play with, but it's not worth spending 20,000 gold soul coins."

“I am the owner of this Dragon Abyss Boat, and I urgently need Gold Soul Coins. How about this, you give me 18,000 Gold Soul Coins, and I'll sell it to you,” the middle-aged man said.

"Never mind." Ning Xingchen ignored him.

At Tang San's auction, no one in Hanhai City made a bid, which shows that everyone was not stupid and thought it was not worth 10,000 gold soul coins at all.

"Seventeen thousand...Sixteen thousand!"

"Thirteen thousand!"

The middle-aged man followed behind Ning Xingchen, and it was clear that he was in dire need of gold soul coins.

Seeing that Ning Xingchen still ignored him, he said, "Ten thousand gold soul coins, I'll sell it to you if you want."

I've been consigning this item for half a month, but no one has bought it.

If you sell it to Hanhai Pavilion, they will only offer 5,000 gold soul coins. If you consign it, although there will be a certain handling fee, it will definitely cost more than 5,000 gold soul coins.

Therefore, a price of 10,000 gold soul coins is still considered high.

Ning Xingchen stopped when he heard him shout out 10,000 gold soul coins. He was willing to sell for 10,000, so it seemed he could sell for even less.

“Eight thousand gold soul coins!” Ning Xingchen whispered.

Eight thousand? Eight thousand again!

The middle-aged man was speechless. He had previously refused an offer of 8,000, which was the highest offer he had received in the past two weeks.

"Could you increase it a bit more? The handling fee for consignment at Hanhai Pavilion is five percent," the middle-aged man said.

Upon hearing that there was hope, Ning Xingchen said, "Eight thousand five hundred gold soul coins. This is my final price. After deducting the handling fee, you can still get more than eight thousand gold soul coins. I don't want anything higher."

"Okay, okay, okay! Eight thousand five hundred it is, deal." the middle-aged man said.

If he hadn't needed those gold soul coins to save his life tonight, he probably would have given them to Hanhai Pavilion for five thousand gold soul coins.

After all, his purpose in coming here was to tell Han Hai Pavilion that he could directly exchange for gold soul coins without waiting for the auction. He had already accepted the price of five thousand gold soul coins, and getting eight thousand gold soul coins would be enough.

Even after deducting a 5% handling fee, you can still get more than 8,000 gold soul coins from 8,500 gold soul coins, which is 3,000 gold soul coins more than what you would give to Hanhai Pavilion.

Eight thousand gold soul coins would be just enough for him to get through his current predicament.

"Xiaoyu, can you help me with the settlement?"

"Okay!" Xiaoyu smiled and said. She could also get a commission from selling this item. She could get five percent of the handling fee for consigned items.

Five percent of 8,500 gold soul coins is 425 gold soul coins. She is increasing it by one percent, which is at least four gold soul coins.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the money was paid and the formalities were completed, and the Dragon Abyss Boat became Ning Xingchen's.

Giving away 8,500 gold soul coins can't be considered a profit, but it shouldn't be a loss either.

The Dragon Abyss Boat is quite useful when paired with the invisibility skill of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, making it the best tool for going to Seagod Island.

Shortly after Ning Xingchen finished his business, Ning Dingling and Sword Douluo also came out, accompanied by a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walking beside Ning Dingling.

The girl was over 1.5 meters tall, wearing a sea-blue dress, with fair skin and a pretty face, chatting and laughing with Ning Dingling.

Isn't this Yueyue, the girl who led him the way?

Even though he had changed his clothes, he could still recognize him at a glance.

"Xingchen, let me introduce you. This is Hai Mingyue, the young master of Hanhai Pavilion. She gave us a 50% discount on the millennium whale glue we bought, and an even more generous 60% discount on the ten-thousand-year whale glue. I heard that such quality only appears at Hanhai Pavilion's auctions. You should come and get to know her."

Ning Dingling is not short of money, but she is naturally happy to buy good things at low prices.

“Brother Ning, we meet again. I could have lowered the price a bit more, but this is the only discount I can offer.” Hai Mingyue stepped forward, looking at Ning Xingchen with a smile.

"You know each other?" Ning Dingling asked with a puzzled look. It was their first time visiting Hanhai City.

It's only been a short time, maybe less than two hours since Ning Xingchen arrived in Hanhai City, and he's already hooked up with this pretty girl.

Hai Mingyue turned to Ning Dingling and said, "Sister Ling, I just met Brother Ning. So Brother Ning's name is Ning Xingchen."

Chapter 103 The Whale Hunting Ship of the Vast Ocean Pavilion, Whale Attack

Hai Mingyue was definitely prepared; it's no exaggeration to say that children in the Douluo world mature early.

It was obvious that she had seen him greeting Ning Dingling.

Ning Xingchen responded politely, "Thank you! So you are the young master of Hanhai Pavilion."

"Brother Ning, if you want more whale glue, you can hunt it in the ocean and bring it back for us to process," Hai Mingyue said with a smile.

"Yueyue, how could I possibly accept this?" Ning Dingling said.

The price of these whale glues is already very low. If they were sold in Tiandou City, their price would be much higher than the regular price at Hanhai Pavilion.

Ning Dingling also wanted to build a good relationship with Hai Mingyue, after all, he was the young master of Hanhai Pavilion, and Hanhai Pavilion monopolized whale glue.

After establishing a good relationship, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School purchased large quantities of whale glue from here, forming a long-term cooperative relationship.

"I felt an instant connection with Sister Ling, just like she was my own sister. It's such a pity that my sister..." Hai Mingyue lowered her head as she spoke, her face filled with sadness.

"Yueyue, what happened to your sister?" Ning Dingling asked in a low voice.

"My sister went to Poseidon Island six years ago, and we haven't heard from her since. I don't know if she'll ever be able to come back." Hai Mingyue said with a sorrowful expression.

And this sorrowful look didn't seem feigned; he was genuinely heartbroken.

"Yueyue, did your sister really go to Poseidon Island?" Ning Dingling asked again to confirm.

Hai Mingyue nodded after hearing this and continued, "Yes, we went to Poseidon Island six years ago, and there has been no news since. My father has also asked people to inquire, but so far he has not gotten any useful information."

"Sister Ling, I asked Brother Ning, and he said you're going to Seagod Island, so... so I was wondering if you could take me with you? Don't worry, I will definitely reward you." Hai Mingyue wiped away her tears and said.

She still wouldn't give up. Six years had passed, and she longed to see her sister, whether she was dead or alive.

"Yueyue, do you really want to go to Poseidon Island?" Ning Dingling asked.

"Yes!" Hai Mingyue nodded.

Ning Dingling was unaware of the situation on Poseidon Island, but she did not immediately agree, only glancing at Ning Xingchen.

"Xingchen, can we bring her along?" Ning Dingling asked.

Hai Mingyue was taken aback. She thought Ning Dingling was their backbone, but it turned out that Ning Xingchen was the one in front of her.

Oh no, what if he doesn't want to?

So Hai Mingyue looked at Ning Xingchen with a pitiful expression, not at all like the young master of Hanhai Pavilion, but more like a little sister next door.

Ning Xingchen seemed to want to bring Ning Dingling along, and even wanted to cooperate with Hanhai Pavilion in the future.

“Okay, we can bring her along, but we need her family’s permission first,” Ning Xingchen said.

Hai Mingyue was delighted upon hearing the first half of the sentence, but became unhappy upon hearing the second half.

If her family had asked her to go, she would have gone long ago; would she have waited until now?

Ning Dingling also felt that Ning Xingchen's words made a lot of sense. After all, Hai Mingyue was still young, not even thirteen years old yet, and her family should agree.

"But……"

“But my father and mother won’t let me go.” If she could go, she would have already taken the family’s whaling boat.

Hai Mingyue looked disappointed, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Ning Xingchen said, "Then there's nothing we can do. However, we will stay in Hanhai City for three days and set off on the morning of three days from now. If you can convince your family by then, you can come and find us."

"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Hai Mingyue stopped crying. This time, she was determined to let her parents know her resolve.

……

Ning Xingchen and the others left Hanhai Pavilion and soon returned to the hotel.

That evening, in Ning Xingchen's room, he waved his hand in front of the spatial soul tool, and a palm-sized piece of whale glue appeared in his hand.

This is a piece of high-quality whale glue that has been around for thousands of years. Not only that, everyone in the group also has a piece, just in different sizes.

Besides him, Sword Douluo and Zhao Ziyun were also around the same size.

The highest level the others reached was Soul Saint, so they all only received eggs-sized amounts.

In the two or three days before leaving, they took whale gelatin to improve their strength before going to Poseidon Island. This was Ning Dingling's idea, which coincided with Ning Xingchen's thoughts.

However, there is a drawback to taking whale gelatin, or rather, it is not really a drawback, but rather an aphrodisiac effect.

Fortunately, Ning Xingchen had a record of whale glue in the Medicine God Valley's inheritance, and whale glue was considered a medicinal material in the Medicine God's inheritance.

Ning Xingchen knew how to avoid this drawback, but it was a pity that the Medicine God Valley's inheritance did not explain how to make whale glue after hunting whale-type soul beasts, which was also a regret for Ning Xingchen.

It's important to know that the Sea God's Trial may include a task to hunt down demonic killer whales, which could involve killing dozens or even hundreds of them.

The amount of whale glue produced is considerable, and it would be a huge waste not to process it. It might be helpful to bring it with us later.

Never mind, I'll try using this whale glue first and see how it goes.

Originally, there were better ways to use the Medicine God's inheritance, but due to limited conditions and insufficient medicinal materials, Ning Xingchen still took it in the conventional way of using whale glue.

Simply add a drug to counteract the aphrodisiac effect when taking it.

Ning Xingchen did not take it all at once, but instead took one-third of a piece of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue.

Not long after, Ning Xingchen had already taken the whale gelatin.

A strange energy appeared in his body, and the effects of the whale glue took hold. Ning Xingchen felt a heat rising inside him, but he quickly suppressed it.

Time passed slowly, and by morning, all the whale gelatin had been consumed.

Ning Xingchen experienced the enhancement that the whale gel brought him.

"Um……"

"There has been some improvement, but not much!"

"It seems that the ten-thousand-year whale elixir will not improve my physical level much. Perhaps it will have a greater effect after ten thousand years."

Not only was Ning Xingchen's improvement minimal, but Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Zhao Ziyun also experienced little improvement.

However, everyone else besides them improved more.

It seems that this whale glue should be used to cultivate low-level Soul Masters, as it is still quite different from high-grade medicinal herbs.
