Chapter 10 Auction House, Whale Glue
Flander has already made a fortune, and the food at Shrek Academy has also improved significantly. There is meat at every meal, soul beast meat every other day, and medicinal baths three times a week.
Having money makes you so capricious; Flanders experienced what it's like to be a nouveau riche, and the smile on Flanders' face hasn't changed in the past few days.
Ten days later, Li Luochen was trying to reach level 17. He had reached level 16 a long time ago, and the breakthrough was just around the corner. He was determined to break through in one go!
Soul power level 17.
"Phew—cultivation is so enjoyable! The feeling of increasing soul power is really great."
Li Luochen left his house to find Flander, because there was a high-level auction in Soto City that night.
Arrived at Flander's office
Now Flander is living a comfortable life, spending his days drinking tea and cultivating. His soul power level has reached 68, and he should be able to break through to Soul Saint by next year at the latest.
"Dean, there's an auction in Soto City tonight, shall we go check it out?"
Li Luochen got straight to the point: he wanted whale glue, which was the key to his ability to absorb spirit rings beyond his level. If he succeeded, Flander could buy up whale glue on a large scale, giving all the teachers at Shrek Academy a huge boost.
"Alright! Today, I, the dean, will take you to broaden your horizons."
Flander led Li Luochen to Soto City.
Soto Auction House at night
The auction house truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end and luxurious place. Soto City is one of the richest cities in the Barak Kingdom, home to the Martial Soul Main Hall, so the auction house here is quite prestigious.
Flander led Li Luochen into the auction house, where a special receptionist escorted them inside. Flander was, after all, one of the few Soul Emperors in Soto City, so he still had some influence.
Li Luochen also carefully observed the situation inside the auction house. Most of the attendees were led by scantily clad beauties. These women were the kind who would stay here their whole lives and be discarded when they were no longer needed.
Alas—what a tragic fate.
The young woman who greeted Flander led him to a private room. As a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse, Flander was a respected figure in Soto City, so it was quite reasonable for him to have a private room.
The young woman handed Flander the catalog for today's auction; a Soul Emperor-level expert was qualified to know what was being auctioned beforehand.
"Xiao Chen, see what you want to buy. The dean will buy it for you today."
Flander sat casually on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand, elegantly sipping his tea.
Li Luochen looked at the catalog. Gems, medicinal herbs, jewelry, soul tools, and even soul bones were available, though only for those that were a hundred years old. Not only did Li Luochen look down on the hundred-year-old soul bones, but Flander also looked down on them.
After a final scan, Li Luochen's lips curled into a smile. Whale glue! This was the one he was looking for, and there was quite a lot of whale glue today—six pieces, all of them millennium-level.
The millennium whale glue is enough to boost Li Luochen's second soul ring to its maximum potential for five hundred years.
"Dean, let's buy whale glue. We don't like anything else."
"puff--"
Upon hearing this, Flander spat out the tea in his mouth and looked at Li Luochen with a strange expression.
"Are you out of your mind? Whale collagen is an aphrodisiac. You want to have some fun? At your age, it's questionable whether you can even stay erect."
What the hell? What does this mean? Has it escalated into a personal attack?
"Ahem, Dean, it's not like that. Please shield this area with your soul power first, and I'll explain."
Flander waved his hand and used his soul power to create a barrier, preventing others from hearing what they were talking about.
"That's right, Dean. Whale glue is the brain of whale-type soul beasts. It's the essence. I read in medical books that whale glue has a significant nourishing effect on soul masters, strengthening their bodies and enhancing the resilience of their muscles, bones, and meridians."
Whale glue needs to be softened by intense flames before it can be consumed. After consumption, a Soul Master's physique can be improved. For example, if a Soul Master can withstand the absorption of a two-thousand-year-old Soul Beast's Soul Ring, consuming thousand-year-old whale glue will increase their tolerance by at least five hundred years. Furthermore, whale glue also has the effect of removing impurities from the body, and its beauty and skin-nourishing properties are also quite good.
Flander frowned upon hearing this. Li Luochen did indeed read medical books frequently, and his medical skills were already quite remarkable. In the village where Shrek Academy was located, Li Luochen cured all the villagers when they fell ill.
Li Luochen's medical skills have now reached a certain level of success.
"Since that's the case, then the dean will buy it for you. You're not planning to absorb your second spirit ring for a thousand years, are you?"
Flander was determined to buy it; after all, no one else knew he was buying whale glue, and he was in the private room.
Only later did they realize that if whale gel really had such powerful effects, perhaps these teachers could also make great progress.
The auction continued, until the whale glue was auctioned off, when Flander spent tens of thousands of gold soul coins to win the bid.
After paying the money, Flander left with Li Luochen, eager to know if whale glue was really that magical.
"Dean, do you have any furnace or similar equipment? Whale glue needs to be softened at high temperatures."
Li Luochen looked at Flander and said.
"Yes! I have an old-fashioned stove in my general store. Let's go get it now."
Flander led Li Luochen to his general store. He went to the back to look for a furnace, and Li Luochen noticed an orange crystal among the miscellaneous items in the goods section.
"Dean, what is this crystal?"
Li Luochen pointed to the crystal and asked.
"Oh, this is sheet metal. It's not very useful, just for looks. If you like it, you can take it."
Flander glanced at the document, accepted it, and then continued searching for the furnace.
Oh, so it's rutilated quartz. There must be dragon whisker needles inside. It's a pity I don't know how to use Tang Clan hidden weapons, otherwise this would be a deadly weapon.
Li Luochen took the sheet metal directly; he didn't intend to leave it for Tang San.
"Haha, found it! Xiao Chen, let's go back to the academy and quickly try the whale glue to see if it really has these benefits."
Flander put away an ancient furnace cauldron and took Li Luochen back to Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy
"Xiao Chen, I've cleaned the furnace and prepared the firewood. Who wants to go first?"
Flander looked at the dark golden whale glue in his hand, still somewhat unsure whether it really had such miraculous effects.
"Let me do it. I want to test whether the whale glue is real or not. If it is real and feasible, then let's improve the teachers at Shrek Academy first."
That way, the dean can lead the teachers to the sea to hunt sea monsters and obtain whale glue, which would be better for our student training.
After all, the temptation of absorbing spirit rings beyond one's limits is too great.
Upon hearing this, Flander's hesitant expression hardened. He knew that consuming whale gelatin would only have negative effects, such as enhancing male potency and increasing libido, but it wouldn't harm his body.
