Sell Martial Soul?

Qian Ying regretted it the moment the words left her lips.

Just because Dugu Bo treated Lin Fan well did not mean he would be so kind to others.

"Hmm?"

"What is it?"

Fortunately, Dugu Bo felt he owed Lin Fan a favor and was quite friendly toward Lin Fan's relatives.

Sweeping his gaze over them, Dugu Bo noticed Qian Ying's hesitation and chuckled, "No need to mind the formalities; let us treat each other as equals."

"Many thanks, Senior Dugu."

Qian Ying asked in a deep voice, "Senior is knowledgeable and experienced; might you know if anyone within the Heaven Dou Empire has awakened the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul?"

"Nine Heart Begonia?"

Before Dugu Bo could reply, Dugu Yan spoke up, "My classmate Ye Lingling awakened that very martial soul."

"Your classmate?"

"Really?! That's wonderful! Chen is saved!"

Hearing this, Qian Ying was incredibly excited, and both Lin Qingfeng and Qian Shu were equally overjoyed.

Only Lin Fan curled his lip. He knew that even the Nine Heart Begonia could, at best, sustain Gu Chen's vitality; it could never fully cure her.

Such a defect in the martial soul could only be resolved through evolution or further mutation.

However, Lin Fan did not intend to pour cold water on them just yet. He would let Qian Ying and the others hit a few walls first, and then he would step in!

Come to think of it, Qian Ying was simply too anxious; her entire mind was set on the Nine Heart Begonia, causing her to overlook Lin Fan.

One had to remember that Lin Fan had just helped Dugu Yan resolve her own martial soul defect, yet she hadn't connected that to Gu Chen.

Dugu Bo glanced at Lin Fan, and seeing that he didn't volunteer to speak, he didn't say much either, merely nodding, "Since Yan'er knows her, you might as well accompany Yan'er to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With her there, there certainly won't be any issues."

"Very well, then we shall trouble you, young lady."

Qian Ying looked at Dugu Yan with urgency.

"Don't mention it."

Dugu Yan waved her hand and smiled, "Lin Fan did me a huge favor, so naturally, I should show my gratitude."

"You call me Lin Fan?"

Lin Fan glanced at Dugu Yan and said leisurely, "You should be calling me Second Granduncle. After all, your grandfather and I are brothers!"

"Ah?"

Dugu Yan widened her eyes and couldn't help but look at Dugu Bo, acting spoiled, "Grandfather, look at him!"

"What's wrong?"

Dugu Bo laughed, "Brother Lin is quite right."

Seeing that Dugu Yan had not only escaped the suffering of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent but also possessed higher talent and a greater ceiling, Dugu Bo was in high spirits. He rarely joked around, which left Dugu Yan stomping her feet in frustration.

"Since that is the case, elder brother, why not rest at our home for the night? We shall set off together tomorrow?"

Lin Fan asked directly.

"I won't be staying here."

Dugu Bo shook his head and sighed, "I am responsible for the safety of the Fourth Prince. Let Yan'er stay; you can set off yourselves tomorrow. I cannot stray too far from the Fourth Prince for any length of time."

With Dugu Yan's matter resolved, Dugu Bo had to worry about Xue Beng.

Seeing this, Lin Fan did not want to interfere with his business, so he nodded in agreement, though he had an idea forming in his mind.

Since he was going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, should he make some martial souls to sell?

Those who could enter the Royal Academy certainly had status and could afford the price!

Although their brotherhood was only verbal, Dugu Bo trusted Lin Fan implicitly. He gave Dugu Yan a few instructions before taking his leave of Lin Fan.

Lin Qingfeng and the others naturally would not neglect the granddaughter of a Title Douluo and immediately prepared a separate courtyard for her.

Lin Fan returned to his room, selected a few decent soul beasts, crafted them into martial souls, and then sealed them away using the Martial Soul Book.

Fortunately, as his soul power increased, Lin Fan found crafting the Martial Soul Book even easier than making Poké Balls, and his progress was quite rapid.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, when Lin Fan woke up, Qian Ying and the others were already waiting in the living room, and breakfast had already been served.

After washing up, Lin Fan had just walked into the living room when Gu Chen gave him a faint smile and said softly, "Cousin, thank you for this."

They were not foolish; they knew Dugu Yan was only willing to help because of Lin Fan.

"Pah, what are you thanking me for? We are all family."

Lin Fan laughed, "Just remember to think of me when there are benefits in the future."

"Cough, cough."

Just as Gu Chen was about to speak, she began to cough violently. Her brows furrowed slightly, a sight that carried a unique charm, much like Lin Daiyu.

What a pity, she is a cousin!

Collecting his thoughts, Lin Fan finished breakfast with his family before setting off for Heaven Dou Royal Academy alongside Qian Ying, Gu Chen, and Dugu Yan.

Since it was a matter of life and death, Lin Fan could not afford to rest even though he had just returned, so he had no choice but to follow along.

Besides, he needed to make money!

In any case, Lin Fan had no desire to rest; as long as he could earn money and improve his strength, he didn't mind going without sleep.

Why sleep so long while alive, when there will be eternal slumber after death!

The security between cities was quite decent, so Lin Fan and his group did not encounter any trouble and arrived directly at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

With Dugu Yan leading the way, the guards did not stop them and let them pass immediately.

The moment he stepped into Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lin Fan felt the surrounding soul power become more robust and his absorption rate accelerate, which stirred his heart.

He suddenly remembered that all top-tier academies possessed treasures capable of accelerating the absorption of soul power.

Even if he wasn't a student, it would be a good thing to cultivate inside if the opportunity arose.

"Um, you guys go find Ye Lingling with Dugu Yan; I'm going to wander around the academy by myself."

Lin Fan only cared about making as much money as possible and had no interest in wasting his breath looking for anyone, so he spoke up directly.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan blinked and urged, "By yourself? Will you be alright? There are quite a few troublemakers in this academy, and their soul power cultivation isn't low—don't go getting bullied!"

Lin Fan smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

Getting bullied?

Even though this was Heaven Dou Royal Academy, those students weren't even as good as Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others; as for them, it was hard to say who would be bullying whom!

"Good granddaughter, there is no need to worry about me."

As soon as these words left Lin Fan's mouth, Dugu Yan's cheeks puffed up in anger, yet she could do nothing, as Lin Fan had truly sworn an oath of brotherhood with Dugu Bo, meaning he wasn't technically taking advantage of her.

"Hmph, then go off by yourself."

"Let's go!"

Glaring at Lin Fan, Dugu Yan pulled Gu Chen away, causing Qian Ying to let out a startled cry before she simply waved at Lin Fan and followed after them.

Lin Fan was happy to be left alone, so he strolled through the academy, chose a crowded spot, took a sheet out of his storage Soul Tool, spread it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged.

Countless students were startled by Lin Fan's bizarre behavior, their gazes drawn to him.

The next moment, the words Lin Fan shouted left them all looking shocked.

"Selling martial souls, selling soul rings! Tool martial souls, plant martial souls, beast martial souls—we have everything! Thousand-year soul rings, hundred-year soul rings, take your pick!"

"Fair prices, no cheating! Don't miss out as you pass by!"

In an instant, the many students froze in their tracks.

Selling martial souls and soul rings?

What the hell, could those things even be bought and sold?!
