Tang Yue said, “How about this, specially for you, I’ll apply and ask to limit the price to 30 yellow emblems until they’re done absorbing them.”
Lan Xuanyu thought about it and said, “That works too. Teacher Tang, the auction item today also had a thousand-year Fruit of Life. It was auctioned for hundreds of millions. Is it produced here?”
Tang Yue smiled. “Why? You want to eat one?”
Lan Xuanyu quickly shook his head. “I don’t ! I’m still young and don’t need to extend my lifespan.”
Tang Yue said, “The Fruit of Life is also very beneficial to your cultivation with your high affinity with life energy. Usually absorbing life energy is from the outside to the inside. But eating a Fruit of Life is from the inside out. It’s different in the way it nourishes the body and each has their own benefits. Look, was it this?”
As he spoke, Tang Yue took out a jade green bag and took out a green fruit. It was the same Life Fruit that Lan Xuanyu saw on the auction screen today.
“Yes, yes, this is it. You have it too?” Lan Xuanyu’s eyes turned red.
“Yup, the taste is alright.” While saying that, Tang Yue brought it to his mouth and took a bite. Immediately, a sweet fragrance filled the room but strangely, there wasn’t any rich life energy.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes widened. 300 million! Just like that?
“Replenishing one’s life source is one of the School of Life’s cultivation methods. We have to constantly nurture ourselves until we get a chance to break through. Every School of Life’s disciple can receive one every month, but we can’t sell it, so we can only eat it ourselves.” As he spoke, Tang Yue ate the Fruit of Life in a few bites.
Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He had never been so envious of a person before. That was 300 million! Was the School of Life really so rich?
“Teacher Tang, I... I’ll go cultivate then.”
Tang Yue watched as Lan Xuanyu walked away in a daze and couldn’t help but smile. ‘That’s right! One per month, but it only starts when one is a rank 90 Titled Douluo!’ He deliberately omitted the rank 90 standard. This wasn’t something he wanted to omit, but Old Shu wanted him to.
In Old Shu’s words, this was called subtle influence! Conspiring openly usually had better results than doing it secretly.
Days went by, and Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu finally chose to absorb the Ice God Twin Lotus Flowers at Sea God Lake. However, their savings were almost used up. The two of them only had less than two purple emblems left.
Thankfully, for first years, this was enough for their cultivation.
After six hours of absorption, they didn’t even arrive late for class.
After they were done absorbing, everyone felt that it was worth it. The money was worth spending. Putting aside how much their potential had increased, they had become even more beautiful. Their skin became more crystal clear, and their entire bodies faintly emitted a treasure glow.
They didn’t go to Sea God Lake for naught. Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu had both increased their soul power by one rank, Dong Qianqiu was now rank 42, and Lan Mengqin rank 46. But the true use of the Ice God Twin Lotus Flowers had yet to be revealed, there was no doubt that it would be extremely beneficial to them in the future.
After that, they entered into a stable period of learning and cultivating. Everyone was very busy every day and was working hard to learn, cultivate, and improve themselves.
The only major interlude was at the auction house. In the second week, they participated in the auction again. Just as Shrek Auction House said, the finale item was still the Silver Dragon Spear. However, when people from large organizations who were prepared to participate in the auction came, the starting price changed.
100 billion. Yes, it had increased by 10 times.
This matter quickly became the hottest topic in the Federation. In a moment, Shrek Auction House was at the center of everyone attention.
No one could tell whether a Divine Weapon was worth hundreds of billions of federal coins or not. But 100 billion was enough for the Federation to build a Great Fleet class warship. The budget for building a Federation Fleet was only between 500 billion and 1 trillion!
100 billion, this price was simply astronomical.
There was no doubt that Shrek Academy was here to just flaunt their wealth. They had no intention of selling this Divine Weapon at all. But why were they doing that? No one knew.
After defeating the third years, Lan Xuanyu and his team had become much more low-key. They studied and cultivated every day, and there wasn’t any news about them. As for that match, it was gradually being forgotten. But Lan Xuanyu’s reputation as the number one first-year was widely recognized in Shrek Academy. After all, he had killed four five-ring soul masters! Although most people could tell that it was under special circumstances, how many people could do it even under such circumstances?
With enough emblems, Lan Xuanyu didn’t try to be conservative and cultivated in Sea God Lake twice a month. He didn’t buy other Heaven and Earth materials and Earth treasures as Tang Yue had taught him before. While cultivating in Sea God Lake, he didn’t need to eat anything to replenish himself. Too much nutrients was a waste.
The dragon blood was really useful to Fatty Jin. It seemed to be able to stimulate even further his evolution. Qian Lei endured the pain for his wallet and brought Fatty Jin to Sea God Lake once a month to cultivate. After each session, he would usually sleep for about ten days. Only Qian Lei knew the specific details of his evolution. However, he had to pay double for bringing Fatty Jin to Sea God Lake.
The semester was nearing its end due to the intense learning and cultivation.
Shrek’s Blacksmith Association.
Lan Xuanyu quickly walked into the association. After a semester, he had grown much taller and his body seemed to have become stronger. He was also about 1.65 meters tall. He wasn’t especially tall among his peers, but he was above average. contemporary romance
The moment he entered, he met a resentful gaze. “Junior, you’re here?”
“Hello, senior.” Lan Xuanyu smiled.
The owner of this resentful gaze was Yang Yingming.
Yang Yingming couldn’t help but feel resentful. Lan Xuanyu had joined the Blacksmith Association for a few months and every time he came, he would lock himself in the forging room doing Heavens know what. He didn’t even buy any rare metals and never asked him to teach him anything. He really hadn’t spent a single cent! He was only using the free resources.
Yang Yingming, who initially wanted to earn some extra money from Lan Xuanyu, had long since lost patience, but he didn’t think that Lan Xuanyu would be able to learn anything under such circumstances.
He had never heard of self-learning forging being a thing. Furthermore, this guy had never even used rare metals before! How could he improve? Knowledge from books was dead, after all.
He had tried to persuade Lan Xuanyu a few times, but every time, Lan Xuanyu would smile and continue his routine. After so many times, Yang Yingming couldn’t be bothered to say anything more and just let him be.
“Senior, can the Blacksmith Association directly purchase rare metals from the Exchange Center?” Lan Xuanyu asked Yang Yingming.
“Ah? You’re planning to use rare metals?” Yang Yingming looked at him in surprise.
“Yes, I want to try.” Lan Xuanyu nodded.
Yang Yingming laughed, “You’ve finally started to understand. Do you need senior’s guidance?”
Lan Xuanyu thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll have to trouble Senior then. This is my first time forging a rare metal, please guide me. Is a white emblem good enough ?”
“Just once? Sure,” Yang Yingming agreed without hesitation. One white emblem for one session was not a bad deal. He was just a little confused, since when did this brat become so generous?
“What rare metal do you want to buy?” Yang Yingming asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Heavy Silver please. Buy one cubic meter and split it into 100 pieces. How many emblems do you need?”
“Buy a cubic meter of Heavy Silver?” Yang Yingming was stunned by his wealth.
